[0025] To illustrate the technical solution described in this utility model, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific drawings and embodiments.

[0026] Please refer to the following: Figures 2 to 4 This utility model embodiment provides a remote control 10, including a remote control housing 11, a display module 12, a control module, a wireless communication module, and a main battery 15;

[0027] The remote controller housing 11 forms an installation cavity 18. The display module 12, control module, and main battery 15 are all disposed inside the remote controller housing 11. The display module 12 is used to display the flight status information and / or real-time images of the UAV. The wireless communication module is used to communicate with the UAV. The main battery 15 provides power to the remote controller.

[0028] The remote control 10 is equipped with a backup battery 20, which is detachably installed and removed from the remote control 10 by means of magnetic attraction.

[0029] The remote control housing 11 is the outer shell of the remote control, which is usually set separately. It has an internal mounting cavity 18 for installing the display module, control module and wireless communication module. These modules are all fixed inside the remote control housing 11 and are electrically connected by embedded connecting lines and components to ensure the stability of data transmission and control signal transmission between modules.

[0030] The display module 12 is located in the visible area at the front of the remote controller housing 11, allowing users to easily view the drone's flight status information, such as battery level, flight altitude, and flight speed, or display real-time images captured by the drone's camera. This module can be a liquid crystal display (LCD) or an organic light-emitting diode display (OLED), featuring high brightness and low power consumption to meet the visualization needs in outdoor scenarios.

[0031] The control module is installed in the central area inside the remote controller housing 11. It receives user input commands (such as joystick, button, or touchscreen operations) via a control circuit connected to the display module 12 and the wireless communication module, and converts these commands into corresponding control signals for the drone. This control module also monitors the backup battery's power status, ensuring automatic switching to backup battery power when the main battery is depleted, thus preventing control interruption.

[0032] The wireless communication module is installed on the side or inside of the remote controller housing 11 near the top, establishing a two-way data communication connection with the drone. This module can use Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or a dedicated wireless communication protocol to ensure real-time data transmission and support stable long-distance communication to meet the operational needs of the drone.

[0033] The backup battery 20 is a detachable structure, mainly consisting of the battery body 22 and magnetic components. The outer casing of the backup battery 20 is made of a lightweight and wear-resistant material, making it easy to carry and quickly replace. Its battery body 22 has a built-in power control chip, which can automatically identify the connection status with the remote control and automatically switch to backup battery power when the main battery is low on power.

[0034] The backup battery 20 is detachably connected to the remote control housing 11 via magnetic attraction. Specifically, at least one second magnetic component 25 is provided on the surface of the backup battery body 20 or inside the backup battery body 22, and a corresponding first magnetic component 17 is provided on the remote control housing 11. Both the second magnetic component 25 and the first magnetic component 17 are made of high-strength magnetic materials, such as neodymium iron boron magnets, to ensure the stability and firmness of the backup battery 20 after connection. During normal use, the magnetic connection prevents the backup battery 20 from becoming loose, while allowing the user to easily remove and replace the backup battery when needed.

[0035] When the backup battery 20 is installed into the remote control housing 11, its electrodes are in close contact with the electrode contact surface of the remote control housing 11, ensuring stable power transmission. This design allows the backup battery 20 to quickly take over power when the main battery 15 has low or depleted power, avoiding operational interruptions caused by battery replacement. Furthermore, the magnetic installation requires no additional tools, allowing users to remove and install the backup battery with one hand, improving the convenience of drone control.

[0036] For example, the backup battery is designed as a detachable structure, which has a second housing 21. The second housing 21 has a second magnetic component 25 built into it on the side facing the remote control housing 11, which corresponds to the first magnetic component 17 provided on the remote control housing 11 to achieve magnetic connection.

[0037] Specifically, see Figures 3-4 The remote control housing 11 has a first magnetic component 17 disposed inside on the second side facing the display module 12, and a second magnetic component 25 disposed inside the spare battery 20 near the housing. Both the first magnetic component 17 and the second magnetic component 25 are made of high-strength magnetic materials, such as neodymium iron boron magnets, to ensure that the spare battery 20 can be firmly attached to the housing, preventing accidental loosening or falling. This magnetic structure allows the spare battery to be easily installed and removed when needed, enabling users to quickly complete battery replacement operations and improving ease of use.

