[0036] Some embodiments of the smart home device provided in the present application are provided below in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] In the embodiments of the first aspect of the present application, a smart home device 100 is provided, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The shell 1 is used for mounting the functional device 2, the electric control assembly 3 and the operating assembly 4; the functional device 2 is arranged in the shell 1 or on the surface of the shell 1, and the functional device 2 is used to realize specific use functions, such as display, signal transmission and reception, etc.; at least part of the structure of the electric control assembly 3 is arranged in the shell 1, and the electric control assembly 3 is electrically connected with the functional device 2 to control the working state of the functional device 2, such as switching, parameter adjustment, etc. The operating assembly 4 at least includes a rotating operating member 41, which is arranged on the shell 1 and movably connected with the shell 1; the rotating operating member 41 can rotate relative to the shell 1 and also can move in a first direction; the rotating operating member 41 corresponds to the electric control assembly 3, and the rotating operating member 41 can make the electric control assembly 3 generate a first electric control signal when rotating, and the rotating operating member 41 can make the electric control assembly 3 generate a second electric control signal when moving in the first direction; the electric control assembly 3 controls the working state of the functional device 2 according to the first electric control signal or the second electric control signal to realize the corresponding function.

[0038] The movement of the rotating operating member 41 in the first direction can be a whole synchronous movement, or a local movement on the rotating operating member 41.

[0039] It can be understood that keys or knobs are usually used as operation control structures in household devices or electronic products, and when more functions need to be realized, a large number of knobs or keys need to be set, which will increase the structural complexity of the device or product and affect the simplicity of the appearance.

[0040] The smart home device 100 in the embodiment can realize the operation control of different function devices 2 by a single operation piece through the improvement and optimization of the structure, the cooperation of the electric control assembly 3 and the operation assembly 4, and the setting of the rotary operation piece 41 which can be rotated and pressed in the operation assembly 4, without setting operation pieces for each function device 2, simplifying the structure setting, making the appearance more simple, facilitating the use and operation, facilitating the assembly and processing, and being beneficial to improve the production efficiency and reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0041] It should be noted that the first direction can be perpendicular to the rotation plane of the rotary operation piece 41, such as the example in Figure 1 . In order to facilitate understanding, the first direction is perpendicular to the rotation plane of the rotary operation piece 41 in the embodiments of the present application, and the rotation plane includes a second direction and a third direction perpendicular to each other, wherein the first direction, the second direction and the third direction correspond to the thickness direction, the length direction and the width direction of the shell respectively. The same is true for the following embodiments.

[0042] In further embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in the smart home device 100, the electric control assembly 3 comprises a rotation detector 31, a first contact detector 32 and a controller 33. The controller 33 is electrically connected with the rotation detector 31 and the first contact detector 32 respectively. The rotation detector 31 is used for detecting the rotation displacement amount of the rotation operating member 41 and is correspondingly arranged with the rotation operating member 41. The rotation detector 31 comprises a rotating part 311 and a fixed part 312. The rotating part 311 is rotationally connected with the fixed part 312 and is connected with the rotation operating member 41. When the rotation operating member 41 rotates relative to the shell 1, the rotating part 311 can rotate relative to the fixed part 312 under the driving of the rotation operating member 41. The fixed part 312 can detect the rotation movement of the rotating part 311, indirectly obtain the rotation displacement amount of the rotation operating member 41, and generate a corresponding first electric control signal and send it to the controller 33. The first contact detector 32 is correspondingly arranged with the rotation operating member 41 in the first direction, and there is a certain gap between them in the initial state. When the rotation operating member 41 moves towards the first contact detector 32 in the first direction and contacts the first contact detector 32, the first contact detector 32 is triggered to generate a corresponding second electric control signal and send it to the controller 33. The controller 33 controls the functional device 2 according to the received first electric control signal and / or second electric control signal to control the functional device 2 to realize the corresponding function.

[0043] In further embodiments of the present application, as an example in Figures 4 to 6 , in the smart home device 100, the shell 1 is provided with a through operation port 111 on one side in the first direction, and the operation assembly 4 is correspondingly arranged in the operation port 111. The rotation detector 31 and the first contact detector 32 are correspondingly arranged with the operation port 111. The rotation operating member 41 has a hollow structure and a through end in the first direction towards the inside of the shell 1. The inner side wall of the rotation operating member 41 has a plurality of connecting members. The through end of the rotation operating member 41 extends into the shell 1 through the operation port 111 and covers the circumferential outside of the rotation detector 31. The end of the rotation operating member 41 extending into the shell 1 is correspondingly arranged with the first contact detector 32. The rotation operating member 41 is connected with the rotating part 311 of the rotation detector 31 through the plurality of connecting members. When the rotation operating member 41 rotates, the rotating part 311 rotates together. When the rotation operating member 41 moves towards the first contact detector 32 in the first direction, the rotating part 311 is in a stationary state.

