The mounting hole 13 can be a blind hole or a through hole.

In the example shown in the figure, the number of mounting holes 13 is 4, and they are arranged in an isosceles trapezoid shape on the panel 10, arranged along the circumference of the first window 101, and the number of mounting posts 3132 is the same as the number of mounting holes 13 Corresponding. In this way, the cooperation of the mounting hole 13 and the mounting post 3132 can stably install the mounting ring 313 on the panel 10. In addition, the arrangement of the mounting holes 13 in this embodiment can be fool-proof, so that the mounting ring 313 can be accurately installed on the panel 10 when the knob assembly 31 is installed, so as to avoid installation errors and affect assembly efficiency.

It can be understood that, in other embodiments, the number of mounting holes 13 and mounting posts 3132 may also be less than 4 or more than 4, for example, 3 or 5 or more. Further, the mounting post 3132 may also be a mounting post 3132 provided with a screw hole, and the combination of a screw and the mounting post 3132 can be used to make the knob assembly 31 more firmly installed on the panel.

10, in this embodiment, the adhesive 315 is provided on the bottom of the mounting ring 313 (on the right side of the figure). In the illustrated embodiment, the first mounting portion 11 at the bottom of the mounting ring 313 is provided with adhesive A member 315 and an adhesive member 315 connect the mounting ring 313 and the panel 10 to fix the two. In this way, the first mounting portion 11 and the second mounting portion 3131 can accurately position and mount the mounting ring 313 on the panel 10, and the adhesive 315 can fixedly connect the two. In this way, both fast and accurate positioning and installation can be realized as well as fast fixing.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the adhesive 315 may be a double-sided tape or other connecting elements including an adhesive substrate with adhesiveness. Generally, before fixing the knob assembly 31, the surface of the adhesive piece 315 is covered with a protective film 3151. When using it, please refer to Figure 10 to tear off the protective film 3151 to expose the adhesive year 315, and then use the adhesive piece 315 to remove the knob assembly 31 Glue to the panel 10.

It can be understood that, in some embodiments, the knob assembly 31 may not be provided with the adhesive 315, but directly cooperate with the first mounting portion 11 and the second mounting portion 3131 to directly fix the mounting ring 313 on the panel 10. For example, the first mounting portion 11 and the second mounting portion 3131 can be configured as a detachable buckle connection, so that the mounting ring 313 is fixedly clipped on the panel 10 through a buckle connection. In this way, the knob assembly 31 and The panel 10 is detachably connected. When the knob assembly 31 needs to be repaired or replaced, the knob assembly 31 can be removed from the panel 10 more conveniently and quickly.

In addition, in other embodiments, the first mounting portion 11 and the second mounting portion 3131 may not be formed on the mounting ring 313 and the panel 10, and the mounting ring 313 and the panel 10 may be directly fixedly connected by an adhesive.

In addition, as shown in Fig. 4, in this embodiment, the mounting ring 313 and the second housing 312 are of separate structures, that is, they are formed separately and then mounted together. It can be understood that, in other embodiments, in order to reduce mold manufacturing costs and reduce installation procedures, the mounting ring 313 and the second housing 312 may be integrally formed and manufactured.

Referring to FIGS. 4, 6 and 8, in this embodiment, the sensor assembly 40 includes a sensor 41, a sensor circuit board 42 and a bracket 43.

The bracket 43 is installed on the lower surface of the panel 10. The sensor 41 is arranged on the sensor circuit board 42 and is electrically connected to the sensor circuit board 42. The sensor circuit board 42 is installed on the bracket 43. The bracket 42 is in a frame shape. The hollow part is exposed to reduce the obstruction of the sensor 41 to the induction ring 314. The bracket 43 is used to support and place the sensor circuit board 42 and the sensor 41 to prevent the sensor 41 and the sensor circuit board 42 from falling. The sensor circuit board 42 is arranged on the lower surface of the bracket 43, and the sensor circuit board 42 and the display circuit board 22 can pass through The flexible circuit board 50 is connected. The bracket 43 can be fixedly installed on the lower surface of the panel 10 by other adhesives such as glue or other elements capable of bonding the bracket 43 and the panel 10, or can be fixed by means of buckles or screws.

