HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE AND CONTROL ASSEMBLY THEREOF
The present disclosure provides a household appliance and a control assembly which includes a control panel, a display screen and a power switch. The display screen is arranged on the control panel and can move relative to the control panel. The power switch is connected to the control panel and/or the display screen for controlling the power-on and power-off of the household appliance. When the display screen is pressed, the display screen moves relative to the control panel and controls the power-on or power-off of the power switch. By pressing the display screen to control the power-on and power-off of the power switch, a complete power-off can be achieved to eliminate the drawbacks of weak power and incomplete power-off of the touch-sensitive power switch, and the arrangement of a power switch key is omitted, therefore the operation and the overall appearance of the household appliance is simplified.
Compression activated switch device for LED circuit boards
Various embodiments of a compression activated switch device for holding light emitting packages are provided. The device includes an electrical switch configured to operatively couple between a light emitting package and a power source. The light emitting package includes a light emitting element on a support, the electrical switch biased to an open position from a closed position. The compression activated switch also includes a coupling component configured to couple the light emitting package to a structure and a biasing element biasing against coupling the light emitting package to the structure with a predetermined force, wherein in response to a force being applied to the coupling component sufficient to overcome the predetermined force the electric switch moves to the closed position. Visual or audible feedback may be provided upon the application of the predetermined amount of force.
Illumination switch
A light guide body rotates integrally with an operation knob, has an incident surface that is a concavely curved surface recessed to a side opposite to a light source side, and rotates about a rotation shaft located so as to intersect the incident surface of the light guide body. The incident surface of the light guide body is a concavely curved surface recessed toward the side opposite to the light source (toward a Z1 direction) on a cross-section taken along an X-Z plane.
Intelligent lighting control system learning exclusion apparatuses, systems, and methods
The present disclosure provides an intelligent lighting control system. The lighting control system includes a module housing, a graphical user interface coupled to the module housing and a switch control circuit positioned in the housing and including a processor. The processor is configured to modulate the flow of electrical energy to a lighting circuit via a dimmer circuit. The switch control circuit is electrically connected to the graphical user interface. The processor is also configured to identify a device identification address compare the identified device address with one or more registered identification addresses saved in a dataset. The processor is configured to catalogue a command received at the processor and at least one event parameter detected contemporaneously with receipt of the command, if the identified proximate device identification address corresponds to one of the one or more registered device identification addresses saved in the dataset.
Toggle switch and switch device
A toggle switch includes a first substrate, a lever, an operation knob, and a light guide. The first substrate includes a first contact, a second contact, and a light source. The lever is configured to pivot in a thickness-wise direction of the first substrate and contact one of the first contact and the second contact. The operation knob is attached to the lever and includes a light outlet. The operation knob receives light, guides the light, and emits the light out of the light outlet. The light guide guides light emitted from the light source to the light outlet. The lever includes a metal plate and a resin plate into which the metal plate is inserted. The resin plate includes an attachment groove that extends in the thickness-wise direction of the first substrate. The light guide is attached to the attachment groove.
INTELLIGENT LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM APPARATUSES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS
The present disclosure provides an intelligent lighting control system for temporarily opening a circuit in the system. The lighting control system includes a light switch module including a switch control circuit. The switch control circuit includes a processor configured to modulate the flow of electrical energy to the lighting circuit via a dimmer circuit to produce a plurality of lighting scenes by varying the illumination of the light bulb. The processor is, in response to receipt of a control command to discontinue illumination of the light bulb, configured to cause, for a first pre-specified period of time, the amperage of the current flowing from an alternating current power supply to the power circuit to be reduced, and open, for the first pre-specified period of time, the electrical connection between the switch control circuit and an electrical connector.
