[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the remote controller 100 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a first housing 10 and a button 20. The first housing 10 includes a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 opposite to the first surface 11, and an installation hole 13 penetrating through the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 is provided on the first housing 10; the button 20 includes a functional portion 21 and a sealing portion 22 connected to the edge of the functional portion 21. The functional portion 21 passes through the installation hole 13, and the sealing portion 22 is disposed around the installation hole 13 and is in sealing fit with the first surface 11 of the first housing 10.
[0045] In the wire controller 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the functional part 21 of the button 20 is inserted into the mounting hole 13, which ensures the normal operation of the button 20. The sealing part 22 of the button 20 is arranged around the mounting hole 13 and is sealed with the first surface 11 of the first shell 10, which can prevent moisture and grease from entering the wire controller 100 through the mounting hole 13, thereby improving the anti-corrosion performance of the wire controller 100 such as waterproof and oil-proof, and further improving the reliability of the wire controller 100.
[0046] Specifically, the first shell 10 may be a shell of the wire controller 100. After the wire controller 100 is normally installed, the first surface 11 may be an external surface of the first shell 10 visible to the user, or a surface facing the user; the second surface 12 may be an internal surface hidden from the user, or a surface facing away from the user. The first shell 10 may be made of injection molding material, such as ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), PC (Polycarbonate), etc., to obtain better anti-corrosion properties such as waterproof and oil-proof.
[0047] The mounting hole 13 may be a through hole, and the mounting hole 13 may penetrate the first surface 11 and the second surface 12, or extend from the outside to the inside of the first housing 10. The shape of the mounting hole 13 may be a regular shape or an irregular shape, and the specific shape of the mounting hole 13 needs to be set in conjunction with the functional portion 21 of the button 20. For example, when the functional portion 21 is in a square shape, the mounting hole 13 may be set as a square hole.
[0048] The periphery of the mounting hole 13 may be provided with a recessed portion 101, which may be a groove that is recessed into the first surface 11 but does not penetrate the second surface 12, and the sealing portion 22 may be stuck in the groove. In this way, the groove wall of the groove may cooperate with the sealing portion 22, thereby more effectively sealing the mounting hole 13 area. In addition, the provision of the groove may also facilitate identification of whether the mounting is in place after installation.
[0049] The button 20 is a component for the user to operate and trigger specific functions of the remote controller 100. The functional part 21 is the main body of the button 20, and the functional part 21 can trigger specific functions of the remote controller 100 through movement. The sealing part 22 is a component for sealing the gap between the first surface 11 and the button 20. The sealing part 22 can be integrally connected to the functional part 21 or separately connected to the functional part 21. For example, the sealing part 22 can be a skirt connected to the edge of the functional part 21. In the usage scenario of the kitchen, water vapor and grease may contact the button 20 by sputtering, or may contact the button 20 through the water droplets and grease on the user's fingers. The sealing part 22 can extend the flow path of water vapor and grease, or hinder the flow of water vapor and grease, thereby reducing the probability of water vapor and grease flowing to the mounting hole 13 and entering the interior of the remote controller 100.
[0050] The button 20 can be made of elastic materials such as silica gel to improve the sealing effect of the sealing part 22. It can be understood that during the process of the user pressing the button 20, the button 20 can produce elastic deformation, so that the sealing part 22 fits more closely to the first surface 11 of the first housing 10, thereby being able to seal the mounting hole 13 more effectively.
[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the remote controller 100 further includes a button cover 30, and the button cover 30 is adhesively connected to the button 20. In this way, the button cover 30 is adhesively connected to the button 20, thereby being able to reduce the probability of wear of the button 20, protect the button 20, and extend the service life of the button 20. In addition, the button cover 30 and the button 20 are adhesively connected, which can reduce the probability of water vapor and grease entering the interior of the remote controller 100 through the gap between the button cover 30 and the first housing 10.
[0052] Specifically, the button cover 30 is a structure for protecting the button 20. It can be understood that during use, the button 20 is prone to wear, so the probability of wear of the button 20 can be reduced by adhesively connecting the button cover 30 to the surface of the button 20. The material of the button cover 30 can be a wear-resistant injection molding material, such as ABS, PC, etc. The adhesive connection can eliminate the gap between the button cover 30 and the button 20. Further, the sealing part 22 can seal the gap between the button cover 30 and the first surface 11 of the housing, thereby reducing the probability of water vapor and grease entering the interior of the remote controller 100 through the gap between the button cover 30 and the first housing 10.
