Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control terminals, and in particular to a portable UAV control terminal. Background Technology
[0002] A drone control terminal is a device used to control and operate a drone. It integrates a control system and operating system, and is typically equipped with a display screen to allow operators to monitor the drone's status in real time and send commands. The control terminal can process various sensor data from the drone, such as position, speed, and attitude, and adjust the drone's flight status accordingly to perform tasks such as takeoff, landing, hovering, and routed flight. It also has flight safety features, activating appropriate safety protection mechanisms when abnormal situations are detected. Drone control terminals come in various forms, including dedicated remote controls and general-purpose devices such as mobile phones and computers, communicating and controlling the drone through specific software.
[0003] While current drone control terminals are convenient for portable use, the lack of protective measures during transport makes them vulnerable to damage. Accidental impacts or pressure can cause cracks or shattered screens. For example, sharp objects placed in a backpack may puncture the protective glass of the screen. Friction with other objects can also scratch the screen. Items like keys and pens can leave scratches on the screen, affecting display clarity, interfering with viewing flight parameters and images, and even malfunctioning the display. This ultimately impacts the normal operation of the drone control terminal. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a portable unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control terminal that can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A portable unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control terminal includes a UAV control terminal body. A touchscreen display is provided on the top surface of the UAV control terminal body. A protective mechanism is provided on the top surface of the touchscreen display, and the protective mechanism includes a protective plate, a fixed rod, a spring, a movable rod, a pressing rod, a connecting rod, an L-shaped rod, and a limiting rod. The protective plate is movably connected between the side plates on both sides of the touchscreen display on the top surface of the UAV control terminal body via sliders on both sides. Fixed rods are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the top surface of the protective plate. The spring is sleeved on the outside of the fixed rod, and the movable rod is movably connected to the fixed rod through connecting holes on the side wall. Concave blocks are fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the movable rod and to both ends of the pressing rod, and the connecting rod is movably connected between the concave blocks via rotating rods at both ends. The L-shaped rod is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the movable rod, and the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the vertical part of the L-shaped rod.
[0007] Preferably, side plates are fixedly installed on the top surface of the UAV control terminal body and on the left and right sides of the touch screen, and grooves are respectively opened on the opposite walls of the left and right symmetrical side plates.
[0008] Preferably, a set of symmetrical fixing blocks are fixedly installed on the top surface of the side plate, and limit holes are provided on the side wall of the fixing blocks.
[0009] Preferably, the top front end of the protective plate has a set of symmetrical horizontal openings, and a fixing rod is fixedly installed inside the horizontal opening. A spring is fitted on the outside of the fixing rod, and the outer end of the spring is fixedly installed together with one end wall of the inner side of the horizontal opening. A movable rod is fixedly installed on the inner end of the spring, and a connecting hole is opened below the side wall of the movable rod, which is movably installed together with the fixing rod through the connecting hole.
[0010] Preferably, concave blocks are fixedly installed on the upper inner wall of the movable rod and at the left and right ends of the pressing rod, and rotating holes are respectively opened on both sides of the inner wall of the concave block. A set of symmetrical rotating rods are fixedly installed at the left and right ends of the connecting rod, and the rotating rods are movably installed in the rotating holes.
[0011] Preferably, an L-shaped rod is fixedly installed above the outer side wall of the movable rod, and a limiting rod corresponding to the limiting hole is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the vertical part of the L-shaped rod.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] In this invention, the protective mechanism, in conjunction with the use of the drone control terminal, allows for portable use of the drone control terminal. Pressing the pressing rod pushes the movable rod outward via the connecting rod, causing the movable rod to move along the fixed rod through the connecting hole. This forces the spring to contract, causing the limiting rod on the vertical part of the L-shaped rod to move out of the limiting hole on the side wall of the fixed block behind the top surface of the side plate. Then, the protective plate moves forward via the concave block, allowing it to slide between the side plates via the sliders on both sides, covering the top surface of the touch screen. Releasing the pressing force on the pressing rod causes the spring to elastically extend, pushing the movable rod inward. The movable rod drives the L-shaped rod to move synchronously until the limiting rod is inserted into the side wall of the front fixed block. The protective plate can be fixed to the top of the touch screen through the defined limiting holes, thus protecting the touch screen from cracks, shattering, and scratches caused by collisions or pressure during transport, as well as from friction with other objects. When the operator needs to use the drone control terminal, they can quickly remove the protective plate to clearly view flight parameters, images, and other information on the touch screen without being affected by display clarity issues. When transporting the drone, the protective plate can be quickly closed to protect the touch screen. This enhances the safety of the touch screen without affecting the normal operation of the drone control terminal, ensuring the normal display function of the touch screen.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0020] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a portable drone control terminal includes a drone control terminal body 1. A touchscreen display 2 is provided on the top surface of the drone control terminal body 1. A protective mechanism 3 is provided on the top surface of the touchscreen display 2. The protective mechanism 3 includes a protective plate 8, a fixing rod 11, a spring 12, a movable rod 13, a pressing rod 17, a connecting rod 18, an L-shaped rod 20, and a limiting rod 21. The protective plate 8 is movably connected between the side plates 4 on both sides of the touchscreen display 2 on the top surface of the drone control terminal body 1 via sliders 9 on both sides. Fixed rods 11 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the top surface of plate 8, spring 12 is sleeved on the outside of fixed rods 11, and movable rod 13 is movably connected to fixed rod 11 through connecting hole 14 on side wall. Concave blocks 15 are fixedly connected to the inner side wall of movable rod 13 and both ends of pressing rod 17, and connecting rod 18 is movably connected between concave blocks 15 through rotating rods 19 at both ends. L-shaped rod 20 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of movable rod 13, and limiting rod 21 is fixedly connected to the vertical part of L-shaped rod 20.
