Description of drawings
One of ordinary skill in the art will should be readily appreciated that each feature and advantage of the present invention through hereinafter to present detailed description of preferred embodiment.To the accompanying drawing of this detailed description be briefly explained below.
Fig. 1 is the sketch map of window formula room air conditioner and remote control handset;
Fig. 2 is the perspective view of remote control handset; With
Fig. 3 is the top view of remote control handset shown in Figure 2.
The specific embodiment
Fig. 1 schematically shows air-conditioning unit 10, like window formula room air conditioner unit (WRAC).Just as is known, WRAC is used for the air in the associated room is cooled off.Remote control handset 12 is used for the operational factor of air-conditioning unit 10 is carried out remote control.
Like Fig. 2-shown in Figure 3, remote control handset 12 comprises housing 14, center pad part 18 and a plurality of additional pad 20 with screen portions 16.Housing 14 comprises the stiff rectangular body that is limited out at the edge that extends longitudinally 22, and the said edge that extends longitudinally connects through the edge 24 along horizontal expansion.The edge 22 that extends longitudinally is limited curved surface 26.Surface along horizontal expansion is straight and flat substantially surface 28.Curved surface 26 provides comfortable gripping area for the user.
The edge 22 that extends longitudinally limits the total length L 0 of remote control handset 12.Screen portions 16 limits first length L 1 and center pad part 18 limits second length L 2 with additional pad 20.First length L 1 and second length L 2 are added up and are less than total length L 0, thereby have reserved the part of no pad, and the part of this no pad comprises hand-held zone 30.Hand-held zone 30 is limited the 3rd length L 3.First length L 1, second length L 2 and the 3rd length L 3 are equal to each other substantially.This has formed compact design, makes the user be easy to grip this handheld device, and is easy to cosily use air-conditioning control input unit, and said air-conditioning control input unit comprises center pad part 18 and a plurality of additional pads 20.Be equal to each other substantially although be appreciated that these length, these length each other also can be slightly different; Yet the 3rd length L 3 should be enough big, so that comfortable gripping area 30 is provided.
In an example, in housing 14, formed groove 40, said groove is between the edge 22 that upper surface 42 and each of housing 14 extends longitudinally.Groove 40 extends along screen portions 16, center pad part 18, a plurality of additional pad 20 and hand-held zone 30 in a longitudinal direction.Groove 40 further helps gripping handheld device 12.
Center pad part 18 comprises the single circular gasket body 32 that is limited by the pad center C.Shim body 32 comprises a plurality of input pad panel region 34, and wherein center input pad panel region 34a is positioned at pad center C place, and radially spacer region 34b1-4 is positioned in radial position place with respect to the pad center C.In instance as shown in the figure, there are four (4) individual radially spacer region 34b.This radially spacer region 34b be formed the part of single circular gasket body 32.
When input pad panel region 34 was depressed by the user, at least one the input pad panel region in the said input pad panel region can cause demonstration information on screen portions 16.This information comprises a plurality of air conditioner operation parameters, like operational mode, temperature setting, fan speed etc.For other input pad panel region, when being depressed by the user, this input pad panel region is used to select required operational factor and/or is used to control as required or change operational factor.For example, when selecting temperature, spacer region is depressed so that raise temperature as required.
In instance as shown in the figure, center input pad panel region 34a comprises on, and radially spacer region 34b1-4 is activated so that control multiple function.In instance as shown in the figure, top radially spacer region 34b1 comprises pattern control input unit, and said pattern control input unit provides ventilation function, refrigerating function or heating function.Sidepiece radially spacer region 34b2,34b3 makes and can regulate so that this parameter raises or reduces parameter, temperature set raise or reduced.In addition, in instance as shown in the figure, bottom radially spacer region 34b4 comprises the fan speed selecting apparatus.
In instance as shown in the figure, a plurality of additional pads 20 comprise the first pad 20a and the second pad 20b.The first pad 20a and the second pad 20b are respectively curved shim, and said curved shim is round the part of the periphery of single circular gasket body 32.Each pad among the first pad 20a and the second pad 20b all provides inputting interface so that produce the additional control signal of the operational factor be used to control air-conditioning unit 10.In instance as shown in the figure, the first pad 20a returns timer (regressive timer), and the second pad 20b then starts programmable timer, and this makes the user to start air-conditioning unit 10 at special time.
Screen portions 16 is positioned in an end place of housing 14, and center pad part 18 is positioned between screen portions 16 and a plurality of additional pad 20 vertically.Hand-held zone 30 is positioned at locating with screen portions 16 relative ends of housing 14.Therefore, view screen and portion of the handle are relative, and the control area then is positioned in the position that the screen portions below is right after with it, so that when gripping this remote control handset, be easy to use said control area.
Although a plurality of combination of features have been shown, realize that a plurality of advantages of a plurality of embodiment of disclosure content of the present invention need not all these characteristics are all combined in illustrated example.In other words, disclosure content system that embodiment designs might not comprise all characteristics shown in arbitrary figure according to the present invention, also might not comprise all schematically illustrated among figure parts.In addition, selected characteristic can make up with selected characteristic in other exemplary embodiments in exemplary embodiments.
Being described in of front only is exemplary and nonrestrictive in essence.One of ordinary skill in the art can make multiple variation and modification to the instance that is disclosed under the situation of the essence that does not depart from disclosure content of the present invention.The legal protection scope of disclosure content of the present invention only can be confirmed through the mode of the following claims of research.
