They can connect various devices in the home through IoT technology, providing a variety of functions and means such as appliance control, lighting control, curtain control, remote telephone control, indoor and outdoor remote control, burglar alarm, environmental monitoring, HVAC control, infrared relay, and programmable timer control.

[0003] Existing smart windows generally require a window controller to control the opening and closing of the window and the angle of the window opening. The window controller is usually installed on the window using an external shell or an embedded shell fixed with screws. The external shell solution affects the appearance of the product, while the embedded shell solution mostly uses screws for fixing, which affects repeated use and is not convenient for disassembly and assembly. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve at least one problem of the prior art by proposing an embedded window controller.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an embedded window controller, comprising a housing, a PCB board, a cover plate, and an elastic locking assembly. At least one end of the housing is provided with a limiting channel, and a cavity is provided inside the housing. The cavity and the limiting channel are separated by a partition. The PCB board is installed inside the cavity. The elastic locking assembly includes a top block and a spring. The top block is slidably installed within the limiting channel of the housing. An inclined protrusion is provided on the side of the top block away from the housing. The two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the top block and the partition plate. After the housing is embedded in the mounting opening of the window profile, the inclined protrusion abuts against the window profile. The extension and retraction of the spring adjusts the length of the top block extending beyond the limiting channel, thereby enabling quick assembly and disassembly of the housing and the mounting opening of the window profile. The cover plate covers the upper surfaces of the cavity and the limiting channel.

[0006] As an optional implementation, the elastic locking assembly further includes a guide pin, and the top block is provided with a guide groove along the length direction parallel to the limiting channel. The guide pin is fitted onto the cover plate, and the guide pin portion is located in the guide groove and can move along the guide groove.

[0007] As an optional implementation, the top block is provided with a guide strip, and the inner wall of the limiting channel is provided with a limiting groove, and the guide strip is slidably installed in the limiting groove.

[0008] As an optional implementation, the top block is provided with a guide groove on one or both sides, and the inner wall of the limiting channel is provided with a guide boss on one or both sides. The guide boss and the guide groove are connected to each other so that the top block can move linearly along the limiting channel.

[0009] As an optional implementation, limit plates are provided at both ends of the guide groove, and the limit plates are used to limit the maximum sliding distance of the top block.

[0010] As an optional implementation, the housing is provided with indicator light mounting holes.

[0011] As an optional implementation, the housing is provided with an acrylic panel, which has a wiring port and an indicator light hole.

[0012] As an optional implementation, the PCB board is fastened to the cavity of the housing with screws, and the cover plate and the housing are connected by screws.

[0013] As an optional implementation, the cover plate is provided with openings for wiring.

[0014] As an optional implementation, the housing has a protrusion on the side exposed outside the window profile.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a limiting channel at at least one end of the housing, and sliding an elastic locking component inside the limiting channel, the housing is aligned with and pressed into the installation opening of the window profile, and the elastic locking component abuts against the window profile to complete the embedded installation of the controller. After the controller is removed, simply press the top block of the elastic locking component to cause the spring to contract, lift one end of the controller, and then rotate it to disengage the controller from the installation opening of the window profile. No screws are required, which facilitates the quick disassembly and assembly of the controller. The controller is embedded in the window profile, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing overall appearance.

[0016] The features and advantages of this utility model will be described in detail through embodiments and accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0028] See Figures 1 to 7This embodiment provides an embedded window controller, including a housing 1, a PCB board 4, a cover plate 3, and an elastic locking assembly 2. At least one end of the housing 1 is provided with a limiting channel 10. A cavity 11 is provided inside the housing 1. The cavity 11 and the limiting channel 10 are separated by a partition 12. The PCB board 4 is installed in the cavity 11. The elastic locking assembly 2 includes a top block 21 and a spring 22. The top block 21 is slidably installed in the limiting channel 10 of the housing 1. An inclined protrusion 23 is provided on the side of the top block 21 away from the housing 1. The two ends of the spring 22 are respectively connected to the top block 21 and the partition 12. After the housing 1 is embedded in the mounting opening 61 of the window profile 6, the inclined protrusion 23 abuts against the window profile 6. The extension and retraction of the spring 22 realizes the length adjustment of the top block 21 extending out of the limiting channel 10, thereby realizing the quick assembly and disassembly of the housing 1 and the mounting opening 61 of the window profile 6. The cover plate 3 covers the upper end face of the cavity 1 and the limiting channel 10.

