Referring to fig. 1-23, a touch switch 100 provided by the present utility model is specifically described. The conventional touch switch is generally in point touch control, and the touch control area is very small, and the reason is that: the conductive film of the touch switch is arranged inside the shell, and the area of the conductive film is small due to the limited space inside the shell, so that the area of a touch control area on the touch panel is small, and inconvenience is brought to the operation of a user. To this end, according to a first aspect of the present utility model, there is provided a touch switch 100, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, comprising a touch panel 11 and a control circuit board 21, wherein the control circuit board 21 is electrically connected with at least one first sensing piece 22, and the first sensing piece 22 is laid between the touch panel 11 and the control circuit board 21; a second sensing piece 12 is laid between the touch panel 11 and the first sensing piece 22, the first sensing piece 22 and the second sensing piece 12 can conduct electricity, and the second sensing piece 12 is coupled with the first sensing piece 22 and is used for jointly sensing the touch input of the touch panel 11; the surface of the touch panel 11 for receiving a touch input is set as a first surface 111, and the projected area of the second sensing piece 12 on the first surface 111 is larger than the projected area of the first sensing piece 22 on the first surface 111. The first sensing piece 22 and the second sensing piece 12 may be conductive cloth, conductive paint, ITO film, metal film, carbon fiber plastic or other thin sheet structure with conductive property. The control circuit board 21 is provided with a sensing circuit, which can detect the capacitance change of the first sensing piece 22, when the finger of the user touches the touch panel 11, the first sensing piece 22 and the finger form a capacitance relation, so that the capacitance value of the first sensing piece 22 changes, and the control circuit board 21 judges the touch input of the user by detecting the capacitance value change of the first sensing piece 22. The first sensing piece 22 cannot be quite large due to the limitation of the shell structure, the second sensing piece 12 is arranged between the first sensing piece 22 and the touch panel 11, the coupling of the second sensing piece 12 and the first sensing piece 22 can be understood as the mutual coupling capacitance relation among the first sensing piece 22, the second sensing piece 12 and the fingers of a user, the capacitance of the first sensing piece 22 can be changed when the user touches the corresponding area of the second sensing piece 12, and the control circuit board 21 can obtain the touch input of the user by detecting the capacitance change of the first sensing piece 22. Because the projection area of the second sensing piece 12 is larger than that of the first sensing piece 22, the user can trigger the touch switch 100 by touching the corresponding area of the second sensing piece 12, so that the touch area is greatly increased, and the user does not need to deliberately find the position of the touch area, thereby improving the operation convenience. Moreover, since the second sensing piece 12 increases the touch area, the first sensing piece 22 does not need to be made large on the premise of ensuring the touch sensitivity, thereby reducing the occupation of the inner space of the housing, and enabling the touch switch 100 to be made thinner. In addition, since the second sensing piece 12 is closer to the touch panel 11 than the first sensing piece 22, the touch sensitivity is higher.

Further, as shown in fig. 2, 9 and 10, the first sensing piece 22 is not in contact with the second sensing piece 12, the second sensing piece 12 is laid on a surface of the touch panel 11 facing the first sensing piece 22, and an insulating member 23 is disposed between the first sensing piece 22 and the second sensing piece 12. The second sensing piece 12 may be directly attached to the lower surface of the touch panel 11, or may be indirectly disposed on the lower surface of the touch panel 11 by other structures. The insulating member 23 may be a sheet-like structure, or a case, or other insulating structure. The insulating member 23 is used for isolating an internal circuit board, isolating a charged part inside the shell, so that the charged part is not contacted with the touch panel 11, and when the user removes the touch panel 11, the charged part is not exposed, so that the user can freely remove and replace the touch panel 11 to adapt to different use scenes, for example, the touch panel 11 with different patterns can be replaced to indicate different controlled devices; or the touch panel 11 with different key numbers is replaced, and then a plurality of touch areas are combined into the same touch area through software setting, so that the key number of the touch switch 100 can be quickly changed without changing hardware. Further, the insulating member 23 is made of a flame retardant material. In a specific embodiment, the touch switch 100 further includes a bottom case 3 and a panel assembly 1, where the bottom case 3 is fixedly mounted on a wall; the panel assembly 1 comprises the touch panel 11, a second induction piece 12 and a panel shell 13, wherein the panel shell 13 is fixedly connected with the touch panel 11, and the second induction piece 12 is paved between the touch panel 11 and the panel shell 13; the panel housing 13 is detachably connected to the bottom chassis 3 such that the touch panel 11 and the second sensing piece 12 are detachably connected to the bottom chassis 3. Wherein the detachable connection comprises clamping connection, screw connection, magnetic connection or other detachable connection modes.

