Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical technology, specifically to a humidity sensing switch. Background Technology

[0002] Existing humidity sensor switches use an external decorative panel primarily to protect internal metal terminals and conductive components, preventing direct contact with the human body or metal objects and thus avoiding electric shock. However, this design leads to a cumbersome parameter adjustment process: users must remove the decorative panel and then the sensor cover to adjust operating parameters such as mode and time. Essentially, both the decorative panel and sensor cover need to be removed before operation, and then reinstalled afterward. This entire process is not only complex but also requires a certain level of user skill during disassembly. Otherwise, forceful disassembly can easily break the clips, affecting the overall protection level of the humidity sensor switch and significantly reducing the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is how to reduce the difficulty of disassembly and assembly and improve the convenience of parameter adjustment. This utility model provides a humidity sensing switch, comprising: main body; A panel, located above the main body, is provided with a first through hole; A sensor cover has a positioning structure between one side of the sensor cover and the main body, and the other side of the sensor cover abuts against the inner wall of the first through hole. The top surface of the sensor cover extends beyond the top surface of the panel, and a driving part is provided on the portion of the other side of the sensor cover that extends beyond the top surface of the panel. The driving part is used to pry up the sensor cover.

[0004] With this structure, the sensor cover is positioned on one side and abutted against the lower end of the other side, thus fixing the sensor cover in place. Then, the operator can use the drive unit to lift one side of the sensor cover, allowing the sensor cover to be removed. At this point, the operator can adjust the sensor. This structure makes disassembly and installation simple and adjustment more convenient.

[0005] The sensor cover has a first groove on the other side that extends beyond the top surface of the panel, and the first groove is the drive unit.

[0006] This utility model provides a humidity sensing switch that employs a first groove to create a concave effect. When the sensor cover needs to be removed, the operator inserts their finger into the first groove, generating a driving force that causes one side of the sensor cover to lift up, ultimately achieving the removal effect. Alternatively, a handle extending outwards can also be used to achieve the lifting effect, but this structure is less aesthetically pleasing than the former.

[0007] The main body includes a base and a middle seat. The base and the middle seat cooperate to form a receiving cavity. A circuit board is fixed in the receiving cavity. The circuit board is provided with two adjustment switches. The middle seat is provided with several third through holes and two fourth through holes. The adjustment switches extend through the corresponding fourth through holes to the bottom of the sensor cover.

[0008] This utility model provides a humidity sensing switch, which forms a built-in circuit board through the middle seat. The humidity sensor on the circuit board can sense through the third through hole and the first through hole, and the fourth through hole is used for adjusting the switch. When the operator opens the sensor cover, he can operate the adjustment switch. One of the adjustment switches can control the time, and the other adjustment switch can control the temperature threshold.

[0009] The middle seat is provided with a protrusion, and the third through hole and the fourth through hole are both provided on the protrusion.

[0010] The present invention provides a humidity sensing switch, the protrusion of which raises the height of the circuit board, making operation more convenient.

[0011] It also includes a button cover, which cooperates with the main body to form a positioning groove, and a positioning support foot is provided on one side of the sensor cover, which cooperates with the positioning groove.

[0012] The present invention provides a humidity sensing switch, and the setting of the positioning groove better achieves the positioning and fixing effect of the sensor cover.

[0013] The sensor cover has a second groove and a second protrusion on the side facing the button cover, and the button cover has a third groove and a third protrusion on the side facing the sensor cover. The second groove and the third groove are connected, and the second protrusion and the third protrusion abut against each other.

[0014] The present invention provides a humidity sensing switch, wherein the sensor cover and the button cover have a reduced contact area, making the button cover smoother to press during the pressing process, avoiding the pressing action jamming, and the button cover has a lighter pressing feel; secondly, the third groove of the button cover can reduce raw materials and reduce costs.

[0015] An elastic element is provided between the button cover and the main body.

[0016] This utility model provides a humidity sensing switch. The elastic element creates a reset effect for the button cover. It also fills the gap between the button cover and the tactile switch on the circuit board, ensuring the button cover and sensor cover are at the same height, thus improving the tactile feel of the button cover.

[0017] One of the sensor cover and the main body is provided with a positioning post, and the other of the sensor cover and the main body is provided with a positioning hole that cooperates with the positioning post.

[0018] The present invention provides a humidity sensing switch in which the positioning post and positioning hole cooperate to better connect and fix the sensor cover and the main body, and play a guiding role.

[0019] It also includes a grounding frame and a grounding wire, the grounding frame being located between the main body and the panel, and the grounding wire being riveted to the grounding frame.

