Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improved portable remote control unit.
- Known remote control units are used for the most varied apparatus requiring remote control, such as actuators for gates, alarms, accessories for the house and garden, etc.
- a portable remote control unit generally comprises a plastic casing internally housing the electronic circuit and its powering battery.
- the casing is formed as two half-casings openable to provide access to its interior for periodic battery replacement.
- the battery is housed in a separate compartment of the casing, accessible from the outside via a removable door.
- two elastic blades are provided in this compartment to establish electrical connection between the battery and the electronic circuit.
- a drawback of this solution is that the electrical contact between the battery and blades is often a cause of malfunction, both because of possible surface oxidation of the blades and because of uncertain mechanical connection between these and the battery.
- Another drawback is that the periodic opening of the battery housing compartment results over time in an alteration in the mechanical closure system, whether this consists of snap-engagable hooks, which can wear or break with time, or of screws which over the course of time can wear the plastic threaded seat in which they engage.
- Another drawback is that the state of charge of the battery is not usually indicated, meaning that the user may be unable to use the remote control unit because of a dead battery.
- Another drawback is that in some cases the battery has to be replaced by a technical expert, with the resultant cost sometimes exceeding the cost of the remote control unit.
- Another drawback is that the battery replacement requires disposal of the spent battery, with possible difficulty to the user.
- a further drawback is that as the casing is of opening type, it is difficult to make it waterproof.
- the improved remote control unit of the invention comprises a hermetically sealed plastic casing 2 housing in its interior an electronic circuit 4 and a rechargeable battery 6.
- One or more pushbuttons are applied to a wall of the casing.
- An element 10 with one or more photovoltaic cells is also applied to the casing 2, to charge the battery via a voltage regulator 12.
- connections between the various parts are preferably made by welding.
- the operation of the remote control unit of the invention is apparent from the drawings.
- the photovoltaic cell element 10 when exposed to the light generates an electrical voltage which via the voltage regulator 12 powers the electronic circuit 4 and charges the battery 6.
- the user operates the chosen pushbutton 6 which controls the electronic circuit 4, to be powered either by the battery 6 or directly by the photovoltaic cell element 10 if the battery is discharged.
