DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] The technical solution of the present application will be described below by specific embodiments with reference to the drawings. It is understood that the specific examples described herein are only for the purpose of interpreting the present application, and do not limit the present application. For ease of explanation, the drawings only show parts related to the present application, not the entirety of the present application.

[0012] Example 1 As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, this embodiment provides a control box including a control box body 1, a control board 4, a control switch 32, a pressing part 31, a wireless charging module 2, and an elastic return part 14, in which the wireless charging module 2 and the control switch 32 are electrically connected to the control board 4, and the wireless charging module 2 and the control box body 1 are connected to form an accommodating space, and the control board 4, the pressing part 31, the control switch 32, and the elastic return part 14 are all disposed within the accommodating space, and the wireless charging module 2 is connected to the control box body. The wireless charging module 2 is configured to be movable up and down relative to the control switch 32, and the wireless charging module 2 is configured to drive the operation of the pressing portion 31 so that the pressing portion 31 abuts against the control switch 32, and the elastic return portion 14 is configured to provide an acting force that lifts the wireless charging module 2 so that the pressing portion 31 and the control switch 32 are separated.

[0013] By pressing the wireless charging module 2 downward with an external force and moving it downward relative to the control box body 1, the pressing portion 31 is moved or pressed closer to the control switch 32, and when the pressing portion 31 abuts against the control switch 32, the control switch 32 is operated. After the external force is removed, the wireless charging module 2 rises due to the action of the elastic return portion 14, separating the pressing portion 31 from the control switch 32.

[0014] The control box of this embodiment has a wireless charging module 2, a pressing portion 31, and a control switch 32 arranged in a coordinated manner, thereby improving the compactness between each structural component of the control box, improving the integration degree of the control box, reducing the volume of the control box, and improving the appearance effect of the control box.

[0015] In this embodiment, the elastic return part 14 includes a support plate 142 located directly below the wireless charging module 2 and in contact with the wireless charging module 2, and an elastically deformable elastic arm 141, and the support plate 142 is connected to the control box body 1 by a plurality of elastic arms 141 distributed in the circumferential direction. In other embodiments, a spring may be used instead of the elastic return part 14, for example, the lower end of the spring is connected to the control box body 1 and the upper end of the spring is in contact with the lower surface of the wireless charging module 2.

[0016] In one embodiment, the control box body 1 comprises an upper cover 11, a lower cover 12 and a mounting part 13, of which the lower cover 12 has a structure with an open top and the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12 are connected to each other, and as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the mounting part 13 has a ring structure and is connected to the upper cover 11, and a support plate 142 is connected to the mounting part 13 by a plurality of elastic arms 141 distributed in the circumferential direction. In this embodiment, four elastic arms 141 are provided and the four elastic arms 141 are distributed at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the support plate 142.

[0017] In one embodiment, the elastic arms 141, the support plate 142 and the mounting part 13 are integrally formed. For example, the elastic arms 141 are arc-shaped plates, one end of each arc-shaped plate is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the support plate 142, and the other end of each arc-shaped plate is connected to the inner peripheral wall of the mounting part 13, and there is a gap between the outer peripheral wall of the support plate 142 and the inner peripheral wall of the arc-shaped plate, and between the outer peripheral wall of the arc-shaped plate and the inner peripheral wall of the mounting part 13, so that when the support plate 142 is pressed, it can move downward and the elastic arms 141 are pulled downward.

[0018] When the wireless charging module 2 is pressed downward, the pressing part 31 moves downward to approach the control switch 32, and at the same time, the wireless charging module 2 presses the support plate 142 downward so that the support plate 142 receives the force and moves downward, and the elastic arm 141 is pulled downward against the mounting part 13 due to the pulling action of the support plate 142. After the external force is removed, the elastic arm 141 returns to its original position and pulls the support plate 142 to move upward, and the support plate 142 pushes the wireless charging module 2 to move upward, causing the pressing part 31 to separate from the control switch 32.

[0019] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 and 5 to 7, in this embodiment, the wireless charging module 2 includes a wireless charging coil 22 and a charging cover 21, and a plurality of positioning ribs 137 are protruded from the upper surface of the mounting portion 13 and distributed in the circumferential direction, and the wireless charging coil 22 is sandwiched within a space surrounded by the plurality of positioning ribs 137.