[0038] The first magnetic component 17 is adhesively attached to the second side of the remote control housing 11 facing the display module 12; the second magnetic component 25 is adhesively attached to the interior of the second housing 21 of the spare battery 20 facing the remote control housing 11. Optionally, the first magnetic component 17 and the second magnetic component 25 can also be fixed by providing mounting grooves 23 inside the remote control housing 11 and the second housing 21, and the adhesive can be evenly applied to the bottom and sidewalls of the grooves, so that the first magnetic component 17 and the remote control housing 11 form a double fixing structure. Similarly, the second magnetic component 25 is embedded and fixed in the mounting groove 23 of the second housing 21 in a similar manner. This effectively prevents the magnetic components from loosening or falling off during installation or use, and also makes the contact between the magnetic components between the spare battery 20 and the remote control 10 more precise, improving the docking stability.

[0039] For example, the first magnetic component 17 is uniformly distributed around the battery in the first housing, and the second magnetic component 25 corresponding to the first magnetic component 17 is uniformly distributed around the battery in the second housing 21. See [link to documentation]. Figure 6The second magnetic component 25 is disposed inside the second housing 21 and is evenly distributed around the battery body 2. Correspondingly, the first magnetic component 17 is disposed in the first housing and is disposed in relation to the second magnetic component 25. By increasing the installation area of ​​the magnetic component, it ensures more precise contact between the spare battery 20 and the remote control and improves the docking stability.

[0040] This magnetic structure allows for the replacement of the spare battery 20 without any tools, enabling users to complete the process with one hand in a short time, greatly improving the ease of use and operational efficiency of the remote control 20. Simultaneously, by placing the first magnetic component 17 on the side of the housing away from the display module 12, interference from the magnetic component to the display module is avoided, effectively improving the overall electromagnetic compatibility and operational stability of the remote control 10.

[0041] For example, the remote control housing 11 is provided with a first electrical connection terminal 13, while the backup battery is provided with a second electrical connection terminal 27. When the backup battery 20 is installed in the remote control housing 11, the first electrical connection terminal 13 and the second electrical connection terminal 27 come into contact with each other, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the backup battery 20 and the remote control 10, ensuring that the backup battery 20 can supply power to the remote control 10.

[0042] Specifically, the remote control housing 11 has a first groove 16 on the side facing the backup battery 20. The first electrical connection terminal 13 passes through the remote control housing 11 and is disposed in the first groove 16. The first groove 16 is used for the second connection terminal 27 of the backup battery 20 to be inserted and installed, and ensures that the second electrical connection terminal 27 of the backup battery 20 and the first electrical connection terminal 13 of the remote control 10 achieve a reliable electrical connection.

[0043] The first groove 16 includes an open end and an inner wall guide groove. The shape and size of the inner wall guide groove match the shape of the first protrusion 24 of the backup battery 20 to facilitate smooth battery insertion and prevent loosening. The guide groove can be designed with a slight tilt angle or curved surface to guide the second electrical connection terminal 27 in the first protrusion 24 of the backup battery 20 to automatically align with the position of the first electrical connection terminal 13 during insertion, thereby ensuring accurate positioning of the contact point during insertion.

[0044] For example, a first electrical connection terminal 13 for achieving electrical connection is provided in the first groove 16. This terminal is composed of multiple independent metal contacts, which can form a reliable multi-point electrical connection with the second electrical connection terminal 27 of the backup battery 20. These metal contacts are arranged along the interior of the first groove 16 and are elastically designed so that they generate a slight clamping force when contacting the second electrical connection terminal 27 of the backup battery 20 to ensure the stability of conductivity.

[0045] As the first protrusion 24 of the backup battery 20 is inserted into the first groove 16, the second electrical connection terminal 27 on the backup battery 20 gradually contacts and presses against the first electrical connection terminal 13, forming a stable electrical connection. To improve the stability of the connection, the first electrical connection terminal 13 adopts an elastic contact design, which can generate slight elastic compression when the battery is inserted. This can effectively absorb vibration and displacement, ensuring that the battery and the terminal always maintain good contact. After the backup battery 20 is inserted into place, its electrical connection terminal will firmly contact the first electrical connection terminal 13, completing the electrical connection with the internal circuit of the remote control 10.

[0046] The first groove 16 is located on the inner surface of the first side of the remote control housing 11. The groove has a moderate depth and corresponds to the first protrusion 24 of the backup battery 20. The bottom of the first groove 16 has a plurality of first holes. The position and number of these holes correspond one-to-one with the first electrical connection terminal 13 and the second electrical connection terminal 27 of the backup battery 20, thereby ensuring that after the backup battery 20 is installed in place, the second electrical connection terminal 27 can accurately align with and contact the first electrical connection terminal 13 of the remote control.

