Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of remote control technology, and in particular to a remote control with a double-arc surface structure. Background Technology

[0002] In modern home life, appliance remote controls are key tools for operating various electrical devices, and their designs are becoming increasingly diverse. When designing remote controls, designers comprehensively and thoroughly consider factors such as ergonomics, functional requirements, aesthetics, and brand characteristics.

[0003] From an ergonomic perspective, most common home appliance remote controls are cubes or cuboids. This regular shape conforms to the natural grip of the hand, making it easy for people to control the remote and reducing fatigue during prolonged use. To enhance aesthetics while fulfilling functionality, some remote controls also adopt a rounded shape. The rounded lines not only give the remote control a unique visual appeal but also further optimize grip comfort, making operation smoother and more natural.

[0004] In terms of power supply, most remote controls rely on batteries for normal operation. To achieve a unified and harmonious appearance, the battery cover is usually cleverly integrated with the remote control's casing. While this design makes the remote control look more uniform and refined, it causes considerable inconvenience for users when replacing batteries. Due to the tight fit between the battery cover and the casing, users often find it difficult to find a suitable leverage point to pry open the battery cover smoothly, which undoubtedly causes great inconvenience to users.

[0005] The technical content disclosed in Chinese patent document (publication number: CN208796873U, patent name: remote control) is as follows: A remote control includes an upper shell, a lower shell, a circuit board, and control buttons. The upper and lower shells form a cavity. The circuit board is fixed inside the cavity. The control buttons pass through the upper shell and contact the internal circuit board. The lower shell includes an inner wall and an outer wall, which together form an annular groove with rounded corners. The upper shell has tapered edges. The thinnest edge of the upper shell is less than the distance between the inner and outer walls, and the thickest edge is greater than the distance between the inner and outer walls. The upper shell is inserted into the annular groove via an interference fit.

[0006] The patent documents above reveal that the design of the battery compartment appears to have overlooked its placement. By overemphasizing a tight fit between the upper and lower shells for aesthetic purposes, the actual needs of users when replacing batteries were not adequately considered. This results in significant difficulties for users when needing to replace batteries, as they cannot easily and quickly open the battery cover, negatively impacting the user experience.
