When the user needs to remotely control the drone, the direct communication module needs to be replaced with an indirect communication module. The switching between the direct communication module and the indirect communication module can be achieved by circuit control.

[0088] Preferably, the first communication element 501 and the third communication element 504 are both direct communication modules, and the second communication element 502 is an indirect communication module. More preferably, the first communication element 501 is a software radio SDR communication module, the third communication element 504 is a WIFI communication module, and the second communication element 502 is a 4G network card.

[0089] One end of the protective cover 10 is hinged to the cover plate 8, and the other end is detachably connected to the bottom shell 1 through a buckle assembly. A communication interface is provided on the connecting circuit board 503, and the second communication component 502 is plugged into the communication interface. By providing a rotating protective cover 10 and cooperating with the buckle structure, it is easy to open and close the protective cover 10, and then to disassemble and assemble the second communication component 502. No special tools are required, and the operation is simple. The second communication component 502 is directly plugged into the communication interface, which can effectively reduce the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the second communication component 502.

[0090] The protective cover 10 includes a protective body 1001, on which a snap plate 1002 is arranged, one end of the snap plate 1002 is connected to the protective body 1001, and the other end is suspended, and an abutment protrusion 1011 is arranged on the outer wall of the bottom shell 1 at a position corresponding to the snap plate 1002, and the snap assembly includes a snap groove and a snap protrusion 1003 inserted into the snap groove, the snap protrusion 1003 is protrudingly arranged on the snap plate 1002, and the snap groove is recessed on the abutment protrusion 1011. The suspended snap plate 1002 has a certain elasticity. After the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1003 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove, the snap plate 1002 will always be pressed against the abutment protrusion 1011 under the elastic action of the snap plate 1002. When the protective cover 10 needs to be opened, it is only necessary to press the snap plate 1002 to disengage the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1003 from the snap-fit ​​groove. This method can effectively reduce the difficulty of fixing the protective cover 10 and improve the fixing stability of the protective cover 10.

[0091] In this embodiment, the engaging protrusion 1003 is adjacent to the suspended end of the engaging plate 1002 .

[0092] In other embodiments, the positions of the snap-fitting protrusion 1003 and the snap-fitting groove may be interchanged, that is, the snap-fitting protrusion 1003 is protrudingly arranged on the abutting protrusion 1011 , and the snap-fitting groove is provided on the snap plate 1002 .

[0093] Specifically, the protective body 1001 includes a protective plate 10011 and a first surrounding wall 10012 disposed at a peripheral portion of one side of the protective plate 10011. Two notches 10013 are disposed on the first surrounding wall 10012 at intervals. The notches 10013 extend to one end of the first surrounding wall 10012 away from the protective plate 10011. The portion between the two notches 10013 forms a snap plate 1002. This design reduces the difficulty of fixing the snap plate 1002 to the protective body 1001.

[0094] The communication interface faces the first surrounding wall 10012. This design enables the second communication component 502 to be plugged into the communication interface in a direction parallel to the outer wall of the bottom shell 1, thereby reducing the space occupied by the second communication component 502 in the thickness direction of the remote control, minimizing the size of the remote control in the thickness direction, and also reducing the size of the protective cover 10, thereby reducing material costs.

[0095] like Figures 10 to 12As shown, the heat dissipation assembly 9 also includes a heat dissipation fan 903, a mounting groove 9012 is provided on the first heat dissipation member 901 corresponding to the control main board 301, the heat dissipation fan 903 is installed on the side of the first heat dissipation member 901 away from the control main board 301 and facing the mounting groove 9012, and the housing is provided with an air inlet 106 and an air outlet 801 connected to the mounting groove 9012. By providing the heat dissipation fan 903, the control main board 301 and the first communication member 501 and the third communication member 504 in the remote controller can be effectively cooled, and the forced convection air is used for cooling, and the heat dissipation effect is good.

[0096] In this embodiment, the air inlet 106 is provided on the bottom shell 1 , and the air outlet 801 is provided on the cover plate 8 .

[0097] Preferably, the air inlet 106 and the air outlet 801 are respectively located on opposite sides of the protective cover 10. This design can use the protective cover 10 to effectively isolate the air inlet 106 and the air outlet 801, ensuring that the air before and after the heat exchange does not flow in series, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency, and can achieve isolation without setting up an additional baffle structure, effectively reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0098] Of course, in other embodiments, the air inlet 106 and the air exhaust 801 are not limited to being arranged on both sides of the protective cover 10, but can also be arranged at intervals on the same side of the protective cover 10, and the air inlet 106 and the air exhaust 801 can be effectively isolated by an additional partition structure.

