[0031] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 The embodiments of the present application are described in further detail.

[0032] See Figures 1 to 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a remote control mechanism, wherein Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a control component in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2An exploded view of a remote control mechanism in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the remote control mechanism includes a control component 1, a packaging component 2, and a trigger component 3, wherein the control component 1 can generate a control signal when triggered by the trigger component 3 to achieve remote control of the receiving device. In the embodiment of the present application, the control component 1 can specifically be a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). In addition, a packaging area 5 is formed inside the packaging component 2. The control component 1 is accommodated in the packaging area 5 and surrounded by the packaging component 2, thereby achieving complete isolation between the electronic part PCBA and the mechanical part, so that the PCBA has sufficient sealing and waterproof properties to achieve isolation protection of the PCBA, thereby extending the service life of the control component 1.

[0034] Specifically, trigger assembly 3 includes a magnetic member 31, a magnetic sensing element 32, and a handle 33. Magnetic member 31 is mounted on handle 33. One end of handle 33 is rotatably connected to the aforementioned packaging assembly 2, and the other end is used for operator manipulation. Magnetic sensing element 32 is located within the aforementioned packaging area 5 and is connected to the aforementioned control assembly 1.

[0035] In the embodiments of the present application, the magnetic member 31 may be a magnet, and the magnetic sensing element 32 may be at least one of a Hall effect element, a coil, a reed switch, a semiconductor magnetoresistive element, and a magnetoresistive element, preferably a Hall effect element. In some embodiments, the magnetic member 31 is embedded within the handle 33 by means of an interference fit. In other embodiments, the magnetic member 31 may be secured to the handle 33 by means of adhesive bonding, screwing, or ultrasonic welding. In some embodiments, the magnetic member 31 may be placed into the mold cavity during the injection molding of the handle 33, so that the magnetic member 31 and the handle 33 are integrally embedded after the handle 33 is cast.

[0036] Combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a remote control mechanism in one embodiment of the present application is shown (without signal output); Figure 4 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a remote control mechanism (with signal output) in one embodiment of the present application is shown. In some embodiments, the end of the handle 33 that is used for operator manipulation is defined as the movable end, while the end of the handle 33 that is rotatably connected to the package assembly 2 is defined as the rotating end. The movable end of the handle 33 has a trigger position and an off position spaced apart from each other. Both the trigger position and the off position are located on a circular arc formed by the movable end rotating about the rotating end.

[0037] Driven by external force, the movable end of the handle 33 can switch freely between the trigger position and the off position, thereby driving the magnetic part 31 installed on the handle 33 to approach or move away from the magnetic sensing element 32, so that the magnetic part 31 drives the magnetic induction area to move under the drive of external force, so that the magnetic induction element 32 enters or leaves the magnetic induction area of ​​the magnetic part 31, thereby causing the control component 1 connected to the magnetic induction element 32 to generate or stop generating a control signal.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the handle 33 is in the trigger position, the magnetic sensing element 32 is separated from the magnetic sensing area generated by the magnetic member 31. After the magnetic sensing element 32 cannot sense the magnetic field of the magnetic member 31, the control component 1 connected to the magnetic sensing element 32 immediately generates a control signal; Figure 3 As shown, when the handle 33 is switched to the off position, the magnetic induction element 32 enters the magnetic induction area generated by the magnetic part 31. After the magnetic induction element 32 senses the magnetic field of the magnetic part 31, the control component 1 connected to the magnetic induction element 32 stops transmitting the control signal.

[0039] As shown in the remote control mechanism of the present application, with the help of the rotation of the handle 33, the magnetic induction element 32 enters or leaves the magnetic induction area of ​​the magnetic part 31. When the magnetic induction element 32 leaves the magnetic induction area of ​​the magnetic part 31, the control signal is triggered, and when the magnetic induction element 32 enters the magnetic induction area of ​​the magnetic part 31, the control signal is stopped from being triggered, so as to realize the magnetic induction triggering of the signal, thereby avoiding the disadvantages of the service life of the mechanical switch while improving the product usage experience.

[0040] See Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a remote control in an embodiment of the present application is shown. In some embodiments, the remote control mechanism further includes a reset member 4, which is installed on the side of the handle 33 facing away from the magnetic sensing element 32. During the process of the movable end of the handle 33 rotating from the off position to the trigger position, the reset member 4 will always maintain a tendency to rotate toward the off position under the squeezing of the handle 33, thereby facilitating the automatic reset of the handle 33 after the operator releases the handle, so that the handle 33 returns to the off position under the drive of the reset member 4, thereby further improving the user experience of the product.

[0041] Continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the packaging assembly 2 includes an upper cover 21 and a lower base 22, and the upper cover 21 and the lower base 22 are detachably connected together and enclose the above-mentioned packaging area 5. The above-mentioned handle 33 is fixed to the lower base 22 by a rotating shaft. In the embodiment of the present application, the upper cover 21 protrudes toward one side of the lower base 22 to form a buckle 211, and the lower base 22 is provided with a fitting groove 221 on the side facing the upper cover 21. The buckle 211 can be adapted to fit into the fitting groove 221 to achieve a detachable connection between the upper cover 21 and the lower base 22.

[0042] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the upper cover 21 and the lower base 22 can also be connected by means such as bolt connection or bonding, as long as they can be enclosed to form a closed interval for surrounding the control component 1. The specific connection method is not limited in this application.

