Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of infrared signal relay technology, and in particular to an infrared signal relay device. Background Technology

[0002] In remote control technology, to transmit communication signals between the remote controller and the controlled device and achieve remote control, an encoder inside the remote controller converts the code into corresponding instructions.

[0039] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an infrared signal relay device according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the infrared signal relay device includes: a base 1, a first steering mechanism 2, an infrared signal receiving component 3, a second steering mechanism 4, and an infrared signal transmitting component 5. The first steering mechanism 2 is mounted on the base 1.

[0040] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the base 1 is horizontal, and the first steering mechanism 2 is provided with fixing members on both sides. The inner wall of the through hole in the fixing member is provided with threads, and it can be fixed to the upper surface of the base 1 by screws. The first steering mechanism 2 can drive the object fixed on it to rotate horizontally.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the base 1 includes: a fixed platform 101, a support rod 102 and a base 103; the support rod 102 is fixed on the base 103; the fixed platform 101 is fixed above the support rod 102, and the first steering mechanism 2 is fixed on the surface of the fixed platform 101.

[0042] In this embodiment, the fixing members on both sides of the first steering mechanism 2 fix the first steering mechanism 2 to the upper surface of the fixed platform 101. The fixed platform 101 can be a circular platform, and the base 103 can be a circular base. The surface area of ​​the base 103 is larger than the surface area of ​​the fixed platform 101. One end of the support rod 102 is located at the bottom center of the fixed platform 101, and the other end is located at the bottom center of the base 103. The support rod 102 can support the fixed platform 101 to a certain height.

[0043] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, by fixing the support rod 102 to the base 103, fixing the fixed platform 101 above the support rod 102, and fixing the first steering mechanism 2 to the surface of the fixed platform 101, the fixed platform 101 can be supported to a certain height by the support rod 102, thereby supporting the first steering mechanism 2 to a certain height.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the support rod 102 is a telescopic rod used to adjust the height of the fixed platform 101. Optionally, the height of the telescopic rod 102 can be adjusted manually or electrically, and the structure on the fixed platform 101 changes with the height of the fixed platform 101.

[0045] As can be seen from the above, by setting the support rod 102 as a telescopic rod in this embodiment, the height of the fixed platform 101 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the height of the infrared signal receiving component 3 and the infrared signal transmitting component 5, so that the infrared signal relay device can adapt to remote controllers and controlled devices with a larger height range.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the first steering mechanism 2 includes: a first motor 201 and a support platform 202; the first motor 201 is fixed on the base 1, and the support platform 202 is sleeved on the first motor 201. The first motor 201 is used to adjust the direction of the support platform 202 in the horizontal plane.

[0047] In this embodiment, the fixing members on both sides of the first steering mechanism 2 are disposed on both sides of the housing of the first motor 201 and fixed to the fixing platform 101 of the base 1 by screws. A sleeve rod is included above the first motor 201, and the support platform 202 is horizontally fixed on the sleeve rod. The operation of the first motor 201 can drive the support platform 202 to rotate in the horizontal plane to adjust the direction of the support platform 202 in the horizontal plane. Optionally, the direction of the support platform 202 can also be adjusted manually.

[0048] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, by fixing the first motor 201 on the base 1 and sleeve the support platform 202 on the first motor 201, the support platform 202 can be adjusted in the horizontal plane as the first motor 201 rotates, which is convenient to adapt to the position of different remote controllers and controlled devices.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the first motor 201 is also configured to stop operating when the infrared signal receiving component 3 receives an infrared signal.

[0050] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the infrared signal receiving component 3 is used to receive the infrared signal emitted by the remote control. When the infrared signal emitting port of the remote control corresponds to the infrared signal receiving component 3, the infrared signal receiving component 3 can receive the infrared signal emitted by the remote control. When the infrared signal receiving component 3 receives the infrared signal, the first motor 201 stops running so that the infrared signal receiving component 3 maintains the correspondence with the infrared signal emitting port of the remote control, so as to continue to receive the infrared signal emitted by the remote control.

[0051] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, by controlling the first motor 201 to stop operating when the infrared signal receiving component 3 receives an infrared signal, the infrared signal receiving component 3 can maintain the correspondence with the infrared signal transmitting port of the remote control, which facilitates the continued reception of infrared signals emitted by the remote control and avoids moving the remote control multiple times to achieve the transmission of infrared signals.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the infrared signal receiving component 3 and the second steering mechanism 4 are both mounted on the first steering mechanism 2. Specifically, as... Figure 2 As shown, the infrared signal receiving component 3 and the second steering mechanism 4 are both fixed on the support platform 202.