[0020] The grounding frame is provided with a boss, and the grounding wire is provided with a fourth through hole. The fourth through hole is sleeved on the boss, and the boss is riveted to fix the grounding wire to the grounding frame.

[0021] The present invention provides a humidity sensing switch, which uses a boss for riveting to better achieve the connection and fixation between the grounding wire and the grounding frame. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0029] Example 1 This embodiment provides a humidity sensing switch, as shown in the attached figure. Figures 1-8 As shown, it includes: Main body 11.

[0030] Panel 12 is located above the main body 11 and is connected and fixed to the main body 11. Panel 12 is provided with a first through hole 121. When panel 12 is engaged with the main body 11, part of the main body 11 is exposed along the direction of the first through hole 121, that is, part of the main body 11 can be seen through panel 12.

[0031] The sensor cover 13 has a positioning structure between one side and the main body 11, and the other side of the sensor cover 13 abuts against the inner wall of the first through hole 121, thus fixing the sensor cover 13. After fixing, the top surface of the sensor cover 13 extends beyond the top surface of the panel 12, meaning that from a height perspective, the top surface of the sensor cover 13 is higher than the top surface of the panel 12, creating a height difference between them. A driving part is provided on the portion of the sensor cover 13 that extends beyond the top surface of the panel 12. The driving part is used to pry up the sensor cover 13. It should be noted that the lower part of the driving part abuts against the inner wall of the first through hole 121. When the driving part moves upward, the lower part of the driving part releases its abutment against the inner wall of the first through hole 121, creating a one-sided prying effect. Then, by tilting and moving the sensor cover 13, the positioning on the positioning side can be released, ultimately achieving the disassembly of the sensor cover 13. With this structure, the sensor cover 13 is positioned on one side and abutted against the lower end of the other side, thus fixing the sensor cover 13. Then, the operator can operate the drive unit to lift one side of the sensor cover 13, thus removing the sensor cover 13. At this time, the operator can adjust the sensor. This structure is simple to disassemble and install, and more convenient to adjust.

[0032] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 1-7As shown, a first groove 131 is provided on the other side of the sensor cover 13, extending beyond the top surface of the panel 12. At this time, on the side of the sensor cover 13 with the first groove 131, a first protrusion 132 is formed around the first groove 131, and the lower end of the first protrusion 132 abuts against the inner wall of the first through hole 121. In this embodiment, the first groove 131 is a driving part. The first groove 131 creates a concave effect. When the sensor cover 13 needs to be disassembled, the operator inserts their finger into the first groove 131, creating a driving force that causes one side of the sensor cover 13 to lift, ultimately achieving the disassembly effect. Alternatively, a handle extending outwards can also be used, which can also achieve the lifting effect, but this structure is less aesthetically pleasing than the former.

[0033] Specifically, a positioning structure is provided between the lower side of the sensor cover 13 along the Z-axis and the main body 11. The upper side of the sensor cover 13 along the Z-axis abuts against the inner wall of the first through hole 121, and the driving part is provided on the upper side of the sensor cover 13 along the Z-axis. When the operator uses the device, the upper side can be lifted by inserting a finger into the first groove 131, thus achieving the disassembly effect.

[0034] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 1-7 As shown, the sensor cover 13 has several second through holes 133. The second through holes 133 are designed to allow communication between the sensor (which detects humidity) and the external environment, thus improving the accuracy of humidity detection. Alternatively, the sensor can be extended externally for more accurate detection.

[0035] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 2-7 As shown, the main body 11 includes a base 14 and a middle seat 15. The base 14 and the middle seat 15 cooperate to form a receiving cavity 111. A circuit board 16 is fixed inside the receiving cavity 111. The circuit board 16 is provided with two adjustment switches 161. The middle seat 15 is provided with several third through holes 151 and two fourth through holes 152. The adjustment switches 161 extend through the corresponding fourth through holes 152 to the bottom of the sensor cover 13. The middle seat 15 forms a built-in effect for the circuit board 16. The humidity sensor on the circuit board 16 can sense through the third through holes 151 and the first through hole 121. The fourth through holes 152 are used to adjust the adjustment switches 161. When the operator opens the sensor cover 13, they can operate the adjustment switches 161. Here, one adjustment switch 161 can control the time, and the other adjustment switch 161 can control the temperature threshold. In this embodiment, the panel 12 is connected and fixed to the middle seat 15.

[0036] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 1-7As shown, the middle base 15 has a protrusion 153, and both the third through hole 151 and the fourth through hole 152 are located on the protrusion 153. The protrusion 153 raises the height of the circuit board 16, making operation more convenient. The protrusion 153 is located on the top surface of the middle base 15, meaning that the top surface of the protrusion 153 is higher than the rest of the top surface of the middle base 15.

