Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) controller technology, specifically a UAV remote controller that is easy to control. Background Technology
[0002] When the drone is in flight, the remote controller transmits instructions to the drone via wireless signals, enabling remote control of the drone. The buttons and switches on the remote controller can perform operations such as flight, ascent, descent, and turning according to the drone's flight requirements. Furthermore, when the drone is remotely dropping objects, the remote controller can be used to remotely control and accurately drop the objects, enabling remote monitoring and dropping operations.
[0003] However, the joystick of the remote control can move forward and backward as well as left and right. Since it needs to move forward and backward during left and right movement, it is easy for the joystick to move 360°. When the joystick moves and presses while the forward and backward and left and right movements are on the same plane, the joystick will deviate from the position of the forward and backward movement to the position of the left and right movement button. This causes the pressing force of the forward and backward movement and the left and right movement to be dispersed and varied. It cannot be guaranteed that the pressing force of the left and right movement will not be dispersed when moving forward and backward, which can easily cause the pressing force to be dispersed and unresponsive when pressing the button. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides an easy-to-control drone remote controller that overcomes the shortcomings described in the background art.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0006] A user-friendly drone remote controller includes a throttle stick, a directional stick, a display screen, and a remote controller. The throttle stick and directional stick are symmetrically arranged on the remote controller. The display screen is located on the surface of the remote controller. A signal antenna, a safety switch, an ignition switch, a high-frequency head, and a start switch are provided on the side of the remote controller. The safety switch, ignition switch, and start switch are distributed on the left and right sides of the remote controller. The signal antenna is located inside the remote controller and emits a wireless signal to connect to the drone.
[0007] The directional joystick includes a movement button, a joystick head, a rotation control button, a first rotating rod, a second rotating rod, a limiting structure, and a connecting rod. The movement button is located on the side of the limiting structure. The connecting rod passes through the middle of the limiting structure, with both ends positioned between the first and second rotating rods. The outer ends of the first and second rotating rods are located inside the remote control. When the joystick head rotates, the limiting structure at the lower end of the joystick head rotates around the connecting rod, causing the lower end of the limiting structure to laterally rub against the rotation control button. There are two movement buttons, symmetrically and vertically positioned on the side of the limiting structure. When the limiting structure rotates, the movement buttons rotate with the limiting structure.
[0008] A preferred technical solution: The limiting structure includes an arc-shaped strip, a circular plate, a support structure, and a movable rod. The movable rod slides in an arc within the support structure and is located on the side of the movable button. The arc-shaped strip is located at the lower end of the circular plate, and its outer side rubs against the rotation control button for rotation. Two support structures are provided, symmetrically distributed on the side of the circular plate, and each support structure corresponds to one of the two movable buttons.
[0009] A preferred technical solution: The support structure includes a round rod, a track plate, and ball bearings. The movable rod is located on the side of the movable button, the round rod is located on the side of the track plate and is located inside the remote control, and the ball bearings are arranged equidistantly on the inner side of the track plate. The movable button is wide at both ends and narrow in the middle. The narrower arc structure in the middle of the movable button is consistent with the arc shape in the middle of the track plate. When the limiting structure rotates, it drives the movable button connected to the movable rod to move, and causes the narrower arc structure in the middle of the movable button to slide in the arc shape with the ball bearings in the middle position of the track plate.
[0010] A preferred technical solution: The two movable buttons corresponding to the support structure control the forward and backward movement of the drone respectively. After the support structure is rotated, the joystick head moves left and right, causing the limiting structure to tilt around the connecting rod as the center, and causing the movable rod on the side of the circular plate to press the movable button.
[0011] A preferred technical solution: The outer layer of the connecting rod is made of rubber, which is disposed on the inner wall of the limiting structure. The left and right ends of the connecting rod are disposed on the outer layer of the first rotating rod and the second rotating rod. The bearings rotate between the inner and outer layers of the first rotating rod and the second rotating rod. When the limiting structure rotates, the rubber material connects the connecting rod and drives the outer layers of the first rotating rod and the second rotating rod to rotate. When the limiting structure moves left and right, the limiting structure presses the rubber material. When the limiting structure is released, the rubber material elastically resets the limiting structure.
[0012] A preferred technical solution: The rotary control key is in a central rotation state, and the surface of the rotary control key is made of threaded rubber material. When the limiting structure moves left and right, the arc-shaped strip presses the surface of the rotary control key. When the limiting structure rotates, the limiting structure drives the rotary control key to rotate, and the rotary control key transmits the signal of left and right movement to the remote control.
