[0050] like Figure 2-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a single-board multi-link remote control assembly for a lifting clothes drying machine, including a control key board 10, a remote control base 20, multiple switch elements 1 for controlling functions one by one, and multiple gear control elements 2.

[0051] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the keypad 10 is integrated with multiple function keys 5, and the bottom surface is provided with key contacts 3 and gear contacts 4 driven by the corresponding function keys 5. The key contacts 3 are used to cooperate with the switch element 1 to control the switch element 1, and the gear contacts 4 are used to cooperate with the gear control element 2 to control the gear control element 2.

[0052] The control circuit connected to the switch element 1 and the gear control element 2 executes different programs in different trigger modes. This embodiment of the single-board multi-link remote control assembly is intended to achieve independent and synchronized control of different clothes drying units through a single keypad 10. Therefore, each gear control element 2 corresponds to a driver program for independent and synchronized control of different clothes drying units.

[0053] Furthermore, if Figure 3-4 As shown, a sliding groove m is provided on one surface of the remote control base 20. The keypad 10 is positioned within the sliding groove m and can reciprocate in one direction. The sliding groove m is provided with multiple gear positions along the direction of movement of the keypad 10. The keypad 10 can slide along the sliding groove m on the surface of the remote control base 20 to select different gear positions.

[0054] Each switch element 1 is grouped and arranged in the remote control base 20 corresponding to each gear position, and the active end of the switch element 1 is located in the slide groove m. The gear control element 2 is correspondingly arranged at each gear position in the slide groove m.

[0055] When the keypad 10 is moved to a corresponding gear position, the gear control element 2 is triggered by the corresponding gear contact 4, and each function button 5 on the keypad 10 corresponds to the switch element 1 at the gear position, so that each function button 5 on the keypad 10 controls the function of the gear position. By sliding the keypad 10 on the surface of the remote control assembly to different positions, different buttons on the remote control base 20 are triggered, thereby triggering different programs of the remote control circuit. Then, the function buttons 5 on the keypad 10 can be used to control different drying rod units of the clothes drying machine separately.

[0056] Such different clothes-drying rod units may be clothes-drying rods, quilt-drying rods, multiple clothes-drying rods in parallel, internal and external multi-level clothes-drying racks, and the like.

[0057] Taking this embodiment as an example, there are three gear positions in this embodiment, including Figure 2 The first gear position, the second gear position and the third gear position are arranged up and down as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the first drying rod unit A is independently controlled, the second drying rod unit B is independently controlled, and the first drying rod unit A and the second drying rod unit B are controlled simultaneously.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, the clothes drying machine includes functional modules such as lifting, lighting, drying, and disinfection. The function buttons 5 include at least a lifting control 51 and a lowering control 52. Corresponding function buttons 5 for turning lighting, drying, and disinfection on and off may also be configured. For example, in this embodiment, three function buttons 5 are arranged side by side horizontally (perpendicular to the direction of movement of the control panel 10) on the keypad 10. The left and right function buttons 5 are lifting buttons, and the center one is a lighting button 53.

[0059] like Figure 1 、 10 As shown in Figure 12, when the keypad 10 is in the first gear position, the two lift buttons on the keypad 10 are used to control the lifting and lowering of the first drying rod unit A, and the lighting button 53 is used to control the lighting of the main unit. When the keypad 10 is in the second gear position, the two lift buttons on the keypad 10 are used to control the simultaneous lifting and lowering of the first and second drying rod units B, and the lighting button 53 is still used to control the lighting of the main unit. When the keypad 10 is in the third gear position, the two lift buttons on the keypad 10 are used to control the lifting and lowering of the second drying rod unit B, and the lighting button 53 is still used to control the lighting of the main unit.

[0060] In this embodiment, the middle lighting button 53 is used to control the lighting of the control unit regardless of its position. In other embodiments, when the drying rod units are configured with other functions, such as lighting, drying, disinfection, etc., the corresponding function buttons 5 on the keypad 10 can control different functions of different drying rod units.

[0061] With the above structure, users can select and control different drying rod units and functional modules simply by sliding the control panel 10, greatly simplifying the operation process and improving the user experience. The single-board multi-link design allows flexible control of the various functions of the clothes drying machine by combining the function buttons 5 on the control panel 10 with different gear positions.

[0062] like Figure 3-5 As shown, the slide groove m is a recessed groove recessed in the upper surface of the remote control base 20. The slide groove m and the key control plate 10 are provided with a sliding guide structure. The sliding guide structure includes guide grooves e on the groove walls on both sides of the slide groove m. The side of the key control plate 10 is provided with a rest portion f that can extend into the guide groove e. The rest portion f is rested in the guide groove e and slides along the guide groove e.

