The control panel is an integrated button system that perfectly combines panel decoration, display windows and operating buttons.
Control panels can be mainly divided into two categories: one is a flexible panel, which is made of PC or PET film. The surface can be made smooth or frosted. The buttons of the flexible panel can be made flat or in a spherical convex state. The flexible panel and the flexible PCB below form a key switch.
The other is to use thicker PC or PMMA acrylic to make the panel. The surface of the panel is smooth and flat. The back of the panel is equipped with a capacitive touch sensing control switch circuit board. The switch function is triggered by lightly touching the button area on the panel surface, which is equivalent to the effect of a touch screen.
PMMA acrylic panel with hardened surface is scratch-resistant and wear-resistant. The left side of the panel is the sensor card swiping area, the upper right side of the panel is a highly transparent display window, and the lower right side is where multiple rows of buttons are located, which can be equipped with silicone buttons or plastic buttons.
The display control panel of the electronic temperature controller is made of transparent PC material. The display window of the panel is completely transparent, and key positions are reserved to facilitate the mechanical buttons to protrude from the holes during assembly.
The control panel on the electronic door lock of smart home products is made of hardened PMMA acrylic material, and the surface of the panel is scratch-resistant and wear-resistant. Translucent digital buttons activate the digital luminous display, and there is a sensor card swiping area reserved on the panel.
The control panel has remarkable features such as easy and fast installation, reliable and stable quality, rich and beautiful panel colors, and prominent functional markings. It also has good wear resistance, waterproof, fireproof, dustproof, and harmful gas erosion prevention functions. Therefore, control panels have quickly replaced traditional mechanical switches and are widely used in household appliances, office equipment, instrumentation, machine tool equipment, medical equipment, electromechanical products, industrial controls, toys and other products.
The control panel on the kitchen electrical equipment is made of hardened PMMA acrylic material. The surface of the panel is scratch-resistant and wear-resistant, and the position of the knob switch is reserved. There is a translucent black display window on the panel. When the device is turned off, the display window is invisible. When the device is turned on, the LCD screen below the display window glows, and the display window is fully displayed.
The control panel on the smart door lock is made of milky white translucent PMMA acrylic, with a white LED light underneath the panel. When night comes, the panel will emit a soft white light to guide the owner to find the switch position.
The control panel on the handheld communication device has a hardened surface that is scratch-resistant and wear-resistant. There is a fully transparent display window and touch-controlled digital buttons on the panel. The entire panel has a curved arc shape, which makes the product have a stronger sense of technology after installation.
