Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the home furnishing field, and more particularly to a switch panel. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the smart home industry and the demand for consumption upgrades, modern building decoration materials are becoming increasingly high-end, with materials such as metal, glass, and natural stone being widely used in upscale residences, hotels, and office buildings. However, traditional switch panels have significant shortcomings in meeting the needs of these scenarios.

[0003] Mechanical switch panels have limitations: firstly, holes need to be drilled in the panel surface to install buttons, compromising the integrity and aesthetics of the material; secondly, mechanical buttons are subject to wear and have a limited lifespan; and thirdly, function markings are mostly silkscreened or engraved, making dynamic adjustment impossible. Capacitive touch switches also have problems during use: firstly, they are susceptible to electromagnetic interference in metal environments; secondly, touch sensitivity and reliability are poor on metal substrates; and thirdly, they are sensitive to changes in environmental humidity and temperature.

[0004] Market demand analysis shows that users' needs for switch panels have evolved from basic functions to aesthetics, personalization, and other aspects. In particular, in high-end decorative scenarios, there is a need for solutions that can maintain the integrity of materials and decorative effects while achieving reliable touch control and flexible function display. Utility Model Content

[0005] This disclosure provides a switch panel.

[0006] According to one aspect of this disclosure, a switch panel is provided, comprising: a bracket; a material strip detachably fixed to the bracket and having a plurality of touch areas; a display screen assembly disposed on the bracket, comprising a number of displays equal to the number of touch areas, the displays being located outside the material strip and one-to-one with the touch areas; and a control circuit assembly disposed between the bracket and the material strip and connected to the display screen, the control circuit assembly comprising a circuit board and an inductor coil equal to the number of touch areas; the inductor coils being located inside or on the back of the material strip and one-to-one opposite to the touch areas.

[0007] According to one aspect of the technical solution of this disclosure, the switch panel senses touch signals by changing the inductance value, which solves the problem of capacitive touch being susceptible to electromagnetic interference in metal environments. This ensures that the touch signal is stable and reliable on the metal substrate and reduces the impact of environmental humidity and temperature changes on the touch signal. The material strip is detachably fixed to the bracket, and the control circuit component is set between the bracket and the material strip. Combined with the sensing of touch signals by the control circuit component, the user can control the switch panel by touching the touch area. This avoids the need to install buttons by opening holes on the panel surface, maintaining the integrity and aesthetics of the material, thereby avoiding wear and tear on mechanical buttons and extending their service life. The display screen is set one-to-one with the touch area to realize the dynamic display of touch content, solving the problem that function labels cannot be dynamically adjusted, thus meeting the needs of aesthetics, reliability, and intelligence in high-end decorative scenarios.

[0015] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the positioning plate precisely fixes the inductor coil through the positioning hole, ensuring that the inductor coil and the touch area are set one-to-one, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the sensing signal; the positioning hole is a through hole design, which facilitates installation and maintenance, avoids touch failure caused by inductor coil misalignment, and enhances the stability of the overall structure and touch consistency.

[0016] According to at least one embodiment of the switch panel of the present disclosure, the display panel assembly includes: an upper display panel assembly including a plurality of displays located above the material strip; and a lower display panel assembly including a plurality of displays located below the material strip.

[0017] According to at least one embodiment of the switch panel of the present disclosure, the material strip is provided with two rows of touch areas from top to bottom, the displays of the upper display assembly are arranged side by side and the number is the same as the number of the upper row of touch areas, and they are arranged one-to-one; the displays of the lower display assembly are arranged side by side and the number is the same as the number of the lower row of touch areas, and they are arranged one-to-one.

[0018] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the dual-row touch area and display screen design realizes the functional grouping display. The upper and lower display screens correspond to the upper and lower touch areas respectively, supporting multi-level function operation. This structure optimizes the interface layout, enabling users to more clearly identify and operate different functions, and improving the operating efficiency in complex scenarios.

[0019] According to at least one embodiment of the switch panel of this disclosure, the material strip is connected to the bracket by screws.

