Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of self-generating technology, and in particular to a self-generating remote control and toilet. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are remote controls on the market that can generate their own electricity. When a user presses a button on the remote, the internal power generation module is triggered and generates electricity. The electricity generated by the power generation module can be used by the remote itself; for example, this electricity can enable the remote to emit radio frequency signals.

[0003] Some self-generating remote controls use piezoelectric generator modules. When a button is pressed by the user, the piezoelectric generator module is pressed and vibrates, thus generating electricity. However, in existing technology, the installation method of the piezoelectric generator module is unreasonable. The vibration of the piezoelectric generator module can be hindered by the remote control's housing or other components, resulting in poor power generation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0040] In the description of this invention, "multiple" refers to two or more. The use of "first" and "second" is for distinguishing technical features only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features or their sequential relationship.

[0041] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set up," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The self-generating remote control 100 of the present invention includes a base 101, a button 102, a power generation module 211, and a holding assembly 203. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the base 101 is provided with a module mounting slot 509. (As indicated...) Figure 5 As shown, the power generation module 211 is installed in the module mounting slot 509, and there is a vibration gap 214 between the power generation module 211 and the bottom wall of the module mounting slot 509. Figure 1 As shown, button 102 is movably connected to base 101, with at least a portion of button 102 protruding from base 101 to allow the user to touch and press button 102. The holding assembly 203 includes a pressure plate 205 and an elastic member 206. One side of the pressure plate 205 is opposite to button 102, and the power generation module 211 is located on the other side of the pressure plate 205. The pressure plate 205 is movably connected to base 101, and both ends of the elastic member 206 are connected to the pressure plate 205 and the power generation module 211, respectively. The movable connection between the pressure plate 205 and base 101, and the installation method of the elastic member 206, will be described in detail below. Button 102 can drive the holding assembly 203 to deform the power generation module 211, and the elastic force of the elastic member 206 is used to drive the pressure plate 205 and button 102 to move away from the power generation module 211 and reset.

[0043] For the specific structure of module mounting slot 509, please refer to Figure 10 .like Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the base 101 includes a main body 504 and an arcuate rib 508. The arcuate rib 508 is connected to the main body 504 and protrudes relative to the main body 504. The arcuate rib 508 and the main body 504 together define a module mounting groove 509. A stepped surface 510 is provided on the inner side of the arcuate rib 508. The edge of the power generation module 211 overlaps on the stepped surface 510. The central area of ​​the power generation module 211 and the bottom wall of the module mounting groove 509 together define a vibration gap 214.

[0044] The button 102 and the pressure plate 205 are positioned opposite each other so that at least a portion of the projection of the button 102 can fall on the pressure plate 205 along the thickness direction of the power generation module 211 (the projection is made after removing the components located between the button 102 and the pressure plate 205). The button 102 drives the holding component 203. Specifically, after the button 102 is pressed, the button 102 directly abuts against the holding component 203, and the button 102 squeezes the holding component 203; or the button 102 first abuts against an intermediate component (for example, the sealing cover 202, which will be described below), and then indirectly squeezes the holding component 203 through the intermediate component.

[0045] Figure 5 and Figure 6 The movement of button 102 when pressed by a user is shown. Figure 5 The middle button 102 was not pressed. Figure 6 In the middle, when button 102 is pressed by the user, the front end of button 102 rotates downward relative to the rear end. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the button may include a first trigger portion 301 for pressing the holding component 203. (Comparison) Figure 5 and Figure 6 When button 102 is pressed, the first trigger part 301 also moves downward. The downward movement of the first trigger part 301 will cause the pressure plate 205 of the pressing component 203 to move downward. After the pressure plate 205 moves downward, the pressing component 203 will also move downward as a whole, thereby causing the power generation module 211 to deform. Figure 5 and Figure 6 Not all components of the pressing assembly 203 are shown in detail, nor is the specific connection between the pressing assembly 203 and the power generation module 211 shown. How the movement of the pressing plate 205 causes the deformation of the power generation module 211 will be explained in detail below. It should be noted that... Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In fact, they are all Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the self-generating remote controller 100, but Figures 4 to 6 The selected cross-sections are different; Figure 4 The selected cross-section passes through the center of the power generation module 211, and Figure 5 and Figure 6 The selected section passes through the center of a certain first trigger part 301.

