[0001] This utility model relates to the field of remote control device technology, and in particular to a multifunctional remote control device. Background Technology

[0002] A remote control device is a device that allows users to control electronic products remotely, providing convenience to users.

[0003] Especially in the field of robotics, in order to ensure that robots work stably according to user needs, it is generally necessary to customize a multi-functional remote control device for each robot. Through this device, users can control the robot to perform various functions, including moving forward, backward, left, and right, adjusting the action mode, and making sounds. However, the existing remote control devices are relatively fragile and easily damaged, and generally need to be directly facing the robot to operate stably, which hinders the development of robot functions. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional remote control device, which aims to improve the structural strength of the device and achieve fast and stable control.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a multifunctional remote control device, including an upper housing, a lower housing, and a control component disposed between the upper housing and the lower housing. The upper housing and the lower housing are provided with mounting cavities for fixing the control component. The upper housing is provided with multiple equally spaced operating slots around the central axis at vertical height positions. The control component is provided with multiple sets of operating parts relative to the multiple operating slots.

[0006] The upper and lower housings are provided with multiple transmitting sections facing the control component, and the control component is provided with multiple transmitting elements relative to the transmitting sections.

[0007] In one embodiment of this application, the upper shell and the lower shell are provided with a plurality of stabilizing grooves, and the upper shell and the lower shell are assembled to form a whole sphere. The stabilizing grooves include at least six grooves located in three mutually perpendicular axial directions of the whole sphere.

[0008] The top of the upper housing and the bottom of the lower housing are each provided with a stabilizing groove.

[0009] In one embodiment of this application, a plurality of the operating parts are located between the launching part and the stabilizing groove, and surround the stabilizing groove on the top of the upper housing.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, an operating part is provided in the stabilizing groove at the top of the upper housing.

[0011] In one embodiment of this application, one end of the control component is connected to a charging unit, which passes through a stabilizing groove located between the upper housing and the lower housing.

[0012] In one embodiment of this application, the transmitter is an infrared emitting element, and a plurality of transmitters are arranged sequentially around the control assembly, with the preceding transmitter facing the emitting part on the upper housing and the following transmitter facing the emitting part on the lower housing.

[0013] In one embodiment of this application, the control component includes a circuit board located between the upper housing and the lower housing, the circuit board having a main control chip, and the main control chip being connected to a wireless connection unit for connecting to an external device;

[0014] The transmitter is connected to the circuit board.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] Structurally, this application can be divided into an upper shell, a lower shell, and a control component. An installation cavity is provided between the upper shell and the lower shell. The outer periphery of the control component is fixed by the upper shell and the lower shell. The installation cavity, as a hollow cavity, allows the control component to be installed easily while also providing vibration isolation. This ensures the integrity of the entire structure when the remote control device falls. This structure can significantly improve the structural strength of the equipment.

[0017] The upper housing has multiple operating slots circumferentially spaced at the same horizontal level. Multiple operating units are connected to the control assembly. The remote control device of this application is mainly used to control the robot dog. Therefore, the operating units can include multiple sets of operating units such as those for stunt performances, follow-up activation, previous / next track adjustment, volume up / down adjustment, special mode control, and forward / backward / left / right movement. In particular, different sets of operating units can be located in the same operating slot. For example, the previous / next track adjustment and volume up / down adjustment buttons can be located in one operating slot. Pressing a button controls the previous / next track adjustment, while a long press controls the volume up / down adjustment. Multiple operating units enable the remote control device to achieve multi-functional control. Their circular arrangement on the top of the upper housing facilitates the use of these multi-functional operating units, improving the user experience.

[0018] The upper housing has multiple transmitters circumferentially arranged, while the lower housing has multiple transmitters relative to the transmitters on the upper housing. This makes the center of gravity of the entire remote control device more even, which can improve the structural strength of the entire remote control device. At the same time, it can make multiple transmitters cover a larger area. The control component is located between the upper and lower housings. The transmitters on the control component can be easily set towards the transmitters to improve the signal transmission coverage of the remote control device, enabling the remote control device to achieve more sensitive and stable control.

[0028] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 6 To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a multi-functional remote control device, including an upper housing 1, a lower housing 2, and a control component 5 disposed between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2. The upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 are provided with mounting cavities for fixing the control component 5. The upper housing 1 is provided with multiple equally spaced operating slots 11 around the central axis at vertical height positions. The control component 5 is provided with multiple sets of operating parts 51 relative to the multiple operating slots 11.

[0031] The upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 are provided with multiple transmitting parts 3 facing the control component 5, and the control component 5 is provided with multiple transmitting elements 63 opposite to the transmitting parts 3.

[0032] Structurally, this application can be divided into an upper shell 1, a lower shell 2, and a control component 5. An installation cavity is provided between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. The outer periphery of the control component 5 is fixed by the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. The installation cavity, as a hollow cavity, allows the control component 5 to be installed easily while also providing vibration isolation. This ensures the integrity of the entire structure when the remote control device falls. This structure can significantly improve the structural strength of the equipment.

