Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent control technology, and in particular to an intelligent control device. Background Technology

[0002] With the popularization of IoT technology, smart home control systems are gradually penetrating from high-end residences to a wider range of living scenarios. Currently, mainstream smart home control systems generally rely on home Wi-Fi networks and cloud servers to achieve device linkage and voice control. However, in special and large-scale scenarios such as university student dormitories, old apartments, and rental housing, the above-mentioned mainstream solutions face fundamental application obstacles. To avoid circuit modification issues, some simple control devices based on infrared remote control and powered by batteries have appeared on the market. For example, a universal infrared remote control that connects to a mobile phone via Bluetooth typically includes a battery, an infrared transmitter, and a processing module. Another low-cost remote control board, CN205405878U, also uses a similar principle, using a built-in microphone for offline voice recognition and learning to control infrared devices such as TVs and air conditioners. However, such solutions have obvious limitations: First, they are limited in function, only able to control appliances with infrared interfaces. The power supply of ordinary ceiling lights, which are prevalent in dormitories and apartments, is still controlled by mechanical physical switches on the walls and does not have infrared receiving capabilities, making it impossible for such pure infrared solutions to cover these core electrical devices.

[0003] Therefore, there is a lack of intelligent control terminals in the existing technology that can simultaneously meet all of the following requirements: 1) no circuit modification or wall installation required, 2) compatible with controlling electrical appliances with infrared interfaces and ordinary lamps controlled by mechanical switches, and 3) extremely low overall cost, suitable for large-scale popularization. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: This utility model provides an intelligent control device, including a first housing, a second housing, a control board, a microphone receiving hole, a drive component, a mechanical structure, and an infrared emitting module. The first housing is provided with a battery pack to provide power, and the battery pack is electrically connected to the control board. The control board is installed inside the first housing. The control board is equipped with a microcontroller unit and a voice recognition module. The infrared emitting module is rotatably mounted on the first housing via a connecting component.

The control board controls the operation of the infrared emitting module. The drive assembly is installed inside the second housing, and the mechanical structure is installed on the second housing. The mechanical structure is used to turn the switch button on and off. The drive assembly is electrically connected to the control board and the mechanical structure.

The middle position of the swing arm is mounted on the first rotating shaft, and the swing arm is mounted inside the first support frame.

There is friction between the two to fix the angle between the first support base and the second support base. A second rotating shaft is provided at the end of the first support base away from the second support base. The second rotating shaft is inserted into the first housing through a first through hole on the first housing. A limit member is provided on the second rotating shaft.

[0010] Preferably, a USB power interface is provided inside the first housing, and the USB power interface is electrically connected to the battery pack.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] This specific embodiment provides an intelligent control device that solves the technical problem in the prior art that intelligent control devices cannot simultaneously control push-button switches and infrared control.

[0023] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the embodiments shown below do not limit the scope of the utility model as described in the claims. Additionally, the complete contents of the structures represented in the following embodiments are not limited to those necessary for the solution of the utility model as described in the claims.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-5This utility model provides an intelligent control device, including a first housing 1, a second housing 2, a control board 11, a microphone receiving hole 12, a drive component, a mechanical structure, and an infrared emitting module 4. The first housing 1 houses a battery pack, which is electrically connected to the control board 11 to supply power. The control board 11 is installed inside the first housing 1 and primarily receives commands and performs actions. Specifically, the control board 11 is an embedded main control board with local voice processing capabilities as its core computing and control unit, using chips such as ASRPRO or ESP32-S3. The control board 11 includes a microcontroller unit and a voice recognition module. A lightweight offline voice wake-up and command recognition model is pre-programmed onto the control board 11, enabling the processing of dozens of high-frequency control commands. The voice recognition module processes all voice data locally, eliminating the need for network uploads and ensuring user privacy and usability even in offline environments. The infrared emitting module 4 is rotatably mounted on the first housing 1 via connecting component 5 and is electrically connected to the control board 11. The control board 11 controls the infrared emitting module 4 to transmit commands. The rotatable mounting of the infrared emitting module on the first housing allows users to adjust its angle, aligning it with infrared-receiving devices and controlling the operation of these devices. Specifically, the infrared emitting module 4 includes three independent high-power infrared emitting diodes, whose driving circuits are directly connected to the control board 11 via GPIO pins. Infrared-receiving devices can include air conditioners, televisions, fans, etc. To facilitate command reception, a microphone aperture 12 is located on the first housing 1. The microphone aperture 12 receives voice commands and transmits them to the control board 11, which then controls the operation of the infrared emitting module 4.

[0025] To facilitate control of the button switch, a drive assembly is installed inside the second housing 2, and a mechanical structure is installed on the second housing 2 for turning the switch button on and off. The drive assembly drives the mechanical structure to turn the switch button on and off. To facilitate control of the drive assembly by the control board 11, the drive assembly is electrically connected to the control board 11 so that the control board 11 can control the movement of the drive assembly. The first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are connected by wires, and the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 can also be connected by other means, such as screws.

[0026] In addition, to facilitate the fixing of the control board 11, a second mounting frame is provided inside the first housing 1. The control board is fixedly installed inside the first housing 1 by clips or screws to ensure stability.

[0027] Specifically, when the user says a preset wake-up word such as "Xiao Su, turn on the overhead light," the microphone receiving hole 12 collects the audio, which is then recognized and analyzed in real time by the local voice model of the control board 11. The control board 11 sends a set of preset PWM control signals to the drive circuit of the drive component, and the drive component then moves to drive the mechanical structure. If the instruction is "Xiao Su, turn on the air conditioner," the control board 11 retrieves the infrared code of the corresponding device and instruction from the storage unit and drives the infrared emitting tube of the specified channel through the corresponding GPIO pin to emit an infrared signal, which facilitates the control of turning on the air conditioner.