[0046] The power generation module 211 can be configured as a piezoelectric power generation module. When the user presses down on the button 102, the first trigger part 301 pushes the holding component 203 to move, thereby pressing down the holding component 203. The pressed holding component 203 presses down on the power generation module 211, causing the power generation module 211 to undergo a certain deformation. When the user releases the button 102 and resets the button 102 and the holding component 203, the power generation module 211 will also return from the deformed state to the initial state. During the recovery process, the power generation module 211 will vibrate, thereby generating electrical energy. The internal structure and power generation principle of the piezoelectric power generation module are well-known technologies in the field, and will not be described in detail in this invention.

[0047] Because there is a vibration gap 214 between the power generation module 211 and the bottom wall of the module mounting slot 509, sufficient space is reserved in the module mounting slot 509 for the power generation module 211 to vibrate. Furthermore, an elastic element 206 is provided on the other side of the power generation module 211. When the power generation module 211 needs to vibrate, the elastic element 206 can adaptably extend and retract. The elastic element 206 provides minimal resistance to the vibration of the power generation module 211, and is less likely to restrict the power generation effect of the power generation module 211. Therefore, in the self-generating remote controller 100 of the present invention, the vibration of the power generation module 211 is less hindered, and the power generation effect of the power generation module 211 is better.

[0048] The other structures of the self-generating remote controller 100 of the present invention will be described below.

[0049] In one embodiment, multiple buttons 102 are provided. The side of the pressure plate 205 facing away from the power generation module 211 is disposed opposite to the first trigger portion 301 of the button 102, and all the first trigger portions 301 are disposed opposite to the same pressure plate 205 (e.g., Figure 13(As shown). Since all the first trigger parts 301 are arranged opposite to the same pressure plate 205, when any button 102 is pressed by the user, the holding component 203 will be pressed and drive the power generation module 211 to deform or move, thereby driving the power generation module 211 to generate electricity. That is, in the self-generating remote control 100 of the present invention, multiple buttons 102 share one holding component 203 and one power generation module 211. Compared with the prior art remote controls where each button 102 is independently equipped with a holding component 203 and a power generation module 211, the self-generating remote control 100 of the present invention has fewer holding components 203 and power generation modules 211, and the total number of parts in the self-generating remote control 100 is also less. Due to the fewer parts, the self-generating remote control 100 of the present invention has lower cost, smaller size, and higher ease of assembly.

[0050] In one embodiment, the movable connection between the button 102 and the base 101 is a rotatable connection. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the button 102 includes a connecting portion 303, which is columnar and located at one end of the button 102 along its length. Figure 7 As shown, the base 101 is provided with a connecting hole 404. The connecting part 303 can pass through the connecting hole 404 and rotate within the connecting hole 404. In this way, the button 102 can rotate relative to the base 101. The central axis of the connecting hole 404 or the central axis of the connecting part 303 serves as the axis of rotation of the button 102 relative to the base 101.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 In one embodiment, the pressure holding assembly 203 includes a pressure plate 205, an elastic element 206, a button 207, and a connecting bracket 204. In this case, one end of the elastic element 206 is connected to the pressure plate 205 via the connecting bracket 204, and the other end of the elastic element 206 is connected to the power generation module 211 via the button 207. Figure 9 As shown, the pressure plate 205 is movably connected to the base 101. The pressure plate 205 has a mounting hole 501, and the connecting bracket 204 is installed in the mounting hole 501. (Refer to...) Figure 4 The two ends of the elastic element 206 abut against the connecting bracket 204 and the button 207, respectively. The side of the button 207 facing away from the elastic element 206 abuts against the power generation module 211. The side of the pressure plate 205 facing away from the elastic element 206 is positioned opposite to the first trigger part 301. The elastic force of the elastic element 206 drives the pressure plate 205 to move away from the button 207, thereby resetting the pressure plate 205. (Refer to...) Figure 4 The connecting support 204 has a receiving groove 213 on the side facing the elastic member 206, and the end of the elastic member 206 for connecting with the connecting support 204 is disposed in the receiving groove 213. Figure 9As shown, a portion of the connecting bracket 204 protrudes through the mounting hole 501 to the side of the pressure plate 205 opposite to the elastic member 206.

[0052] In this setting, after the user presses button 102, the movement of each component of the holding assembly 203 is roughly as follows. Based on Figure 4 When the pressure plate 205 is pushed downward by the first trigger part 301, the connecting support 204 connected to the pressure plate 205 also moves downward. During the downward movement of the connecting support 204, the compression degree of the elastic element 206 gradually increases. When the pressure plate 205 moves downward, the button 207 also moves downward a certain distance, directly contacting and squeezing the power generation module 211, thereby deforming the power generation module 211. When the user releases the button 102, under the elastic force of the elastic element 206, the pressure plate 205 and the connecting support 204 move away from the button 207 to reset. In addition to driving the pressure plate 205 to reset, the elastic element 206 can also reduce the resistance to the vibration of the power generation module 211.

