Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Technical Field> The present invention relates to a wireless remote control device used in an air conditioner, and particularly to the configuration of an all-clear switch that must be operated when replacing batteries.

<Prior art> Wireless remote control devices used in air conditioners, etc. generally contain batteries to supply power, but when replacing the battery in this type of wireless remote control device, the memory contents of the internal microcomputer must be changed. This was done by operating an all-clear switch to prevent the microcontroller from malfunctioning.

However, with conventional wireless remote controllers, the user must press the all-clear switch operation part each time the battery is replaced, which is very time-consuming and there is a risk of forgetting to operate it.

<Purpose> The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a wireless remote control that can always send an all-clear switch signal without bothering the user when replacing batteries.

<Example> Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 is a rear perspective view of the embodiment of the present invention, Figures 2 and 3 are
The figure is a sectional view taken along the line A-A in FIG. A battery is housed in the housing section 2 and supplies power to the electric circuit inside the main body; 4 is a lid that closes off the battery housing section 2; and 5 is a lid disposed around the periphery of the battery housing section 2 and can be pressed to close the battery housing section 2. This is the operation part of the all clear switch that erases the memory contents of the microcomputer in the circuit.

The main body 1 is provided with operation switches (not shown) for issuing various commands on the top side, and houses an electric circuit including a microcomputer that outputs control signals based on the operation of the switches.

A groove (not shown) for sliding and fitting the lid 4 is provided on the upper periphery of the battery storage section 2, and the lid 4 can be inserted from the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. As a result, the protrusion provided on the lid 4 side fits into the groove, and the lid 4 is attached to the storage section 2.

The lid 4 is attached to the storage section 2 as described above to hide and close the storage section 2 and make the back surface of the main body 1 flush. A formed protrusion 4a is provided, and a push button 6 is provided on the back surface of the protrusion 4a to press the operation part 5 of the all clear switch when the lid 4 is attached.
is provided integrally with the lid 4 in a protruding manner.

The operation part 5 of the all clear switch is provided at a position corresponding to the protrusion 4 when the lid 4 is attached to the storage part 2, and when the lid 4 is attached, the upper part of the operation part 5 is pressed. Button 6 is designed to pass through.

To explain the operation of the wireless remote control device with the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 1, when replacing the battery 3, remove the lid 4 and close the lid 4 again. Insert into 2. At this time, as shown in Figure 2, the lid 4
A push button 6 provided on the back side presses the operating section 5 of the all clear switch 4, and this pressing operation erases the contents stored in the internal microcomputer. Third
As shown in the figure, when the lid 4 is completely fitted, the push button 5 returns to its original position.

In this way, when replacing the battery 3, the all clear button 5 is always operated and the contents of the memory of the microcomputer are erased, so if you forget to operate the all clear button when replacing the battery and suddenly the cooling operation starts,
It is possible to prevent an undesired operation, such as starting a heating operation, from being commanded.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the operating section 5 of the all-clear switch is operated by sliding the lid 4 and being pressed, but the operation section 5 is not limited to this, and may be provided at a position where it is operated by the opening/closing operation of the lid 4. The switch may be of any form as long as it is the same.

<Effects> According to the present invention, the operation part of the all clear switch is provided at a position where it is operated by opening and closing the lid provided in the battery compartment.
The operation of the all-clear switch, which must be performed when replacing the battery, can be performed in conjunction with the opening and closing operation of the lid, which must be performed when replacing the battery, making the operation easy and preventing forgetting to operate it, which is very convenient.