[0028] With this setup, the control device draws power solely from the battery pack, completely avoiding connection to the room's 220V power system. This eliminates the hassle of rewiring for smart homes and fundamentally avoids conflicts between circuit modification requirements and safety regulations. Because it simultaneously contains an infrared emitting module and a mechanical structure capable of turning on the switch, it achieves simultaneous control via infrared and mechanical means.

[0029] To further optimize the solution, in addition to supporting user-defined wake words, the control board 11 is also equipped with a Bluetooth module 13. The Bluetooth module 13 is used for connection to mobile terminals and can be BLE 5.0, communicating with the control board 11 via a UART serial port. Users can pair the control device with the Bluetooth module 13 through a dedicated app (or mini-program) on their smartphones, completing the learning and storage of the new device's infrared code and localized configuration of various device parameters without internet access. Specifically, the user opens the mobile app and connects to the control device's Bluetooth. For infrared learning, after clicking "Learn," the user points the original device's remote control at the terminal and presses a button. The terminal can then record and store the infrared code through its infrared receiver (or by parsing the code sent via Bluetooth).

[0030] In addition, an NFC tag chip is added to the first casing 1. After purchasing a new device, users only need to touch the device with an NFC-enabled mobile phone to automatically open the configuration page and complete Bluetooth quick pairing, greatly simplifying the initialization process.

[0031] In a further optimized design, the drive component is a servo motor, and the mechanical structure includes a robotic arm assembly 3. The robotic arm assembly 3 includes a first support frame 31, a first rotating shaft 32, and a swing arm 34. The first rotating shaft 32 is mounted on the first support frame 31, and its first end is connected to the servo motor via a transmission component, meaning the servo motor drives the first rotating shaft 32 to rotate. The swing arm 34 is mounted on the first rotating shaft 32 at its middle position and is installed inside the first support frame 31, which covers the outer periphery of the switch. In the prior art, the robotic arm is suspended above the switch, leading to unstable rotation. Since the first support frame 31 covers the outer periphery of the switch, it provides support for the first rotating shaft 32, and the swing arm 34 is installed inside the first support frame 31, ensuring its stability.

[0032] To ensure the overall balance of the switch, at least two swing arms 34 are provided along the length of the first rotating shaft 32, ensuring that both sides of the switch are subjected to balanced forces.

[0033] In addition, the mechanical structure can also be a telescopic rod that drives the switch button to open and close. There are at least two telescopic rods, distributed at the upper and lower ends of the switch assembly. The drive assembly drives one of the telescopic rods to achieve the action of opening or closing.

[0034] Mechanical structures are not limited to these two types; any structure that can enable the opening and closing of a switch is acceptable.

[0035] To further optimize the design, in order to ensure that the infrared emitting module 4 can be rotatably mounted on the first housing 1, the connecting component 5 includes a first support base 51 and a second support base 52. The infrared emitting module 4 is mounted on the second support base 52. The first support base 51 and the second support base 52 are hinged so that the second support base 52 can rotate up and down at the hinge position. There is friction between the two to fix the angle between the first support base 51 and the second support base 52. That is, the friction between the two can keep the first support base and the second support base 52 at a fixed angle, but the second support base 52 can rotate up and down under the action of external force, thereby adjusting the position of the infrared emitting module 4. In order to enable the infrared emitting module 4 to achieve horizontal rotation, a second rotating shaft 53 is provided at the end of the first support base 51 away from the second support base 52. The second rotating shaft 53 is inserted into the first housing 1 through a first through hole, and a limiting member 54 is provided on the second rotating shaft 53. Specifically, the limiting member 54 is installed in the first housing 1, thereby limiting the position of the first support base 51, so as to realize that the first support base 51 can be rotatably mounted on the first housing 1.

[0036] Furthermore, the connecting component 5 is not limited to the structure of the first support base 51 and the second support base 52 mentioned above. It can also be other structures, as long as it can enable the adjustment of the infrared emitting module. Among them, it can be a universal wheel mechanism.

[0037] To further optimize the design, a USB power interface 15 is provided on the first housing 1. The USB power interface 15 is electrically connected to the battery pack, which facilitates powering the battery pack.

[0038] To further optimize the design, silicone pressing heads 33 are provided at both ends of the swing arm 34 to reduce the collision force between the swing arm 34 and the switch, thus ensuring the service life of the switch.

[0039] To further optimize the design and make it easier for people to know the specific status of the control board, an indicator light 14 is provided on the first housing 1. The indicator light 14 is electrically connected to the control board 11 and is used to display the working, learning, fault and other statuses of the control board.

[0040] In a further optimized design, a human infrared sensor or a photosensitive sensor is installed on the first housing 1, and the human infrared sensor or the photosensitive sensor is electrically connected to the control board 11. Specifically, the human infrared sensor is used to detect whether there is a person in the room, and the photosensitive sensor is used to detect the light intensity. When a person is detected in the room and the light intensity is lower than a first preset value on the control board 11, the control board 11 controls the servo motor to operate. When the photosensitive sensor detects that the light intensity is higher than a second preset value on the control board 11, or when the human infrared sensor detects that no one is in the room, the control board 11 controls the servo motor to turn off.

[0041] To further optimize the design, in order to facilitate the installation of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 in a fixed position, the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are provided with adhesive backing or snap-on bases. This facilitates the installation of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, but it is not limited to these two forms. As long as the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 can be fixed, it is acceptable.