[0053] In another embodiment, the holding assembly 203 may only include a pressure plate 205, an elastic member 206, and a button 207, and the holding assembly 203 may not have a connecting bracket 204. Accordingly, the pressure plate 205 does not need to have a mounting hole 501 for mounting the connecting bracket 204, and the end of the elastic member 206 away from the button 207 directly abuts against the pressure plate 205. The pressure plate 205 can be formed with a blind hole by stamping, and the end of the elastic member 206 used to connect the pressure plate 205 is directly accommodated in the blind hole. Furthermore, in another embodiment, the button 207 can be omitted, and the elastic member 206 can directly abut against the power generation module 211.

[0054] Comparatively, omitting the connecting bracket 204 and / or button 207 can reduce the number of parts in the holding assembly 203, thereby reducing the total number of parts in the self-generating remote controller 100; while providing the connecting bracket 204 eliminates the need to punch a large blind hole in the pressure plate 205 (the blind hole at the end accommodating the elastic element is replaced by the receiving groove 213 of the connecting bracket 204), which helps to reduce the processing difficulty of the pressure plate 205.

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, in order to save space, the elastic element 206 can be configured as a tower-shaped spring, and the diameter of the end of the elastic element 206 near the power generation module 211 is larger than the diameter of the end of the elastic element 206 away from the power generation module 211.

[0056] Figure 11The shape of a pressure plate 205 in one embodiment is shown. The pressure plate 205 includes a pressure-receiving portion 601, a connecting portion 602, and a rotating shaft portion 603. The length direction of the pressure-receiving portion 601 is the same as the arrangement direction of the first trigger portions 301. All the first trigger portions 301 are arranged opposite to the pressure-receiving portion 601, that is, all the first trigger portions 301 are located above the pressure-receiving portion 601, and the orthographic projection of the first trigger portions 301 all falls on the pressure-receiving portion 601 (meaning the projection is made after removing the components located between the first trigger portions 301 and the pressure-receiving portion 601). One end of the pressure-receiving portion 601 along its width direction is connected to the connecting portion 602. Figure 11 The width of the pressure-bearing part 601 corresponds to the front-to-back direction, and the length of the pressure-bearing part 601 and the connecting part 602 corresponds to the left-to-right direction. The rear end of the pressure-bearing part 601 is connected to the connecting part 602. Figure 11 As shown, the length of the pressure-bearing part 601 is greater than the length of the connecting part 602. This arrangement allows the pressure-bearing part 601 to be long enough so that multiple buttons 102 can drive the deformation of the power generation module 211 through the same pressure plate 205. On the other hand, the shorter connecting part 602 provides more installation space for other components in the self-generating remote control 100. The rotating shaft part 603 is connected to the end of the connecting part 602 away from the pressure-bearing part 601. The rotating shaft part 603 protrudes along the length direction of the pressure-bearing part 601 relative to the connecting part 602. The rotating shaft part 603 is inserted into the base 101, and the pressure plate 205 is rotatably connected to the base 101. It should be noted that the rotating shaft part 603 can be cylindrical or other shapes, as long as the rotating shaft part 603 can rotate relative to the base 101.

[0057] The rotational connection between the tablet press 205 and the base 101 can be combined Figures 9 to 11 To understand. (Refer to...) Figure 10 In one embodiment, the base 101 includes a first connecting block 505 and a second connecting block 506, and the top of the first connecting block 505 is provided with a connecting groove 507. Figures 9 to 11 The pivot 603 is rotatably inserted into the connecting groove 507. The second connecting block 506 abuts against the upper surface of the connecting part 602. The second connecting block 506 is used to limit the pressure plate 205 to prevent the pressure plate 205 from detaching upward from the connecting groove 507. The advantage of this arrangement is that it eliminates the need to connect the pressure plate 205 and the base 101 via hinges or other shafts, which helps to reduce the number of parts in the self-generating remote controller 100.

