Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of remote control accessories, particularly to the accommodating groove.

Background Art

[0002] Currently, remote controls are equipped in various electronic devices to achieve remote control. However, the daily storage of remote controls generally causes great annoyance. Since there is no fixed placement location, remote controls are often placed casually and may be difficult to find when in use.

[0003] To solve this problem, currently, accommodating grooves for placing remote controls are designed in many electrical products. However, the conventional design of the accommodating groove generally has the following problems: If the shape of the groove body and the remote control match and the gap is too small, shaking can be effectively restricted, but taking out the remote control becomes extremely inconvenient. On the contrary, if too much operating space is ensured, it is easy to take out, but when taking out, the remote control may collide inside the groove, is prone to shaking, and there is a risk of collision and damage.

[0004] Another improvement solution is to lock and fix the top and bottom surfaces of the remote control by the accommodating groove and ensure extraction spaces on both sides. This design makes collision prevention and convenience of taking in and out compatible to a certain extent, but its engaging structure generally can only fit remote controls of a single specific height, has poor versatility, and its application range is greatly limited.

Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the problems in the above background art, the present invention provides an accommodating groove that can be used to position multiple types of remote controls and simultaneously facilitates fixing and taking out.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The solution means adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems are as follows: A receiving groove is provided, wherein a position regulating member is installed opposite to the bottom surface of the groove body, the position regulating member includes a locking claw and an elastic locking arm, the top surface and bottom surface of the elastic locking arm are fixedly connected to the locking claw and the groove body, respectively, a locking projection is provided in the center of the elastic locking arm, and notches are provided on both sides of the locking projection.

[0007] Furthermore, the groove body includes a groove surface at the bottom, a shielding surface at the top, and three connected side walls.

Unless otherwise specified, "plural" means two or more.

[0021] Unless specifically defined and limited, the terms "attachment", "connection", "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a removable connection, or an integral connection. It may be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a communication within two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to specific situations.

[0022] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the accommodation groove includes a groove body 1, and a position regulating member 2 is oppositely installed on the bottom surface of the groove body 1. The accommodation groove of this embodiment is mainly used for placing a remote control. The position regulating member 2 includes a locking claw 21 at the top and an elastic locking arm 22 at the side. Here, both the locking claw 21 and the elastic locking arm 22 are made of an elastic material, and the elastic material may be one of TPU, POM or polycarbonate.

[0023] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the elastic locking arm 22 is fixedly connected to the locking claw 21 at the top surface and fixedly connected to the groove body 1 at the bottom surface. A locking protrusion 221 is provided at the central portion of the elastic locking arm 22, and cutouts 23 are provided on both sides of the locking protrusion 221.

[0024] The elastic locking arm 22 of this embodiment mainly utilizes the elastic deformation ability of its material to fix external objects. As shown in FIG. 1, when the remote control is placed between the two position restricting members 2, its side presses against the locking protrusion 221, forcing the elastic locking arm 22 to bend outward. The elastic restoring force generated accordingly continuously acts on the side of the remote control through the locking protrusion 221, forming a stable clamping force, fixing the remote control inside the groove body 1, and preventing it from shaking or colliding in the groove.

[0025] Here, the locking protrusion 221 extends outward from the top end of the elastic locking arm 22 to form a pressing surface, and the pressing surface fixes the remote control to its bottom. The receiving groove of this embodiment stably fixes the remote control inside the groove body 1 by the pressing force and side pressure formed by the locking protrusion 221 on the position restricting member 2 and the elastic locking arm 22.

[0026] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the groove body 1 includes a groove surface 11 at the bottom, a shielding surface 12 at the top, and three connected side walls 13. The groove opening is installed on the side surface of the groove body 1, and the remote control enters the inside of the groove body 1 through the groove opening.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 3, the locking claw 21 is fixedly connected at its end to the side wall 13. A fixed end 211 bent vertically is provided at one end of the locking claw 21 away from the elastic locking arm 22, and the bottom of the fixed end 211 is fixedly connected to the groove surface 11.

[0028] As shown in Figure 4, guide ribs 3 are installed on the groove surface 11, and the guide ribs 3 are located between the two position-regulating members 2. The guide ribs 3 have a triangular shape, and the slopes on both sides of their apex form an introduction slope and an escape prevention slope, respectively. When a user places a remote control into the groove body 1, the introduction slope first contacts the bottom of the remote control. By utilizing the angle of this slope, the remote control can be guided to slide into the groove body 1. The escape prevention slope is a long slope with a different angle from the introduction slope. When the remote control is fixed inside the groove body 1, if the device vibrates and tries to move the remote control backward in the opposite direction, the escape prevention slope interferes with the remote control structure, thereby preventing its unintentional escape and acting as a one-way backward prevention, ensuring the reliability of storage.

[0029] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any substantial changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the invention are all within the scope of protection of the present invention. [Explanation of Symbols]
