The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are used only to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure. Rather, embodiments of this disclosure include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this disclosure proposes a remote control for a high-voltage winch, including: a housing 1, a first control module 2, a first communication module 3, and an indicator module 4. The first control module 2 is disposed inside the housing 1, the first communication module 3 is disposed inside the housing 1, and the signal output terminal of the first communication module 3 is connected to the signal input terminal of the first control module 2. The signal input terminal of the first communication module 3 is wirelessly connected to the signal output terminal of the second communication module 200 in the high-voltage winch, wherein the signal input terminal of the second communication module 200 in the high-voltage winch is connected to the signal output terminal of the second control module 100 in the high-voltage winch. The indicator module 4 is disposed on the housing 1, and the signal input terminal of the indicator module 4 is connected to the signal output terminal of the first control module 2. The indicator module 4 is used to issue indicator information.

[0030] It is understandable that, since the signal output terminal of the first communication module 3 is connected to the signal input terminal of the first control module 2, the signal input terminal of the first communication module 3 is wirelessly connected to the signal output terminal of the second communication module 200, the signal input terminal of the second communication module 200 is connected to the signal output terminal of the second control module 100, and the signal input terminal of the indicator module 4 is connected to the signal output terminal of the first control module 2, wireless communication can be achieved between the first control module 2 in the remote controller and the second control module 100 in the high-voltage winch using the cooperation of the first communication module 3 and the second communication module 200. Furthermore, the first control module 2 can receive the status data of the second control module 100 and issue corresponding indication information using the indicator module 4, thereby enabling operators to monitor the status of the high-voltage winch in real time using the indication information, thus ensuring high maintenance efficiency of the high-voltage winch.

[0031] It should be noted that the high-voltage winch includes a winch body, a winch motor that is connected to the winch body for transmission, a drive module for driving the winch motor, a high-voltage power supply that supplies power to the winch motor using the drive module, and a second control module 100 that uses the drive module to control parameters such as the speed and torque of the winch motor.

[0032] The second control module 100 achieves wireless communication with the first control module 2 in the remote controller through the cooperation of the second communication module 200 and the first communication module 3. The second control module 100 can send status data to the first control module 2 so as to realize flexible monitoring of the winch motor using the remote controller.

[0033] The housing 1 is used for the integrated arrangement of the first control module 2, the first communication module 3, the indicator module 4, etc. The specific type of housing 1 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto. For example, housing 1 can be made of non-metallic materials such as plastic to avoid signal interference while realizing the integrated arrangement of the first control module 2, the first communication module 3, the indicator module 4, etc.

[0034] The first control module 2 is used to control the instruction module 4 to issue corresponding instruction information based on the status data sent by the second control module 100. Additionally, it can send control commands to the second control module 100 to control the operation of the high-voltage winch. The specific type of the first control module 2 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto. For example, the first control module 2 can be a control chip, controller, etc.

[0035] The first communication module 3 and the second communication module 200 are used for wireless communication. The specific types of the first communication module 3 and the second communication module 200 can be set according to actual needs and are not limited thereto. For example, the first communication module 3 and the second communication module 200 can use technologies such as radio frequency and Bluetooth to realize wireless communication.

[0036] The indicator module 4 is used to issue indicator information under the control of the first control module 2, so as to obtain the status of the high-voltage winch. The specific type of the indicator module 4 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto. The indicator module 4 can indicate different statuses or alarm problems through different sound information, light information, etc.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the remote control further includes a button module 5, which is disposed on the housing 1, and the signal output terminal of the button module 5 is connected to the signal input terminal of the first control module 2. The signal output terminal of the first control module 2 is connected to the signal input terminal of the first communication module 3, the signal output terminal of the first communication module 3 is wirelessly connected to the signal input terminal of the second communication module 200, and the signal output terminal of the second communication module 200 is connected to the signal input terminal of the second control module 100.

[0038] Understandably, since the signal output terminal of the button module 5 is connected to the signal input terminal of the first control module 2, and the signal output terminal of the first control module 2 is connected to the signal input terminal of the first communication module 3, the signal output terminal of the first communication module 3 is wirelessly connected to the signal input terminal of the second communication module 200, and the signal output terminal of the second communication module 200 is connected to the signal input terminal of the second control module 100, the first control module 2 can receive the control commands from the button module 5 and send the control commands to the second control module 100 through the cooperation of the first communication module 3 and the second communication module 200, thereby realizing the remote control of the high-voltage winch through the second control module 100.

