Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of remote control equipment technology, and more specifically, to an intelligent remote control. Background Technology

[0002] A remote control is a small tool used to remotely control electronic devices. It transmits commands via infrared or radio signals, allowing devices such as televisions, air conditioners, and toilets to receive and execute these commands. Remote controls are widely used in home appliances, automobiles, and smart bathrooms. The battery, which powers the remote control, is enclosed in the battery compartment by a battery cover.

[0003] Most existing remote controls use a flexible snap-fit ​​mechanism to connect the remote control body and the battery cover, which has the advantage of being quick and easy to install and remove. However, such remote controls are poor in terms of waterproof and dustproof performance. Moisture and dust can easily seep into the battery compartment through the gap between the remote control body and the battery cover, causing the battery to short circuit or corrode, thus affecting the normal use of the remote control. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent remote control, which solves the technical problem of how to improve the waterproof and dustproof performance of the remote control.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] This utility model provides a smart remote control, comprising: a housing with a positioning groove inside, a battery slot at the bottom of the positioning groove; a battery installed in the battery slot; a cover rotatably disposed in the positioning groove and used to cover the battery slot, the cover having a rotating handle at the top, and a sealing ring fitted over the cover; the cover rotating relative to the positioning groove allows the smart remote control to have a locked state and an unlocked state; in the locked state, a limiting fit is formed between the cover and the positioning groove to prevent the cover from moving upward out of the positioning groove, and the sealing ring forms a seal between the outer wall of the cover and the side wall of the positioning groove; in the unlocked state, the limiting fit between the cover and the positioning groove is released, and the cover is at least partially pushed out of the positioning groove.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the bottom of the positioning groove is further provided with two arc-shaped grooves. The two grooves are arranged symmetrically around the battery slot. The grooves include a first groove segment and a second groove segment arranged along the arc direction. The first groove segment includes a first part and a second part arranged vertically, and the width of the first part is smaller than the width of the second part. A guide wedge is provided in the second groove segment, and the height of the guide wedge gradually increases from the side closer to the first groove segment to the side farther away from the first groove segment. The bottom of the cover is provided with two hook portions. The two hook portions are arranged symmetrically around the arc. The hook portions include a connecting part and a hooking part arranged vertically, and the connecting part and the hooking part are connected in an L-shape. In the locked state, the connecting part is located in the first part, and the hooking part is located in the second part. In the unlocked state, the bottom surface of the hooking part abuts against the top surface of the guide wedge.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the height of the second portion gradually decreases from the side closer to the second groove segment to the side farther away from the second groove segment.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the cover includes a cover portion and an extension portion. The cover portion has a disc-shaped structure that is low in the middle and high around the edges. The extension portion is connected to the bottom of the cover portion and has an annular structure arranged coaxially with the cover portion. The rotating handle is located at the top of the cover portion and extends radially along the cover portion, and is arranged at the same height as the periphery of the cover portion. The sealing ring is sleeved on the extension portion.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the housing is provided with a circuit board located below the battery slot, and the top of the circuit board is provided with a conductive sheet exposed outside the battery slot. The bottom of the cover is also provided with a downwardly extending top block, which is used to press the battery onto the conductive sheet.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the battery slot has a spring sheet structure and a limiting protrusion on its sidewall. The spring sheet structure is used to elastically fit against the side of the battery, and the limiting protrusion has an arc-shaped structure and is used to restrict the battery from coming out of the battery slot.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the bottom of the housing is provided with a limiting groove, and the circuit board is provided with a clearance opening; the spring sheet structure includes a first spring sheet, a second spring sheet, and a third spring sheet, the first spring sheet includes a first elastic segment, a second elastic segment, and a third elastic segment connected in an S-shape, the third elastic segment being connected to the first elastic segment and the second elastic segment by an arc transition; the first elastic segment and the third elastic segment are located within the clearance opening, and the arc transition ends of the first elastic segment and the third elastic segment are located within the limiting groove, the second elastic segment is connected to the second spring sheet and the third spring sheet, and the second spring sheet, the second elastic segment, and the third spring sheet are arranged in a U-shape.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the smart remote control further includes a fixing base, the fixing base having a plurality of circumferentially spaced locking strips, and the outer surface of the housing having a plurality of circumferentially spaced locking slots, the number of the locking slots being the same as the number of the locking strips, the locking strips engaging in the locking slots to fix the housing on the fixing base.

