Remote Controller Movable Member Locking Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote controllers for bark control components are prone to accidental triggering due to easily squeezable buttons, leading to unintended stimulation of pets and a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A remote controller design featuring a movable member that can switch between locked and released positions, using stopping blocks and position limiting convex blocks to prevent accidental triggering, allowing the user to intentionally trigger the switch only when needed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the remote controller uses simple buttons for easy operation, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability deteriorates due to accidental triggering
Solution Approach 1:
The button is designed as a movable member that can dynamically switch between a protruding state (for easy pressing) and a retracted state (for accidental prevention). The button's position changes based on operational needs, allowing it to be accessible when required but protected during carrying.
Solution Approach 2:
The button structure is segmented into functional parts: the movable member, the stopping block, and the switch. This segmentation allows the button to be mechanically divided into a pressing portion and a limiting portion, enabling independent control of its movement and triggering capabilities.
2Ease of operation
If the button is made easily squeezable for convenient use, then the ease of operation is improved, but the object-generated harmful factors worsen due to accidental pet stimulation
Solution Approach 1:
The stopping block is positioned in advance to prevent the button from protruding beyond a safe limit. This preliminary mechanical constraint counteracts the potential harmful effect of accidental pressing before it can occur, while still allowing intentional pressing when the button is deliberately actuated.
Solution Approach 2:
The movable member acts as an intermediary between the user's pressing action and the switch triggering mechanism. It mediates the force application by requiring deliberate compression beyond a threshold, while the stopping block serves as an intermediary constraint that prevents excessive protrusion and accidental activation.
3Device complexity
If the button structure is simplified, then the device complexity is reduced, but the reliability worsens due to inability to prevent accidental triggering
Solution Approach 1:
The button structure merges multiple functions into a single integrated component: the movable member combines the button pressing function, the stopping block provides the limiting function, and together they form a unified mechanism that prevents accidental triggering without requiring separate independent components.

AI summary
A remote controller for preventing accidental triggering includes a first outer housing, a first circuit board provided on the first outer housing, stopping blocks arranged on the first outer housing, and a movable member movably arranged on the first outer housing. The first circuit board is equipped with a switch. The movable member is configured to switch between a locked position and a released position when moving relative to the first outer housing. The movable member is blocked by the stopping block when in the locked position. When in the released position, the movable member is disengaged from the limiting of the stopping block, and can move in a direction close to the switch under external force to trigger the switch. When the remote controller is not needed, the movable member can be adjusted to the locked position, preventing the switch from being triggered accidentally during the carrying process.
