[0032] To solve this technical problem, this utility model provides a novel control panel for use in smart homes.

[0033] For details, please refer to Figures 1-6 The new control panel specifically includes:

[0034] The panel housing 1 has a receiving cavity 6 on its front side. The display module 2 and the adapter pad 3 are respectively inserted and connected inside the receiving cavity 6. The adapter pad 3 is located at the end of the panel housing 1. A limit stop 4 is provided at one end of the panel housing 1 near the adapter pad 3. The lower end of the limit stop 4 is rotatably connected to the panel housing 1, and the upper end of the limit stop 4 is fastened to the panel housing 1.

[0035] A limit buckle 5 is provided at the upper end of the panel housing 1 and near the limit stop 4. The limit buckle 5 is U-shaped and is rotatably connected to the panel housing 1. A buckle groove 11 is provided at the top of the limit stop 4, and the limit buckle 5 is fastened to the buckle groove 11.

[0036] The limiting stop 4 has a strip groove 8 on the side near the adapter pad 3. Both the upper and lower ends of the strip groove 8 are provided with elastic elements 9, and one end of the elastic element 9 is fixedly connected to the limiting stop 4.

[0037] The novel control panel provided by this utility model, through the structural design of the display module 2, the adapter pad 3, and the limiting stop 4, allows the display module 2 to be removed and replaced when it is damaged, thereby avoiding the increased cost and cumbersome steps caused by replacing the entire control panel.

[0038] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1-6A new type of control panel, comprising:

[0041] The panel housing 1 has a receiving cavity 6 on its front side. The receiving cavity 6 is used to insert and connect a display module 2 and an adapter pad 3. The adapter pad 3 is located at the end of the panel housing 1. A limit stop 4 is provided at one end of the panel housing 1 near the adapter pad 3. The lower end of the limit stop 4 is rotatably connected to the panel housing 1, and the upper end of the limit stop 4 is fastened to the panel housing 1. In order to guide and limit the insertion of the display module 2 and the adapter pad 3, the upper and lower ends of the receiving cavity 6 are provided with sliding grooves 7. The display module 2 and the adapter pad 3 are both horizontally inserted and connected to the panel housing 1 through the sliding grooves 7.

[0042] Furthermore, in order to limit the top of the limiting stop 4, a limiting buckle 5 is provided at the upper end of the panel housing 1 and near the limiting stop 4. The limiting buckle 5 is U-shaped and is rotatably connected to the panel housing 1. A buckle groove 11 is provided at the top of the limiting stop 4, and the limiting buckle 5 is fastened to the buckle groove 11. In order to facilitate the flipping of the limiting buckle 5, a flip piece 12 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting buckle 5.

[0043] Furthermore, in order to improve the pressing effect of the limiting stop 4 on the display module 2 and the adapter pad 3, a strip groove 8 is provided on the side of the limiting stop 4 near the adapter pad 3. Elastic members 9 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the strip groove 8, and one end of the elastic member 9 is fixedly connected to the limiting stop 4.

[0044] Specifically, in order to achieve the fixing effect of the elastic element 9, a positioning post 10 is fixedly connected inside the strip groove 8 and near the end. One end of the elastic element 9 is inserted into the corresponding positioning post 10, and the positioning post 10 and the elastic element 9 are fixed by adhesive.

[0045] It can be seen that when the display module 2 is damaged and needs to be replaced, the limiting bracket 5 is rotated upward to separate the limiting bracket 5 from the buckle groove 11 at the top of the limiting stop 4, so that the limiting stop 4 can be flipped downward to open, and the adapter pad 3 and the display module 2 can be taken out in sequence, so that the display module 2 can be replaced separately; in addition, by providing the adapter pad 3, the length of the adapter pad 3 is changed at the same time when the length of the display module 2 is changed, so that the size of the adapter pad 3 and the display module 2 are adapted to the receiving cavity 6 opened in the panel housing 1.

[0046] Example 2:

[0047] The novel control panel provided in Example 1 is further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figures 7-8As shown, a transparent protective plate 13 is provided on the front of the panel housing 1. The transparent protective plate 13 is L-shaped. One end of the transparent protective plate 13 is fixedly connected to a first connecting strip 14. The first connecting strip 14 is plugged into the panel housing 1. The other end of the transparent protective plate 13 extends to the position between the adapter pad 3 and the limiting stop 4.

[0048] Furthermore, in order to improve the clamping firmness of the adapter pad 3 and the limiting stop 4 on the transparent protective plate 13, a connecting slot 15 is provided on the side of the adapter pad 3, and a second connecting strip 16 is fixedly connected to the position where the transparent protective plate 13 extends to the position between the adapter pad 3 and the limiting stop 4, and the second connecting strip 16 is plugged into the connecting slot 15.

[0049] Through the above structural design, the transparent protective plate 13 can protect the display module 2, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the display module 2. When replacing the transparent protective plate 13, the limiting stop 4 at the top is released and flipped downward according to the steps in Embodiment 1, so that the transparent protective plate 13 can move laterally, so that one end of the transparent protective plate 13 is separated from the panel housing 1, and at the same time, the second connecting strip 16 at the other end of the transparent protective plate 13 is separated from the connecting slot 15, thereby completing the removal of the transparent protective plate 13.
