As shown in fig. 1 to 6, the housing of the remote controller includes a body 10, an inner cover 20, and an outer cover 30, wherein the body 10 includes a front case 11 and a rear case 12, and the front case 11 and the rear case 12 are fixedly connected to each other to form a cavity for accommodating an electronic device.
More specifically, as shown in fig. 1 to 3 and 6, the front case 11 has a front surface 111 and a side surface 112 extending from a peripheral edge of the front surface 111 and extending circumferentially around the front surface 111, the front surface 111 forms a functional surface of the remote controller provided with a plurality of keys, the side surface 112 may also be provided with partial keys or switches, and a rear edge 113 of the side surface 112 opposite to the front surface 111 is provided with a plurality of first snaps 114 distributed at a circumferential interval so as to fixedly connect the rear edge 113 of the side surface 112 with a peripheral edge 122 of the rear case 12 by snap-fitting. Thus, the front surface 111 and the side surfaces 112 of the front case 11 and the rear surface 121 of the rear case 12 together form the outer surface of the body 10, and the body 10 is provided with a battery compartment 124 recessed inward from the rear surface 121 of the rear case 12 for placing a battery. The outer contour shape of the inner lid 20 is adapted to the opening shape of the battery compartment 124 for directly closing the battery compartment 124 from the outside (i.e., rear side) of the body 10.
The outer cap 30 covers the inner cap 20 from the outside (i.e., rear side) of the body 10 and is detachably coupled with the body 10. More specifically, as shown in fig. 2 to 5, the outer cover 30 has an outer surface 31 directed outwardly and an inner surface 32 directed inwardly, and the outer cover 30 is provided with a plurality of catching portions 34 protruding from the inner surface 32 thereof, each of the catching portions 34 having, for example, a substantially L-shape. That is, each of the catching portions 34 has a first extending portion 341 extending substantially perpendicularly from the inner surface 32 of the outer cap 30 and a second extending portion 342 extending substantially perpendicularly from a free end portion of the first extending portion 341. Correspondingly, the rear surface 121 of the rear case 12 is provided with a plurality of engaging holes 123 that are mated with these engaging portions 34. When the outer cap 30 is required to be mounted, it is only necessary to align and insert each of the catching portions 34 into the corresponding catching hole 123, and then slide the outer cap 30 in a direction parallel to the rear surface 121 of the rear case 12 by means of the second extension portion 342 of the catching portion 34 until the outer cap 30 forms a stable catching engagement with the body 10. Therefore, the mounting and dismounting of the outer cap 30 on the body 10 can be achieved only by a simple sliding manner.
It will be appreciated that the inner contour of the outer cover 30 substantially conforms to the rear contour of the body 10, and that the outer cover 30 has an overall shape that protrudes rearward. Accordingly, when the outer cap 30 is mounted to the rear of the body 10, the inside of the outer cap 30 constitutes an accommodating space to accommodate the rear of the body 10 and the inner cap 20. It is further understood that the specific number and positions of the clamping portions 34 and the corresponding clamping holes 123 are not limited in the present utility model, and may be determined according to the actual needs of the product.
Further, according to the present utility model, when the outer cover 30 is mounted to the rear of the body 10, the peripheral edge 33 of the outer cover 30 abuts the outer surface of the body 10 and smoothly transitions with the outer surface of the body 10. In the illustrated embodiment, when the outer cover 30 is mounted to the rear of the body 10, the peripheral edge 33 of the outer cover 30 abuts the rear edge 113 of the side surface 112 and smoothly transitions with the rear edge 113 of the side surface 112. The "smooth transition" herein means that when the peripheral edge 33 of the outer cap 30 abuts against the outer surface of the body 10, the outer surface of the body 10 and the outer surface 31 of the outer cap 30 form together a step-free continuous surface at the position of the peripheral edge 33, and the continuous surface may be a plane or a curved surface. That is, the outer surface 31 of the outer cover 30 may be considered as an extension of the outer surface of the body 10 from the location of the peripheral edge 33. Further, it is understood that "abutting" herein means that the peripheral edge 33 of the outer cover 30 is adjacent and abuts against the outer surface of the body 10, but since the outer cover 30 and the body 10 are different components, "abutting" does not mean that there is absolutely no gap between the peripheral edge 33 of the outer cover 30 and the outer surface of the body 10 from the external view.
Therefore, in such a remote controller case, the inner lid 20 directly closes the battery compartment 124, the outer lid 30 covers the inner lid 20 and substantially conforms to the outer contour of the rear portion of the body 10, and such a configuration not only provides excellent protection for the battery and the inner lid 20, improves sealing waterproof performance, but also ensures uniformity of the overall structural configuration of the remote controller, and provides excellent grip feeling for the user.
The present utility model is not limited to the mounting manner of the inner cap 20. In the illustrated embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, one side edge of the inner cap 20 is provided with a second snap 21 so as to detachably connect the inner cap 20 with the body 10 by snap-fit and close the battery compartment 124. According to another embodiment variant, the inner cover 20 can abut the body 10 by the outer cover 30 to close the battery compartment 124. That is, the inner cap 20 may be previously placed at the opening position of the battery compartment 124, and then the outer cap 30 is mounted to the body 10 such that the inner cap 20 abuts against the body 10 and closes the battery compartment 124 by the supporting effect of the outer cap 30 on the inner cap 20.
In addition, the remote control may be provided with a wall-mounted bracket 40, for example, for placing the housing when the remote control is not in use. The housing is preferably removably attached to the support 40 by a magnetic attraction fit. More specifically, as shown in fig. 4 to 6, the outer cover 30 is provided with a flat portion 35 positioned at a central position thereof, and the inner surface 32 of the outer cover 30 is provided with at least one magnet groove 36 positioned at the flat portion 35, for example, three magnet grooves 36 are shown, and the first magnet is arranged in these magnet grooves 36. Correspondingly, the bracket 40 is provided with a flat connection portion 41 and a second magnet disposed at the rear surface of the connection portion 41, the first magnet and the second magnet being attracted to each other so that the flat portion 35 of the outer cover 30 can be magnetically attracted to the connection portion 41 of the bracket 40.
