Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of remote control technology, and in particular to a simple smart bathroom remote control. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, smart bathroom appliances, such as smart toilets and smart bathtubs, are becoming increasingly popular. Users typically use remote controls to remotely control these devices. However, existing smart bathroom remote controls generally suffer from large size and numerous, complex buttons. On the one hand, their large size makes them inconvenient to place and use in the relatively small and humid environment of a bathroom, increasing their risk of dropping or getting splashed. On the other hand, too many buttons not only increase the difficulty of operation, making it hard for users to quickly find the desired function, but also increase production costs and design complexity. Finally, existing smart bathroom remote controls often have many sharp edges, making them susceptible to damage from bumps and knocks.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide a simpler and more reasonable intelligent bathroom remote control with a smaller structural size and easier operation has become a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is how to provide a simpler and more reasonable intelligent bathroom remote control with a smaller structural size and easier operation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a simple smart bathroom remote control, including a remote control body. The remote control body includes a lower shell with an open upper end, a power supply module arranged inside the lower shell, and a PCBA board and a silicone sheet arranged vertically in a plate-like structure above the power supply module inside the lower shell. An upper shell is installed at the open position of the lower shell. A button panel is installed on the upper shell, and the middle of the upper shell is hollowed out, so that when the button panel is pressed down, the button protrusion below the button panel can pass through the hollow position in the middle of the upper shell and abut against and be supported on the silicone sheet. The lower shell is generally designed as a flat circular box structure; the upper shell is generally designed as a ring structure; and the button panel is generally designed as a circular plate structure, with the middle of the button panel arched upwards in a spherical shape.

[0006] Thus, the aforementioned simple smart bathroom remote control structure, through the structural design of the lower and upper shells, achieves a smaller overall thickness and a flatter shape, with a thickness not exceeding 15mm and a length and width not exceeding 80mm. This allows for easy one-handed grip and carrying during use. Furthermore, the rounded edges reduce sharp corners and prevent bumps and knocks. This results in a simpler and more rational structural design, smaller dimensions, fewer sharp corners, and reduced risk of damage.

[0007] As an optimization, the upper shell includes a mounting ring plate with a circular structure at the top. A ring-shaped mounting groove is provided on the mounting ring plate. Multiple screw holes are provided at intervals on the bottom surface inside the mounting groove along the circumferential direction, and each hole is equipped with a connecting screw. The connecting screws can be threadedly connected to the connecting post inside the lower shell.

[0008] In this way, the structural design of the upper shell is simpler and more reasonable, and it is also easier to install and fix the upper shell and the lower shell.

[0009] Furthermore, there are 8 screw holes.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the silicone sheets has a clearance hole corresponding to a connecting screw, so that the connecting screw passes through the clearance hole on the silicone sheet and is threaded into the threaded hole on the connecting post.

[0011] This allows for precise installation and positioning of the silicone sheet, resulting in a more rational structural design.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the edges of the PCBA board and the positions corresponding to the connecting screws is provided with a U-shaped notch, so that the lower end of the connecting screw passes through the U-shaped notch and is threaded into the threaded hole on the connecting post.

[0013] This allows for installation limits on the PCBA board, making installation more convenient.

[0014] As an optimization, the upper shell also includes an integrally formed mating protrusion with a ring structure design located below the mounting ring plate. The edge of the silicone sheet is continuously bent vertically downward, horizontally outward, and vertically upward to form a mating part, and a mating ring groove is formed on the mating part; and the mating protrusion can be inserted into the mating ring groove accordingly; and the mating part is correspondingly mated at the opening position of the lower shell.

[0015] In this way, by forming a mating part on the edge of the silicone sheet, the mating part fits into the lower shell as a whole, and the mating annular groove on the mating part fits into the mating protrusion, which can better seal the upper and lower shells.

[0016] As an optimization, multiple insertion protrusions are arranged in an array along the circumferential direction at the edge of the lower surface of the keypad. Each insertion protrusion has a hooking protrusion protruding outward from its lower outer side. Insertion holes are provided on the bottom surface inside the mounting groove, corresponding to the insertion protrusions. A hooking interface is provided on the side wall of the insertion hole. This allows the insertion protrusions to be inserted into the insertion holes after the keypad is installed in the upper shell, and the hooking blocks to be fitted into the hooking interfaces on the side wall of the insertion holes to prevent the keypad from falling out of the upper shell.

[0017] This allows the button panel and the upper shell to fit together better, making them easier to install and remove.

[0018] Furthermore, there are 8 insertion protrusions, and there are 8 corresponding insertion holes and 8 hanging protrusions.

[0019] As an optimization, the button bumps are two arranged at intervals along the diameter direction of the button plate.

[0020] In this way, by setting two button bumps, the remote control has two commonly used function buttons. Furthermore, clear function labels are set on the surface of the button panel for easy user identification and operation. The button panel can be made of high-elasticity silicone, which has a good tactile feel and durability, with moderate button travel and clear feedback when pressed.

[0021] As an optimization, two upwardly protruding mounting flanges are provided in pairs on the bottom surface inside the lower shell, so that the lower surface of the PCBA board is in contact with the upper end of the mounting flanges; the power supply module includes power supply batteries, each disposed within the mounting flange; openings are provided on the bottom surface inside the lower shell, corresponding to the inner contour of the mounting flange, for the power supply batteries to be removed from the openings; a battery cover is also provided below the lower shell, the battery cover having a circular structure design; and a locking block is provided on the battery cover, the locking block being able to be correspondingly engaged in the locking holes on the lower surface of the lower shell.

[0022] In this way, using a power supply battery can make the overall structure thinner and smaller, and it also makes it easier to replace the power supply battery.

[0023] As an optimization, an O-ring is also provided between the battery cover and the lower casing.

[0024] In this way, by setting an O-ring, the sealing effect can be improved.

[0025] In summary, the aforementioned simple smart bathroom remote control features a simpler and more reasonable structural design, smaller size, easier operation, fewer sharp edges, and better protection against bumps and knocks. Attached Figure Description

[0040] Furthermore, each of the edges of the PCBA board and the positions corresponding to the connecting screws is provided with a U-shaped notch 13, such that the lower end of the connecting screw passes through the U-shaped notch and is threaded into the threaded hole on the connecting post.

[0041] This allows for installation limits on the PCBA board, making installation more convenient.

[0042] In this specific embodiment, the upper shell also includes a mating protrusion 14 integrally formed and arranged below the mounting ring plate with a ring structure design.
