[0020] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0021] The control panel with panel switching function of an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model embodiment proposes a control panel with panel switching function, including: a lower shell 5, a main panel 1 and a spare panel 13. The lower shell 5 has a cavity inside, and a strip-shaped opening on the side of the cavity. Sliding grooves 8 are provided on both sides of the cavity, and the sliding grooves 8 are located on both sides of the strip-shaped opening. The main panel 1 is detachably connected to the upper end of the lower shell 5, and a transparent protective cover 15 can be opened and closed above the main panel 1. The spare panel 13 is located in the cavity and below the main panel 1. The spare panel 13 can be pulled out and connected to the strip-shaped opening of the lower shell 5. The two sides of the spare panel 13 are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 8. The thickness of the spare panel 13 is less than the width of the strip-shaped opening.

[0023] This utility model embodiment sets up a spare panel 13, which is set independently from the main panel 1. It can be quickly slid out and activated by the slide groove 8, ensuring that the equipment does not stop in an emergency and avoiding safety accidents or production losses caused by control interface failure.

[0024] The lower shell 5 is detachably connected to the main panel 1, facilitating the installation, maintenance, and replacement of internal components. A sliding groove 8 allows the spare panel 13 to be hidden inside the lower shell 5 when not in use, and to be easily pulled outwards when needed, exposing the spare button 11 for immediate control, preventing equipment downtime. A transparent protective cover 15 prevents dust and liquids from directly contacting the main panel 1, protecting it from damage by foreign objects, while maintaining visibility of the main panel 1. Problems can be located without opening the cover. Furthermore, the transparent cover 15 covers the button area, requiring manual opening for operation, reducing accidental activation and making it suitable for high-vibration, dusty environments such as industrial sites.

[0025] Furthermore, the transparent protective cover 15 is connected to the main panel 1 via a hinge.

[0026] Furthermore, the transparent protective cover 15 is made of a wear-resistant and light-transmitting material. This prevents the display screen 3 on the main panel 1 from becoming blurry, ensuring the accuracy of information reading.

[0027] Furthermore, the transparent protective cover 15 adopts an anti-glare and anti-fog design, maintaining clarity even in strong light or humid environments, thus improving operational accuracy.

[0028] In some embodiments, the spare panel 13 is provided with a limiting member for limiting the distance the spare panel 13 is pulled outward from the lower housing 5.

[0029] In some embodiments, a handle 10 is fixedly connected to the spare panel 13, and the handle 10 is located outside the strip-shaped opening. This facilitates the pulling out of the spare panel 13.

[0030] In some embodiments, slots 6 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the upper end of the lower shell 5, and inserts 7 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower end of the main panel 1, with the inserts 7 and slots 6 sealed together. This prevents liquids, dust, and other impurities from entering the interior of the control panel. This makes the control panel suitable for harsh environments such as humid and dusty conditions, extends its service life, avoids short circuits or malfunctions caused by foreign objects entering the internal circuitry, and ensures long-term stable operation of the control panel.

[0031] Furthermore, the outer side of the insert 7 is covered with a rubber layer, which can further improve the sealing performance when it is inserted into the slot 6.

[0032] In some embodiments, the lower shell 5 and the main panel 1 are fixedly connected to the corners of the edges with cushioning corner protectors 14. The elastic cushioning can reduce the impact force during collisions or drops.

[0033] Furthermore, the cushioning corner protectors 14 are made of rubber.

[0034] In some embodiments, a frame 9 is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the spare panel 13, the two sides of the frame 9 are slidably connected to the slide groove 8, and the handle 10 is fixedly connected to the frame 9.

[0035] In some embodiments, the limiting member is a strip baffle, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the frame 9 and is located on the side opposite to the handle 10. When the spare panel 13 is pulled outward to the limiting distance, the strip baffle abuts against the inner side of the strip opening, and the strip baffle blocks the inner side of the strip opening, preventing the spare panel 13 from moving further outward and falling.

[0036] In some embodiments, the main panel 1 is adapted to install control buttons 2, display screen 3 and indicator lights 4, the spare panel 13 is adapted to install spare buttons 11, the cavity is adapted to install controller 12 and wires, the main panel 1 and the spare panel 13 are respectively connected to circuit boards, and the circuit boards and controller 12 are connected by wires.

[0037] The main panel 1 serves as the core carrier, integrating control buttons 2, a display screen 3, and indicator lights 4 to form a human-machine interface. Control buttons 2 receive user input commands, the display screen 3 provides real-time feedback on system status or parameters, and indicator lights 4 indicate the device's operating mode or abnormal conditions through changes in light, such as color and flashing frequency. The space formed by the lower shell 5 connected to the main panel 1 provides installation space and physical support for internal circuitry such as the motherboard, circuit boards, and controller 12.

[0038] Furthermore, each of the control button 2, display screen 3, indicator light 4 and spare button 11 has one or more, wherein the number of control buttons 2 and spare buttons 11 are equal and their functions are the same.

[0039] When in use, press control button 2. The signal is transmitted to controller 12 through the internal circuit. Controller 12 interprets the command, controls the operation of the equipment, and feeds back the status data to display screen 3 and indicator light 4. Display screen 3 displays parameters such as temperature and pressure in real time, and indicator light 4 indicates the operating mode such as standby, running, and alarm by flashing colors.

[0040] When the controller 12 detects an abnormal signal from the control button 2, such as no response or erroneous command, it triggers the fault alarm indicator 4 to flash red. The operator pulls the handle 10 of the backup panel 13, and the backup panel 13 slides out along the slide rail 8, revealing the backup button 11. The command is resent through the backup button 11, and the controller 12 automatically switches to the backup control channel to maintain equipment operation.