[0020] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the screw connection enables the material strip to be detachably fixed, which facilitates quick installation, maintenance or replacement of the material strip and extends the product's service life; at the same time, it avoids damaging the material by opening holes, maintains the visual integrity of the high-end decoration, and meets the user's dual needs for convenience and aesthetics.

[0021] According to at least one embodiment of the switch panel of this disclosure, the touch content is the switch function name corresponding to the touch area.

[0023] According to at least one embodiment of the switch panel of this disclosure, the material strip is made of metal, glass, wood or stone.

[0024] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the material strip uses high-end materials such as metal, glass, wood or stone, which are highly matched with the high-end decorative scene described in the background technology; the material selection ensures that the panel and the architectural decoration style are consistent, while the natural beauty of the material is maintained through the hole-free design, satisfying the pursuit of aesthetics and quality by high-end users.

[0032] With the rapid development of the smart home industry and the demand for consumption upgrades, modern building decoration materials are becoming increasingly high-end, with materials such as metal, glass, and natural stone widely used in high-end residences, hotels, and office buildings. Traditional switch panels have significant shortcomings in meeting the needs of these scenarios: Mechanical switch panels provide tactile feedback through mechanical buttons, display function status through a small LCD screen, and identify function names through silkscreen or laser engraving. However, they have the following problems: they require drilling holes, which would damage the integrity of the panel; mechanical parts are easily damaged; maintenance costs are high; and function names are fixed and do not support dynamic adjustment.

[0033] Capacitive touch switches typically use capacitive touch sensors to detect finger touches, use tempered glass as the panel material, and integrate LED indicators to display the switch status. However, they have some problems when in use: they are easily affected by electromagnetic interference in metal environments, are limited to glass materials, and are not suitable for other high-end materials such as metal and stone; their touch sensitivity and reliability are poor on metal substrates; they are sensitive to changes in ambient humidity and temperature; and their function indicators are simple and lack information display capabilities.

[0034] The plastic-cased smart panel integrates touch detection and display functions, supports network remote control and programmable settings, but it has the drawbacks of low material grade, making it difficult to adapt to high-end decoration scenarios, lack of personalization and diversity in appearance design, and inability to integrate with existing building decoration materials (such as metal, glass, stone, etc.).

[0035] Users' demands for switch panels have evolved from basic functions to intelligence, aesthetics, and personalization. In particular, in high-end decorative scenarios, there is a need for solutions that can maintain the integrity of materials and decorative effects while achieving reliable touch control and flexible function display.

[0036] Accordingly, this embodiment aims to provide a switch panel that can achieve reliable touch input without compromising the integrity of the material strip 200, and flexibly display and edit switch function names through the display screen 300, thereby meeting the needs of aesthetics, intelligence and personalization.

[0037] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a switch panel according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 This is a front view of a switch panel according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 This is a system block diagram of a control circuit assembly for a switch panel according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the switch panel in this embodiment includes: a bracket 100, a material strip 200, a display screen assembly, and a control circuit assembly 400.

[0039] The bracket 100 serves as the main structure and is used to fix other components.

[0040] The material strip 200 is detachably fixed to the bracket 100 and has multiple touch areas 210. These touch areas 210 are directly integrated into the material of the material strip 200 without the need for openings, thus maintaining the integrity of the material.

[0041] The display assembly is mounted on the bracket 100 and includes the same number of displays 300 as the touch areas 210. The displays 300 are located outside the material strip 200 and are set one-to-one with the touch areas 210.

[0042] The control circuit assembly 400 is disposed between the bracket 100 and the material strip 200 and is connected to the display screen 300. The control circuit assembly 400 is configured to sense the touch signal of the touch area 210 through the change of inductance value and drive the display screen 300 to display the touch content according to the touch signal.

