Detailed Implementation

[0043] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0044] In related technologies, wired controllers typically include sensors, which are usually placed inside the controller. A hole or slot needs to be opened at the sensor location on the controller to connect to the outside world, allowing the sensor to detect parameters such as ambient temperature and humidity. However, the hole or slot on the wired controller can affect its moisture-proof performance. Furthermore, when the aforementioned sensors detect parameters such as ambient temperature and humidity, they require good air circulation, and the detection results are subject to errors due to heat generation from the internal circuitry of the wired controller and poor air circulation. To solve these problems, this utility model proposes a wired controller and an air conditioning system. The wired controller and air conditioning system mentioned above are described in detail below.

[0045] Firstly, referring to Figures 1 to 6 The wired controller provided in this embodiment includes a first housing 20, a drive assembly 30, and a sensor module 10. A first through hole 21 is provided on the first housing 20. The sensor module 10 is movably connected to the first housing 20 and passes through the first through hole 21. The drive assembly 30 is connected to the sensor module 10 and is used to drive the sensor module 10 to move between a first position and a second position. The sensor module 10 includes a sensor for detecting environmental parameters. In the first position, at least part of the sensor module 10 is located within the first through hole 21 to close the first through hole 21, and the sensor probe 12 is not exposed. In the second position, part of the sensor module 10 is located within the first through hole 21 to close the first through hole 21, and part of the sensor module 10 extends out of the first housing 20 to expose the probe 12.

[0046] The wired controller also includes a screen 40, a second housing 50, a mounting box 60, and a mainboard 70. The screen 40 is connected to the first housing 20, which is also connected to the second housing 50. The mounting box 60 is connected to the second housing 50. The screen 40, the first housing 20, and the second housing 50 form an inner cavity, and the mainboard 70 is located within the inner cavity. The connection between the first housing 20 and the second housing 50 can be either a fixed connection or a detachable connection. The connection between the mounting box 60 and the second housing 50 can also be either a fixed connection or a detachable connection.

[0047] The first through hole 21 can be rectangular, oblong, circular, or elliptical with rounded corners. As an example, Figures 1 to 4 In the example, the first through hole 21 is a rectangle with rounded corners. As another example, Figure 5 In the first through hole 21, the shape is elliptical. The movement of the sensor module 10 can be either single movement or rotational movement. In the example of rotational movement, the outer periphery of the sensor module 10 can be provided with external threads, and the inner wall of the first through hole 21 can be provided with internal threads.

[0048] The sensor probe 12 refers to the front-end component of the sensor that directly contacts the external environment and is used to sense and collect environmental parameters. The sensor is electrically connected to the control module on the motherboard 70, and the sensor outputs the environmental parameters it detects to the control module on the motherboard 70. The drive assembly 30 is electrically connected to the control module, and the drive assembly 30 drives the sensor module 10 to move under the control of the control module.

[0049] The sensor module 10 has a first position and a second position. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sensor module 10 shown is in the first position. In the first position, the sensor probe 12 is not exposed outside the first housing 20. At this time, environmental parameters cannot be detected. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The sensor module 10 shown is in the second position, in which the sensor probe 12 is exposed outside the first housing 20, at which time environmental parameters can be detected.

[0050] As an example, the first through hole 21 is formed on the first side plate 23 of the first housing 20. Due to the limited thickness of the first side plate 23, in this case, in the first position, part of the sensor module 10 is located inside the first through hole 21 to close the first through hole 21, and part of the sensor module 10 extends into the inner cavity. As another example, a protrusion is provided on the inner side of the first side plate 23 of the first housing 20, and the first through hole 21 passes through the first side plate 23 and the protrusion. In this case, the length of the first through hole 21 is relatively long, and in the first position, the sensor module 10 can be completely located inside the first through hole 21.

[0051] It should be noted that in the first and second positions, it is not required that there is no gap between the first through hole 21 and the sensor module 10. It is sufficient to ensure that the first through hole 21 is not open. Compared with the first through hole 21 being open, the moisture-proof performance of the wired controller can be effectively improved.

[0052] Initially, sensor module 10 is in the first position. The movement of sensor module 10 can be controlled periodically to periodically detect environmental parameters, or it can be controlled according to actual needs to detect environmental parameters. As an example, when the user needs to view real-time environmental parameters or the control module needs to acquire real-time environmental parameters, drive component 30 drives sensor module 10 to move outward, thereby moving sensor module 10 to the second position. After the environmental parameter detection is completed, sensor module 10 moves back to its original position under the drive of drive component 30. Specifically, after the environmental parameter detection is completed, if there is no operation within a set time T, sensor module 10 is automatically controlled to move back to its original position.

