[0029] While the present application can be susceptible to embodiment in different forms, only some of the specific embodiments are shown and described in detail in the drawings and the specification herein, while it is understood that the specification is to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive.

[0030] Therefore, one feature indicated in the specification will be used to explain one feature of one embodiment of the present application, and it is not implied that each embodiment of the present application must have the explained feature. In addition, it should be noted that the specification describes many features. Although certain features can be combined together to show possible system designs, these features can also be used in other combinations that are not explicitly explained. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, the explained combinations are not intended to be limiting.

[0031] In the embodiments shown in the drawings, the indications of directions (such as up, down, left, right, front and back) are used to explain the structure and movement of various elements of the present application, which are not absolute but relative. These explanations are appropriate when these elements are in the positions shown in the drawings. If the positions of these elements change, the indications of directions also change accordingly.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 ,Figures 1 to 3 Disclosed is a first specific implementation manner of the key-controllable remote controller, Figures 4 to 6 Disclosed is a second specific implementation manner of the key-controllable remote controller.

[0033] The key-controllable remote controller provided by the embodiment of the utility model mainly includes remote controller main body 1 and key 2, remote controller main body 1 is equipped with at least one key position group 123, the key position group 123 includes two key positions 1231 which are arranged at intervals, and the key position 1231 is used to generate control signal. The number of key 2 and key position group 123 is same, and two force columns 21 which are arranged in pairs with two key positions 1231 respectively are arranged on key 2, and key 2 and remote controller main body 1 are movably connected, so that key 2 can press key position 1231 through force column 21 when being pressed. Wherein, a supporting column 124 with elasticity is arranged between remote controller main body 1 and key 2, and the supporting column 124 is located between two pairs of force columns 21 and key positions 1231. When key 2 is pressed and one of force columns 21 presses the opposite key position 1231, the supporting column 124 is used to prevent the other force column 21 from pressing the other key position 1231. When key 2 is pressed and the supporting column 124 is compressed, two force columns 21 press two key positions 1231 respectively.

[0034] In the key-controllable remote controller of the embodiment of the utility model, when the operator presses the position on key 2 opposite one of force columns 21, the force column 21 is driven to move towards the opposite key position 1231, since the supporting column 124 is located between two pairs of force columns 21 and key positions 1231 and can prevent the other force column 21 from moving towards the other key position 1231, the operation of pressing a single key position 1231 by a single force column 21 can be realized, so that the use requirement of triggering a single key position 1231 to generate control signal can be met. Correspondingly, when the position on key 2 opposite the other force column 21 is pressed, the single triggering of the other key position 1231 can be realized, two key positions 1231 can be triggered by a single key 2, compared with the traditional remote controller in which each key position 1231 corresponds to a single key 2, half of the keys 2 can be saved, so that the assembly of the remote controller can be simplified and the appearance simplicity of the remote controller can be improved.

[0035] When the operator presses the position on key 2 opposite the supporting column 124 and the supporting column 124 is compressed, the continuous pressing force makes two force columns 21 move towards two key positions 1231 synchronously and press on the corresponding key positions 1231 respectively, so that the synchronous triggering of two key positions 1231 on a single key 2 can be realized, compared with the case of pressing two independent keys 2 simultaneously, the requirement of hand flexibility is reduced, and the operation is relatively quick and simple.

[0036] Thus, through the cooperation between the remote controller body 1 and the key 2, the operator can press the key 2 to trigger the two key positions 1231 separately or trigger the two key positions 1231 simultaneously according to the actual use requirement, that is, the key 2 can be used as a double key or a single key, which can meet various use requirements.

[0037] In the above embodiment in which the supporting column 124 is located between the two pairs of force applying columns 21 and the key positions 1231, the supporting column 124 is arranged on the remote controller body 1 and located between the two key positions 1231 of the key position group 123. One end of the supporting column 124 is connected with the remote controller body 1, and the other end of the supporting column 124 is in abutment with the key 2. Specifically, when the key 2 is pressed, the pressing force is transmitted to the remote controller body 1 through the supporting column 124 and is dispersed on the remote controller body 1, and the remote controller body 1 can provide more stable support for the supporting column 124, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the overall structure. In this embodiment, in the initial state, the thickness of the supporting column 124 is greater than the thickness of the key position 1231.

