Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a protective structure, specifically a control panel with a protective structure, belonging to the field of smart home technology. Background Technology

[0002] Smart home technology uses the residence as a platform, integrating facilities related to home life through comprehensive wiring, network communication, security, automatic control, and audio-visual technologies to build an efficient management system for residential facilities and daily household affairs. The control panel is the core interactive entry point in a smart home, possessing functions such as control, management, and linkage. Control panels typically use LCD screens as their main component; however, LCD screens are relatively fragile, thus requiring protective structures to safeguard them.

[0003] According to patent CN218336803U, a protective structure for a home control panel is disclosed, including a control panel body; a protective component, which is disposed on the control panel body. The protective component includes a protective cover, a sealing plate slidably connected to the protective cover, a limiting frame for limiting the sealing plate is fixedly installed on the control panel body, and a water storage tank is fixedly installed on the control panel body.

[0004] The above-mentioned solution can move downwards via a lifting rod to seal the protective cover with a sealing plate. However, when facing protruding control panels, to ensure the protective plate can slide outside the panel, one end of the protective plate is often required to be unobstructed. This design lacks sealing, allowing dust to enter the interior of the protective plate through the unobstructed end, contaminating the control panel and reducing the protective effect of the structure. Therefore, we provide a control panel with a protective structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a control panel with a protective structure to solve the above-mentioned problems, thereby addressing the issue that it is inconvenient to fully seal the panel when protecting it by sliding in the prior art.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a control panel with a protective structure, including a mounting plate, on the outside of which the control panel is fixedly mounted, a protective plate is slidably connected to the outer surface of the mounting plate, a sealing plate is rotatably mounted inside the mounting plate, a limit block is slidably connected to the outer surface of the mounting plate, a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting plate, and a transmission mechanism is provided at both ends of the rotating rod. The transmission mechanism includes a limit groove formed on the surface of the mounting plate, and a sliding block is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the protective plate, the sliding block sliding inside the limit groove.

[0007] Preferably, a rack is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sliding block, and a gear is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod. The gear meshes with the rack, and the rack drives the gear to rotate.

[0008] Preferably, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod, and the fixing block is fixedly connected to the sealing plate. The rotation of the rotating rod can drive the sealing plate to rotate through the fixing block.

[0009] Preferably, a coiled spring is sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod, and the two ends of the coiled spring are fixedly connected to the mounting plate and the fixing block, respectively. The coiled spring provides resistance and support for the rotation and stability of the rotating rod.

[0010] Preferably, the outer surface of the mounting plate is provided with a storage groove, and the sealing plate rotates inside the storage groove, which is used to store the sealing plate.

[0011] Preferably, an unlocking button is slidably connected inside the mounting plate, and a straight connecting rod is provided between the limiting block and the unlocking button. The two ends of the straight connecting rod are fixedly connected to the limiting block and the unlocking button, respectively. The unlocking button is used to cancel the limiting block's restriction on the protective plate.

[0012] Preferably, a telescopic spring is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of both the limiting block and the unlocking button, and each telescopic spring is fixedly connected to the mounting plate. The telescopic spring provides support for the reset of the limiting block and the unlocking button.

[0013] This utility model provides a control panel with a protective structure, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This application, by setting up components such as a protective plate, a sealing plate, a rotating rod, and a transmission mechanism, greatly facilitates the opening and closing of the protective structure by the user. It can also use the reset of the protective plate to drive the rotation of the sealing plate, so that the sealing plate fits against the bottom of the protective plate. This ensures that the device can provide all-round shielding and protection for the control panel, preventing dust and other impurities from entering the interior of the protective plate through the protective gap and causing contamination to the control panel, thereby improving the protective effect of the device and extending the service life of the control panel.

