Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of remote control device technology, and in particular to an operating joystick assembly and a remote control. Background Technology

[0002] When controlling devices, including drones, a remote control is usually used, which is held by the operator to operate the device.

[0003] In the prior art, the control stick assembly used for direction changing inside the remote control has a complex structure and occupies a large space, resulting in a large remote control size that is not convenient for the operator to operate flexibly. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a reasonably structured joystick assembly and remote control, which, while enabling joystick operation in the X and Y directions, simplifies the overall structure and creates a compact layout, effectively reducing the size of the remote control and facilitating handheld operation by the user.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An operating lever assembly includes a mounting frame. An X-axis rotating base is arranged on the side of the mounting frame, and a lever is installed through the mounting frame and the X-axis rotating base. An X-axis brushless gimbal motor and a first rotating connection assembly are respectively installed between the opposite sides of the X-axis rotating base and the mounting frame. A Y-axis brushless gimbal motor and a second rotating connection assembly are respectively installed between the opposite sides of the lever and the X-axis rotating base.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0008] The rotor of the X-axis brushless gimbal motor is mounted on the side wall of the X-axis rotating base, and the stator of the X-axis brushless gimbal motor is mounted on the mounting bracket; the rotor of the Y-axis brushless gimbal motor is mounted on the side wall of the lever, and the stator of the Y-axis brushless gimbal motor is mounted on the X-axis rotating base.

[0009] The X-axis brushless gimbal motor applies a oscillating force relative to the mounting frame with the X-axis as the axial direction to the X-axis rotating base, and the Y-axis brushless gimbal motor applies a oscillating force relative to the X-axis rotating base with the Y-axis as the axial direction to the lever.

[0010] The X-axis rotating base includes two straight walls located on opposite sides in the X direction. One straight wall forms an X-axis motor base, and an X-axis brushless gimbal motor is mounted on the outer side of the straight wall. The outer side of the other straight wall extends outward to form an X-axis rotating part, which is connected and fitted with a rotating connecting assembly.

[0011] The X-axis rotating base includes two outwardly convex arc surfaces located on opposite sides in the Y-axis direction. The Y-axis brushless gimbal motor and the rotating connection assembly are arranged on the inner sides of the outwardly convex arc surfaces on both sides of the X-axis rotating base.

[0012] The X-axis rotating base wall that fits against the mounting bracket has an elongated hole for the lever to pass through and swing relative to it. The elongated hole is arranged along the X-axis, and the inner edge of the elongated hole extends inward to form a wall, which constitutes a accommodating space for the lever to be installed.

[0013] The structure of the lever is as follows: it includes a lever part, the end of the lever part extends to form a Y-direction motor seat, one side of the Y-direction motor seat extends vertically to form a Y-direction rotating part; the two sides of the Y-direction motor seat extend laterally to form a flange with the Y-direction rotating part as the center, and the two ends of the flange are turned outward to form a limiting part.

[0014] The rotating connection component one and rotating connection component two have the same structure. The structure of rotating connection component two is as follows: it includes a bracket installed on the X-axis rotating base, and a rotating shaft is housed inside the bracket. The rotating shaft is connected to the lever and rotates together relative to the X-axis rotating base. A PCB board is installed on the outer wall of the bracket, and the PCB board is fixed to the bracket by a pressure block. A magnetic ring is fitted on the rotating shaft, and a detection plate is also included to detect the actual rotation angle of the magnetic ring.

[0015] The PCB board includes a receiver and a microprocessor. The receiver is used to receive signal feedback from an external remote-controlled object, and the microprocessor controls the operation of the brushless gimbal motor in the corresponding direction.

[0016] A remote control comprising the joystick assembly described in any one of the above descriptions.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This utility model combines the use of a brushless gimbal motor, which simplifies the overall structure and makes the layout compact while enabling the joystick to be operated in the X and Y directions. This effectively helps to reduce the size of the remote control and makes it easier for the operator to hold and control it. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an operating lever assembly in this embodiment includes a mounting frame 1. An X-axis rotating base 3 is arranged on the side of the mounting frame 1. A lever 2 is installed through the mounting frame 1 and the X-axis rotating base 3. An X-axis brushless gimbal motor 6 and a rotation connection assembly 5 are respectively installed between the opposite sides of the X-axis rotating base 3 and the mounting frame 1. A Y-axis brushless gimbal motor 4 and a rotation connection assembly 7 are respectively installed between the opposite sides of the lever 2 and the X-axis rotating base 3.

