PLUGGABLE MULTIFUNCTIONAL PUSH SWITCH
The present invention provides a pluggable multifunctional push switch, comprising: a main socket, a transmission opening disposed on a bottom wall of the main socket; a sliding base, slid up and down in the main socket; a pressing signal assembly, the sliding base triggering a pressing signal after being pressed downward; a keycap, fixed on the sliding base; an integrated circuit board, disposed into the sliding base and having a downwardly extended transmission member, wherein a bottom end of the transmission member has a plug-in portion; a fixed base, disposed on the integrated circuit board; a display, disposed on the fixed base; and a touchpad, located under the keycap. The pluggable transmission concept is further used in the present invention, so that the switch can be more easily disassembled and easily transferred to another device for use.
Control devices having independently suspended buttons for controlled actuation
A control device includes a button assembly having one or more buttons and a button carrier that includes a plurality of resilient, independently deflectable spring arms. The control device may be configured as a wall-mounted keypad to control a load control device, or as a thermostat to control a temperature regulation appliance. The button carrier may be configured to prevent interference between the buttons during operation of the control device. The button assembly may be captured between a faceplate of the control device and a housing that is attached to a rear side of the faceplate. The control device may include one or more button retainers that are attached to the buttons and that are configured to align respective outer surfaces of the buttons relative to each other, and relative to the faceplate of the control device, when the buttons are in respective rest positions.
KEYBOARD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
A keyboard includes a bottom plate, a circuit board disposed on the bottom plate, and a plurality of keys disposed on a side that is of the circuit board and that is away from the bottom plate. Each key includes a keycap, a rise-and-fall component connecting the keycap to the bottom plate, and an electronic ink screen fastened on a side that is of the keycap and that is away from the rise-and-fall component. A first electric conductor connected to the electronic ink screen is disposed on the keycap, a second electric conductor is disposed on the rise-and-fall component, and a third electric conductor is disposed on the bottom plate. A signal line used to supply power to the electronic ink screen is disposed on the circuit board.
ILLUMINATED KEYBOARD AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
An illuminated keyboard includes a light-emitting diode light string, a controller, a feedback line and a plurality of keys. The light-emitting diode light string includes a plurality of light-emitting diode modules which are connected in series through a serial connection wire. Each light-emitting diode module includes a light-emitting diode chip and a drive circuit. The controller is electrically connected with the light-emitting diode light string. The feedback line is electrically connected between the light-emitting diode modules and the controller. The keys correspond to the light-emitting diode modules and are electrically connected with the feedback line. Each light-emitting diode module emits light according to a received light-emitting signal and outputs a feedback signal. When at least one of the keys is switched to a pressing state, the feedback signal is pulled from a first level to a second level for the controller to differentiate the key in the pressing state.
JOYSTICK MODULE
A joystick module includes a main body, a light guide structure and a light source. The main body includes at least one hollow region. The light guide structure is disposed within the main body. The light guide structure includes a first light guide part and a second light guide part with different transmittances. The first light guide part has a light output surface exposed outside the hollow region. The second light guide part has a light input surface. The light source is disposed within the main body and located beside the light input surface of the second light guide part. After the light source emits a light beam, the light beam is introduced into the light guide structure through the light input surface of the second light guide part and exited from the at least one light output surface of the first light guide part.
SAFETY APPARATUS HAVING TERMINAL SHIELD WITH INDICATION CIRCUIT, AND CIRCUIT INTERRUPTION APPARATUS
A safety apparatus is a terminal shield having an indication circuit incorporated therein. The safety apparatus is usable with a circuit interrupter to overlie one or more terminals of the circuit interrupter that are connected with line and load conductors and to thereby form a circuit interrupter apparatus. The safety apparatus can be employed at the line side of a circuit interrupter, at the load side of a circuit interrupter, or at both sides of a circuit interrupter. The safety apparatus can be provided as part of a new circuit interrupter apparatus or can be provided to retrofit existing circuit interrupters. The indication circuit advantageously outputs from a top surface of the terminal shield one of a visual indication and an audible indication when one or more terminals of the circuit interrupter are electrified, thereby easily conveying to a technician the portions of the circuit interrupter that are electrified.
KEYBOARD BACKLIGHT MODULE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF
A keyboard backlight module includes a light-guiding sheet, a circuit board, a light-emitting element, a reflective sheet and a release film. The circuit board is located on a surface of the light-guiding sheet, and the reflective sheet is located on another surface of the light-guiding sheet opposite to the circuit board. The light-emitting element is located between the circuit board and the light-guiding sheet, and disposed on the circuit board. The light-emitting element emits light into the light-guiding sheet. The release film is located on the light-guiding sheet and the circuit board, and transfers a glue layer on the surface of the light-guiding sheet. The light-guiding sheet includes a plurality of illuminated patterns, and the keyboard backlight module adjusts the illumination uniformity of the light through the reflective sheet, the glue layer and the plurality of illuminated patterns.
