Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of remote control technology, specifically a remote control signal enhancer. Background Technology
[0002] Remote controls primarily transmit signals via coded infrared light pulses. Because infrared light has a significant divergence angle, its energy attenuates rapidly with distance and angle of deviation. When used at a considerable distance, users must precisely align the remote control with the device's infrared receiver to ensure reliable signal reception. This mandatory aiming operation makes the user experience less convenient and flexible, especially in bright light or when the device is far away, making the experience even more cumbersome and inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of existing remote controls, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a remote control signal enhancer that can focus the infrared light emitted by the remote control, so that the signal of the remote control can be received by an infrared receiver at a greater distance, making the operation more convenient and flexible and improving the user experience.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention is achieved through the following technical measures: a remote control signal enhancer, comprising a housing, a reflector, and a lens, wherein the top of the housing is provided with a through hole, and the reflector and the lens are fixed in the through hole; the reflector is made of reflective material and is in the shape of an inverted cone; the lens is made of light-transmitting material, one side of which is a plane and covers the reflector, and the other side is an arc spherical surface.
[0005] Furthermore, the bottom of the housing is provided with a plug-in groove, and the bottom of the through hole communicates with the plug-in groove.
[0006] Furthermore, the remote control signal enhancer also includes a screw cap, the upper part of the through hole is provided with an internal thread, the outermost side of the spherical surface of the lens is provided with an outer edge, the inside of the screw cap is hollow, the lower part of the outer wall is provided with an external thread, the screw cap is fixed to the upper part of the through hole by a threaded connection, and the bottom of the screw cap abuts against the outer edge of the lens to fix the reflector and the lens in the through hole.
[0007] Furthermore, the through hole is inverted conical in shape.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: In this remote control signal enhancer, the infrared light emitted from the front end of the remote control enters the through hole, is reflected by the reflector to form parallel light that shines perpendicularly on the plane side of the lens, and is then refracted by the arc spherical surface of the lens and focused before being emitted outward. This can focus the infrared light emitted by the remote control, so that the signal of the remote control can be received by an infrared receiver at a greater distance, making the operation more convenient and flexible and improving the user experience.

[0012] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present application can be combined with each other.
[0013] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", "bottom", "top", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0014] Please refer to Figure 1 This embodiment provides a remote control signal enhancer, including a housing 1, a reflector 2, a lens 3, and a screw cap 4. The housing 1 has a insertion groove 5 at the bottom and a through hole 6 at the top. The through hole 6 is inverted conical and its bottom is connected to the insertion groove 5. The upper part of the through hole 6 has an internal thread 7. The reflector 2 is disposed in the through hole 6. The reflector 2 is inverted conical and is made of reflective material. Its inner wall can reflect light. The lens 3 is made of light-transmitting material. One side is flat and the other side is an arc spherical surface. The outermost side of the spherical surface has an outer edge 8. The flat side of the lens 3 covers the reflector 2. The screw cap 4 is hollow inside and has an external thread 9 on the lower part of its outer wall. The screw cap 4 is fixed to the upper part of the through hole 6 by a threaded connection. The bottom of the screw cap 4 abuts against the outer edge 8 of the lens 3 to fix the reflector 2 and the lens 3 in the through hole 6.
[0015] This embodiment provides a remote control signal enhancer. In use, the plug slot 5 of the remote control signal enhancer is aligned with the front end of the remote control, and it is fitted onto the remote control. The infrared light emitted from the front end of the remote control enters the through hole 6, is reflected by the reflector 2, and forms parallel light that shines perpendicularly onto the plane side of the lens 3. Then, after being refracted by the arc spherical surface of the lens 3, it is focused and emitted outward. The infrared light after being focused by the lens 3 can illuminate a farther distance than the infrared light before focusing, so that the signal of the remote control can be received by an infrared receiver at a greater distance.
[0016] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art.