[0053] Please refer to Figures 4 to 7In some embodiments, the functional portion 21 includes a first side surface 210, the first side surface 210 is connected to the sealing portion 22, and a first gap is formed between the first side surface 210 and the hole wall of the mounting hole 13. In this way, the first gap can reduce the probability of friction between the first side surface 210 of the functional portion 21 and the hole wall of the mounting hole 13, thereby improving the smoothness of the downward pressing and upward rebounding of the key 20, thereby improving the smoothness of the operation of the key 20.
[0054] Specifically, the first side surface 210 may be an outer side surface of the functional portion 21. For example, when the functional portion 21 is a cylindrical body, the first side surface 210 may be an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body.
[0055] See also Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the button 20 includes a base 23, the base 23 includes a third surface 230, the functional portion 21 protrudes from the third surface 230, and the third surface 230 is sealed and fitted with the second surface 12 of the first shell 10. In this way, the third surface 230 is sealed and fitted with the second surface 12 of the first shell 10, which can increase the level of sealing, and cooperate with the sealing structure of the sealing portion 22 and the first surface 11, which can further reduce the probability of water vapor and grease entering the wire controller 100 through the position between the first shell 10 and the second surface 12, thereby further improving the anti-corrosion properties of the wire controller 100 such as waterproof and oil-proof.
[0056] In addition, the base 23 can provide support for the functional portion 21 , thereby increasing the reliability of the functional portion 21 .
[0057] Specifically, the base 23 and the functional part 21 can be connected in an integral manner or in a split manner. A plurality of functional parts 21 can be provided on the base 23, and the plurality of functional parts 21 can be arranged in a preset manner to meet the specific operation requirements of the wire controller 100. For example, the plurality of functional parts 21 can be arranged in a rectangular array, and the shapes and sizes of the functional parts 21 in different rows or columns can be the same or different. The functional part 21 can be a hollow structure, and the wall thickness of the functional part 21 can be less than or equal to 1.5 mm. For example, the wall thickness of the functional part 21 can be 1.5 mm, 1.45 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.35 mm, 1.3 mm, etc.
[0058] The base 23 may be in the shape of a plate, and the third surface 230 may be a surface of the base 23 close to and facing the second surface 12 of the first housing 10. The third surface 230 and the second surface 12 may be connected by interference fit to achieve mutual sealing and adhesion; the third surface 230 and the second surface 12 may also be sealed and adhered to each other by a sealant.
[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the first housing 10 includes a second side surface 14, the second side surface 14 is connected to the second surface 12 and forms an angle, the base 23 includes a third side surface 231, the third side surface 231 forms an angle with the third surface 230, and there is a second gap between the third side surface 231 and the second side surface 14.
[0060] In this way, the second gap can reduce the probability of friction between the third side surface 231 of the base 23 and the second side surface 14 of the first housing 10, thereby improving the smoothness of the downward pressing and upward rebounding actions of the button 20, and thus improving the operation smoothness of the button 20.
[0061] Specifically, the second side surface 14 may be a surface located inside the first housing 10, and the third side surface 231 may be a surface of the base 23 close to the second side surface 14. The size of the second gap can be achieved by increasing or decreasing the shape of the first housing 10, or by increasing or decreasing the shape of the base 23.
[0062] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 11 , in some embodiments, the base 23 includes a fourth surface 232 and a reinforcing rib 233, the fourth surface 232 faces away from the third surface 230, and the reinforcing rib 233 is recessed into the fourth surface 232 and connected to the functional part 21. In this way, by connecting to the functional part 21, the reinforcing rib 233 can increase the elasticity and strength of the button 20, reduce the probability of collapse of the button 20 during long-term use, and thus extend the service life of the button 20.
[0063] Specifically, each functional part 21 may correspond to at least one reinforcing rib 233, and the reinforcing rib 233 may be made of silica gel material. The shape of the reinforcing rib 233 may be a regular shape, such as a T-shape, an I-shape, etc., or an irregular shape. For example, the shape of the reinforcing rib 233 is an I-shaped rib. When the number of the reinforcing ribs 233 is small, the overall weight of the button 20 can be reduced. When the number of the reinforcing ribs 233 is large, the overall strength of the button 20 can be increased. The number of the reinforcing ribs 233 can be set according to the shape of the functional part 21. For example, when the functional part 21 is square-shaped, the reinforcing rib 233 can be set to one; when the size of the reinforcing rib 233 is larger than the aforementioned square, the number of the reinforcing ribs 233 can be set to two.