[0099] In this embodiment, an air inlet channel 904 and an air exhaust channel 905 are provided on a side of the heat dissipation component 9 close to the cover plate 8. The air exhaust channel 905 is at least partially located on the second heat dissipation member 902. The two ends of the air inlet channel 904 are respectively connected to the air inlet hole 106 and the mounting groove 9012. The two ends of the air exhaust channel 905 are respectively connected to the air exhaust hole 801 and the mounting groove 9012. The air inlet channel 904 and the air exhaust channel 905 are arranged at intervals. By providing a channel structure, the path of the air heat exchange of the heat dissipation fan 903 can be extended to improve the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0100] The exhaust channel 905 includes a first sub-channel 9051 and a second sub-channel 9052. The first sub-channel 9051 is arranged on the first heat sink 901, and the second sub-channel 9052 is arranged on the second heat sink 902. The first sub-channel 9051 is connected to the second sub-channel 9052. The first heat sink 901 and the second heat sink 902 are both provided with components that need to be cooled (control mainboard 301, first communication component 501 and third communication component 504) at corresponding positions, and the second heat sink 902 is detachably connected to the first heat sink 901. Therefore, mutually connected sub-channels are provided on the two heat sinks to ensure the heat dissipation effect and heat dissipation coverage area.

[0101] Preferably, a plurality of exhaust channels 905 are arranged at intervals on the heat dissipation component 9, the number of exhaust holes 801 is consistent with the number of exhaust channels 905, and the exhaust holes 801 are connected to the exhaust channels 905 in a one-to-one correspondence. The more exhaust channels 905 there are, the larger the area of ​​the heat dissipation region covered by them is, and the better the heat dissipation effect is, and the one-to-one correspondence between the exhaust holes 801 and the exhaust channels 905 can accelerate the discharge of air after heat exchange.

[0102] In this embodiment, the first heat sink 901 and the second heat sink 902 are both made of metal with good heat dissipation effect.

[0103] The second heat sink 902 is fixed to the first heat sink 901 by screws. The screw fixing method can ensure the reliable connection between the first heat sink 901 and the second heat sink 902, and can also reduce the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the second heat sink 902.

[0104] The cover plate 8 is fixed to the bottom shell 1 by screws. The cover plate 8 includes an insertion portion 802 inserted into the second mounting hole 105, and a circle of abutment portions 803 are arranged in an annular manner on the outer periphery of the insertion portion 802. The abutment portions 803 are fixed to the outer wall of the bottom shell 1 by screws.

[0105] A cover groove 804 is provided on the insertion portion 802 of the cover plate 8, and the opening of the cover groove 804 faces a side away from the heat dissipation component 9. A circle of second surrounding wall 805 is provided in an annular protrusion on the abutting portion 803, and the inner wall of the protective cover 10 is tightly pressed against the outer wall of the second surrounding wall 805, that is, the outer wall of the second surrounding wall 805 is tightly pressed against the inner wall of the first surrounding wall 10012 of the protective cover 10.

[0106] The cover plate 8 is also made of metal with good heat dissipation effect.

[0107] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figures 14 to 20As shown, the antenna module 6 includes an antenna 601, a connector 602 and a locking member 604, wherein the connector 602 has a first end 6021 and a second end 6022 arranged opposite to each other, the first end 6021 is connected to the antenna 601, at least two first protrusions 6023 are annularly arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the connector 602, the first protrusion 6023 is adjacent to the second end 6022, a first abutting surface 60231 is arranged on a side of the first protrusion 6023 close to the antenna 601, the bottom shell 1 has a first side surface 107 and a second side surface 108 arranged opposite to each other, a first through hole 109 connecting the first side surface 107 and the second side surface 108 is opened through the bottom shell 1, the first end 6021 is located on the first side surface 107, and the second end 6022 passes through the first through hole 109 is located on the second side surface 108, and a second protrusion 1010 is provided on the second side surface 108 corresponding to the first protrusion 6023, and the second protrusion 1010 has a second abutting surface 10101. The locking member 604 is installed on the second side surface 108, and a second through hole 6041 is penetrated through the locking member 604. The hole wall of the second through hole 6041 is protrudingly provided with a third protrusion 6042 corresponding to the first protrusion 6023. The second protrusion 1010 is inserted between two adjacent third protrusions 6042, and the third protrusion 6042 has a third abutting surface 60421. The connecting member 602 can rotate around its own axis so that the first abutting surface 60231 selectively abuts against the second abutting surface 10101 or the third abutting surface 60421 to achieve position fixing. By setting a second protrusion 1010 and a locking piece 604 with a third protrusion 6042 on the bottom shell 1, the rotational position of the connecting piece 602 can be fixed. When the first protrusion 6023 on the connecting piece 602 is pressed against different protrusions, the connecting piece 602 can be fixed at a specified position, thereby ensuring that the antenna 601 is fixed at a specified position, thereby improving the stability of the antenna 601. Setting the second protrusion 1010 and the third protrusion 6042 on different components can reduce the difficulty of manufacturing and disassembly. During assembly, the connecting piece 602 can be fixed at a specified position by using the second protrusion 1010 and the third protrusion 6042 with staggered positions.