Specifically, the flexible circuit board 50 includes a first connector 51, a second connector 52, and a cable 53 connecting the first connector 51 and the second connector 52. The flexible circuit board 50 is connected to the display screen through the first connector 51. The circuit board 22 is connected to the sensor circuit board 42 through the second connector 52.

The sensor 41 is used to sense the position of the sensing ring 314 to at least control the display content of the first display area 211 of the display screen 21. In this embodiment, the mounting ring 313 is located at the bottom of the knob assembly 31, and a notch 3133 is formed on the mounting ring 313. Referring to FIGS. 4 and 6, the sensing ring 314 includes a portion corresponding to the notch 3133, that is, the sensing ring 314 can be partially exposed from the notch 3133 for the sensor 41 to sense, which can reduce the sensing obstacle between the sensing ring 314 and the sensor 41 and improve the accuracy of sensing.

Please refer to FIG. 14, in order to enable the sensor 41 to more accurately sense the position of the sensing ring 314, a second through hole 12 is opened on the panel 10 at a position corresponding to the sensor 41, and the position and notch of the second through hole 12 The position of 3133 corresponds. In other words, the second through hole 12 is basically located directly under the notch 3133, and the sensor 41 is basically located directly under the second through hole 12. In this way, the sensor 41 can accurately sense the position of the induction ring 314 through the second through hole 12 and the gap 3133 to at least control the display content of the first display area 211 (the arrow in FIG. 14 and the position at the second through hole 12 in FIG. The arrows all indicate the sensing path of the sensor 41).

In this embodiment, the induction ring 314 includes a magnetic ring, and the sensor 41 includes a Hall sensor. The peripheral shape of the magnetic ring is a gear ring. In other words, a plurality of teeth are formed on the peripheral edge of the magnetic ring, and two adjacent teeth are formed. There is a gap between. Each tooth can represent a magnetic pole. The magnetic poles of two adjacent teeth are the same or opposite. In one example, the Hall sensor may be a Hall sensor with a model of "DRV5033FAQDBZR" of Texas Instruments (Texas Instruments).

Specifically, referring to FIGS. 16 to 18, when the user rotates the first housing 311 to drive the induction ring 314 to rotate, the teeth of the induction ring 314 or the gap between the two teeth pass through the gap 3133 and the second through hole 12. Detected by sensor 41. The specific detection process of the sensor 41 is as follows: First, in the example shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 (FIG. 16 is a top view angle, and FIG. 17 is a bottom view angle), a tooth of the sensing ring 314 is located directly above the sensor 41 , The sensor 41 detects the peak value of the magnetic field signal. In the example shown in FIG. 18, the teeth of the induction ring 314 are not directly above the sensor 41 but are located on both sides of the sensor 41, that is, the sensor 41 is located directly below the gap between the two teeth. At this time, the sensor 41 cannot detect a signal or detects a peak value that is not a magnetic field signal, which causes the output signal of the sensor 41 to change. In this way, the sensor 41 can record how many teeth the induction ring 314 has rotated, so that the position of the induction ring 314 can be determined according to the recorded information, and then the display content of the display screen 21 can be controlled. (In the examples shown in Figures 16 to 18, the dashed line frame represents the sensor 41)

It is understandable that, in this embodiment, the panel 10 is made of glass or plastic, and is not a magnetic shielding material. Therefore, the panel 10 may not have the second through hole 12, and the sensor 41 can also sense the sensing ring through the panel 10. The position of 314 (as shown in FIG. 15, the arrow in FIG. 15 indicates the sensing path of the sensor 41). In other embodiments, the mounting ring 313 may also be a non-magnetic shielding material. In this way, the mounting ring 313 may not be provided with the notch 3133, and the sensor 41 senses the position of the sensing ring 314 through the mounting ring 313.

