[0036] Example 1
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a novel control panel, including a panel base 1. An assembly channel 111 is provided at the front end of the panel base 1, and a touch panel 2 is inserted into the assembly channel 111. An assembly space 112 is provided inside the panel base 1, and the assembly space 112 is connected to the assembly channel 111. A circuit assembly 3 is fixed inside the assembly space 112, and the circuit assembly 3 is electrically connected to an external live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire. The touch panel 2 is electrically connected to the circuit assembly 3. The front end of the circuit assembly 3 extends into the assembly channel 111 and is electrically connected to a light-emitting device 32. A light-transmitting plate 4 is provided at the bottom of the assembly channel 111.
[0038] The touch panel 2 is plugged into the assembly channel 111 and electrically connected to the circuit assembly 3 to control the switching of electrical components. It also enables various control requests for these components, enhancing the functionality of the control panel. The panel base 1 is mounted inside the wall, minimizing the size of the opening and reducing damage to the wall surface. A light-emitting device 32 is installed within the assembly channel 111, emitting light from a bottom light-transmitting plate 4 to create a night light, improving the control panel's location and enhancing local illumination. In this embodiment, the touch panel 2 is a glass touch panel. Part of the light from the light-emitting device 32 shines upwards, illuminating the touch panel 2 and increasing the visibility of the touch area, thus facilitating touch operation.
[0039] In this example, the front end of the panel base 1 is vertically set and a decorative panel 5 is attached and fixed thereon. The decorative panel 5 decorates the entire control panel and enhances the overall visual effect. Furthermore, the decorative panel 5 can be set as an electronic decorative panel 5. The electronic decorative panel 5 is electrically connected to the circuit component 3. The decorative effect can be customized through the electronic decorative panel 5 to further enhance the overall visual effect.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 3-5 As shown, specifically, a support plate 113 is provided within the assembly channel 111, and the bottom end of the touch panel 2 rests against the support plate 113. A wiring notch 114 is provided on the support plate 113, and a wiring channel 115 is provided on the assembly channel 111. Both the wiring notch 114 and the wiring channel 115 are connected to the assembly space 112. The support plate 113 supports the bottom of the touch panel 2, ensuring the stability of the touch panel 2 in the assembled state; the wiring notch 114 on the support plate 113 and the wiring channel 115 on the assembly channel 111 facilitate circuit connection between the touch panel 2 and the circuit assembly 3.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, furthermore, the bottom front side of the touch panel 2 is provided with an inclined surface, which slopes upward from the bottom front end to the front side of the touch panel 2; a supporting triangular plate 116 is provided on the supporting horizontal plate 113, and the inclined surface of the supporting triangular plate 116 abuts against the inclined surface. The inclined surface of the supporting triangular plate 116 forms a wedge assembly structure, which provides a backward force to the touch panel 2 when it is assembled downward, ensuring that the back of the touch panel 2 is tightly fitted with the assembly channel 111, further ensuring the stability of the touch panel 2 in the assembled state, and at the same time playing a positioning role to ensure the accuracy of the installation position of the touch panel 2.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 4As shown, specifically, circuit assembly 3 includes a circuit board 31, which is embedded in the assembly space 112, with its front end extending into the assembly channel 111. A light-emitting device 32 is disposed at the front end of the circuit board 31, and a wiring port 33 is provided on the top surface of the rear end of the circuit board 31. The wiring port 33 is electrically connected to an external live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire. The front end of the circuit board 31 extending into the assembly channel 111 forms a "T"-shaped circuit board 31, providing a larger assembly space 112 for the light-emitting device 32 and ensuring its stability after assembly. In this embodiment, the light-emitting device 32 is an LED, disposed on the top surface of the front end of the circuit board 31. The light is reflected and emitted from the light-transmitting plate 4, providing an illumination effect. Similarly, the light-emitting device 32 can also be disposed on the bottom surface of the front end of the circuit board 31, allowing the light from the light-emitting device 32 to directly pass through the light-transmitting plate 4 and emit out, improving the illumination effect.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 3-5 As shown, further, an upper pressing plate 117 extending downwards is provided on the bottom surface of the supporting horizontal plate 113, and the bottom surface of the upper pressing plate 117 abuts against and fits against the top front surface of the circuit board 31; a lower support plate 121 is provided at the bottom of the assembly space 112, and the lower support plate 121 abuts against and fits against the bottom rear surface of the circuit board 31. The upper pressing plate 117 presses and limits the top front surface of the circuit board 31 from above, and the lower support plate 121 supports the bottom rear surface of the circuit board 31 from below, forming a downward limiting structure, which improves the stability of the circuit board 31 in the assembled state and prevents the circuit board 31 from shifting position, thus affecting the control effect of the electrical appliance.
[0044] Specifically, the panel base 1 includes a housing 11 and a lower cover 12. An assembly channel 111 is located at the front end of the housing 11, and an assembly space 112 is located at the rear end of the housing 11. The lower cover 12 is fitted over the bottom opening of the housing 11. A light-transmitting channel 124 is provided at the front end of the lower cover 12, which is connected to the assembly channel 111. A light-transmitting plate 4 is embedded in the light-transmitting channel 124. In this embodiment, a lower support plate 121 is provided on the lower cover 12, effectively improving the structural strength of the lower cover 12. Furthermore, a protruding locking block 122 is provided on the front side of the lower cover 12, and a corresponding locking groove 118 is provided at the bottom front end of the housing 11. The locking block 122 is embedded in the locking groove 118, providing secondary positioning of the lower cover 12 and preventing the bolts from coming loose and causing the lower cover 12 to separate from the housing 11, thus affecting the use of the control panel.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the assembly space 112 is provided with positioning protrusions 119, and the circuit board 31 is provided with positioning notches 311 corresponding to the positioning protrusions 119. The positioning protrusions 119 are embedded in the positioning notches 311. The positioning protrusions 119 and the positioning notches 311 cooperate with each other to position the assembly position of the circuit board 31, ensuring the accuracy of the assembly position of the circuit board 31.
[0046] Furthermore, the top surface of the lower cover 12 is provided with assembly blocks 123 corresponding to the positioning protrusions 119. The assembly blocks 123 abut against the positioning blocks and are connected by a connector (not shown in the attached drawings). In this embodiment, the connector is a bolt, which passes through the assembly block 123 and is threadedly connected to the positioning block to fix the lower cover 12. This allows the positioning protrusions 119 to simultaneously serve as the connectors to the lower cover 12, effectively reducing the complexity of the internal structure of the housing 11 and lowering production costs.
[0047] Example 2
[0048] Please refer to Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a novel control panel with the same structure as the control panel in Embodiment 1. The difference lies in that, in this embodiment, the front bottom surface of the housing 11 is an inclined light-emitting surface 120, which is inclined upwards from the inside to the outside. This causes the light from the light-emitting device 32 to extend obliquely outwards, illuminating the space in front of the control panel. This ensures that the user can obtain information about objects in the space in front of the control panel, allowing the user to safely move to the front of the control panel and operate it, avoiding obstructions at the operating position that could affect the user's safety. Simultaneously, the oblique outward illumination effectively increases the illumination range of the light-emitting device 32, improving nighttime lighting effects.
[0049] In this embodiment, the circuit board 31 is embedded in the assembly space 112, and the front end of the circuit board 31 extends to the side of the assembly channel 111. The light-emitting device 32 is disposed at the front end of the circuit board 31 and protrudes from the circuit board 31, ensuring that the light-emitting device 32 can extend into the assembly channel 111, so that light can directly pass through the light-transmitting plate 4 to illuminate the outside, thereby improving the lighting effect.
[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