[0014] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the present invention has at least the following advantages and positive effects: In the smart remote control of the present invention, when the user's hand acts on the rotating handle on the top of the cover, the cover is rotated relative to the positioning groove to the locked state, thereby locking the cover in the positioning groove. This ensures that the battery slot and the battery inside the battery slot can be stably covered by the cover. At this time, the sealing ring forms a seal between the outer wall of the cover and the side wall of the positioning groove, which can effectively prevent moisture and dust from seeping in from the gap between the cover and the positioning groove and causing adverse effects on the battery in the battery slot, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the smart remote control. On the other hand, when the rotating handle is acted on and the cover is rotated relative to the positioning groove to the unlocked state, at least part of the cover is pushed out of the positioning groove, which can drive the sealing ring sleeved on it to move upward along the side wall of the positioning groove. At this time, applying an upward pulling force on the rotating handle can remove the entire cover from the positioning groove. Therefore, the smart remote control can effectively improve its waterproof and dustproof performance through the structural cooperation between the shell, cover and sealing ring. Moreover, the fact that the cover is at least partially pushed out of the positioning groove can naturally eliminate and reduce the friction between the sealing ring and the groove wall, making the subsequent removal of the cover quicker and easier.

[0029] Although the present invention can be readily embodied in various forms, only some specific embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings and will be described in detail in this specification. It is understood that this specification should be regarded as an exemplary illustration of the principles of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention to what is described herein.

[0030] Therefore, a feature pointed out in this specification is used to describe one feature of one embodiment of the present invention, and does not imply that every embodiment of the present invention must have the described feature. Furthermore, it should be noted that this specification describes many features. Although certain features may be combined to illustrate possible system designs, these features may also be used in other combinations not explicitly stated. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, the described combinations are not intended to be limiting.

[0031] In the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, the directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, and back) used to explain the structure and movement of the various elements of this invention are relative rather than absolute. These descriptions are appropriate when these elements are in the positions shown in the drawings. If the descriptions of the positions of these elements change, these directional indications also change accordingly.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The intelligent remote control provided in one embodiment of this utility model mainly includes a housing 1, a battery 2, and a cover 3. A positioning groove 111 is formed inside the housing 1, and a battery slot 112 is formed at the bottom of the positioning groove 111. The battery 2 is installed in the battery slot 112. The cover 3 is rotatably disposed within the positioning groove 111 and is used to cover the battery slot 112. A rotating handle 311 is provided at the top of the cover 3, and a sealing ring 4 is fitted over the cover 3. The cover 3 rotates relative to the positioning groove 111 to give the intelligent remote control a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, a limiting fit is formed between the cover 3 and the positioning groove 111 to prevent the cover 3 from moving upward out of the positioning groove 111, and the sealing ring 4 forms a seal between the outer wall of the cover 3 and the side wall of the positioning groove 111. In the unlocked state, the limiting fit between the cover 3 and the positioning groove 111 is released, and the cover 3 is at least partially pushed out of the positioning groove 111.

[0033] In the smart remote control of this utility model embodiment, the user's hand acts on the rotating handle 311 on the top of the cover 3, rotating the cover 3 relative to the positioning groove 111 to the locked state, thereby locking the cover 3 within the positioning groove 111. This ensures that the battery slot 112 and the battery 2 within the battery slot 112 can be stably covered by the cover 3. At this time, the sealing ring 4 forms a seal between the outer wall of the cover 3 and the side wall of the positioning groove 111, effectively preventing moisture and dust from seeping in from the gap between the cover 3 and the positioning groove 111 and causing adverse effects on the battery 2 within the battery slot 112, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the smart remote control. On the other hand, when the rotating handle 311 is acted upon and the cover 3 is rotated relative to the positioning groove 111 to the unlocked state, at least part of the cover 3 is pushed out of the positioning groove 111, which can drive the sealing ring 4 sleeved on it to move upward along the side wall of the positioning groove 111. At this time, applying an upward pulling force to the rotating handle 311 can remove the entire cover 3 from the positioning groove 111. Therefore, the smart remote control can effectively improve its waterproof and dustproof performance through the structural cooperation between the shell 1, the cover 3 and the sealing ring 4. Moreover, the fact that the cover 3 is at least partially pushed out of the positioning groove 111 can naturally eliminate and reduce the friction between the sealing ring 4 and the groove wall of the positioning groove 111, making the subsequent removal of the cover 3 quicker and easier.