[0043] The switch panel in the above technical solution combines inductive touch technology with a dynamic display module, solving the problems of material integrity damage, mechanical wear, and static labeling associated with traditional mechanical switches, as well as the susceptibility to electromagnetic interference, insufficient sensitivity, and environmental sensitivity of capacitive touch in metallic environments. Specifically, the material strip 200 is detachably fixed to the bracket 100, with multiple touch areas 210 integrated on its surface. This avoids the damage to material integrity caused by the openings in traditional mechanical switches, while also supporting quick replacement of different materials to suit decorative needs. The control circuit component 400 identifies touch signals by detecting changes in inductance value. Compared to capacitive touch, it has a natural advantage in resisting electromagnetic interference in metallic substrate environments and is less affected by ambient temperature and humidity, solving the problems of low sensitivity and poor reliability of capacitive touch in metallic scenarios. Each touch area 210 corresponds to an independent display screen 300, which is driven by the control circuit to achieve real-time display of touch content (such as dynamic adjustment of function labels), replacing traditional static labels such as silkscreen or engraving, and meeting the needs of high-end scenarios for personalized function display.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment of the control circuit assembly 400, the control circuit assembly 400 includes a circuit board 410 and inductors 420 in the same number as the touch areas 210. The inductors 420 are located inside or on the back of the material strip 200 and are positioned one-to-one with each touch area 210. The circuit board 410 is mounted on the bracket 100 and connected to the inductors 420 and the display screen 300. The inductors 420 detect touch signals from the touch areas 210 by changes in their inductance value and feed these signals back to the circuit board 410. The circuit board 410 is configured to control the display screen 300 corresponding to the touch area 210 to display touch content based on the touch signals. For example, the inductors 420 are embedded inside the material strip 200 or attached to the back of the material strip 200 and are positioned one-to-one with each touch area 210 to ensure accurate detection of the touch signals. The circuit board 410 is mounted on the bracket 100 and electrically connected to the inductors 420 and the display screen 300. The inductor coil 420 detects touch signals by changing its inductance value (e.g., a touch causes a change in inductance value, generating a feedback signal) and transmits this signal to the circuit board 410. The circuit board 410 controls the display screen 300 corresponding to the touch area 210 to display content based on this signal (e.g., when touch area A is touched, the corresponding display screen 300 displays "light switch"). The inductor coil 420 ensures effective capture of touch signals, avoiding the signal drift problem of capacitive touch on a metal substrate. The circuit board 410 integrates signal processing and display driving functions, reducing reliance on external components and improving system reliability. The one-to-one correspondence between the inductor coil 420 and the touch area 210 achieves precise "one touch, one display" control, while also solving the sensitivity reduction problem caused by physical wear of traditional mechanical buttons.

[0045] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the circuit board 410 includes an inductor-to-digital converter chip 411, also known as an LDC chip. The inductor-to-digital converter chip 411 is connected to the main control chip 413 and is used to monitor changes in the inductance value of the inductor coil 420 and identify the touch position and pressure. During operation, the inductor-to-digital converter chip 411 uses LDC technology to detect changes in inductance value through multiple inductor coils 420 arranged inside the material strip 200, identifying the touch position and pressure. The main control chip 413 drives the corresponding display screen 300 to display the touch content based on the touch position. This inductive touch detection method enables reliable detection on the material strip 200, whether made of metal or non-metal. The inductor-to-digital converter chip 411 achieves high-precision identification of the touch position and pressure sensing function by digitally processing changes in inductance value. Compared to traditional capacitive chips, this chip has stronger anti-interference capabilities in metallic environments and is insensitive to changes in temperature and humidity, solving the sensitivity fluctuation problem of capacitive touch in high-end decorative scenarios.

[0046] The LDC, short for Inductive-to-Digital Converter, excites an LC circuit consisting of a coil and a capacitor to resonate, creating a high-frequency electromagnetic field around the coil. This electromagnetic field induces eddy currents in a target metal object near the coil. In this embodiment, the LDC chip continuously monitors the inductance of each coil. When a finger approaches or touches the surface of the material strip 200, it changes the electromagnetic field around the coil, causing a change in inductance. The LDC chip detects this change and determines the touch position. The main control chip 413 of the control circuit component 400 processes the signal and executes the corresponding switch control command. The advantages of this touch detection scheme are that it is unaffected by the conductivity of the material, applicable to both metallic and non-metallic materials, has strong anti-electromagnetic interference capabilities, high detection accuracy, supports multi-touch, and has low power consumption and fast response speed.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, exemplarily, circuit board 410 includes a screen driver chip 412, which drives display screen 300 to display touch content. The integration of screen driver chip 412 enables fast refresh and low-latency response of the displayed content. Through its collaboration with inductor-to-digital converter chip 411, it ensures seamless conversion of touch signals to displayed content, avoiding the lag in operation feedback caused by signal delays in traditional mechanical switches. Screen driver chip 412 works in conjunction with display screen 300, supporting Chinese and English display and icon display. Function names can be edited via configuration software, and different brightness and color modes are also supported.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, for example, the circuit board 410 also includes a communication module 414, which is connected to the main control chip 413 and communicates with external devices via Wifi / Zigbee / Bluetooth or other means, so that users can connect to and control the switch panel through external devices.