[0043] Furthermore, in some other embodiments, the packaging component 2 also includes a sealing ring 23 provided in the packaging interval 5. The sealing ring 23 is sleeved on the periphery of the control component 1 and interference-fitted in the packaging interval 5, and is used to achieve complete isolation of the electronic part PCBA and the mechanical part to prevent water from entering from the upper part or side of the packaging interval 5, so that the PCBA has sufficient sealing and waterproof properties to extend the service life of the remote control mechanism.

[0044] Specific reference Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the control assembly 1 includes a substrate 11, a microcontroller, and a signal transmitter 12, which are located within the mounting area. In the present embodiment, the substrate 11 is a PCB, the microcontroller is an MCU, and the signal transmitter 12 includes, but is not limited to, an infrared lamp or a Bluetooth transmitter. The microcontroller and signal transmitter 12 are both soldered to the substrate 11, and the microcontroller is connected to the signal transmitter 12. The signal transmitter 12 can generate a control signal when driven by the trigger assembly 3.

[0045] Specifically, when the magnetic sensing element 32 is a Hall element, the Hall element utilizes the Hall effect; when the magnetic sensing element 32 is a magnetoresistive element, the magnetoresistive effect is utilized; and when the magnetic sensing element 32 is a magnetosensitive element, the magnetosensitive element utilizes the magnetic coupling effect. When the external magnetic field changes, the magnetic sensing element 32 generates a corresponding electrical signal, taking the example of entering or exiting the magnetic sensing area generated by the magnetic member 31 in the embodiments of this application. In this application, the magnetic sensing element 32 is described as a Hall element. A magnetic sensing area is formed around the magnetic member 31, and the Hall element can generate a corresponding electrical signal by entering the magnetic sensing area.

[0046] When the magnetic member 31 is switched to the trigger position as the handle 33 is rotated, the Hall element is separated from the magnetic induction area generated by the magnetic member 31. At this time, the Hall element does not generate an electrical signal and is in the disconnected state. When no electrical signal is generated, the microcontroller controls the signal transmitter 12 to transmit a control signal, and the receiving device processes the signal after receiving the control signal.

[0047] When the magnetic member 31 is switched to the off position as the handle 33 is rotated, the Hall effect element enters the magnetic sensing area of ​​the magnetic member 31, and the Hall effect element generates an electrical signal, indicating a closed state. When the electrical signal is generated, the microcontroller controls the signal transmitter 12 to stop operating, thereby stopping the generation of control signals.

[0048] The solution shown in the above embodiment is a reverse application of the Hall element.

[0049] Continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the remote control mechanism further includes an input power supply 13, which is mounted on the substrate 11 and electrically connected to the various components soldered to the substrate 11 to power the entire PCBA. In this embodiment, the input power supply 13 can specifically be a battery mounted on the substrate 11, such as a button cell. In other embodiments, the PCBA can also be directly connected to an external DC power supply. Specifically, the aforementioned microcontroller and signal transmitter 12 can both be directly connected to an external DC power supply to power the entire control assembly 1.

[0050] Combine Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the present application also provides a remote control, which includes a shell 6 and a remote control mechanism as shown in any of the above embodiments, a receiving cavity 61 is formed inside the shell 6, and the remote control mechanism is at least partially accommodated in the receiving cavity 61, and the upper cover and lower base 22 of the packaging component 2 are respectively detachably connected to the shell 6, and at least a portion of the handle 33 passes through a side wall of the shell 6 and extends out of the receiving cavity 61 for operator control.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the remote control is specifically a magnetic induction triggered remote control device. This device is triggered by magnetic induction, which avoids the disadvantage of limited service life of mechanical switches, while also increasing the novelty of the product and helping to improve user experience.

[0052] In some other embodiments, the remote control includes multiple remote control mechanisms, all of which are installed in a certain order on the housing 6. Similar to the above embodiment, the remote control mechanism is also at least partially accommodated in the accommodating cavity 61, and the movable end of the handle 33 of the remote control mechanism extends out of the accommodating cavity 61. In the embodiment of the present application, for the convenience of explanation, Figure 5 As shown in the example, Figure 5 The extension direction of the middle housing 6 is defined as the height direction, and the radial direction of the housing 6 is defined as the horizontal direction. In some embodiments, all remote control mechanisms are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction; in other embodiments, the remote control mechanisms can be arranged vertically. In other words, multiple PCBAs can be arranged side by side or one above the other, and the magnetic components 31 can be arranged side by side or one above the other depending on the required magnetic induction range.

[0053] Figure 5 The integrated design of the remote control and the watering can 7 shown in this application is shown. The watering can 7 is integrated and arranged in the accommodating cavity 61. Combined with the working principle of the remote control mechanism, the remote control can be used with various receiving devices, such as display screens, so as to control the display screen to execute corresponding commands by means of magnetic induction triggering remote control. Among them, the display screen can be an advertising screen, a flower and grass entertainment screen, etc. In some embodiments, the remote control can be used to control the opening and closing of the advertising screen and the flower and grass entertainment screen. In some other embodiments, the remote control, on the basis of realizing the control of opening and closing the display screen, also has the function of controlling the display screen to display or switch different pattern images according to different control signals. In some other embodiments, the remote control can also control the display screen to perform other functions, which are not described here.

[0054] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0055] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