[0063] The chute m is designed as a recessed groove in the upper surface of the remote control base 20. This embedded design not only effectively saves space and makes the overall structure more compact, but also enhances the product's aesthetic appearance. It avoids the visual abruptness that a protruding structure might cause, making the clothes drying machine remote control assembly more visually harmonious and unified, improving the user experience and the coordination with the home environment.

[0064] The sliding guide structure achieves precise and stable sliding guidance through the guide grooves e on the groove walls of the slide m and the resting portion f on the side of the keypad 10. This design ensures that the keypad 10 moves smoothly along the predetermined track during sliding, preventing deviation or shaking. Furthermore, the smooth material selection of the guide grooves e and resting portion f (such as wear-resistant, low-friction materials) further enhances the smoothness of sliding, making user operation easier and more comfortable.

[0065] The sliding guide structure is also designed for long-term durability. By ensuring that the keypad 10 is consistently guided and supported by the guide grooves e during sliding, direct friction and collisions between components caused by improper sliding or external impacts are reduced. This design effectively reduces component wear, thereby extending the life of the remote control assembly and reducing maintenance costs for users.

[0066] With the assistance of the sliding guide structure, the control key plate 10 can accurately stay at the preset gear position. This not only improves the accuracy of user operation, but also ensures that the remote control assembly can accurately execute the corresponding control instructions. Especially when fine control of multiple drying rod units is required, accurate gear positioning is crucial to achieving the desired function.

[0067] As shown in Figure 4-6 , a plurality of gear positioning structures are arranged in the sliding groove m, each gear positioning structure corresponding to a gear position. The gear positioning structure limits the moved control key plate 10 to the corresponding gear position. Through the design of the gear positioning structure and the gear contact 4, it is ensured that the control key plate 10 can accurately trigger the corresponding gear control element 2 when moving to the corresponding gear position, achieving precise control.

[0068] As shown in Figure 5-6 , the gear positioning structure includes a pair of parallel and spaced gear protrusions p, and each gear protrusion p has an arc-shaped groove s on the outer side. The bottom of the control key plate 10 is provided with a pair of positioning protrusions t matched with the gear protrusions p, and each positioning protrusion t has an arc-shaped convex part k on the inner side. When the control key plate 10 moves to the corresponding gear position, the arc-shaped convex part k enters the arc-shaped groove s along the arc surface to achieve gear positioning.

[0069] The design of double-point positioning ensures that the control key plate 10 can accurately stay at the gear position desired by the user during sliding. When the user operates the control key plate 10, precise positioning can be achieved without repeated adjustment of the position, greatly improving the convenience of use and the user's operation experience. In other words, when the control key plate 10 slides to the specified position, the arc-shaped convex part k will smoothly slide into the arc-shaped groove s, achieving stable gear locking. This design not only increases the stability of positioning, but also effectively reduces the misoperation caused by careless operation or external interference, ensuring the stability and reliability of the system.

[0070] The design of the arc-shaped groove s and the arc-shaped convex part k in the gear positioning structure allows the control key plate 10 to smoothly transition during sliding and positioning, reducing wear and noise caused by hard impact. This design not only improves the durability of the product, but also prolongs the service life of the remote control assembly, reducing the maintenance cost of the user.

[0071] As shown in Figure 5 , 8 , the number of gear contacts 4 corresponds to the number of gear positions, and each gear contact 4 is spaced along the direction perpendicular to the movement of the control key plate 10 and is staggered in the direction of the movement of the control key plate 10. Each gear contact 4 has a one-to-one correspondence with each gear control element 2 to generate different gear signals. The staggered distribution avoids interference between them, making the triggering more accurate and accurate.

[0072] like Figure 5 As shown, a latch hole h is provided on the key control plate 10, and a latch tongue g is provided on the function key 5. The latch tongue g passes through the latch hole h and is latched on the lower surface of the key control plate.

[0073] like Figure 2 、 4 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, in this embodiment, the width of the keypad 10 is greater than one-third of the width of the chute m. Multiple gear control elements 2 are located in the area covered by the keypad 10 when it is in the second gear position and are arranged side by side. The first gear contact 41 and the third gear contact 43 are located at two diagonal corners of the keypad 10. Preferably, the center function key contact is positioned off the horizontal centerline of the keypad 10 to avoid space and create a space for the gear control elements.