[0053] Screen 40 can be a touchscreen or a non-touchscreen display. As an example, screen 40 is a touchscreen with a virtual detection button. By touching the virtual detection button, the sensor module 10 can move from a first position to a second position and detect environmental parameters at the second position. As another example, screen 40 is a non-touchscreen display, and the first housing 20 is connected to a physical detection button. By pressing the physical detection button, the sensor module 10 can move from the first position to a second position and detect environmental parameters at the second position.

[0054] In this embodiment of the invention, the sensor module 10 seals the first through hole 21 in both the first and second positions, which improves the moisture-proof performance of the wired controller and avoids the impact on its moisture-proof performance caused by the first through hole 21 being open. Furthermore, in the second position, part of the sensor module 10 extends outside the first housing 20, exposing the sensor probe 12. In this second position, the detection of environmental parameters is unaffected by the heating of the internal circuitry of the wired controller or poor air circulation, thus improving the accuracy of the detection results. In this embodiment of the invention, both the moisture-proof performance of the wired controller and the accuracy of environmental parameter detection are improved, thereby enhancing the quality of the wired controller. Additionally, in the first position, the sensor probe 12 is not exposed, preventing the long-term exposure of the probe 12 from affecting its lifespan and reliability.

[0055] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 The sensor module 10 also includes a housing 11, and a drive assembly 30 is connected to the housing 11. The drive assembly 30 is used to drive the housing 11 to move so that the sensor module 10 moves between a first position and a second position. The sensor is disposed inside the housing 11, and a second through hole 111 is provided on the housing 11. In the second position, the second through hole 111 is exposed outside the first housing 20, and the sensor probe 12 is exposed from the second through hole 111. In the first position, the second through hole 111 is at least partially located inside the first through hole 21, and the second through hole 111 is not exposed outside the first housing 20.

[0056] The outer shell 11 can be made of plastic and is a hollow shell structure. It may have only one hole, the second through-hole 111. The shape of the second through-hole 111 can be circular, elliptical, square, or oblong. The outer shell 11 has a second outer surface 113 and a third outer surface arranged opposite each other along its length, and a fourth outer surface and a fifth outer surface arranged opposite each other along its thickness. The length direction of the outer shell 11 can be aligned with the moving direction of the sensor module 10, and the thickness direction of the outer shell 11 can be aligned with the thickness direction of the sensor module 10. The thickness direction of the sensor module 10 can be referenced... Figure 4 and Figure 5The direction indicated by the arrow F. The second through hole 111 can be opened on the fourth outer surface, and the outer surface of the sensor probe 12 can be flush with the fourth outer surface. In this case, there is a gap between the sensor probe 12 and the second through hole 111.

[0057] In actual installation and use, there are situations where the wired controller is installed before the renovation. During renovation, corrosive liquids such as latex paint can corrode the sensor through the holes or grooves on the existing wired controller, easily leading to product malfunction. In this embodiment of the utility model, the sensor can be protected by the outer shell 11. In the first position, the second through hole 111 is not exposed outside the first shell 20. At this time, dust in the environment and corrosive liquids such as latex paint from renovation will not enter the outer shell 11 through the second through hole 111, that is, they will not affect the sensor inside the outer shell 11.

[0058] In some embodiments, the sensor module 10 is movably connected to the first housing 20, and the drive assembly 30 is used to drive the housing 11 to move so that the sensor module 10 moves between a first position and a second position.

[0059] When the user needs to view real-time environmental parameters or the control module needs to acquire real-time environmental parameters, the drive component 30 drives the housing 11 to move outward, thereby causing the sensor module 10 to extend outside the first housing 20. After the environmental parameters are detected, the sensor module 10 retracts to its original position. In this embodiment, the drive component 30 may include a motor and matching transmission components, an electric telescopic rod, a cylinder, etc., with the electric telescopic rod or cylinder directly connected to the sensor module 10. In this embodiment of the present invention, the movement of the sensor module 10 is simple.

[0060] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 The drive assembly 30 includes a rotary drive member 31 and a drive gear 32. The housing 11 has a rack portion 112. The rotary drive member 31 is connected to the drive gear 32 and is used to drive the drive gear 32 to rotate. The drive gear 32 meshes with the rack portion 112.

[0061] The housing 11 has a fourth outer surface and a fifth outer surface disposed opposite to each other along its thickness direction. The thickness direction of the housing 11 is consistent with the thickness direction of the sensor module 10. The thickness direction of the sensor module 10 can be referenced. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The direction indicated by the arrow F. The second through hole 111 is formed on the fourth outer surface, and the rack portion 112 is provided on the fifth outer surface.

