[0040] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0041] The following is for reference. Figures 1-6 This application describes a remote control according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0042] The remote control includes: the remote control body 100 and the joystick 200.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upper surface of the remote control body 100 has a rotation control unit 130, which can be connected to a joystick 200 during use. The user changes the control signal of the rotation control unit 130 by moving the joystick 200, and then transmits the command to the drone through the control signal to control the drone's flight direction or attitude. When not in use, the joystick 200 can be removed from the rotation control unit 130.

[0044] Please see Figure 3 The front end face of the remote control body 100 is recessed to form a joystick compartment 110, and the joystick compartment 110 can be correspondingly embedded with a joystick 200.

[0045] The number of joystick compartments 110, joysticks 200, and rotation control units 130 should be the same. In actual operation, there may be two joystick compartments 110, and the two joysticks 200 are arranged symmetrically about the center between the two joystick compartments 110.

[0046] Please see Figure 4 The joystick 200 includes a first segment 210, a second segment 220, and a third segment 230 connected in sequence; wherein, the end of the joystick 200 held by the user and to which force is applied is the first segment 210; the end of the joystick 200 connected to the rotation control unit 130 is the third segment 230, and the volume of the first segment 210 is larger than the volume of the third segment 230.

[0047] The first segment 210 is disposed in the first receiving groove 111 and abuts against the bottom surface of the first receiving groove 111; the second segment 220 abuts against the support portion 120; and the third segment 230 is disposed in the second receiving groove 112 and has a gap 113 between it and the bottom surface of the second receiving groove 112.

[0048] In the above embodiments of this application, when the joystick 200 is inside the joystick compartment 110, the outer circular surface of the first segment 210 smoothly transitions with the outer shell of the remote control. This not only ensures the aesthetic appearance of the overall remote control, but also reduces the space occupied by the joystick on the outside of the remote control body 100, making it convenient for users to carry with them.

[0049] Please see Figure 5 When the joystick 200 needs to be removed from the joystick compartment 110, the user applies force to the third segment 230 and rotates the third segment 230 toward the bottom surface of the second receiving groove 112. During this process, the support part 120 acts as a fulcrum and abuts against the second segment 220. At the same time, the end of the first segment 210 that is away from the first receiving groove 111 is raised and can be placed outside the first receiving groove 111. This ensures that the process of removing the joystick is more convenient and improves the user experience.

[0050] In actual execution, when the third segment 230 rotates to abut against the bottom surface of the second receiving groove 112, the end of the first segment 210 that is away from the first receiving groove 111 is outside the first receiving groove 111.

[0051] In actual implementation, the support portion 120 abuts against one end of the second segment 220 near the first segment 210; and / or, the support portion 120 abuts against the center of the rocker arm 200.

[0052] In some embodiments, the joystick 200 is a thumb control lever, and the end face of the first segment 210 is recessed inward to form a thumb placement recess 211.

[0053] In this embodiment, the end of the first segment 210 facing away from the first receiving groove 111 is raised and exposed outside the first receiving groove 111, allowing the user to insert their finger into the thumb placement recess 211 for easier removal of the joystick 200. Specifically, the groove of the thumb placement recess 211 may be provided with multiple notches 212, which can increase the friction when the finger grips, ensuring a more secure grip. Furthermore, the multiple notches 212 create a structure where the end of the first segment 210 has alternating protrusions between the notches 212. When removing the joystick 200 from the joystick compartment 110, pressing the third segment 230 further facilitates the use of the notches 212 on the raised end of the first segment 210 to pry out the joystick 200 with finger pressure.

[0054] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the remote control body 100 has a rotation control part 130; the end of the third segment 230 away from the first segment 210 is detachably connected to the rotation control part 130. Specifically, the rotation control part 130 is provided with a screw 131; the third segment 230 is recessed in the side wall away from the rocker arm compartment 110 to form a threaded hole 231 that can be connected to the screw 131.

[0055] Please see Figure 6 In actual implementation, the first segment 210 is provided with multiple anti-slip textures 213 around its circumference. The multiple anti-slip textures 213 of the first segment 210 increase the friction when the user holds it, so that the user can firmly grasp the first segment 210 when moving the rocker arm 200 and it is not easy to slip.
