Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an improvement on the interactive part of a timed swing arm switch. Background Technology
[0002] Our company previously produced a timed swing arm switch with patent number ZL202421842700.0, which includes a housing, an LCD screen disposed at the front of the housing, and a power supply module, a control module, and an execution module disposed within the housing. The control module includes at least a control board electrically connected to the display screen and the execution module. The control board is provided with a timer module. The execution module includes a motor and a swing arm driven to rotate by the motor. One end of the swing arm is provided with a connector, which is fixed to the switch to be operated. The swing arm actuates the switch in a first direction and actuates the switch in a second direction through the connector.
[0003] Because these timed swing arm switches are operated using ordinary buttons, when the environment in which the timed swing arm switch is used is relatively humid, water can easily seep into the circuit board after entering the button area, causing a circuit break. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of current timed swing arm switch circuits that are prone to circuit breakage, this utility model provides a touch-sensitive timed swing arm switch.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a touch-sensitive timed swing arm switch, including a housing, a power supply module and an execution module are provided inside the housing, the circuit control board module is located at the front end of the power supply module and the execution module and is electrically connected to both, the front end of the housing is provided with a whole panel, the circuit control board module includes a PCB board, the front side of the PCB board is integrated with a touch unit, the panel is provided with a touch area, and the touch unit can be controlled through the panel in the touch area.
[0006] For easy identification, the touch area is marked.
[0007] A preferred embodiment of the label is one that is easy to touch, wherein the label is raised on the touch area.
[0008] To facilitate the positioning of the touch unit, a fixing edge for fixing the touch unit is provided on the back of the panel.
[0009] For convenient nighttime use, the touch unit has an LED bulb.
[0010] To further enhance the indication function, the panel is provided with several light-transmitting points, each with a corresponding timing mark at its upper end. The PCB board is provided with corresponding LED indicator lights at the rear end of the light-transmitting points, which facilitates the provision of timing information.
[0011] In one preferred embodiment, two touch units are provided, and the panel has a first touch area and a second touch area corresponding to the two touch units. This allows for the use of two sets of control logic, operating using the first touch area and the second touch area respectively.
[0012] Further enhancing waterproofing and improving the feel, it also includes a silicone sleeve that encloses the panel, including the face and surrounding edges.
[0013] To increase the sensitivity of touch feedback, the silicone sleeve has a first recessed area and a second recessed area on its face corresponding to the first touch area and the second touch area.
[0014] For ease of touch, the silicone sleeve has indicative marking protrusions on the first and second recessed areas.
[0015] The present invention differs from the existing timed swing arm switch in that the panel is fully enclosed, the circuit control board module uses a touch unit, it is more waterproof and dustproof, and the number of parts is greatly reduced, making assembly simpler.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. By replacing buttons with touch units, the fully enclosed panel design provides basic waterproof protection for the timer switch from a structural perspective. It isolates the internal electronic components of the timer switch from the external environment, preventing the timer switch from being affected by splashes of water, steam, etc., effectively preventing water intrusion. The silicone sleeve on the panel further enhances this protective effect, giving this timer swing arm switch excellent waterproof and dustproof performance. 2. The touch-sensitive design abandons traditional mechanical buttons. Users only need to lightly touch the corresponding area on the panel, making the panel more aesthetically pleasing with a modern design. 3. The silicone sleeve on the panel improves the user experience. The silicone material is soft and smooth, making it very comfortable to touch and providing users with a good tactile experience.

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] Combined with appendix Figures 1 to 4 A touch-sensitive timed swing arm switch includes a housing 1, a power supply module 2 and an execution module 3 inside the housing 1, a circuit control board module 4 located at the front end of the power supply module 2 and the execution module 3 and electrically connected to both, a single panel 5 at the front end of the housing 1, the circuit control board module 4 including a PCB board 6, a touch unit 7 integrated on the front side of the PCB board 6, a touch area 8 on the panel 5, and the touch unit 7 can be controlled through the panel 5 in the touch area 8.
[0027] To facilitate the positioning of the touch unit 7, a fixing edge 9 for fixing the touch unit 7 is provided on the back of the panel 5.
[0028] To further enhance the indication function, the panel 5 is provided with several light-transmitting points 10, and the upper end of each light-transmitting point is provided with a corresponding timing mark 11. The PCB board 6 is provided with a corresponding LED indicator 12 at the rear end of the light-transmitting points 10, which can conveniently provide the timing time.
[0029] This embodiment is similar to the existing timed swing arm switch in use, except that the panel 5 is fully enclosed, the circuit control board module 4 uses a touch unit 7, which is more waterproof and dustproof, and the number of parts is greatly reduced, making assembly simpler.
