[0042] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0043] Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 4, one embodiment of this utility model is provided: a solar-powered RV air conditioner remote control, including a housing 3, a magnetic sliding cover 1 slidably connected to one side of the housing 3, a solar module 11 slidably connected to the other side of the housing 3, a battery module electrically connected to the solar module 11, a data processing module, a communication module, a prompting module, and a display module 4 electrically connected to the battery module, the data processing module being electrically connected to the communication module, the prompting module, and the display module 4, and the data processing module being electrically connected to a switch button 7 and multiple buttons 2. The battery module, the data processing module, and the communication module are all disposed inside the housing 3, while the prompting module, the display module 4, the switch button 7, and the buttons 2 are all disposed on the outer wall of the housing 3.

[0044] Specifically, the housing 3 is made of PC flame-retardant material, the solar module 11 adopts a double-layer nano-coating design, and is a power generation unit composed of several solar cells connected in series and parallel. Its core function is to convert solar energy into electrical energy, and the encapsulation process ensures long-term outdoor durability. The battery module includes a battery pack and a battery management circuit. The battery management circuit adopts an intelligent power management chip, and the data processing module can use a microprocessor or select STMicroelectronics' STM32F series chip.

[0045] When using the remote control, the solar module 11 is installed on the housing 3 via a sliding connection between the housing 3 and the solar module 11. The solar module 11 efficiently converts solar energy into electrical energy, which is then transferred to the battery module for storage. The remote control is activated by pressing the switch button 7 and paired with the air conditioner via the communication module. When the remote control is not in use, the magnetic sliding cover 1 is closed. Through magnetic induction between the housing 3 and the magnetic sliding cover 1, the data processing module controls the various modules of the remote control to enter a low-power standby state to save power and extend battery life. When the remote control is needed, the magnetic sliding cover 1 is slid out or the switch button 7 is pressed to activate it. When button 7 is turned off, the remote control is woken up by magnetic induction between housing 3 and magnetic sliding cover 1, or by electrical connection between switch button 7 and data processing module. At this time, data processing module controls battery module to power button 2, display module 4 and communication module. By pressing button 2, a signal is transmitted to data processing module. After processing and analysis by data processing module, corresponding instructions are transmitted to air conditioner through communication module to adjust air conditioner. Through feedback from communication module and processing and analysis by data processing module, status data of air conditioner and remote control are displayed through display module 4, thereby realizing the function of remote control to control air conditioner.

[0046] When the remote control is needed at night, the battery module provides power to the prompting module. When the prompting module detects a person approaching the remote control, the data processing module controls the prompting module to emit light and vibration prompts, making it easier for the operator to accurately locate the remote control. This solves the problems of short battery life caused by long standby time in existing technologies, and the time-consuming and laborious process of finding the remote control when it is needed at night, which makes it unable to meet actual needs and inconvenient to use.

[0047] Referring to Figures 1, 4 and 5, the prompting module includes a distance sensor 5, an LED light strip 6 and a vibration module. The battery module and the data processing module are both electrically connected to the distance sensor 5, the LED light strip 6 and the vibration module. The LED light strip 6 and the distance sensor 5 are both disposed on the outer wall of the housing 3, and the vibration module is disposed inside the housing 3.

[0048] Specifically, the distance sensor 5 can be an infrared reflective distance sensor such as VL53L1X, and the vibration module can be an eccentric rotary motor. The distance sensor 5 is located on the front side of the housing 3, and the LED light strip 6 is located on both sides of the housing 3. The distance sensor 5, the vibration module, and the LED light strip 6 are powered by a battery module. At night, the distance sensor 5 monitors the distance to people around the remote control in real time and outputs the signal to the data processing module. When a person is detected approaching, the data processing module controls the LED light strip 6 to emit light and controls the vibration module to vibrate, so as to indicate the location of the remote control to the relevant person, thereby realizing the convenience of using the remote control at night.

[0049] Referring to Figures 1, 3 and 4, a magnet is provided on one side of the magnetic sliding cover 1, and a magnetic induction switch is provided inside the housing 3. There is a preset gap between the magnetic induction switch and the magnet. The magnetic induction switch is electrically connected to the battery module and the data processing module.

[0050] Specifically, neodymium iron boron magnets with a magnetic strength of N52 can be used, and the magnetic induction switch can be a Hall sensor. The magnetic induction switch is powered by a battery module. When the magnetic sliding cover 1 is closed, the magnetic induction switch detects the magnetic field and transmits the signal to the data processor. The data processing module outputs corresponding instructions to control each module to enter a low-power state. When the magnetic sliding cover 1 is opened, the magnet moves away from the magnetic induction switch as the magnetic sliding cover 1 moves. The magnetic induction switch detects that the magnetic field strength has weakened, and the data processing module outputs corresponding instructions to control each module to enter the operating state, thereby realizing the power-saving function of the remote control.

