Description

Gesture-sensing self-adjusting rechargeable hand warmer Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of heating devices, and in particular relates to a gesture-sensing self-adjusting rechargeable hand warmer. Background Art

[0002] Hand warmers are tools that people often use to resist the cold winter. Usually, hand warmers only have basic heating functions and lack ornamental value. Some hand warmers are designed into various artistic shapes to meet people's ornamental needs, but such artistic shapes are generally fixed, and the devices generally only use mechanical contact buttons. As the button components age, the buttons wear out and cannot be identified, or the buttons become loose, resulting in poor contact, or even damage, which affects the service life of the entire hand warmer. In addition, this traditional button control method is not user-friendly enough and lacks the fun of human-computer interaction. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, a gesture-sensing self-adjustable rechargeable hand warmer is proposed, which has strong ornamental value, interesting human-computer interaction and can extend the service life of the hand warmer.

[0004] A gesture-sensing self-adjustable rechargeable hand warmer comprises a shell, a plurality of functional components housed in the shell, and a gesture-sensing component. The exterior of the shell comprises a transparent cover and a rear shell, the interior of the shell comprises an upper shell bracket and a bottom shell, the upper shell bracket and the bottom shell dividing the interior of the shell into three layers. The first layer comprises a simulated charcoal matrix and a backlight module between the transparent cover and the upper shell bracket. The backlight module comprises a backlight panel and a lighting component arranged at the edge of the backlight panel. The second layer comprises the gesture-sensing component, a circuit board and a battery between the upper shell bracket and the bottom shell. The third layer comprises a heating component between the bottom shell and the rear shell. The gesture-sensing component comprises a lens, a gesture-sensing bracket, a light shield, a gesture-sensing sensor and a digital tube. The gesture-sensing sensor is connected to the digital tube via the gesture-sensing bracket. The gesture-sensing component stores a preset specific gesture image. When the gesture-sensing component senses the specific gesture image, it can send an electrical signal through the circuit board to drive the lighting component to adjust the light intensity, change the color or execute a switch command.

[0005] Furthermore, in the internal space of the second layer, the gesture sensing component is installed on the circuit board, the top of the upper shell bracket has a hole corresponding to the position of the gesture sensing component and extends upward with a wedge-shaped thin wall, the wedge-shaped thin wall wraps and fits the circumference of the gesture sensing component, and the battery is placed in the bottom shell.

[0006] Furthermore, the lens is a translucent wedge-shaped lens, and covers the gesture sensing bracket, the light shield, the gesture sensing sensor and the digital tube.

[0007] Furthermore, in the first layer of space, the lighting assembly includes a plurality of point light sources and light strips, and the number of the light strips is two, which are respectively distributed on the two long sides of the backlight panel.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper surface of the upper shell bracket is provided with four short arc-shaped fixing strips for fixing the backlight panel on the upper shell bracket, and the simulated charcoal matrix is ​​attached to the bottom surface of the transparent cover.

[0009] Furthermore, the simulated charcoal matrix is ​​a shell-like structure, the front side of which is a convex irregular charcoal shape, and the back side of which is a concave irregular charcoal shape corresponding to the convex charcoal shape. The simulated charcoal matrix is ​​made of a translucent material, or the simulated charcoal matrix is ​​made of a transparent material and its front side is painted with pigment.

[0010] Furthermore, in the inner space of the third layer, the heating component includes a heating sticker, and the heating sticker is adhered to the bottom of the bottom shell.

[0011] Furthermore, a button assembly and a Type-C interface are also included on the outside of the shell.

[0012] Furthermore, the transparent cover and the upper shell bracket are engaged with each other through a protrusion groove, the upper shell bracket and the bottom shell are connected through a connecting column, and the bottom shell and the rear shell are glued into one body.

[0013] Furthermore, the transparent cover, the simulated charcoal matrix, the upper shell bracket and the bottom shell are all made of high-temperature resistant plastic materials, and the rear shell is made of aluminum alloy.

[0014] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: through the combination of the simulated charcoal matrix and the backlight module, the simulated effect of charcoal burning can be seen on the transparent cover, and then the light intensity or color can be adjusted through the gesture sensing component. The simulated effect of charcoal burning can produce rich visual changes and strong ornamental value. When using the gesture sensing component to adjust the light changes or switches, there is no need to directly contact the button component of the hand warming device, so the frequency of use of the button component is reduced, the service life of the button component is increased, and thus the service life of the hand warming device is increased. Different gesture changes drive the visual changes of the hand warming device, and also bring more and more interesting human-computer interaction experience. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The first layer includes a simulated charcoal matrix 101 and a backlight module 50 between the transparent cover 10 and the upper housing bracket 20. The backlight module 50 includes a backlight panel. 501 and a lighting assembly 502 arranged at the edge of the backlight panel 501, the second layer includes the gesture sensing assembly 60, the circuit board 80 and the battery 801 between the upper shell bracket 20 and the bottom shell 30, the third layer includes the heating assembly 70 between the bottom shell 30 and the rear shell 40, the gesture sensing assembly 60 includes a lens 601, a gesture sensing bracket 602, a light shield 603, a gesture sensing sensor 604 and a digital tube 605, and the gesture sensing sensor 604 is connected to the digital tube 605 through the gesture sensing bracket 602.

[0025] The lens 601 acts as a filter to filter out light interference in the environment and improve the accuracy of gesture recognition. The gesture sensing component 60 stores preset specific gesture images. When the gesture sensing sensor 604 senses the specific gesture image through the lens 601, it can send an electrical signal to the circuit board 80 through the digital tube 605 to drive the lighting component 502 to adjust the light intensity, change the color, or execute a switch command. Specific gesture images include moving the palm up, down, left, right, forward, and backward, rotating clockwise and counterclockwise, hovering at a specific position for a few seconds, and waving.

[0026] Specifically, in the internal space of the second layer, the gesture sensing component 60 is installed on the circuit board 80, the top of the upper shell bracket 20 has a hole corresponding to the position of the gesture sensing component 60 and extends upward with a wedge-shaped thin wall, the wedge-shaped thin wall wraps and fits the circumference of the gesture sensing component 60, and the battery 801 is placed in the bottom shell 30.

[0028] Specifically, in the first layer of space, the lighting assembly 502 includes a number of point light sources and light strips. There are at least two light strips, which are distributed on both sides of the backlight panel 501 and can also surround the backlight panel 501. Preferably, the light strips can be arranged inside the backlight panel 501 structure, and the entire backlight panel 501 becomes a light-emitting body.
