In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0034] In the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium.

A first feature being "below," "below," or "below" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0035] A wired controller and an air conditioner having the wired controller according to the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wired controller according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present utility model includes a housing 1 and a circuit board 2.

[0037] An installation space is formed inside the housing 1 ; the circuit board 2 is installed in the installation space; a through port hole 3 is opened on the housing 1 , an electronic interface 4 is installed in the port hole 3 , and the electronic interface 4 is connected to the circuit board 2 .

[0038] It can be understood that for the wired controller of the present invention, the housing 1 is the outer frame of the controller. It not only protects the internal components from external environmental influences (such as dust, moisture, and physical impact), but also provides a specific internal installation space. This installation space is precisely planned to stably accommodate the circuit board 2, ensuring that the electronic components on the circuit board 2 can operate safely and without external interference.

[0039] Circuit board 2 is the heart of the wired controller, integrating functional modules such as control logic, signal processing, and data exchange. It is carefully installed in the pre-set mounting space within housing 1 and tightly connected to housing 1 via welding, a fixing bracket, or other mechanical connection methods to ensure stable operation of circuit board 2.

[0040] The innovative design of this wired controller lies in the unique port holes 3 designed into the housing 1. These ports 3 penetrate the housing 1 without compromising the overall seal. Carefully placed at the bottom or outer wall of the housing 1, they facilitate access while maintaining a clean, waterproof, and dustproof appearance. These ports 3 house electronic interfaces 4, such as Type-C, USB, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth, which connect directly to the circuit board 2, providing the wired controller with a variety of data transmission and communication methods.

[0041] The wired controller according to the present embodiment operates as follows: A user sends control commands, such as adjusting the air conditioner temperature or fan speed, to circuit board 2 via buttons or a touchscreen (not directly described, but typically present on such controllers). After receiving the commands, circuit board 2 processes and converts them into electrical signals, which then control the air conditioner via internal circuitry to execute the corresponding actions.

[0042] When the remote controller's software needs to be upgraded or troubleshooted, workers can connect it to a computer or other device directly via an electronic port (such as Type-C or USB) without disassembling it. If it's a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth port, wireless connectivity allows for remote software updates or diagnostics, significantly improving maintenance efficiency and reducing costs.

[0043] In addition, the port hole 3 can be closed by a rubber plug or the like when not in use to ensure the sealing of the housing 1 and prevent moisture and dust from entering, thereby extending the service life and maintenance cycle of the wired controller.

[0044] In summary, this design not only optimizes the operation convenience and maintenance ease of traditional wired controllers, but also gives wired controllers powerful remote management and self-upgrade capabilities through the integration of modern communication interfaces.

[0045] The current common structure of wired controllers is to retain only the mounting holes, wiring troughs, and communication terminals (plug-in or crimp terminals) on the back cover. Heat dissipation holes for the temperature and humidity sensors are retained on the side of the controller, with no other holes. This is primarily to ensure that the controller is waterproof and moisture-proof. However, to upgrade the software on the wired controller, the back cover must be opened and the corresponding chip programming tool must be used. This must be done on-site, wasting manpower and material resources.

[0046] Therefore, in order to solve the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned related technologies, the present invention provides a wired controller, which is equipped with an electronic interface 4 to facilitate on-site software upgrades. Specifically, compared with the related technologies, the present invention has at least the following advantages.

[0047] (1) Simplified upgrade process: Traditional wired controller software upgrades require disassembling the back cover 13 and using a dedicated chip burning tool. However, the structure provided by this patent reserves a Type C or USB interface at the bottom of the controller, which allows software upgrades to be performed directly on-site or remotely connected to the device without disassembly, greatly simplifying the upgrade process and saving labor costs and time.

[0048] (2) Improve efficiency and flexibility: With Wi-Fi or Bluetooth interfaces, it not only supports on-site upgrades, but also enables remote upgrades and troubleshooting without geographical restrictions, improving response speed and efficiency. It is especially suitable for large-scale device management and reduces delays caused by network speed or user group limitations.

