Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of remote control technology, specifically to a remote control with a multi-functional button structure. Background Technology
[0002] A remote control is an electronic device primarily used for remotely controlling various electrical appliances, such as televisions, air conditioners, and audio systems. Existing remote controls typically have only one button corresponding to one control command, meaning different commands cannot be sent with a single button. This limits the functionality of remote controls, and in dark environments, button locations are difficult to identify, easily leading to misoperation. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a remote control with a multi-functional button structure to solve the technical problems of existing remote controls where one button corresponds to only one control command, different commands cannot be sent through one button, the remote control function is relatively simple, and the button position is not easy to identify in dark environments, which can easily lead to misoperation.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A remote control with a multi-functional button structure includes a front cover and a back cover, wherein a control mechanism is installed in the back cover.
[0006] The outer surface of the faceplate has through holes running vertically through it. A button A is inserted into the through holes. One end of the button A extends into the faceplate and is rotatably connected to the faceplate and in contact with the control mechanism. Moving the button A forward or backward, or pressing the button A, can trigger the control mechanism to send different device control commands.
[0007] Furthermore, the inner wall of the faceplate protrudes towards the control mechanism to form a support lug, and a rotating groove is provided at the bottom of the support lug. One end of the button A that extends into the faceplate is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft that rotates in cooperation with the rotating groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the control mechanism includes a circuit board, a dome switch, and conductive adhesive arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The conductive adhesive has two trigger buttons A and one trigger button B on the side facing the button A. Both trigger buttons A and trigger button B are located below the button A, and the height of trigger button B is less than the height of trigger button A.
[0009] Furthermore, the button A consists of an operation part, a connection part, and a trigger part from top to bottom. The operation part extends out of the faceplate, the rotating shaft is located at the end of the trigger part, and the trigger part is in contact with the control mechanism.
[0010] Furthermore, the width of the connecting part is smaller than the width of the through hole, providing room for the swinging of the button A.
[0011] Furthermore, there is a gap between the bottom surface of the operating part and the surface of the shell, and the width of the operating part is greater than the width of the connecting part.
[0012] Furthermore, along the swing direction of the button A, both ends of the trigger portion protrude outward to form a pressing portion for pressing the trigger button A.
[0013] Furthermore, the outer surface of the faceplate has several button holes that extend through it from top to bottom. The conductive adhesive protrudes outward from the side away from the circuit board to form several buttons B, which extend outward through the button holes.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] When using the remote control with a multi-functional button structure, pressing button A causes it to swing forward or backward within the through hole via the cooperation of the rotating shaft and the rotating groove. This forward or backward swing triggers the control mechanism to adjust the volume or perform other functions. Simultaneously, button A can also be pressed to trigger the control mechanism, enabling a mute function or other functions. This integrates multiple functions onto a single button, allowing switching between three different functions, greatly enriching the remote control's operation.
[0016] Secondly, button A is elongated and protrudes from the remote control. The shape of button A is different from other buttons, and button A has a toggle design. When used in a dark environment, it is easier to locate button A. Everyday control functions can be integrated into button A, which is beneficial for use in dark environments and avoids accidental operation. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a remote control with a multi-functional button structure, including a front shell 1 and a back shell 2. A control mechanism 3 is installed in the back shell 2. The control mechanism 3 includes a circuit board 31, a dome switch 32, and conductive adhesive 33 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. A plurality of button holes 14 are formed through the outer surface of the front shell 1. The conductive adhesive 33 protrudes outward from the side away from the circuit board 31 to form a plurality of buttons B333. The buttons B333 extend outward from the front shell 1 through the button holes 14. Each button B333 corresponds to a different device control command. By pressing different buttons B333, the dome switch 32 and the circuit board 31 are triggered to send different commands to achieve device control. The use of the dome switch 32 and the circuit board 31 is prior art, and their specific working principle will not be described in detail here.
[0029] Please see Figures 2 to 5The inner wall of the faceplate 1 protrudes towards the control mechanism 3 to form a support lug 11. An arc-shaped rotating groove 12 is formed on the side of the support lug facing the control mechanism 3. A through hole 13 is formed on the outer surface of the faceplate 1, and a button A4 is inserted into the through hole 13. The button A4 is made of silicone. One end of the button A4 extends into the faceplate 1 and contacts the control mechanism 3. A rotating shaft 5 is installed at its end, which rotates and cooperates with the rotating groove 12. By moving the button A4 forward or backward, or by pressing the button A4, the control mechanism 3 can be triggered to send different device control commands.
[0030] Please see Figure 5 The button A4 consists of an operating part 41, a connecting part 42, and a trigger part 43 from top to bottom. The operating part 41 extends out of the faceplate 1. The rotating shaft 5 is located at the end of the trigger part 43, and the trigger part 43 is in contact with the control mechanism 3. The width of the connecting part 42 is smaller than the width of the through hole 13, providing space for the swinging of the button A4. There is a gap between the bottom surface of the operating part 41 and the surface of the faceplate 1 to avoid the faceplate 1 interfering with the movement of the button A4 when it is moved. The width of the operating part 41 is greater than the width of the connecting part 42 to increase the contact area between the user and the button A4, thereby improving the user experience.
[0031] Please see Figure 2 The conductive adhesive 33 has two trigger buttons A331 and one trigger button B332 on the side facing the button A4. Both trigger buttons A331 and B332 are located below the button A4 and are in contact with the button A4. The height of trigger button B332 is less than the height of trigger button A331, so that when the button A4 is swung forward or backward, one of the trigger buttons A331 is squeezed, thereby triggering the dome switch 32 and the circuit board 31 to send different control commands. Along the swing direction of the button A4, the two ends of the trigger part 43 protrude outward to form a pressing part 44 for pressing the trigger button A331, so as to reduce the area of the trigger part 43 and avoid the trigger part 43 interfering with the use of other buttons B333.
[0032] This utility model discloses a remote control with a multi-functional button structure. When the button A4 is pressed, the button A4, through the cooperation of the rotating shaft 5 and the rotating groove 12, can swing forward or backward in the through hole 13. When the button A4 swings forward or backward, the trigger part 43 deflects, thereby causing the pressing part 44 to press one of the trigger buttons A331, realizing volume adjustment or other functions. At the same time, the button A4 can also be pressed in a regular way. When the button A4 is pressed, the trigger part 43 presses both trigger buttons A331 and trigger buttons B332 at the same time, realizing the mute function or other functions. When the button A4 is pressed, the rotating shaft 5 moves downward and separates from the rotating groove 12. After the button A4 is released, the button A4 returns to its original position under the force generated by the deformation of the trigger button. At this time, the rotating shaft 5 re-enters the rotating groove 12, thus realizing the integration of multiple functions on the same button. The button A4 can realize the switching of three different functions, greatly enriching the operation mode of the remote control.
[0033] Secondly, button A4 is elongated and protrudes from the remote control. The shape of button A4 is different from other buttons, and button A4 has a toggle design. When used in a dark environment, it is easier to locate button A4. Everyday control functions can be integrated into button A4, which is beneficial for use in dark environments and avoids accidental operation.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