[0020] In another embodiment, the charging cover 21 further includes a pair of conductive wires 24 arranged on the lower surface thereof and distributed along the circumferential direction thereof. A plurality of positioning ribs may be provided, and wireless charging coil 22 may be sandwiched within a space surrounded by the plurality of positioning ribs.

[0021] In one embodiment, one end of the pressing part 31 is connected to the wireless charging module 2, and the other end of the pressing part 31 passes through the support plate 142 and faces the control switch 32. For example, the upper end of the pressing part 31 is connected to the lower surface of the charging cover 21, and the wireless charging coil 22 and the support plate 142 are both provided with drilled holes in the centers thereof, and the lower end of the pressing part 31 passes through the wireless charging coil 22 and the support plate 142 in sequence and faces the control switch 32. In one embodiment, a mounting base 211 is protrudingly provided on the lower surface of the charging cover 21, the wireless charging coil 22 is fitted into the mounting base 211, and the pressing part 31 is located at the center of the charging cover 21 and connected to the mounting base 211 by an inserting manner, which is simple to connect and easy to remove. In other embodiments, the pressing part 31 may further be screwed to the charging cover 21.

[0022] 1 to 9 , the wireless charging module 2 is attached to the control box body 1. For example, the wireless charging module 2 is provided with a plurality of anti-slip clips 214 arranged in the circumferential direction, and the mounting part 13 is provided with clip holes 133 corresponding to each of the anti-slip clips 214, and the anti-slip clips 214 pass through the corresponding clip holes 133 and can selectively abut against or be separated from the lower surface of the mounting part 13.

[0023] In one embodiment, the anti-slip clip 214 is provided on the lower surface of charging cover 21, and wireless charging coil 22 is located in an annular space surrounded by the multiple anti-slip clips 214. A groove 212 is provided on the lower surface of charging cover 21, thereby forming a turn-up edge 213, and anti-slip clip 214 includes a clip body and a anti-slip part, the upper end of the clip body is connected to the bottom wall of groove 212, the lower end of the clip body extends from groove 212, and the anti-slip part is protruded from the lower end surface of the clip body toward the side of the central axis of charging cover 21.

[0024] When no external force is acting on the wireless charging module 2, the upper surface of the support plate 142 abuts against the lower surface of the wireless charging coil 22, the wireless charging coil 22 is interposed between the lower surface of the charging cover 21 and the upper surface of the support plate 142, and the charging cover 21 is subjected to an upward acting force provided by the support plate 142, whereby the anti-slip portion abuts against the lower surface of the mounting part 13, and at this time, a gap is provided between the lower surface of the turn-up edge 213 and the upper surface of the mounting part 13. When the wireless charging module 2 is pressed downward, the support plate 142 moves downward, the mounting portion 13 is limited to the upper cover 11 and cannot operate, and the retaining portion moves downward by separating from the lower surface of the mounting portion 13, so that the gap between the lower surface of the turn-up edge 213 and the upper surface of the mounting portion 13 gradually decreases, and when the lower surface of the turn-up edge 213 abuts against the upper surface of the mounting portion 13, the pressing portion 31 abuts against the control switch 32, and the charging cover 21 cannot continue to move downward, thereby preventing the pressing portion 31 from exerting too much force on the control switch 32 and damaging the control switch 32. In one embodiment, a position restricting base 1421 is protruding from the lower surface of the support plate 141, and when the pressing portion 31 abuts against the control switch 32, the position restricting base 1421 abuts against the upper surface of the control board 4, thereby further preventing the pressing portion 31 from exerting too much force on the control switch 32 and damaging the control switch 32.

[0025] In one embodiment, the control box further includes a light-guiding cover 53 made of a light-transmitting material and exposed to the outside, and a wireless charging indicator light disposed close to the light-guiding cover 53 and electrically connected to the control board 4, configured to indicate whether the wireless charging module 2 is in an operating state. In this embodiment, the lower end of the wireless charging indicator light is connected to the control board 4, the light-guiding cover 53 is disposed on the outside of the upper end of the wireless charging indicator light, the upper cover 11 is provided with a light-transmitting hole 111, and the upper end of the light-guiding cover 53 closes the light-transmitting hole 111.