[0049] (3) Enhanced protection: The rubber plug sealing interface mentioned in the design ensures the dust and water resistance of the controller when the interface is not in use, maintains the long-term stable operation capability of the equipment in harsh environments, and extends its service life.

[0050] (4) Wide compatibility: Supports multiple interfaces such as Type C, USB, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, adapting to the device configurations and preferences of different users, increasing convenience and compatibility, and reducing barriers to market promotion.

[0051] (5) Reduce resource consumption: Convenient on-site and remote upgrade methods avoid the need to frequently dispatch technicians to the site, reduce the consumption of manpower and material resources, and reduce the economic losses caused by equipment downtime for upgrades.

[0052] (6) Improve user experience: Rapidly responding software updates and problem-solving capabilities increase user satisfaction and trust in smart devices, contributing to the positive development of the brand image.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the electronic interface 4 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the housing 1 and is located at the bottom of the housing 1 .

[0054] It can be understood that placing the interface at the bottom of the shell 1 and in a position that is directly accessible to the outside allows the operator to quickly access the controller by simply removing the protective cover or rubber plug when performing software upgrades or hardware inspections without having to disassemble the entire controller housing, which greatly simplifies the maintenance process and reduces maintenance costs and time.

[0055] Taking into account the protection needs of electronic equipment, especially for devices such as wired remotes that are often installed in home or industrial environments and are susceptible to moisture and dust, the interface is located at the bottom and sealed with a rubber plug, which can effectively prevent moisture and dust from invading through the interface and enhance the durability and stability of the device.

[0056] In addition, arranging the interface at the bottom of the outer wall of the shell 1 can make full use of the three-dimensional space of the device and reduce the plane space occupied by the device, while keeping the surface of the shell 1 neat and tidy without affecting the appearance design of the device, which meets the aesthetic requirements of modern home or office environments.

[0057] In addition, by setting interfaces such as Type C, USB, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on the outer wall of the shell 1, a variety of connection methods are provided, which is compatible with various standard upgrade tools or devices, increasing the flexibility of the wire controller to interact with other devices and the possibility of future expansion.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the electronic interface 4 is connected to the circuit board 2 by welding.

[0059] As can be understood, a solder connection refers to the process of melting a metal material (usually solder) through heating, which forms a strong electrical and mechanical bond after cooling and solidification, thereby permanently connecting the pins of the electronic interface 4 to the corresponding pads on the circuit board 2. In practice, this typically involves placing the interface pins on the designated pads on the circuit board 2, then applying heat with a soldering tool (such as a soldering iron) to melt the solder and wet the contacting surfaces, ultimately forming a reliable electrical path. For interfaces such as Type C, USB, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth, the multiple pins are individually soldered to the corresponding pads on the circuit board 2 to ensure stable transmission of data and power signals.

[0060] Soldered connections provide a highly stable electrical connection that can withstand vibration, thermal cycling, and the stresses of prolonged use better than non-permanent connections (such as plug-in connectors). This reduces the risk of poor contact and ensures continuous and stable signal transmission. Furthermore, soldered connections are less susceptible to external factors such as moisture and dust, resulting in excellent durability, extending the lifespan and maintenance intervals of the wired controller.

[0061] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the electronic interface 4 is a Type C interface or a USB interface.

[0062] It's important to note that the Type-C interface is a new interface standard that has gained popularity in recent years. It's known for its reversible pluggability, high-speed data transmission (theoretical speeds up to 10Gbps), and high-power power delivery (up to 100W). The introduction of the Type-C interface enables wired controllers to not only support fast data transmission but also be compatible with a growing number of devices that support Type-C charging, enabling efficient charging or power delivery.