[0044] Further, as an example in Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8In the example shown in FIG. 31, the outer side wall of the rotating portion 311 of the rotation detector 31 is provided with a plurality of first sliding grooves 3111 and a plurality of second sliding grooves 3112, the first sliding grooves 3111 and the second sliding grooves 3112 are arranged alternately in the circumferential direction, the first sliding grooves 3111 and the second sliding grooves 3112 both extend in the first direction, and the second sliding grooves 3112 are through at the ends away from the operation port 111. Correspondingly, the connecting member on the inner side wall of the rotation operation member 41 specifically includes a plurality of elastic hooks 4111 and a plurality of guide columns 4112, the plurality of elastic hooks 4111 and the plurality of guide columns 4112 are arranged alternately in the circumferential direction of the rotating portion 311; the elastic hooks 4111 are arranged correspondingly with the first sliding grooves 3111 and extend into the first sliding grooves 3111 from the side to form a clamping fit with the first sliding grooves 3111, and the guide columns 4112 are arranged correspondingly with the second sliding grooves 3112 and extend into the second sliding grooves 3112 in the first direction to form a sliding fit with the second sliding grooves 3112. The first sliding grooves 3111 and the second sliding grooves 3112 can form circumferential limiting for the rotation operation member 41 to ensure that the rotating portion 311 can rotate when the rotation operation member 41 rotates; when the rotation operation member 41 moves in the first direction in the local area in the circumferential direction towards the first contact detector 32, the corresponding elastic hooks 4111 can elastically deform and linearly displace a certain amount to ensure that the elastic hooks 4111 will not be separated from the first sliding grooves 3111, and the first sliding grooves 3111 can also limit the elastic hooks 4111 in the first direction, and the second sliding grooves 3112 can guide. By using the cooperation of the elastic hooks 4111, the guide columns 4112, the first sliding grooves 3111 and the second sliding grooves 3112, the rotation cooperation and the local movement of the rotation operation member 41 can be realized at the same time, and the assembly connection with the rotating portion 311 is facilitated.

[0045] In further embodiments of the present application, as Figures 5 to 9As shown, the first contact detector 32 comprises a plurality of first contact elements 321, which are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the rotary operating member 41, and any one of the first contact elements 321 can generate a first electrical control signal in the state of contacting the rotary operating member 41; one end of the rotary operating member 41 extending into the operating port 111 forms an abutting portion 412, which extends outward of the rotary operating member 41 and extends in the circumferential direction. The abutting portion 412 is divided into a plurality of abutting sub-segments in the circumferential direction, and each abutting sub-segment corresponds to one of the first contact elements 321. When different positions on the rotary operating member 41 are pressed, the abutting sub-segment of the corresponding region moves towards the first contact detector 32 under the action of pressure; when any one of the abutting sub-segments moves towards the first contact detector 32 in the first direction, it can contact the corresponding one of the first contact elements 321, so that the first contact element 321 generates a second electrical control signal. Different second electrical control signals generated by different first contact elements 321 can correspond to different operation controls, for example, can control the target option to move in different directions respectively.

[0046] In further embodiments of the present application, as in the example of Figures 5 to 7 The circumferential outer side of the rotary operating member 41 is sleeved with a metal sleeve 42, which is fixedly connected with the rotary operating member 41, and the metal sleeve 42 can be twisted to rotate the rotary operating member 41 during use, and the metal sleeve 42 can improve the strength and enhance the touch feeling. Further, a granular surface or a concave-convex surface can be provided on the outer side of the metal sleeve 42 to increase the friction when the hand contacts, which can prevent the hand from slipping during rotation.

[0047] In further embodiments of the present application, as in the example of Figures 5 to 9As shown, the flexible contact piece 43 is arranged between the first contact detector 32 and the abutting portion 412 of the rotating operating member 41, and when the abutting portion 412 moves towards the first contact detector 32, the flexible contact piece 43 is used to buffer between the abutting portion 412 and the first contact detector 32, to form soft contact, so as to avoid collision or impact of the abutting portion 412 on the first contact detector 32, and to protect the first contact detector 32. The flexible contact piece 43 can be made of silica gel, rubber or the like, and has a first elastic structure 431. In the initial state, one side of the flexible contact piece 43 abuts against the abutting portion 412, and the other side has a gap with the first contact detector 32. When the abutting sub-portion of the abutting portion 412 moves towards the first contact detector 32, the first elastic structure 431 of the flexible contact piece 43 is driven to move and deform, and contacts the first contact element 321 of the first contact detector 32. When the abutting portion 412 moves away from the first contact detector 32, the flexible contact piece 43 can reset under the action of elastic force. In actual application, a plurality of independent flexible contact pieces 43 can be arranged to correspond to a plurality of first contact elements 321, or as shown in the example in Figure 9 , an integral flexible piece can be arranged, and the flexible contact piece 43 corresponding to each first contact element 321 is arranged on the integral flexible piece, so as to facilitate assembly.

