Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of remote control technology, specifically to an adjustable universal infrared remote control. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of technology, air conditioners, as essential devices for regulating indoor temperature, have become deeply integrated into consumers' daily lives. Currently, most air conditioners are controlled not only by remote control but also by wall-mounted control panels. These control panels typically consist of a front panel and a back panel. The installation process involves first pre-cutting a mounting groove in the wall to match the size of the control panel, then securing the back panel firmly to the groove with bolts, connecting the power cord and other relevant wiring, and finally attaching the front panel to the back panel to complete the installation. However, the current installation process is relatively complex, causing considerable inconvenience for subsequent inspection and maintenance. Furthermore, most existing remote controls are infrared remote controls, which require pointing the infrared beam at the air conditioner to operate.

[0003] Therefore, this utility model provides an adjustable universal infrared remote control to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0024] Applicant's design Figure 1-4An adjustable omnidirectional infrared remote control is shown, comprising: a housing, including an upper housing 5 and a lower housing 6, which are snap-fitted together; a first infrared transmitter 2, mounted on the housing; and an antenna 1, mounted on the front end of the housing and connected to the infrared transmitter. The antenna 1 includes: a flexible metal tube 12, which is mounted on the housing via a connector 13 and connected to the first infrared transmitter 2; and a second infrared transmitter 11, which is mounted via a connector at the end of the flexible metal tube 12 away from the housing. The adjustable omnidirectional design makes the infrared remote control more flexible and convenient to use. Users can adjust the direction of the infrared transmitter as needed to achieve remote control of various devices, greatly improving the applicability and ease of use of the remote control. The integrated housing design, with the upper housing 5 and lower housing 6 snap-fitted together, provides a stable structure, improving the overall strength and durability of the product while also facilitating production and maintenance. The flexible metal tube 12 of the antenna 1 allows for flexible adjustment, further increasing the control range of the infrared remote control, and also improves signal transmission efficiency and stability.

[0025] Optionally, the adjustable omnidirectional infrared remote control in this embodiment also includes a display screen 3 mounted on the housing, used to display control data and status; and control buttons 4 mounted on the bottom side of the display screen for controlling and transmitting signals. The integrated design of the display screen 3 and control buttons 4 allows users to intuitively view control data and status, making operation simpler and more intuitive. The layout of the control buttons 4 is reasonable and easy to operate, improving the user experience.

[0026] In this embodiment, the adjustable omnidirectional infrared remote controller may optionally include a high-power infrared transmitter 11 as the second infrared transmitter 11. The use of a high-power infrared transmitter 11 significantly enhances the signal transmission capability of the remote controller, resulting in a longer remote control distance and more stable control performance, thus solving the problems of weak signal and short remote control distance in traditional remote controllers.

[0027] In this embodiment, the adjustable universal infrared remote control may further be provided with a charging interface 7 on the housing for charging or powering the infrared remote control.

[0028] In this embodiment, the adjustable universal infrared remote controller may further be provided with a recessed hole on the lower housing 6. The recessed hole is used to cooperate with screws fixed on the wall or other locations to fix the infrared remote controller in a specific position.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2The remote control shown has the following components: antenna 1, infrared transmitter 2, display screen 3, control buttons 4, upper housing 5, lower housing 6, and charging port 7. The antenna is detachable. When the antenna is removed, the remote control can still control the air conditioner normally and independently within a small range using the ordinary infrared transmitter 2. And as... Figure 4 The remote control shown has a recessed structure on the back, which can be used with screws drilled in the wall to hang it on the wall for fixed-point control. It can also be removed and moved freely according to the user's needs.

[0030] For situations where a remote control is used for fixed-point control of multiple air conditioners located in different directions and at considerable distances, ordinary infrared remote controls are insufficient. This is because infrared signals are directional, meaning they can only propagate and control in one direction with a short range. In other words, a standard infrared remote control, when fixed to a wall, can only control an air conditioner within a single direction and a short distance.

[0031] This product primarily addresses the limitations of infrared remote controls in terms of direction and short control distance through its antenna structure. For example... Figure 3 The main structure of the antenna shown includes a high-power infrared transmitter 11, a flexible metal tube 12, and a connector 13. The flexible metal tube can rotate in any direction, enabling signal transmission from the head-mounted infrared transmitter in any direction. The infrared transmitter 11 on the antenna is high-powered, and adding a signal amplifier can increase the control signal range. This allows for multi-directional, multi-device, and long-distance control.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
