Remote Controller Light Module Housing for Night Use and Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional remote controllers lack a built-in lighting solution, making it inconvenient to use them in low-light environments, such as at night, and the light-emitting components are often exposed and prone to damage.
Innovation Solution
A remote controller design that integrates a light-emitting module within the shell, featuring a fixing plate and transparent cover plate for protection, along with a rotatable grip and elastic clasp for adjustable lighting and secure attachment, allowing the remote controller to be magnetically attached to metal surfaces for long-term illumination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the light emitting module is directly exposed outside the shell, then the lighting function is accessible, but the light emitting module is prone to damage and service life is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The light emitting module is nested within the shell structure, specifically embedded in the lower shell and fixed to the fixing plate. This nesting arrangement protects the light emitting module while allowing light to pass through the transparent cover plate, resolving the contradiction between accessibility and protection.
Solution Approach 2:
A transparent cover plate is used to cover the light emitting module, providing protection while maintaining light transmission. This thin film approach allows the lighting function to remain accessible while shielding the vulnerable components from direct exposure and damage.
2Duration of action of stationary object
If the light emitting module is embedded within the shell, then the service life is prolonged, but the lighting visibility may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The transparent cover plate serves as a thin film that allows light to pass through effectively while providing physical protection. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining high illumination visibility while extending the service life of the embedded light emitting module.
Solution Approach 2:
The light transmitting function is extracted and embodied through the transparent cover plate, separating the protection function from the light emission function. This allows the light emitting module to be embedded for protection while the cover plate ensures lighting visibility is not compromised.
3Illumination intensity
If additional carrying devices like flashlight are used for night illumination, then lighting function is achieved, but convenience is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting function is merged with the remote controller body by integrating the light emitting module directly into the shell structure. This combination eliminates the need to carry separate lighting devices like flashlights, achieving night illumination while maintaining user convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The remote controller is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a control device and a lighting device. This universal design allows the single device to perform multiple functions including remote control and night illumination, improving convenience by eliminating the need for additional carrying devices.
4Ease of manufacture
If the fixing plate and light emitting module are provided in the lower shell, then the structure is simplified and production cost is reduced, but the assembly precision may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The internal structure is segmented into the fixing plate and the lower shell as separate components. The fixing plate is provided in the lower shell with distinct fixing holes that align with limiting convex columns, enabling simple assembly while maintaining precision through the defined geometric relationships between components.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing plate provides localized precision features (fixing holes positioned at specific locations) within the broader lower shell structure. This local quality approach ensures assembly precision is maintained at critical interfaces while keeping the overall structure simple and cost-effective to manufacture.

AI summary
A remote controller includes a shell having an upper shell and a lower shell, and further includes a light emitting module and a fixing plate for fixing the light emitting module. The fixing plate is fixedly connected to an inner side of the lower shell. The light emitting module is fixedly connected to one side, far away from the lower shell, of the fixing plate. The fixing plate is provided with a first light-transmitting hole for displaying the light emitting module; and the lower shell is provided with a second light-transmitting hole for displaying the fixing plate.
