Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sunshade equipment technology, specifically to an intelligent sunshade controller. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of smart homes, user demand for sunshade devices is shifting towards intelligent integration and highly customized automated control. For different types of existing sunshade motor control methods, intelligent control upgrades can be achieved by adding corresponding modules to the controller of the smart sunshade system.
[0003] If the motor only has dry contact control function, a dry contact to intelligent module can be added. This module can receive signals from the intelligent controller and convert them into dry contact signals that the motor can recognize, thereby realizing intelligent control of the motor.
[0004] For motors controlled only by high-voltage power lines (such as on / off and public lines), adding a high-voltage to smart module can also achieve intelligent upgrades. This module can process high-voltage signals and convert them into signals that can be recognized by the smart controller. Users need to connect the motor's forward and reverse neutral / live wires to the controller and configure and set them through the smart controller to achieve intelligent control of the motor via a mobile app or smart home system.
[0005] If the motor can only be controlled by a remote control, an RF to smart module can be added to convert the controller and the motor into smart app control.
[0006] If the motor is only controlled by 485 and you want to switch to intelligent control, you can add a 485 to intelligent module. This module can receive signals from the 485 bus and convert them into signals that the intelligent controller can recognize.
[0007] If the motor only has a reserved high-voltage wire control and no 485 control mode, adding a high-voltage to 485 module can convert the high-voltage signal into a signal under the 485 communication protocol, enabling the motor to be connected to a control system that supports 485 communication and adding a 485 control mode.
[0008] If the motor only has remote control functionality and no 485 control mode, an RF to 485 module can be added to achieve the conversion from RF to 485 control mode, and RF to 485 and 485 to RF can be converted to each other.
[0009] This can meet users' needs for intelligent integration and customized automated control of sunshade devices, thereby improving the user experience.
[0010] Because the system contains a large number of modules, each module's electronic components continuously conduct current and process signals during operation, releasing heat in the process. As the number of modules increases, the accumulated heat also increases. If this heat cannot be dissipated effectively and promptly, the system temperature may become too high, affecting the normal operating performance of each module and potentially damaging sensitive components within the modules, thus reducing the system's stability and reliability.
[0011] This necessitates adding more ventilation holes to the control box to achieve heat dissipation. However, this method has certain drawbacks, namely, dust may enter the control box through the ventilation holes. Dust ingress can adversely affect various modules and electronic components within the control box, such as reducing performance, shortening lifespan, or even causing malfunctions. To address these issues, we propose an intelligent sunshade controller. Utility Model Content
[0012] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent sunshade controller with good heat dissipation and dust prevention, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0013] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an intelligent sunshade controller, comprising a control base box, wherein the side wall of the control base box is provided with a heat dissipation channel communicating with the control base box, and a cleaning channel communicating with the outside is formed at the bottom of the heat dissipation channel. The cleaning channel and the heat dissipation channel are connected through a heat dissipation vent. A cleaning component extending into the cleaning channel is provided on the side wall of the control base box, wherein a sealing filter component for controlling the opening and closing of the heat dissipation vent is provided between the cleaning channel and the heat dissipation channel.
[0014] According to the above technical solution, the cleaning component includes a cleaning brush head that slides within the cleaning channel.
[0015] According to the above technical solution, the cleaning channel is roughly circular, and the shape of the cleaning brush head matches the cross-section of the cleaning channel.
[0016] According to the above technical solution, the side wall of the control box is provided with a clearance groove, and the cleaning component also includes a sliding handle connected to the cleaning brush head, the sliding handle passing through the clearance groove and extending to the outside.
[0017] According to the above technical solution, the clearance groove is evenly distributed with dustproof bristles.
[0018] According to the above technical solution, the sealing and filtering assembly includes a sealing plate, which penetrates the side wall of the control box and is slidably connected thereto. The side wall of the sealing plate is fitted with a first filter screen that corresponds one-to-one with the heat dissipation vent.
[0019] According to the above technical solution, a limiting member is provided between the sealing plate and the side wall of the control box.
[0020] According to the above technical solution, the control box is provided with multiple shielding covers, and the shielding covers are all connected to the heat dissipation channels.
[0021] According to the above technical solution, the controller also includes a control top box, the edge of the control top box is fixedly connected with multiple buckles, and the heat dissipation channel is provided with multiple snap-fit slots that engage with the buckles. The snap-fit slots are all connected to the control bottom box and the cleaning channel.
