In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. This application is, however, susceptible of embodiment in many other ways than those herein described and similar generalizations can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the application and the application is therefore not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
The terminology used in the present application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present application. The manner of description used in this application and in the appended claims is for example: "a", "a" and "a" etc. are not limited in number or order, but are used to distinguish the same type of information from each other.
Furthermore, in the description of the present application, unless otherwise indicated, the term "plurality" refers to two or more. The term "and/or" describes an association relationship of associated objects, meaning that there may be three relationships, e.g., a and/or B, which may represent: a exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone. The character "/" generally indicates that the context-dependent object is an "or" relationship. The terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

The specific meaning of these terms in this application will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art as appropriate.
Furthermore, the terms "disposed," "connected," "secured" and "affixed" are to be construed broadly. For example, "connected" may be in a fixed connection, a removable connection, or a unitary construction; may be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; may be directly connected, or indirectly connected through intervening media, or may be in internal communication between two devices, elements, or components.

Based on the above background, a radio frequency technology of 2.4G or bluetooth is commonly used for a lamp control switch, and the two radio frequency technologies have a certain difference in frequency range and transmission protocol, for example: in terms of frequency range, bluetooth has a frequency point of 2.4G, but other frequencies, and the frequency range is wider than the 2.4GHZ radio frequency; whereas 2.4GHZ radio frequency belongs to the public frequency range of ISM for free, the natural frequency range is relatively narrow. In terms of transmission protocol, the Bluetooth technology is a short-distance communication system, belonging to the IEEE standard; whereas the 2.4GHz radio frequency fully exploits its own protocol, may not follow any IEEE standard.
In the control switch field, the wireless technology of Bluetooth and 2.4G is used, compared with the infrared wireless technology, the cost is higher, but the infrared technology has the incomparable advantage of the Bluetooth and 2.4G wireless technology in the aspect of wireless control, namely, the working stability is high, because the infrared wireless technology belongs to light waves, and further, the interference resistance of infrared wireless transmission except strong light and barriers is strong. However, under the control switch, due to the fact that the infrared technology is influenced by the shell structure, the infrared signal is limited in transmission when the control switch is applied to the environment of the lamp control switch, and then Bluetooth or 2.4G wireless technologies with the cost higher than that of infrared transmitters are commonly used, so that under the lamp illumination environment, the cost of the lamp switch is higher, the stability of the Bluetooth or 2.4G wireless technologies is poor, and the abnormal condition occurrence frequency of no reaction in the lamp control process is higher.

In this embodiment, the lamp is mounted on a ceiling, and the lamp control switch is mounted on a vertical mounting surface, and an included angle formed by a line between the central axis of the first signal transmitting hole 1031 and the ceiling is 90 degrees. The line connecting the central axis of the second signal transmitting hole 1032 and the ceiling may be smaller than 90 degrees. An included angle formed by the first infrared signal emitter 301 and the second infrared signal emitter 302 on the emitted infrared signal line is an acute angle, that is, the included angle is less than 90 degrees.
In this embodiment, the installation angle of the first infrared signal emitter 301 and/or the second infrared signal emitter 302 is mainly used to control the angle of the included angle formed between the two infrared signal emitters, for example, the second emitting end 3021 of the second infrared signal emitter 302 is adjusted from the clockwise direction parallel to the ceiling to adjust the emitting angle, so that the second emitting end 3021 of the second infrared signal emitter 302 approaches to the direction of the lamp, that is: the infrared line emitted by the second transmitting end 3021 of the second infrared signal emitter 302 forms an elevation angle with a parallel line parallel to the ceiling, or the infrared line emitted by the second infrared signal emitter 302 has an angle with the parallel line of the ceiling, and the infrared line emitted by the second infrared signal emitter is not coincident with the parallel line of the ceiling. For another example, the first transmitting end 3011 of the first infrared signal transmitter 301 is set at a depression angle or a right angle to the ceiling. In this embodiment, the adjustment of the angle of the second transmitting end 3021 of the second infrared signal transmitter is mainly related to, but is not limited to the manner provided in this embodiment, and the angle of the first transmitting end 3011 of the first infrared signal transmitter 301 may also be adjusted, or the transmitting ends of both infrared transmitters may be adjusted.
The control of the elevation angle can be understood by adjusting the second transmitting end of the second infrared signal transmitter; the control of the depression angle is achieved by adjusting the first transmitting end of the first infrared signal transmitter.

To improve the ability of the light signal receiver to receive the infrared signal, the first signal transmitting hole 1031 and the second signal transmitting hole 1032 may be bar-shaped through holes extending from the first signal transmitting hole 1031 to the second signal transmitting hole 1032, and the radian of the bar-shaped through holes may be matched with the state when the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 are fastened.
In this embodiment, the first infrared signal transmitter 301 corresponds to the first signal transmitting hole 1031; the emitting end of the second infrared emitter 302 faces the direction in which the second signal emitting hole 1032 approaches the top of the second housing 102, that is, an elevation angle is formed between the infrared signal line emitted by the second emitting end 302 and the central axis of the second signal emitting hole, and the elevation angle may be in a range of 5 degrees to 85 degrees, that is, an angle formed by the infrared signals emitted by the two infrared signal emitters is smaller than 90 degrees, which may be specifically determined in combination with the installation requirement of the lamp.
In this embodiment, by controlling the installation angles of the first infrared signal emitter 301 and the second infrared signal emitter 302, a larger coverage area can be achieved, for example: when the lamp control switch is arranged on a wall surface or a mounting surface without light transmittance, the coverage range can reach 180 degrees by the cooperation of the two infrared signal transmitters; when controlled by hand, or mounted on a light transmissive mounting surface, the cooperation of the two infrared signal transmitters allows coverage of up to 360 degrees.
As shown in fig. 1, to avoid dust or other foreign objects falling onto the infrared signal emitter 300, which may cause interference to the infrared light emitted by the infrared signal emitter 300, the embodiment may further include: the light guide cover 500 is installed to be matched with the signal emitting hole, and the light guide cover 500 has a transmittance capable of transmitting the infrared signal. In this embodiment, the light guide cover 500 may be made of a material having better transmittance, for example: acrylic, and the like.
