[0025] Exemplary embodiments according to this application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a remote control, which includes a housing, a main circuit board 20, a button assembly 30, and a lighting assembly. The following is a detailed description: The housing has an internal cavity, and its surface has multiple perforations 101. A light-transmitting hole 103 is located on one side of the housing. Specifically, the housing can be made of plastic, metal, or composite materials to ensure lightweight and durability. The light-transmitting hole 103 can be covered with a transparent or semi-transparent cover to prevent dust or foreign objects from entering while ensuring lighting effect.

[0027] The main circuit board 20 is disposed in the receiving cavity and is used to transmit control signals. The main circuit board 20 can be a PCBA board. The end of the main circuit board 20 is also provided with a signal transmitting component. The housing is also provided with through holes corresponding to the position of the signal transmitting component to reduce the signal obstruction of the signal transmitting component by the housing.

[0028] A button assembly 30 is disposed within the receiving cavity and located on the main circuit board 20, with a portion of the button assembly 30 protruding from the cutout 101. Specifically, the button assembly 30 and the main circuit board 20 can be connected via conductive adhesive, metal contacts, or a capacitive sensing circuit. When a user presses a button, the button assembly 30 triggers a circuit node on the main circuit board 20, thereby controlling the input signal. The corresponding signal is then emitted through the infrared or radio frequency emitting unit of the main circuit board 20. The button assembly 30 can be a silicone button, a mechanical button, or a capacitive touch button. By having a portion of the button assembly 30 protrude from the cutout 101, a good tactile feel can be ensured. The surface of the button assembly 30 can be a fluorescent button to facilitate accurate operation by the user in low-light environments.

[0029] A lighting component is disposed within the receiving cavity and emits light along the light-transmitting hole 103. In practical use, when users encounter power outages or need emergency lighting, they need to use a flashlight. However, flashlights are not easily used under normal circumstances and are generally difficult to find when needed. The remote control of this application, when used as a remote control, is placed in a conspicuous and easily found location. In situations such as power outages or when emergency lighting is needed, it can be used for lighting, making it easy to find. That is, the lighting component of this application can be independent of the remote control function, thus serving as emergency lighting in the event of power outages or insufficient light.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the lighting assembly includes an LED light panel 41, with LED beads 42 disposed on the side of the LED light panel 41 facing the light-transmitting hole 103. Specifically, the LED beads 42 can be 3W LED beads 42, so as to emit light even in emergency scenarios. The lighting assembly can be controlled by an independent switch, independent of the remote control function, so as to be used as emergency lighting in the event of a power outage or insufficient light. The lighting assembly can also be set with different brightness modes or flashing modes to adapt to emergency scenarios.

[0031] In a further embodiment, the LED bead 42 can be white light, warm light, or multi-color RGB LED to achieve different color temperatures or lighting effects, meeting the needs of users in different scenarios.

[0032] Furthermore, the lighting assembly also includes a focusing cover 44, which has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end has a first opening, and the second end has a second opening. The focusing cover encloses the LED beads through the second opening, so that the LED beads emit light within the focusing cover and emit light beams along the first opening and the light-transmitting hole. Specifically, the first opening is larger than the second opening, and the first opening communicates with the light-transmitting hole 103. Through the contraction structure with a larger first opening and a smaller second opening, the light emitted from the LED beads 42 can gradually converge, which can efficiently focus and diffuse the LED light source, achieving higher brightness and a wider lighting range, and improving the focusing effect and illumination distance of the lighting.

[0033] In a further embodiment, the inner wall of the light-concentrating cover 44 can be a multi-segment tapered structure, so that the light emitted from the LED beads 42 forms a specific beam angle, which is suitable for flashlight-style lighting or local lighting.