[0038] In other embodiments, the supporting column 124 is arranged on the key 2 and located between the two force applying columns 21. One end of the supporting column 124 is connected with the key 2, and the other end of the supporting column 124 is in abutment with the remote controller body 1. Since the key 2 is relatively weak in structure, it cannot effectively disperse stress like the remote controller body 1, and is prone to deformation or damage, which is not conducive to the stability and reliability of the overall structure.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 7 In a specific embodiment, the remote controller body 1 includes a shell 11, a circuit board 12 and a partition plate 13. The shell 11 is provided with a receiving cavity 111, and one end of the receiving cavity 111 has an opening 112. The circuit board 12 is arranged in the receiving cavity 111, and the circuit board 12 is provided with the key position group 123 and the supporting column 124. The partition plate 13 is used to close the opening 112 and is movably connected with the key 2. The partition plate 13 is provided with a key position hole 131 and a supporting column hole 132 which are matched with the key position 1231 and the supporting column 124 respectively. When the partition plate 13 closes the opening 112, the key position 1231 and the supporting column 124 pass through the key position hole 131 and the supporting column hole 132 respectively. The shell 11 is used to protect the circuit board 12 and serves as the basis for the stability of the overall structure. The partition plate 13 fixes the circuit board 12 in the receiving cavity 111 and provides a stable operation plane for the key 2. The key position hole 131 and the supporting column hole 132 are arranged to facilitate the interaction between the key position 1231 and the supporting column 124 on the circuit board 12 and the key 2 outside. Through the cooperation among the shell 11, the circuit board 12 and the partition plate 13, a stable and reliable specific structure is provided for the remote controller body 1.

[0040] In specific embodiments, the partition plate 13 is provided with a plurality of ribs 133, and a blocking groove 134 is formed between any two adjacent ribs 133. One key position 1231 of the key position group 123 and the supporting column 124 are respectively arranged in different blocking grooves 134.

[0041] On the one hand, each key position 1231 and the supporting column 124 are respectively isolated in different blocking grooves 134 and do not interfere with each other, greatly reducing the possibility of misoperation, and the existence of the ribs 133 can be pressed and limited to avoid damage to the structure caused by excessive pressing. On the other hand, when the key-controllable remote controller is impacted or vibrated by external force, the ribs 133 can share part of the external force, further improving the reliability of the overall structure.

[0042] In specific embodiments, the remote controller body 1 is provided with a display area 121 and an operation area 122 in a ring structure, and the operation area 122 is arranged around the outer periphery of the display area 121. At least two groups of key position groups 123 are arranged in the operation area 122 in a circumferential direction, and the two key positions 1231 of the key position group 123 are distributed in a circumferential direction. The key-controllable remote controller further comprises a display screen 3, which is arranged in the display area 121. This layout gives the key-controllable remote controller a unique appearance design, and each group of key position groups 123 and the two key positions 1231 in the key position group 123 are arranged in a circumferential direction, which improves the convenience of operation and use. Correspondingly, the same number of keys 2 as the key position groups 123 are distributed in a circumferential direction and arranged around the outer periphery of the display screen 3.

[0043] It is conceivable that the number of key position groups 123 can be two, three, four, etc., which can be set according to actual use requirements.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In the first specific embodiment, the operation area 122 is provided with four groups of key position groups 123. Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 In the second specific embodiment, the operation area 122 is provided with three groups of key position groups 123.

[0045] It can be seen that in the two specific embodiments, the operation area 122 is provided with 12 holes arranged in a circumferential direction at equal intervals.

