[0012] Appendix Figure 1 This is a front view of the bathroom mirror in Embodiment 1 of this utility model;
[0013] Appendix Figure 2 This is a block diagram illustrating the principle of the bathroom cabinet remote control controller in Embodiment 1 of this utility model.
[0014] Appendix Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the 433MHz wireless transmission circuit in the bathroom cabinet remote control controller of Embodiment 1 of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0015] Example 1 Figure 1As shown: This embodiment is a remote control for a bathroom cabinet in a bathroom fixture, including a bathroom mirror 100, a washbasin 200, and a bathroom cabinet 300, which are sold as a set of bathroom furniture. The bathroom mirror 100 is equipped with a mirror light and an anti-fog device. Therefore, the mirror 100 has an operating area 110 for controlling the lights and other functions. Since the bathroom cabinet 300 is installed below the washbasin 200, and the lights in the cabinet 300 need to be controlled, if the switches and buttons on the cabinet 300 were installed directly on it, the user would have to bend down, creating a poor user experience. Therefore, the controls for the electrical appliances, including lights and hair dryers, on the lower part of the cabinet 300 are moved to the upper part. The operating area 110 on the bathroom mirror 100 allows for unified control of the lights and other functions within the cabinet 300. Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment includes a bathroom mirror 100 with a bathroom mirror light installed, and a bathroom cabinet 300 with a bathroom cabinet light installed. The bathroom mirror 100 includes an operation area 110, which includes a bathroom cabinet light control button for controlling the bathroom cabinet 300. The circuit board inside the bathroom mirror 100 also includes a signal acquisition device and a wireless transmitter for acquiring signals from the bathroom cabinet light control button. The signal acquisition device acquires a signal indicating that the bathroom cabinet light control button is pressed, which is then transmitted by the wireless transmitter. The circuit board on the bathroom cabinet 300 also includes a wireless signal receiver and a signal processing device that processes the signals received by the wireless signal receiver and transmitted by the wireless transmitter to obtain control signals for controlling the bathroom cabinet light. The device receives the control signals and generates control commands to control the bathroom cabinet light switch.
[0016] like Figure 2 As shown: In this embodiment, the operating area 110 on the bathroom mirror 100 is a touch screen. This touch screen includes control buttons for the bathroom mirror light, the defogging heating component, and the controller, as well as at least two control buttons for the bathroom cabinet light: a brightness increase button and a brightness decrease button. The brightness of the light inside the bathroom cabinet can be adjusted using these buttons. In this embodiment, the light inside the bathroom cabinet 300 is an LED light. By controlling the current to these LED lights, their brightness can be controlled. The brightness of the light in the bathroom cabinet can be adjusted digitally, dividing the light into several segments, such as ten segments. Each press of the brightness increase button increases the light by one level, and each press of the brightness decrease button decreases the light by one level. The signal processing device generates different PWM signals to control the switch based on the number of button presses. Thus, different duty cycles of the PWM signals correspond to different brightness levels. Here, there are ten different PWM duty cycles. When the duty cycle is 0%, the LED light is off, while when the duty cycle is 100%, it is the brightest.
[0017] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the signal acquisition device includes a commercially available chip U1 with model number ZX968-1. Pin 2 of chip U1, marked PB1, is connected to one end of the brightness increase button and the brightness decrease button. The other end of the brightness increase button and the brightness decrease button are respectively connected to pin 7 of chip U1, marked REM, or the power supply B+. The information acquired from the brightness increase button and the brightness decrease button is formed into an electrical signal and output from pin 6 of chip U1, marked PB3.
[0018] In this embodiment, the wireless remote control uses a 433MHz radio frequency signal. The wireless transmitter uses a 433MHz radio frequency transmitter and a transmitter chip of model XL4456 to modulate the signal output from the signal acquisition device onto a 433MHz radio frequency signal for transmission. On the circuit board of the bathroom cabinet 300, the wireless signal receiver also uses a 433MHz radio frequency signal receiver.
[0019] In other embodiments, the wireless transmitter is a Bluetooth wireless transmitter, and the wireless signal receiver on the circuit board of the bathroom cabinet (300) is also a Bluetooth signal receiver.
