Description

M248139 V. Creation Instructions α) [New-type technology This creation is related to a device that does not use screws. [Previous technology] In the past ten years, the progress and continuous development of the 8 0 86, 80 2 86 Pentium Π, Penti and the home appliance industry have seen continuous progress. In the case of home appliances, for example, a TV set needs to control the home appliances and regulate the operation of the air conditioner, and to control this. The personal computer of the personal computer no longer simply performs audio playback and other functions. It also seems to have a remote control. Fang Xizhi knows that the remote control is a battery holder and a signal shell, and the circuit board has a surface of the circuit board. This field is a thin remote control, and in particular, it relates to a thin remote control information that can be adapted to be stored in a PCMCIA slot Booming at home, 80386 > um!! With the information equipment, the location of the user, the temperature of the air conditioner. The development of home appliances is also facing the needs of the Archives Department Buddha. It is caused by a housing electronics industry due to the semiconductor exhibition, especially personal 8 0 4 8 6 —Pentium 4 and Pentium 4, to the audio equipment in the function of household appliances, the distance from the user, or the user, such as turntable power In order to enable the invention of the remote control to work in a multifunctional direction, it is often combined with acousto-optic appliances and a circuit board emitter. The circuit board has multiple key contacts, and multiple keys correspond to multiple keys. The invention of the contact and the computer CPU of the process from early to Pentium, in terms of other related resources, and speed, also said that due to some remote or high feelings, the use of TV video users often reached far away due to the response. . Research and development, so that both have audio, video In order to facilitate the control of multiple keys, one is fixed to the outside The key is fixed to the. In addition, the signal

12101twf.ptd Page 5 M248139 V. Creation instructions (2) The transmitter is also arranged in the housing, usually an infrared transmitter, which is used to receive the signal from the circuit board and send out an infrared signal, so that the object to be controlled at the far end is controlled. After receiving this infrared signal, it can act according to the key command input by the user. Because of the structural design of the conventional remote control, it is often necessary to fix the circuit board and the housing with a screw lock on the housing. Because the design of the screw lock includes a screw head, a thread itself, and a screw hole seat, Under the limitation of the space for the screw lock, the appearance has a certain thickness, which makes it difficult to further reduce the thickness of the remote control. In addition, after the user uses the remote control, it is necessary to consider the storage problem of the remote control. Because the remote control is known to have a certain thickness, most of them are designed to accommodate a remote control storage base which is not the same as the remote control. However, as the development of the remote control becomes more and more thin, it becomes relatively difficult to store the thin remote control at this time. Since most users easily forget the place of the remote control accidentally, Finding a remote control will be relatively difficult. [New content] In view of this, the purpose of this creation is to provide a thin remote control, especially a thin remote control that can be stored in a PCMCIA slot, so that users can conveniently store the thin remote control in the PCMCIA slot. This PCMCIA slot can be configured in a laptop. Another purpose of this creation is to provide a thin remote control whose structure is a fixing method that does not require screw locking. This fixing method can save the space of the screw head, the screw itself and the screw hole seat, and can make the thickness of the thin remote control
