[0022] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention is described in more detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that when an element is described as "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element, or there can be one or more centered elements therebetween. When an element is described as "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element, or there can be one or more centered elements therebetween. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in this specification are for illustrative purposes only.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs. The terms used in this specification and in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, they are schematic structural diagrams of different states of an embodiment of the remote controller 10 of the present invention.

[0025] The remote controller 10 includes: a housing 100 and a handle mechanism 200 and an antenna mechanism 300 both disposed on the housing 100. There are two handle mechanisms 200, which are used for users to hold. They are rotatably disposed on the housing 100 and have a stowed state and a use state. In the stowed state, the handle of the handle mechanism 200 rotates into the housing 100, and in the use state, the handle extends out of the housing 100 for users to hold. There are two antenna mechanisms 300, which are both rotatably disposed on the housing 100 and have a stowed state and a use state. In the use state, the antenna of the antenna mechanism 300 stands up relative to the housing 100 for receiving and sending signals. In the stowed state, the antenna does not protrude from the main surface of the housing 100 for easy storage. Among them, at least two of the antenna mechanism 300 and the handle mechanism 200 are coupled so that the coupled mechanisms change their states at the same time, that is, the coupled mechanisms change from the use state to the stowed state at the same time, or change from the stowed state to the use state at the same time.

[0026] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, there are two antenna mechanisms 300 , and in other embodiments, there may be other numbers of antenna mechanisms 300 , such as one or three.

[0027] When using the remote controller 10, the handle mechanism 200 and / or the antenna mechanism 300 are rotated to change from the retracted state to the use state, or from the use state to the retracted state. At this time, the mechanism coupled with the rotating mechanism changes state simultaneously with the rotating mechanism. Since multiple mechanisms are coupled to each other, the states of the handle and the antenna can be quickly changed, making the use more convenient.

[0028] The handle mechanism 200 and the antenna mechanism 300 have a variety of coupling settings. For example, two antenna mechanisms 300 are coupled, or two handle mechanisms 200 are coupled. For another example, two antenna mechanisms 300 are coupled with two handle mechanisms 200 respectively. For another example, two antenna mechanisms 300 are coupled with two handle mechanisms 200 respectively. In this case, the two handle mechanisms 200 or the two antenna mechanisms 300 are coupled with each other so that four mechanisms are coupled at the same time. For another example, two handle mechanisms 200 are coupled, and both antenna mechanisms 300 are coupled with one of the handle mechanisms 200 so that four mechanisms are coupled at the same time; or two antenna mechanisms 300 are coupled, and both handle mechanisms 200 are coupled with one of the antenna mechanisms 300 so that four mechanisms are coupled at the same time. For another example, there is one antenna mechanism 300, which is coupled with one of the handle mechanisms 200. The two handle mechanisms 200 can be coupled with each other or rotated separately.

[0029] Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, two handle mechanisms 200 are coupled and respectively coupled with the antenna mechanisms 300 on the same side thereof. Specifically, the two handle mechanisms 200 are respectively arranged corresponding to the two antenna mechanisms 300, one handle mechanism 200 and the antenna mechanism 300 are arranged corresponding to the left hand direction of the user, and the two are correspondingly coupled, and the other handle mechanism 200 and the antenna mechanism 300 are arranged corresponding to the right hand direction of the user, and the two are correspondingly coupled, and the two handle mechanisms 200 are coupled, so that when one handle mechanism 200 is rotated, the other handle mechanism 200 and the two antenna mechanisms 300 are rotated with it, thereby changing the states of the four mechanisms at the same time.

[0030] Please also read Figure 3 , which is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of an embodiment of a remote controller 10.

[0031] The handle mechanism 200 includes a handle transmission member 210 and a handle 220 connected to each other, and the antenna mechanism 300 includes an antenna transmission member 310 and an antenna 320 connected to each other, and the transmission members of the coupled mechanism are coupled to each other. The antenna 320 is located outside the housing 100, and each transmission mechanism is located inside the housing 100. The transmission mechanism can be a transmission structure such as a gear, a belt, or a pulley.

[0032] In this embodiment, the handle transmission member 210 and the antenna transmission member 310 are gears. Specifically, the handle transmission member 210 includes a spur gear 211 and a first bevel gear 212 disposed on the spur gear 211, wherein the spur gear 211 and / or the first bevel gear 212 are connected to the handle 220, and when the handle 220 rotates, the spur gear 211 and the first bevel gear 212 rotate synchronously with the handle 220; the antenna transmission member 310 includes a second bevel gear meshing with the first bevel gear 212, and the antenna 320 is connected to the second bevel gear and changes state with the second bevel gear.

[0033] In one embodiment, the remote controller 10 further includes a motor 400 disposed on the housing 100, and the motor 400 is connected to the handle mechanism 200 or the antenna mechanism 300 to drive the coupled mechanisms to change their states. One motor 400 is disposed for each set of coupled mechanisms. For example, Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, when there are two handle mechanisms 200 and two antenna mechanisms 300 and they are coupled to each other, the motor 400 is connected to one of the handle mechanisms 200 to drive the handle mechanism 200 to rotate, thereby driving the four mechanisms to rotate at the same time. For another example, the two handle mechanisms 200 are respectively coupled to the two antenna mechanisms 300, but the two handle mechanisms 200 are not coupled to each other. In this case, there are two motors 400, which are respectively connected to the two sets of coupled antenna mechanisms 300 or handle mechanisms 200. In this embodiment, the motor 400 is a servo motor 400. In other embodiments, the motor 400 may also be other types of motors 400.

[0034] The remote controller 10 with the motor 400 makes the retraction and extension of the handle 220 and the antenna 320 more convenient and controllable, and can extend the life of the remote controller 10 compared to manual control.

[0035] In one embodiment, the use state of the handle mechanism 200 and / or the antenna mechanism 300 has multiple preset positions, and the motor 400 is used to drive the handle mechanism 200 and / or the antenna mechanism 300 to the preset position. For example, the antenna mechanism 300 has three preset positions, which are perpendicular to the housing 100, the angle between the housing 100 and the housing 100 is 60 degrees, and 120 degrees. The use state of the handle mechanism 200 and / or the antenna mechanism 300 has multiple preset positions, which makes the use of the remote control 10 more flexible.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the remote controller 20 further includes an aircraft control mechanism 500 disposed on the housing 100 , and the aircraft control mechanism 500 is used to control the flight of the aircraft.
