The existing battery waterproof structure of a remote controller usually includes a waterproof sealing strip and a fixing structure, and the waterproof sealing strip is fixed on the battery base by the fixing structure. However, the existing battery waterproof structure of a remote controller is relatively complex, not only the cost is high, but also the disassembly and assembly are very inconvenient.

[0004] Therefore, it is particularly important to design and manufacture a battery waterproof structure of a remote controller and a remote controller of a unmanned aerial vehicle which is simple in structure and convenient to disassemble and assemble. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and in which are shown by way of illustration illustrative embodiments in which the application can be practiced. For purposes of explanation and illustration, directional terms are used with reference to the orientation of the figures, such as "top," "bottom," "left," "right," "upper," "lower," etc. Because components of embodiments can be positioned in a number of different orientations, the directional terminology is used for purposes of illustration and is in no way limiting. It is to be understood that other embodiments can be utilized and logical changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present application. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims.

[0029] According to a first aspect of the present application, a battery waterproof structure of a remote controller is proposed. Embodiment one:

[0030] Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the battery waterproof structure of the remote controller according to embodiment one of the present application, Figure 2 shows an exploded view of the battery waterproof structure of the remote controller according to embodiment one of the present application, as Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the battery waterproof structure of the remote controller includes a shell 1 and a battery assembly 2. The shell 1 is provided with a sliding groove 3, and the battery assembly 2 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 3. The shell 1 is provided with a cover plate 4 rotatably connected to the shell 1 at one end thereof, and the other end of the cover plate 4 is reversibly arranged at the opening of the sliding groove 3. The cover plate 4 is adapted to the sliding groove 3 and used for covering and fixing the battery assembly 2.

[0031] It should be noted that the remote controller of the embodiment can be a remote controller capable of controlling a drone, or a remote controller capable of controlling other devices (such as unmanned vehicles and unmanned ships), which is not limited herein.

[0032] It should be noted that, in order to more clearly show the structural features of the embodiment, the cross-sectional view in the following figure removes the structure of the shell, and only the cover plate and the battery assembly structure are retained. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that all the structural features in the cross-sectional view in the following figure have a corresponding mounting relationship on the shell.

[0033] Figure 3 As shown in Figure 1 , a cross-sectional view along line A-A of the cover plate and the battery assembly when the cover plate is closed, Figure 4 As shown in Figure 3 , an enlarged view of B in Figure 5 As shown in Figure 3 , an enlarged view of C in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the sliding groove 3 is provided with an annular embedding groove (not shown) on the inner side wall (not shown) opposite the opening, and a waterproof layer 5 is embedded in the annular embedding groove. When the battery assembly 2 is installed in the sliding groove 3, one end of the battery assembly 2 located in the inner side of the sliding groove 3 abuts against the annular waterproof layer 5, and then is electrically connected with the built-in adapter circuit board of the shell 1. The battery assembly 2 is integrally formed with a first guide slope 6 on the upper end of the side wall at the opening of the sliding groove 3. During the process of rotating the cover plate 4 downward to cover the battery assembly 2, when the cover plate 4 starts to contact the first guide slope 6, the cover plate 4 extrudes the battery assembly 2 through the abutting and matching of the first guide slope 6, so that the battery assembly 2 moves to the left side, and thus the battery assembly 2 presses the waterproof layer 5 tightly against the inner side wall of the sliding groove 3, achieving the waterproof effect.

[0034] In the embodiment, the waterproof layer 5 is made of waterproof silica gel, which will deform and be pressed tightly in the annular embedding groove when extruded by the battery assembly 2. In other embodiments, the waterproof layer can also be made of a waterproof strip or a waterproof sealing ring, which is not limited herein.

[0035] Continuing to refer to Figure 5The side wall of the battery assembly 2 below the first guide slope 6 is provided with a second guide slope 7. During the process of rotating the cover plate 4 downward to cover the battery assembly 2, when the cover plate 4 begins to contact the second guide slope 7, the cover plate 4 extrudes the battery assembly 2 through the abutting cooperation with the second guide slope 7, so that the battery assembly 2 moves to the left side, thereby the battery assembly 2 presses the waterproof layer 5 on the inner side wall of the sliding groove 3, and the waterproof effect is achieved.

[0036] Figure 6 A sectional view for highlighting the cooperation relationship between the cover plate and the first guide slope according to the first embodiment of the present application is shown, Figure 7 A sectional view for highlighting the cooperation relationship between the cover plate and the second guide slope according to the first embodiment of the present application is shown, Figure 6 、 Figure 7 During the process of rotating the cover plate 4 downward, the cover plate 4 first contacts the first guide slope 6, the cover plate 4 extrudes the battery assembly 2 through the abutting cooperation with the first guide slope 6, so that the battery assembly 2 moves to the left side, and with the continuous downward rotation of the cover plate 4, the first guide slope 6 gradually separates from the cover plate 4 and loses the effect. Then, the cover plate 4 contacts the second guide slope 7, the cover plate 4 continues to extrude the battery assembly 2 through the abutting cooperation with the second guide slope 7, so that the battery assembly 2 continuously moves to the left side, thereby the battery assembly 2 has a better pressing effect on the waterproof layer 5, and the waterproof effect of the waterproof layer 5 is better.