[0029] In this embodiment, the use of a brushless gimbal motor simplifies the overall structure and makes the layout more compact while enabling the joystick to operate in the X and Y directions, effectively helping to reduce the size of the remote control.

[0030] In this embodiment, the operation input can be made via the lever 2, which can drive the lever 2 to rotate and swing relative to the X-axis rotating base 3 in the Y direction. The X-axis rotating base 3 can rotate and swing relative to the mounting frame 1 in the X direction, thereby realizing that the lever 2 can be arbitrarily moved relative to the mounting frame 1 within a rectangular range.

[0031] The rotor of the X-axis brushless gimbal motor 6 is mounted on the side wall of the X-axis rotating base 3, and the stator of the X-axis brushless gimbal motor 6 is mounted on the mounting bracket 1; the rotor of the Y-axis brushless gimbal motor 4 is mounted on the side wall of the lever 2, and the stator of the Y-axis brushless gimbal motor 4 is mounted on the X-axis rotating base 3.

[0032] In actual operation, the lever 2 can be driven to rotate relative to the X-axis rotating base 3 and the X-axis rotating base 3 relative to the mounting frame 1 by applying force through the lever 2. At the same time, the rotor and stator of the brushless gimbal motor in the corresponding direction will generate a force opposite to the direction of rotation. On the one hand, this opposite force will act on the operator's hand, bringing a sense of operation. On the other hand, this opposite force will cause the lever 2 to reset after the external force of the hand is removed.

[0033] In actual operation, the brushless gimbal motor can also be set so that after the external force of the hand is removed, the rotor of the brushless gimbal motor is fixed relative to the stator, so that the lever 2 can be stopped at will after the operation is turned.

[0034] The X-axis brushless gimbal motor 6 applies a swinging force relative to the mounting bracket 1 along the X-axis rotating base 3, while the Y-axis brushless gimbal motor 4 applies a swinging force relative to the X-axis rotating base 3 along the Y-axis to the lever 2.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the X-axis rotating base 3 includes two straight walls located on opposite sides in the X direction. One straight wall forms the X-axis motor base 33, and the X-axis brushless gimbal motor 6 is mounted on the outer side of the straight wall. The outer side of the other straight wall extends outward to form the X-axis rotating part 32. The X-axis rotating part 32 is connected and fitted with the rotating connection component 5, thereby realizing the rotating mounting layout of the X-axis rotating base 3 relative to the mounting frame 1 based on the X-axis brushless gimbal motor 6.

[0036] The X-axis rotating base 3 includes two outwardly convex arc surfaces 34 located on opposite sides in the Y-axis direction. The Y-axis brushless gimbal motor 4 and the rotating connection assembly 7 are arranged on the inner sides of the outwardly convex arc surfaces 34 on both sides of the X-axis rotating base 3, thereby realizing the rotational installation layout of the lever 2 relative to the X-axis rotating base 3 based on the Y-axis brushless gimbal motor 4.

[0037] In this embodiment, the internal and external spaces of the X-axis rotating base 3 are effectively utilized, and the layout is reasonable and ingenious, resulting in a compact overall structure. This enables the swinging of the mounting frame 1 within a rectangular range by the lever 2.

[0038] The wall surface of the X-axis rotating base 3, which is attached to the mounting bracket 1, is provided with an elongated hole for the lever 2 to pass through and swing relative to it. The elongated hole is arranged along the X-axis to help realize the relative swing of the lever 2 with respect to the X-axis rotating base 3 in the X-axis. The inner edge of the elongated hole extends inward to form a surrounding wall 31, which constitutes a accommodating space for the lever 2 to be fitted.

[0039] In this embodiment, the top surface of the enclosure 31 can be recessed along the X direction to provide clearance and support for the two sides of the lever 2 and the Y-direction brushless gimbal motor 4 and the rotating connection assembly 7.

[0040] The structure of the lever 2 is as follows: it includes a lever part 21, the end of the lever part 21 extends to form a Y-direction motor seat 23, one side of the Y-direction motor seat 23 extends vertically to form a Y-direction rotating part 22, and both sides of the Y-direction motor seat 23 extend laterally to form a flange 24 with the Y-direction rotating part 22 as the center, and the two ends of the flange 24 are turned outward to form a limiting part 25.