[0015] 2. This application incorporates components such as limit blocks, unlocking buttons, straight connecting rods, and telescopic springs. The surface of the limit blocks is curved, which facilitates the sliding of the protective plate and provides support for it, preventing the protective plate from falling off during operation of the control panel and affecting its use. The unlocking button allows workers to quickly close the protective structure, improving the ease of use of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0025] This utility model embodiment provides a control panel with a protective structure.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The system includes a mounting plate 1, which supports the installation of the control panel 2, facilitating the interaction between the control panel 2 and the smart home control system via wireless or wired signals. The structural components shown in the accompanying drawings are illustrative examples. The specific implementation should be adapted and optimized based on the functional requirements, assembly conditions, and process limitations in the actual application scenario, taking into account the structural parameters, dimensions, and connection methods.

[0027] Please see Figure 2 The control panel 2 is fixedly installed on the outside of the mounting plate 1. The control panel 2 allows users to centrally manage multiple devices such as smart home lighting, temperature control, security, and audio-visual equipment. It has functions such as centralized control, scene linkage, remote voice interaction, energy efficiency and safety management, which can effectively improve home control efficiency and intelligent experience, and improve the convenience of using smart homes.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4A protective plate 3 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the mounting plate 1, and a sealing plate 4 is rotatably installed inside the mounting plate 1. The interior of the protective plate 3 is hollow, which can shield and protect the control panel 2, and facilitate the user to open the protective plate 3 when using the control panel 2. The sealing plate 4 can automatically rotate according to the sliding of the protective plate 3, thereby forming a comprehensive sealing protection effect for the control panel 2 with the protective plate 3, improving the protection effect of the control panel 2, reducing the probability of dust and other impurities entering the interior of the protection, and improving the protection effect of the control panel 2.

[0029] The outer surface of the mounting plate 1 is provided with a storage groove 8. The sealing plate 4 rotates inside the storage groove 8. The storage groove 8 is used to store the sealing plate 4, so that when the protective plate 3 slides up and removes the protection of the control panel 2, the sealing plate 4 can be automatically stored in the storage groove 8, so as to avoid the sealing plate 4 affecting the user's operation of the control panel 2. At the same time, when the protective plate 3 is lowered to block the control panel 2, it can also automatically rotate out, thereby sealing the bottom of the protective plate 3 and ensuring the overall sealing performance of the device.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A limit block 5 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the mounting plate 1, and an unlocking button 9 is slidably connected inside the mounting plate 1. A straight connecting rod 10 is provided between the limit block 5 and the unlocking button 9. The end of the limit block 5 has a certain arc-shaped sliding surface. When the user wants to operate the control panel 2, the protective plate 3 is first slid upward. When the protective plate 3 slides to contact the limit block 5, the top of the protective plate 3 will squeeze the limit block 5, causing the limit block 5 to retract into the mounting plate 1. After the protective plate 3 continues to rise to the highest position, the limit block 5 will be reset under the action of the telescopic spring 11, thereby restricting the protective plate 3 and ensuring that the protective plate 3 is stably opened, making it convenient for the user to operate the control panel 2.

[0031] Both ends of the straight connecting rod 10 are fixedly connected to the limiting block 5 and the unlocking button 9, respectively. The bottom surfaces of the limiting block 5 and the unlocking button 9 are fixedly connected to the telescopic springs 11. Each telescopic spring 11 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 1. The telescopic springs 11 provide sufficient elastic force to the limiting block 5, so that the limiting block 5 can stably limit and support the protective plate 3. When the operator completes the operation, he only needs to press the unlocking button 9. The force on the unlocking button 9 drives the limiting block 5 to retract into the interior of the mounting plate 1 through the straight connecting rod 10, thereby canceling the limitation of the limiting block 5 on the protective plate 3. At this time, the protective plate 3 will fall under the action of gravity, thereby blocking the outside of the control panel 2 again, preventing the control panel 2 from being damaged by external damage, reducing dust pollution to the control panel 2, and extending the service life of the control panel 2.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The mounting plate 1 is internally connected to a rotating rod 6, and both ends of the rotating rod 6 are equipped with transmission mechanisms 7. The rotating rod 6 provides support and fulcrum for the rotation of the sealing plate 4, allowing the sealing plate 4 to rotate on its own according to the sliding of the protective plate 3. The transmission mechanism 7 can drive the rotating rod 6 to rotate during the reset process of the protective plate 3, so that the sealing plate 4 fits against the bottom of the protective plate 3, ensuring that the device can provide all-round shielding and protection for the control panel 2, preventing dust and other impurities from entering the interior of the protective plate 3 through the protective gap and causing contamination to the control panel 2, improving the protective effect of the device, and extending the service life of the control panel 2.