[0037] Specifically, the inclination angle of the first guide slope 6 relative to the vertical direction can be in the range of 18-22°. In this embodiment, the inclination angle of the first guide slope 6 relative to the vertical direction is preferably 21°.

[0038] Specifically, the inclination angle of the second guide slope 7 relative to the vertical direction can be in the range of 2-3°. In this embodiment, the inclination angle of the second guide slope 7 relative to the vertical direction is preferably 2.5°.

[0039] Continuing to refer to Figure 4 The upper and lower ends of the side wall of the battery assembly 2 close to the waterproof layer 5 are integrally formed with pressing slopes 8, the pressing slopes 8 are arranged in a staggered manner with the annular embedding groove, and the middle part of the side wall of the battery assembly 2 close to the waterproof layer 5 abuts on the waterproof layer 5. By arranging the pressing slopes 8 on the upper and lower ends of the side wall of the battery assembly 2, the contact area of the battery assembly 2 and the inner side wall of the sliding groove 3 can be reduced, so as to concentrate the extrusion force of the battery assembly 2 on the part in contact with the waterproof layer 5, and improve the pressing force of the battery assembly 2 on the waterproof layer 5.

[0040] Combined with reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3The lower side of the cover plate 4 is provided with a pressing part. In this embodiment, the pressing part is a pressing boss 9, and a plurality of pressing bosses 9 are horizontally spaced apart and formed on the lower side of the cover plate 4. When the cover plate 4 is completely arranged on the battery assembly 2, the plurality of pressing bosses 9 abut against the upper side of the battery assembly 2, so that an extrusion force in the vertical direction is applied to the battery assembly 2, so that the battery assembly 2 is more stable, and the pressing effect on the waterproof layer 5 is better.

[0041] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 The two side walls of the opening of the sliding groove 3 are integrally formed with guide rails 10 in the mounting direction of the battery assembly 2, and the two side walls of the battery assembly 2 are respectively provided with guide grooves 11 matched with the guide rails 10. When the battery assembly 2 is mounted, the cooperation of the guide grooves 11 and the guide rails 10 can better align the battery assembly 2 to be mounted in the appropriate position, and the battery assembly 2 is also more stable in the sliding groove 3, and the pressing effect on the waterproof layer 5 is better. And through the guidance of the guide rails 10, when the cover plate 4 extrudes or loosens the battery assembly 2, the battery assembly 2 is also more easily moved in the horizontal direction. Embodiment two:

[0042] Figure 8 An exploded view of a battery waterproof structure of a remote controller according to Embodiment Two of the present application is shown, as shown in Figure 8 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment One is that the pressing part of this embodiment is an elastic pressing part 12. The elastic pressing part 12 is arranged at the middle position of the lower side of the cover plate 4, and when the cover plate 4 is completely arranged on the upper side of the battery assembly 2, the elastic pressing part 12 abuts against the upper side of the battery assembly 2, so that an extrusion force in the vertical direction is applied to the battery assembly 2, so that the battery assembly 2 is more stable, and the pressing effect on the waterproof layer 5 is better.

[0043] In this embodiment, the elastic pressing part 12 is made of silica gel, which has elasticity, so that it is not easy to be damaged when pressing the battery assembly 2, and will not cause damage to the battery assembly 2. In other embodiments, the elastic pressing part can also be made of any other material with elasticity, which is not limited here.

[0044] In summary, the working principle of the battery waterproof structure of the remote controller according to the embodiments of the present application is as follows:

[0045] The battery assembly 2 is mounted in the sliding groove 3 through the cooperation of the guide grooves 11 and the guide rails 10, and then the cover plate 4 is covered. In the process of rotating the cover plate 4 downward, the cover plate 4 applies an extrusion force in the horizontal direction to the battery assembly 2 through the abutting cooperation with the first guide slope 6 and the second guide slope 7; at the same time, the pressing boss 9 or the elastic pressing part 12 on the cover plate 4 abuts against the upper side of the battery assembly 2, and applies an extrusion force in the vertical direction to the battery assembly 2. Therefore, the battery assembly 2 presses the waterproof layer 5 against the inner side wall of the sliding groove 3, achieving the waterproof effect.

[0046] According to the second aspect of the present application, a UAV remote controller is also provided, which adopts the battery waterproof structure of the remote controller.

[0047] The present application provides a battery waterproof structure of a remote controller and a UAV remote controller, which can press the waterproof layer 5 tightly through the cover plate 4 and the self structure of the battery assembly 2, without additional fixing structure, and the overall structure is simple, which not only has good waterproof effect, but also is very convenient to disassemble and assemble.

[0048] Obviously, various modifications and changes can be made to the embodiments of the present application by those skilled in the art 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 also aims 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 described in mutually different dependent claims does not mean 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.