[0047] The diameter of these first holes is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the first electrical connection terminal 13, so that the terminal can pass smoothly through the remote control housing 11. The first electrical connection terminal 13 is exposed in the first groove 16 through the first hole, and a reliable electrical connection is achieved with the second electrical connection terminal 27 of the backup battery 20.

[0048] The first electrical connection terminal 13 adopts a spring-loaded structure with a certain degree of elasticity. The terminal material is gold-plated copper to improve conductivity and corrosion resistance. This spring-loaded terminal compresses slightly when the backup battery is connected to ensure a tight fit with the second electrical connection terminal 27. This elastic design ensures that the electrical connection remains stable even during slight vibrations or displacements during use.

[0049] For example, the second protrusion of the backup battery 20 is provided with a second electrical connection terminal 27, which is recessed and can make large-area contact with the first electrical connection terminal. This recessed structure design ensures the contact area and stability of the two terminals, reduces contact resistance, and improves power transmission efficiency.

[0050] When installing the backup battery 20, the first groove 16 and the first protrusion 24 provide accurate mating guidance, enabling the backup battery 20 to be quickly positioned and ensuring precise alignment of the first electrical connection terminal 13 and the second electrical connection terminal 27. Furthermore, the spring-loaded first electrical connection terminal 13 generates a certain contact pressure during mating, ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection without causing excessive wear to the terminal.

[0051] For example, the surface of the first side of the remote control housing 11 facing the backup battery 20 is provided with a plurality of grooves or protrusions, and the surface of the backup battery 20 that is in contact with the first side is correspondingly provided with protrusions or grooves.

[0052] To enhance the stable connection between the backup battery 20 and the remote control housing 11, a plurality of second grooves 14 or second protrusions are provided on the surface of the first side of the remote control housing 11 facing the backup battery 20. A third protrusion 26 corresponding to the second groove 14, or a third groove corresponding to the second protrusion, is provided on the mating surface of the second housing 21 of the backup battery 20. These interlocking structures effectively prevent the backup battery from slipping during use, thus improving connection stability.

[0053] The backup battery is designed with a charging port 28, so that after the backup battery 20 is connected to the remote control, it can both power the remote control 10 and provide additional power to external devices. The charging port 28 not only expands the usage scenarios of the backup battery, but also enhances the versatility of the remote control.

[0054] The charging port 28 is located on the side or bottom of the backup battery 20 to ensure that it remains usable after the backup battery 20 is installed in the remote control 10. The position of the port is precisely designed to avoid being obstructed or damaged during the installation and removal of the backup battery 20. The charging port 28 can be either the commonly used USB Type-C or USB-A to meet the charging needs of most electronic devices on the market.

[0055] The power management module inside the backup battery 20 is electrically connected to the charging interface 28, and can automatically detect the power consumption requirements of external devices and intelligently allocate the power resources of the backup battery 20. In this way, when the backup battery 20 supplies power to both the remote control 10 and the external device at the same time, it can ensure that the power supply to the remote control 10 is prioritized, and avoid the high power consumption requirements of the external device affecting the normal operation of the remote control.

[0056] The charging port 28 of the backup battery 10 can provide additional power to the user's mobile phone, tablet, or other USB-powered devices. For example, when the user is carrying a remote control for outdoor operation, the charging port can be used to charge mobile phones and other devices in an emergency, enhancing the portability and practicality of the device.

[0057] The charging port 28 on the backup battery 20 can also serve as a backup power port, providing direct charging power to the remote control 10 when its battery is depleted. This allows users to continue using the remote control 10 even when charging is inconvenient.

[0058] This invention features a backup battery 20 located on the rear of the remote controller 10. The backup battery is magnetically attached for easy removal and installation, allowing users to quickly replace it when the main battery is depleted, thus extending the remote controller's battery life. The magnetic design facilitates operation, reduces battery replacement time, and improves the user experience. The backup battery ensures continuous power supply to the remote controller 10, providing emergency power even in the event of accidental damage or failure of the main battery, ensuring uninterrupted drone operation and improving system reliability. The internal design of the remote controller housing provides independent space for the display module, control module, and wireless communication module, forming a modular layout.

[0059] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
