Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of remote control technology, specifically to a remote control with a microphone function. Background Technology
[0002] A remote control is a wireless transmitting device that uses modern digital encoding technology to encode button information and emits light waves through an infrared diode. The infrared receiver of the receiver converts the received infrared signal into an electrical signal, which is then decoded by the processor to demodulate the corresponding instructions to control devices such as set-top boxes to complete the required operations.
[0003] As users demand a better user experience, existing remote controls are increasingly incorporating Bluetooth microphone functionality to facilitate voice control or use as a microphone. However, current remote controls typically rely on holes in the button panel for sound pickup. When used as a microphone for karaoke, holding the remote vertically as if holding a microphone can lead to issues like the hole being too far from the sound source or significant directional deviation, resulting in inaccurate sound pickup. Additionally, holding the remote can obstruct the hole, negatively impacting the user experience and hindering product competitiveness. Utility Model Content

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] like Figures 1-3As shown, the present invention relates to a remote control with a microphone function, comprising a remote control housing, a control board assembly inside the remote control housing, the remote control housing including a main remote control shell 1 and an infrared light-transmitting cover 2, a first mounting position 12 for cooperating with the infrared light-transmitting cover 2 at the front end of the main remote control shell 1, a sound pickup part at the front end of the main remote control shell 1, a sound pickup sensor and an infrared signal light 3 at one end of the control board assembly near the infrared light-transmitting cover 2, a sound pickup channel 42 for cooperating with the sound pickup sensor at the sound pickup part, a sound pickup hole 21 for cooperating with the sound pickup sensor at the infrared light-transmitting cover 2, one end of the sound pickup channel 42 communicating with the sound pickup sensor, and the other end of the sound pickup channel 42 communicating with the sound pickup hole 21.
[0024] By combining the pickup channel 42 and the pickup hole 21 in the pickup section, the sound at the front of the remote control housing can be effectively transmitted to the pickup sensor, achieving efficient sound capture and effectively improving the user experience.
[0025] The pickup unit is a second mounting position 11 located on the inner front wall of the main shell 1 of the remote controller. A pickup mounting component 4 is provided in the second mounting position 11. A pickup placement groove 41 that cooperates with the pickup sensor is provided on the pickup mounting component 4. The pickup channel 42 is located in the pickup mounting component 4, and one end is located in the pickup placement groove 41.
[0026] By setting up the pickup mounting component 4, the positional stability of the pickup sensor is improved, and the sound transmission is made more accurate, thereby improving the pickup capability of the pickup sensor.
[0027] The microphone mounting part 4 is made of silicone. The use of silicone allows for more flexible placement of the microphone mounting part 4 and improves the sealing of the installation.
[0028] The second mounting position 11 is a mounting slot. The inner wall of the mounting slot is provided with a guide protrusion 111, and the outer side of the pickup mounting component 4 is provided with a guide groove 43 that cooperates with the guide protrusion 111.
[0029] The cooperation between the guide protrusion 111 and the guide groove 43 makes the installation of the pickup mounting part 4 more convenient and its positional stability higher.
[0030] The pickup placement slot 41 is located on one side of the pickup mounting part 4, and the pickup channel 42 is L-shaped, with one end of the pickup channel 42 penetrating through the upper surface of the pickup mounting part 4.
[0031] The L-shaped pickup channel 42 can be used to effectively adapt to the position of the pickup sensor on the control board assembly.
[0032] There are two infrared signal lights 3, which are respectively set on both sides of the microphone hole 21. By setting two infrared signal lights 3, the infrared emission angle of the remote control can be expanded, thereby improving the user experience.

[0035] The remote control housing also includes a buzzer. The main housing 1 of the remote control has a buzzer mounting slot 13 that works with the buzzer, and the buzzer mounting slot 13 has a buzzer hole that works with the buzzer.
[0036] The buzzer can be configured to accommodate various user-defined settings, such as a remote control search function.
[0037] The control board assembly includes a control motherboard 5 and a button cover 6. The control motherboard 5 is provided with button controls 51 that cooperate with the button cover 6. The inner wall of the remote control main shell 1 is provided with multiple positioning blocks 14 that cooperate with the control board assembly.
[0038] The stability of the control motherboard 5 position can be improved by setting the positioning block 14.
[0039] The main shell 1 of the remote control includes a front shell 101 and a rear shell 102, both of which are provided with a gripping arc surface.
[0040] The curved grip design makes it more comfortable for users to hold the remote control when using it as a microphone, thus improving the user experience.
[0041] The remote control housing also includes a light-guiding silicone 7. The control board assembly is equipped with a signal indicator light. The main housing 1 of the remote control is equipped with an indicator light hole 15 that cooperates with the signal indicator light. The inner wall of the main housing 1 of the remote control is equipped with a silicone mounting position that cooperates with the light-guiding silicone 7 at the position corresponding to the indicator light hole 15. The signal indicator light is located below the light-guiding silicone 7.
[0042] By setting the light guide silicone 7, the light from the signal indicator can be diffused and reflected, turning the light into soft light that shines out from the indicator hole 15, thus improving the user's visual experience.
[0043] As can be seen from the above, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: it can effectively solve the problem that the sound pickup part of the remote control is set on the button panel in the prior art, which is easy to be blocked or has inaccurate sound pickup. Through the cooperation of the sound pickup channel and the sound pickup hole in the sound pickup part of this structure, the distance between the sound pickup part and the sound source can be effectively shortened, and the sound at the front of the remote control shell can be accurately transmitted to the sound pickup sensor. When the user holds the remote control to sing karaoke, efficient sound capture can be achieved, which effectively improves the user experience and the competitiveness of the product.