[0048] In further embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 5 to 7 and Figure 9 , the smart home device 100 further comprises a second contact detector 34, and the operating assembly 4 further comprises a pressing piece 44. The fixed portion 312 of the rotation detector 31 has a containing cavity penetrating in the first direction, and the rotating operating member 41 is provided with a pressing hole 413 penetrating in the first direction, and the pressing hole 413 is arranged corresponding to the containing cavity. The pressing piece 44 is arranged in the pressing hole 413 of the rotating operating member 41, corresponding to the second contact detector 34. The pressing piece 44 can slide in the first direction under the action of external force, and contact the second contact detector 34. The second contact detector 34 can generate a third control signal when contacting the pressing piece 44. The second contact detector 34 is arranged in the containing cavity, and the controller 33 is electrically connected with the second contact detector 34. The controller 33 receives the third control signal, and controls the working state of the corresponding functional device 2, to realize the corresponding function. By nesting the pressing piece 44 in the inside of the rotating operating member 41, more operating structures can be arranged to meet different control operation requirements of the smart home device 100.

[0049] Further, in a specific implementation manner, as shown in Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 10In the example, the pressing member 44 specifically includes a connecting bracket 441 and a pressing cover 442. The pressing cover 442 is disposed at the pressing hole 413 of the rotating operating member 41 and partially extends into the pressing hole 413. A limiting protrusion 4421 is provided on the circumferential edge of the pressing cover 442. The limiting protrusion 4421 is disposed opposite to the inner edge of the pressing hole 413 to limit the pressing cover 442 and prevent the pressing cover 442 from falling out of the pressing hole 413. The connecting bracket 441 is disposed at one end of the fixing part 312 facing the pressing hole 413. A plurality of limiting posts 4411 are provided circumferentially at intervals on the end of the connecting bracket 441 facing the fixing part 312. Correspondingly, a plurality of slots 3121 are provided circumferentially on the inner sidewall of the receiving cavity of the fixing part 312. Each slot 3121 passes through the end of the pressing hole 413 in a first direction. Slots 3121 and limiting posts 4411 are correspondingly arranged and both extend along the first direction. Each limiting post 4411 extends into a corresponding slot 3121 and abuts against the inner wall of the slot 3121 in the first direction, so that the connecting bracket 441 and the fixing part 312 form a plug-in engagement. Among them, the connecting bracket 441 has a second elastic structure 4412 near the middle. The second elastic structure 4412 corresponds to the pressing cover 442, which is inserted into the pressing hole 413. When the pressing cover 442 moves toward the pressing hole 413 under the action of external force, the pressing cover 442 abuts against the second elastic structure 4412. The second elastic structure 4412 is squeezed and moves toward the second contact detector 34 to contact the second contact detector 34 and cause the second contact detector 34 to generate a third electronic control signal. When the external force on the pressing cover 442 is removed, the second elastic structure 4412 can return to its original shape under the action of elasticity and drive the pressing cover 442 to reset. By configuring the pressing cover 442 and the connecting bracket 441, disassembly and assembly can be facilitated, and the pressing element 44 can be automatically reset using the second elastic structure 4412. In practical applications, the second elastic structure 4412 can be adopted as follows: Figure 10 The hollow structure in the middle can also be a closed structure with a certain degree of elasticity. In order to meet the dimensional requirements in the first direction, a contact structure can also be set on the side of the second elastic structure 4412 facing the second contact detector 34, or the dimensions of the second elastic structure 4412 in the first direction can be reasonably set to ensure that the second elastic structure 4412 can contact the second contact detector 34.

[0050] In further embodiments of this application, such as Figures 5 to 7As shown in the figure, in the smart home device 100, the electric control assembly 3 further comprises a sensing element 35 for sensing the distance between the user and the smart home device 100 and generating a corresponding sensing signal; the sensing element 35 is arranged in the accommodating cavity of the rotation detector 31 and corresponds to the rotation operating piece 41 and the pressing piece 44, and the sensing element 35 is electrically connected with the controller 33. When the user approaches the smart home device 100 and enters the preset sensing range, the sensing element 35 triggers the sensing signal, and the controller 33 receives the sensing signal and controls the working state of the corresponding functional device 2 to realize the corresponding function.

[0051] In further embodiments of the present application, as Figures 1 to 10 shown, the smart home device 100 is a smart gateway. Among them, the functional device 2 of the smart home device 100 at least includes a display device 21 for displaying environmental temperature, humidity and other information; the display device 21 is arranged in the shell 1, and the shell 1 has a light-transmitting area 112 on one side wall in the first direction, and the display device 21 is arranged corresponding to the light-transmitting area 112, so that the display picture of the display device 21 can be viewed by the user through the light-transmitting area 112, and at the same time, it can also protect the real device.