[0062] The rotary drive component 31 can be a motor, which includes an output shaft connected to the drive gear 32. The connection between the motor's output shaft and the drive gear 32 can be either a fixed connection or a detachable connection. Taking the movement direction of the sensor module 10 as the first direction, the first direction can be referenced... Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The direction indicated by the arrow D. The rack portion 112 includes a plurality of teeth spaced apart along the first direction. In this embodiment of the invention, the drive assembly 30 has a simple structure and high reliability.

[0063] When the motor's output shaft rotates counterclockwise, the drive gear 32 rotates counterclockwise, the rack portion 112 moves outward, and the sensor module 10 moves outward. When the motor's output shaft rotates clockwise, the drive gear 32 rotates clockwise, the rack portion 112 moves inward, and the sensor module 10 moves inward. By controlling the rotation direction of the motor's output shaft, the movement direction of the sensor module 10 can be controlled. Specifically, the motor is electrically connected to the control module on the main board 70 via a motor controller. The control module can output a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal to the motor controller to control the rotation direction and speed of the motor's output shaft.

[0064] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 5 to 7 The wired controller has an inner cavity, including a main board 70 located in the inner cavity, a rotary drive 31 and a drive gear 32 located in the inner cavity, and the rotary drive 31 and a sensor electrically connected to the main board 70. In a first position and a second position, a portion of the sensor module 10 is located in a first through hole 21 to close the first through hole 21, and a portion of the sensor module 10 is located in the inner cavity. In the first position, the rack portion 112 is entirely located in the inner cavity, and in the second position, the rack portion 112 is at least partially located in the inner cavity.

[0065] The inner cavity is formed by the screen 40, the first housing 20, and the second housing 50. The rotation drive 31 and the sensor are electrically connected to the control module on the mainboard 70. In the second position, the rack portion 112 can be entirely located in the inner cavity. In the second position, the rack portion 112 can also be partially located in the inner cavity and partially located in the first through hole 21. In the second position, the rack portion 112 preferably does not protrude outside the first housing 20 to avoid dust, impurities, etc. from the external environment affecting the meshing of the drive gear 32 and the rack portion 112.

[0066] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7The first housing 20 includes a guide limiting part 22 located in the inner cavity; the moving direction of the sensor module 10 is taken as the first direction, and the direction perpendicular to the first direction and perpendicular to the thickness direction of the sensor module 10 is taken as the second direction. Along the second direction, the rotating drive 31 and the guide limiting part 22 are respectively located on both sides of the sensor module 10; a groove is provided on the guide limiting part 22, the groove penetrates the guide limiting part 22 along the first direction, the groove has a guide wall and two limiting walls connected to the guide wall, the two limiting walls are opposite to each other along the thickness direction of the sensor module 10, and the sensor module 10 cooperates with the groove.

[0067] The first direction can be referenced. Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The direction indicated by the arrow D in the middle; the second direction can be referenced. Figure 7 The direction indicated by arrow E in the middle indicates the thickness direction of sensor module 10. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The direction indicated by the arrow F in the middle. (Refer to...) Figure 4 The outer casing 11 has four rounded corner portions 114 and two sidewalls 115 disposed opposite each other along the second direction, with each sidewall 115 located between two adjacent rounded corner portions 114.

[0068] The limiting wall is arc-shaped and is used to partially engage with the rounded corner portion 114. The guide wall is used to engage with the side wall 115. In this embodiment of the invention, the guide limiting portion 22 can restrict the movement direction of the sensor module 10. In addition, the guide limiting portion 22 can also restrict the position of the sensor module 10 along its thickness direction, thereby keeping the rack portion 112 engaged with the drive gear 32, and ensuring that the gap between the sensor module 10 and the first through hole 21 is uniform when there is a gap.

[0069] In some embodiments, there is a gap between the sensor module 10 and the first through hole 21, and the gap between the sensor module 10 and the first through hole 21 is less than or equal to 0.1 mm. Alternatively, the gap between the sensor module 10 and the first through hole 21 may be greater than 0 mm, and may be 0.02 mm, 0.05 mm, 0.07 mm, 0.08 mm, 0.1 mm, etc. In this embodiment of the invention, while ensuring smooth movement of the sensor module 10, a sealing effect on the first through hole 21 can be guaranteed.

[0070] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 1 to 4 The first housing 20 includes a first side plate 23, and a first through hole 21 is formed on the first side plate 23.

