[0002] With the rapid advancement of control technology, remote control technology has been widely applied in equipment such as drones and unmanned vehicles. Taking drone remote control as a common application, users can operate the drone using a remote control that matches the drone body. This remote control is equipped with a joystick protruding from the remote control body, allowing users to control direction and altitude (throttle) by swinging it. To address the space-consuming issue that joysticks might occupy when stored, some manufacturers have introduced designs that facilitate storage, ensuring the joystick doesn't take up too much storage space when not in use. For example, utility model patent CN221149223U proposes a detachable remote control joystick, including a joystick base, a joystick connecting block, a joystick body, a joystick head, an anti-slip module, a thumb rest module, a remote control body, a storage slot, and a joystick fixing buckle. This patent achieves the disassembly and storage of the joystick through a detachable remote control joystick. However, this storage method has certain problems, such as the small size of the disassembled joystick, its ease of loss, inconvenience in use, and the need for a reassembly process for reuse, which is relatively cumbersome.

[0025] See Figures 1-6 This utility model discloses a foldable joystick for a remote control, comprising a joystick body 1. The joystick body 1 includes a connecting rod 11 for connecting to the remote control, an inner rod 12, and an outer sleeve 13. One end of the connecting rod 11 has a connecting part 111 for connecting to the remote control, and the other end has a hinge part 112. The connecting part 111 is a threaded rod. One end of the inner rod 12 is hinged to the hinge part 112. The outer sleeve 13 has a sliding cavity 131 adapted to the inner rod 12. The inner rod 12 is axially slidable within the sliding cavity 131, and the sliding cavity 131 is also provided with an elastic element 14 for driving the outer sleeve 13 to move towards the connecting rod 11. The outer sleeve 13 is fitted over the inner rod 12. The hinge portion 112 has protruding directional inserts 113 on both sides, and the outer sleeve 13 has a directional slot 132 at one end near the connecting rod 11 for engaging with the directional inserts 113. In this embodiment, the rocker body 1 can bend to both sides around the hinge portion 112, thereby facilitating the storage of the rocker body 1, preventing the rocker body 1 from protruding and affecting storage, and also preventing the rocker body 1 from being damaged during storage. By setting the directional inserts 113 to cooperate with the directional slots 132, the stability of the rocker body 1 during use can be improved, and the rocker body 1 is not easily bent or deformed. When in use, if the joystick body 1 needs to be bent and stored, pull out the outer sleeve 13 away from the connecting rod 11 to separate the directional insert 113 from the directional slot 132. Then, bend the outer sleeve 13 and the inner rod 12 around the hinge position to one side. After releasing the outer sleeve 13, the bottom of the outer sleeve 13 is attached to the side of the directional insert 113 under the action of the elastic member 14, so that the outer sleeve 13 remains bent. When the joystick body 1 needs to be used, pull out the outer sleeve 13 away from the connecting rod 11 again. Then, bend the outer sleeve 13 and the inner rod 12 around the hinge position until they are flush with the connecting rod 11. Release the outer sleeve 13, and the directional slot 132 of the outer sleeve 13 engages with the directional insert 113, thereby locking the outer sleeve 13 and the connecting rod 11.

[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 4The connecting rod 11 is provided with a limiting step surface 114 for engaging with the outer sleeve 13, and the limiting step surface 114 has a recessed notch 1141. The limiting step surface 114 is used to limit the position of the outer sleeve 13, and the notch 1141 serves two purposes: firstly, it engages with the outer sleeve 13 to avoid affecting the fit between the outer sleeve 13 and the side of the directional insert 113 when the sleeve is bent; secondly, the notch 1141 facilitates the insertion and removal of the outer sleeve 13 by inserting a fingernail.

[0027] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 The elastic element 14 is a spring sleeved outside the inner rod 12. The inner rod 12 is provided with a limiting block 121 for cooperating with the spring. One end of the sliding cavity 131 is provided with a spring cavity 1311 adapted to the spring.

[0028] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 The hinge portion 112 includes a hinge groove 1121 and a hinge shaft 1122 disposed on the connecting rod 11. The hinge groove 1121 is located between the two directional inserts 113 on both sides. The end of the inner rod 12 is provided with a hinge block 123 adapted to the hinge groove 1121. The hinge block 123 is hinged to the hinge groove 1121 via the hinge shaft 1122. The cooperation between the hinge groove 1121 and the hinge block 123 improves the directional effect. Example

[0029] See Figure 1 Based on Embodiment 1, the outer sleeve 13 has two anti-slip rings 133 on its outer wall to improve the anti-slip performance of the side wall of the outer sleeve 13.

[0030] See Figure 1 The outer sleeve 13 has several anti-slip teeth 134 at the end away from the connecting rod 11 to improve the anti-slip performance of the end of the outer sleeve 13.

[0031] The working process of this utility model:

[0032] In operation, the foldable joystick of this utility model can be used in the following ways: When the joystick body 1 needs to be bent and stored, the outer sleeve 13 is pulled out away from the connecting rod 11 to separate the directional insert 113 from the directional slot 132. Then, the outer sleeve 13 and the inner rod 12 are bent to one side around the hinge position. After the outer sleeve 13 is released, its bottom is pressed against the side of the directional insert 113 under the action of the elastic member 14, so that the outer sleeve 13 remains bent. When the joystick body 1 needs to be used, the outer sleeve 13 is pulled out away from the connecting rod 11 again. Then, the outer sleeve 13 and the inner rod 12 are bent around the hinge position until they are flush with the connecting rod 11. The outer sleeve 13 is released, and the directional slot 132 of the outer sleeve 13 engages with the directional insert 113, thereby locking the outer sleeve 13 and the connecting rod 11.
