Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of remote control keys with touch panels, in particular to a remote control key with a touch panel and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The remote control key utilizes the wireless remote control function of the central locking system and can remotely open and lock the door without inserting the key into the keyhole.

[0003] Existing remote control keys with touch panels have the following disadvantages:

[0004] 1. Since the remote control key may run out of power or malfunction during use, most remote control keys with touch panels are equipped with a manual key inside. In order to save space, the manual key can be folded. However, frequent folding will cause the hinge hole of the manual key to become larger due to wear, resulting in the manual key shaking or becoming unable to fold.

[0005] 2. The wearing method cannot be changed. Since the touch panel of the remote control key with a touch panel is relatively fragile and can be easily damaged by hard objects such as keys, it is not suitable to be placed together with ordinary door lock keys.

[0006] Therefore, we make improvements to this and propose a remote control key with a touch panel and a control method thereof. Summary of the Invention

[0039] Furthermore, the self-locking device 210 includes a second slider 2101, and a lock tongue 2102 is fixedly provided on the side of the second slider 2101 close to the first fixed block 2001. The interior of the second fixed block 2002 is respectively provided with a first sliding cavity 2109 and a second sliding cavity 2110. The second slider 2101 is slidingly connected to the first sliding cavity 2109, and the lock tongue 2102 passes through the inner wall of the fixing belt 2003 and extends to the outside of the second fixed block 2002. A lock hole 2103 is provided on the side of the limiting slide rail 2004 close to the lock tongue 2102, and the lock tongue 2102 and the lock hole 2103 are clearance-matched.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 The remote control key with a touch panel and its control method include a main body 10 and a wearable device 20. The processing method includes the following steps:

[0045] Step S100 , inputting commands via the touch panel 1003 to remotely control the central locking system of the vehicle to open and close the vehicle doors.

[0046] By clicking the unlock door icon on the touch panel 1003, a command can be sent to the vehicle's center console via a wireless communicator, and the vehicle can be remotely controlled to open and close the door.

[0047] Step S200 , inputting a command via the touch panel 1003 to remotely control the car to start the automatic driving function and drive to the owner's side.

[0048] By clicking the automatic move to front icon on the touch panel 1003, a command can be sent to the vehicle's center console via the wireless communicator, and the vehicle can be remotely controlled to start the unmanned driving function, locate the position of the key 1104 via GPS, and then move to the position of the owner holding the key 1104.

[0049] Step S300: Press the portion of the key 1104 extending outward to cause the key 1104 to automatically pop out.

[0050] By pressing the part of the key 1104 that extends outward, the internal self-locking device 210 of the device can be triggered and unlocked, thereby causing the key 1104 to pop out. Pushing the key 1104 can cause it to retract into the device.

[0051] Step S400: insert the limiting slider 2005 into the limiting slide rail 2004 to fix the fixing belt 2003 so that it can be worn on the wrist.

[0052] The fixing strap 2003 can be fixed on the wrist by inserting the limiting slider 2005 into the limiting rail 2004, and the limiting rail 2004 can be self-locked and fixed by the self-locking device 210. When the wrist is no longer needed, the self-locking device 210 can be unlocked by pressing the button 2108, and the fixing strap 2003 can be removed.

[0053] The specific workflow is as follows:

[0054] By default, the key 1104 is retracted inside the lower shell 1001 and the upper shell 1002. In this state, the sliding pin of the connecting rod 1105 is located in the first limit opening 1109. When the user needs to use the manual key 1104, the user presses the part of the key 1104 extending outside the lower shell 1001, so that the key 1104 pushes the first slider 1102 to slide inward. The sliding of the key 1104 causes the sliding rod of the connecting rod 1105 to contact the third guide opening 1110, and swing to one side under the guidance of the third guide opening 1110, thereby being pushed out of the first limit opening 1109, and then the first spring 1106 pushes the first slider 1102 to move through the elastic force. The movement of the first slider 1102 drives the key 1104 to extend outward, and causes the sliding pin of the connecting rod 1105 to slide into the second limit opening 1111. When it is necessary to tighten the key 1104 inside the upper shell 1002, push the key 1104 so that the key 1104 retracts inward, and the key 1104 drives the first slider 1102 to move inward. The movement of the first slider 1102 causes the sliding pin of the connecting rod 1105 to swing to one side under the guidance of the first guide opening 1107, so that the sliding pin of the connecting rod 1105 enters the second guide opening 1108, and enters the first limit opening 1109 under the guidance of the second guide opening 1108, and under the action of the elastic force of the first spring 1106, the first limit opening 1109 locks the sliding pin of the connecting rod 1105. When the user needs to wear the device on the wrist, the user first inserts the limiting slider 2005 into the limiting slide rail 2004 from one side of the first fixing block 2001, and then slides the second fixing block 2002 so that the lock tongue 2102 slides into the lock hole 2103. Then, the elastic force of the second spring 2105 keeps the lock tongue 2102 extended, thereby fixing the second fixing block 2002, so that the user can wear it on the wrist through the fixing strap 2003. When the user wants to remove the fixing belt 2003, he presses the button 2108, and the button 2108 slides downward, driving the third slider 2106 to slide downward, and the third slider 2106 slides downward, driving the second wedge block 2107 to slide downward. Since the first wedge block 2104 and the second wedge block 2107 are engaged with each other, the second wedge block 2107 slides downward and squeezes the first wedge block 2104 to move toward the side of the second spring 2105. The movement of the first wedge block 2104 drives the second slider 2101 and the lock tongue 2102 to move, causing the lock tongue 2102 to retract, thereby unlocking the second fixing block 2002. Then the user slides the second fixing block 2002 again to exit the limiting slide rail 2004, thereby completing the disassembly of the fixing belt 2003.