[0071] The first housing 20 includes four side plates: a top side plate, a left side plate, a right side plate, and a bottom side plate. The orientation of the top, bottom, left, and right side plates corresponds to the actual orientation of the wired controller after installation. The first side plate 23 is preferably the bottom side plate. In this embodiment, the first through hole 21 is formed on the first side plate 23, which improves aesthetics.

[0072] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 The first side plate 23 has a first outer surface 231, and the sensor module 10 has a second outer surface 113; both the first outer surface 231 and the second outer surface 113 are planar, and in the first position, the first outer surface 231 and the second outer surface 113 are flush.

[0073] In the first position, the first outer surface 231 and the second outer surface 113 are flush, that is, the distance between the first outer surface 231 and the second outer surface 113 along the first direction is 0 mm. In this embodiment of the invention, the sealing of the first through hole 21 is ensured while maintaining good aesthetics.

[0074] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 In the second position, the distance between the first outer surface 231 and the second outer surface 113 is greater than or equal to 8 mm and less than or equal to 13 mm.

[0075] Specifically, the distance between the first outer surface 231 and the second outer surface 113 refers to the distance between the first outer surface 231 and the second outer surface 113 along the first direction. In the second position, the distance between the first outer surface 231 and the second outer surface 113 can be 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 13mm, etc. In this embodiment of the present invention, in the second position, while ensuring that the second through hole 111 is fully exposed, the exposed rack portion 112 can be avoided.

[0076] In some embodiments, the sensor is a temperature and humidity sensor, and the environmental parameters include ambient temperature and ambient humidity. When the user needs to view the real-time ambient temperature and humidity or the control module needs to acquire the real-time ambient temperature and humidity, the drive component 30 drives the housing 11 to move outward, thereby causing the sensor module 10 to extend out of the first housing 20. After the ambient temperature and humidity are detected, the sensor module 10 retracts to its original position.

[0077] In some embodiments, the sensor includes a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor, and the environmental parameters include ambient temperature and ambient humidity. When the user needs to view the real-time ambient temperature and humidity or the control module needs to acquire the real-time ambient temperature and humidity, the drive component 30 drives the housing 11 to move outward, thereby causing the sensor module 10 to extend out of the first housing 20. After the ambient temperature and humidity are detected, the sensor module 10 retracts to its original position.

[0078] In some embodiments, the sensor is a temperature sensor, and the environmental parameter includes ambient temperature.

[0079] In this embodiment, the single sensor module 10 can only detect ambient temperature. If ambient humidity detection is not required, an additional humidity sensor is not needed. If ambient humidity detection is also required, the current sensor module 10 is used as the first sensor module, and an additional second sensor module with a built-in humidity sensor is added on top of it. The positions of the first through holes 21 on the first housing 20 corresponding to the first sensor module and the second sensor module are different, but both are formed on the first side plate 23.

[0080] In some embodiments, the sensor is a humidity sensor, and the environmental parameter includes ambient humidity.

[0081] In this embodiment, the single sensor module 10 can only detect ambient humidity. If ambient temperature detection is not required, no additional temperature sensor is needed. If ambient temperature detection is also required, the current sensor module 10 is used as the first sensor module, and a second sensor module with a built-in temperature sensor is added on top of it. The positions of the first through holes 21 on the first housing 20 corresponding to the first sensor module and the second sensor module are different, but both are formed on the first side plate 23.

[0082] Secondly, this utility model embodiment also provides an air conditioning system, including an air conditioner and a wired controller. Specifically, the wired controller is connected to the indoor unit of the air conditioner via a wired connection to control the air conditioner.

[0083] The wired controller includes a first housing 20, a drive assembly 30, and a sensor module 10. The first housing 20 has a first through-hole 21. The sensor module 10 is movably connected to the first housing 20 and passes through the first through-hole 21. The drive assembly 30 is connected to the sensor module 10 and drives the sensor module 10 to move between a first position and a second position. The sensor module 10 includes a sensor for detecting environmental parameters. In the first position, at least part of the sensor module 10 is located within the first through-hole 21 to close the first through-hole 21, and the sensor probe 12 is not exposed. In the second position, part of the sensor module 10 is located within the first through-hole 21 to close the first through-hole 21, and part of the sensor module 10 extends out of the first housing 20 to expose the probe 12.

[0084] In this embodiment of the invention, the sensor module 10 in the wired controller of the air conditioning system seals the first through hole 21 in both the first and second positions, which improves the moisture-proof performance of the wired controller and avoids the impact on its moisture-proof performance caused by the first through hole 21 being open. Furthermore, in the second position, part of the sensor module 10 extends outside the first housing 20, with the sensor probe 12 exposed.