[0037] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 1-7 As shown, it also includes a button cover 17, which cooperates with the main body 11 to form a positioning groove 112. Here, the button cover 17 is located on the lower side of the sensor cover 13 along the Z-axis direction. A positioning foot 134 is provided on one side of the sensor cover 13, and the positioning foot 134 cooperates with the positioning groove 112. The positioning groove 112 better achieves the positioning and fixing effect of the sensor cover 13. In this embodiment, two positioning feet 134 are used as an example, and the two positioning feet 134 are symmetrically arranged to improve the positioning effect. In addition, those skilled in the art can adjust the number of positioning feet 134 according to actual needs. The positioning groove 112 and the positioning foot 134 cooperate to form a positioning structure.

[0038] Specifically, the sensor cover 13 and the button cover 17 work together to close the first through hole 121. Here, one sensor cover 13 and one button cover 17 can work together to close the first through hole 121; or one sensor cover 13 and two button covers 17 can work together to close the first through hole 121.

[0039] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 2-7 As shown, the sensor cover 13 has a second groove 135 and a second protrusion 136 on the side facing the button cover 17, with the second protrusion 136 surrounding the second groove 135. The button cover 17 has a third groove 171 and a third protrusion 172 on the side facing the sensor cover 13, with the third protrusion 172 surrounding the third groove 171. When the sensor cover 13 and the button cover 17 are engaged, the second groove 135 and the third groove 171 communicate, and the second protrusion 136 and the third protrusion 172 abut against each other. The reduced contact area between the sensor cover 13 and the button cover 17 makes the button cover 17 easier to press, preventing jamming during pressing and making the button cover 17 feel lighter to press. Secondly, the third groove 171 of the button cover 17 can reduce the amount of raw materials used and lower costs.

[0040] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 5As shown, an elastic element 18 is provided between the button cover 17 and the main body 11. The elastic element 18 provides a reset effect for the button cover 17. It also fills the gap between the button cover 17 and the tactile switch on the circuit board 16, ensuring that the button cover 17 and the sensor cover 13 are at the same height, thus improving the tactile feel of pressing the button cover 17. The elastic element 18 can be a spring or other elastic component.

[0041] Specifically, the number of button covers 17 is the same as the number of tactile switches on the circuit board 16. When there is one tactile switch, there is also one button cover 17. When there are two tactile switches, there are two button covers 17.

[0042] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 2-7 As shown, one of the sensor cover 13 and the main body 11 is provided with a positioning post 19, and the other of the sensor cover 13 and the main body 11 is provided with a positioning hole 20 that mates with the positioning post 19. When the sensor cover 13 is provided with the positioning post 19, the main body 11 is provided with the positioning hole 20; conversely, when the sensor cover 13 is provided with the positioning hole 20, the main body 11 is provided with the positioning post 19. The mate between the positioning post 19 and the positioning hole 20 better realizes the connection and fixation between the sensor cover 13 and the main body 11, and plays a guiding role. In this embodiment, the sensor cover 13 is provided with the positioning post 19, which extends along the Y-axis towards the middle seat 15, and the middle seat 15 is provided with the positioning hole 20. Furthermore, the number of positioning posts 19 is described as two as an example.

[0043] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a grounding frame 21 and a grounding wire 22. The grounding frame 21 is located between the main body 11 and the panel 12, and the grounding wire 22 is riveted to the grounding frame 21. The grounding frame 21 forms a grounding effect, providing protection. Here, the grounding wire 22 and the grounding frame 21 form an electrical connection with the earth, forming grounding protection. Grounding protection is existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0044] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 8 As shown, the grounding frame 21 has a boss 211, and the grounding wire 22 has a fifth through hole 221. The fifth through hole 221 is fitted onto the boss 211, and the boss 211 is riveted to fix the grounding wire 22 to the grounding frame 21. The riveting of the boss 211 better achieves the connection and fixation between the grounding wire 22 and the grounding frame 21.

[0045] Specifically, the grounding bracket 21 is fixedly connected to the middle seat 15, and the panel 12 is fixedly connected to the grounding bracket 21, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the grounding bracket 21, the middle seat 15, and the panel 12. During parameter adjustment, the panel 12 can be adjusted without disassembling it, improving the efficiency of disassembly and installation. The connection method here can be a snap-fit ​​connection or a bolt connection; those skilled in the art can adjust it according to actual needs.

[0046] Specifically, the humidity sensor switch is located in the entire electrical circuit and acts as a control switch. This is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0047] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