[0029] When installing the controller, first press the top block 21 to retract the spring 22. Insert one end of the housing 1 into the mounting opening 61 of the window profile 6, and then insert the other end into the mounting opening 61 of the window profile 6. After the external force is released, the top block 21 moves outward under the elastic action of the spring 22, and the inclined protrusion 23 abuts against the window profile 6, securing the controller to the window profile 6. When it is necessary to remove the controller, press the top block 21 to retract the spring 22. First, disengage one end of the housing 1 from the mounting opening 61 of the window profile 6, and pull it outward to remove the controller from the window profile 6. The end of the top block 21 away from the inclined protrusion 23 is provided with a spring insertion hole or spring limiting post for limiting the installation of the spring 22, and the partition 12 is provided with a spring limiting post for limiting the installation of the spring 22. During installation, one end of the spring 22 is inserted into the spring insertion hole of the top block 21, and the other end of the spring 22 is sleeved on the spring limiting post of the partition plate 12; or, both ends of the spring 22 are sleeved on the spring limiting posts of the top block 21 and the partition plate 12 respectively.

[0030] Depending on the installation requirements, a limiting channel 10 can be set at one or both ends of the housing 1. The number of elastic locking components 2 can also be selected according to the installation environment; one or two can be set.

[0031] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 A spring locking assembly 2 is provided, a limiting channel 10 is provided at one end of the housing 1, the spring locking assembly 2 is correspondingly set in the limiting channel 10, and an inclined clip is provided at the other end of the housing 1.

[0032] In other embodiments, two spring locking assemblies 2 are provided, and limiting channels 10 are provided at both ends of the housing 1. The spring locking assemblies 2 and the limiting channels 10 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, see [reference]. Figures 1 to 4 There is a gap between the inclined protrusion 23 or the inclined clip and the housing 1. After the controller is installed with the window profile 6, this gap can be engaged with the window profile 6, so that the window profile 6 and the controller are locked together, making it difficult for the controller to fall off after installation. The maximum length of the housing 1 is greater than the length of the mounting opening 61 of the window profile 6. On the one hand, this ensures the stable installation of the controller, and on the other hand, part of the housing can be exposed outside the window profile, making it convenient to remove the controller later.

[0034] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1 to 6 The elastic locking assembly 2 also includes a guide pin 24. The top block 21 is provided with a guide groove 25 along the length direction parallel to the limiting channel 10. The guide pin 24 is installed on the cover plate 3. The guide pin 24 is partially located in the guide groove 25 and can move along the guide groove 25, further ensuring the stability of the linear movement of the top block 21.

[0035] In other embodiments, the top block 21 is provided with a guide strip, and the inner wall of the limiting channel 10 is provided with a limiting groove. The guide strip is slidably installed in the limiting groove to ensure the smooth linear movement of the top block 21.

[0036] In other embodiments, the top block 21 is provided with guide grooves on one or both sides, and the inner wall of the limiting channel 10 is provided with guide bosses on one or both sides. The guide bosses and guide grooves are connected to each other so that the top block can move linearly along the limiting channel, ensuring the stability of the linear movement of the top block 21.

[0037] In this specific embodiment, limit plates are provided at both ends of the guide groove. The limit plates are used to limit the maximum sliding distance of the top block 21. The limit plates can abut against the guide boss, thereby limiting the farthest sliding position of the top block 21.

[0038] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 5 The housing 1 is provided with indicator light mounting holes, which correspond to the indicator lights on the PCB board. The housing 1 is provided with infrared receiver holes and reset button holes at positions corresponding to the infrared receiver and reset button on the PCB board 4.

[0039] In this embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with an acrylic panel 5, which is provided with a wiring port and an indicator light hole. The wiring port includes a USB charging port.

[0040] Acrylic panel 5 is mounted on housing 1 using adhesive or screws, and RF antenna on PCB board 4 is attached to acrylic panel to improve RF antenna efficiency.

[0041] In this embodiment, the PCB board 4 is fastened to the cavity 11 of the housing 1 with screws, and the cover plate and the housing are connected by screws. The housing 1 has fastening posts inside, which correspond to fastening holes on the PCB board 4, and screws are installed on the fastening posts and fastening holes respectively.

[0042] In this embodiment, the cover plate 3 is provided with an opening for wiring, which facilitates electrical connection between the PCB board 4 and the electrical components on the smart window.

[0043] In this embodiment, the housing 1 has a protrusion on the side exposed outside the window profile 6, which makes it easy for the user to grasp the housing 1 and move it outward so as to disassemble the controller.

[0044] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any simple modifications to the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