[0064] The reinforcing rib 233 and the functional part 21 may be an integrally formed structure or a separately formed structure. The reinforcing rib 233 may be arranged on the fourth surface 232 in a preset manner. For example, the reinforcing rib 233 may be arranged in a rectangular array.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 ., a limiting hole 234 may also be provided on the third surface 230 of the base 23, and a corresponding limiting post 15 may be provided on the second surface 12 of the first housing 10. The limiting hole 234 and the limiting post 15 can be connected by an interference fit, which can reduce the probability of the button 20 moving during use.
[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 ., in some embodiments, the remote controller 100 further includes an electronic control module 40 and an electrical component 50. The electronic control module 40 is connected to the first housing 10, and the electrical component 50 is connected to the electronic control module 40 by a chip mounting process. When the button 20 is pressed, the electronic control module 40 contacts the fourth surface 232.
[0067] In this way, connecting the electrical component 50 and the electronic control module 40 by a chip mounting process can improve the anti-corrosion performance of the remote controller 100 such as waterproof and oil-proof, and can also improve the production and manufacturing efficiency of the remote controller 100 and reduce costs. When the button 20 is pressed, the electronic control module 40 contacts the fourth surface 232, thereby being able to trigger the functions of the corresponding electrical component 50 to realize the functions of the button 20.
[0068] Specifically, the electronic control module 40 can be an electronic module for controlling the functions of the remote controller 100. The electronic control module 40 can include components such as a microprocessor, a circuit board, and a sensor. The functions of the electronic control module 40 can cover various operations of the remote controller 100, such as the response of the button 20, signal transmission, and communication with other devices. The design of the electronic control module 40 can be determined according to the specific uses and functional requirements of the remote controller 100.
[0069] The electrical component 50 can be various electronic components in the remote controller 100. For example, the electrical component 50 can be a capacitor, an inductor, and a communication module, etc. The electronic control module 40 can be connected to the first housing 10 by a fixed connection method, or the electronic control module 40 can also be connected to the first housing 10 by a detachable connection method, so as to facilitate disassembly and installation when the electronic control module 40 needs to be maintained or replaced. For example, the electronic control module 40 and the first housing 10 can be connected by a threaded connection method.
[0070] Such as Figure 13As shown, due to the use of the surface mount technology, there are no pins on the side of the electronic control module 40 opposite to the electrical component 50. Connecting the electrical component 50 to the electronic control module 40 using the surface mount technology has good sealing performance, which can reduce the intrusion of moisture and grease. Compared with the surface mount technology, other connection methods, such as pin connection, may require passing through holes in the circuit board. Such a connection method may be less sealed than the surface mount technology relatively speaking. In a humid and oily environment such as a kitchen, the holes may become channels for liquid infiltration, thus increasing the risk of damage to the electronic control module 40 and the electrical component 50. In the surface mount technology, the solder joints formed during the soldering process and the coating on the surface of the electrical component 50 can effectively prevent liquids and particles from entering the connection part, thereby improving the durability of the remote controller 100 in a humid and oily environment.
[0071] When the button 20 is pressed, the button 20 will deform, move towards the electronic control module 40, and finally contact the electronic control module 40. The fourth surface 232 has a contact part corresponding to the electronic control module 40. Corresponding contacts can be provided on the electronic control module 40 to trigger the corresponding functions of the button 20.
[0072] Please refer to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, the electrical component 50 includes a Bluetooth control module 51. In this way, selecting the Bluetooth control module 51 can enable the remote controller 100 to be controlled by a Bluetooth device, thereby reducing the probability of moisture and grease entering the interior of the remote controller 100 due to the use of a wired connection method.
[0073] Specifically, the Bluetooth control module 51 enables the remote controller 100 to be wirelessly connected to other compatible devices through Bluetooth technology. In a kitchen scenario, this means that users can use the remote controller 100 for remote control more conveniently without being restricted by cables.