[0074] like Figure 10 As shown, when the keypad 10 is in the first position, the positioning protrusion t engages with the first group of position protrusions p1, and the first-position control element 21 is located within the area covered by the lower section of the keypad 10. A first-position contact 41 is positioned at a corresponding position on the lower section of the keypad 10. The first-position contact 41 interacts with the first-position control element 21 to generate a first-position signal, causing the function keys on the keypad 10 to execute their specific functions. The key contacts 3 of the keypad 10 correspond to the first group of switch elements 11. For example, in this embodiment, the first position is used to raise and lower the first drying rod unit A and illuminate the main unit.

[0075] like Figure 11 As shown, when the keypad 10 moves downward to the second position, the positioning protrusion t engages with the second group of position protrusions p2. The first position contact 41 clears the first position control element 21, the third position contact 43 does not reach the third position control element 23, and the second position control element 22 is within the area covered by the middle section of the keypad 10. A second position contact 42 is positioned at a corresponding position in the middle section of the keypad 10. The second position contact 42 engages with the second position control element 22 to generate a second position signal, causing the function keys on the keypad 10 to execute their specific functions. The key contacts 3 of the keypad 10 correspond to the second group of switch elements 12. For example, in this embodiment, the second position is used to raise and lower the two drying rod units and illuminate the main unit.

[0076] like Figure 12As shown, when the keypad 10 continues to move downward to the third position, the positioning protrusion t engages with the third set of position protrusions p3, and the first and second position contacts 4 are not within the position control element 2. The third position control element 2 is located within the area covered by the upper portion of the keypad 10. The third position contact 4 is located at a corresponding position on the upper portion of the keypad 10. The third position contact 4 cooperates with the third position control element 2 to generate a third position signal, causing the function keys on the keypad 10 to perform their targeted functions. This structural layout makes the entire remote control assembly more compact, and the width of the remote control base 20 can be reduced, meeting the increasing demand for lightweight and compact designs. For example, in this embodiment, the third position is used to raise and lower the second drying rod unit B and illuminate the main unit.

[0077] like Figure 3 、 5 As shown in Figure 9, the remote control base 20 comprises, from bottom to top, a base plate 6, a PCBA board 7, a soft panel 8, and an upper shell 9. A chute m is provided on the upper side of the upper shell 9. A hollow portion n is provided at the bottom of the chute m. The switch element 1 and the gear control element 2 are mounted on the PCBA board 7. The soft panel 8 has a flexible protrusion y that covers the switch element 1, allowing the active end of the switch element 1 to indirectly extend into the chute m through the flexible protrusion y. The key contact 3 indirectly actuates the switch element 1 through the soft panel 8. Preferably, the soft panel 8 is a silicone panel.

[0078] The design of the soft panel 8 is a highlight of this embodiment. Cleverly placed over the PCBA board 7, it not only protects the fragile circuit components from external impact and dust, but also, through its unique flexible protrusion y design, allows the active end of the switch element 1 to indirectly and safely extend into the chute m. This indirect contact mechanism allows the key contact 3 to indirectly act on the switch element 1 through the soft panel 8, avoiding the wear and malfunction risks that may arise from direct mechanical contact. This not only extends the service life of the switch element 1, but also reduces noise and wear caused by friction, while also maintaining the soft feel of the keys and clear feedback, further enhancing user comfort and satisfaction.

[0079] More importantly, the flexibility of the soft panel 8 enables it to produce appropriate deformation when pressed by the keypad 10, thereby evenly transmitting the pressing force to the switch element 1, ensuring the accuracy and sensitivity of the control.

[0080] Preferably, if Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the soft panel 8 is provided with a through hole r, and the active end of the gear control element 2 acts on the gear contact 4 of the control key plate 10 through the through hole r on the soft panel 8 and the hollow portion n at the bottom of the slide groove m. Preferably, the gear control element 2 is a micro switch and the gear contact 4 is a hemispherical component, so as to avoid wear caused by collision and extrusion.

[0081] Further preferably, as shown in Figure 8 The gear control element 2 includes a boss j or is provided on the boss j, and the acting end of the gear control element 2 is smaller than the boss j, and the two form a stepped structure, the acting end of the gear control element 2 extends out of the soft panel 8, and the boss j is located on the lower side of the soft panel 8, thereby realizing the positioning of the soft panel 8 and increasing the sealing of the space on the lower side of the soft panel 8.

[0082] The gear control element 2 is arranged to pass through the soft panel 8, which is different from the switch element 1 driven by the functional button 5, thereby optimizing the heat dissipation performance, helping to maintain the stability of the temperature inside the assembly during long-time use, and preventing performance degradation or damage caused by overheating.

[0083] Further preferably, the bottom plate 6 and the upper shell 9 are snap-connected.