[0039] The first control module 2 can not only receive the status data of the second control module 100 and issue corresponding indication information through the indicator module 4 to realize the monitoring of the high-voltage winch, but also send control commands to the second control module 100 through the instruction input of the button module 5 to realize the control of the high-voltage winch. Thus, the interaction between the remote control and the high-voltage winch is realized, making the monitoring of the high-voltage winch more flexible and convenient.

[0040] It should be noted that button module 5 is used to input control commands to the first control module 2. The specific type of button module 5 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto. The control commands input into button module 5 can be power on, power off, accelerate, decelerate, rotate forward, rotate reverse, etc. The commands from the remote control are sent to the high-voltage winch in the form of data packets. After receiving the data, the high-voltage winch executes the commands according to the corresponding data instructions.

[0041] Based on the issuance and receipt of control commands, both the first communication module 3 and the second communication module 200 are bidirectional wireless data communication modules.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the remote controller further includes a circuit board 6, which is disposed inside the housing 1, and the first control module 2, the first communication module 3, the indicator module 4 and the button module 5 are respectively disposed on the circuit board 6, with the indicator module 4 and the button module 5 extending out of the housing 1.

[0043] It is understandable that since the first control module 2, the first communication module 3, the indicator module 4, and the button module 5 are respectively mounted on the circuit board 6, the first control module 2, the first communication module 3, the indicator module 4, and the button module 5 can be electrically connected and integrated using the circuit board 6, thereby cooperating with each other to achieve stable interaction between the remote control and the high-voltage winch.

[0044] It should be noted that circuit board 6 is used to realize electrical connection between modules by means of arranged wires, and to realize the integration of modules by means of the board body. The specific type of circuit board 6 can be set according to actual needs, and there is no restriction on it.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the button module 5 includes: a plurality of buttons 51 and a plurality of elastic keys 52. The plurality of buttons 51 are respectively disposed on the circuit board 6, and the signal output terminal of the button 51 is connected to the signal input terminal of the first control module 2. One end of the plurality of elastic keys 52 abuts against the plurality of buttons 51, and the end of the elastic key 52 away from the button 51 extends out of the housing 1.

[0046] It is understandable that, since the signal output terminal of button 51 is connected to the signal input terminal of the first control module 2, and one end of the elastic key 52 abuts against button 51, and the end of the elastic key 52 away from button 51 extends out of the housing 1, when the elastic key 52 is pressed, the elastic key 52 can abut against the corresponding button 51, thereby sending a signal to the first control module 2 through button 51, and thus realizing the input of control commands.

[0047] It should be noted that button 51 is used to send a signal to the first control module 2 when pressed. The specific type of button 51 can be set according to actual needs and there are no restrictions on it.

[0048] The spring-loaded key 52 is used to abut the button 51 when it is pressed, which can not only effectively trigger the button 51, but also avoid damage to the button 51. The specific type of the spring-loaded key 52 can be set according to actual needs and there is no restriction. For example, the spring-loaded key 52 can be made of elastic materials such as rubber.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the button module 5 further includes a button board 53, which is disposed inside the housing 1, and the button board 53 and the circuit board 6 are spaced apart. The elastic key 52 is disposed on the button board 53 and passes through the button board 53.

[0050] It is understandable that the keypad 53 is designed to ensure stable bearing of the elastic key 52, thereby ensuring that the elastic key 52 can stably trigger the button 51 under external force.

[0051] It should be noted that the button plate 53 is used to support multiple elastic keys 52. The specific type of the button plate 53 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto. The button plate 53 has multiple hollow slots, and the elastic keys 52 are fixed in the hollow slots. Based on their own elasticity, the elastic keys 52 can still move under the action of external force while being fixed in the hollow slots, thereby ensuring the stable triggering of the button 51.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the remote control further includes a battery 7, which is disposed inside the housing 1, and the power output terminal of the battery 7 is connected to the power input terminal of the first control module 2, the power input terminal of the first communication module 3, and the power input terminal of the indicator module 4, respectively.

[0053] It is understandable that since the battery 7 is located inside the housing 1, and the power output terminal of the battery 7 is connected to the power input terminal of the first control module 2, the power input terminal of the first communication module 3, and the power input terminal of the indicator module 4 respectively, the first control module 2, the first communication module 3, and the indicator module 4 can be powered by the battery 7, thereby realizing the flexible use of the remote control.

[0054] It should be noted that battery 7 is used to supply power to components such as the first control module 2, the first communication module 3, and the indicator module 4. The specific type of battery 7 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto. For example, battery 7 can be a rechargeable dry cell battery.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 1 includes an interaction part 11 and a grip part 12, a first control module 2 and a first communication module 3 are respectively disposed inside the housing 1, and an indicator module 4 is disposed on the interaction part 11, the grip part 12 is connected to the interaction part 11, and the battery 7 is disposed inside the grip part 12.