[0051] Referring to Figures 1 and 3, both sides of the housing 3 are provided with sliding grooves 8, and both sides of the magnetic sliding cover 1 are provided with sliders 15. The outer wall of the sliders 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding grooves 8.

[0052] Specifically, some of the buttons 2 are located between the upper side of the housing 3 and the inner wall of the magnetic sliding cover 1, so that the magnetic sliding cover 1 can protect the buttons 2. Through the sliding connection of the first slide groove 8 and the second slider 15, the magnetic sliding cover 1 is limited and guided, thereby helping to improve the stability of the magnetic sliding cover 1 and the housing 3 when sliding.

[0053] Referring to Figures 2 and 4, a wireless charging module 10 is provided on the other side of the housing 3. The wireless charging module 10 is electrically connected to the battery module and the data processing module.

[0054] Specifically, when there is insufficient sunlight, the remote control can be placed on a corresponding wireless charging socket. The wireless charging module 10 will transfer electrical energy to the battery module for storage. Through the electrical connection between the data processing module and the wireless charging module 10, the wireless charging module 10 will transmit its own data to the display module 4 for display. When the battery is fully charged, the data processing module will control the wireless charging module 10 to stop charging to protect the battery. This realizes the function of charging the remote control in multiple ways.

[0055] Referring to Figure 2, a groove 9 is provided on the other side of the housing 3. A slider 12 is provided on both sides of the solar module 11. A sliding groove 14 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slider 12. The two sliding grooves 14 are respectively provided on the inner walls of the two sides of the groove 9.

[0056] Specifically, by sliding the slider 12 and the groove 2 14, the solar module 11 can slide into the groove 9 and limit the position of the solar module 11, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the groove 9 and the solar module 11. The groove 9 accommodates the solar module 11, solving the problems of large size and easy scratching of traditional solar equipment.

[0057] Referring to Figures 2 and 4, the solar module 11 and the battery module are connected via a magnetic interface 13, which is a magnetic PogPin interface.

[0058] Specifically, the PogPin interface is a precision connector interface used in various electronic products, serving as a signal transmission connection. The magnetic PogPin interface features automatic adsorption, self-locking interaction, precise self-positioning, seamless docking without additional force, providing stable and reliable contact force and connection, effectively resisting vibration and shock, supporting high current transmission, automatically disconnecting the connection when separated under external force to protect the port and device from damage, having a lifespan of up to 1 million cycles, a thin interface thickness on the device end, excellent electromagnetic interference protection, and a waterproof and dustproof rating of IP68, thereby enabling convenient installation and stable power transmission between the solar module 11 and the battery module.

[0059] Referring to Figure 4, the communication module includes a Bluetooth communication module and a Wi-Fi communication module;

[0060] Specifically, the Bluetooth communication module is a low-power Bluetooth communication module, which can use Nordic Semiconductor's nRF52832 chip and supports the Bluetooth 5.0 protocol. Through the design of the Bluetooth communication module and the Wi-Fi communication module, the control methods and control distance of the remote control communication module are increased.

[0061] Working principle: When using this remote control, the solar module 11 is installed on the housing 3. The solar module 11 efficiently converts solar energy into electrical energy. The solar module 11 is electrically connected to the battery module to transmit electrical energy to the battery module for storage. The remote control is turned on by pressing and holding the switch button 7. It can be connected to the air conditioner through the Bluetooth or Wi-Fi communication module in the communication module. By closing the magnetic sliding cover 1, the magnetic induction switch on the housing 3 detects the magnet on the magnetic sliding cover 1 and transmits the signal to the data processing module. The data processing module then controls the low-power standby state of each module of the remote control to extend the battery life of the remote control.

[0062] When in use, slide out the magnetic cover 1. The magnet on the magnetic cover 1 moves away from the magnetic induction switch on the housing 3, causing a change in the magnetic field strength. At this time, the data processing module controls each module of the remote control to enter the working state, and the battery module supplies power to each module. The remote control can also be woken up by pressing the switch button 7. Then, press the corresponding button 2 to transmit a signal to the data processing module. After the data processing module processes and analyzes the signal, it transmits the corresponding command to the air conditioner through the communication module to adjust the air conditioner. The status data of the air conditioner and the remote control are displayed through the display module 4 through the data processing module, thus realizing the function of the remote control to control the air conditioner.

[0063] When the remote control is needed at night, the distance sensor 5 monitors the distance to people around the remote control in real time and outputs the signal to the data processing module. When a person is detected approaching, the data processing module controls the LED light strip 6 to emit light and controls the vibration module to vibrate, so as to indicate the location of the remote control to the relevant person. This solves the problems of short battery life caused by long standby time of the remote control in the prior art, and the time and effort required to find it when it is needed at night, which makes it unable to meet the actual needs and inconvenient to use.

[0064] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
