Touch Panel Assembly With Synchronous Press Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing touch panels in electronic devices require varying pressing forces across different areas, leading to poor human-computer interaction and uneven touch feedback, which negatively impacts user experience.
Innovation Solution
A touch panel assembly that synchronously ascends and descends across its entire touch surface, driven by a transmission assembly with balance shafts and brackets, allowing uniform touch feedback and stable movement by positioning the touch switch at the center and using elastic tongues for resetting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional touch panel structure is used, then the touch panel can be operated, but different areas require different pressing forces leading to uneven touch feedback
Solution Approach 1:
The touch panel structure is segmented into multiple independent pressing units, each with its own pressing member that can move independently. This segmentation allows each area to be pressed uniformly without requiring different forces across different regions, resolving the uneven touch feedback issue while maintaining operational ease.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the touch panel requires different pressing forces at different areas, then the structure can accommodate varying touch requirements, but user experience deteriorates due to poor human-computer interaction
Solution Approach 1:
Each pressing unit is designed with local quality characteristics, where the pressing member's shape, size, and elastic properties are optimized for its specific location. This allows each local area to respond uniformly to pressing forces while maintaining overall system adaptability, improving user experience without sacrificing versatility.
3Ease of operation
If the touch panel is pressed at different areas with varying forces, then the touch operation can be performed, but the structure stability is compromised due to non-uniform movement
Solution Approach 1:
The pressing members are designed with elastic properties that provide counterbalancing forces during pressing operations. When any area of the touch panel is pressed, the elastic pressing members distribute the force uniformly across all pressing units, preventing non-uniform movement and maintaining structural stability while preserving touch operation capability.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This solution ensures stable and uniform touch feedback across the entire touch surface, improving user experience by allowing consistent pressing forces and maintaining perpendicular movement, thus enhancing product stability.
Implementation Method 1
the balance shaft includes a first shaft body rotatably connected to the first frame and a second shaft body rotatably connected to the second frame
Implementation Method 2
multiple elastic tongues, two opposing ends of the elastic tongue are respectively connected to the first frame and the second frame, to apply to the first frame a force to cause the touch panel to reset

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a touch panel assembly and an electronic device. The touch panel assembly includes a touch panel, a touch switch, and a transmission assembly. The touch panel receives a touch operation from a user. The touch switch is positioned below the touch panel and located at a center position of the touch panel. The transmission assembly drives the touch panel to ascend and descend along a vertical direction synchronously and across an entire touch surface, and the touch panel activates the touch switch while descending. When subject to a given force, any touch areas of the touch panel can be pressed down, the touch panel stably moves synchronously and across its entire touch surface, so as to increase product stability. The touch panel assembly can achieve technical effects of a uniform touch feedback and the touch panel's stable movement, and so as to effectively improve user experiences.