[0108] In this embodiment, the connecting member 602 includes a rotating body 6026, the cross-section of the rotating body 6026 is circular, and the corresponding first through hole 109 and second through hole 6041 are both circular holes. The rotating body 6026 is loosely matched with the first through hole 109 and the second through hole 6041. Two first protrusions 6023 are arranged at intervals on the outer periphery of the rotating body 6026, and the number of the second protrusion 1010 and the third protrusion 6042 are also two. The second protrusion 1010 can just fill the space between two adjacent third protrusions 6042. This setting allows the connecting member 602 to be fixed by rotating 90 degrees when rotating. Specifically, the antenna 601 has a storage position and a working position. When the first protrusion 6023 of the connecting member 602 abuts against the second protrusion 1010 of the bottom shell 1, the antenna 601 is located in the working position. When the connecting member 602 rotates along the first direction until the first protrusion 6023 abuts against the third protrusion 6042 of the locking member 604, the antenna 601 is located in the storage position.

[0109] Of course, it is not limited to setting two first bumps 6023, and three or more first bumps 6023 can also be set. In this case, the number of second bumps 1010 and third bumps 6042 is the same as that of the first bumps 6023, and the antenna 601 has more positions that can be fixed.

[0110] Further, the first abutting surface 60231 is a concave surface, and the second abutting surface 10101 and the third abutting surface 60421 are both convex surfaces that match the concave surface. The cooperation between the concave surface and the convex surface can achieve the position locking of the connecting member 602. In other embodiments, the first abutting surface 60231 can also be a convex surface, and the second abutting surface 10101 and the third abutting surface 60421 can both be concave surfaces that match the convex surface.

[0111] The outer peripheral wall of the connecting member 602 is protruded to be provided with a limiting protruding ring 6024, and an elastic member is provided between the limiting protruding ring 6024 and the first side surface 107 of the bottom shell 1, and the elastic member always has a movement tendency to drive the connecting member 602 to move toward the side away from the locking member 604. By providing the elastic member, a pulling force can be given to the connecting member 602, so that the first protrusion 6023 can resist the second protrusion 1010 or the third protrusion 6042 after rotating to a specified position or during the rotation process, thereby increasing the fixing effect and preventing the antenna 601 from shaking during the rotation process.

[0112] The elastic member is an elastic sealing ring 603, and the elastic sealing ring 603 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting member 602. By setting the elastic member as the elastic sealing ring 603, not only a pre-tightening force can be provided for the connecting member 602, but also the connecting member 602 can be sealed to prevent water from reaching the second side surface 108 of the bottom shell 1 (and the interior of the bottom shell 1) through the gap between the connecting member 602 and the bottom shell 1, thereby enhancing the sealing effect.

[0113] Specifically, the first side surface 107 is concavely provided with a limiting groove 1012, which surrounds the periphery of the first through hole 109 and is in communication with the first through hole 109, and the elastic sealing ring 603 is disposed in the limiting groove 1012. By providing the limiting groove 1012, the position of the elastic sealing ring 603 can be limited to prevent the elastic sealing ring 603 from moving during the rotation of the connecting member 602 and causing sealing failure. In addition, the setting of the limiting groove 1012 can also accommodate more elastic sealing rings 603, thereby increasing the sealing effect.