[0034] It is conceivable that the design of the rotating handle 311 allows for the integration of the force application points for rotating and pulling out the cover 3 upwards, making the overall operation more effortless.

[0035] Please see Figures 4 to 6 In a specific embodiment, the bottom of the positioning groove 111 is further provided with two arc-shaped grooves 113. The two grooves 113 are arranged symmetrically around the battery slot 112. The grooves 113 include a first groove segment 1131 and a second groove segment 1132 arranged along the arc direction. The first groove segment 1131 includes a first part 1133 and a second part 1134 arranged vertically. The width of the first part 1133 is smaller than the width of the second part 1134. The second groove segment 1132 is provided with a guide wedge 1135. The height of the guide wedge 1135 gradually increases from the side closer to the first groove segment 1131 to the side farther away from the first groove segment 1131. The bottom of the cover 3 is provided with two hook parts 33. The two hook parts 33 are arranged symmetrically around the arc. The hook part 33 includes a connecting part 331 and a hooking part 332 arranged vertically. The connecting part 331 and the hooking part 332 are connected in an L-shape. In the locked state, the connecting part 331 is located in the first part 1133 and the hook part 332 is located in the second part 1134. In the unlocked state, the bottom surface of the hook part 332 abuts against the top surface of the guide block 1135.

[0036] The first groove segment 1131 and the hook part 33 work together to form an L-shaped mechanical interlock, which restricts the vertical displacement of the cover 3 in the locked state. When the cover 3 is rotated, the hook part 332 slides along the arc of the groove 113 to the second groove segment 1132 and contacts the guide inclined block 1135. The gradually changing height design of the inclined block converts the rotational force into a vertical lifting force, pushing the cover 3 partly out of the positioning groove 111.

[0037] In a further embodiment, the guide wedge 1135 is connected to the bottom surface of the second groove segment 1132 and the bottom surface of the positioning groove 111 respectively. The inclined surface of the guide wedge 1135 can fill the height difference between the bottom surface of the second groove segment 1132 and the bottom surface of the positioning groove 111, thereby improving the smoothness of rotation.

[0038] In other embodiments, the outer wall of the cover 3 is provided with external threads, and the side wall of the positioning groove 111 is provided with internal threads. The two are connected by threads to switch between the unlocked state and the locked state. However, each adjustment requires a lot of rotations, which is cumbersome to operate and has low positioning accuracy.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the height of the second part 1134 gradually decreases from the side closer to the second groove segment 1132 to the side farther away from the second groove segment 1132. When the cover 3 switches from the unlocked state to the locked state, the hook part 332 slides along the groove 113 arc into the second part 1134 of the first groove segment 1131. The inclined state of the second part 1134 causes the hook part 332 to be subjected to a downward pre-tightening force as it continues to slide, thereby further strengthening the interlocking effect between the first groove segment 1131 and the hook part 33.

[0040] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 6 In a specific embodiment, the cover 3 includes a cover portion 31 and an extension portion 32. The cover portion 31 has a disc-shaped structure that is lower in the middle and higher around the edges. The extension portion 32 is connected to the bottom of the cover portion 31 and has an annular structure arranged coaxially with the cover portion 31. A rotating handle 311 is located at the top of the cover portion 31, extends radially along the cover portion 31, and is arranged at the same height as the periphery of the cover portion 31. A sealing ring 4 is fitted over the extension portion 32. On the one hand, this allows the user to easily rotate the cover 3 using their fingers by applying the rotating handle 311. On the other hand, the handle height does not protrude from the cover 3, which can effectively compress the thickness of the cover 3 and prevent accidental operation, thereby improving the safety and reliability of operation.