[0056] Understandably, the grip 12 not only makes it easy for operators to hold, making the remote control more convenient to use, but also accommodates the battery 7, thus making full use of the space.

[0057] It should be noted that the interaction unit 11 is used to arrange the first control module 2, the first communication module 3, the indicator module 4, etc. The specific type of the interaction unit 11 can be set according to actual needs and there is no restriction on it. For example, the interaction unit 11 can be a structure that is close to a disk shape.

[0058] The grip 12 is used to hold and arrange the battery 7. The specific type of the grip 12 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto. For example, the grip 12 can be a rod-shaped structure.

[0059] In some embodiments, the indicator module 4 includes a first indicator light, which is disposed on the housing 1, and the signal input terminal of the first indicator light is connected to the signal output terminal of the first control module 2.

[0060] It is understandable that, since the first indicator light is set on the housing 1 and the signal input terminal of the first indicator light is connected to the signal output terminal of the first control module 2, the first control module 2 can control the first indicator light to emit the first light indication information, thereby using the first light indication information to quickly obtain the status of the high-voltage winch.

[0061] It should be noted that the first indicator light is used to emit the first light indication information. The specific type of the first indicator light can be set according to actual needs and there are no restrictions on it. For example, the first indicator light can be an LED light.

[0062] In some embodiments, the indicator module 4 further includes a second indicator light, which is disposed on the housing 1 and the signal input terminal of the second indicator light is connected to the signal output terminal of the first control module 2.

[0063] It is understandable that, since the second indicator light is set on the housing 1 and the signal input terminal of the second indicator light is connected to the signal output terminal of the first control module 2, the second control module 100 can control the second indicator light to emit second light indication information, thereby using the cooperation of the first light indication information and the second light indication information to achieve rapid and accurate acquisition of the high-voltage winch status.

[0064] It should be noted that the second indicator light is used to emit a second light indication information. The specific type of the second indicator light can be set according to actual needs and there are no restrictions on it. For example, the second indicator light can be an LED light.

[0065] The status data inside the high-voltage winch is sent to the remote control. The first and second indicator lights on the remote control flash to indicate the internal status of the high-voltage winch. For example, when the high-voltage winch malfunctions, the remote control displays an alarm code using flashing LEDs based on the received data code. This allows operators to troubleshoot the problem based on the alarm code.

[0066] Furthermore, the high-voltage winch has multiple alarm codes inside, such as A03 and A04 indicating overvoltage and undervoltage of the input voltage, and A09 and A15 indicating overheating of the motor and IGBT.

[0067] The remote control displays alarm codes via a first indicator light and a second indicator light. When the high-voltage winch alarms, such as A04, one indicator light on the remote control will turn off, and the other will flash four times and pause once. For example, if the alarm is A15, one indicator light will flash once and pause, and the other will flash five times and pause once. The display cycles through these indicators.

[0068] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 1 includes an upper cover 13 and a bottom cover 14. The upper cover 13 is detachably mounted on the bottom cover 14, and a receiving cavity is formed between the upper cover 13 and the bottom cover 14. The first control module 2 and the first communication module 3 are respectively disposed in the receiving cavity.

[0069] It is understandable that, since the upper cover 13 is detachably mounted on the lower cover 14 and a receiving cavity is formed between the upper cover 13 and the lower cover 14, the first control module 2 and the first communication module 3 are respectively mounted in the receiving cavity. This not only enables the first control module 2 and the first communication module 3 to be supported and protected, but also makes it easier to disassemble, install, and repair using the detachable structure between the upper cover 13 and the lower cover 14, making it more convenient to use.

[0070] It should be noted that the upper cover 13 and the bottom cover 14 are used to form a detachable housing 1 structure. The upper cover 13 and the bottom cover 14 are fastened together or fixed with screws along the thickness direction of the remote control. In addition, the interaction part 11 and the grip part 12 are divided along the length direction of the remote control.

[0071] In the description of this disclosure, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Furthermore, in the description of this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0072] Any process or method description in the flowchart or otherwise herein can be understood as representing a module, segment, or portion of code comprising one or more executable instructions for implementing a particular logical function or process, and the scope of preferred embodiments of this disclosure includes additional implementations in which functions may be performed not in the order shown or discussed, including substantially simultaneously or in reverse order depending on the function involved, as will be understood by those skilled in the art to which embodiments of this disclosure pertain.