[0114] The elastic sealing ring 603 includes an annular sealing body 6031, which is sandwiched between the end surface of the limiting convex ring 6024 and the groove wall of the limiting groove 1012. The inner side wall of the sealing body 6031 extends toward the center thereof with a stop portion 6032, and the stop portion 6032 has a stop surface 60321 that abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the connecting member 602. By providing the stop portion 6032, a stop can be formed when the connecting member 602 rotates, and the stop surface 60321 forms a damping for the rotation of the connecting member 602, thereby improving the stability of the connecting member 602 during rotation.

[0115] Specifically, the stop portion 6032 includes a first portion extending radially along the sealing body 6031 and a second portion connected to the first portion at an angle, the second portion extending toward the axial direction of the sealing body 6031, and the stop surface 60321 is disposed on the second portion. This design allows the stop surface 60321 to fit with the outer side wall of the connector 602 over a larger area, resulting in a better damping effect.

[0116] Preferably, two groups of stopper components are provided on the inner side wall of the sealing body 6031, and the two groups of stopper components are symmetrically arranged along the center of the sealing body 6031, and each group of stopper components includes a plurality of stopper parts 6032 arranged at intervals. This design can form a avoidance groove for avoiding the first protrusion 6023 on the connecting member 602 between the two groups of stopper components, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the connecting member 602 and the elastic sealing ring 603. Of course, the number of stopper components provided in the sealing body 6031 is not limited to two groups, and can also be provided according to the number of the first protrusions 6023, so as to ensure that each first protrusion 6023 has a corresponding avoidance groove through which it can pass.

[0117] In other embodiments, the inner side wall of the sealing body 6031 is provided with a plurality of stop portions 6032, and the plurality of stop portions 6032 are arranged at intervals along the central annular shape of the sealing body 6031. This design can ensure that the outer periphery of the connecting member 602 (i.e., the rotating body 6026) forms a fully wrapped stop portion 6032, thereby maximizing the damping effect.

[0118] In this embodiment, the elastic sealing ring 603 is made of wear-resistant rubber or silicone.

[0119] The third abutting surface 60421 is provided with a blocking portion 6043 protruding therefrom, and the blocking portion 6043 is located at one end of the third protrusion 6042. By providing the blocking portion 6043, the connecting member 602 can be prevented from rotating excessively, ensuring that the connecting member 602 can only rotate back and forth at a set angle (such as 90 degrees), preventing the antenna 601 from colliding with other components on the bottom case 1 during the rotation process, and reducing the probability of damage to the antenna 601.

[0120] An end surface of the first protrusion 6023 of the connecting member 602 away from the first abutting surface 60231 is flush with the end surface of the rotating body 6026 , that is, flush with the end surface of the second end 6022 of the connecting member 602 .

[0121] The locking member 604 includes a locking body 6044, a second through hole 6041 is provided on the locking body 6044, and at least one second mounting portion 6045 is protruded from the outer wall of the locking body 6044, and the second mounting portion 6045 is connected to the bottom shell 1 through a fixing screw. The detachable connection method facilitates the assembly of the locking member 604 and the bottom shell 1, and effectively reduces the difficulty of assembly. In addition, the locking member 604 is not limited to being connected to the bottom shell 1 by fixing screws, and can also be connected to the bottom shell 1 by a snap assembly or gluing method.

[0122] Specifically, two second mounting portions 6045 are provided in an annular shape along the center of the second through hole 6041 on the outer side wall of the locking body 6044. The two second mounting portions 6045 can stably fix the locking body 6044 on the bottom shell 1. In other embodiments, three or more second mounting portions 6045 can also be provided.

[0123] The connecting piece 602 has a wire hole 6025 extending through it along its axial direction. The antenna 601 includes an antenna housing 6011 and an antenna body 6012 disposed in the antenna housing 6011. The wire hole 6025 is connected to the interior of the antenna housing 6011. The antenna body 6012 is connected to a wire, which passes through the wire hole 6025 and is connected to the communication module 5 of the remote control.

[0124] One end of the connector 602 is pivotally connected to the antenna 601, and the other end is suspended, and the axis of the pivot axis of the antenna 601 is perpendicular to the central axis of the connector 602. This arrangement allows the antenna 601 to be adjusted in space to accommodate signal reception at different positions of the antenna 601.

[0125] The outer wall of the bottom shell 1 is recessed with a receiving groove, and the antenna 601 can be rotated into the receiving groove for storage.