[0049] The above configuration enables the control circuit assembly 400 to integrate touch detection, display driving, and communication functions, allowing the switch panel to form a multi-unit switch panel, i.e., an integrated switch panel containing multiple independent control units. Simultaneously, the control circuit assembly 400 enables the switch panel to have a programmable display, forming a display system that supports modification of the displayed content through software configuration.

[0050] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment of the inductor coil 420, the switch panel further includes a positioning plate 500 disposed between the bracket 100 and the material strip 200. The positioning plate 500 can be a plastic plate and is fixed to the bracket 100 by means of adhesive bonding, snap-fit ​​connection, etc. The positioning plate 500 is provided with positioning holes 510, which are through holes, and the number of positioning holes 510 is the same as the number of inductor coils 420. Each inductor coil 420 is respectively confined within its respective positioning hole 510. The introduction of the positioning plate 500 solves the problem of positional misalignment of the inductor coils 420 during installation, ensuring precise alignment of each inductor coil 420 with its corresponding touch area 210. The through-hole design of the positioning holes 510 facilitates heat dissipation and signal transmission of the inductor coils 420, improving the long-term stability of the system. This design is particularly suitable for high-end scenarios with metal material strips 200, avoiding the problem of decreased touch sensitivity caused by installation errors.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, exemplarily, the display assembly includes an upper display assembly and a lower display assembly. The upper display assembly includes multiple displays 300 located above the material strip 200, and the lower display assembly includes multiple displays 300 located below the material strip 200. This upper and lower layered design of the display assembly realizes a spatial three-dimensional interactive interface. The upper and lower display assemblies correspond to the touch areas 210 above and below the material strip 200, respectively, expanding the display dimension of functional icons through the dual-layer display structure. Compared to a single-layer display solution, this design can support more complex operating logic (such as dual rows of touch areas 210 controlling different devices), while avoiding the icon crowding problem caused by a small single-layer display area, thus balancing aesthetics and functionality in high-end decorative scenarios.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, the material strip 200 further comprises two rows of touch areas 210 arranged from top to bottom. The displays 300 of the upper display assembly are arranged side by side, with the same number as the upper row of touch areas 210, and are configured one-to-one. Similarly, the displays 300 of the lower display assembly are arranged side by side, with the same number as the lower row of touch areas 210, and are configured one-to-one. The correspondence between the dual rows of touch areas 210 and the dual-layer display 300 enables precise "one touch, one display" control. The correspondence between the upper row of touch areas 210 and the upper display assembly ensures a high degree of alignment between the user's line of sight and the displayed content during operation. The same applies to the lower row. This solves the operational efficiency problem of traditional single-row touch panels in complex operating scenarios, and is especially suitable for scenarios with centralized control of multiple devices, such as hotel lobbies and conference rooms. By implementing zoned operation, the probability of accidental touches is reduced, and the reliability of interaction is improved.

[0053] like Figure 2As shown, for example, the front of the switch panel is configured as follows: the upper display panel assembly includes 3-6 independent display panels 300, located at the top of the panel; the material strip 200 is an integral decorative strip located in the middle of the switch panel, keeping the surface intact and without holes; the lower display panel assembly includes 3-6 independent display panels 300, located at the bottom of the switch panel.

