Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stage lighting control equipment technology, and in particular to a stage lighting control console with a hidden handle. Background Technology

[0002] In the current field of professional lighting control, core functions are highly concentrated on basic operations such as lighting signal transmission control and lighting program editing and execution. Regarding portability, while existing consoles generally feature handles to address transport issues, and some high-end models employ hidden handles for aesthetic optimization, the functionality of these handles is limited to simple transport assistance, failing to explore their potential value in terms of operational convenience and functional expansion, resulting in underutilization of their capabilities. Simultaneously, traditional lighting consoles have significant shortcomings in terms of added user experience: they lack dynamic feedback design adapted to different scenarios in creating visual atmosphere; sound output functions are generally absent or rudimentary, failing to create a synergistic sensory experience with lighting control; and the richness and compatibility of expansion interfaces are insufficient to meet diverse peripheral connection needs. Especially when the console is in a control intermittent or standby state, the overall device lacks interactive feedback that reflects human-centered design and cutting-edge technology, limiting the overall user experience and making it difficult to adapt to the industry's trend towards multi-functional, user-friendly, and scenario-based lighting control equipment.

[0003] In summary, the technical problems existing in the relevant technologies need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0019] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of this application only and is not intended to limit this application.

[0020] Figure 1 This application provides a three-dimensional structural diagram of a stage lighting control console with a concealed handle, comprising: a base 100, buttons 200, and a handle 300. Some stage lighting control consoles with concealed handles also include a display screen 400. The buttons 200 are located on the top of the base 100; the handle 300 is located on the side of the base 100. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of the left view of the handle. The handle 300 includes a grip opening 310 and a groove 320. The grip opening 310 is fixedly connected to the side of the base 100, and the grip opening 310 and the side of the base 100 are on the same plane. The groove 320 extends into the interior of the base 100.

[0021] Specifically, the base 100 supports the stage lighting console, the buttons 200 are used to input control commands to control the stage lights, and the display screen 400 is used to display stage lighting information. The stage lighting console, equipped with a concealed handle, uses the base 100 as its core supporting component. The base 100 has a regular plate-like or frame-like shape, providing a stable mounting base and structural support for components such as the buttons 200 and handle 300. Its material can be selected from high-strength plastic or lightweight metal depending on the usage scenario, balancing structural stability and portability. The button 200 components are integrated on top of the base 100. The number, arrangement, and size of the buttons 200 can be flexibly designed according to functional requirements. Furthermore, the buttons 200 and the internal circuit modules of the base 100 are electrically connected via wires or spring contacts, ensuring accurate transmission of control signals during pressing. The handle is mounted on the side of the base 100, forming an integrated structure with the side of the base 100. The handle 300 comprises two interconnected parts: a grip 310 and a groove 320. The grip 310 serves as the connection and force-bearing base of the handle 300, and is securely connected to the side of the base 100 via injection molding or screw fixing. The outer surface of the grip 310 remains in the same vertical plane as the side of the base 100, ensuring that the handle 300 does not protrude outwards when not in use, effectively reducing structural footprint. The space is used to improve the flatness of the overall appearance; the groove 320 serves as the core gripping area of ​​the handle 300, extending from the grip opening 310 toward the interior of the base 100 to form an inwardly recessed cavity structure. The cross-sectional contour of the groove 320 conforms to the curvature of the human hand when gripping, and its depth and width are ergonomically designed to ensure that the operator has enough gripping space when the hand is inserted, and to make the force applied to the hand more even during the handling process, avoiding fatigue caused by grip discomfort, and improving the stability and safety during the handling process.

[0022] In some embodiments, the number of handles 300 is even; the positions of the handles 300 are symmetrical with respect to the position of the base 100. Specifically, in the structural design of the stage lighting control console, the arrangement of handles 300 fully considers the practicality and stability of equipment handling. The number of handles 300 is even, and all handles 300 are symmetrically distributed with respect to the central axis of the control console base 100. Specifically, multiple or two handles 300 are arranged on the side of the base 100 to accommodate control consoles of different weights. Some handles 300 are installed on the rear side of the base 100, while others are located on the front side of the base 100 near the side, forming a symmetrical layout. This non-single-plane symmetrical design allows operators' hands to naturally distribute themselves on the front and rear sides of the stage lighting console when two or more people are holding and lifting it. This creates a wraparound grip, which not only evenly distributes the force of the console to each operator's hands, avoiding discomfort caused by excessive localized force, but also effectively limits the amplitude of swaying during transport, preventing the risk of slipping due to tilting. This significantly improves stability and safety during multi-person lifting, and is especially suitable for equipment like stage lighting consoles with precision control components that need to be protected from vibrations during transport.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The stage lighting console has two handles, one on each side of the left and right sides, and one on each side of the rear end. This is because the rear end is thicker and heavier. Placing a handle 300 near the left and right sides of the front edge of the console facilitates balance with the sides, allowing two people to move the console together. Therefore, the number and specific location of the concealed handles 300 can be determined based on the size, shape, and center of gravity of the stage lighting console.

