[0024] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a hidden water tank panel 1 with graphic display for controlling the drainage of the drain valve 60. It includes a housing 10, a cover 20, a backlight 30, and a pattern layer 40. A transparent observation window 21 is provided on the cover 20, which covers the housing 10. The pattern layer 40 is disposed between the housing 10 and the cover 20. The side of the pattern layer 40 facing the observation window 21 has a pattern. The backlight 30 is disposed on the housing 10 and is used to illuminate the pattern layer 40 so that the pattern on the pattern layer 40 is displayed in the observation window 21 for human eyes to see.
[0026] Specifically, the pattern layer 40 is located within the observation window 21, and the size and shape of the pattern layer 40 are adapted to the size and shape of the observation window 21.
[0027] Preferably, the backlight 30 is a light panel with multiple LEDs on the side facing the observation window 21. It is understood that the pattern layer 40 is made of a light-transmitting material that allows light to pass through. The light from the light panel can pass through the pattern layer 40 and project the pattern of the pattern layer 40 onto the observation window 21 to form a display effect. Of course, the pattern layer 40 can also be made of a semi-transparent material or have a hollow structure to achieve the above display effect, which is not limited here.
[0028] Furthermore, ink is applied to the side of the observation window 21 facing the housing 10. The backlight 30 can be turned on to emit light or turned off. When the backlight 30 is emitting light, it illuminates the pattern layer 40. When the backlight 30 is turned off, the ink can reflect external light to hide the pattern on the pattern layer 40.
[0029] Specifically, a main control board 111 is provided on the housing 10. The main control board 111 is electrically connected to the backlight 30 and is also connected to a human body sensor 112. After the human body sensor 112 detects a human body, it controls the backlight 30 to turn on and emit light through the main control board 111 to illuminate the pattern layer 40, making it easier for users to discover and improving the aesthetics of the concealed water tank panel 1 of this utility model.
[0030] Specifically, the human body sensor 112 is mounted on the housing 10, and a first sensing window 22 is provided on the top cover corresponding to the position of the human body sensor 112.

The main control board 111 is also connected to a full-drain sensor switch 113 and a half-drain sensor switch 114. After the full-drain sensor switch 113 and the half-drain sensor switch 114 are detected, the main control board 111 can control the drain valve 60 to perform full-drain and half-drain functions.
[0032] Specifically, the full-row sensor switch 113 and the half-row sensor switch 114 are mounted on the housing 10. The upper cover is provided with a second sensor window 23 and a third sensor window 24 corresponding to the positions of the full-row sensor switch 113 and the half-row sensor switch 114, respectively. The full-row sensor switch 113 can detect the human body through the second sensor window 23, and the half-row sensor switch 114 can detect the human body through the third sensor window 24. Specifically, the second sensor window 23 and the third sensor window 24 are transparent.
[0033] Furthermore, a manual push-button switch 12 is also provided on the housing 10. The manual push-button switch 12 is used to manually control the full discharge of the drain valve 60. The manual push-button switch 12 has a button 121 and an opening 25 is provided on the upper cover. The button 121 is embedded in the opening 25 so that the full discharge of the drain valve 60 can be controlled by pressing the button 121 by a human body.
[0034] Furthermore, the cover 20 is a sealing cover provided on the housing 10.
[0035] Specifically, panel 1 is installed on the wall on the side facing the human body.
[0036] Furthermore, the main control board 111 is also connected to a power supply 50, which can supply power to the backlight 30, the main control board 111, the human body sensor 112, the full row sensor switch 113, and the half row sensor switch 114.
[0037] Furthermore, the aforementioned housing 10 has a mounting cavity 11 with an opening on the surface of the housing 10, and the cover 20 is sealed and covered at the opening of the mounting cavity 11. The aforementioned main control board 111, lamp board, human body sensor 112, full row induction switch 113, and half row induction switch 114 are all disposed in the mounting cavity 11, and the observation window 21 of the cover 20 is located within the range of the mounting cavity 11, and the pattern layer 40 is specifically located between the lamp board and the observation window 21.
[0038] Specifically, the housing 10 has a mounting cavity 11 with a top opening, the cover 20 is sealed and covered on the top opening of the mounting cavity 11, the observation window 21 is located within the mounting cavity 11, the full row induction switch 113 and the half row induction switch 114 are located on the left and right sides in front of the observation window 21, the manual button switch 12 is located in the center in front of the observation window 21, and the human body sensor 112 is located between the manual button switch 12 and the half row induction switch 114.
[0039] Specifically, the pattern on the pattern layer 40 can be a colorful and aesthetically pleasing pattern, or a functional pattern that indicates and distinguishes between the full row of induction switches 113 and the half row of induction switches 114, or a combination of both. No limitation is made here. Furthermore, the cover 20 and the shell 10 of this utility model are detachable, allowing the pattern layer 40 to be replaced.
[0040] In this embodiment, a pattern layer 40 with colorful and aesthetically pleasing patterns is selected. On the left and right sides of the pattern layer 40, there are illustrations of full-drainage and half-drainage of the drain valve 60, so that users can distinguish that the left side is the full-drainage sensor switch 113 and the right side is the half-drainage sensor switch 114, for users to choose from.
[0041] Specifically, the main control board 111 can also control the mode of the light panel illuminating the pattern layer 40 to add interest and aesthetics.
[0042] The directional terms used in this specification are defined relative to the structures shown in the accompanying drawings. They are relative concepts and may therefore vary depending on their location and usage. Therefore, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive.
