Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field This invention has a learning function that stores modulated waves such as infrared rays from other remote control devices and transmits the modulated waves such as infrared rays from the transmitter. This invention relates to a remote control device.

(b) Prior Art When storing modulated waves such as infrared rays from another remote control device in a remote control device with a learning function, as shown in FIG. A receiving section 32 is provided together with the receiving section 32, and a receiving section 35 of another remote control device 34 is provided in this receiving section 32.
were facing each other. As a result, the modulated wave sent from another remote control device 34 is assigned to a specific key in the learning function remote control device 31 and stored.

However, in general, a transmitter is provided on the upper side of the remote control device, and the remote control device with learning function 3
1, in order to make the transmitting section 35 of another remote control device 34 face the receiving section 32 provided on the same surface as the transmitting section 33, the learning function equipped remote control device 31
The vertical positions of the remote control device 34 and the other remote control device 34 are reversed. Therefore, when one of the remote control devices is placed in a position suitable for operator operation, the remaining remote control devices are placed upside down.
There was a problem that made the operation difficult. Therefore, the fourth
As shown in the figure, a transmitting section 43 and a receiving section 42 are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the remote control device 41 with a learning function, and another remote control device 44 is located below the remote control device 41 with a learning function. Remote control device 41 with a learning function
It is conceivable that the receiving section 42 is opposed to the receiving section 42 of the receiver. With such a configuration, the remote control device with learning function 44 and another remote control device 44 are arranged in the same vertical direction, and the transmitting section of the other remote control device is made to face the receiving section 42 of the remote control device with learning function. This allows both remote control devices to be oriented in the same vertical direction, making it easier for the operator to operate them.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention However, in general, remote control devices are formed to be long in the vertical direction in consideration of ease of grip, and the above-mentioned conventional remote control device with learning function and another remote control device are If they were lined up in a row, the operator would have to move his/her hand significantly in the vertical direction to operate them, which had the disadvantage of complicating the work. In addition, humans have a wide field of vision from side to side, and in order to check two remote controllers arranged one above the other, the line of sight has to move a lot, making it difficult to operate the remote control devices.

The purpose of this invention is to enable the operator to receive modulated waves such as infrared light emitted from another remote control device located on the side of the main unit, and to enable the operator to receive modulated waves such as infrared light transmitted from another remote control device located on the side of the main body. This learning system can memorize modulated waves such as infrared light, and can improve operability for the operator by arranging two remote control devices horizontally, taking into account the range of the human visual field. An object of the present invention is to provide a remote control device with functions.

(d) Means for solving the problem In the remote control device with a learning function of this invention, a receiving means for receiving modulated waves such as infrared light transmitted from another remote control device can be freely inserted and removed downward into the upper part of the side of the main body. It is characterized by the fact that it is provided in

Alternatively, the receiving means may be fixed to the upper part of the side surface of the main body, and a reflecting part that can be freely put in and taken out downward at a position facing the receiving part on the upper part of the side face of the main body, and that reflects modulated waves such as infrared light. can.

(e) Effect In this invention, when the receiving means is exposed downward from the upper side of the main body, the receiving means is located at the upper side of the main body. When another remote control device is placed on the side of the main body in this state, the receiving means faces the transmitting section provided on the top surface of the other remote control device located on the side of the main body, and the receiving means faces the transmitter provided on the top surface of the other remote control device located on the side of the main body, and receives modulated waves such as infrared light transmitted by the unit.
Therefore, storage of modulated waves such as infrared light is performed with other remote control devices arranged horizontally. Generally, remote control devices are formed in a vertically elongated shape, and by arranging two remote control devices horizontally, the interval between the keys of the two remote control devices becomes shorter than when the two remote control devices are arranged vertically.

In addition, if the reflective part is exposed downward from the top of the side of the main unit, modulated waves such as infrared light sent out from another remote control device located on the side of the main unit will be reflected by the reflective part, received by the designated receiving means.

(f) Embodiment FIG. 1 is a plan view showing the usage state of a remote control device with a learning function which is an embodiment of the invention according to claim 1.

A flap 2 is provided at the upper part of the right side of the main body of the remote control device 1 with a learning function and can be opened and closed. A receiving device 3 is attached to the inner surface of the flap 2. Therefore, when the flap 2 is exposed from the side, the receiving device 3 is positioned downward at the upper side of the main body. This receiving device 3 receives PCM-modulated infrared light transmitted from another remote control device. Therefore, by positioning another remote control device 11 on the right side of the remote control device 1 with learning function,
The receiving section 3 faces a transmitting section 12 provided on the top surface of another remote control device 11, and can receive the content of the infrared light transmitted from the transmitting section 12.
The remote control device 1 with a learning function assigns and stores the content of the infrared light received by the receiving unit 3 to a specific key,
Next, when a specific key is operated, the infrared light is transmitted from the transmitter 4 provided on the top surface.

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the state in which the embodiment according to the second aspect of the invention is used.

A flap 22 is provided on the upper right side of the remote control device 21 with a learning function and can be opened and closed using one end as a fulcrum. The inner surface of the flap 22 is a mirror surface 23 that reflects PCM-modulated infrared light, and when the flap 22 is opened, the reflective surface 23 is exposed downward on the side of the main body. Further, a receiving section 24 is fixed at a position facing the reflective surface 23 on the upper right side of the remote control device 21 with a learning function. Therefore, when the flap 22 is opened, the receiving section 24 is exposed downward through the reflecting surface 23 at the upper side of the main body. As a result, the infrared light emitted from the transmitter 12 provided on the top surface of another remote control device 21 located on the right side of the remote control device 21 with learning function is reflected by the reflective surface 23, and the learning function is activated. It is received by the receiving section 24 of the attached remote control device 21.

Note that in any of the embodiments, the modulated wave transmitted by the remote control device is not limited to PCM-modulated infrared light. In this case, the reflective section provided in the remote control device according to the second aspect of the invention is not limited to a mirror surface.

(g) Effects of the invention According to this invention, modulated waves such as infrared light transmitted from another remote control device located on the side of the main body can be easily received, and modulated waves transmitted from another remote control device can be easily received. When storing modulated waves such as infrared light, the main body and another remote control device can be operated in a horizontally arranged state. This makes it possible to align the vertical directions of each remote control device, shorten the distance from the keys on one remote control device to the keys on the other remote control device, and reduce the range of movement of the operator's hand to improve operability. can be improved. Furthermore, since the human field of view is wide horizontally, the amount of movement of the field of view during confirmation can be reduced, which has the advantage of improving visibility.
