Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of self-generating equipment technology, specifically a remote control for a self-generating sanitary ware. Background Technology

[0002] The generator-powered sanitary ware remote control is a wireless transmitting device that does not require an external power source. It uses a built-in miniature generator to convert the small amount of kinetic energy generated by pressing a switch or button into electrical energy, which powers the controller and transmits the control signal wirelessly to control other devices.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN219322764U discloses a self-generating remote control and a toilet. This self-generating remote control belongs to the technical field of self-generating equipment. It includes a base, buttons, a power generation module, and a holding assembly. The base has a module mounting slot, the buttons are movably connected to the base, and the power generation module is installed in the mounting slot. A vibration gap exists between the power generation module and the bottom wall of the mounting slot. The holding assembly includes a pressure plate and an elastic element. The pressure plate is movably connected to the base, and the buttons are positioned opposite the pressure plate. The buttons can press the holding assembly to cause the holding assembly to drive the power generation module to deform. The two ends of the elastic element are connected to the top of the power generation module and the pressure plate, respectively. In this utility model, the self-generating remote control has a vibration gap between the power generation module and the bottom wall of the mounting slot, and the elastic element provides minimal resistance to the vibration of the power generation module, resulting in better power generation performance.

[0004] However, existing self-generating bathroom remote controls suffer from poor button rebound, resulting in a subpar user experience. Specifically, this insufficient rebound may stem from poor button design, inappropriate material selection, or manufacturing defects. When a user presses a button, it fails to quickly return to its original position, affecting the smoothness of operation. Therefore, a self-generating bathroom remote control is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

A slider is movably sleeved on the left and right side near the center of the outer surface of the sliding rod assembly. A magnet is fixedly installed on the adjacent side of each of the two sliders. A connecting seat is fixedly installed on the front of each of the two sliders. A connecting rod is movably sleeved on the rotating end of each of the two connecting seats. A mounting seat is movably sleeved on the end of each of the two connecting rods away from the two connecting seats. A mounting plate is fixedly installed on the end of each of the two mounting seats away from the two connecting rods. A connecting plate is fixedly installed on the front of the mounting plate. A remote control button is fixedly connected to the front of the connecting plate. A fluorescent lamp is set at the center of the front of the main body of the sanitary ware remote control.

[0007] Furthermore, electromagnetic patches are fixedly installed at the rear end and bottom of the connecting plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the two connecting plates are respectively connected to the mounting base and the connecting base by means of a latch.

[0009] Furthermore, the slide bar assembly consists of two slide bars respectively installed on the inner wall of the mounting groove. The rear ends of the electromagnetic frame and the PCB board are fixedly connected to the inner rear end wall of the mounting groove. The slide bar assembly is made of non-magnetic material.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the ferromagnetic core penetrates the inner bottom wall of the electromagnetic frame and extends out of the bottom of the electromagnetic frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the two magnets are also movably sleeved on the outer surface of the slide bar assembly, and the adjacent ends of the two magnets are of the same level. The internal structures of the multiple mounting slots are all the same, and there are also multiple remote control buttons, which are movably sleeved on the interior of the multiple mounting slots.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner wall of the waterproof frame is engaged with the outer surface of the main body of the sanitary ware remote control at the periphery, and the main body of the sanitary ware remote control is located inside the waterproof frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the main body of the sanitary ware remote control is provided with a connecting wire, and the end of the connecting wire away from the main body of the sanitary ware remote control is fixedly connected to a connecting end.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a self-generating sanitary ware remote control, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This self-generating sanitary ware remote control, through the design of a slider, slide bar, mounting base, connecting rod, and connecting seat, ensures that the remote control button maintains a smooth and consistent movement trajectory during pressing and rebound. The sliding of the slider on the slide bar and the rotation of the connecting rod between the connecting seat and the mounting base have been carefully designed and tested to reduce friction and wobbling, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the remote control button. Through the precise cooperation of these mechanical components, users can more accurately control the pressing force and displacement of the remote control button, thus achieving more refined operation control. At the same time, these components have high transmission efficiency, enabling rapid response to user operation commands and reducing operation delays. These mechanical components are typically made of high-strength materials, capable of withstanding greater forces and pressures, thereby enhancing the overall performance. The remote control boasts structural strength and durability; its components maintain stable performance and good working condition during long-term use, reducing malfunctions and maintenance costs. Because these mechanical components are relatively independent, they can be disassembled and replaced individually for maintenance or replacement, without replacing the entire remote control. This design reduces maintenance costs and improves the remote control's maintainability and expandability. In summary, by incorporating components such as sliders, rods, mounting bases, connecting rods, and connectors, this sanitary ware remote control not only enhances the stability of the remote control buttons when pressed or released but also improves operational accuracy and response speed, strengthens structural strength and durability, and facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement. These beneficial effects collectively improve the overall performance of the remote control and the user experience.

