Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heater technology, and in particular to a heater control panel. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional household heater control panels mainly come in two types: mechanical switches and touch screen switches. However, regardless of the type, they mostly employ an open design, meaning the buttons, knobs, or touch screens are directly exposed to the external environment. After prolonged use, dust easily accumulates on the control panel, and dust can even seep in through the gaps between the buttons, causing problems such as button jamming and blurry displays.

[0003] Many existing control panels have covers on the outside, typically either flip-top or sliding covers. Flip-top covers use hinges to open and close, but these hinges are prone to damage after frequent opening and closing, causing the cover to sag or fail to close, reducing its dust and water resistance. Traditional sliding covers rely on a single-sided rail or plastic clips, which are susceptible to wear, loosening, or even derailment after prolonged use, resulting in a short lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a heater control panel with a long service life and excellent dust and water resistance.

[0005] Therefore, the technical solution of this utility model is: a heater control panel, including a panel body, a display area and an operation area on the panel body, a display screen on the display area, and multiple operation buttons on the operation area; a sliding cover is provided on the outer side of the operation area, and a vertically arranged guide rail is provided on both sides of the operation area, with the inner side of the sliding cover slidingly engaged with the guide rail; a first magnetic strip is provided on the upper edge of the sliding cover, and a rubber sealing strip is provided around the outer side of the first magnetic strip; a first magnetically conductive stainless steel sheet is embedded in the lower edge of the display area, and the sliding cover is magnetically fixed below the display area, with the two sealed together by the rubber sealing strip.

[0006] Based on the above solution and as a preferred embodiment of the above solution: the outer side of the display screen is covered with a waterproof PET film, and the edge of the waterproof PET film extends outward to cover the junction between the display screen and the panel body.

[0007] Based on the above scheme and as a preferred embodiment of the above scheme: the operation area is lower than the display area, and the sliding cover moves up to be flush with the display area.

[0008] Based on the above scheme and as a preferred embodiment of the above scheme: a square groove is provided on the inner side of the sliding cover, and a rubber sealing ring is provided in the square groove.

[0009] Based on the above scheme and as a preferred embodiment of the above scheme: a second magnetic strip is provided below the operating area, and a second magnetically conductive stainless steel sheet is provided on the inner side above the sliding cover. When the sliding cover moves down, the second magnetically conductive stainless steel sheet and the second magnetic strip are magnetically attracted and fixed.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] 1. The display area and operation area are separated for dust protection. Only the operation area is equipped with an openable sliding cover. The sliding cover protects the operation area, prevents dust accumulation on the operation buttons, and prevents dust from seeping in through the button gaps, thus extending the button's lifespan. The display screen is located above the sliding cover, allowing users to directly observe the content on the screen. A waterproof PET film is covered on the outside of the display screen, and the waterproof PET film covers all the installation gaps of the display screen, thereby playing a role in dust and water protection.

[0012] 2. When the sliding cover is closed, the top edge of the sliding cover is magnetically secured to the bottom edge of the display area; when the sliding cover slides down, the upper inner side of the sliding cover is magnetically secured to the lower part of the operation area, which can effectively prevent the sliding cover from slipping off and ensure normal use of the sliding cover.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the directional terms such as "center", "horizontal (X)", "longitudinal (Y)", "vertical (Z)", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", and "counterclockwise" indicate the orientation and positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. They should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features. Thus, the use of "first" and "second" to define a feature may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "several" or "a number" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0022] See the attached drawings. The heater control panel of this embodiment includes a panel body 1, on which a display area 11 and an operation area 12 are provided. The display area 11 is provided with a display screen 2. The display screen 2 is covered with a waterproof PET film on its outer side. The edge of the waterproof PET film extends outward to cover the junction between the display screen 2 and the panel body 1. The waterproof PET film covers all the installation gaps of the display screen 2, thereby playing a role in dust and water protection.

[0023] The operation area 12 is lower than the display area 11. The operation area 12 has multiple operation buttons 13. A vertically arranged T-shaped guide rail 14 is provided on both the left and right sides of the operation area 13. A sliding cover 3 is provided on the outer side of the operation area 12, and a T-shaped groove 31 is provided on the inner side of the sliding cover 3 to slide in conjunction with the guide rail. Normally, the sliding cover 3 can cover the outer side of the operation area 12. When in use, the sliding cover 3 can be slid down to expose the operation buttons 13.

[0024] The sliding cover 3 has a first magnetic strip 32 along its upper edge, and a rubber sealing strip 33 surrounds the outer side of the first magnetic strip 32. The first magnetic strip 32 is slightly lower than the rubber sealing strip 33. When the magnet is attracted, it can squeeze the rubber sealing strip, resulting in a better sealing effect. The display area 11 and the operation area 12 have a protruding lower edge, on which a first magnetically conductive stainless steel sheet 15 is embedded, opposite to the first magnetic strip 32. When the sliding cover 3 is closed, the first magnetic strip 32 and the first magnetically conductive stainless steel sheet 15 are magnetically attracted and fixed, so that the sliding cover 3 is magnetically fixed below the display area 11, and the two are sealed together by the rubber sealing strip 33. The magnetic fixation of the sliding cover 3 can effectively prevent the sliding cover 3 from falling off.

[0025] The sliding cover 3 has a square groove 34 on its inner side, and a rubber sealing ring 4 is installed inside the square groove 34. When the sliding cover 3 is closed, the rubber sealing ring 4 can increase the sealing with the operating area 12 and improve the waterproof and dustproof capabilities. A second magnetic strip 16 is provided below the operating area 12, and a second magnetically conductive stainless steel sheet 35 is provided on the inner side of the upper part of the sliding cover 3. When the sliding cover 3 moves down, the second magnetically conductive stainless steel sheet 35 can be magnetically attracted and fixed with the second magnetic strip 16, preventing the sliding cover 3 from completely falling off. This magnetic attraction limiting fixing method has a longer service life and makes the sliding cover easier to install and remove. Other blocking block designs are prone to damage after long-term use.

[0026] In this embodiment, the display area and the operation area are separated for dust protection. Only the operation area is provided with an openable sliding cover. The sliding cover protects the operation area, prevents dust from accumulating on the operation buttons, and prevents dust from seeping in through the button gaps, thus extending the button's lifespan. The display screen is located above the sliding cover, allowing the user to directly observe the content on the display screen. A waterproof PET film is covered on the outside of the display screen, and the waterproof PET film covers all the installation gaps of the display screen, thereby achieving the function of dust and water protection.

[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