In summary, the utility model creatively separates two isolated sensing pieces into the shell and the panel assembly 1 in a capacitive coupling manner so as to jointly sense touch input, and the area of the second sensing piece 12 is increased to realize the function of large-area touch, thereby improving the convenience of touch operation, reducing the thickness of the panel assembly 1 and improving the safety of disassembling the panel assembly 1, and facilitating the replacement of the panel assembly 1 by a user to adapt to different use scenes.

Further, as shown in fig. 7, a preset distance d1 is provided between the first sensing piece 22 and the second sensing piece 12, where d1 is less than or equal to 20mm, so as to ensure that the touch sensitivity is not too low. In a preferred embodiment, d1=2 mm.

Further, as shown in fig. 5, 3 and 4, the pattern projected by the first sensing piece 22 on the first surface 111 is set as a first projected pattern 221, the pattern projected by the second sensing piece 12 on the first surface 111 is set as a second projected pattern 121, and the second projected pattern 121 covers at least 90% of the area of the first projected pattern 221. So that the first sensing piece 22 and the second sensing piece 12 form a positive capacitive coupling relationship, thereby improving the sensing sensitivity and ensuring that the corresponding position of the edge of the second sensing piece 12 can also be successfully touched to trigger the touch switch 100.

Further, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the projection of the second sensing pieces 12 on the touch panel 11 is covered on the touch panel 11, a preset interval 123 is provided between the second sensing pieces 12, the second sensing pieces 12 are not contacted, and each second sensing piece 12 is provided with a second notch 122; when the touch input is applied to the opposite position of the second sensing piece 12, the opposite position of the preset interval 123 or the opposite position of the second notch 122, the control circuit board 21 can generate a trigger signal in response to the touch input. Wherein the second notch 122 extends through the second sensing piece 12, the second notch 122 may be a through hole located inside, a notch near the edge, or another type of notch. The second notch 122 is used for transmitting light, or avoiding shielding the microwave signal. In the actual use process, since the capacitive coupling of the second sensing piece 12 and the first sensing piece 22 is used to sense the touch input in the touch area, the area of the actually generated touch area is slightly larger than that of the second sensing piece 12, so that an overlapping area exists between the adjacent touch areas, and the preset interval 123 is used to separate the two second sensing pieces 12, so that the overlapping area between the adjacent touch areas is smaller, and false touch is prevented. According to the utility model, by controlling the sizes of the preset interval 123 and the second notch 122, the touch control area can cover the preset interval 123 and the second notch 122, so that the opposite position of the touch input acting on the preset interval 123 or the second notch 122 can be sensed by the second sensing piece 12, and therefore, the touch switch 100 can be triggered at any position in the touch control area, and no touch control blind area can occur.

Further, as shown in fig. 4, the minimum value of the width of the second notch 122 of the second sensing piece 12 is b, and the preset interval 123 is L3, so that both b and L3 are smaller than 15mm, so that the second sensing piece 12 can sense the touch input when the touch input acts on the position opposite to the preset interval 123 or the position opposite to the second notch 122. The second notch 122 may be circular, rectangular, polygonal, or any other shape, and the minimum value b of the width of the second notch 122 may be the diameter of the circular notch, the length of the short side of the rectangular notch, the shortest width of the polygonal notch, the radius of the semicircular notch, etc. The applicant finds through many experiments that when the average thickness of the finger of the adult touches the touch panel 11, and when b or L3 is smaller than 15mm, it can be ensured that the finger touches the second notch 122 or the preset interval 123 to be opposite to the position, the touch switch 100 can be successfully triggered, and when b or L3 is larger than 15mm, the finger touches the second notch 122 or the preset interval 123 to be opposite to the position is insufficient to ensure that the touch switch 100 is 100% triggered. Therefore, the applicant sets the minimum value of the width of the second notch 122 and the preset interval 123 to be less than 15mm, so as to ensure the success rate of triggering. In a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the minimum value b=9.2 mm of the width of the second notch 122, and the preset interval l3=3 mm. In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 22, the control circuit board 21 is provided with a proximity sensing module 215, and the second sensing piece 12 is provided with a fourth notch 124 at a position opposite to the proximity sensing module 215, so as to avoid microwave signal emission of the proximity sensing module 215. The second notch 122 includes the fourth notch 124, the fourth notch 124 is disposed between the two second sensing pieces 12, the two second sensing pieces 12 divide the fourth notch 124 equally, and a minimum value b=9mm of the width of the fourth notch 124 occupied by each second sensing piece 12.

Further, as shown in fig. 2-4, the touch panel 11 includes at least one touch area, and the control circuit board 21 generates a corresponding trigger signal in response to a touch input of each touch area; the number of touch areas on the touch panel 11 may be changed, but the effective touch area formed by the touch areas together remains unchanged, so as to make full use of the surface area of the touch panel 11, where the effective touch area is set as an area on the touch panel 11 where the touch input can be sensed. The touch area may be understood as a virtual key area of the touch switch 100, and the touch area may be single, two, three or four, which is equivalent to a single key, a double key, a triple key, or a four-key switch of a conventional switch. The effective touch area may be understood as a total area occupied by the touch area.