[0074] Compared with the wired remote controller 100, the remote controller 100 with the Bluetooth control module 51 eliminates the need for wiring and provides greater flexibility. The wired remote controller 100 may be affected by moisture and oil, thus affecting its service life. Therefore, the Bluetooth control module 51 is more suitable for a kitchen environment where it is not convenient to lay cables. Compared with the infrared remote controller 100, Bluetooth communication does not require direct visibility, while the infrared remote controller 100 may be blocked in a situation with a large amount of oil mist. Therefore, the remote controller 100 with the Bluetooth control module 51 is not affected by occlusion during use and is more suitable for complex environments such as kitchens.
[0075] Please refer to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, the remote controller 100 further includes a second housing 60. The second housing 60 is connected to the first housing 10. The first housing 10 and the second housing 60 define an accommodation space 102, and the electrical component 50 is disposed in the accommodation space 102.
[0076] In this way, the accommodation space 102 defined by the first housing 10 and the second housing 60 helps to isolate the electrical component 50 from the external environment, thereby reducing the probability of direct contact between moisture, grease and the electrical component 50, and further improving the safety and stability of the electrical component 50.
[0077] Specifically, the first housing 10 and the second housing 60 are connected so as to form the outer shell of the complete remote controller 100. After the remote controller 100 is installed, the first housing 10 can be the housing close to the user, and the second housing 60 can be the housing close to the installation plane. Among them, the installation plane can be a wall or the like.
[0078] The first housing 10 and the second housing 60 can be connected by screw connection, snap connection or other applicable connection methods. The first housing 10 and the second housing 60 can be connected in a detachable manner, so as to facilitate disassembly and installation when it is necessary to maintain or replace the components in the accommodation space 102. The first housing 10 and the second housing 60 can isolate the external environment and the accommodation space 102. The electrical component 50 is arranged in the accommodation space 102, which can reduce the probability of contact between the electrical component 50 and substances such as moisture and grease, thereby improving the reliability of the electrical component 50. Correspondingly, the control module connected to the electrical component 50 by the chip mounting process is also arranged in the accommodation space 102, which can reduce the probability of contact between the control module and substances such as moisture and grease, thereby improving the reliability of the control module.
[0079] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 14 , in some embodiments, the remote controller 100 further includes a conductive strip 70 and a display screen 80. The conductive strip 70 is electrically connected to the electronic control module 40 and the display screen 80, and both the conductive strip 70 and the display screen 80 are arranged in the accommodation space 102.
[0080] In this way, through the electrical connection mode of the conductive strip 70, the electronic control module 40 can control the display screen 80 to display the required content, and this connection mode can reduce the adverse effects of moisture and grease. The accommodation space 102 can reduce the probability of direct contact between moisture, grease and the conductive strip 70 and the display screen 80, thereby improving the safety and stability of the conductive strip 70 and the display screen 80.
[0081] Specifically, corresponding contacts can be arranged on the electronic control module 40 and the display screen 80, and the conductive strip 70 can be electrically connected to different contacts, so as to realize the control of the display of the display screen 80 by the electronic control module 40. The display screen 80 can be a liquid crystal display screen to provide high-definition display. Both the conductive strip 70 and the display screen 80 are arranged in the accommodation space 102, which can reduce the probability of contact between the conductive strip 70 and the display screen 80 and substances such as moisture and grease, thereby improving the reliability of the conductive strip 70 and the display screen 80.
[0082] The conductive bar 70 can be made of rubber material. The rubber material is well-suited for humid and greasy scenarios such as kitchens, enabling the conductive bar 70 to have good durability.
[0083] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 14 , in some embodiments, the remote controller 100 further includes a light-transmitting cover plate 90 and a seal 103. Along the thickness direction d of the remote controller 100, the accommodation space 102 has an opening 104 opposite to the second housing 60. The light-transmitting cover plate 90 is disposed at the opening 104 and covers the display screen 80. The light-transmitting cover plate 90 is hermetically connected to the first housing 10 through the seal 103.