[0022] According to the above technical solution, the side wall of the control box is slidably provided with a second filter screen for blocking the dust outlet end of the cleaning channel.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0024] This invention utilizes a double-layer structure with both heat dissipation and cleaning channels. This achieves excellent heat dissipation while effectively preventing dust from directly entering the control box. The cleaning component allows for periodic cleaning of the inner walls of the cleaning channel, preventing dust accumulation and secondary pollution. The sealing and filtering component filters air during normal heat dissipation and blocks the heat dissipation vents during cleaning to prevent dust from entering. These designs work together to ensure the controller's heat dissipation requirements while minimizing the impact of dust on the components inside the control box. This provides a relatively clean working environment for the components, extends the controller's lifespan, and improves its stability and reliability. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0036] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution for an intelligent sunshade controller: it includes a control box 1, and the side wall of the control box 1 is provided with a heat dissipation channel 3 that communicates with the control box 1. When multiple modules in the control box 1 work and generate heat, the heat will naturally flow to the heat dissipation channel 3 and dissipate outward through the heat dissipation channel 3.
[0037] The bottom of the heat dissipation channel 3 forms a cleaning channel 4 that communicates with the outside. The cleaning channel 4 and the heat dissipation channel 3 are connected through the heat dissipation port 5. The heat entering the heat dissipation channel 3 will enter the cleaning channel 4 through the heat dissipation port and then be dissipated into the external environment, thereby achieving effective heat dissipation.
[0038] The dual-layer design of heat dissipation channel 3 and cleaning channel 4 forms a barrier during heat dissipation, preventing dust from directly entering the control box 1. This ensures good heat dissipation while minimizing dust ingress, providing a relatively clean working environment for the components inside the control box 1.
[0039] The control box 1 has a cleaning component 6 extending into the cleaning channel 4 on its side wall. The cleaning component 6 can clean the inner wall of the cleaning channel 4 regularly to prevent dust accumulation and secondary pollution of the control box 1. At the same time, it can prevent the dust in the cleaning channel 4 from blocking the heat dissipation vent 5 and affecting the heat dissipation effect.
[0040] A sealing and filtering assembly 7 is installed between the cleaning channel 4 and the heat dissipation channel 3 to control the opening and closing of the heat dissipation vent 5. When the cleaning channel 4 is not being cleaned (i.e., when the device is dissipating heat normally), the sealing and filtering assembly 7 can filter the airflow between the cleaning channel 4 and the heat dissipation channel 3. This filtration process can further reduce the possibility of dust entering the control box 1, ensuring a clean working environment for the internal modules.
[0041] When cleaning the cleaning channel 4 through the cleaning component 6, the heat dissipation vent 5 can be blocked by the sealing and filtering component 7 to prevent dust raised during the cleaning process from entering the heat dissipation channel 3 and causing secondary pollution to the control box 1.
[0042] Specifically, the cleaning component 6 includes a cleaning brush head 61 that slides within the cleaning channel 4. The cleaning brush head 61 is made of a durable material with good cleaning performance and can slide within the cleaning channel 4 to thoroughly clean the inner walls of the channel. The user can control the sliding of the cleaning brush head 61 within the cleaning channel 4 at any time or periodically as needed to ensure the cleanliness of the cleaning channel 4.
[0043] Specifically, the cleaning channel 4 is roughly circular, and the cleaning brush head 61 matches the shape of the cross-section of the cleaning channel 4;
[0044] Specifically, the cleaning channel 4 has a near-circular design, which allows for smoother airflow and facilitates rapid heat dissipation. Furthermore, the cleaning brush head 61 ensures thorough cleaning without any blind spots. The shape of the cleaning brush head 61 matches the cross-sectional shape of the cleaning channel 4, ensuring a tight fit between the brush head 61 and the inner wall of the channel 4. This matching shape between the cleaning brush head 61 and the near-circular design of the cleaning channel 4 makes the cleaning process more efficient and thorough.
[0045] Specifically, the side wall of the control box 1 is provided with a clearance groove 62 to facilitate the installation and operation of the cleaning assembly 6. The cleaning assembly 6 also includes a slide handle 63 connected to the cleaning brush head 61. The connecting rod of the slide handle 63 is threaded to the cleaning brush head 61, and the connecting rod of the slide handle 63 passes through and slides within the clearance groove 62. The handle end of the slide handle 63 extends to the outside of the control box 1. The user can control the sliding of the cleaning brush head 61 within the cleaning channel 4 by operating the slide handle 63 from outside the control box 1. The slide handle 63 is made of a material that is easy to grip and operate, and its length and shape are ergonomically designed to allow the user to operate it easily.
[0046] Specifically, the clearance groove 62 is evenly distributed with dust-proof bristles 64. These dust-proof bristles 64 play an important role in dust prevention. During normal heat dissipation of the device, the dust-proof bristles 64 can filter the air passing through the clearance groove 62, further reducing the possibility of dust entering the control box 1. The dust-proof bristles 64 are made of a soft material with good dust-proof properties, and their density and length are precisely calculated to ensure optimal dust-proof performance.
