Light dimmer with touch-sensitive control and display of adjustment mode change
First Claim
1. A touch-sensitive dimmer, configured to be electrically coupled to an illumination load to adjust an illuminance of the illumination load, comprising:
- a hollow body;
a power source printed circuit board assembly disposed inside the body;
a control printed circuit board assembly;
a touch-sensitive display panel;
touch-sensing components and a display element disposed on the control printed circuit board assembly;
wherein the display element is configured to display changes among multiple different illumination load adjustment modes based on trigger signals generated by a first one of the touch-sensing components, wherein the different illumination load adjustment modes define different amounts of illuminance adjustment of the illumination load corresponding to a predefined action of a second one of the touch-sensing components, and wherein the control printed circuit board assembly is configured to, in response to each predefined action of the second one of the touch-sensing components, adjust the illuminance of the illumination load by an amount that is defined by a currently displayed one of the multiple different illumination load adjustment modes; and
wherein the touch-sensitive display panel includes touch keys which correspond to the touch-sensing components and a display window which corresponds to the display element, and is assembled with the control printed circuit board assembly.

Abstract
A touch-sensitive dimmer, configured to be electrically coupled to an illumination load to adjust an illuminance of the illumination load. It includes a hollow body, a power source printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) disposed inside the body, a control PCBA, and a touch-sensitive display panel, touch-sensing components and a display element disposed on the control PCBA. The display element displays changes of illumination load adjustment modes based on trigger signals generated by the touch-sensing components. The touch-sensitive display panel includes touch keys which correspond to the touch-sensing components and a display window which corresponds to the display element, and is assembled with the control printed circuit board assembly. The touch-sensitive dimmer combines touch-sensing functions and display screen functions to achieve intelligent control. By incorporating a wireless communication module, the dimmer can further achieve remote by a remote control device.

7. A touch-sensitive dimmer, configured to be electrically coupled to an illumination load to adjust an illuminance of the illumination load, comprising:
-
a power source module; a microcontroller unit (MCU) control module; a display module; a touch-sensing control circuit module; and an illuminance control circuit module; the power source module, the MCU module, the display module, the touch-sensing control circuit module and the illuminance control circuit module being coupled to each other; wherein the display module is configured to display, based on a first trigger signal generated by the touch-sensing control circuit module, changes among multiple different illumination load adjustment modes, wherein the different illumination load adjustment modes define different amounts of illuminance adjustment of the illumination load corresponding to a second trigger signal generated by the touch-sensing control circuit module, and wherein the MCU control module is configured to, in response to each second trigger signal, control the illuminance control circuit module to adjust the illuminance of the illumination load by an amount that is defined by a currently displayed one of the multiple different illumination load adjustment modes. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