[0016] 2. This self-generating sanitary ware remote control incorporates magnets. When the remote control button is pressed, the slider moves the magnets until the magnetic field changes between the electromagnetic patch on the connecting plate and the ferromagnetic core. At this point, the spring is compressed, providing power for the rebound. During the rebound process, when the spring releases energy to push the slider and remote control button back to their original positions, the repulsive force between the two magnets acts as a buffer, slowing down the rebound speed and preventing damage or noise to the remote control button due to excessively fast or forceful rebound. This buffering effect also makes the rebound of the remote control button smoother and gentler, improving the user experience. The addition of magnets not only increases the weight and inertia of the remote control button assembly but also helps improve the stability of the entire structure. During pressing and rebound, the interaction force between the magnets helps maintain the integrity and stability of the remote control button assembly, reducing the possibility of deformation or damage caused by external forces.

[0024] 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.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model discloses a self-generating sanitary ware remote control, including a waterproof frame 1 and a sanitary ware remote control body 4. The waterproof frame 1 is provided with a waterproof cover 2. The sanitary ware remote control body 4 has multiple mounting slots 7 inside. An isolation plate 16 is fixedly installed on the left and right side walls of one of the mounting slots 7 near the top. A PCB is fixedly installed on the top of the isolation plate 16. An electromagnetic frame 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the partition plate 16. A ferromagnetic core 19 is fixedly installed at the center of the inner top wall of the electromagnetic frame 10. An electromagnetic coil 15 is wound on the ferromagnetic core 19. A sliding rod assembly is fixedly installed on the left and right side walls of one of the mounting slots 7 near the bottom. A slider 12 is movably sleeved on the left and right side near the center of the outer surface of the sliding rod assembly. A magnet 3 is fixedly installed on the adjacent side of the two sliders 12. A connecting seat 22 is fixedly installed on the front of the two sliders 12. A connecting rod 21 is movably sleeved on the rotating end of the two connecting seats 22. A mounting seat 20 is movably sleeved on the end of the two connecting rods 21 away from the two connecting seats 22. A mounting plate 18 is fixedly installed on the end of the two mounting seats 20 away from the two connecting rods 21. A connecting plate 14 is fixedly installed on the front of the mounting plate 18. A remote control button 5 is fixedly connected to the front of the connecting plate 14. A fluorescent lamp 6 is set at the center of the front of the sanitary ware remote control body 4.

[0026] Specifically, electromagnetic patches are fixedly installed at the rear end and bottom of the connecting plate 14.

[0027] Specifically, the two connecting plates 14 are connected to the mounting base 20 and the connecting base 22 respectively by means of a latch.

[0028] Specifically, the slide bar assembly consists of two slide bars 13 set together on the inner wall of the mounting groove 7. The rear ends of the electromagnetic frame 10 and the PCB board 17 are fixedly connected to the inner rear end wall of the mounting groove 7. The slide bar assembly is made of non-magnetic material.

[0029] Specifically, the bottom of the ferromagnetic core 19 penetrates the inner bottom wall of the electromagnetic frame 10 and extends out of the bottom of the electromagnetic frame 10.

[0030] Specifically, the two magnets 3 are also movably connected to the outer surface of the slide bar assembly. The adjacent ends of the two magnets 3 are of the same level. The internal structures of the multiple mounting slots 7 are all the same, and there are also multiple remote control buttons 5. The multiple remote control buttons 5 are movably connected to the interior of the multiple mounting slots 7.

[0031] In this embodiment, the adjacent ends of the magnet 3 are of the same level, which facilitates the subsequent repulsion between similar elements, thereby providing a buffer.

[0032] Specifically, the inner wall of the waterproof frame 1 is engaged with the outer surface of the main body 4 of the sanitary ware remote control, and the main body 4 of the sanitary ware remote control is located inside the waterproof frame 1.

[0033] Specifically, the main body 4 of the sanitary ware remote control is equipped with a connecting wire, and the end of the connecting wire away from the main body 4 of the sanitary ware remote control is fixedly connected to a connecting end.