In addition, in this embodiment, a magnetic ring and a Hall sensor are used in conjunction to sense the position of the sensing ring 314. In other embodiments, other methods can also be used for sensing, for example, by detecting the proximity, capacitance, or resistance between the sensing ring 314 and the sensor 41. The sensor 41 can also include a photoelectric switch. The position of the sensing ring 314 can be sensed by light sensing and other methods. The specific implementation can be determined according to actual conditions.

In this embodiment, the user can control the first display content of the display screen 21 through the knob assembly 31. For example, when the working temperature needs to be set, the temperature parameter can be set through the knob assembly 31 to increase or decrease the temperature; when the working time needs to be set, the working time can be set through the knob assembly 31 to increase or decrease the duration; When the working power needs to be set, the working power can be set through the knob assembly 31 to increase or decrease the working power.

The following is an example of setting the operating temperature. First of all, it should be noted that in the example shown in the figure, the number of each tooth of the induction ring 314 is only for marking the position so as to more clearly describe its specific working process. Whether there is a number on the entity itself of the induction ring 314 It does not have a limiting effect, that is to say, a serial number may or may not exist on the entity of the induction ring 314 itself.

Please refer to FIG. 19, in FIG. 19, the current set temperature of the household appliance 1000 displayed in the first display area 211, as can be seen from FIG. 19, when the first display area 211 displays 179°, the sensing ring 314 The tooth 7 is located directly above the gap 3133 and the sensor 41. At this time, the sensor 41 records a signal. When the user needs to readjust the working temperature, the user can turn the first housing 311 of the knob assembly 31, and the first housing 311 drives the induction The ring 314 rotates. When one tooth is rotated clockwise (the tooth 6 is turned above the notch 3133 and the sensor 41), the setting of the first display area 211 is the temperature plus 1. Specifically, in the process of rotation, the sensor 41 is always in the sensing state. When the gap between the two teeth is located directly above the sensor 41, the signal of the sensor 41 is missing, and then when it rotates to the tooth 6, the sensor 41 can sense again. In this way, the sensor 41 records that the induction ring 314 has rotated one tooth clockwise (that is, the sensor 41 can sense the position change information of the induction ring 314), thereby transmitting the position change information to the sensor circuit board 42, and the sensor circuit board 42 It is processed by itself (the sensor circuit board 42 itself may include a circuit board and a control device arranged on the circuit board) or a control device arranged on the sensor circuit board 42 (for example, a processor arranged on the sensor circuit board 42). The flexible circuit board 50 and the display circuit board 22 control the value displayed on the display 21 to increase by 1, that is, the first display area 211 of the display 21 displays 180° (as shown in FIG. 20). On the basis of Fig. 18, when the induction ring 314 further rotates one tooth clockwise (turn the tooth 5 above the notch 3133 and the sensor 41), the display value of the first display area 211 is increased by 1 (that is, 181°, such as Figure 21).

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, each time the induction ring 314 rotates one tooth clockwise, the set temperature displayed in the first display area 211 increases by 1, and each time one tooth rotates counterclockwise, the set temperature decreases by one. It can be understood that, in other embodiments, it can also be that every time one tooth or two or more teeth rotate counterclockwise, the set temperature is increased by 1, and every clockwise rotation one tooth or two or more teeth , Set temperature minus 1, no specific restrictions.

It should also be noted that, in this embodiment, in order for the sensor 41 to recognize whether the induction ring 314 is rotating clockwise or counterclockwise, a mark point can be set on the induction ring 314 to achieve clockwise and counterclockwise rotation. Detection, that is, the sensor 41 can detect the position information of the marking point to determine whether the induction ring 314 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise. For example, each tooth of the induction ring 314 is specially numbered, and the induction ring 314 is determined by the identification number. Whether to rotate counterclockwise or clockwise.

In addition, referring to FIGS. 17a and 17b, in some embodiments, in order for the sensor 41 to recognize whether the induction ring 314 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, the induction ring 314 may be formed by connecting multiple magnetic poles, adjacent The polarities of the two magnetic poles are opposite. In this way, a sensor 44 with the same or similar function as the sensor 41 can be installed on the sensor circuit board 42 adjacent to the sensor 41. In this way, the signal difference between the two sensors can be detected. Determine the direction of rotation.

