However, it should be understood that these practical details should not be used to limit this utility model. That is, in some embodiments of this utility model, these practical details are not essential. In addition, for the sake of simplicity, some conventional structures and components will be shown in the drawings in a simple schematic manner.

[0033] Furthermore, in this utility model, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" is for descriptive purposes only and does not specifically refer to any order or sequence, nor is it intended to limit the utility model. They are merely used to distinguish components or operations described with the same technical terms and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features.

If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The exploded view of the remote control in the embodiment discloses a remote control including a housing 1, a mainboard assembly 2, a rotary assembly 3, a sensor 4, and a power supply assembly 5. The housing 1 includes an upper shell 11 and a lower shell 12. The mainboard assembly 2 and the power supply assembly 5 are disposed inside the lower shell 12, and the power supply assembly 5 is electrically connected to the mainboard assembly 2. The upper shell 11 covers the lower shell 12, i.e., the two are closed, and the upper shell 11 has a first cutout 111. The sensor 4 is disposed on the side of the mainboard assembly 2 facing the upper shell 11 and is electrically connected to the mainboard assembly 2. The rotary assembly 3 is disposed at the first cutout 111 and covers the sensor 4, i.e., when the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 are closed, the rotary assembly 3 is exposed outside the upper shell 11, and the rotary assembly 3 can rotate circumferentially relative to the sensor 4.

[0035] In practical applications, by rotating the wheel assembly 3 (i.e., the wheel assembly 3 rotates circumferentially relative to the sensor 4), the sensor 4 detects the rotation angle and speed of the wheel assembly 3 and transmits the detected information to the main board assembly 2. The main board assembly 2 converts the obtained information into adjustment commands to control the rotation angle and speed of the curtain. This design has a simple structure and can directly and accurately control the rotation angle and speed of the curtain without pressing buttons multiple times. It can adjust the light transmission angle of the curtain through continuous and smooth rotation to meet different lighting needs.

[0036] Specifically, sensor 4 is a small rotary encoder, model EC18 hollow encoder, which is adjustable and can change its output value by rotating or sliding, thereby realizing the adjustment and control of the equipment. In this example, the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12 are square in shape, and the two cover each other to form a rectangle. The main board assembly 2 is also square in shape. The main board assembly 2 can be a PCB board. When the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12 are closed, the main board assembly 2 is located between the two.

[0037] Further, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the wheel in the embodiment. In this embodiment, the wheel assembly 3 further includes at least one anti-slip element 32, which is disposed on the side of the wheel assembly 3 facing away from the sensor 4. In this example, multiple anti-slip elements 32 are provided, and the anti-slip elements 32 are striped protrusions arranged circumferentially on the side of the wheel assembly 3 facing away from the sensor 4. Due to the anti-slip elements 32, friction exists when the finger rotates the wheel assembly 3 while using the remote control, allowing the wheel assembly 3 to rotate smoothly and preventing finger slippage.

[0038] Please review further. Figure 2 and see Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the sensor in the embodiment. In this embodiment, the wheel assembly 3 is provided with a first mating part 31, and the sensor 4 includes a fixing part 41 and a code disk 42. The code disk 42 is also provided with a second mating part 421. The fixing part 41 is mounted on the main board assembly 2 and electrically connected to the main board assembly 2. The code disk 42 is rotatably disposed on the end of the fixing part 41 away from the main board assembly 2. The first mating part 31 of the wheel assembly 3 is engaged with the second mating part 421 of the code disk 42, so that the wheel assembly 3 can be rotatably mounted on the sensor 4.

[0039] Specifically, the first mating part 31 can be a protrusion, and the second mating part 421 can be a groove; the first mating part 31 can also be a snap-fit, and the second mating part 421 can be a fastener. The arrangement of the first mating part 31 and the second mating part 421 makes the assembly and disassembly of the wheel assembly 3 and the code wheel 42 simple and convenient, and easy to use.

[0040] Furthermore, review Figure 2 and see Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of the remote control in the embodiment. In this embodiment, the wheel assembly 3 is provided with a first mounting hole 33 along the axial direction, and the first mating parts 31 are distributed on the first hole wall 331 of the first mounting hole 33. The code disk 42 is provided with a portion of the second mating parts 421 extending into the first mounting hole 33, so that the second mating parts 421 and the first mating parts 31 are fitted into the first mounting hole 33.

[0041] Further, please refer to Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the first control button in the embodiment. In this embodiment, the remote control also includes a first control button 6, which includes a connecting part 61, a touch part 62, and a pressing part 63. The touch part 62 is disposed on the side of the pressing part 63 facing the connecting part 61, and the touch part 62 is located directly above the connecting part 61. The pressing part 63 has multiple feet 631. Please review. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the fixing part 41 and the code disk 42 are provided with a second mounting hole 43 along the axial direction. The second hole wall 431 of the second mounting hole 43 is provided with a plurality of grooves 432. The part of the pressing part 63 with a support foot 631 extends into the second mounting hole 43, so that the support foot 631 is engaged with the groove 432. The connecting part 61 is provided on the main board assembly 2 and is electrically connected to the main board assembly 2.

[0042] Furthermore, review Figure 1 and see Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the remote control in the embodiment. In this embodiment, the remote control has multiple second control buttons 7, which are respectively disposed on the main board assembly 2 and electrically connected to the main board assembly 2. The upper housing 11 has multiple button mounting ports 112. When the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12 are closed, each second control button 7 is distributed in one of the button mounting ports 112 and exposed on the upper housing 11.