[0013] Compared with existing technologies, this technical solution has the following advantages:
[0014] In this invention, the rocker head drives the rotation of the limiting structure, which in turn drives the movable button to rotate. This allows the rotating control button to move left and right as the circular plate rotates, and pressing the movable button issues forward and backward commands. When the circular plate moves left and right, it drives the movable rod to press the movable button. The circular rod is fixed to the track plate inside the remote control, allowing the movable button to slide on the ball bearings as the circular plate rotates. When the movable rod presses the movable button, it provides support, thus ensuring that the support force of the movable button is consistent at all positions and preventing the pressing force from being dispersed when the limiting structure rotates.
[0015] In this invention, tilting the limiting structure will press one of the movable buttons, causing it to send a forward or backward movement signal to the remote control. When the limiting structure is rotated by the joystick head, the limiting structure drives the rotary control button to rotate due to friction, and the rotary control button sends a left-right movement signal to the remote control. The rotation of the support structure causes the movable button to rotate with the limiting structure, so that the movable button and the rotary control button are pressed in different directions. At the same time, it ensures that the pressing force is not dispersed, preventing the pressing force from being dispersed and insensitive during manual operation. Attached Figure Description

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model proposes an easy-to-control drone remote controller, including a throttle joystick 1, a directional joystick 2, a display screen 3, and a remote controller 4. The throttle joystick 1 and the directional joystick 2 are symmetrically arranged on the remote controller 4. The display screen 3 is arranged on the surface of the remote controller 4. The remote controller 4 has a signal antenna 5, a safety switch 6, an ignition switch 7, a high-frequency head 8, and a start switch 9 on its side. The safety switch 6, the ignition switch 7, and the start switch 9 are distributed on the left and right sides of the remote controller 4. The signal antenna 5 is arranged inside the remote controller 4 and emits a wireless signal to connect to the drone.
[0027] The directional joystick 2 includes a movement button 21, a joystick head 22, a rotation control button 23, a first rotating rod 24, a second rotating rod 25, a limiting structure 26, and a connecting rod 27. The movement button 21 is located on the side of the limiting structure 26. The connecting rod 27 passes through the middle of the limiting structure 26, with both ends of the connecting rod 27 located between the first rotating rod 24 and the second rotating rod 25. The outer ends of the first rotating rod 24 and the second rotating rod 25 are located inside the remote control 4. When the joystick head 22 rotates, the limiting structure 26 at the lower end of the joystick head 22 rotates around the connecting rod 27, causing the lower end of the limiting structure 26 to laterally rub against the rotation control button 23. There are two movement buttons 21, which are symmetrically and vertically arranged on the side of the limiting structure 26. When the limiting structure 26 rotates, the movement buttons 21 rotate with the limiting structure 26.
[0028] The limiting structure 26 includes an arc-shaped strip 261, a circular plate 262, a support structure 263, and a movable rod 264. The movable rod 264 slides arc-shaped within the support structure 263 and is located on the side of the movement button 21. The arc-shaped strip 261 is located at the lower end of the circular plate 262, and its outer side rubs against the rotation control button 23 for rotation. There are two support structures 263, symmetrically distributed on the side of the circular plate 262, and each support structure 263 corresponds to one of the two movement buttons 21.
[0029] The support structure 263 includes a round rod 211, a track plate 212, and ball bearings 213. The movable rod 264 is located on the side of the movable button 21, the round rod 211 is located on the side of the track plate 212 and is located inside the remote control 4, and the ball bearings 213 are arranged at equal intervals on the inner side of the track plate 212. The movable button 21 is wide at both ends and narrow in the middle. The arc-shaped structure of the narrower part of the movable button 21 is consistent with the arc shape of the middle part of the track plate 212. When the limiting structure 26 rotates, it drives the movable button 21 connected to the movable rod 264 to move, and causes the arc-shaped structure of the narrower part of the movable button 21 to slide in the middle of the track plate 212 with the ball bearings 213.
[0030] The two movable buttons 21 corresponding to the support structure 263 control the drone to move forward and backward respectively. After the support structure 263 rotates, the joystick head 22 moves left and right, causing the limiting structure 26 to tilt around the connecting rod 27, and causing the movable rod 264 on the side of the circular plate 262 to press the movable button 21.