Specifically, as shown in Figure 17b, the sensor 41 is arranged directly below the N pole or the S pole (that is, the sensor 41 is covered by a single magnetic pole), and the sensor 44 and the sensor 41 are arranged at a distance of 1.5 magnetic poles between the N pole and the S pole. The middle position (that is, a part of the sensor 44 is covered by an N pole, and the other part is covered by an adjacent S pole).

The following is a detailed description of how to realize clockwise and counterclockwise detection. First, for the convenience of understanding, when the sensor 44 is located directly below the N pole (that is, the sensor 44 is covered by the N pole), the detected signal is "1" , When it is located directly below the S pole (that is, the sensor 44 is covered by the S pole), the detection signal is "0" as an example. In addition, when the sensor 44 is partially covered by the N pole and the other part is covered by the adjacent S pole , It detects that the signal is "0". As shown in Figure 17b, when the induction ring 314 rotates clockwise, the sensor 44 will first be located directly below the S pole, and then at the middle of the N pole and S pole. During this process, the detection signal of the sensor 44 is always 0. When the induction ring 314 rotates counterclockwise, the sensor 44 will first be located below the N pole, and then at the middle of the N pole and S pole. During this process, the detection signal of the sensor 44 will change from 0 to 1 and then to 0. In this way, according to the change of the detection signal of the sensor 44, it can be determined whether the induction ring 314 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise.

In addition, in this embodiment, the sensor 41 can detect the rotation angle of the induction ring 314 when it rotates (that is, the rotation angle of the knob assembly 31 when the knob assembly 31 rotates). The rotation angle can be confirmed by the number of teeth rotated by the induction ring 314. Specifically, It can be seen from Fig. 22 that the teeth of the induction ring 314 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction, and the rotation angle of one tooth is the same. For example, in Fig. 22, the number of teeth of the induction ring 314 is 22, and the knob assembly 31 rotates one The angle of the teeth is 16.36°. It can be understood that, in other embodiments, the number of teeth uniformly distributed on the induction ring 314 can also be less than 22 or greater than 22, and the number of teeth is different, and the angle of each tooth is also different. For example, when the number of teeth When it is 30, the angle of each tooth is 12°, and the specific number of teeth can be set according to the actual situation.

In the illustrated embodiment, the number of teeth of the induction ring 314 is 22, and 22 teeth are evenly distributed on the induction ring 314. It can be understood that, in other embodiments, the number of teeth of the induction ring 314 may be less than 22 or greater than 22, which is not specifically limited.

In addition, in this embodiment, the induction ring 314 is arranged in a gear ring shape with a gap between the two teeth. The sensor 41 determines the position of the induction ring 314 by sensing the number of signal peaks and the number of missing or reduced signals. It is understandable that in other embodiments, the induction ring 314 may also be arranged in a circular ring shape, and a plurality of magnetic poles are provided on the induction ring 314, and the polarities of two adjacent magnetic poles are opposite. The sensor 41 can form different detection information with the N pole and the S pole. For example, when it is the N pole, it is recorded as 1, and when it is the S pole, it is recorded as 0. So when the induction ring 314 rotates, the sensor 41 can record the N pole. The number of information or the number of S-pole information is used to detect how many N-poles or S-poles the induction ring 314 has rotated, so as to realize the detection of the position of the induction ring 314. The specific setting method can be set according to the actual situation.

4, 7 and 9, in this embodiment, the positioning device 60 is installed on the first housing 311, and the positioning device 60 is used to position the relative rotation of the first housing 311 and the second housing 312 position. The positioning device 60 includes a support 61 and a resisting component 62.

The supporting member 61 is installed on the first housing 311, the resisting component 62 is installed on the supporting member 61, and the resisting component 62 is telescopically resisting the second housing 312.

The resisting component 62 includes an elastic member 621 and a resisting member 622. The elastic member 621 is installed on the supporting member 61. The resisting member 622 is connected to the elastic member 621. The elastic member 621 is used to generate an elastic force acting on the resisting member 622 to make the resisting The holding member 622 resists the second housing 312.