[0053] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the support platform 202 is horizontal, and the infrared signal receiving component 3 can be fixed to one side of the upper surface of the support platform 202. The second steering mechanism 4 is fixed to the other side of the upper surface of the support platform 202. Specifically, the second steering mechanism 4 is provided with fixing members on both sides, and the inner wall of the through hole in the fixing member is provided with threads. It can be fixed to the upper surface of the support platform 202 by screws. The second steering mechanism 4 can drive the object fixed on it to rotate horizontally.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the infrared signal transmitting component 5 is mounted on the second steering mechanism 4.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second steering mechanism 4 includes: a second motor 401; an infrared signal emitting component 5 is mounted on the second motor 401, and the second motor 401 is used to adjust the direction of the infrared signal emitting component 5 in the horizontal plane.

[0056] In this embodiment, a sleeve is included above the second motor 401, and the infrared signal emitting component 5 is horizontally fixed on the sleeve. The operation of the second motor 401 can drive the infrared signal emitting component 5 to rotate in the horizontal plane to adjust the direction of the infrared signal emitting component 5 in the horizontal plane. Optionally, the direction of the infrared signal emitting component 5 can also be adjusted manually.

[0057] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, by fixing the infrared signal transmitting component 5 on the second motor 401, the infrared signal transmitting component 5 can be adjusted in orientation in the horizontal plane as the second motor 401 rotates, which is convenient to adapt to the positions of different remote controllers and controlled devices.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, the second motor 401 is further configured to stop operating when the target receiver successfully receives the infrared signal, the target receiver being a terminal that receives the infrared signal emitted by the infrared signal transmitting component 5.

[0059] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the target receiving end is the controlled device. The infrared signal transmitting component 5 is used to forward the infrared signal received by the infrared signal receiving component 3 to the controlled device. When the transmitting port of the infrared signal transmitting component 5 corresponds to the controlled device, the controlled device can receive the infrared signal emitted by the infrared signal transmitting component 5. When the controlled device receives the infrared signal, the second motor 401 stops running so that the infrared signal transmitting component 5 maintains the correspondence with the controlled device, so as to facilitate the subsequent transmission of infrared signals to the controlled device.

[0060] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, by controlling the second motor 401 to stop operating when the infrared signal transmitting component 5 receives an infrared signal, the infrared signal transmitting component 5 can maintain the correspondence with the controlled device, which facilitates the continued transmission of infrared signals to the controlled device and avoids moving the infrared signal relay device multiple times to achieve the transmission of infrared signals.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the infrared signal relay device also includes: a communication module 6; the communication module 6 is electrically connected to the terminal, the first steering mechanism 2 and the second steering mechanism 4; the communication module 6 is used to receive control commands issued by the terminal and adjust the direction of the first steering mechanism 2 and the second steering mechanism 4 according to the control commands.

[0062] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the infrared signal relay device can be connected to the network via the communication module 6. After being connected to the network, the infrared signal relay device is associated with a terminal, such as a mobile device or other electronic device. The direction of the first steering mechanism 2 and the second steering mechanism 4 can be adjusted by the control commands issued by the application or page on the mobile device or other electronic device, so as to change the orientation of the infrared signal receiving component 3 and the infrared signal transmitting component 5.

[0063] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the communication module 6 can also control the first motor 201 to stop operating when the infrared signal receiving component 3 receives an infrared signal, and control the second motor 401 to stop operating when the target receiving end successfully receives an infrared signal.

[0064] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the communication module 6 is fixed on the base 1.

[0065] In this embodiment, the communication module 6 can be fixed on the upper surface of the fixed platform 101. Specifically, the communication module 6 is fixed on one side of the fixed platform 101, and the first steering mechanism 2 is fixed on the other side of the fixed platform 101 to avoid motion interference between the first steering mechanism 2 and the communication module 6 when the first steering mechanism 2 is in operation.

[0066] Based on the above, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting up a communication module 6 and electrically connecting the communication module 6 to the terminal, the first steering mechanism 2 and the second steering mechanism 4, the orientation of the infrared signal receiving component 3 and the infrared signal transmitting component 5 can be changed by receiving control commands issued by the terminal and adjusting the direction of the first steering mechanism 2 and the second steering mechanism 4 according to the control commands.