[0058] Reference Figure 9 In one embodiment, the self-generating remote controller 100 further includes a circuit board 210, which is connected to the base 101 and electrically connected to the power generation module 211. Figure 12As shown, circuit board 210 includes multiple limit switches 209, each limit switch 209 being disposed opposite to a button 102. When button 102 presses the holding component 203, causing the holding component 203 to press the power generation module 211, button 102 triggers the corresponding limit switch 209. For example, see reference... Figure 12 When the user presses the leftmost button 102, the leftmost limit switch 209 is pressed and thus triggered; when the user presses the rightmost button 102, the rightmost limit switch 209 is triggered. The limit switch 209 is triggered by button 102 directly pressing it, or indirectly by button 102 pressing it through an intermediate component.

[0059] When a limit switch 209 is triggered, the circuit board 210 can determine which limit switch 209 has been triggered by the signal output from the limit switch 209, and perform the corresponding operation according to the triggered limit switch 209. For example, after a limit switch 209 is triggered, the circuit board 210 can emit a radio frequency signal (a radio frequency signal transmitter may be provided on the circuit board 210, not specifically shown in the figure), and the device controlled by the self-generating remote controller 100 will operate according to a preset mode; and when different limit switches 209 are triggered, the radio frequency signal emitted by the circuit board 210 can be different.

[0060] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The button 102 also includes a second trigger part 302, which is disposed opposite to the limit switch 209 and is used to trigger the limit switch 209. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the second trigger part 302 is disposed between the first trigger part 301 and the rotation axis of the button 102. That is, the distance between the first trigger part 301 and the rotation axis of the button 102 is greater than the distance between the second trigger part 302 and the rotation axis of the button 102; correspondingly, the limit switch 209 is also closer to the rotation axis of the button 102 than the power generation module 211.

[0061] In this configuration, when the button 102 is pressed and rotated by the user, the first trigger part 301 has a larger travel distance, while the second trigger part 302 has a smaller travel distance. The larger travel distance of the first trigger part 301 means that its movement can cause a larger deformation of the power generation module 211, thereby increasing the vibration amplitude of the power generation module 211 and increasing its power output. Conversely, the smaller travel distance of the second trigger part 302 means that the limit switch 209 can be configured as a switch with a smaller travel distance, thus reducing the cost of the limit switch 209 and the self-generating remote control 100.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, the first trigger part 301 is a hollow quadrangular prism, and the second trigger part 302 is a groove wall. However, the first trigger part 301 and the second trigger part 302 can also be set to other shapes, as long as they can trigger the corresponding components.

[0063] In one embodiment, the self-generating remote controller 100 may include a sealing cover 202 for covering the circuit board 210 and the power generation module 211, preventing the circuit board 210 and the power generation module 211 from malfunctioning due to external moisture ingress. Specifically, refer to... Figure 10 The base 101 includes a main body 504 and a connecting rib 502. The connecting rib 502 is connected to the main body 504 and protrudes from one side surface of the main body 504. Figure 10 As shown, the base 101 may also include a side stop 511, which is shaped and connected to the edge of the main body 504. A connecting rib 502 is disposed on the inner side of the side stop 511. The connecting rib 502 is equivalent to a frame-like rib, and the connecting rib 502 and the main body 504 together define the electrical mounting groove 503, as shown in the figure. Figure 9 The circuit board 210, the holding assembly 203, and the power generation module 211 are all housed within the electrical mounting slot 503 (the module mounting slot 509 is located within the electrical mounting slot 503). The self-generating remote controller 100 also includes a sealing cover 202 and a pressure cover 201, the sealing cover 202 being resilient (e.g., the sealing cover 202 is made of rubber). Figure 8 and Figure 9 The sealing cap 202 is fitted over the connecting rib 502 and covers the electrical mounting groove 503. Combined Figure 7 and Figure 8 The pressure cap 201 is connected to the base 101. The pressure cap 201 covers the side of the sealing cap 202 that is away from the electrical mounting groove 503, and the pressure cap 201 and the connecting rib 502 together clamp the sealing cap 202.

[0064] Because the pressure cap 201 presses against the sealing cap 202 and the sealing cap 202 is elastic, moisture is difficult to enter the electrical mounting groove 503 through the gap between the sealing cap 202 and the pressure cap 201 or the gap between the sealing cap 202 and the connecting rib 502. Moisture is also unlikely to come into contact with the circuit board 210 or the power generation module 211. Therefore, the sealing cap 202 and the pressure cap 201 improve the waterproof effect of the self-generating remote control 100. Furthermore, the pressure cap 201 and the base 101 can be connected by screws to improve the pressing stability of the pressure cap 201 on the sealing cap 202, thereby improving the sealing effect on the electrical mounting groove 503.