[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, side plates 4 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the UAV control terminal body 1 and on the left and right sides of the touch screen 2, and grooves 5 are respectively opened on the opposite walls of the left and right symmetrical side plates 4. The grooves 5 opened on the side walls of the side plates 4 are used to cooperate with the slider 9 to achieve sliding operation of the protective plate 8.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, a set of symmetrical fixing blocks 6 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the side plate 4, and a limit hole 7 is opened on the side wall of the fixing block 6. The limit hole 7 opened on the side wall of the fixing block 6 is used to cooperate with the limit rod 21 to realize the limit fixing operation of the protective plate 8.
[0023] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the top front end of the protective plate 8 has a set of symmetrical horizontal openings 10, and a fixed rod 11 is fixedly installed inside the horizontal opening 10. A spring 12 is fitted on the outside of the fixed rod 11, and the outer end of the spring 12 is fixedly installed with one end wall of the inner side of the horizontal opening 10. A movable rod 13 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the spring 12, and a connecting hole 14 is opened on the lower side wall of the movable rod 13. The movable rod 13 is movably installed with the fixed rod 11 through the connecting hole 14. When the movable rod 13 is pushed, it will move through the connecting hole 14 on the side wall along the fixed rod 11 in the horizontal opening 10, and force the spring 12 fitted on the fixed rod 11 to perform a tightening operation.
[0024] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, concave blocks 15 are fixedly installed on the upper inner wall of the movable rod 13 and at the left and right ends of the pressing rod 17, and rotating holes 16 are respectively opened on both sides of the inner wall of the concave block 15. A set of symmetrical rotating rods 19 are fixedly installed at the left and right ends of the connecting rod 18, and the rotating rods 19 are movably installed in the rotating holes 16. Pressing the pressing rod 17 will cause the rotating rods 19 at both ends of the connecting rod 18 to rotate in the rotating holes 16 opened on the concave blocks 15 installed at one end of the movable rod 13 and the pressing rod 17, and the angle formed between the symmetrical connecting rods 18 gradually increases to provide a pushing force for the movable rod 13.
[0025] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an L-shaped rod 20 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the outer wall of the movable rod 13, and a limiting rod 21 corresponding to the limiting hole 7 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the vertical part of the L-shaped rod 20. As the movable rod 13 moves, the limiting rod 21 on the vertical part of the L-shaped rod 20 moves or moves in and out of the limiting hole 7, so as to limit and fix the protective plate 8 or release the fixation restriction.
[0026] The specific operating principle of the protective mechanism 3 in conjunction with the UAV control terminal body 1 is as follows:
[0027] When carrying and using the UAV control terminal body 1, press down the pressing rod 17 located above the protective plate 8. As the pressing rod 17 moves downward, the connecting rod 18 is movably installed in the rotating holes 16 on both sides of the concave block 15 installed at one end of the movable rod 13 and the inner wall of the concave block 15, which is mounted on both ends of the movable rod 13 via rotating rods 19 at both ends. Therefore, the connecting rod 18 will tilt, and the angle formed between the left and right symmetrical connecting rods 18 will gradually increase, pushing the movable rod 13 outward. This causes the movable rod 13 to move through the connecting hole 14 on the side wall and along the horizontal opening 10 on the top surface of the protective plate 8 through the fixed rod 11. During the process, the spring 12 mounted on the fixed rod 11 will be forced to tighten. At the same time, the L-shaped rod 20 installed on the outer wall of the movable rod 13 will move synchronously with the movement of the movable rod 13 until the limiting rod 21 installed on the inner wall of the vertical part of the L-shaped rod 20 moves out of the limiting hole 7 opened on the side wall of the fixed block 6 installed behind the top surface of the side plate 4, keeping the pressing force on the pressing rod 17 unchanged, and pushing the protective plate 8 forward through the pressing rod 17. The sliders 9 on both sides of the protective plate 8 will slide in the grooves 5 opened on the inner wall of the side plate 4 installed on both sides of the touch screen 2 on the top surface of the UAV control terminal body 1, continuously pushing the protective plate 8 until the protective plate 8 completely covers it. After pressing the top surface of the touch screen 2 and preventing the protective plate 8 from being pushed further, release the pressure on the pressing rod 17. At this time, the spring 12 will elastically extend and push the movable rod 13 inward, causing the connecting rod 18 to tilt and increase the included angle. As the L-shaped rod 20 moves inward with the movable rod 13, the limiting rod 21 will be inserted into the limiting hole 7 opened on the side wall of the fixing block 6 in front of the top surface of the side plate 4. In this way, the protective plate 8 can be fixed to the top surface of the touch screen 2 to protect the touch screen 2, thereby effectively preventing the touch screen 2 from cracking or breaking due to collision or squeezing during carrying, as well as other damage. The issue of scratches caused by friction affecting normal use is addressed by the fact that when the operator needs to use the drone control terminal 1, pressing the lever 17 and pushing the protective plate 8 upwards exposes the touch screen 2. The operator continues until the protective plate 8 can no longer be pushed, then releases the lever 17 to fix the protective plate 8 in place. This allows for quick removal of the protective plate 8, enabling clear viewing of flight parameters, images, and other information on the touch screen 2 without being affected by display clarity issues. Therefore, this provides protection for the touch screen 2 and enhances its safety without affecting the normal operation of the drone control terminal 1, thus ensuring the normal display function of the touch screen 2.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