[0054] In this embodiment, the touch content can be the name of a switch function corresponding to the touch area 210, such as "main light," "ambient light," or "curtains." The switch function names are programmable and configured within the control circuit assembly 400. The design of dynamically displaying switch function names enables real-time adjustability of function identifiers. Compared to traditional static identifiers such as silkscreen printing or engraving, this solution can dynamically update the displayed content according to user needs, avoiding panel replacement costs due to function adjustments. In smart home scenarios, this design is particularly suitable for scenarios requiring frequent switching of operating modes (such as adjusting hotel room lighting), enhancing the flexibility of the user experience.

[0055] The aforementioned display screen 300 can be configured as needed. For example, the size of a single display screen 300 is 20-40mm × 10-20mm; the resolution is 128×64 pixels or higher; the display technology is OLED or e-ink screen; and the communication interface is I2C or SPI. The display functions of the display screen 300 include: real-time display of the current on / off status (on / off / dimming percentage, etc.); display of custom function names (such as "main light", "ambient light", "curtains", etc.); support for multilingual display; and support for combined display of icons and text.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the material strip 200 can be detachably mounted on the frame in the following way: the material strip 200 is connected to the bracket 100 by screws 600. The screw connection method enables the detachable fixing of the material strip 200 to the bracket 100. Compared to snap-fit ​​or adhesive solutions, the screw connection offers stronger mechanical stability, can withstand the weight of high-end materials (such as metal and stone), and facilitates quick disassembly and replacement of the material strip 200 during later maintenance. This design solves the structural loosening problem caused by frequent disassembly of traditional mechanical switches, extending the overall service life of the device.

[0057] According to at least one embodiment of the switch panel disclosed herein, the material strip 200 is made of metal, glass, wood, or stone. This multi-material support design expands the decorative adaptability of the switch panel. For example, metal can suit the sophisticated, cool-toned environment of high-end office buildings, glass can meet the need for transparency in modern homes, wood can suit warm-toned home environments, and stone can meet the need for natural textures in villas. This solves the problem of limited decorative styles caused by material restrictions in traditional switch panels, achieving seamless integration with architectural decorative styles through the material selection of the material strip 200, thus enhancing the overall aesthetic harmony of the space.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, for example, the switch panel also includes a power supply 700 for powering components such as the control circuit assembly 400 and the display screen 300.

[0059] In summary, compared with existing technologies, the switch panel in the above technical solution mainly solves the following technical problems: First, the material compatibility problem: Existing touch switches are mostly made of plastic or glass panels, making it difficult to achieve touch control on high-end decorative materials such as metal, stone, and wood. This embodiment proposes an inductive detection and control scheme that adapts to multiple materials, enabling stable touch control in different decorative material environments. Second, the reliability problem: Under metal panels, traditional capacitive touch control is easily shielded and interfered with, leading to decreased touch sensitivity or false touches. The switch panel in this embodiment achieves stable and reliable touch detection in metal environments through inductive detection technology. Third, the aesthetic problem: Traditional touch control solutions often require openings or cutouts in the panel, which destroys the overall decorative effect. The switch panel in this embodiment can use a complete metal strip as a surface decorative part, integrating an inductor coil 420 as a touch sensing unit on its back, achieving invisible touch control without openings or cuts, maintaining material integrity and an integrated appearance. Fourth, the flexibility problem: Existing mechanical switches have fixed functions and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to changes in scenarios. This embodiment of the switch panel features displays 300 above and below a metal strip, dynamically displaying the function names corresponding to each touch area 210. A communication module 414 allows users to personalize the display via a mobile app or system interface, modifying the displayed content through software configuration, creating a programmable display system with enhanced interactive experience and user freedom. Fifthly, there's the issue of applicability: existing switch solutions in high-end residences, hotels, and offices often suffer from limited functionality and mismatch with overall décor. This embodiment's switch panel provides a highly compatible, aesthetically pleasing, and intelligent solution, meeting the dual demands of decoration and functionality in high-end settings. Through these improvements, this embodiment's switch panel not only achieves the complete aesthetic effect of a metal strip panel but also ensures stable touch operation and flexible intelligent interaction, demonstrating broad application prospects.
