Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy remote control technology, and in particular to a remote control button mounting structure. Background Technology
[0002] Toy remote controls have varying numbers of buttons depending on the function of the object they control. Structurally, this requires mounting holes on the remote's casing to correspond to each button. However, this results in multiple sizes of the remote's casing (usually the top shell) due to the number of mounting holes, increasing mold costs. While it's possible to directly mold a high-end version (with the most buttons) and use it consistently, the rapid pace of toy updates and iterations means the button shapes are highly likely to change, necessitating a new mold for the top shell. Furthermore, while existing high-end remote controls can be reused, product variety is significantly limited. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an installation structure for remote control buttons, which can easily replace buttons of different numbers and shapes, and the remote control shell does not need to be replaced as a whole, which is beneficial to product cost control.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses an installation structure for a remote control button, comprising a housing and at least one replacement component. The housing has first connecting holes corresponding to the replacement components, and the first connecting holes communicate with the inside and outside of the housing. The replacement component is detachably connected to the housing, and the replacement component blocks the first connecting holes. The area on the replacement component that blocks the first connecting holes is a closed area. Alternatively, at least one mounting hole is provided in the area on the replacement component that blocks the first connecting holes. The mounting hole communicates with the inside and outside of the housing, and a button is movably connected in the mounting hole. The shape of the button is adapted to the shape of the mounting hole, and the mounting hole and the button are mutually restrictive.
[0005] After the above settings are implemented, when the remote control needs to be configured with different numbers and shapes of buttons, only the corresponding replacement parts need to be replaced, or the first connection hole can be directly sealed with the replacement parts. The entire outer shell does not need to be replaced, which can greatly improve the versatility of the outer shell and facilitate management, maintenance, and after-sales service. In addition, when matching different numbers and shapes of buttons, only the replacement parts need to be designed and molded. The replacement parts are smaller, and the molds can be designed to be smaller, which is beneficial for product cost control. In other words, more replacement parts can be molded at once with the same volume of mold, which helps to improve production efficiency.
[0006] Preferably, the area on the replacement part that blocks the first connecting hole extends outward from the housing to form a boss, which is inserted into the first connecting hole. This arrangement allows the outer wall of the button to fit more closely to the mounting hole, making the button operation smoother and improving the user experience. In addition, the housing's appearance is also more aesthetically pleasing.
[0007] Preferably, the buttons are symmetrically arranged in the first connecting holes. This arrangement facilitates button operation and improves aesthetics.
[0008] Preferably, the end of the button furthest from the housing extends out of the mounting hole. This arrangement facilitates button operation and enhances the user experience.
[0009] Preferably, the replacement parts are provided independently, or at least two replacement parts are connected as one unit. Providing independent replacement parts facilitates replacement, while connecting multiple replacement parts as one unit facilitates assembly.
[0010] Preferably, the buttons on the same replacement part are arranged independently or integrated. Arranging the buttons independently facilitates replacement, while integrating the buttons on the same replacement part facilitates assembly.
[0011] Preferably, the housing is provided with second connecting holes corresponding to the replacement parts, and a light-transmitting element corresponding to each of the second connecting holes is provided inside the housing. The light-transmitting element is fixedly connected to or detachably connected to the housing. A light-transmitting ring is provided on the light-transmitting element, the outer ring shape of which matches the hole shape of the second connecting hole, and the light-transmitting ring is inserted into the second connecting hole. The inner ring of the light-transmitting ring is the first connecting hole. With this configuration, only a light source needs to be placed inside the housing, and the light-transmitting ring can be seen emitting light from the outside of the housing, improving the user experience.
[0012] Preferably, the replacement component is connected to the light-transmitting component. This arrangement facilitates assembly, reduces the number of structures on the housing that connect to the replacement component, simplifies the housing structure, and helps ensure the structural strength of the housing.
[0013] Preferably, all the light-transmitting elements are integrated into one piece. This arrangement reduces the number of connection points between the light-transmitting elements and the housing, ensures the structural strength of the housing, and facilitates assembly.
[0014] Preferably, the housing, replacement part, and button are all made of opaque material. With this configuration, only the light-emitting ring is visible from the outside of the housing, resulting in clearer illumination and a better user experience compared to the existing method of the entire button emitting light.
[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] When a remote control needs to be configured with different numbers and shapes of buttons, this invention only requires replacing the corresponding replacement parts, or directly sealing the first connecting hole with the replacement parts. The entire outer casing does not need to be replaced, significantly improving the versatility of the casing and simplifying control, maintenance, and after-sales service. Furthermore, when matching different numbers and shapes of buttons, only the replacement parts need to be designed and molded. The replacement parts are smaller, and the molds can be designed to be smaller, which is beneficial for cost control. Alternatively, a mold of the same volume can produce more replacement parts at once, improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0030] 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.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this embodiment discloses an installation structure for a remote control button 30, which includes a housing 10, at least one replacement part 20 and at least one light-transmitting part 13. The replacement part 20 and the light-transmitting part 13 correspond one-to-one, and the number of replacement parts 20 is matched according to the actual required number and shape of the buttons 30.