[0031] Furthermore, the outer layer of the connecting rod 27 is made of rubber, which is disposed on the inner wall of the limiting structure 26. The left and right ends of the connecting rod 27 are disposed on the outer layer of the first rotating rod 24 and the second rotating rod 25. The bearings between the inner and outer layers of the first rotating rod 24 and the second rotating rod 25 rotate. When the limiting structure 26 rotates, the rubber material connects the connecting rod 27 and drives the outer layers of the first rotating rod 24 and the second rotating rod 25 to rotate. When the limiting structure 26 moves left and right, the limiting structure 26 presses the rubber material. When the limiting structure 26 is released, the rubber material elastically resets the limiting structure 26.
[0032] The rotary control key 23 is in a central rotation state, and the surface of the rotary control key 23 is made of threaded rubber. When the limiting structure 26 moves left and right, the arc strip 261 presses the surface of the rotary control key 23. When the limiting structure 26 rotates, the limiting structure 26 drives the rotary control key 23 to rotate, and the rotary control key 23 transmits the signal of left and right movement to the remote control 4.
[0033] Furthermore, the movement button 21 and the rotation control button 23 transmit movement signals to the LNB 8 connected to the remote control unit 4. The LNB 8 converts the transmitted movement signals, and the converted movement signals are transmitted from the LNB 8 to the signal antenna 5 for wireless transmission to the drone. The rotation control button 23 has the effect of controlling left and right movement, and the two movement buttons 21 are the forward and backward control buttons, respectively.
[0034] Furthermore, the left index finger and thumb move back and forth to operate the throttle lever 1, and the left ring finger presses to operate the start switch 9, while the right index finger and thumb operate the direction lever 2, and the right ring finger operates the safety switch 6 and the ignition switch 7. In this utility model, the safety switch 6, the ignition switch 7 and the start switch 9 are distributed at the arc-shaped apex position on the outside of the remote control 4, and the distance from the direction lever 2 to the safety switch 6 and the ignition switch 7 and the distance from the throttle lever 1 to the start switch 9 are all less than 10 cm, and less than the length of an adult's right index finger to ring finger when naturally spread, which provides better comfort for holding the remote control 4.
[0035] In this invention, the rocker head 22 drives the rotation of the limiting structure 26, which in turn drives the movable button 21 to rotate. This causes the rotating control key 23 to move left and right as the circular plate 262 rotates, and the movable button 21 is pressed to issue forward and backward commands. When the circular plate 262 moves left and right, it drives the movable rod 264 to press the movable button 21. The circular rod 211 is set inside the remote control 4 to fix the track plate 212, so that the movable button 21 slides on the ball bearing 213 as the circular plate 262 rotates. When the movable rod 264 presses the movable button 21, it supports it, thereby ensuring that the supporting force of the movable button 21 is consistent in all positions and preventing the pressing force from being dispersed when the limiting structure 26 rotates.
[0036] In this invention, when the limiting structure 26 presses the movable button 21, the limiting structure 26 tilts and presses the outer rubber material of the connecting rod 27 around the connecting rod 27. At this time, the arc strip 261 will tilt to a certain extent and squeeze the rubber material on the outer surface of the rotary control button 23. The limiting structure 26 can rotate at this time. When the limiting structure 26 rotates, it drives the connecting rod 27 to rotate on the outer layer of the second rotating rod 25. When the limiting structure 26 tilts, the pressing of the rotary control button 23 by the arc strip 261 can also drive the rotary control button 23 to rotate. When the limiting structure 26 releases its pressure on the movable button 21, the tilt of the limiting structure 26 is recovered by the elasticity of the rubber material on the outer side of the connecting rod 27. The position allows the limiting structure 26 to maintain its friction against the surface of the rotary control key 23. In this invention, tilting the limiting structure 26 will press one of the movable keys 21, causing it to send a forward or backward movement signal to the remote control 4. When the limiting structure 26 is rotated by the joystick head 22, the limiting structure 26 drives the rotary control key 23 to rotate rubbed, and the rotary control key 23 sends a left and right movement signal to the remote control 4. The rotation of the support structure 263 causes the movable key 21 to rotate with the limiting structure 26, so that the movable key 21 and the rotary control key 23 can be pressed in different directions. At the same time, it ensures that the pressing force is not dispersed, preventing the pressing force from being dispersed and insensitive during manual operation.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and therefore cannot be used to limit the scope of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the present utility model patent and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
