Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of network controllers, and more specifically, to a handheld multi-functional network remote controller. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of smart homes, multimedia systems, and industrial control, the demand for networked remote controls that enable centralized and convenient control of devices is increasing. These remote controls typically need to integrate a large number of control functions, including digital input, mode switching, device selection, directional navigation, and quick access to specific functions. Traditional networked remote control designs generally suffer from the following pain points:
[0003] 1. Disorganized layout and low operating efficiency: A large number of function buttons are often arranged in a mixed manner, lacking clear functional divisions. Users need to spend a long time finding specific buttons when operating, especially in low light or when blind operation is required, resulting in a high rate of accidental touches and low operating efficiency.
[0004] 2. Blurred tactile feedback and inaccurate positioning: The button surfaces of existing network remote controls are usually flat or simply recessed, lacking effective tactile guidance. Users find it difficult to accurately distinguish and locate adjacent buttons by touch alone, leading to incorrect pressing or the need for repeated confirmation, which affects the smoothness and accuracy of operation.
[0005] 3. Poor structural reliability: The button contacts on the circuit board, especially the frequently used number keys, lack effective protection and are easily damaged or have poor contact due to dust, liquid intrusion or long-term pressing. At the same time, if the multi-layer structure of the remote control is not firmly fixed, it is easy to shift or loosen, resulting in button malfunction or poor feel.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new handheld multi-functional networking remote control design that can effectively solve the above problems and achieve the goals of clear functional partitioning, accurate touch positioning, and a stable and reliable structure, so as to meet the needs of modern complex networking devices for efficient, reliable, and comfortable operation. Utility Model Content
[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is how to achieve clear functional partitioning, accurate touch positioning, and a stable and reliable structure. In order to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned prior art (or related technology), this utility model provides a handheld multi-functional networking remote control.
[0008] This utility model provides a handheld multi-functional networking remote control, including:
[0009] A base has a circuit board at its top. The circuit board is divided into a functional contact area, a digital display area, and a locking contact area. The functional contact area has multiple first button contacts arranged in a matrix. The digital display area has multiple light-emitting elements arranged in a matrix. The locking contact area has at least one second button contact. The circuit board also has a control chip, which is electrically connected to each of the first button contacts, each of the light-emitting elements, and the second button contacts. The control chip receives trigger signals from each of the first button contacts and the second button contacts to output remote control commands and trigger the corresponding light-emitting elements to light up.
[0010] A clamping plate is disposed at the top of the circuit board. A button film is provided on the clamping plate at the position corresponding to each of the first button contact and the second button contact, and the button film abuts against the corresponding first button contact or the second button contact. A through hole is provided on the clamping plate at the position corresponding to each of the light-emitting elements to expose each of the light-emitting elements.
[0011] A touchpad is located at the top of the clamping plate. The touchpad has button bumps at the positions corresponding to each of the first button contact and the second button contact, so that the operator can press to trigger the corresponding first button contact or the second button contact. A digital light panel is provided on the touchpad at the position corresponding to the light-emitting element.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the handheld multi-functional networking remote controller of this application has the following advantages:
[0013] In this application, the contact area is divided into a functional contact area and a locking contact area, with a separate digital display area. This makes the button layout logic clear and the functional areas well-defined, allowing users to quickly locate the required buttons, reducing search time and improving operating efficiency. The button contacts in the functional contact area are arranged in a matrix, facilitating row and column scanning in circuit design. The first and second button contacts are covered with a button film to protect them from dust and liquid intrusion. The three-layer design of circuit board, clamping plate, and touchpad ensures structural stability and reliability. The button bumps on the touchpad provide clear physical tactile boundaries, allowing users to accurately locate buttons by touch without visual inspection.
[0014] In one possible implementation, the base is further provided with a gripping part at its bottom end, and the inner wall of the gripping part covers the bottom end of the base and two opposing side walls thereon, for the operator to grip.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the above-mentioned technical solution can better fit the palm by covering the bottom of the base and the two opposite side walls of the grip with the inner wall of the grip, providing a firm grip, reducing hand fatigue during long-term use, and reducing the risk of accidental slippage.
[0016] In one possible implementation, the grip and the base are fixed by a sliding connection.
[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the above-mentioned technical solution allows for the disassembly and replacement of the grip.
[0018] In one possible implementation, a groove is provided at the top of the base for mounting and fixing the circuit board.
[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the above technical solution can provide precise positioning and firm support for the circuit board through the groove at the top of the base, preventing the circuit board from shaking or shifting inside the base, ensuring the accuracy of the button contact position, and improving product reliability and durability.
[0020] In one possible implementation, a rectangular slot extends from the outer edge of the top of the groove to engage and fix with the outer edge of the touch panel.
[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the above technical solution can firmly fix the touchpad to the base by using a rectangular slot that engages with the outer edge of the touchpad, preventing it from loosening, lifting or shifting during use. This ensures that the button bulges are precisely aligned with the positions of the button contacts, button membranes and through holes below, maintaining good tactile feedback and operational reliability.
[0022] In one possible implementation, the base has a mounting base on which a battery block is attached. The bottom of the circuit board has a power contact that is electrically connected to the control chip, and the power contact abuts against the top of the battery block to supply power to the control chip.
[0023] Compared with existing technologies, the above technical solution can ensure the stable position of the battery block through the fixing base, and the power supply method of directly contacting the top of the battery block with the power contacts eliminates the need for complex wire connections, reduces the risk of solder joint failure or wire breakage, and improves the reliability and stability of power supply.
[0024] In one possible implementation, each of the first button contacts and the second button contacts is a contact with a circular cross-section, and each of the button films is a circular film.
[0025] Compared with existing technologies, the above technical solution can provide a comfortable pressing feel and uniform rebound force through circular button contacts and circular films.
[0026] In one possible implementation, each of the light-emitting elements is a lamp bead with a rectangular cross-section, and each of the through holes is a rectangular through hole.
[0027] Compared with existing technologies, the above technical solution allows for the arrangement of more light-emitting components within a limited space through a rectangular cross-section design. Attached Figure Description
