[0027] In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of the detailed description and are shown by illustrative specific embodiments in which the present application can be practiced. In this regard, directional terms, such as "top", "bottom", "left", "right", "up", "down", etc., are used with reference to the orientation of the figures being described. Because the components of the embodiments can be positioned in several different orientations, directional terms are used for illustrative purposes and are in no way limiting. It should be understood that other embodiments can be utilized or logical changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present application. Therefore, the following detailed description should not be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims.

[0028] According to a first aspect of the present application, a quick-release battery structure for a remote control is proposed. Figure 1 The figure shows the overall structure of the battery quick-release structure of the remote controller according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 Schematic diagram showing the battery compartment cover when it is opened according to an embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 An exploded view of the quick-release battery structure of the remote controller according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, the remote control structure includes a remote control body 1 and a battery assembly 2. The remote control body 1 is provided with a mounting slot 3, with one side of the mounting slot 3 open horizontally. The mounting slot 3 is used to accommodate the battery assembly 2. A battery compartment cover 4 is provided on the surface of the remote control body 1. One end of the battery compartment cover 4 is rotatably connected to the remote control body 1, and the other end can be flipped up and down at the opening of the mounting slot 3. The battery compartment cover 4 is adapted to the mounting slot 3 to cover and secure the battery assembly 2.

[0029] Continue to refer to Figure 3 Specifically, a mounting base 5 is fixedly mounted on the flip-up end of the battery compartment cover 4. A pressing block 6 is slidably connected within the mounting base 5, allowing the pressing block 6 to extend and retract relative to the mounting base 5. A locking catch 7 is vertically fixed to the remote control body 1. The pressing block 6 engages and disengages with the locking catch 7 by extending and retracting within the mounting base 5, thereby securing the battery compartment cover 4 to the remote control body 1 or allowing the battery compartment cover 4 to be flipped upward relative to the remote control body 1, thereby enabling installation and removal of the battery assembly 2.

[0030] It should be noted that the remote control of this embodiment can be a remote control that can control a drone, or a remote control that controls other devices (such as an unmanned vehicle or an unmanned boat), and there is no limitation here.

[0031] Figure 4 Shown Figure 1 The battery compartment cover and battery assembly are sectional views along line AA when the battery compartment cover is closed. Figure 5 Shown Figure 4 The enlarged view of point B in the figure is as follows: Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, when the battery compartment cover 4 is closed, the upper end of the lock catch 7 is inserted into the mounting seat 5 to achieve a snap fit with the pressing block 6. Specifically, an elastic component is further provided in the mounting seat 5, which is used to enable the pressing block 6 to extend and retract back and forth in the mounting seat 5, so that the pressing block 6 and the lock catch 7 are engaged or disengaged with each other.

[0032] It should be noted that in order to more clearly show the snap-fit relationship between the pressing block 6 and the lock buckle 7, Figure 4 The structure of the remote control body 1 is removed. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that Figure 4 All the structures in the figure have corresponding installation relationships on the remote control body 1.

[0033] Continue to refer to Figure 5The elastic assembly includes a return spring 8 and a guide rod 9. One end of the guide rod 9 is fixed to the battery compartment cover 4, and the other end extends horizontally toward the direction of the pressing block 6. A certain gap is left between the guide rod 9 and the pressing block 6 to allow the pressing block 6 to expand and contract. The return spring 8 is mounted on the guide rod 9. One end of the return spring 8 is fixed to the battery compartment cover 4, and the other end extends and is fixed to the inner wall of the pressing block 6.

[0034] When the pressing block 6 and the lock catch 7 are engaged, the return spring 8 is in its normal state. Pressing the pressing block 6 compresses the return spring 8, driving the pressing block 6 toward the battery compartment cover 4 until the pressing block 6 and the lock catch 7 are disengaged. At this point, the battery compartment cover 4 can be flipped upward.

[0035] It should be noted that the elastic component of this embodiment adopts the return spring 8. In other embodiments, the elastic component may also adopt other elastic structures, which is not limited here.

[0036] It should be noted that the elastic component of this embodiment adopts a combination of a return spring 8 and a guide rod 9, and the installation stability of the return spring 8 is better. In other embodiments, the elastic component can only use a return spring.

[0037] Continue to refer to Figure 5 A mating portion 10 is integrally formed on the underside of one end of the pressing block 6 located within the mounting base 5. The mating portion 10 protrudes horizontally from the interior of the pressing block 6. A snap-fitting portion 11 is integrally formed on the upper end of the lock catch 7. The snap-fitting portion 11 protrudes horizontally toward the battery compartment cover 4. The pressing block 6 and the lock catch 7 are secured together by the snap-fitting engagement of the mating portion 10 and the snap-fitting portion 11.

