[0002] With the rapid development of drone technology, drones are increasingly being used in aerial photography, agriculture, logistics, surveying and mapping, and other fields. As the core device for controlling drones, the functionality and ease of use of the drone remote controller directly impact the user experience.
[0003] Existing drone remote controllers typically use physical buttons or switches to turn the drone on and off, requiring users to manually press the switch or button to start or stop the remote. While this method is simple and direct, it can be inconvenient in certain situations. For example, when users need to frequently turn the remote on and off, manual operation may increase the burden of use; or in emergency situations, manual operation may delay the drone's start-up or shutdown.
[0004] Furthermore, as drone applications become more diverse and complex, users' demands for intelligent remote controllers are constantly increasing. Automatic power-on / off functionality, as part of this intelligent feature, can improve the ease of use and user experience. However, currently, automatic power-on / off functionality is not yet available in the drone remote controller field, and users still need to rely on manual operation to turn the drone on and off.

[0030] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
[0031] As disclosed in the background section, existing drone remote controllers typically use physical buttons or switches to power on / off, requiring users to manually press the switch or button to start or stop the remote controller. While this method is simple and direct, manual operation can increase the burden of use when users need to frequently turn the remote controller on and off; or in emergency situations, manual operation may delay the start-up or shutdown of the drone. Embodiments of this application provide a drone remote controller capable of automatic power on / off.
[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The drone remote controller provided in the embodiments of this application includes a fixed frame 100, a remote controller body 200, and an electromagnet 300. The remote controller body 200 is disposed on the fixed frame 100 and has an on / off switch 210. The electromagnet 300 includes an electromagnet body 310 and a spindle 320 movably disposed through the electromagnet body 310. The electromagnet body 310 is used to drive the spindle 320 to move toward the on / off switch 210 when energized.
[0033] When the remote control body 200 is in the off state, pressing the power button 210 will turn the remote control body 200 on; when the remote control body 200 is in the on state, pressing the power button 210 will turn the remote control body 200 off.
[0034] The electromagnet body 310 can be powered by an external power source via a relay. When the electromagnet body 310 is energized, it drives the spindle 320 to move toward the switch 210.
[0035] When the drone remote controller needs to be turned on, the electromagnet body 310 is powered by an external power source. When the electromagnet body 310 is powered on, it drives the spindle 320 to move toward the power switch 210. The power switch 210 is then pressed to complete the power-on process. When the drone remote controller needs to be turned off, the electromagnet body 310 is powered on again by an external power source. When the electromagnet body 310 is powered on, it drives the spindle 320 to move toward the power switch 210 again. The power switch 210 is then pressed to complete the power-off process. This achieves automatic power-on and power-off for the drone remote controller.
[0036] In this embodiment, an elastic pressure block 321 is provided at the end of the spindle 320 facing the switch 210.
[0037] By providing an elastic pressure block 321 at one end of the spindle 320 facing the switch 210, when the spindle 320 moves toward the switch 210, the elastic pressure block 321 contacts and presses the switch 210, which is less likely to cause damage to the switch 210.
[0038] In this embodiment, the elastic pressure block 321 is made of polyurethane material.
[0039] Polyurethane is a high-performance elastic material, and the elastic block 321 made from it causes minimal damage to the switch 210 when it comes into contact with the switch 210. In other embodiments, the elastic block 321 may also be made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) or rubber, and there is no limitation thereto.
[0040] In this embodiment, a reset spring is provided inside the electromagnet body 310. The reset spring is connected to the spindle 320 to drive the spindle 320 to reset.
[0041] When the electromagnet body 310 is energized, the electromagnet body 310 drives the spindle 320 to move toward the switch 210. After the elastic block 321 presses down the switch 210 to turn the machine on or off, the electromagnet body 310 is de-energized, and the spindle 320 is reset under the action of the return spring.
[0042] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 100 includes a first bracket 110 and a second bracket 120 connected to each other. The remote control body 200 is disposed on the first bracket 110, and the electromagnet body 310 is disposed on the second bracket 120.
[0043] The remote control body 200 is supported on the first bracket 110, and the bottom of the remote control body 200 is fixed to the first bracket 110 by bolts. The power switch 210 is located on the front of the remote control body 200, and the second bracket 120 is roughly Z-shaped and extends away from the front of the remote control body 200.
[0044] In this embodiment, the first bracket 110 and the second bracket 120 are detachably connected.
[0045] For example, the detachable connection methods of the first bracket 110 and the second bracket 120 include, but are not limited to, screwing, bonding or snap-fit connection.