[0024] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the structure from the left when the handle is at a 50-60 degree angle to the base. The groove 320 of the handle 300 extends obliquely upward into the base 100; the angle between the groove 320 and the horizontal plane of the base 100 is between 50 and 60 degrees. The groove 320 of the handle does not extend vertically or horizontally along the side of the base 100, but rather extends obliquely upward into the base 100 from the connection position between the grip opening 310 and the side of the base 100, forming a grip cavity structure with a specific tilt angle. To precisely adapt to the natural gripping posture of the human hand, the angle formed between the groove 320 and the horizontal plane of the base 100 is strictly controlled within the range of 50 to 60 degrees. This angle range has been repeatedly verified by ergonomics. When the operator puts his hand into the groove 320 to grip, this tilt angle allows the wrist to extend naturally. It can maintain a comfortable force exertion posture without deliberately bending or twisting, avoiding the wrist tension problem caused by the unsuitable angle of traditional vertical or horizontal grooves 320. This allows the hand to exert force more easily and naturally during the handling process, effectively reducing muscle strain caused by long-term handling.

[0025] Or such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a left-side structural diagram showing the handle at a 30-degree angle to the base. The angle between the groove 320 and the horizontal plane of the base 100 is preferably 30 degrees. This 30-degree angle allows the wrist to naturally exert force when carrying the stage lighting console, further reducing the risk of slipping. Simultaneously, the tilt angle, which conforms to the hand's natural force exertion habits, increases the contact area between the hand and the inner wall of the groove 320, resulting in a tighter fit. Combined with any anti-slip treatment that may exist on the inner wall of the groove 320, such as applying anti-slip silicone, the specially textured anti-slip silicone improves comfort and anti-slip performance when the groove 320 is in contact with the hand during transport. This further enhances the friction between the hand and the handle 300. Even if the equipment shakes slightly during transport or the hands sweat, it effectively reduces the relative slippage between the hand and the groove 320, significantly reducing the risk of slipping and providing a more stable and safer grip for equipment transport. Understandably... Figure 3 or Figure 4 The concealed handle has a tilt angle design. When dust or other impurities remain in the groove 320, the tilt angle design causes the dust or impurities to vibrate out as the groove 320 is vibrated, thus indirectly cleaning the concealed handle.