[0034] During use, the user manually presses the remote control button 5 on the main body 4 of the sanitary ware remote control. This action, by pressing down the remote control button 5, effectively pushes down the two connected rods 21 simultaneously. These two connected rods 21 then push the two sliders 12 respectively, causing them to move smoothly in opposite directions along their respective corresponding sliders 13. During this movement, the spring 11 is gradually compressed, storing energy for the subsequent reset action. As the sliders 12 move, the electromagnetic patch on the connecting plate 14 gradually approaches and eventually interacts with the ferromagnetic core 19. When the N / S poles on the electromagnetic patch change as it approaches the ferromagnetic core 19 and cuts the magnetic field, an induced electromotive force is generated on the right or designated side according to the principle of electromagnetic induction, i.e., voltage and current are generated. However, since the circuit connection caused by the direct contact between the electromagnetic patch and the ferromagnetic core 19 is not stable enough, it needs to be rectified by the PCB board 17 to ensure the stability and accuracy of the signal. After rectification by the PCB board 17, a stable signal is transmitted, which is matched with the main body 4 of the sanitary ware remote control. The receiver receives the signal; after receiving the signal, the receiver quickly analyzes and executes the corresponding control command, thereby realizing the rapid control of the appliance paired with the sanitary ware remote control body 4; when the appliance is successfully controlled, the user usually releases the press of the remote control button 5; at this time, the previously compressed spring 11 releases its stored elasticity, pushing the two sliders 12 to move along the slide bar 13 towards the center; during this movement, the connecting rod 21 plays its role again, pushing the remote control button 5 part of the sanitary ware remote control body 4 to pop up; when the remote control button 5 pops up to a certain position, the two magnets 3 will repel each other due to the principle of like poles repulsion and prevent the spring 11 from excessively opening the remote control button 5, thereby keeping the remote control button 5 in a suitable position, which is convenient for the next use and avoids damage or misoperation caused by excessive popping; at the same time, as the remote control button 5 resets, the electromagnetic patch and the ferromagnetic core 19 also return to their original positions, ready for the next pressing operation; the whole operation process is smooth and accurate, reflecting the ingenuity and practicality of the sanitary ware remote control body 4.

[0035] In summary, this self-generating sanitary ware remote control, through the design of slider 12, slide bar 13, mounting base 20, connecting rod 21, and connecting seat 22, ensures that the remote control button 5 maintains a smooth and consistent movement trajectory during pressing and rebound. The sliding of slider 12 on slide bar 13 and the rotation of connecting rod 21 between connecting seat 22 and mounting base 20 have been carefully designed and tested to reduce friction and wobbling, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the remote control button 5. Through the precise coordination of these mechanical components, users can more accurately control the pressing force and displacement of the remote control button 5, thus achieving more refined operation control. Simultaneously, These components boast high transmission efficiency, enabling rapid response to user commands and reducing operational delays. These mechanical components are typically made of high-strength materials, capable of withstanding significant forces and pressures, thus enhancing the overall structural strength and durability of the remote control. During long-term use, these components maintain stable performance and optimal operating condition, reducing malfunctions and maintenance costs. Because these mechanical components are relatively independent, they can be disassembled and replaced individually for maintenance and replacement, without needing to replace the entire remote control. This design reduces maintenance costs and improves the maintainability and scalability of the remote control. In summary, by setting up the slider... Components such as slide bar 12, mounting base 13, connecting rod 20, and connecting base 22, etc., not only enhance the stability of the remote control button 5 when pressed or rebounded, but also improve the operating accuracy and response speed, enhance the structural strength and durability, and facilitate subsequent maintenance and replacement; these beneficial effects collectively improve the overall performance and user experience of the remote control; by setting a magnet 3, when the remote control button 5 is pressed, the slider 12 drives the magnet 3 to move until the electromagnetic patch on the connecting plate 14 and the ferromagnetic core 19 change the magnetic field; at this time, the spring 11 begins to be compressed, providing power for the rebound; during the rebound process, when the spring 11 When energy is released to push slider 12 and remote control button 5 to reset, the repulsive force between the two magnets 3 of the same level acts as a buffer, slowing down the rebound speed and preventing the remote control button 5 from being damaged or generating noise due to excessively fast or forceful rebound. This buffering effect also makes the rebound of the remote control button 5 more stable and gentle, improving the user experience. The addition of magnets 3 not only increases the weight and inertia of the remote control button 5 assembly, but also helps to improve the stability of the entire structure. During the pressing and rebound process, the interaction force between magnets 3 helps to maintain the integrity and stability of the remote control button 5 assembly, reducing the possibility of deformation or damage caused by external forces.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