[0047] Specifically, the sealing filter assembly 7 includes a sealing plate 71. The sealing plate 71 penetrates the side wall of the control box 1 and is slidably connected to it, so that the sealing plate 71 can move flexibly to control the opening and closing of the heat dissipation port 5.
[0048] The side wall of the baffle plate 71 is fitted with a first filter screen 72 that corresponds one-to-one with the heat dissipation vent 5. These first filters 72 are made of high-efficiency filter material and can effectively block dust and impurities from entering the control box 1 through the heat dissipation vent 5.
[0049] When the device is dissipating heat normally, the first filter 72 can filter the airflow between the cleaning channel 4 and the heat dissipation channel 3, further reducing the possibility of dust entering the control box 1 and ensuring a clean working environment for the internal modules.
[0050] When cleaning the cleaning channel 4 is required, the baffle plate 71 can be pulled to make the baffle plate 71 drive the first filter screen 72 to a position that is staggered from the heat dissipation vents 5 (that is, the baffle plate 71 blocks each heat dissipation vent 5) to prevent dust raised during the cleaning process from entering the heat dissipation channel 3 and causing secondary pollution to the control box 1.
[0051] The design of the baffle plate 71 and the first filter screen 72 works together to ensure the heat dissipation effect of the intelligent sunshade controller during normal operation, and effectively prevent dust from entering, providing a relatively clean and stable working environment for the components inside the control box 1.
[0052] Specifically, a limiting member 73 is provided between the baffle plate 71 and the side wall of the control box 1. The limiting member 73 can limit the sliding range of the baffle plate 71, ensuring that the baffle plate 71 will not move excessively during sliding and lose its effective blocking or opening function for the heat dissipation vent 5. The limiting member 73 includes a limiting block 731 fixed to the side wall of the baffle plate 71 and a limiting groove 732 provided on the side wall of the control box 1. The position of the baffle plate 71 is limited by the cooperation between the limiting block 731 and the limiting groove 732.
[0053] Specifically, the control box 1 is equipped with multiple shielding covers 8. These shielding covers 8 isolate the various modules, preventing electromagnetic interference between them and ensuring stable and accurate operation of each module. This reduces signal crosstalk between different modules, improving system reliability and stability. Simultaneously, the shielding covers protect the modules from external electromagnetic interference, further enhancing the system's anti-interference capability. They play a crucial role in the entire device.
[0054] Secondly, the shielding cover 8 is connected to the heat dissipation channel 3, allowing the heat inside the shielding cover 8 to dissipate in a timely manner. Electronic components generate heat during operation; if this heat cannot be dissipated promptly, it may lead to performance degradation or even damage. Through the connection with the heat dissipation channel 3, hot air inside the shielding cover 8 can smoothly flow into the channel and then exit through the heat dissipation vent 5 into the control box 1, thus ensuring that the electronic components operate at a suitable temperature.
[0055] The size and shape of each shield 8 are carefully designed to accommodate the needs of different modules.
[0056] Specifically, the controller also includes a control top box 2. Multiple buckles 9 are fixedly connected to the edge of the opening of the control top box 2. Multiple snap-fit slots 10 are provided in the heat dissipation channel 3 to engage with the buckles 9. When the control top box 2 is installed on the control bottom box 1, the buckles 9 are accurately snapped into the snap-fit slots 10, realizing a tight connection between the two.
[0057] The slots 10 are connected to both the control box 1 and the cleaning channel 4. On one hand, this ensures airflow between the heat dissipation channel 3, the control box 1, and the cleaning channel 4. During operation of the intelligent sunshade controller, the generated heat can be dissipated through the heat dissipation channel 3, and the connectivity of the slots 10 allows air to flow smoothly throughout the system, improving heat dissipation efficiency. On the other hand, this interconnected design facilitates the entry and operation of cleaning tools when cleaning the cleaning channel 4 is required, making the cleaning process more efficient.
[0058] Specifically, the side wall of the control box 1 is slidably provided with a second filter 11 for blocking the dust outlet of the cleaning channel 4. The second filter 11 can filter the air exchange between the cleaning channel 4 and the outside, further reducing the possibility of dust entering the control box 1.
[0059] The side wall of the control box 1 is provided with a sliding groove 12 for the second filter screen 11 to slide. When cleaning the cleaning channel 4 through the cleaning component 6, the dust outlet end of the cleaning channel 4 can be opened by sliding the second filter screen 11, thereby cleaning out the dust and foreign objects in the cleaning channel 4.
