Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of remote controllers, in particular to a remote controller with buttons integrated with indicator lights. Background Art
[0002] With the development of intelligent life, most household appliances have more and more functions, and it is becoming more and more common to integrate the control of all functions of appliances into the remote control. In order to provide users with a good user experience, the management of appliance functions is becoming more and more refined. For functions with gears, more and more switching gears are set, such as the wind speed gear of fans and the brightness gear of lamps. In the prior art, in order to enable users to clearly understand the gear status of the function used from the remote control, a display panel is often set on the remote control to display the gear, which increases costs and is not conducive to cost control for enterprises. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a remote control with buttons integrated with indicator lights, so as to solve the problem of increased costs caused by displaying the function gear status on the remote control through a display panel.
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0005] A remote control with buttons and integrated indicator lights, comprising an upper shell, a lower shell, buttons and a circuit board arranged below the buttons, the upper shell being provided with a plurality of button holes, the buttons being movably embedded in the button holes; the buttons comprising indicator light buttons and ordinary buttons, the circuit board being provided with a plurality of indicator lights at positions relative to the indicator light buttons, the indicator light buttons being provided with a plurality of first light holes, the first light holes corresponding one-to-one with the indicator lights; an elastic light shielding member being provided between the buttons and the circuit board, the elastic light shielding member being provided with a plurality of second light holes, the second light holes corresponding one-to-one with the first light holes.
[0006] On the function buttons of the remote control with gear control, an indicator light is designed to reflect the status of the function. If the function has several gears, several indicator lights can be designed. The number of indicator lights on indicates the gear of the function. At the same time, an elastic light shielding member is set under the button, which not only plays a rebound role for the button, but also limits the light emitted by the indicator light, avoiding the situation where it is difficult to easily judge how many indicator lights are on the button due to light problems, giving users a good user experience. This design scheme solves the problem of increased costs caused by setting a display panel on the remote control to display the function gear status by designing an indicator light button.
[0007] Furthermore, a concave position is provided at the bottom of the button, a boss is provided at a position opposite to the concave position of the elastic light shielding member, the boss is embedded in the concave position, and the boss is supported and connected to the button.
[0008] The button and the elastic shading member are designed to have a concave-convex matching structure. On the one hand, this ensures that the two are tightly combined to ensure that the button will not shake during long-term use. On the other hand, the boss structure of the elastic shading member has good elasticity, which can ensure a good rebound effect of the button during use.
[0009] Furthermore, an outward folded edge is provided at the bottom of the button, and the outward folded edge abuts against the bottom of the button hole to close the button hole.
[0010] An outward folded edge is provided at the bottom of the button. Under the action of the elastic shading member at the bottom, when the button is not pressed, the bottom of the button is tightly combined with the upper shell of the remote control, thereby preventing dust, water and other debris from entering the interior of the remote control through the button after being spilled, causing a short circuit in the remote control circuit board and preventing the debris from being difficult to clean.
[0011] Furthermore, the inner concave position of the indicator light button is provided with a button column, the boss is provided with a through hole, and the button column passes through the through hole to connect with the circuit board.
[0012] A button column is set inside the indicator button. When the button is pressed, the gear state is switched by contacting the button column with the circuit board components. A through hole is set on the boss of the elastic shading member to facilitate the passage of the button column and also play a guiding role.
[0013] Furthermore, a backlight is provided at a position opposite to the ordinary keys of the circuit board.
[0014] For devices controlled by the remote control, some functions do not require gear switching. They only require the switch to be closed or the functional gear to be clearly understood from the status of the device. In this case, there is no need to set a gear indicator light under the ordinary buttons of the remote control. Only the backlight needs to be set. When the backlight lights up when the ordinary button is pressed, it means that the ordinary button is effective, giving the user visual feedback and improving the user experience.
[0015] Furthermore, the lower shell is provided with a battery compartment, the battery compartment is provided with a cover, and the cover is detachably connected to the lower shell via a buckle.
[0016] A battery compartment is provided inside the remote control for installing batteries to supply power to the remote control. At the same time, the cover of the battery compartment is connected to the lower housing of the remote control through a buckle, which is convenient for disassembly when replacing the battery.
[0017] Furthermore, an elastic clamp is provided on the inner wall of the battery compartment for clamping and connecting the battery.
[0018] Elastic clips are designed at both ends of the inner wall of the battery compartment to clamp the battery. The elastic clips are made of metal and connect the positive and negative poles of the battery to power the remote control.
[0019] Furthermore, the remote control also includes a remote control base, and the lower shell is movably connected to the remote control base in a plug-in manner.
[0020] The remote control is designed with a base for storing the remote control body. The remote control base can be installed and fixed somewhere to facilitate users to find and take the remote control, saving time in searching for the remote control due to random placement.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0022] On the function buttons of the remote control with gear control, an indicator light is designed to reflect the status of the function. If the function has several gears, several indicator lights can be designed. The number of indicator lights on indicates the gear of the function. At the same time, an elastic light shielding member is set under the button, which not only plays a rebound role for the button, but also limits the light emitted by the indicator light, avoiding the situation where it is difficult to easily judge how many indicator lights are on the button due to light problems, giving users a good user experience. This design scheme solves the problem of increased costs caused by setting a display panel on the remote control to display the function gear status by designing an indicator light button.

The indicator light 41 body passes through the second light hole 31 and is embedded in the first light hole 121.
[0032] On the function button of the remote control with gear control, an indicator light 41 is designed to reflect the state of the function. If the function has several gears, several indicator lights 41 can be designed. The number of indicator lights 41 that are on indicates the gear of the function. For example, if a function has a total of 6 gears, 6 indicator lights are designed to indicate the number of gears; if the function is currently in gear 2, 2 indicator lights 41 are lit. At the same time, an elastic light shielding member 3 is set under the button 1, which not only plays a rebound role for the button 1, but also can limit the light emitted by the indicator light 41 to the second light hole 31, and does not spread to the surroundings, so as to avoid the situation where it is difficult to easily judge how many indicator lights 41 are lit on the button due to light diffusion, and bring a good user experience to the user.
[0033] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the bottom of the key 1 is provided with an inner concave position 13, and the elastic shading member 3 is provided with a boss 33 at a position relative to the inner concave position 13, the boss 33 is embedded in the inner concave position 13, and the top of the boss 33 abuts against the bottom of the inner concave position 13 of the key 1 to support the key 1. The key 1 and the elastic shading member 3 are designed to be a concave-convex matching structure, on the one hand, to ensure that the two are closely combined, and to ensure that the key 1 will not shake during long-term use, and on the other hand, the boss 33 structure of the elastic shading member 3 has good elasticity, which can ensure a good rebound effect of the key 1 during use.
[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the button 1 is provided with an outward folding edge 14 around the bottom, and the shape and size of the outward folding edge 14 are larger than the shape and size of the button hole 21.