[0063] The USB interface, also known as the Universal Serial Bus (USB), is a universal interface standard widely used in personal computers and consumer electronic devices. USB interface versions include USB 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1. USB 3.0 and above offer higher data transfer rates (up to 5Gbps) while maintaining excellent backward compatibility. The choice of a USB interface ensures that the wired controller can easily connect to a wide range of existing devices for data transfer and charging.

[0064] In this way, the universality of Type C and USB interfaces means that the wired remote control can be connected to almost any computer, mobile storage device or charger with a corresponding interface, greatly improving the universality of the device and the convenience of user use.

[0065] Moreover, both Type C and newer versions of USB interfaces can provide faster data transmission speeds, which helps speed up operations such as software upgrades, parameter adjustments, or fault log downloads, thereby improving maintenance efficiency.

[0066] In addition, the Type C interface supports high-power power supply, allowing the wired controller to power other devices or charge itself when necessary, enhancing the flexibility of application scenarios.

[0067] According to other embodiments of the present invention, the electronic interface 4 is a WiFI interface or a Bluetooth interface.

[0068] It should be explained that the integrated Wi-Fi module allows the wired controller to connect directly to a local area network or the Internet for remote control and data transmission. This wireless communication method allows users to control, monitor, and update the software of the wired controller and its associated devices via an application on a smartphone, tablet, or computer, regardless of their location, as long as the network is accessible.

[0069] Bluetooth, a short-range wireless communication technology, is designed for low-power, high-efficiency data exchange between devices. In the embodiments of this utility model, equipped with a Bluetooth interface, the wired controller can quickly pair with nearby Bluetooth devices (such as mobile phones, tablets, or Bluetooth remote controls), enabling close-range wireless operation and data transmission, making it suitable for scenarios requiring instant interaction.

[0070] In this way, the introduction of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth interfaces has freed the device from the constraints of physical connection cables, greatly improving the convenience and flexibility of operation. Users can perform control or maintenance operations without having to get close to the device.

[0071] In particular, the Wi-Fi interface supports remote control, allowing users to monitor and adjust device status anywhere there is network coverage. It is very suitable for smart homes or remote device management, and improves user experience.

[0072] In addition, wireless connectivity reduces the need for physical cabling, lowering installation and maintenance costs. Wireless solutions are particularly cost-effective in complex or difficult-to-wire environments.

[0073] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the wired controller further includes a port plug 5. The port plug 5 is adapted to the shape of the electronic interface 4, and the port plug 5 is used to open or close the electronic interface 4.

[0074] In this embodiment, port plug 5 is typically made of a soft yet durable material (such as silicone or rubber) and is designed to fit snugly within the opening of electronic interface 4. When the interface is not in use for software upgrades, data transfer, or wireless communication, the user can insert port plug 5 into the interface to provide a seal, preventing dust, moisture, and other particles from entering the wired controller and protecting electronic interface 4 and circuit board 2 from damage. When needed, simply remove port plug 5 to expose the interface for connection.

[0075] Among them, the user can decide whether to use the port plug 5 according to actual needs. For example, if the device is in a clean and dry environment, the port plug 5 can be not used to maintain more direct accessibility, while in harsh environments it can be used to enhance protection and increase flexibility of use.

[0076] The presence of port plug 5 significantly enhances the remote's dust and water resistance, especially when used outdoors or in humid environments. It effectively prevents external contaminants from corroding the internal circuitry, extending the device's lifespan. Furthermore, port plug 5 is designed for easy installation and removal, allowing users to quickly open or close the port when needed, facilitating routine maintenance while ensuring device safety.

[0077] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the housing 1 includes an upper housing 11 , a middle cover 12 and a rear housing 13 , the circuit board 2 is sandwiched between the upper housing 11 and the middle cover 12 , and the rear housing 13 is provided on the middle cover 12 to close the housing 1 .