[0034] Furthermore, the inner wall of the light-concentrating cover 44 is covered with a reflective coating to reduce light scattering and enhance light intensity. Specifically, the reflective coating can be a metal plating (such as aluminum or silver), a metal oxide material (such as titanium dioxide or magnesium oxide), or a high-reflectivity film to improve light reflection efficiency.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, the lighting assembly further includes a transparent baffle 46 that covers the light-transmitting hole 103. The transparent baffle 46 may be made of transparent plastic, glass, PMMA, or acrylic material to ensure light transmission while preventing dust or foreign objects from entering the interior of the light-concentrating cover 44.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, the surface of the transparent baffle 46 may be provided with a diffusion film or microtexture to reduce direct glare and improve light uniformity.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, the housing includes an upper housing 11 and a lower housing 12, which are assembled together to form a receiving cavity. Specifically, the surface of the upper housing 11 is provided with a plurality of the aforementioned perforations 101, and the inner wall of the lower housing 12 is provided with a locking assembly for securing the LED light panel 41. The upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12 can be assembled by means of snap-fit, threads, or screws to ensure the overall structure is stable.

[0038] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a locking strip, one end of which is fixed to the inner wall of the lower housing 12, and the other end of which is provided with a hook 123. A slot 411 is provided on one side of the LED light panel 41, which engages with the hook 123 to fix the LED light panel 41 to the lower housing 12. Specifically, the locking strip can be made of elastic plastic or metal to provide sufficient elasticity and strength.

[0039] The LED light panel 41 is secured by clips and hooks 123, allowing for quick installation and removal without additional tools, facilitating maintenance or replacement. Simultaneously, this structure ensures the LED light panel 41 remains stable and does not wobble during use, thus guaranteeing uniform lighting performance.

[0040] In one optional embodiment, the remote control further includes a power supply component electrically connected to the main circuit board 20 for supplying power to the main circuit board 20. In another optional embodiment, the power supply component may include a battery compartment and a rear cover. The lower housing 12 has a recess to form the battery compartment, and the rear cover covers the battery compartment. Two opposing inner walls of the battery compartment are also provided with spring electrodes to facilitate the installation and removal of dry-cell batteries within the battery compartment. In some embodiments, the power supply component can also be used to supply power to a lighting component.

[0041] Furthermore, the power supply component is also electrically connected to the lighting component. The power supply component can supply power to both the main circuit board 20 and the lighting component simultaneously using a single power source, or it can achieve current separation between the two through an independent circuit to ensure that the lighting function and the remote control function do not interfere with each other.

[0042] Alternatively, the power supply assembly includes a first power supply and a second power supply. The first power supply is electrically connected to the main circuit board 20, and the second power supply is electrically connected to the lighting assembly. The first power supply and the second power supply can be batteries of the same or different types, respectively powering the main circuit board 20 and the lighting assembly, thereby achieving independent control and energy management and avoiding insufficient power of the lighting assembly during emergency use.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, the button assembly 30 includes a light source switch 31, which is electrically connected to the LED light panel 41 and used to control the on / off state of the LED beads 42. Through the light source switch 31, the user can independently control the on / off state of the lighting assembly without affecting the remote control function of the remote control itself. Furthermore, the light source switch 31 can also be used in conjunction with a dimming circuit or multiple brightness settings to achieve adjustable control of the lighting brightness.

[0044] In some embodiments, the light source switch 31 can be a mechanical button, a touch button, or a slide switch, and is disposed on the surface of the remote control housing for easy user operation.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, the housing surface is further provided with a display hole, and the remote control further includes a display component disposed within the receiving cavity, with the display screen of the display component exposed through the display hole.

[0046] Specifically, the display component can be a PC board, a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode display (OLED), or an electronic ink display (e-ink) to provide information such as time, temperature, device status, or remote control command feedback. Furthermore, the display aperture of the display component can be covered with a transparent protective cover to prevent damage from dust, liquids, or impacts, while ensuring that the displayed content is clearly visible.

[0047] Furthermore, the display component can be electrically connected to the main circuit board 20 to realize dynamic display of information and synchronous update of remote control operation. At the same time, backlight or adaptive brightness adjustment function can be set to adapt to different ambient light conditions.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the remote control further includes a light sensor and a flash. The light sensor is used to detect the brightness of ambient light. When the brightness of ambient light is lower than a preset threshold, the light sensor controls the flash to flash intermittently so that the user can find the remote control in the dark.
