Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of drone remote control brackets, specifically to an external bracket for a drone remote control device. Background Technology

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are unmanned aircraft that can be controlled by a remote controller. They are characterized by their small size, light weight, flexible operation, and high safety, and are widely used in aerial photography, inspection, search and rescue, and resource exploration. UAV remote controllers are typically equipped with external brackets to support external devices such as displays or mobile terminals, allowing operators to easily view real-time footage captured by the UAV.

[0003] Currently, traditional drone remote control external brackets have limited functionality, only providing simple clamping for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. During drone operation, the weight of the remote control and the mobile device is entirely borne by the operator's hand. Over long periods of operation, the hand is under continuous stress, and the wrist joint is in a state of tension, which can easily lead to wrist strain. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model proposes an external bracket for a drone remote control device. The bracket uses an innovative combination of an ergonomic wearable structure and adaptive clamping, and utilizes a connecting waist belt and a supporting shoulder strap to form a dual-point load-bearing structure that provides abdominal support and shoulder assistance. This changes the traditional method of relying solely on the hands to bear the weight of the drone remote control and mobile terminal, effectively reducing hand pressure.

[0005] Therefore, the technical solution adopted is as follows:

[0006] An external bracket for a drone remote control device includes a wearable mechanism. The wearable mechanism includes an arc-shaped plate that conforms to the abdomen of a human body. A connecting belt is fixedly connected to each side of the arc-shaped plate, and the other ends of the two connecting belts are fastened together by buckles. A support shoulder strap is fixed to each of the two connecting belts. The support shoulder strap is adjustablely connected to the connecting belts by a D-ring buckle. A support mechanism for placing the drone remote control is fixed to the front of the arc-shaped plate, and a clamping mechanism for placing a mobile terminal is fixed to the front of the support mechanism.

[0007] A further technical solution is that the supporting mechanism includes a supporting plate, a fixed plate perpendicular to the supporting plate is fixed on one side of the supporting plate, and a movable plate is slidably connected to the other side. A positioning block is fixed to the supporting plate at the end where the movable plate is located. A screw is threaded through the positioning block, and the end of the screw is rotatably connected to the movable plate.

[0008] A further technical solution is that an installation plate is fixed to the bottom of the support plate, an installation block is fixed to the arc plate, the installation block has a through hole that matches the installation plate, the installation plate passes through the through hole and is locked and fixed by a locking bolt.

[0009] A further technical solution is that the clamping mechanism includes an L-shaped plate, a clamping plate is slidably connected to the L-shaped plate, the clamping plate is arranged parallel to the short side of the L-shaped plate, and a spring is connected between the L-shaped plate and the clamping plate.

[0010] A further technical solution is that a sliding block is fixed at the bottom of the clamping plate, a connecting plate parallel to the clamping plate is fixed on the sliding block, a groove matching the sliding block is opened on the L-shaped plate, the sliding block is inserted into the groove, a support plate parallel to and opposite to the connecting plate is fixed at the bottom of the L-shaped plate, and multiple springs are located between the connecting plate and the support plate.

[0011] The working principle and beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0012] 1. This bracket uses an innovative combination of ergonomic wearable structure and adaptive clamping, and utilizes the connection waist belt and supporting shoulder strap to form a dual-point load-bearing structure with abdominal support and shoulder assistance. This distributes the weight of the entire device to the abdomen, shoulders and other parts, changing the traditional way of relying solely on the hands to bear the weight of the drone remote controller and mobile terminal. It effectively reduces hand pressure and the risk of wrist joint strain, making it suitable for scenarios where drones are operated for extended periods of time.

[0013] 2. Both the support mechanism and the clamping mechanism can adjust the size of their working space, thus allowing for stable connection and fixation of both devices regardless of their size, even if the drone remote control device and the mobile terminal are not limited by their dimensions.

[0022] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an external bracket for a drone remote control device includes a wearable mechanism 1. The wearable mechanism 1 includes an arc-shaped plate 11 that conforms to the abdomen of a human body. A connecting belt 12 is fixedly connected to each side of the arc-shaped plate 11, and the other ends of the two connecting belts 12 are fastened together by buckles. A supporting shoulder strap 14 is fixed to each of the two connecting belts 12. The supporting shoulder strap 14 is adjustablely connected to the connecting belt 12 by a D-ring buckle 13. A support mechanism 2 for placing the drone remote control is fixed to the front of the arc-shaped plate 11, and a clamping mechanism 3 for placing a mobile terminal is fixed to the front of the support mechanism 2.