[0078] As you can understand, the remote's housing 1 consists of three main parts: an upper housing 11, a middle cover 12, and a rear housing 13. This layered design facilitates assembly and maintenance. The upper housing 11 typically contains the user interface (such as buttons or a display), the middle cover 12 serves as a link between the upper and lower parts, and the rear housing 13 encloses the rear of the entire housing 1. Together, these three components form a stable protective structure.

[0079] The circuit board 2 is precisely mounted in the space between the upper shell 11 and the middle cover 12. This clamping method ensures that the circuit board 2 is firmly fixed, reduces the impact of vibration on the circuit, and improves the reliability of the circuit.

[0080] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wired controller further includes a screen assembly and a mounting bracket 14, wherein the structure formed by the circuit board 2, the mounting bracket 14 and the screen assembly is clamped between the middle cover 12 and the upper shell 11, and the circuit board 2 is installed on the side of the mounting bracket 14 adjacent to the middle cover 12, and the screen assembly is installed on the side of the mounting bracket 14 adjacent to the upper shell 11.

[0081] In this embodiment, the screen assembly includes an LCD screen 61 and a backlight screen 62, which are responsible for displaying information and providing visual feedback to the user. This design allows the wired controller to intuitively display control status, menu options, etc., enhancing the user experience.

[0082] The mounting bracket 14 supports and fixes the screen assembly and the circuit board 2. Its structural design allows the circuit board 2 to be installed close to the middle cover 12, while the screen assembly is close to the upper shell 11. This layout is conducive to reasonable weight distribution and ensures the balance and stability of the overall structure.

[0083] It can be understood that the circuit board 2, the mounting bracket 14 and the screen assembly are clamped as a whole between the middle cover 12 and the upper shell 11. This integrated design simplifies the assembly process and also facilitates subsequent maintenance or upgrade operations.

[0084] The layered design of the housing 1 and the tight fit between its components enhance the overall structural strength of the wired controller, effectively protecting it from external shock and pressure, and extending its service life. Furthermore, the sophisticated layout design allows for efficient integration of the circuit board 2, screen assembly, and mounting bracket 14, maximizing internal space utilization while maintaining the wired controller's compact dimensions.

[0085] In addition, the modular design allows each component to be disassembled and assembled independently, facilitating assembly of the production line and subsequent troubleshooting and repair, reducing maintenance costs.

[0086] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the screen assembly includes a liquid crystal screen 61 and a backlight screen 62, and a display nameplate 7 is installed on the outer side of the upper shell 11, wherein the display nameplate 7 is divided into a display area 71 and an operation area 72, the liquid crystal screen 61 corresponds to the display area 71, and the backlight screen 62 corresponds to the operation area 72.

[0087] In this embodiment, with respect to the screen assembly: as the core of the display area 71, the LCD screen 61 is responsible for presenting clear, high-resolution images and text information, allowing users to see detailed information such as the device status, setting menu, temperature setting, mode selection, etc.; and the backlight screen 62 not only provides the necessary lighting support so that the LCD screen 61 is readable under various lighting conditions, but is also creatively used in the operation area 72 here, possibly in the form of touch or backlight buttons, with backlight indicating the operable area 72, thereby improving recognition and operation accuracy at night or in dim environments.

[0088] The display plate 7 on the outside of the upper housing 11 is an integral part of the remote's design. Located on the outside of the upper housing 11, it serves not only as a decorative element but also carries important functional design features. The display plate 7 is cleverly divided into two distinct areas: the display area 71, which directly corresponds to the visible area of the LCD screen 61 and is used for information display; the operation area 72, which corresponds to the backlight screen 62, integrates touch buttons or backlit symbols to instruct the user on interactive operations such as adjusting the temperature and turning the device on and off.

[0089] Thus, the LCD screen 61 provides a high-quality display, ensuring that users can clearly understand the device status at all times, while the backlight screen 62 ensures visibility of the operation area. Furthermore, the backlight design of the operation area 72 intuitively guides users to accurately find and operate, whether in bright or dark environments, improving the user experience.

[0090] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention includes the wired controller according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention.