[0033] The housing 10 has a second connecting hole 12 corresponding to the light-transmitting element 13, and the second connecting hole 12 connects the inside and outside of the housing 10. The light-transmitting element 13 is located inside the housing 10 and is fixedly or detachably connected to the housing 10. In this case, the light-transmitting element 13 is connected to the housing 10 by screws. A light-transmitting ring 14 is provided on the light-transmitting element 13. The outer ring shape of the light-transmitting ring 14 is adapted to the hole shape of the second connecting hole 12, and the light-transmitting ring 14 is inserted into the second connecting hole 12, so that the light-transmitting ring 14 can be exposed outside the housing 10. The inner ring of the light-transmitting ring 14 is the first connecting hole 11. At this time, the first connecting hole 11 can also connect the inside and outside of the housing 10.
[0034] Since the light-transmitting components 13 do not need to be replaced frequently, all the light-transmitting components 13 can be connected into a whole for easy assembly and mold making. Of course, each light-transmitting component 13 can also be set independently, but the former is preferred in this case.
[0035] The replacement part 20 is detachably connected to the light-transmitting part 13, preferably by screws. However, a detachable connection between the replacement part 20 and the housing 10 is also possible. The replacement part 20 can block the first connecting hole 11. The area of the replacement part 20 blocking the first connecting hole 11 extends outward from the housing 10 to form a boss 21. This boss 21 is inserted into the first connecting hole 11, and its shape matches the shape of the hole. At least one mounting hole 22 is provided on the boss 21, connecting the inside and outside of the housing 10. A button 30 is movably connected to the mounting hole 22. The shape of the button 30 matches the shape of the mounting hole 22, and the mounting hole 22 and the button 30 are mutually restrained to prevent the button 30 from falling out and being lost. The buttons 30 are arranged as symmetrically as possible in the first connecting hole 11 for ease of operation and better aesthetics. Alternatively, the button 30 can be designed so that the end away from the housing 10 extends out of the mounting hole 22, which facilitates the operation of the button 30 and improves the user experience.
[0036] Similarly, for ease of assembly, multiple replacement parts 20 can be connected as one unit, and the buttons 30 on the same replacement part 20 can also be connected as one unit. Of course, each replacement part 20 and each button 30 can also be independent of each other, so that in case of damage, only the damaged individual needs to be replaced, which is convenient for maintenance.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of a remote control with a replacement part 20 having two mounting holes 22 and its matching button 30. Figure 6 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of a replacement part 20 with a mounting hole 22 and its matching button 30. Figure 7 The diagram shows a replacement part 20 with four mounting holes 22 and its corresponding buttons 30. Of course, if the remote control does not require many buttons 30, the area on the replacement part 20 that blocks the first connection hole 11 can be left without mounting holes 22. That is, the area on the replacement part 20 that blocks the first connection hole 11 can be a closed area to prevent dust and other contaminants from entering the housing 10. In this case, the replacement part 20 can be arranged as follows: Figure 8 As shown.
[0038] With the above settings, when the remote control needs to be configured with different numbers and shapes of buttons 30, only the corresponding replacement parts 20 need to be replaced. Alternatively, when fewer buttons 30 are needed, some of the first connection holes 11 can be sealed directly by using replacement parts 20 without mounting holes 22. The entire outer shell does not need to be replaced, which can greatly improve the versatility of the outer shell and facilitate management, maintenance, and after-sales service. In addition, when matching different numbers and shapes of buttons 30, only the replacement parts 20 need to be designed and molded. The replacement parts 20 are smaller in size, and the mold can be designed to be smaller, which is beneficial for product cost control. In other words, more replacement parts 20 can be formed at once with the same volume of mold, which helps to improve production efficiency.
[0039] In addition, this case requires that the housing 10, the replacement part 20 and the button 30 be made of opaque materials, so that only the light-transmitting ring 14 can be seen emitting light from the outside of the housing 10. Compared with the existing method of the button 30 emitting light as a whole, the light emission is clearer and the user experience is better.
[0040] Example 2
[0041] like Figure 9 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the light-transmitting element 13 is removed, and the replacement element 20 is directly connected to the housing 10. In this case, the second connecting hole 12 is directly regarded as the first connecting hole 11, and the size of the first connecting hole 11 or the size of the boss 21 of the replacement element 20 is adjusted accordingly.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