[0033] The transmission mechanism 7 includes a limiting groove 701 formed on the surface of the mounting plate 1. A sliding block 702 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the protective plate 3. The sliding block 702 slides inside the limiting groove 701. Both the limiting groove 701 and the sliding block 702 are T-shaped designs, which can effectively improve the stability of the protective plate 3 sliding on the surface of the mounting plate 1, facilitate the opening and closing of the protective plate 3 by the user, and reduce the difficulty of operating the protective structure.

[0034] A rack 703 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sliding block 702, and a gear 704 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 6. The gear 704 meshes with the rack 703. When the protective plate 3 descends to a certain position, the rack 703 will mesh with the gear 704. At this time, the rack 703 will drive the gear 704 to rotate as the protective plate 3 continues to descend. The rotation of the gear 704 can drive the rotating rod 6 to rotate, thereby rotating the sealing plate 4 out of the storage groove 8, so that the sealing plate 4 can fit against the bottom of the protective plate 3.

[0035] A fixing block 705 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 6. The fixing block 705 is fixedly connected to the sealing plate 4. The rotation of the rotating rod 6 can drive the sealing plate 4 to rotate inside the receiving groove 8 through the fixing block 705, providing power for the self-adjustment of the position of the sealing plate 4. When the rotating rod 6 rotates, the coil spring 706 will be compressed and deformed, thereby giving the rotating rod 6 a resistance. This resistance will continue to increase as the protective plate 3 continues to descend, so that the protective plate 3 can be buffered when it returns to its original position by gravity, reducing the impact force between the protective plate 3 and the mounting plate 1 or the sealing plate 4.

[0036] A coil spring 706 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod 6. The two ends of the coil spring 706 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 1 and the fixing block 705, respectively. The elastic potential energy of the coil spring 706 is within a certain range. It must be less than the weight of the protective plate 3 so that the rack 703 can drive the gear 704 to rotate when the protective plate 3 is lowered, and greater than the weight of the sealing plate 4 so that the coil spring 706 can provide elastic force to the sealing plate 4. When the protective plate 3 is opened, the coil spring 706 can drive the rotating rod 6 to rotate and reset, thereby stably storing the sealing plate 4 in the storage groove 8.

[0037] Working principle: When the user wants to open the protective plate 3 to operate the control panel 2, they should first gently push the protective plate 3 upwards so that the top of the protective plate 3 slides to its highest position to fully expose the control panel 2. When the protective plate 3 slides upwards, the limiting block 5 will be squeezed and reset after the protective plate 3 is in place, forming a locking and support for the protective plate 3. When the protective plate 3 slides upwards, it drives the rack 703 to move upwards, and the rack 703 pulls the gear 704 to rotate, thereby driving the sealing plate 4 to rotate and store the sealing plate 4 into the storage slot 8. After the user has finished operating, they can press the unlock button 9. When the protective structure is closed, the force applied to the unlock button 9 can cause the limit block 5 to slide through the straight connecting rod 10, thereby removing the support of the limit block 5 for the protective plate 3. At this time, the protective plate 3 will fall downward under the action of gravity. When the protective plate 3 falls to a certain position, the rack 703 will mesh with the gear 704 again, thereby pushing the gear 704 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 704 can drive the sealing plate 4 to rotate through the rotating rod 6, thereby rotating the sealing plate 4 out of the storage groove 8, so that the top surface of the sealing plate 4 is in contact with the bottom surface of the protective plate 3, thereby completing the sealing of the control panel 2 and protecting the control panel 2 from damage.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
