[0028] This utility model proposes a switch panel structure.

[0029] Example 1, as Figure 1-5 As shown.

[0030] The switch panel structure of this embodiment includes a circuit board 2 mounted on a base box 1, four touch switches 3 mounted on the circuit board, and stationary contact terminals 4 mounted on the circuit board. Each touch switch is configured to cooperate with multiple stationary contact terminals. There is also a base frame 5 mounted on the base box, a keypad 6 detachably mounted on the base frame, and a bracket 7. The base frame is provided with clearance holes 51 at the positions opposite to each touch switch and stationary contact terminal. The four keypads are respectively configured opposite to each touch switch and can be pressed to contact the touch switches. Four display modules 8 are mounted on the bracket. Each display module is equipped with a number of moving contact terminals (not shown) that are electrically connected to the stationary contact terminals.

[0031] The aforementioned switch panel structure connects to electrical appliances via wires or a wireless network. The touch switches on the circuit board act as controllers for these appliances, while the stationary terminals connect to a display module on a bracket via moving terminals. The display module shows the operating status of the appliances, providing a more intuitive understanding of power usage. Each touch switch has four corresponding stationary terminals, which can be used in their entirety or only partially to accommodate different appliances or display modules. Each touch switch is equipped with a corresponding keypad, and each switch can be configured with its own keypad, or the same keypad can be paired with two or more touch switches. Different keypad positions control different switches, ensuring both control requirements and aesthetic appeal, while also meeting diverse customization needs. Furthermore, the display module can be mounted and detached from the bracket and fixed to the base frame to connect the stationary terminals and appliances. The display module can be selected according to different requirements, accommodating various switch panel specifications and appliances.

[0032] The switch panel structure described above includes a recessed mounting groove 52 on the base frame 5. A bracket 7 is detachably mounted on the mounting groove, and a snap-fit ​​assembly 9 is provided between the mounting groove and the bracket for stable mounting and to ensure the neatness and aesthetics of the switch panel surface. At least one end of the mounting groove 52 extends to the side of the base frame 5, and the end of the bracket 7 correspondingly extends to the end of the mounting groove. The snap-fit ​​assembly 9 is located between the end of the mounting groove and the end of the bracket. Figure 1-3 As shown, both ends of the mounting groove extend to the sides of the base frame, creating a horizontally integrated structure between the bracket and the display module, thus improving the aesthetics of the switch panel. A decorative panel 10 is installed on the outer side of the button panel 6 to further enhance its appearance. Additionally, a light-transmitting plate 11 covering all display modules 8 is mounted on the outer side of the bracket 7, further improving the product's aesthetics. Furthermore, as... Figure 4 As shown, the display module 8 and the bracket 7 are also detachably connected via a snap-fit ​​assembly 9, and the display module 8 is installed inside the bracket 7 to prevent it from falling off. This also allows the moving contact terminals on the display module to more easily contact the stationary contact terminals on the circuit board. In addition, as... Figure 1 , 5 As shown, the mounting groove 52 is arranged horizontally, and the base frame 5 is located between the horizontal button panels 6 and is provided with a vertically arranged partition groove 53. There is also a partition strip 12 that can be detachably installed on the partition groove. In addition to ensuring aesthetics, this also allows for the selection of whether to install the partition strip as needed. When the partition strip is not used, an integrated whole button panel can be used horizontally, thereby enabling the switch panel to form more different structures and further improving its versatility and range of use.

[0033] Example 2, as Figure 6 , 7 As shown.

[0034] In this embodiment of the switch panel structure, the circuit board 2 has stationary contact terminals 4 that cooperate with two or more touch switches 3, which are centrally installed on one of the clearance holes 51 of the base frame 5. The display module 8 is one, including a display frame 81, a display panel 82 and a display 83. The display frame is detachably installed on the mounting groove 52 of the base frame, and the display frame has through holes 84 opposite to the stationary contact terminals. The moving contact terminals are set on the display panel and electrically connected to the stationary contact terminals. Two displays are installed on the display panel, and each display displays the electrical appliances corresponding to the two touch switches. This can reduce the number of displays required, thereby further reducing production costs.

[0035] Example 3, as Figure 8-10 As shown.

[0036] In the switch panel structure of this embodiment, the same button plate 6 is installed at the opposite position of two or more touch switches 3. One end of the mounting groove 52 extends to the side of the base frame 5 and the other end is set at the side of the button plate. The side of the button plate is provided with a positioning groove 61, and the end of the bracket 7 is provided with a positioning block 71 that is locked in the positioning groove. This not only improves the aesthetics, but also improves the stability of the bracket installation.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
