Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, specifically to a remote controller. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, existing drone remote controllers typically have different control buttons to enable customized functions. For example, agricultural drone remote controllers often have a rotary dial; rotating the dial controls the spray volume from the drone's nozzles, and the dial automatically returns to center after rotation.

[0003] To achieve the automatic return-to-center function after the impeller rotates, existing technology typically involves installing a tension spring at each end of the impeller, fixed to the housing. However, this automatic return-to-center structure is relatively complex, requiring considerable installation space and being difficult and costly to install and maintain. Utility Model Content

[0043] In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form part of the detailed description and illustrate illustrative specific embodiments in which the present application may be practiced. In this regard, directional terms such as “top,” “bottom,” “left,” “right,” “up,” “down,” etc., are used with reference to the orientation of the described figures. Because components of the embodiments can be positioned in several different orientations, directional terms are used for illustrative purposes and are by no means limiting. It should be understood that other embodiments may be utilized or logical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present application. Therefore, the following detailed description should not be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims.

[0044] This application discloses a remote control. The specific structure of the remote control according to an embodiment of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The remote control 100 includes a housing 10, a rotating component 20, and an elastic component 30. The housing 10 includes a front housing 11 and a rear housing 12. The rear housing 12 has a mounting cavity 121 with an opening 122. The rotating component 20 is disposed within the mounting cavity 121, with at least a portion of it exposed outside the opening 122 for user operation. The portion of the rotating component 20 within the mounting cavity 121 has a vertical mounting portion 21. The elastic component 30 is wound around the mounting portion 21 at its center, and its two ends extend laterally and movably abut against the inner wall of the mounting cavity 121. Thus, when the user operates the rotating component 20, the abutment between the two ends of the elastic component 30 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 121 allows the rotating component 20 to automatically return to its original position when the user releases their grip.

[0046] In this embodiment, the rotating component 20 is a pulsator, and two rotating components 20 are symmetrically arranged at the upper left and right corners of the remote controller 100. The rotating component 20 can be used as an operation button of the drone remote controller to realize custom functions, including but not limited to controlling the spray volume of the nozzle of the agricultural drone.

[0047] In this embodiment, the elastic element 30 is made of stainless steel. In other embodiments, the elastic element may also be made of other elastic materials such as rubber.

[0048] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one specific embodiment, first limiting blocks 123 are integrally formed on the side walls of the mounting cavity 121 near both sides of the opening 122, and the two ends of the elastic member 30 are respectively movably abutting against the first limiting blocks 123.

[0049] Reference Figures 3 to 5In one specific embodiment, the rotating component 20 further includes a rotating part 22 and a contact part 23. The rotating part 22 is disc-shaped and rotatably disposed within the mounting cavity 121. The contact part 23 is semi-annular and fixed to the rotating part 22, with a portion of the contact part 23 exposed outside the opening 122 for user operation. Two second limiting blocks 221 are integrally formed on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating part 22 at intervals. The two second limiting blocks 221 are used to abut against the two first limiting blocks 123 respectively, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the rotating part 22 in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions respectively.

[0050] It should be noted that in other embodiments, only one second limiting block may be provided. By the limiting cooperation of one second limiting block and two first limiting blocks, the rotation angle of the rotating part in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions can also be limited.

[0051] Continue to refer to Figures 3 to 5 In one specific embodiment, a third limiting block 211 is integrally formed on the mounting part 21. When the middle part of the elastic member 30 is sleeved on the mounting part 21, the surfaces of the third limiting block 211 and the rotating part 22 form a clamping effect on the elastic member 30, and the third limiting block 211 axially limits the elastic member 30 to prevent the elastic member 30 from shifting.

[0052] In one specific embodiment, notches are provided on the lower sides of both ends of the contact portion 23, thereby forming grooves 231 between the two ends of the contact portion 23 and the surface of the rotating portion 22. The two ends of the elastic member 30 extend to both sides through the grooves 231 and movably abut against the first limiting block 123. Thus, the contact portion 23 can limit the two ends of the elastic member 30 through the grooves 231 to prevent the elastic member 30 from shifting.

[0053] Continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one specific embodiment, the remote controller 100 further includes a cover plate 40, which is adapted to the mounting cavity 121 and is used to cover and seal the mounting cavity 121.

[0054] In one specific embodiment, the remote controller 100 further includes a waterproof component 50, which is circumferentially disposed on the cover plate 40 and used to seal the splicing gap between the cover plate 40 and the inner wall of the rear shell 12. Since the mounting cavity 121 has an opening communicating with the external environment, by providing the waterproof component 50, liquids or dust from the external environment can be prevented from entering the interior of the remote controller 100 through the mounting cavity 121, thereby ensuring the dryness and dust-free environment inside the remote controller 100 and improving the service life of some electronic components inside the remote controller 100.

[0055] In this embodiment, the waterproof component 50 is waterproof silicone.

[0056] In one specific embodiment, the remote controller 100 further includes a magnetic induction element 60, a sensor 70, and a controller (not shown in the figure). The mounting portion 21 has a boss 212, and the magnetic induction element 60 is fixed to the boss 212 via a connecting layer (not shown in the figure). The sensor 70 is disposed on the cover plate 40 and is used to sense the rotation state of the magnetic induction element 60, thereby sensing the rotation state of the user-operated rotating component 20. The controller is disposed inside the remote controller 100 and is electrically connected to the sensor 70. It is used to generate control commands based on the rotation state of the magnetic induction element 60, thereby realizing customized functions.

[0057] In this embodiment, the connecting layer is an adhesive layer, and the magnetic induction element 60 is a magnet.

[0058] In this embodiment, sensor 70 is a Hall sensor. When the user operates the rotating component 20, the rotating component 20 generates angular displacement. The Hall sensor 70 can sense the angular displacement of the rotating component 20, thereby generating control commands through the controller to remotely control the drone to perform a series of actions.

[0059] In summary, this application proposes a remote control 100. By fitting an elastic element 30 onto the mounting portion 21 of the rotating component 20, and utilizing the abutting cooperation between the two ends of the elastic element 30 and the first limiting block 123, the rotating component 20 can automatically return to its original position. This return structure is simpler, employs a non-fixed installation, and is easy to install and maintain, with lower costs. A magnetic induction element 60 is provided on the rotating component 20, and a sensor 70 is provided on the cover plate 40. By sensing the rotational state of the magnetic induction element 60, the sensor 70 can detect the rotational state of the rotating component 20, thereby generating control commands for the user to operate the rotating component 20. A waterproof element 50 is provided on the cover plate 40, which can seal the joint between the cover plate 40 and the inner wall of the housing 10, preventing liquid from flowing into the remote control 100 through the opening 122 from the mounting cavity 121, ensuring the dryness of the sensor 70 and some electronic components inside the housing 10, and improving their service life.

In this way, this application also aims to cover such modifications and alterations if they fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents. The word "comprising" does not exclude the presence of other elements or steps not listed in the claims.