[0043] Specifically, the first control button 6 is a pause button, located in the middle of the rotary assembly 3. In this example, four second control buttons 7 are provided: up button, down button, - channel button, and + channel button. The up button, down button, - channel button, and + channel button are all distributed on the mainboard assembly 2 and electrically connected to the mainboard assembly 2, and are correspondingly exposed on the button mounting port 112 provided on the upper housing 11.

[0044] In practical applications, since the first mating part 31 of the wheel assembly 3 is engaged with the second mating part 421 of the sensor 4, when the wheel assembly 3 is rotated, the wheel assembly 3 drives the code disk 42 to rotate circumferentially relative to the fixed part 41. The sensor 4 detects the rotation angle and rotation speed of the wheel assembly 3 and transmits the detected information to the main board assembly 2. The main board assembly 2 converts the obtained information into adjustment commands to control the rotation angle and rotation speed of the curtain. This design has a simple structure and can directly and accurately control the rotation angle and speed of the curtain without pressing buttons multiple times. It can adjust the light transmission angle of the curtain through continuous and smooth rotation to meet different lighting needs. Pressing the up and down keys of the second control button 7 can directly control the raising and lowering of the curtain, and the raising and lowering of the curtain can be stopped after adjusting to the desired height position by using the first control button 6. In addition, the - channel key and + channel key of the second control button 7 can be pressed to adjust different curtains to different modes. For example, the current mode can be adjusted to a day and night curtain, and pressing the mode button 421 can switch to the opening and closing curtain mode for adjustment. This design, through the cooperation of the wheel assembly 3 with the first control button 6 and the second control button 7, can directly control multiple curtains, making it easy to operate and meeting people's needs.

[0045] Further, please refer to Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the lower housing in the embodiment. In this embodiment, the lower housing 12 includes a first housing 121 and a second housing 122. The first housing 121 is provided with a power supply mounting cavity 1212, and both ends of the power supply mounting cavity 1212 have openings 1211. Review Figure 1 As shown, the motherboard assembly 2 has a second cutout 21, into which the power supply mounting cavity 1212 can be embedded. The power supply assembly 5 includes a power supply 51 and a metal spring 52. The power supply 51 is mounted in the power supply mounting cavity 1212 through one of its openings 1211. The metal spring 52 includes a spring body 521 and an electrical connection spring 522. Both ends of the spring body 521 are electrically connected to the motherboard assembly 2. One end of the electrical connection spring 522 is connected to the spring body 521, and the other end of the electrical connection spring 522 extends into the power supply mounting cavity 1212 through another opening 1211, and is electrically connected to the power supply 51. A second housing 122 covers one of the openings 1211 of the power supply mounting cavity 1212, and the second housing 122 is also snapped into the first housing 121. Specifically, the second housing 122 and the first housing 121 are fixed together by a snap-fit ​​method. This design makes assembly and disassembly easy, and replacing the power supply 51 is also very simple.

[0046] Furthermore, review Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the remote control also includes a display component 8. The display component 8 is mounted and connected to the side of the mainboard component 2 facing the upper housing 11, and is electrically connected to the mainboard component 2. A window 113 is provided on the upper housing 11, and the position of this window 113 can expose the display component 8. When the remote control is operated, the display component 8 will display the current mode, the angle of the curtains, etc. While operating the remote control, the user can know the operation process and the current status on the display component 8, thus eliminating the need to constantly stare at the curtains to confirm whether the curtains have been adjusted to the desired position.

[0047] Furthermore, review Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the remote control also includes a protective film 9, which is disposed on the upper housing 11 and fits into the window 113. In this example, both the protective film 9 and the window 113 are square. By setting clips on both sides of the protective film 9 and fasteners on the corresponding sides of the window 113, they are snapped together, thereby protecting the display component 8 located in the area of ​​the window 113 from scratches and damage.

[0048] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the remote control also includes a base 10, and the outer shell 1 can be embedded in the base 10. With the base 10, the remote control will not be placed randomly on a table or other location, which would appear cluttered and untidy. The base 10 can also be installed as needed at the bedside, next to a coffee table, or in a fixed location, making it convenient to pick up and preventing it from being moved or dropped, thus avoiding inconvenience in finding it.

[0049] In practical applications, when operating the rotating wheel assembly 3, the anti-slip part 32 generates friction with the fingers, preventing slippage during rotation. Since the first mating part 31 of the wheel assembly 3 engages with the second mating part 421 of the sensor 4, the rotating wheel assembly 3 drives the code disk 42 to rotate circumferentially relative to the fixed part 41. The sensor 4 detects the rotation angle and speed of the wheel assembly 3, obtaining input information for adjusting the angle, and transmits this information to the main board assembly 2. The main board assembly 2 converts this information into adjustment commands to control the rotation angle and speed of the curtain. This design is simple and can directly and accurately control the rotation angle and speed of the curtain without requiring multiple button presses. It allows for continuous and smooth rotation to adjust the light transmission angle of the curtain to meet different lighting needs. Pressing the up and down keys of the second control button 7 directly controls the raising and lowering of the curtain, and the first control button 6 stops the curtain from rising or falling after it reaches the desired height. The - and + channel buttons on the second control 7 are used to adjust different curtains to different modes. This design is simple to operate and meets the needs of users who want to adjust multiple curtains. The display component 8 shows the operation process and status, eliminating the need to constantly stare at the curtains to confirm whether the adjustment is in place. The protective film 9 protects the display component 8 from scratches and damage. The base 10 allows for installation on the bedside table, next to the coffee table, or in a fixed location, making it easy to access and preventing the remote control from being placed haphazardly or falling and making it difficult to find.