[0041] Please see Figure 4In a specific embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with a circuit board 5, which is located below the battery slot 112. The top of the circuit board 5 is provided with a conductive sheet 51 exposed outside the battery slot 112. The bottom of the cover 31 is also provided with a downwardly extending top block 34. The top block 34 is used to press the battery 2 onto the conductive sheet 51. The design of the top block 34 ensures reliable contact between the battery 2 and the conductive sheet 51, which can reduce the jumping of the battery 2 in the battery slot 112 and reduce the possibility of insufficient contact stability between the battery 2 and the conductive sheet 51.

[0042] In a further embodiment, the battery slot 112 has a spring sheet structure 114 and a limiting protrusion 115 on its sidewall. The spring sheet structure 114 is used to elastically fit the side of the battery 2, and the limiting protrusion 115 has an arc-shaped structure and is used to restrict the battery 2 from coming out of the battery slot 112. While ensuring stable contact between the battery 2 and the conductive sheet 51, it can prevent the inconvenience caused by the battery 2 accidentally coming out of the battery slot 112.

[0043] Please see Figure 5 In this embodiment, the bottom of the housing 1 is provided with a limiting groove 121, and the circuit board 5 is provided with a clearance opening 52. The spring sheet structure 114 includes a first spring sheet 1141, a second spring sheet 1142, and a third spring sheet 1143. The first spring sheet 1141 includes a first elastic segment 1144, a second elastic segment 1145, and a third elastic segment 1146 connected in an S-shape. The third elastic segment 1146 is connected to the first elastic segment 1144 and the second elastic segment 1145 by an arc transition. The first elastic segment 1144 and the third elastic segment 1146 are located within the clearance opening 52, and the arc transition ends of the first elastic segment 1144 and the third elastic segment 1146 are located within the limiting groove 121. The second elastic segment 1145 is connected to the second spring sheet 1142 and the third spring sheet 1143, and the second spring sheet 1142, the second elastic segment 1145, and the third spring sheet 1143 are arranged in a U-shape.

[0044] The S-shaped first spring piece 1141 generates radial pressure through the deformation of its three elastic segments, ensuring that the spring piece structure 114 as a whole provides an elastic force facing the side of the battery 2. The second spring piece 1142, the second elastic segment 1145, and the third spring piece 1143 are arranged in a U-shape, and the second spring piece 1142 and the third spring piece 1143 elastically act on the side of the battery 2 respectively, thus forming an auxiliary clamping force, thereby ensuring stable and reliable elastic contact between the spring piece structure 114 and the side of the battery 2. On the other hand, the design of the clearance opening 52 and the limiting groove 121 provides installation and deformation space for the spring piece structure 114, ensuring the normal operation of the spring piece structure 114.

[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 4In a specific embodiment, the smart remote control also includes a fixing base 6, on which a plurality of circumferentially spaced clips 61 are provided. The outer side of the housing 1 is provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced slots 116, the number of slots 116 being the same as the number of clips 61. The clips 61 are engaged in the slots 116 to fix the housing 1 on the fixing base 6.

[0046] The fixing seat 6 is fixed to the wall, bracket or other fixed position by means of adhesion, etc. The housing 1 and the fixing seat 6 are connected by the engagement between the clip 61 and the slot 116, which has the characteristics of stable and reliable connection and easy disassembly and assembly.

[0047] Please see Figure 5 In the above embodiments, the housing 1 includes a bottom shell 12 and a top shell 11. The bottom shell 12 is provided with a first connecting block 122 and a second connecting block 123 in an annular shape, and the first connecting block 122 and the second connecting block 123 are nested inside each other, forming a connecting groove 124 between them. The bottom of the top shell 11 is provided with a third connecting block 117 in an annular shape, and the third connecting block 117 is inserted into the connecting groove 124. The positioning groove 111 and the battery groove 112 are located inside the top shell 11.