Further, when the number of touch areas of the touch panel 11 is single, an effective touch area formed by the single touch area is an area of the entire touch panel 11; when the number of the touch areas of the touch panel 11 is two, the effective touch area formed by the two touch areas together is still the area of the whole touch panel 11; when the number of the touch areas of the touch panel 11 is three, the effective touch area formed by the three touch areas is still the area of the whole touch panel 11; when the number of the touch areas of the touch panel 11 is four, the effective touch area formed by the four touch areas is still the area of the entire touch panel 11. That is, when the number of the touch areas is changed, the area of the touch area is changed, so that the effective touch area is always distributed over the surface area of the touch panel 11, thereby maximally increasing the touch area and improving the control convenience. In a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 to fig. 4, the number of the first sensing pieces 22 and the second sensing pieces 12 is four, and each second sensing piece 12 corresponds to the position of each first sensing piece 22; there is no contact between the first inductive pads 22 and there is no contact between the second inductive pads 12; the four second sensing pads 12 are combined to form one, two, three or four touch areas, and the touch switch 100 issues different control instructions in response to the different touch areas being touched. The combination may be understood as a logical combination, rather than a physical combination, that is, the trigger signals generated by triggering the plurality of second sensing pads 12 are set to the same trigger signal through software setting, so that the touch areas corresponding to the plurality of second sensing pads 12 are logically combined to the same touch area, and in this process, the number and the area of the first sensing pads 22 and the second sensing pads 12 are not changed. The scheme can quickly change the number of keys of the touch switch 100 without changing hardware, and is convenient and quick. And the number of keys is switched so as not to affect the effective touch area, and the effective touch area is always distributed on the surface of the touch panel 11. The first sensing pieces 22 are not contacted with each other, and the second sensing pieces 12 are not contacted with each other, so that the overlapping area between the adjacent touch areas is smaller, and false touch is prevented.

Further, as shown in fig. 5 and fig. 4, the shape formed by the outer contour of each second sensing piece 12 is projected on the first surface 111 to form a third projected pattern, and the sum of the areas of the third projected patterns is greater than 70% of the area of the first surface 111, and since the touch area formed by each second sensing piece 12 is slightly greater than the area of each third projected pattern, the effective touch area can cover the area of the entire touch panel 11 by controlling the area of the third projected pattern. The third projection pattern may be understood as a projection pattern formed by the second sensing piece 12 and the through hole inside the second sensing piece 12. In a specific embodiment, the sum of the areas of the third projected patterns is equal to 80% of the area of the first surface 111, so as to ensure that any position touching the touch panel 11 can successfully trigger the touch switch 100.

Further, the third notch 224 is formed between the two first sensing pieces 22, so that the sensing area loss caused by the third notch 224 is shared by the two first sensing pieces 22; the fourth notch 124 is opened between the two second sensing pieces 12, so that the sensing area loss caused by the fourth notch 124 is shared by the two second sensing pieces 12; thereby reducing the effect of the third gap 224 and the fourth gap 124 on the sensing area.

In yet another embodiment, as shown in fig. 23, each of the second sensing pads 12 forms a touch area on the first surface 111 of the touch panel 11, which is different from the embodiment of fig. 1-21 in that the number of touch areas is equal to the number of the second sensing pads 12, and the touch switch 100 sends different control instructions in response to touching different touch areas; the area of the touch area corresponds to the area of the second sensing pieces 12, the area of a single second sensing piece 12 decreases with the increase of the number of the touch areas, the shape formed by the outer contour of each second sensing piece 12 is projected on the first surface 111 to form a third projected pattern, and the sum of the areas of the third projected patterns is greater than 70% of the area of the first surface 111, so that the sum of the areas of the touch areas can be distributed on the touch panel 11. The number and the area of the touch areas of the touch switch 100 of the embodiment correspond to those of the second sensing pieces 12, that is, the number of the second sensing pieces 12 is one, and the single second sensing piece 12 occupies more than 70% of the area of the touch panel; the number of the second sensing pieces 12 of the double-bond touch switch 100 is two, and the two second sensing pieces 12 occupy more than 70% of the area of the touch panel; the three-key touch switch 100 has three second sensing pieces 12, and the three second sensing pieces 12 occupy 70% or more of the area of the touch panel; the four-key touch switch 100 has four second sensing pieces 12, and the four second sensing pieces 12 occupy 70% or more of the area of the touch panel. Wherein fig. 23 shows only a double-key touch switch 100 embodiment. Compared with the embodiment shown in fig. 1-21, in this embodiment, instead of forming single, double and triple bonds by combining four touch areas, the number of touch areas is corresponding to that of the second sensing pieces 12, so that the touch areas are more complete, no separation exists in the touch areas, and the touch sensitivity of each part in the touch areas is more consistent. Further, the number of the first notches 223 and the second notches 122 is equal to the number of the touch areas, so that the number of the first notches 223 and the second notches 122 is smaller, and the touch areas are more complete.