[0026] For example, a first mounting engagement groove 112 facing the light-guiding cover 53 is further provided on the lower surface of the upper lid 11, and a light-transmitting hole 111 penetrates a bottom wall of the first mounting engagement groove 112 along the vertical direction, and an upper end of the light-guiding cover 53 is inserted into the first mounting engagement groove 112 to close the light-transmitting hole 111. Not only can it be seen from the outside through the light-transmitting hole 111 whether the wireless charging indicator light is turned on or not, but external dust can be prevented from entering the control box body 1 through the light-transmitting hole 111.

[0027] In this embodiment, the wireless charging coil 22 is connected to the control board 4 by a conductor, and a wiring groove 131 is provided in the mounting part 13. The two conductors connected to the wireless charging coil 22 both pass through the wiring groove 131 and are electrically connected to the control board 4.

[0028] In one embodiment, the control box further includes a microphone 51 electrically connected to the control board 4, and the microphone 51 is provided in the control box body 1, providing the control box with a voice control function. In this embodiment, the microphone 51 is located above the control board 4, and the top cover 11 is provided with a microphone sound hole 114 directly facing the microphone 51, improving the sound pickup function of the microphone 51.

[0029] For example, a second mounting engagement groove 113 is provided on the lower surface of the top cover 11 directly facing the microphone 51, the upper end of the microphone 51 is inserted into the second mounting engagement groove 113, and the microphone sound hole 114 penetrates the bottom wall of the second mounting engagement groove 113 along the vertical direction.

[0030] In one embodiment, the control box further includes an audio indicator 42 located in the receiving space and electrically connected to the control board 4, the audio indicator 42 is configured to indicate the working state of the microphone 51, the mounting part 13 is at least partially made of a light-transmitting material, and the audio indicator 42 is provided near the mounting part 13 made of a light-transmitting material. In one embodiment, the entire mounting part 13 is made of a light-transmitting material, and the working state of the microphone 51 can be determined by observing whether the audio indicator 42 below the mounting part 13 is lit or the color of the lit audio indicator 42. In this embodiment, when the audio indicator 42 is off, it indicates that the microphone 51 is not turned on, when the audio indicator 42 is lit with a blue light, it indicates that the microphone 51 is operable, and when the audio indicator 42 is lit with a red light, it indicates that the microphone 51 is prohibited from working.

[0031] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 4, 5 and 6, an attachment groove is provided on the upper surface of the attachment part 13, thereby forming an annular protrusion 132, and the clip hole 133 penetrates the bottom wall of the attachment groove, and the turn-up edge 213 is inserted into the attachment groove, so that the annular protrusion 132 is not blocked by the charging cover 21 and is exposed to the outside, making it easy to observe whether the audio indicator light 42 is turned on by the attachment part 13 and the color of the lit audio indicator light 42.

[0032] In one embodiment, in order to improve the appearance effect of the control box, the lower surface of the turn-up edge 213 is always lower than the upper surface of the annular convexity 132, and whether the wireless charging module 2 is pressed or not, the turn-up edge 213 does not become higher than the annular convexity 132, so that the gap between the lower surface of the turn-up edge 213 and the upper surface of the mounting part 13 cannot be observed from the outside of the control box, thereby improving the aesthetic performance of the control box.

[0033] In one embodiment, the upper cover 11 and the mounting portion 13 are engaged with each other. For example, a mounting boss 134 is provided on the lower surface of the mounting portion 13, and a portion of the mounting boss 134 whose outer diameter is smaller than the outer wall diameter of the mounting portion 13 forms a position restriction surface 135. In this embodiment, the mounting boss 134 has an annular structure, and the position restriction surface 135 is provided between the outer peripheral wall of the mounting boss 134 and the outer peripheral wall of the mounting portion 13.