[0026] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5This is a schematic diagram of the handle's structure. When the handle 300 or the groove 320 is made of light-guiding material, it also includes an indicator light 330 and a lighting control chip. The indicator light 330 is positioned above the groove 320. The indicator light 330 and the lighting control chip are connected, and the lighting control chip is connected to the main board inside the base 100. Specifically, when the entire handle or the groove 320 portion of the handle 300 uses a material with light-transmitting and light-guiding properties, such as high-transmittance PMMA or PC, to fully utilize the characteristics of the light-guiding material to achieve lighting and status display functions, this structure further integrates the indicator light 330 and the lighting control chip. The indicator light 330 component is precisely positioned in the upper area of ​​the groove 320, and its installation position is adapted to the light-guiding path of the groove 320, ensuring that the light emitted by the indicator light 330 can efficiently enter the light-guiding structure of the groove 320 and be evenly diffused to the inner wall and surrounding area of ​​the groove 320 through the light-guiding effect of the groove 320, so that the groove 320 presents a uniform and soft light effect when lit. A stable communication connection is established between the indicator light 330 and the lighting control chip. This connection can be achieved through wire soldering or flexible flat cable (FFC) plugging and unplugging, ensuring that the lighting control chip can accurately send control signals such as brightness adjustment, on / off control, and color switching to the indicator light 330, thereby regulating the working state of the indicator light 330. At the same time, the lighting control chip also establishes a bidirectional communication connection with the motherboard inside the base 100. The lighting control chip can receive equipment operating status signals transmitted by the motherboard, such as equipment power-on status, working mode, or fault warning, and automatically match the corresponding light effect mode of the indicator light 330 according to the signal. For example, the equipment displays a solid green light when operating normally, and switches to a flashing red light when there is a fault. Conversely, the lighting control chip can also feed back the real-time working status of the indicator light 330 to the motherboard, such as light brightness and whether it is lit normally, forming a complete signal closed loop. This allows the indicator light 330 to not only serve as an auxiliary lighting structure for the handle 300, making it easier for users to quickly locate and hold the handle 300 in dim environments, but also to intuitively reflect the overall operating status of the equipment through different light effects, improving the convenience and intelligence of the equipment. The display light 330 includes an RGB LED display light 330, and the lighting control chip includes an RGB LED lighting control chip. In some embodiments, such as Figure 5As shown, a speaker 350 assembly is integrated inside the recess 320 of the concealed handle. The speaker 350 establishes a stable communication connection with the mainboard inside the base 100, ensuring efficient and accurate transmission of audio signals. The number of speakers 350 is configured in an even number, and all speakers 350 are symmetrically distributed relative to the central axis or preset baseline of the base 100. This symmetrical layout provides a structural basis for optimizing acoustic effects. Simultaneously, the speakers 350, combined with specially designed acoustic guide holes, guide and optimize the sound propagation path, jointly forming a stereo output system. This stereo output system is versatile and can be widely used in various scenarios. It can play system prompts to provide feedback on the device's operating status, play music to create a suitable atmosphere, output operation feedback sound effects when the operator performs operations, such as pressing a button to trigger a command, and play system alarm prompts when the device malfunctions, promptly reminding the user to pay attention to the device's status, further enriching the overall functionality and user experience.

[0027] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, a high-speed data transmission interface 340 is integrated inside the recess 320 of the concealed handle. This high-speed data transmission interface 340 establishes a stable communication connection with the motherboard inside the base 100. The interface types include USB and Type-C interfaces, supporting not only device charging but also connecting external USB flash drives for data reading and storage, and connecting external MIDI controllers to expand control functions, meeting the diverse needs of the stage lighting control console in terms of data interaction and functional expansion. Furthermore, the interface adopts a front-mounted layout design and is embedded inside the handle of the recess 320. This allows operators to plug and unplug devices without having to go to the back of the device, significantly improving the convenience of interface use and reducing operation time and complexity. On the other hand, the interface is hidden inside the handle recess 320 and is not exposed when not in use, effectively avoiding the disruption to the overall appearance of the stage lighting control console caused by traditional external interfaces, ensuring that the device maintains a simple and unified visual effect, balancing functional practicality and aesthetic appeal. Understandably... Figure 5 The concealed handle can consist of only a speaker 350, a USB port, a Type-C port, or an indicator light 330, or a combination of any one or more of these features.

[0028] In some embodiments, to better demonstrate the structure of the concealed handle, such as Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6This is a structural schematic diagram of a cross-sectional view of a stage lighting control console with a concealed handle. As shown, the concealed handle adopts a concave design, with the groove 320 extending upwards and inwards towards the base 100. The grip 310 of the handle 300 is fixed to the side of the base 100 and is on the same plane as the side. The concealed handle avoids the visual abruptness of traditional protruding handles without increasing the overall volume of the console, significantly enhancing the simplicity and aesthetic appeal of the console's appearance, while fully retaining its original carrying function without affecting safety or structural strength. The addition of an indicator light 330 to create ambient lighting provides clear visual guidance in nighttime use scenarios, helping operators quickly locate the operating area and effectively improving ease of operation. Furthermore, the combination of the concealed handle and ambient lighting breaks through the homogeneous appearance of traditional consoles, enhancing the product's personalization and differentiation, better attracting the attention of target users, providing strong support for market promotion, and achieving a dual improvement in functional practicality and market competitiveness.

[0029] In some embodiments, an LED ambient light strip is embedded within the concealed handle. The concealed handle has a built-in microcontroller module for controlling the color, brightness, and flashing mode of the ambient light, and it is linked to the main control system of the console. It can independently set a control switch and supports modes such as timed lighting, standby lighting, and music response. All ambient lights, speakers, and interfaces are connected to the main control board in the base via flexible ribbon cables, and power failure protection and filtering modules are provided to ensure system safety and signal stability. When the ambient light inside the concealed handle is lit, it emits a soft light that can form a brand logo or a light strip in a user-selectable color.
