Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted electronic equipment, and in particular to a vehicle-mounted panoramic parking system and a wireless remote controller thereof. Background Art

[0002] A panoramic image parking assistance system, also known as a "surround view system" or "360-degree panoramic visual parking system," uses the vehicle's display screen to view surrounding camera images during parking, helping the driver understand blind spots around the vehicle and making parking more intuitive and convenient. A panoramic image parking assistance system typically consists of cameras, sensors, and a system host. Users can operate the system host to configure settings or display parking images.

[0003] To facilitate user control of the system, current 360-degree panoramic parking systems utilize infrared handheld remote controls. These remote controls consist of an infrared transmitter that works in conjunction with an infrared receiver installed in the vehicle to control the system. However, infrared remote controls require directional control; the remote must be aimed at the receiver. The infrared receiver also requires a concealed installation, which prevents signal reception. Furthermore, due to the unique in-vehicle environment, the remote control should assist the driver while driving and not distract them. However, existing remote controls have numerous, small buttons, requiring both hand and eye control to press each button, which can easily distract the driver while operating the system.

[0029] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present invention provides an exemplary embodiment, a wireless remote controller of a vehicle-mounted panoramic parking system, including a housing and a circuit board 4; the circuit board 4 is built inside the housing;

[0031] The circuit board 4 is further provided with a control circuit and a wireless communication circuit; the wireless communication circuit uses radio electromagnetic waves as a transmission medium;

[0032] The housing can be disassembled into a control face cover 1 and a bottom case 7; the control face cover 1 is provided with control keys, and the control keys are correspondingly connected to the control circuit of the circuit board 4; the bottom case is provided with a joint part for mounting on a vehicle.

[0033] In the first embodiment, the control face cover 1 is provided with control keys, and the control keys are correspondingly connected to the control circuit of the circuit board 4, specifically:

[0034] The circuit board 4 is provided with rotary encoder keys; the rotary encoder keys include an encoder body 8 and a rotary handle 9;

[0035] The control key is connected to the rotary handle 9.

[0036] It can be understood that when a specific operation is performed on the rotary handle 9, the encoder body 8 will interpret the operation action as a control instruction, thereby generating a control instruction.

[0038] The control face cover 1 is a rotatable top case in the shape of a cylinder, the top case is fixed to the rotary handle 9, and the top case and the bottom case 7 are combined into a knob-shaped housing.

[0039] It can be understood that by inserting the rotary handle 9 into a groove inside the top case or other combination methods, the rotary handle 9 and the top case can be fixed together, so that the entire top case becomes a rotatable or twistable control key. When the control key is rotated or twisted, the entire cylindrical top case rotates, driving the rotary handle 9 to rotate.

[0040] As a second embodiment, the control key is connected to the rotary handle 9, specifically:

[0041] The control key is a rotary key or a twist key and is a wheel-shaped rotating component;

[0044] When the control key is rotated or twisted, the control key rotates, and the control face cover 1 remains stationary; the wheel-shaped rotating component of the control key drives the rotary handle 9 to rotate.

[0045] Preferably, the control surface cover 1 is a pressable panel or is provided with buttons.

[0046] It is understandable that when the control surface cover 1 is pressed, the handle end of the rotating handle 9 is connected to the control key of the wheel-shaped rotating component, and the control key of the wheel-shaped rotating component is unlocked to drive the rotating handle 9 to rotate.

[0047] In this embodiment, the wireless remote control of the vehicle-mounted panoramic parking system is in the shape of a knob or a drum, which is simple and beautiful. At the same time, the remote control has only a few operation modes: left rotation, right rotation, and press (combination operations can be performed, such as long press, short press, press to rotate left, press to rotate right, etc.), which simplifies operation and control. There is no need to look at the buttons to control, freeing up eyes during operation to avoid distracting driving attention.

[0053] As will be understood, the circuit board 4 is secured to the intermediate housing 6 via first and second screws 2 and 3; the intermediate housing 6 is snap-fitted to the bottom housing 7. The bottom housing 7 and the intermediate housing 6 are designed to be removable, allowing for easy removal of the bottom housing 7 to replace the button battery 5. To install the button battery 5, insert the battery 5 from the bottom of the intermediate housing 6 and replace the bottom housing 7 after the button battery 5 is installed.

[0054] The present invention further provides an exemplary embodiment, a vehicle-mounted panoramic parking system, comprising a system host, a receiver, and any wireless remote controller of the vehicle-mounted panoramic parking system described above;

[0055] The receiver is connected to the control interface of the system host; the receiver and the wireless remote controller of the vehicle-mounted panoramic parking system are connected via radio.

[0056] In this embodiment, the remote controller and the corresponding receiver have a pairing function, which can prevent multiple remote controllers from interfering with each other.

[0057] See Figure 2 The present invention provides a vehicle-mounted panoramic parking system and a wireless remote controller therefor. The wireless remote controller comprises a housing and a circuit board 4, which is embedded within the housing. The circuit board 4 includes a wireless communication circuit that uses radio electromagnetic waves as a transmission medium. Leveraging the advantages of radio electromagnetic waves, such as long-range propagation, non-directionality, and strong anti-interference properties, the wireless remote controller can send control signals to the system host without regard for direction or position.