[0034] A position restricting clip 1341 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the mounting boss 134 in a protruding manner, the top cover 11 has an annular structure, and a first position restricting boss 115 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the top cover 11 in a protruding manner. The lower end of the mounting part 13 is inserted into the top cover 11 from above so that the position restricting clip 1341 is pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the top cover 11, and when the position restricting surface 135 abuts against the upper surface of the first position restricting boss 115, the mounting part 13 cannot continue to move. At this time, the position restricting clip 1341 passes through the top cover 11 and abuts against the lower surface of the first position restricting boss 115, and the first position restricting boss 115 is interposed between the position restricting surface 135 and the position restricting clip 1341, thereby realizing the engagement between the top cover 11 and the mounting part 13. When the above connection method is adopted, the top cover 11 does not block the annular convex edge 132, and the entire annular convex edge 132 is guaranteed to be exposed to the outside, making it easy to observe the lighting state of the audio indicator light 42. In this embodiment, the first position control boss 115 has a ring-shaped structure, which increases the contact area between the position control surface 135 and the first position control boss 115, thereby improving the stability of the engagement between the top cover 11 and the mounting portion 13.

[0035] In order to prevent the mounting part 13 from rotating relative to the top cover 11, the position restricting surface 135 is provided with a position restricting protrusion 1351, and the upper surface of the first position restricting boss 115 is provided with a first position restricting groove 1151 that corresponds to the position restricting protrusion 1351 in one-to-one correspondence, and the position restricting protrusion 1351 and the first position restricting groove 1151 are inserted in the vertical direction, thereby restricting the rotation of the mounting part 13 relative to the top cover 11. In one embodiment, the lower end of the first position restricting boss 115 extends a certain distance from the mounting part 13, and the lower surface of the first position restricting boss 115 is provided with a second position restricting groove 1152, and when the first position restricting boss 115 is interposed between the position restricting surface 135 and the position restricting clip 1341, the position restricting clip 1341 abuts against the bottom wall of the second position restricting groove 1152.

[0036] For the appearance effect of the control box, in this embodiment, the upper surface of the top cover 11 and the upper surface of the annular tongue 132 are flush with each other.

[0037] In one embodiment, the positioning groove 1342 is provided on the lower surface of the mounting boss 134. In order to prevent the control board 4 from rattling, in this embodiment, a first position restriction slot 43 is provided on the upper surface of the control board 4, and the mounting boss 134 is inserted into the first position restriction slot 43 and abuts against the bottom wall of the first position restriction slot 43.

[0038] In this embodiment, a cutout 45 is provided in the control board 4, and a support arm 1202 is protruded from the inner wall of the bottom cover 12, one end of the support arm 1202 passes through the cutout 45, and a support surface 1203 is formed on the support arm 1202, which supports the control board 4.

[0039] In this embodiment, a second position control slot 44 is provided on the upper surface of the control board 4, and the first position control boss 115 on the top cover 11 is inserted into the second position control slot 44 and abuts against the bottom wall of the second position control slot 44, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the control board 4, the top cover 11, and the mounting portion 13.

[0040] In one embodiment, the top cover 11 and the bottom cover 12 are engaged with each other. For example, an engagement protrusion 121 is provided on the inner wall of the bottom cover 12, a second position restricting boss 116 is provided on the lower surface of the top cover 11, and a position restricting engagement groove 117 is provided on the outer wall of the second position restricting boss 116, which corresponds to the engagement protrusion 121 one-to-one, and the engagement protrusion 121 is inserted into the corresponding position restricting engagement groove 117 by inserting the second position restricting boss 116 into the bottom cover 12. The above method not only allows the top cover 11 to be engaged with the bottom cover 12, but also prevents both the engagement protrusion 121 and the second position restricting boss 116 from being exposed to the outside, improving the appearance of the control box.

[0041] In this embodiment, the second position restriction boss 116 has a ring structure, and in order to increase the structural strength of the second position restriction boss 116, which is the position where the position restriction engagement groove 117 is provided, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided on the inner wall of the second position restriction boss 116, the reinforcing ribs are provided directly opposite the position restriction engagement groove 117, and the reinforcing ribs connect the lower surface of the upper cover 11 and the inner wall of the second position restriction boss 116.

[0050] In one embodiment, the control box further includes a control cable 41, one end of which is connected to the control board 4 and the other end of which protrudes from the control box body 1. For example, a cable passage hole 1201 is provided on the side wall of the bottom cover 12, and the cable passage hole 1201 is used to insert the control cable 41.

[0051] In order to prevent the connection between the control cable 41 and the control board 4 from loosening due to rattle of the control cable 41, in this embodiment, a fixture 129 is provided in a protruding manner on the inner bottom wall of the bottom cover 12, a cable holding groove is provided in the fixture 129, and the cable holding plate 8 is connected above the fixture 129, so that the control cable 41 is interposed between the fixture 129 and the cable holding plate 8. For example, the fixture 129 and the cable holding plate 8 are connected by a second screw.