[0041] In this embodiment, the lever 2 rotates together with the rotating connection assembly 7 via the Y-axis rotating part 22. The side of the Y-axis motor base 23 facing away from the Y-axis rotating part 22 is fitted with the rotor part of the Y-axis brushless gimbal motor 4. The stator part of the Y-axis brushless gimbal motor 4 is mounted on the X-axis rotating base 3.

[0042] Rotary connecting component 5 and rotary connecting component 7 have the same structure, such as Figure 4 As shown, the structure of the rotating connection assembly 2 7 is as follows: it includes a bracket 72 installed on the X-axis rotating base 3, a rotating shaft 71 is housed inside the bracket 72, the rotating shaft 71 is connected to the lever 2 and rotates together relative to the X-axis rotating base 3; a PCB board 73 is installed on the outer wall of the bracket 72, and the PCB board 73 is pressed and fixed on the bracket 72 by a pressure block 74; a magnetic ring is fitted on the rotating shaft 71, and a detection plate is also included, which detects the actual rotation angle of the magnetic ring.

[0043] In this embodiment, the bracket 72 in the rotating connection assembly 5 is mounted on the mounting frame 1, and the rotating shaft 71 and the X-direction rotating part 32 in the X-direction rotating base 3 are poweredly connected and rotate together relative to the mounting frame 1.

[0044] In this embodiment, the position change of the magnetic ring can be detected by the detection plate, thereby determining the position change of the lever 2 or the X-axis rotating base 3 that is poweredly connected to the corresponding rotating shaft 71, and generating control commands for the external remote-controlled object based on the position change, so as to control the movement of the remote-controlled object.

[0045] The PCB board 73 includes a receiver and a microprocessor. The receiver is used to receive signal feedback from the external remote control object, and the microprocessor controls the operation of the brushless gimbal motor in the corresponding direction.

[0046] In this embodiment, the receiver is communicatively connected to the external remote-controlled object, and can obtain the real-time status information of the remote-controlled object through the receiver. The microprocessor can generate corresponding control commands based on the status information obtained by the receiver.

[0047] This embodiment also proposes a remote control, including a joystick assembly of any of the above.

[0048] In this embodiment, the X-axis brushless gimbal motor 6 and the Y-axis brushless gimbal motor 4 are both existing standard brushless gimbal motor products, selected according to actual parameter requirements.

[0049] The method of using this utility model is as follows:

[0050] The remote control allows users to select and switch the operation state of the joystick components according to actual usage needs, such as selecting the joystick hold or reset button.

[0051] The operator drives the lever 21 of the lever 2 with their hand to operate it. When the operator selects the lever reset button, when the hand applies a force to the lever 2 to swing, the lever 2 swings relative to the mounting frame 1. At the same time, the brushless gimbal motor in the corresponding direction will generate the opposite force. After the hand releases the operation of the lever 2, the lever 2 will automatically return to the center relative to the mounting frame 1. When the operator selects the lever hold button, after the hand releases the operation of the lever 2, the lever 2 will remain in the position relative to the mounting frame 1, realizing the arbitrary stopping of the lever 2 during operation.

[0052] In actual operation, the reaction force generated by the brushless gimbal motor can be adjusted according to actual usage needs, thereby adjusting the magnitude of the reaction force felt by the hand.

[0053] After the lever 2 swings relative to the mounting bracket 1, the magnetic force of the magnetic ring in the corresponding rotating connection component will change. The change is fed back to the PCB board 73 in real time by the detection plate and the signal is transmitted to the external remote control object to realize the control of the driving state of the remote control object.

[0054] The receiver on PCB board 73 receives a signal indicating that the movement of the external remote-controlled object is obstructed. The microprocessor analyzes this signal and sends a command to the corresponding brushless gimbal motor. Upon receiving the command, the brushless gimbal motor increases the reaction force exerted on the finger, allowing the operator to indirectly feel the actual resistance to the remote-controlled object's movement. For example, if the receiver detects that the remote-controlled object is moving in a bumpy state, it can trigger the brushless gimbal motor to rotate slightly in both directions after receiving the command. The operator can then indirectly feel the actual resistance to the remote-controlled object's movement through the vibration of the lever 2.

[0055] The overall structure of this utility model is simplified and the layout is compact, which effectively helps to reduce the size of the remote control and facilitates handheld operation by the user.