22 and 23, in order to cooperate with the positioning device 60 to locate the first housing 311 and the second housing 312, the outer wall 3113 of the second housing 312 is formed along the circumferential direction of the second housing 312 A plurality of positioning members 3122, the resisting member 622 can be positioned and connected to one of the positioning members 3122. Wherein, in this embodiment, the positioning member 3122 includes a groove 3123, and the resisting member 622 can resist a groove 3123.

Specifically, referring to FIGS. 9, 22, and 23, the elastic member 621 can be fixedly installed on the supporting member 61, the resisting member 622 is inserted on the elastic member 621, and the resisting member 622 resists the second housing 312 In the upper groove 3123, when the user rotates the first housing 311, the elastic member 621 and the resisting member 622 follow the first housing 311 to rotate, but the second housing 312 does not move. At this time, the resisting member 622 slides out of the groove 3123 where it is under the force, and then slides into the adjacent groove 3123. When the resisting member 622 slides out of the groove 3123, the elastic member 621 will be compressed under the action of the resisting member 622. Then, when sliding into the adjacent groove 3123, the pushing force generated by the elastic member 621 causes the resisting member 622 to be quickly inserted into the groove 3123 and resist the groove 3123.

It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the number of grooves 3123 corresponds to the number of teeth of the induction ring 314, and the position of the groove 3123 corresponds to the position of the teeth of the induction ring 314 (refer to FIG. 22), In other words, every time the induction ring 314 rotates one tooth, the resisting member 622 will slide into the adjacent groove 3123 from the groove 3123 where it is located, and the resisting member 622 will be elastic during the sliding process. The elastic force of the member 621 hits the groove 3123 to generate an impact sound for feedback. In this way, the user can intuitively perceive how much the sensing ring 314 has rotated, without the user having to spend more time determining whether the first housing 311 is located at the position desired by the user, and the user experience is improved.

Referring to FIG. 9, in this embodiment, the elastic member 621 may be an elastic element such as a spring, and the resisting member 622 may be an element such as a bolt, which is not specifically limited here, as long as its positioning function can be achieved.

In addition, it can be understood that, in some embodiments, the positioning member 3122 may also be a convex portion provided on the outer wall of the second housing 312. Specifically, a corresponding groove may be formed at the end of the resisting member 622 to realize the positioning of the two.

In addition, in other embodiments, the positioning device 60 may not be mounted on the first housing 311, but on the second housing 312, and the support 61 is mounted on the second housing 312 to resist The assembly 62 flexibly abuts the first housing 311, and at the same time, the positioning member 3122 is formed on the inner wall 3112 of the first housing 311 instead of the outer wall of the second housing 312. In this way, the positions of the first housing 311 and the second housing 312 can also be located, so as to realize automatic and precise positioning and improve user experience.

Further, referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in this embodiment, the decorative cover 316 is also substantially in the shape of a circular column, and the decorative cover 316 covers the first housing 311. The decorative cover 316 can be fixedly connected to the first housing 311 by a snap connection.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 24, a clamping groove 3117 is provided on the top of the first housing 311, and a protrusion (not shown) is provided on the decorative cover 316 to cooperate with the clamping groove 3117. The groove 3117 and the protrusion are matedly connected to fix the decorative cover 316 on the first housing 311. In this way, the arrangement of the decorative cover 316 can enhance the aesthetics of the interactive assembly 100, and when the user needs to rotate the first housing 311 and the induction ring 314, only the decorative cover 316 needs to be rotated to drive the first housing 311 to rotate.

The working process of the interactive component 100 of this embodiment will be introduced below, taking the first display area 211 to display the set temperature and the second display area 212 to display the working mode as an example.

