Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a remote control, in particular to a solar remote control with a battery-free design. Background Art

[0002] A remote control is a wireless transmitting device that encodes button information through modern digital encoding technology, emits light waves through an infrared diode, and the infrared receiver of the receiver converts the received infrared signal into an electrical signal, which is decoded by a processor to demodulate corresponding instructions to achieve the required operation requirements for controlling devices such as a set-top box.

[0003] In the prior art, remote controls usually use AA, AAA batteries or button batteries for power supply. During use, the batteries need to be frequently replaced, increasing the subsequent cost of purchasing batteries. At the same time, in some cases, when the remote control runs out of power, it brings inconvenience to the user. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a solar remote control with a battery-free design, which uses solar energy for continuous charging and a large capacitor to store electrical energy, effectively reducing the subsequent cost of purchasing batteries.

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is achieved as follows: A solar remote control with a battery-free design includes a front shell, a bottom shell, buttons and a PCB board. One end inside of the front shell and the bottom shell is provided with a solar panel, and light-transmitting plates are provided on the surfaces of the front shell and the bottom shell corresponding to the solar panel. A large capacitor is provided inside the top end of the bottom shell.

[0006] The utility model adopts the above technical solution. Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects are as follows: The lower end of the remote control uses double-sided light-transmitting plates, and continuous charging can be carried out whether it is placed face up or face down. The large capacitor is used to store electrical energy. As long as it is in a lighted environment, continuous charging can be carried out. There is no need to worry about the situation that the remote control runs out of power, nor is it necessary to frequently replace batteries, reducing the subsequent cost of purchasing batteries and improving the user experience.

[0007] For better electrical energy storage, the PCB board is installed between the front shell and the bottom shell, and the large capacitor is electrically connected to the PCB board.

[0008] Furthermore, the solar panel is electrically connected to the PCB board.

[0009] In order to protect the solar panel and play a role in light transmission at the same time, the light-transmitting plate is made of acrylic. Description of the Drawings

[0012] Figure 3 Cross-sectional view of the utility model.

[0013] Wherein, 1 is the front shell, 2 is the bottom shell, 3 is the PCB board, 4 is the solar panel, 5 is the light-transmitting plate, and 6 is the large capacitor. Specific implementation mode

[0014] Such as Figures 1-3 A battery-free solar remote control shown in the figure, including a front shell 1, a bottom shell 2, a PCB board 3 and keys. A solar panel 4 is arranged on the inner sides of one ends of the front shell 1 and the bottom shell 2. Light-transmitting plates 5 are arranged on the surfaces of the front shell 1 and the bottom shell 2 corresponding to the solar panel 4. A large capacitor 6 is arranged on the inner side of the top end of the bottom shell 2; the PCB board 3 is installed between the front shell 1 and the bottom shell 2, and the large capacitor 6 is electrically connected to the PCB board 3; the solar panel 4 is electrically connected to the PCB board 3; the light-transmitting plate 5 is made of acrylic.

[0015] When the utility model works, in the presence of light, the solar panel 4 continuously charges, and the large capacitor 6 stores electrical energy to supply power to the remaining components on the PCB board 3.

[0016] The utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Based on the technical solutions disclosed in the utility model, those skilled in the art can make some substitutions and deformations to some technical features without creative labor according to the disclosed technical content, and these substitutions and deformations are all within the protection scope of the utility model.
