Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a control switch panel, and in particular to a switch panel structure that uses a rotatable encoder for circuit control. Background Technology

[0002] Switch panels are essential components used to connect circuits and control their on / off states. Both traditional mechanical and modern electronic panels use a push-button operation to control circuit switching; this method only allows turning appliances on or off, and cannot achieve multi-level adjustment. To control fan speed, traditional mechanical panels use rotary switches. Turning the knob lengthens or shortens the resistance wire of a rheostat, thus changing the circuit's resistance. However, the applicability of this type of mechanical rotary switch panel is extremely limited and cannot meet the needs of modern smart home appliances. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a switch panel structure that allows for stepless adjustment of electrical appliances via a code disk, thereby improving the versatility of adjustment and meeting the needs of various electrical appliances.

[0004] The encoder-type control panel structure of this utility model includes a base box with a receiving cavity and a cover plate installed on the base box. A circuit board is installed inside the base box, and an encoder is installed on the circuit board. The encoder is equipped with a resettable toggle switch. The cover plate has an opening that communicates with the receiving cavity. A rotatable encoder is provided at the opening. A circular hole is provided in the center of the encoder. The inner wall of the circular hole is provided with a number of raised teeth along the circumference. The encoder is located within the circular hole of the encoder, and the end of the toggle switch is located at the tooth groove of an adjacent tooth.

[0005] The encoder-type control panel structure of this utility model comprises a base box and a cover plate forming a box-shaped switch panel housing. The encoder is mounted on the switch panel housing and can rotate infinitely clockwise or counterclockwise. During the rotation of the encoder, any tooth will actuate the toggle switch, and after rotating a certain angle, the tooth will disengage from the toggle switch. The toggle switch will then quickly spring back to the gap between adjacent teeth—the tooth groove—thus completing one adjustment control. The electrical appliances connected to the circuit board will produce corresponding state changes, such as the brightness of lamps decreasing or increasing the speed of fans. Subsequently, as the encoder continues to rotate, the toggle switch will be actuated by the teeth again and again, and the electrical appliances will continuously change their corresponding working states. Using this encoder-type control panel structure, adjustments can be made extremely quickly and stably, and it can effectively adapt to the use of various smart home devices, meeting people's diverse needs.

[0006] Preferably, the code disk has an annular recessed platform in the middle, and a round hole is set in the middle of the platform. There is also a connecting seat that can cover the platform and the round hole. The connecting seat and the base box are detachably connected by a connecting component.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a positioning post and a positioning rod disposed opposite to each other on the base box and the connecting seat. The end of the positioning post is provided with a positioning hole into which the end of the positioning rod can be inserted. The base box and the connecting seat are also provided with hooks and slots that engage and fix each other.

[0008] Preferably, a display screen is mounted on the connector, and the display screen is connected to the circuit board via conductive elements.

[0009] Preferably, a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor are installed on the circuit board, and sensing holes are opened on the bottom box opposite to the temperature sensor and humidity sensor. The display screen is connected to the circuit board and displays the ambient temperature and humidity.

[0010] Preferably, the connector is equipped with a light-transmitting plate that can cover the surface of the display screen.

[0011] Preferably, the outer surface of the cover plate is fitted with a decorative panel.

[0012] The above-mentioned encoder control panel structure ensures the stability of encoder connection and operation, expands the applicability of the control panel, and enhances its technological feel and aesthetics. Attached Figure Description

[0021] This utility model proposes a code disk type control panel structure.

[0022] The encoder control panel structure of this embodiment includes a base box 1 with a receiving cavity and a cover plate 2 installed on the base box; a circuit board 3 is installed inside the base box, an encoder 4 is installed on the circuit board, and a resettable toggle switch 5 is installed on the encoder; an opening 21 communicating with the receiving cavity is opened on the cover plate, and a rotatable encoder 6 is provided at the opening. A circular hole 61 is provided in the middle of the encoder 61, and a plurality of raised teeth 62 are provided circumferentially on the inner wall of the circular hole. The encoder is located within the circular hole of the encoder 61, and the end of the toggle switch is located at the groove of the adjacent teeth.

[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the base box and cover plate are connected to form a box-shaped switch panel housing. The code disk is installed on the switch panel housing and can rotate infinitely in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. During the rotation of the code disk, any tooth will actuate the toggle switch, and after rotating a certain angle, the tooth will disengage from the toggle switch. The toggle switch will then quickly spring back to the gap between adjacent teeth—the tooth groove, thus completing one adjustment control. The electrical appliances connected to the circuit board will produce corresponding state changes, such as the brightness of the lamps becoming cooler or dimmer, and the speed of the fan becoming faster or slower. Subsequently, as the code disk continues to rotate, the toggle switch will be actuated by the teeth again and again, and the electrical appliances will continuously change their corresponding working states.

[0024] The aforementioned code disk control panel structure includes a ring-shaped recessed platform 63 in the center of the code disk 6, with a circular hole located in the center of the platform, creating a stepped arrangement. A connecting seat 7 covers the platform and the circular hole. The connecting seat is detachably connected to the base box via a connecting component, thus securing the connecting seat and limiting the code disk's movement to prevent it from falling off, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the code disk's rotation. The connecting component can be as follows: Figure 5 As shown, it includes a positioning post 81 and a positioning rod 82 that are disposed opposite to each other on the base box 1 and the connecting seat 7. The end of the positioning post is provided with a positioning hole into which the end of the positioning rod can be inserted for positioning and improving connection strength. At the same time, the base box 1 and the connecting seat 7 are also provided with a hook 83 and a groove 84 that engage and fix each other, thereby realizing connection and fixation.

[0025] A display screen (not shown) can be installed on the connector 7. The display screen is connected to the circuit board 3 via conductive elements (such as wires), allowing it to show the operating status of the relevant electrical appliances, such as brightness, speed level, percentage, etc., thus creating a more intuitive visual effect and enhancing the technological appeal. In addition, a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor can be installed on the circuit board 2. Sensing holes 11 are provided on the base box 1 opposite to the temperature and humidity sensors to ensure accurate detection. Simultaneously, the display screen connects to the circuit board and displays the ambient temperature and humidity, allowing users to quickly understand the environmental conditions. Furthermore, to better protect the display screen, a light-transmitting plate 9 is installed on the connector 7 to cover the surface of the display screen; similarly, a decorative panel 10 can be installed on the outer surface of the cover plate 2, which also improves the product's aesthetics.