First, in this embodiment, the user can perform a touch operation on the second window 102 to select the working mode of the home appliance 1000. After the user selects the work mode, the first display area 211 at the first window 101 displays the set work temperature. Then, when the user needs to adjust the set working temperature, the user can rotate the decorative cover 316 to drive the induction ring 314 fixedly installed in the first housing 311 to rotate, and the sensor 41 passes through the gap 3133 and the second through hole 12. The number of teeth that the sensing ring 314 has rotated is sensed, and then the sensor circuit board 42 and the flexible circuit board 50 transmit the sensed data to the display circuit board 22 to control the change of the temperature value displayed in the first display area 211.

During the rotation, since the number of grooves 3123 on the second housing 312 corresponds to the number of teeth of the induction ring 314, each time a tooth is rotated, the resisting member 622 will hit the second housing under the action of the elastic member 621. The groove 3123 on the second housing 312 is thus feedback to the user through sound, so that the user can directly perceive how many teeth the induction ring 314 has turned.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the user may not use the knob assembly 31 to set the temperature, but directly set the working temperature by touching the second window 102. In addition, in other embodiments, the input component 30 may also include a touch component and/or a button component. That is, in these embodiments, the user can set or adjust the content displayed in the first display area 211 by touching the component or the key component. Further, the input component 30 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a knob component 31, a touch component and a key component, or the input component 30 includes a knob component 31 and a touch component, or the input component 30 includes a knob component 31 and a key component, or an input component 30 It includes a touch component and a button component, or the input component 30 includes a knob component 31 or a touch component or a button component. Corresponding to each component of the knob component 31, the touch component and the key component, it can correspond to a first display area 211, and the content displayed in the first display area 21 is set or adjusted by the corresponding component.

It can be understood that in other examples, the input component 30 can also be correspondingly disposed in other positions of the display screen 21. For example, in the examples shown in FIGS. 25 and 29, the input component 30 is correspondingly disposed on the display screen component 20. In the middle position, the second display area 212 is located on both sides of the first display area 211 (in FIG. 25, the second display area 212 is located on the left and right sides of the first display area 211; in FIG. 28, the second display area 212 is located The upper and lower sides of the first display area 211). In the example shown in FIG. 26, the input component 30 is correspondingly disposed on the left side of the display screen component 20, and the second display area 212 is located on the right side of the first display area 211. In the example shown in FIG. 27, the input component 30 is disposed on the upper side of the display screen component 20, and the second display area 212 is located on the lower side of the first display area 211. In the example shown in FIG. 29, the input component 30 is disposed at the lower side of the display screen component 20, and the second display area 212 is located on the upper side of the first display area 211.

In addition, in other examples, the number of knob assemblies 31 may also be two, and the two knob assemblies 31 are respectively correspondingly disposed on the middle and side parts of the display screen assembly 20 (both the left and the right are both). Of course, it can be understood that the two knob assemblies 30 may also be located on the left and right sides or the upper and lower sides of the display screen assembly 20 respectively. In addition, in some embodiments, the input component 30 may also be disposed on the four corners of the display screen component 20, for example, the upper left corner, the upper right corner, the lower left corner, or the lower right corner are provided.

In some embodiments, the knob assembly 31 may not form the first through hole 310. Instead, the area in the middle of the knob assembly 31 corresponding to the first display area 211 may be made of a light-transmitting material to form the above-mentioned transparent part, or The outer parts of the entire knob assembly 31 are made of light-transmitting materials, that is, the first housing 311, the second housing 312, the mounting ring 313, and the decorative cover 316 are all light-transmitting, and then the first display area 211 corresponds to Ink is applied to other positions to form the above-mentioned transparent part.

In some embodiments, in order to improve the aesthetics and user experience of the household appliance 1000 and the interactive component 100, a transparent block matching the first through hole 310 may also be placed in the first through hole 310 to form the above-mentioned transparent part. A display area 211 is displayed through the transparent block.

In some embodiments, the above-mentioned display screen 21 may not have a touch function, and the user can adjust the display content of the display screen and adjust various parameters of the home appliance 1000 when the household appliance 1000 is working through the input component 30.

The interaction method of the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below. The interaction method of the embodiment of the present invention is used in the interaction component 100 of the above embodiment. Refer to Figure 30, the interactive method includes steps:
