The processing unit can be a general-purpose processor, a digital signal processor (DSP), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), a single-chip microcomputer, an ARM (Acorn RISC Machine), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gates or transistor logic, discrete hardware components, or any combination thereof. The processing unit generates a remote control instruction according to the moving position of the magnetic element 60 sensed by the magnetic sensor 702, and the remote controller 400 sends the remote control instruction to a motorized device to be remotely controlled, so that the motorized device moves in a direction corresponding to the parallel moving direction of the operating lever assembly 20. The motorized device can be an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a model airplane, an electric toy, or the like.

[0076] When the lever body 220 abuts against the inner wall of the first through hole 110 and the second mounting seat 43, and the circular sliding part 222 abuts against the annular limiting part 112, the parallel movement of the operating lever assembly 20 along the first axis stops. It can be understood that in some other embodiments, only the inner wall of the first through hole 110 or the second mounting seat 43 can be selected to abut against the lever body 220, or only the circular sliding part 222 can be selected to abut against the annular limiting part 112, so that the parallel movement of the operating lever assembly 20 along the first axis stops.

[0077] When the pushing force of the operating lever assembly 20 disappears, the compressed first elastic element 32 restores to its original state, pushes the first movable block 31 to move along the first axis, so that the operating lever assembly 20 drives the magnetic element 60 to reset to its initial position.

[0078] Similarly, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10The operation lever assembly 20 can be pushed to move parallelly relative to the housing 10 along the second axis. One of the second movable blocks 41 is pushed by the lever body 220, so that the second elastic element 42 connected with the pushed second movable block 41 is compressed. The magnetic element 60 is driven to move parallelly along the second axis in the plane from its initial position. The magnetic sensor 702 senses the magnetic field change of the magnetic element 60, and obtains the moving position of the magnetic element 60 along the second axis. The processing unit generates remote control instructions according to the moving position of the magnetic element 60 obtained by the magnetic sensor 702, and the remote controller 400 sends the remote control instructions to the motorized device to be remotely controlled, so that the motorized device moves in a direction corresponding to the parallel moving direction of the operation lever assembly 20.

[0079] When the lever body 220 abuts against the inner wall of the first through hole 110 and the first mounting seat 33, and the circular sliding part 222 abuts against the annular limiting part 112, the parallel moving of the operation lever assembly 20 along the second axis stops. It can be understood that in some other embodiments, only the inner wall of the first through hole 110 or the first mounting seat 33 abuts against the lever body 220, or only the circular sliding part 222 abuts against the annular limiting part 112, so that the parallel moving of the operation lever assembly 20 along the second axis stops.

[0080] When the pushing force of the operation lever assembly 20 disappears, the compressed second elastic element 42 restores to its original state, and pushes the second movable block 41 to move along the second axis, so that the operation lever assembly 20 drives the magnetic element 60 to reset to its initial position.

[0081] It can be understood that when the operation lever assembly 20 moves parallelly relative to the housing 10 in any direction, the first reset assembly 30 and the second reset assembly 40 can generate a resultant force to reset the operation lever assembly 20, so that the operation lever assembly 20 and the magnetic element 60 thereon reset to their initial positions. That is, after the external force acting on the operation lever assembly 20 disappears, the first reset assembly 30 and the second reset assembly 40 cooperatively reset the operation lever assembly 20 to its initial position.

[0082] It should be understood that "cooperatively" can be understood as including the following two cases.

[0083] Case 1: The first reset component 30 and the second reset component 40 generate forces for resetting the lever assembly 20, and the resultant force of the two forces resets the lever assembly 20 to its initial position. For example, when the lever assembly 20 moves in parallel with respect to the housing 10 in any direction other than the first and second axes, the lever assembly 20 is displaced with respect to the directions of the first and second axes. In this case, the resultant force of the forces generated by the first reset component 30 and the second reset component 40 resets the lever assembly 20 so that the lever assembly 20 and the magnetic element 60 thereon are reset to their initial positions.

[0084] Case 2: Only one of the first reset component 30 and the second reset component 40 generates a force for resetting the lever assembly 20, and the force resets the lever assembly 20 to its initial position. For example, when the lever assembly 20 moves in parallel with respect to the housing 10 only in the direction of the first axis, the lever assembly 20 is displaced with respect to the direction of the first axis but not with respect to the direction of the second axis. In this case, only the first reset component 30 generates a force for resetting the lever assembly 20, and the force resets the lever assembly 20 and the magnetic element 60 thereon to their initial positions. Similarly, when the lever assembly 20 moves in parallel with respect to the housing 10 only in the direction of the second axis, the lever assembly 20 is displaced with respect to the direction of the second axis but not with respect to the direction of the first axis. In this case, only the second reset component 40 generates a force for resetting the lever assembly 20, and the force resets the lever assembly 20 and the magnetic element 60 thereon to their initial positions.

[0085] When the magnetic element 60 is moved in parallel with respect to the magnetic sensor 702 in any direction in the plane from its initial position by the lever assembly 20, the magnetic sensor 702 senses the change in the magnetic field of the magnetic element 60 and obtains the moving position of the magnetic element 60 in any direction in the plane. The processing unit generates a remote control instruction according to the moving position of the magnetic element 60 sensed by the magnetic sensor 702, and the remote controller 400 sends the remote control instruction to the motorized device being controlled so that the motorized device moves in a direction corresponding to the parallel moving direction of the magnetic element 60.

[0086] In the rocker device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, when the magnetic element 60 is moved in parallel relative to the magnetic sensor 702 in any direction in the plane from its initial position by the operation lever assembly 20, the first reset assembly 30 and the second reset assembly 40 can generate a resultant force to reset the operation lever assembly 20, so as to reset the magnetic element 60 to its initial position, thus simplifying the operation. In addition, the parallel movement direction of the operation lever assembly 20 can correspond to the movement direction of the remote-controlled motorized device, so that the operation of the rocker device 100 is intuitive, simple, and convenient for users to remember.

[0087] In some embodiments, the motorized device is an unmanned aerial vehicle, and the remote controller 400 is used to control the unmanned aerial vehicle. When the operation lever assembly 20 moves in parallel relative to the housing 10 along the first axis, for example, the operation lever assembly 20 moves forward or backward in parallel relative to the user, the remote controller 400 remotely controls the unmanned aerial vehicle to move forward or backward in the horizontal plane in which the unmanned aerial vehicle is located relative to the user; when the operation lever assembly 20 moves in parallel in any direction, for example, the operation lever assembly 20 moves right forward relative to the user, the remote controller 400 remotely controls the unmanned aerial vehicle to move right forward in the horizontal plane in which the unmanned aerial vehicle is located relative to the user. The movement direction of the operation lever assembly 20 corresponds to the movement direction of the unmanned aerial vehicle, so that the operation of the remote controller 400 is intuitive, simple, and the first reset assembly 30 and the second reset assembly 40 can generate a resultant force to reset the operation lever assembly 20, so as to reset the magnetic element 60 to its initial position, thus simplifying the operation of the remote controller 400.