[0052] In one embodiment, the mounting portion 13 and the bottom cover 12 are connected by a fastener.

[0053] For example, the fastener may be a tapping screw.

[0054] This embodiment further provides an electric furniture equipped with the above-mentioned control box, which makes it easy for users to control the electric furniture through the control box. The control box also has a wireless charging function, and users can adopt the control box to wirelessly charge mobile terminals such as mobile phones.

[0055] Example 2 The present embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the position of the mounting part 13. For example, the upper end of the pressing part 31 is connected to the lower surface of the support plate 142, and the lower end of the pressing part 31 faces the control switch 32. When the wireless charging module 2 is pressed downward, the wireless charging module 2 moves downward with respect to the mounting part 13 to separate the retaining clip 214 from the lower surface of the mounting part 13, and at the same time, the support plate 142 is pressed to move the pressing part 31 downward, so that the pressing part 31 abuts against the control switch 32, and at the same time, the elastic arm 141 is pulled downward by the action of the support plate 142. After the external force is removed, the support plate 142 moves the pressing part 31 upward by the action of the elastic arm 141, so that the pressing part 31 and the control switch 32 are separated, and at the same time, the support plate 142 pushes the wireless charging module 2 upward with respect to the mounting part 13 to abut the retaining clip 214 against the lower surface of the mounting part 13.

[0056] In one embodiment, the control switch 32 may control the movement of a motor or may be configured as a voice switch. For example, the control switch 32 may send a control signal to control the movement of a motor and may be configured as a voice switch.

[0057] In one embodiment, the control switch 32 is primarily used to control the on / off of the audio function.

[0058] In one embodiment, the electric component controlled by the control switch 32 may be a driving motor such as a driver (for example, the control switch 32 sends a control signal to the motor of an electric bed to control the operation of the electric bed), or it may be a control box that controls the driving of the motor.

[0059] Taking the electric component controlled by the control switch 32 as an example, a control box that controls the driving of a motor, generally, a remote control can be used to control the control box that is a set in an electric bed to trigger the movement of the motor of the electric bed. By applying this embodiment, the control box of this embodiment can be used to remotely control the control box that is a set in an electric bed to trigger the movement of the motor of the electric bed, and it can be seen that there are two control boxes with different functions, and the control switch first electrically communicates with the control box that is a set in the electric bed through a circuit board, and then controls the movement of the motor of the electric bed.

[0060] In one embodiment, there are multiple state switching methods for the wireless charging module 2, which are not limited here.

[0061] For example, the wireless charging module 2 can always be in a powered state whether the pressing portion 31 and the control switch 32 are separated or not.

[0062] Furthermore, for example, by triggering the control switch 32 (e.g., pressing once and releasing once), the control switch 32 can send a control signal to command the wireless charging power source to be turned on / off, which are all selectable functions.

[0063] The embodiments of the present application disclose a control box and electric furniture that can reduce the volume of the control box and improve the aesthetic performance of the control box.

[0064] In the control box disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, an external force is applied to press the wireless charging module downward to move it downward relative to the control box body, thereby moving or pushing the pressing part closer to the control switch, and when the pressing part abuts against the control switch, the control switch is operated, and after the external force is removed, the wireless charging module moves away from the control switch due to the action of the elastic return part, and the pressing part and the control switch are separated. In the control box disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, the wireless charging module, the pressing part, and the control switch are arranged in a coordinated manner, thereby improving the compactness between the structural members of the control box, improving the integration degree of the control box, reducing the volume of the control box, and improving the appearance effect of the control box.

[0065] The embodiments of the present application disclose an electric furniture equipped with the above-mentioned control box, which makes it easy for users to control the electric furniture through the control box, and the control box also has a wireless charging function, and users can adopt the control box to wirelessly charge mobile terminals such as mobile phones. The control box is provided with a wireless charging module, a control switch and a pressing part in cooperation with each other, which improves the compactness between the structural members of the control box, reduces the volume of the control box, improves the appearance effect of the control box, and increases user satisfaction. is high.