[0084] In this way, the light-transmitting cover plate 90 can reduce the direct contact between water vapor and grease with the display screen 80 while allowing light to pass through, enabling the user to clearly see the information on the display screen 80 through the light-transmitting cover plate 90 and keeping the display function of the display screen 80 still available. In addition, the seal 103 can seal the gap between the first housing 10 and the light-transmitting cover plate 90, thereby reducing the probability of water vapor and grease entering the accommodation space 102 through the gap, and further reducing the probability of water vapor and grease contacting components such as the conductive bar 70, the display screen 80, and the electrical components 50 in the accommodation space 102, thus improving the safety and reliability of the remote controller 100.
[0085] Specifically, the opening 104 can be a through hole penetrating the first housing 10. The light-transmitting cover plate 90 can be disposed at the opening 104 by means of bonding, snap connection, etc. The light-transmitting cover plate 90 can be made of transparent or translucent material to ensure that light can pass through the light-transmitting cover plate 90. For example, the light-transmitting cover plate 90 can be made of polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, etc. The seal 103 can be a rubber sealing ring, a silicone sealing strip, etc. For example, the seal 103 can be a waterproof and oil-proof tape, and the light-transmitting cover plate 90 can be pasted on the first housing 10 through the waterproof and oil-proof tape. The waterproof and oil-proof tape can be made of polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, etc.
[0086] Please refer to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, the light-transmitting cover plate 90 and the button 20 are spaced apart along the direction perpendicular to the thickness of the remote controller 100. In this way, through the spaced arrangement of the light-transmitting cover plate 90 and the button 20, the possible blocking or blurred visual effect is avoided. This helps to maintain the transparency of the light-transmitting cover plate 90, ensures the normal operation of the display screen 80, and improves the visibility of the display screen 80.
[0087] In addition, by spacing the light-transmitting cover plate 90 and the button 20 along the direction perpendicular to the thickness of the remote controller 100, it is beneficial to the layout of the light-transmitting cover plate 90 and the button 20, thereby improving the production and manufacturing efficiency.
[0088] Specifically, the distance between the light-transmitting cover plate 90 and the button 20 can be set according to the size of the wire controller 100. For example, for a larger wire controller 100, the distance between the light-transmitting cover plate 90 and the button 20 can be set to be larger; for a smaller wire controller 100, the distance between the light-transmitting cover plate 90 and the button 20 can be set to be smaller.
[0089] See also Figure 1 and Figure 14 In some embodiments, the wire controller 100 further includes a battery cover 105 and a battery 106 . The battery cover 105 is detachably connected to the second shell 60 . The battery 106 is disposed in the accommodating space 102 . The battery cover 105 covers and abuts against the battery 106 .
[0090] In this way, the battery cover 105 and the second shell 60 can facilitate the removal of the battery 106. The battery cover 105 covers and abuts against the battery 106 to fix the position of the battery 106, reducing the probability of the battery 106 shaking during use, thereby increasing the service life of the battery 106. The battery 106 is arranged in the accommodating space 102 to reduce the probability of the battery 106 directly contacting with moisture and grease.
[0091] Specifically, the battery cover 105 can be detachably connected to the second housing 60 by snap connection, thread connection, etc. The second housing 60 can be provided with an opening so that the battery cover 105 can cover and abut the battery 106 through the opening, which facilitates the removal of the battery 106.
[0092] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the wire controller 100 further includes a mounting bracket 107 located on a side of the second shell 60 away from the accommodating space 102 , the mounting bracket 107 is detachably connected to the second shell 60 , and the mounting bracket 107 is used to connect the second shell 60 to the mounting plane.
[0093] In this way, the mounting bracket 107 can connect the second shell 60 to the mounting plane, so that the second shell 60 and the structure connected to the second shell 60 are not easy to loosen or shake during use, thereby improving the overall stability of the wire controller 100. In addition, the mounting bracket 107 is detachably connected to the second shell 60, which is conducive to the disassembly and assembly of the wire controller 100, thereby improving the maintainability and replaceability of the wire controller 100. In addition, the mounting bracket 107 can change its own structural shape to match different mounting planes, thereby widening the scope of application of the wire controller 100.
[0094] Specifically, the mounting bracket 107 can be a support structure made of injection molding materials such as ABS and PC, or can also be made of metal materials such as stainless steel and aluminum alloy. The mounting bracket 107 can be detachably connected to the second housing 60 by means of snap connection, threaded connection, etc. The mounting bracket 107 can be mounted on the mounting plane by means of threaded connection, bonding, etc. to fix the position of the second housing 60, thereby fixing the position of the remote controller 100.