[0046] In this embodiment, the second support 120 includes a first plate 121, a second plate 122, and a connecting plate 123 connected between the first plate 121 and the second plate 122. The first plate 121 and the connecting plate 123, as well as the second plate 122 and the connecting plate 123, are perpendicular to each other. The first plate 121 is connected to the electromagnet body 310, and the second plate 122 is connected to the first support 110.
[0047] The first plate 121 and the second plate 122 are parallel to each other. The second plate 122 is located on the side of the remote control body 200, and the first plate 121 extends toward the front away from the remote control body 200.
[0048] By configuring the second bracket 120 to include a first plate 121, a second plate 122, and a connecting plate 123 connected between the first plate 121 and the second plate 122, it is convenient to connect to the first bracket 110 on the one hand, and convenient to align the spindle 320 in the electromagnet 300 with the switch 210 on the other hand.
[0049] In this embodiment, a first through hole 1211 is provided on the first plate 121, and a second through hole 1221 is provided on the second plate 122. A first screw (not shown) is provided on the first plate 121, and a second screw (not shown) is provided on the second plate 122. The first screw passes through the first through hole 1211 and is connected to the electromagnet body 310, and the second screw passes through the second through hole 1221 and is connected to the first bracket 110.
[0050] Optionally, there are two first through holes 1211 and two second through holes 1221, and correspondingly, there are two first screws and two second screws; the two first screws pass through the two first through holes 1211 respectively and are connected to the electromagnet body 310, and the two second screws pass through the two second through holes 1221 respectively and are connected to the first bracket 110.
[0051] It is understandable that the number of the first through hole 1211 and the second through hole 1221 can be more than three, and the number of the first screw and the second screw can also be more than three; there is no limitation on this.
[0052] In this embodiment, both the first through hole 1211 and the second through hole 1221 are oblong holes, and the extension direction of the first through hole 1211 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the second through hole 1221.
[0053] When both the first through hole 1211 and the second through hole 1221 are oblong holes, the extension direction of the first through hole 1211 is the height direction of the remote control body 200, and the extension direction of the second through hole 1221 is the width direction of the remote control body 200.
[0054] Since both the first through hole 1211 and the second through hole 1221 are oblong holes, during the installation of the electromagnet body 310, the position of the electromagnet body 310 can be adjusted along the height and width directions of the remote control body 200 until the relative height and relative distance between the elastic pressure block 321 and the switch 210 are adjusted to a suitable state.
[0055] In this embodiment, at least one reinforcing rib 124 is provided between the first plate 121 and the connecting plate 123, and between the second plate 122 and the connecting plate 123.
[0056] Optionally, along the height direction of the remote control body 200, two reinforcing ribs 124 are provided between the first plate 121 and the connecting plate 123, and two reinforcing ribs 124 are provided between the second plate 122 and the connecting plate 123, so that deformation is less likely to occur between the first plate 121 and the connecting plate 123 and between the second plate 122 and the connecting plate 123.
[0057] It is understandable that the number of reinforcing ribs 124 between the first plate 121 and the connecting plate 123, and between the second plate 122 and the connecting plate 123, can be one or more, and there is no limitation on this.
[0058] This application embodiment provides a drone remote controller with the following working principle: When the drone remote controller needs to be turned on, an external power source powers the electromagnet body 310. Under this powered state, the electromagnet body 310 drives the spindle 320 to move towards the power switch 210 until the power switch 210 is pressed down by the elastic block 321, completing the power-on process. Then, the power to the electromagnet body 310 is de-energized, and the spindle 320 resets under the action of the return spring. When the drone remote controller needs to be turned off, an external power source powers the electromagnet body 310 again. Under this powered state, the electromagnet body 310 drives the spindle 320 to move towards the power switch 210 again until the power switch 210 is pressed down by the elastic block 321, completing the power-off process. Then, the power to the electromagnet body 310 is de-energized, and the spindle 320 resets under the action of the return spring, thus achieving automatic power-on and power-off for the drone remote controller.
[0059] In summary, this application provides a drone remote controller, which includes a mounting frame 100, a remote controller body 200, and an electromagnet 300. The electromagnet 300 includes an electromagnet body 310 and a spindle 320 movably disposed within the electromagnet body 310. When the drone remote controller needs to be turned on or off, the electromagnet body 310 is energized by an external power source. In the energized state, the electromagnet body 310 drives the spindle 320 to move toward the power switch 210 until the power switch 210 is pressed by the elastic pressure block 321 to complete the power-on or power-off operation, thereby realizing the automatic power-on and power-off of the drone remote controller.
