Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dimming device technology, and in particular to a knob-type dimming panel. Background Technology

[0002] With technological advancements, lighting control is no longer limited to traditional switching functions. Lighting products now come equipped with dimmer switches. These switches not only enable on / off switching but also allow for adjustments to the brightness and emission status of the lights, resulting in richer lighting effects. The dimmer panel is a crucial component in lighting control switches, altering the luminous flux and adjusting illuminance levels. Its basic principle is to change the effective value of the input current to the light source to achieve dimming.

[0003] Currently, the knob of a traditional rotary dimmer is usually a single component that can only perform the single function of knob control and cannot provide users with more usage needs. It can no longer meet the growing market demands. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new dimming panel to meet market needs. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0038] The preferred embodiment of this utility model features a rotary dimming panel, such as... Figure 1-15As shown, it includes a power base 10, a dimming control board 20 disposed on the upper surface of the power base 10, a backing plate 30 disposed on the upper surface of the dimming control board 20, and a button panel 40 disposed on the upper surface of the backing plate 30; wherein, the dimming control board 20 integrates a wireless communication module (such as... Figure 9 As shown), microcontroller module (such as Figure 10 As shown), RS485 module (such as Figure 11 As shown, the microcontroller receives wireless information and controls the screen to work. At the same time, the dimming control board 20 sends the control signal to the power board in the power base through the interface circuit. In actual operation, the control panel uses a wireless module to communicate with the app and supports temperature and humidity acquisition. The microcontroller processes the received wireless information and controls the screen display and the switch. Users can customize the name and pattern of the switch through the app.

[0039] Furthermore, the upper surface of the dimming control board 20 integrates a dimming knob cylinder 50 and multiple function buttons 60. The dimming knob cylinder 50 is used to adjust the light color or light intensity, and the function buttons 60 can select the corresponding on / off light or lighting mode, such as reading mode, sleep mode, bright mode, and ambient mode. The dimming control board 20 also integrates a knob encoder module (e.g., ...) corresponding to the dimming knob cylinder 50. Figure 12 (As shown).

[0040] The button panel 40 has a pressing part 41 corresponding to the function button 60, which is used for the user to press the function button 60; both the backing plate 30 and the button panel 40 have through holes 200 for the dimming knob cylinder 50 to pass through; above the dimming knob cylinder 50, there are a support 70, a display panel 80 (usually a small color screen) and a transparent panel 140 arranged in sequence; the support 70 is located at the top of the dimming knob cylinder 50 and is detachably connected to it; the display panel 80 is electrically connected to the dimming control board 20 and is installed on the top surface of the support 70, and the transparent panel is generally made of tempered glass.

[0041] This solution uses a display panel 80 on top of the dimming knob cylinder 50 to display information such as time, weather conditions, or indoor temperature. It can not only function as a dimming switch, but also display more practical information, such as indoor temperature, weather information, and the color temperature and brightness of the lamps. The functions can be expanded to be more extensive and the practicality can be improved to meet the increasingly high practical needs of users.

[0042] In this embodiment, an outer knob sleeve 90 is detachably and coaxially provided on the outer side of the dimming knob cylinder 50. A transparent panel is located at the top of the outer knob sleeve 90 and is flush with its top surface. When assembled, the upper and lower surfaces of the display panel 80 abut against the lower surface of the transparent panel and the upper surface of the support member 70, respectively, to prevent the display panel 80 from moving up and down and to ensure stability.

[0043] In this embodiment, the support member 70 is annular and its lower surface is coaxially provided with a downwardly extending extension 71. The lower end of the extension 71 extends into the dimming knob cylinder 50 and is detachably connected to it. The connection method can be a snap-fit ​​connection, a threaded connection, or a detachable interference fit. Preferably, this solution adopts a snap-fit ​​connection. Specifically, a first protruding snap 711 that can deform inward is provided on the outer side wall of the extension 71, and a first groove 501 that matches the first protruding snap 711 is provided circumferentially on the inner side wall of the dimming knob cylinder 50. When assembled in place, the first protruding snap 711 is engaged in the first groove 501, thereby preventing the support member 70 from falling upward.

The transparent panel, the display panel 80, and the support member 70 are all disposed inside the upper end of the sleeve body 91. The upper end of the annular base 92 extends into the sleeve body 91 and is detachably connected to it. The detachable connection method can be a snap-fit ​​connection, a threaded connection, or a detachable interference fit. Preferably, this solution adopts a snap-fit ​​connection method. Specifically, a first strip groove 921 is axially provided through the outer side wall of the annular base 92. A second protruding snap 922 with an inwardly deformable upper end is longitudinally provided in the first strip groove 921.

The annular light diffuser plate 110 is coaxially located above the multiple light-emitting elements. Through the annular light diffuser plate 110, light can be projected from the gap between the inner wall of the sleeve body 91 and the base and the support member 70 onto the transparent panel to form a halo. This not only serves the purpose of decorating the appearance but also serves as a highlight, making it convenient for users to observe and find the position of the switch.

A liner 30 is detachably connected to the power supply front plate 102 and presses the power supply PCB board 103 against the bottom surface of the mounting groove 1021. Specifically, the power supply PCB board 103 includes a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) module (power control module, such as...). Figure 13 As shown), interface module (such as Figure 14 As shown), power module (such as Figure 15 (As shown); the microcontroller receives the signal from the dimming control board 20 to control the holding relay to work, and at the same time the microcontroller detects zero crossing and communicates with the dimming control board 20 through the interface circuit; furthermore, the side wall of the power supply base 101 has a wiring port 150 corresponding to the wiring terminals on the power supply PCB board 103, so as to facilitate connection with the mains cable for power supply and control during installation.

[0049] Furthermore, the power supply bottom shell 101 and the power supply front panel 102 are detachably connected. The connection method can be a snap-fit ​​connection, a threaded connection, or a detachable interference fit. Preferably, this solution adopts a snap-fit ​​connection. Specifically, the upper side wall of the power supply bottom shell 101 has an upwardly extending fourth protruding snap 1011, and the edge of the power supply front panel 102 has a fourth slot 1021 for the fourth protruding snap 1011 to be engaged. After assembly, the power supply front panel 102 and the power supply bottom shell 101 are fixed together by the fourth protruding snap and the fourth slot 1021.