[0024] In this embodiment, the user places the curved plate 11 against the abdomen, and then fastens and locks it around the waist using the waist belts 12 connected on both sides, ensuring that the curved plate 11 stably abuts against the abdomen and forms the main load-bearing support point. Then, the support shoulder strap 14 passes through the D-ring buckle 13. By pulling or loosening the support shoulder strap 14, the length of the support shoulder strap 14 can be adjusted using the sliding position of the D-ring buckle 13, so that the support shoulder strap 14 comfortably sits on both shoulders, distributing some of the weight to the shoulders and preventing the waist from bearing the load alone. Next, the drone remote controller is placed on the support mechanism 2 and fixed in place. In addition, a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone or tablet, is placed on the clamping mechanism 3 and clamped securely, so that the operator can observe the real-time captured images of the drone through the mobile terminal while operating the drone remote controller.

[0025] The device features a dual-point load-bearing structure that combines abdominal support and shoulder assistance by connecting the waist belt 12 with the supporting shoulder belt 14. This distributes the weight of the device to the abdomen, shoulders, and other parts, changing the traditional method of relying solely on the hands to bear the weight of the drone remote controller and mobile terminal. This effectively reduces hand pressure and the risk of wrist strain, making it suitable for scenarios where drones are operated for extended periods.

[0026] It should be noted that the pair of connecting belts 12 can be fastened together by Velcro back buckles, so that the pair of connecting belts 12 can wrap around the waist and lock it in place.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the support mechanism 2 includes a support plate 21. A fixed plate 22 perpendicular to the support plate 21 is fixed on one side, and a movable plate 23 is slidably connected to the other side. A positioning block 24 is fixed to one end of the support plate 21 where the movable plate 23 is located. A screw 25 is threaded through the positioning block 24, and the end of the screw 25 is rotatably connected to the movable plate 23.

[0028] In this embodiment, the drone remote controller is placed on the support plate 21, with one side of the drone remote controller abutting against the fixed plate 22. The screw 25 is rotated, and when the screw 25 rotates, it pushes the movable plate 23 to slide along the top of the support plate 21 until the movable plate 23 is tightly fitted with the other side of the drone remote controller, thereby achieving the clamping operation of remote controllers of different widths.

[0029] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a mounting plate 26 is fixed to the bottom of the support plate 21, and a mounting block 15 is fixed on the arc plate 11. The mounting block 15 has a through hole that matches the mounting plate 26. The mounting plate 26 passes through the through hole and is locked and fixed by a locking bolt 16.

[0030] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 26 at the bottom of the support plate 21 passes through the through hole on the mounting block 15 on one side of the arc plate 11, and then the locking bolt 16 is threaded onto one side of the mounting block 15. By tightening the locking bolt 16, the support mechanism 2 is firmly installed on the wearing mechanism 1. The height of the drone remote controller on the support mechanism 2 can be adjusted by controlling the vertical height of the mounting block 15, making it convenient for people of different heights to use.

[0031] like Figures 5-6As shown, the clamping mechanism 3 includes an L-shaped plate 31, on which a clamping plate 32 is slidably connected. The clamping plate 32 is parallel to the short side of the L-shaped plate 31, and a spring 35 connects the L-shaped plate 31 and the clamping plate 32. A sliding block 33 is fixed to the bottom of the clamping plate 32, and a connecting plate 34 parallel to the clamping plate 32 is fixed to the sliding block 33. A groove matching the sliding block 33 is formed on the L-shaped plate 31, and the sliding block 33 is inserted into the groove. A support plate 36 parallel to and opposite to the connecting plate 34 is fixed to the bottom of the L-shaped plate 31. Multiple springs 35 are located between the connecting plate 34 and the support plate 36.

[0032] In this embodiment, by pulling the clamping plate 32, the sliding block 33 is simultaneously driven to slide in the groove, and the connecting plate 34 compresses the spring 35, thereby increasing the distance between the clamping plate 32 and the vertical part of the L-shaped plate 31, providing sufficient placement space for the mobile terminal. Then, the mobile terminal is placed on the horizontal surface of the L-shaped plate 31, with the bottom of the terminal abutting against the vertical part of the L-shaped plate 31 to ensure accurate positioning. Subsequently, the pulling of the clamping plate 32 is released, and the clamping plate 32 is reset under the elastic force of the spring 35, forming a bidirectional clamping force on the mobile terminal.

[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
