[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0029] To address the technical problems of remote controls in terms of waterproofing, dustproofing, and protection against external impacts and accidental activation, this utility model provides a foldable remote control that is waterproof, dustproof, and protects against external impacts, while also improving safety against accidental activation.

[0030] It should be noted that the foldable remote control described in this utility model is used for, but not limited to, remote control of water conservancy equipment. For ease of explanation, this utility model only uses the application of the foldable remote control to water conservancy equipment as an example for explanation. The principle of the foldable remote control applied to other types of equipment is essentially the same as that applied to water conservancy equipment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the first position state of a foldable remote control according to an embodiment of the present invention. The foldable remote control includes a first housing 1, a second housing 2, a first control panel 3, a second control panel 4, and a magnetic sealing ring assembly 5. The second housing 2 is rotatably connected to the first housing 1 via a hinge 101, and has a first position state in which the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are flat against each other, and a second position state in which the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are closed. The first position state is the unfolded and flush position of the remote control, and the second position state is the folded and closed position of the remote control, which is the non-use position of the remote control. With the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 closed, the internal first control panel 3 and the second control panel 4 are protected, effectively preventing impact from external objects and improving safety against accidental operation. The first control panel 3 is installed inside the first housing 1. The second control panel 4 is installed inside the second housing 2 and electrically connected to the first control panel 3 via a flexible wire harness 102. This allows for data exchange and power supply even when the first control panel 3 and the second control panel 4 are separated. It enables single-sided power supply, with the other side powered via the flexible wire harness 102, allowing for better distribution, space utilization, and control of the block components. The magnetic sealing ring group 5 is installed on the top of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. In the second position state, it magnetically maintains the second housing in the second state and seals the gap between the first housing and the second housing. This facilitates the magnetic locking of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 and provides waterproof sealing performance. This prevents the control panel from being directly exposed to a humid environment when not in use or from being submerged in water when dropped, improving waterproof performance and facilitating use in hydraulic equipment environments.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first control panel 3 is equipped with an emergency stop switch 301, a changeover switch 302, a push-button switch 303, a display screen 304, and a folding antenna 305. The folding antenna 305 is retractable. When the remote control housing is open for operation, the folding antenna 305 can be extended to the working state to realize the transmission and reception of wireless signals.

[0033] Furthermore, the second control panel 4 is equipped with a battery compartment 401, a selection switch 402, and an indicator light 403. The battery compartment 401 is installed on one side to facilitate battery replacement and space layout.

[0034] It is understandable that the emergency stop switch 301, changeover switch 302, push-button switch 303, display screen 304, folding antenna 305, battery compartment 401, selector switch 402 and indicator light 403 are all common components of existing controllers. Their structure and internal circuit connection on the remote control are existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The magnetic sealing ring assembly 5 includes a magnetic strip 51 and a sealing ring 52. The magnetic strip 51 is embedded in the top of the first housing 1 or the second housing 2. The sealing ring 52 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the magnetic strip 51. When the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are closed, the two magnetic strips 51 are locked by magnetic self-attraction. Under the pressure of the magnetic strip 51 on the sealing ring 52, the purpose of waterproof sealing is achieved. The sealing is achieved through compressibility.

[0036] In this embodiment, the magnetic sealing ring group 5 is annular in shape, and the hinge 101 is located on the periphery of the annular magnetic sealing ring group 5. Thus, when the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are closed, a sealing effect is formed around the housing without gaps, preventing water leakage from the gaps in the hinge 101.

[0037] Furthermore, to improve the sealing effect, please refer to... Figure 6 The surfaces of the two magnetic sealing ring groups 5 may be provided with grooves 53 that can be interlocked with each other. When the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are closed, the two sealing rings are pressed together, and the grooves 53 on them are interlocked to form a tighter pressing and sealing effect.

[0038] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 Both the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are equipped with elastic rubber pads 6 on their outer sides. The elastic rubber pads 6 are annular and wrap around the outer periphery of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 respectively. The elastic rubber pads 6 are highly elastic rubber protective pads, which provide elastic protection when the remote control is folded and sealed and falls to the ground.

[0039] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are respectively embedded with magnet blocks 7 that are positioned opposite each other. In the first position state, they are magnetically locked, so that after opening and closing, the two control panels can be laid flat and positioned for use.

[0040] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 Both the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are provided with magnet pieces 8 at their bottoms, which are used to magnetically attach to the surface of ferrous objects for easy operation.

[0041] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are each provided with a handle 9 on the side opposite to each other. When the handle 9 is in the first position, it can be used as a grip on both sides for easy use. When the handle 9 is in the second position, it can be closed and used as a lifting grip for easy lifting.

[0042] To better understand this utility model, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 6 The technical solution of this utility model is described in detail as follows: Through the foldable design of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, the remote control is divided into a first control panel 3 and a second control panel 4, which are placed inside the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 respectively. When closed, the control panel can be protected, and the second housing is magnetically held in the second state by the magnetic sealing ring group and the gap between the first housing and the second housing is sealed, thus achieving the purpose of protection, dustproof, impactproof, waterproof and accidental touch prevention. Furthermore, the first control panel 3 is equipped with an emergency stop switch 301, a selector switch 302, a push button switch 303, a display screen 304 and a folding antenna 305, and the second control panel 4 is equipped with a battery compartment 401, a selector switch 402 and an indicator light 403. The layout is reasonable, and the battery is placed on one side, and the other side is powered by a flexible wire harness 102, which facilitates battery replacement.

[0043] The specific embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