[0033] The upper housing 1 has multiple operating slots 11 circumferentially spaced at the same horizontal height. The control component 5 is connected to multiple sets of operating parts 51. The remote control device of this application is mainly used to control the robot dog. Therefore, the operating parts 51 may include multiple sets of operating parts 51 such as special effects performance, follow start, previous and next track adjustment, volume up and volume down adjustment, special mode control, and forward, backward, left and right movement. In particular, different sets of operating parts 51 can be located in the same operating slot 11. For example, the previous and next track adjustment and the volume up and volume down adjustment buttons can be located in the same operating slot 11. The previous and next track adjustment is controlled by pressing, and the volume up and volume down adjustment is controlled by pressing and holding. Multiple sets of operating parts 51 enable the remote control device to achieve multi-functional control. They are all arranged in a ring shape on the top of the upper housing 1, which makes these multi-functional operating parts 51 easy to use and improves the user experience.

[0034] The upper housing 1 has multiple transmitters 3 arranged circumferentially, while the lower housing 2 has multiple transmitters 3 arranged opposite to the transmitters 3 on the upper housing 1. This makes the center of gravity of the entire remote control device more uniform, improves the structural strength of the entire remote control device, and allows the multiple transmitters 3 to cover a larger area. The control component 5 is located between the upper and lower housings. The transmitter 63 on the control component 5 can be conveniently set towards the transmitters 3 to improve the signal transmission coverage of the remote control device, enabling the remote control device to achieve more sensitive and stable control.

[0035] See also Figures 1 to 2 The upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are provided with multiple stabilizing grooves 4. The upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are assembled to form a whole sphere. The stabilizing grooves 4 include at least six grooves located in three mutually perpendicular axial directions of the whole sphere.

[0036] A stabilizing groove 4 is provided at the top of the upper housing 1 and the bottom of the lower housing 2.

[0037] Because the structure formed by the upper and lower shells of this application is roughly spherical, in order to ensure that the remote control device can be placed stably when not in use, at least three sets of mutually perpendicular stabilizing grooves 4 are provided at two opposite positions on the shell, so that the remote control device can be placed stably. In particular, a set of stabilizing grooves 4 is provided at the top of the upper shell 1 and the bottom of the lower shell 2 (two stabilizing grooves 4 form a set of stabilizing grooves 4), and the remaining four stabilizing grooves 4 are provided between the upper and lower shells. This result can improve the overall strength and make the remote control device easy to use.

[0038] See also Figures 1 to 2 Multiple operating units 51 are located between the launching unit 3 and the stabilizing groove 4, and surround the stabilizing groove 4 on the top of the upper housing 1.

[0039] The stabilizing groove 4 surrounding the top of the operating unit 51 makes it easy to control multiple operating units 51.

[0040] See also Figure 1 An operating part 51 is provided in the stabilizing groove 4 at the top of the upper housing 1.

[0041] The operating unit 51 may include operating buttons for controlling the robot dog's forward, backward, left and right movements. This structure can be located in the top stabilizing slot 4, which makes the entire remote control device easier to control and more convenient to operate.

[0042] See also Figures 1 to 3 One end of the control component 5 is connected to a charging unit 64, which passes through a stabilizing groove 4 located between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2.

[0043] The charging section 64 is inserted into the stabilizing slot 4, which can make charging smoother without compromising the structural stability of the entire remote control device.

[0044] See also Figures 1 to 6 The transmitter 63 is an infrared emitting element. Multiple transmitters 63 are arranged around the control component 5 in sequence. The first transmitter 63 is arranged towards the transmitter 3 on the upper housing 1, and the second transmitter 63 is arranged towards the transmitter 3 on the lower housing 2.

[0045] In this application, four infrared emitting elements are provided, surrounding the control component 5. Two opposing emitting elements 63 on the control component 5 face the upper housing 1 / lower housing 2, while adjacent emitting elements 63 face opposite directions. This structure ensures maximum infrared coverage, making...

[0046] See also Figures 2 to 6 The control component 5 includes a circuit board 6 located between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2. The circuit board 6 is provided with a main control chip 61, and the main control chip 61 is connected to a wireless connection unit 62 for connecting to external devices.

[0047] The transmitter 63 is connected to the circuit board 6.

[0048] The main body of the control component 5 is a circuit board 6 that can be easily fixed between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2. The circuit board 6 is equipped with a main control chip 61 for receiving and issuing commands. The main control chip 61 is connected to a wireless connection unit 62, which enables the remote control device to remotely connect to the robot dog. Similarly, the transmitter 63 is also controlled by the main control chip 61.

[0049] When the user presses the "Follow Start" button on the operation unit 51, the robot dog will receive the command and enter standby mode. After the infrared omnidirectional emission mode is activated, the robot dog receives the infrared signal and uses multiple sensors at different locations on the robot dog to determine the position of the remote control device based on the strength of the signal at different locations. This allows the robot dog to follow the remote control device. Through the above structure, the infrared emission range can be improved, so that the user does not need to point the remote control at the robot dog, and the robot dog can follow smoothly, ensuring the control stability of the remote control device.