[0046] Specifically, in the first specific embodiment, the operation area 122 is divided into four parts with three consecutive holes as one part. Among them, the two key positions 1231 of the key position group 123 are respectively located in the two holes on both sides of each part, and the supporting column 124 is located in the middle hole.

[0047] In the second specific embodiment, the operation area 122 is divided into three parts with four holes as one part in sequence, wherein two key positions 1231 of the key position group 123 are respectively arranged on two holes on both sides of each part, and the supporting column 124 includes a first supporting column 1241 and a second supporting column 1242 arranged on the two holes in the middle respectively. In a further embodiment, the first supporting column 1241 and the second supporting column 1242 are both in the shape of a semi-cylinder and are arranged close to each other on the two holes in the middle.

[0048] It should be noted that the above two specific embodiments are only two feasible embodiments of the key-controllable remote controller of the utility model, and do not rigidly limit the specific structure of the remote controller body 1.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 In a specific embodiment, the remote controller body 1 is provided with a buckle hole 135 and a guide hole 136, and the key 2 is provided with a buckle 22 and a guide column 23. The buckle 22 is movably arranged in the buckle hole 135 and forms a limiting cooperation with the buckle hole 135 to prevent the key 2 from being separated from the remote controller body 1, so that the key 2 is movably connected with the remote controller body 1. The guide column 23 is arranged in the guide hole 136, and when the buckle 22 moves relative to the buckle hole 135, the guide column 23 moves along the axial direction of the guide hole 136. Through the cooperation between the buckle 22 and the buckle hole 135 and the cooperation between the guide column 23 and the guide hole 136, the connection stability of the key 2 and the remote controller body 1 and the accuracy of the pressing operation are ensured.

[0050] In the embodiment, the buckle hole 135 and the guide hole 136 are both arranged on the partition plate 13.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, the buckle hole 135 includes a first buckle hole 1351 and a second buckle hole 1352, and the buckle 22 includes a first buckle 221 corresponding to the first buckle hole 1351 and a second buckle 222 corresponding to the second buckle hole 1352. The first buckle hole 1351 and the second buckle hole 1352 are both located in the operation area 122, and the first buckle hole 1351 is arranged on the side close to the inner circumference in the radial direction of the operation area 122, and the second buckle hole 1352 is arranged on the side close to the outer circumference in the radial direction of the operation area 122, which can effectively maintain the connection stability between the key 2 and the remote controller body 1. In the first specific embodiment, the key 2 is further provided with a reinforcing rib, which is located on the outer side of the first buckle 221 in the radial direction, and the reinforcing rib is used to provide additional support and positioning for the buckle, thereby enhancing the stability of the overall structure.

[0052] In a further embodiment, a plurality of first buckling holes 1351 are provided, each first buckling hole 1351 being arranged in a circumferential interval on the inner periphery of the operation area 122, and a plurality of second buckling holes 1352 are provided, each second buckling hole 1352 being arranged in a circumferential interval on the outer periphery of the operation area 122. Among them, part or all of the first buckling holes 1351 are matched with the corresponding first buckles 221, and part or all of the second buckling holes 1352 are matched with the corresponding second buckles 222.

[0053] In the key-controllable remote controller of the embodiments of the present application, the first buckling holes 1351 and the second buckling holes 1352 are each provided with 12, and are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the 12 hole positions. Specifically, in the first specific embodiment, the second buckles 222 are arranged corresponding to the two hole positions on both sides in each part, and the first buckles 221 are arranged corresponding to the hole position in the middle, and in the second specific embodiment, the first buckles 221 and the second buckles 222 are arranged corresponding to the two hole positions on both sides in each part.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, the cross section of the key 2 in the radial direction of the operation area 122 is in a circular arc transition shape. The key 2 in the circular arc transition shape provides a more comfortable operation feeling and improves the overall aesthetics of the remote controller.

[0055] In each of the above embodiments, the key position 1231 is provided with a positioning groove in a cross shape, and the force column 21 is in a cross shape structure, and through the corresponding matching between the cross shapes, the precision of the pressing operation is improved.
