[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 8 This embodiment provides a waterproof one-handed operating handle for a drone, comprising:

[0032] The outer shell includes a first shell 1 and a second shell 2; the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are detachably connected to enclose a mounting cavity 150;

[0033] A flexible sealing ring 3 is provided at the joint between the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 to fill the gap at the joint;

[0034] A button assembly 4 is disposed in the mounting cavity 150 ; the button assembly 4 includes a plurality of button switches 410 ;

[0035] The button assembly flexible sealing pad 5, the first shell 1 is provided with a first key area, and the first key area is provided with a plurality of button avoidance holes 110; the upper end surface of the button assembly flexible sealing pad 5 is provided with a button 510 extending out of the button avoidance hole 110; the lower end surface of the button assembly flexible sealing pad 5 is provided with a driving column 520 corresponding to each of the buttons 510; the button avoidance holes 110 and the driving column 520 are arranged corresponding to the key switch 410; when the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are connected, the upper end surface of the pad body of the button assembly flexible sealing pad 5 abuts against the inner side surface of the first shell 1, and the pad body of the button assembly flexible sealing pad 5 blocks the gap between the button 510 and the button avoidance hole 110.

[0036] The gap between the button avoidance hole 110 and the button 510 is often caused by the omission of a waterproof structure on the drone operating handle, resulting in external water entering the installation cavity 150 through the gap and corroding and damaging internal components.

[0037] The button 510 and the driving column 520 of the button assembly flexible sealing gasket 5 are also flexible, so that the user has a comfortable and flexible feeling when pressing the button 510, thereby improving the user's pressing experience. The button 510 and the driving column 520 isolate the key switch 410 from the button avoiding hole 110, thereby improving the waterproof performance and prolonging the service life of the key switch 410. The gasket body of the button assembly flexible sealing gasket 5 is a sheet membrane structure, and a plurality of buttons 510 are integrated together, which can facilitate the production equipment or manual holding and assembly.

[0038] Preferably, the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 each have a groove body accommodating half of the structure of the flexible sealing ring 3, which facilitates assembly and enhances waterproof performance to prevent external water from entering the installation cavity 150 from the gap between the first shell 1 and the second shell 2.

[0039] The waterproof structure provided by the present application is comprehensive and has high waterproof level, which improves the freedom and comfort of the user when operating the unmanned aerial vehicle outdoors and improves the user experience.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the button assembly 4 is provided with a protective box body 420, and the key switch 410 is arranged in the inner cavity of the protective box body 420; the protective box body 420 is provided with a driving avoiding hole 421 corresponding to the driving column 520; when the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are connected, the lower end surface of the gasket body of the button assembly flexible sealing gasket 5 abuts against the end surface where the driving avoiding hole 421 of the protective box body 420 is located, and the gasket body of the button assembly flexible sealing gasket 5 blocks the gap between the driving column 520 and the driving avoiding hole 421.

[0041] The protective box body 420 can further prevent external water from entering the key switch 410, and the protective box body 420 also provides support for the gasket body of the button assembly flexible sealing gasket 5, thereby facilitating the user to press the button 510.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the driving column 520 and the gasket body of the button assembly flexible sealing gasket 5 are connected, and an active ring groove 521 is arranged at the connection position.

[0043] By arranging the active ring groove 521, the material at the connection position of the driving column 520 and the gasket body of the button assembly flexible sealing gasket 5 is reduced, the activity of the button 510 and the driving column 520 is improved, and the button 510 can be effectively pressed. The inner side surface of the first shell 1 and the end surface of the protective box body 420 do not clamp the gasket body of the button assembly flexible sealing gasket 5, so that the gasket body of the button assembly flexible sealing gasket 5 is in a tense state and is difficult to press the button 510.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4 , including a rocker-type controller 6 and a flexible conical sealing cover 7; the first shell 1 is provided with a rocker movable groove 120, and the bottom of the rocker movable groove 120 is provided with a pressing ring edge 121; the rocker-type controller 6 includes a controller main body end 610 provided in the installation cavity 150 and a rotating rocker 620 extending into the rocker movable groove 120; the flexible conical sealing cover 7 is provided with multiple layers of pleated folding rings along the height direction; the cone top of the flexible conical sealing cover 7 is provided with a socket hole, and the socket hole is interference-connected to the outer wall of the rotating rocker 7; when the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are connected, the pressing ring edge 121 and the bracket of the controller main body end 610 clamp the cone bottom flange 710 of the flexible conical sealing cover 7 to block the gap between the flexible conical sealing cover 7 and the rocker movable groove 120.

[0045] The gap between the rocker controller 6 and the rocker movable slot 120 is often caused by the omission of a waterproof structure on the drone operating handle, resulting in external water entering the installation cavity 150 through the gap and corroding and damaging internal components.

[0046] The above-described structure allows the top and bottom of the flexible conical sealing cover 7 to be in interference fit with the rocker 620, while the pressed ring edge 121 is clamped by the bracket of the controller body 610. This effectively blocks the gap between the flexible conical sealing cover 7 and the rocker slot 120, improving waterproof performance. Furthermore, the flexible conical sealing cover 7 is provided with multiple layers of pleated rings along its height, which does not affect the manipulation of the rocker 620 or the sealing performance. This is an ingenious design.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , including a sealing cover 8; the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are connected by screws 9; the second shell 2 is provided with a screw disassembly hole 210; the sealing cover 8 is connected to the second shell 2 to block the screw disassembly hole 210.

[0048] The gap between the screw 9 and the screw disassembly hole 210 is often caused by the omission of a waterproof structure on the drone operating handle, resulting in external water entering the installation cavity 150 through the gap and corroding and damaging internal components.

[0049] By additionally providing a sealing cover 8 to block the screw disassembly hole 210, it is possible to prevent external water from entering the installation cavity 150 through the screw disassembly hole 210. Moreover, the sealing cover 8 blocks the screw disassembly hole 210, which can make the operating handle hole-free and improve the aesthetics.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6The second shell 2 is provided with a sealing cover groove 220 corresponding to the contour of the sealing cover 8. After the sealing cover 8 is connected to the second shell 2, the outer end surface of the sealing cover 8 is smooth and flush with the outer end surface of the second shell 2.

[0051] With this arrangement, the sealing cover 8 does not protrude abruptly from the outer surface of the second shell 2 , thereby affecting the aesthetics.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The inner end surface of the sealing cover 8 is provided with an undercut 810 , and the second shell 2 is provided with a connecting groove 230 corresponding to the undercut 810 ; the connecting groove 230 is not connected to the mounting cavity 150 .

[0053] This structure facilitates quick connection between the sealing cover 8 and the second housing 2 without the need for additional tools.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , including an elastic sealing block 10; the outer shell is provided with a charging area; the charging area is provided with a accommodating groove 160; the bottom of the accommodating groove 160 is provided with a charging interface 11; a connecting hole (not shown) is provided adjacent to the charging interface 11; the elastic sealing block 10 is provided with a connecting rod 1010 that is plugged into and interfered with the connecting hole; the outer contour of the elastic sealing block 10 corresponds to the groove body of the accommodating groove 160.