Further, in the embodiment shown in fig. 23, the number of the first sensing pads 22 is equal to the number of the second sensing pads 12, and the area of the first sensing pads 22 is reduced as the number of the touch areas is increased. Namely, the number of the first sensing pieces 22 of the single-key touch switch 100 is one; the number of the first sensing pieces 22 of the double-bond touch switch 100 is two; the number of the first sensing pieces 22 of the three-key touch switch 100 is three; the number of the first sensing pads 22 of the four-key touch switch 100 is four. The number and the area of the first sensing pieces 22 correspond to those of the second sensing pieces 12, so that the touch sensitivity of each touch area is more consistent.

According to a second aspect of the present utility model, as shown in fig. 1 to 23, there is provided a touch switch 100 including: a touch panel 11; a plurality of second sensing pieces 12 disposed inside the touch panel 11 for sensing a touch input of the touch panel 11; a control circuit board 21 coupled to the second sensing piece 12, capable of generating a trigger signal in response to the touch input of the touch panel 11; the projection of the second sensing pieces 12 on the touch panel 11 is covered on the touch panel 11, a preset interval 123 is provided between the second sensing pieces 12, and each second sensing piece 12 is provided with a second notch 122; when the touch input is applied to the opposite position of the second sensing piece 12, the opposite position of the preset interval 123 or the opposite position of the second notch 122, the control circuit board 21 can generate a trigger signal in response to the touch input. The technical details of the touch panel 11, the control circuit board 21, and the second sensing piece 12 are described in detail above, and will not be described here again. The second sensing piece 12 is arranged at the inner side of the touch panel 11 instead of the inner side of the shell, so that the area of the second sensing piece 12 is not limited by the shell any more, the area is enlarged, the area of a touch area is greatly increased, and convenience is brought to operation. In addition, in the actual use process, since the second sensing piece 12 senses the touch input in the touch area, the area of the touch area generated by the second sensing piece 12 is slightly larger than that of the second sensing piece 12, so that an overlapping area exists between the adjacent touch areas, and the preset interval 123 has the effect of separating the two second sensing pieces 12, so that the overlapping area between the adjacent touch areas is smaller, and false touch is prevented. According to the utility model, by controlling the sizes of the preset interval 123 and the second notch 122, the touch control area can cover the preset interval 123 and the second notch 122, so that the opposite position of the touch input acting on the preset interval 123 or the second notch 122 can be sensed by the second sensing piece 12, and therefore, the touch switch 100 can be triggered at any position in the touch control area, and no touch control blind area can occur.

Further, as shown in fig. 4, the minimum value of the width of the second notch 122 of the second sensing piece 12 is b, and the preset interval 123 is L3, so that both b and L3 are smaller than 15mm, so that the second sensing piece 12 can sense the touch input when the touch input acts on the position opposite to the preset interval 123 or the position opposite to the second notch 122. The technical details of the second notch 122 and the preset interval 123 are described in detail above, and are not described herein. The applicant finds through many experiments that when the average thickness of the finger of the adult touches the touch panel 11, and when b or L3 is smaller than 15mm, it can be ensured that the finger touches the second notch 122 or the preset interval 123 to be opposite to the position, the touch switch 100 can be successfully triggered, and when b or L3 is larger than 15mm, the finger touches the second notch 122 or the preset interval 123 to be opposite to the position, which is insufficient to ensure that the touch switch 100 is 100% triggered. Therefore, the applicant sets the minimum value of the width of the second notch 122 and the preset interval 123 to be less than 15mm, so as to ensure the success rate of triggering. In a specific embodiment, the minimum value b=9.2 mm of the width of the second notch 122, and the preset interval l3=3 mm.

The technical details of the touch area are described in detail above, and are not described herein.

Further, as shown in fig. 2 to fig. 4, when the number of touch areas of the touch panel 11 is single, an effective touch area formed by the single touch area is an area of the entire touch panel 11; when the number of the touch areas of the touch panel 11 is two, the effective touch area formed by the two touch areas together is still the area of the whole touch panel 11; when the number of the touch areas of the touch panel 11 is three, the effective touch area formed by the three touch areas is still the area of the whole touch panel 11; when the number of the touch areas of the touch panel 11 is four, the effective touch area formed by the four touch areas is still the area of the entire touch panel 11.