[0065] With the pressure cap 201 and sealing cap 202 in place, the first trigger part 301 does not directly contact the pressure plate 205 of the holding assembly 203, and the second trigger part 302 does not directly contact the limit switch 209. The first trigger part 301 indirectly presses the pressure plate 205 through the sealing cap 202, and the second trigger part 302 indirectly presses the limit switch 209 through the sealing cap 202. The advantage of this arrangement is that it eliminates the need for through holes in the sealing cap 202, which improves the sealing effect of the sealing cap 202 and thus enhances the waterproof performance of the self-generating remote control 100.

[0066] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, in order for the first trigger part 301 to press the holding component 203, the pressure cover 201 may be provided with a plurality of clearance holes 401. The clearance holes 401 are disposed opposite to the first trigger part 301, and the first trigger part 301 passes through the clearance holes 401. The sealing cover 202 blocks the first clearance holes 401. (Refer to...) Figure 13 When the user presses button 102, the first trigger part 301 of button 102 passes through the corresponding clearance hole 401 and abuts against the sealing cover 202; the first trigger part 301 abuts against the sealing cover 202 and moves downward, causing the sealing cover 202 to deform, thereby driving the pressure plate 205 to move downward. It should be noted that... Figure 8 In the middle, the sealing cover 202 is also provided with a pressing groove 405. Each pressing groove 405 is disposed opposite to a first trigger part 301. After passing through the clearance hole 401, the first trigger part 301 will contact the groove wall of the pressing groove 405. However, the pressing groove 405 is not a through hole, and the first trigger part 301 will not pass through the pressing groove 405 to directly contact the pressure plate 205.

[0067] Similarly, such as Figure 7 As shown, in order for the second trigger 302 to trigger the limit switch 209, the pressure cover 201 is also provided with a plurality of through holes 403, which are arranged opposite to the second trigger 302. The portion of the sealing cover 202 used to cover the limit switch 209 is the wrapping portion 402, which can pass through the through holes 403 and protrude relative to the upper surface of the pressure cover 201. When the user presses the button 102, the button 102 will press against the wrapping portion 402, and drive the wrapping portion 402 to deform and move downward, thereby causing the sealing cover 202 to press the limit switch 209.

[0068] As mentioned above, the connection between button 102 and base 101 can be configured as a rotatable connection. In the case of a rotatable connection between button 102 and base 101, such as... Figure 3 As shown, button 102 may be provided with a limiting part 304, and the limiting part 304 and the connecting part 303 are respectively provided at both ends of button 102. Figure 5As shown, the limiting part 304 can abut against the edge of the pressure cover 201, thereby limiting the rotation of the button 102 away from the base 101 and preventing the button 102 from falling off the base 101. More specifically, refer to... Figure 3 The limiting part 304 is configured as a hook; refer to Figure 5 The end edge of the pressure cap 201 away from the connecting part 303 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 305, and the limiting part 304 is provided in the snap-fit ​​groove 305. The limiting part 304 abuts against the groove wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 305, thereby achieving the blocking of the limiting part 304 by the pressure cap 201.

[0069] Reference Figure 13 In one embodiment, the self-generating remote control 100 further includes a limiting cover 208, which is connected to the base 101. The limiting cover 208 has a limiting hole 212, and a button 207 is disposed in the limiting hole 212. The wall of the limiting hole 212 is used to prevent the button 207 from moving laterally, thereby limiting the button 207. Figure 10 The limiting cover 208 can be fitted over the outside of the arc-shaped rib 508, thereby achieving the connection between the limiting cover 208 and the base 101.

[0070] This invention also provides a toilet, which includes the self-generating remote control 100 from any of the above embodiments. The self-generating remote control 100 can be mounted on a wall or on the exterior of the toilet. When a user presses different buttons 102 on the self-generating remote control 100, the circuit board 210 in the self-generating remote control 100 can emit different radio frequency signals, thereby driving the toilet to perform different operations. For example, pressing a button 102 can activate the toilet's drain valve, enabling the toilet to flush. Another example is that pressing a button 102 can cause the toilet seat lid to open upwards. Yet another example is that pressing a button 102 can turn on the toilet light, facilitating use in a dark environment. Yet another example is that pressing a button 102 can activate the toilet's seat heating function. There are various other ways to control the toilet's operation using the self-generating remote control 100, which will not be listed here.

[0071] It should be noted that the self-generating remote control 100 of the present invention can also be used to control other devices, and is not limited to controlling a toilet. For example, the self-generating remote control 100 can also be used to control room lights and other electrical appliances.

[0072] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