[0038] Figure 6 Shown Figure 2 The battery compartment cover and battery assembly are shown in the cross-sectional view along the CC line when the battery compartment cover is opened. Figure 7 Shown Figure 6 The enlarged view of point D in the middle is as follows: Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, when the battery compartment cover 4 is opened, the engaging portion 11 of the lock catch 7 and the matching portion 10 of the pressing block 6 are in a disengaged state.

[0039] It should be noted that in order to more clearly show the snap-fit relationship between the pressing block 6 and the lock buckle 7, Figure 6 The structure of the remote control body 1 is removed. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that Figure 6 All the structures in the figure have corresponding installation relationships on the remote control body 1.

[0040] Combined with reference Figure 5 and Figure 7A matching bevel 12 is provided on one side of the mating portion 10, which is tilted downward. A guide bevel 13 is provided on the upper end of the clamping portion 11, which is tilted upward. The matching bevel 12 is adapted to the guide bevel 13. When the battery compartment cover 4 flips downward, the pressing block 6 moves downward accordingly. When the mating portion 10 of the pressing block 6 contacts the clamping portion 11 of the lock catch 7, the matching bevel 12 and the guide bevel 13 cooperate to bear force. Since the clamping portion 11 is fixed, according to the force analysis, there is a horizontal leftward friction force between the mating portion 10 and the clamping portion 11. This friction force drives the mating portion 10 to move to the left while moving downward, and at this time, the return spring 8 is compressed. When the mating portion 10 is disengaged from the clamping portion 11, the return spring 8 returns to its normal state from the compressed state, and the pressing block 6 moves to the right under the action of the rebound force of the return spring 8, thereby driving the mating portion 10 and the clamping portion 11 to form a clamping fit.

[0041] Further, continue to refer to Figure 4 When the matching portion 10 is engaged with the clamping portion 11, there is a certain gap between the guide rod 9 and the pressing block 6 for the pressing block 6 to extend and retract. When the matching portion 10 is disengaged from the clamping portion 11, the inner wall of the pressing block 6 just abuts against the end of the guide rod 9 away from the battery compartment cover 4.

[0042] In summary, the working principle of the battery quick-release structure of the remote control embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0043] When replacing the battery assembly 2, the pressing block 6 is pressed, which drives the mating portion 10 to move horizontally to the left, disengaging the engaging portion 11. The battery compartment cover 4 can then be flipped upward and opened. After replacing the battery assembly 2, the battery compartment cover 4 is flipped downward, driving the pressing block 6 downward. When the mating portion 10 on the pressing block 6 contacts the engaging portion 11 of the latch 7, the engaging bevel 12 and the guiding bevel 13 cooperate to exert force, creating a horizontal leftward frictional force between the mating portion 10 and the engaging portion 11. This frictional force drives the mating portion 10 to the left while simultaneously moving downward, compressing the return spring 8. When the mating portion 10 disengages from the engaging portion 11, the return spring 8 returns from its compressed state to its normal state. The pressing block 6, under the action of the return spring 8's rebound force, moves rightward, driving the mating portion 10 to engage with the engaging portion 11, securing the battery compartment cover 4 to the remote control body 1.

[0044] According to the second aspect of the present application, a drone remote controller is also proposed, which adopts the battery quick-release structure of the above-mentioned remote controller.

[0045] This application proposes a remote control battery quick-release structure and a drone remote control. By providing a mounting slot 3 on the remote control body 1, when replacing the battery assembly 2, the battery assembly 2 is placed in the mounting slot 3, and then the battery compartment cover 4 is closed. The pressing block 6 at the flip end of the battery compartment cover 4 is subjected to force and extends and retracts to engage with the lock 7 on the remote control body 1 to achieve a fixed connection. When removing the battery assembly 2, the pressing block 6 is pressed, and the pressing block 6 extends and retracts again to disengage from the lock 7. At this time, the battery compartment cover 4 can be flipped over to remove the battery assembly 2. The battery quick-release structure of this application allows the user to disassemble and assemble the battery assembly 2 with one hand, making the disassembly and assembly process simple and convenient, and the simple structure reduces manufacturing costs.

[0046] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes to the embodiments of the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. In this way, if these modifications and changes are within the scope of the claims of the present application and their equivalents, the present application is also intended to cover these modifications and changes. The word "comprising" does not exclude the presence of other elements or steps not listed in the claims. The simple fact that certain measures are recited in mutually different dependent claims does not indicate that the combination of these measures cannot be used to advantage. Any reference signs in the claims should not be considered as limiting the scope.
