[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned equipment flight control technology, and in particular to a control device for controlling the flight of unmanned equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Unmanned equipment such as drones and unmanned aerial vehicles are mainly controlled by a controller and a control joystick. The ease of disassembly and assembly of the joystick and the reliability of the connection directly affect the operating efficiency and safety of the equipment.

[0003] In existing technologies, the connection between the joystick and the main body of the unmanned equipment controller is mostly fastened with bolts. Although the connection is secure, disassembly and assembly require tools, making the operation cumbersome and slow to respond in emergency repair or replacement scenarios. Some use a single snap-on connection, which can achieve quick disassembly and assembly, but the snap-on is prone to loosening due to wear or vibration after long-term use. Especially when subjected to accidental external force or equipment vibration during operation, it is easy to accidentally fall off, causing the control signal to be interrupted, leading to the risk of the unmanned equipment going out of control, and seriously affecting the safety of use. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems of complicated connection process and inconvenient disassembly and assembly between joystick and controller in the above or existing technology, this utility model is proposed.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a quick-release mechanism, which includes a controller body and a rocker arm, a first insert block is fixedly provided at the lower end of the rocker arm, a fixing block for quick installation is inserted into the lower end of the first insert block, and a snap-fit ​​limiting component for quick disassembly and installation is provided on the first insert block;

[0006] The secondary fixing mechanism includes a vertical sliding groove formed in the middle of the first insert block, an M-shaped limiting groove for quick engagement and disengagement fixedly provided at the lower end of the vertical sliding groove, an insertion limiting component for insertion and fixing provided in the inner cavity of the M-shaped limiting groove, and telescopic components for secondary downward pressure and disengagement provided around the insertion limiting component.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the control device for controlling the flight of unmanned equipment according to the present invention, wherein: the locking and limiting component includes a horizontal sliding groove opened laterally at the upper end of the first insert block, two copper coin blocks are fixedly arranged at both ends of the opening of the horizontal sliding groove, a first compression spring is fixedly arranged on the side of the copper coin blocks that is far away from each other, and a small steel ball is fixedly arranged on the side of the first compression spring that is far away from the copper coin blocks and is locked and fixed to the fixed block.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the control device for controlling the flight of unmanned equipment according to this utility model, the small steel ball is fixedly provided with a trapezoidal back block on one side of the first compression spring, and the trapezoidal back block is slidably connected to the copper coin block with the opening in the middle.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the control device for controlling the flight of unmanned equipment according to this utility model, the upper end of the inner cavity of the fixed block is provided with two semi-circular limiting grooves, the semi-circular limiting grooves are the same as the small steel ball structure and are mutually engaged and limited.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the control device for controlling the flight of unmanned equipment according to this utility model, the plug-in limiting assembly includes a pendulum hook slidably disposed in the inner cavity of the M-shaped limiting groove, and a second plug block is rotatably disposed at the upper end of the pendulum hook and fixedly connected to the lower surface of the rocker arm.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the control device for controlling the flight of unmanned equipment according to the present invention, the telescopic component includes a spiral groove formed on the upper end of the first insert block, a spiral insert plate slidably disposed in the inner cavity of the spiral groove, and a second compression spring fixedly disposed at the lower end of the spiral insert plate and fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the spiral groove.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the control device for controlling the flight of unmanned equipment according to this utility model, the upper surface of the second compression spring is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the rocker arm, thereby enabling the rocker arm to achieve secondary downward pressure, thereby separating the pendulum hook from the M-shaped limiting groove.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the control device of this utility model for controlling the flight of unmanned equipment, the second insert block can abut against the trapezoidal back block after being inserted into the vertical sliding groove, thereby fixing the small steel ball.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model's control device for controlling the flight of unmanned equipment are as follows:

[0015] 1. The quick-release mechanism uses a snap-fit ​​limiting component to push the small steel ball into the semi-circular limiting groove of the fixed block by the first compression spring, which can quickly install the rocker arm without the need for tools; when disassembling, only a pulling force needs to be applied, and the small steel ball will be squeezed and retracted to separate it, which simplifies the disassembly and assembly process and effectively improves the operation response speed.

[0016] 2. The system utilizes a dual limiting mechanism consisting of a quick-release mechanism and a secondary fixing mechanism. Initial fixation is achieved through the small steel ball in the quick-release mechanism and the semi-circular limiting groove. The secondary fixing mechanism, through the engagement of the pendulum hook with the M-shaped limiting groove and the abutment of the small steel ball by the second insert block, forms a double safety barrier. This effectively prevents the joystick from accidentally falling off due to wear and tear from long-term use, equipment vibration, or accidental contact with external forces, ensuring stable transmission of control signals, significantly reducing the risk of unmanned equipment going out of control, and improving operational safety.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Example 1, referring to Figures 1-6This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a control device for controlling the flight of unmanned equipment, which can achieve the effect of quickly connecting and separating the joystick from the controller body. It includes a quick-release mechanism, which includes a controller body 10 and a joystick 11. A first insert block 12 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the joystick 11. A fixing block 13 for quick installation is inserted into the lower end of the first insert block 12. A snap-fit ​​limiting component 14 for quick disassembly and installation is provided on the first insert block 12. The snap-fit ​​limiting component 14 includes a transverse sliding groove 141 opened laterally at the upper end of the first insert block 12. Two copper coin blocks 142 are fixedly installed at both ends of the opening 141. A first compression spring 143 is fixedly installed on the side of the copper coin blocks 142 that is far away from each other. A small steel ball 144 is fixedly installed on the side of the first compression spring 143 that is far away from the copper coin blocks 142 and is engaged with the fixing block 13. A trapezoidal back block 145 is fixedly installed on the side of the small steel ball 144 located on the first compression spring 143. The trapezoidal back block 145 is slidably inserted into the opening in the middle of the copper coin blocks 142. Two semi-circular limiting grooves 16 are opened at the upper end of the inner cavity of the fixing block 13. The semi-circular limiting grooves 16 have the same structure as the small steel ball 144 and are engaged with each other for limiting.

[0027] Specifically, the small steel ball 144 is guided and limited by the opening in the middle of the copper coin block 142 and the trapezoidal back block 145 sliding against each other. The small steel ball 144 is moved by the first compression spring 143, so that when the small steel ball 144 is inserted into the inner cavity of the fixing block 13 along with the first insert block 12, the small steel ball 144 will retract into the inner cavity of the horizontal sliding groove 141. Then, when it is engaged with the semi-circular limiting groove 16, it is pushed out by the first compression spring 143. When the two are engaged, an audible sound can be emitted to remind the operator that the engagement is complete.

[0028] In use, firstly, the first insert 12, which is fixed at the lower end of the rocker arm 11, is aligned with the upper opening of the fixed block 13 and inserted. During the insertion process, the small steel ball 144 will abut against the opening of the fixed block 13 and squeeze the first compression spring 143, and then retract into the inner cavity of the horizontal slide groove 141. When the small steel ball 144 moves with the first insert 12 to the position of the semi-circular limiting groove 16, under the guidance of the trapezoidal back block 145 and the inner opening of the copper coin block 142 and the rebound action of the first compression spring 143, the small steel ball 144 is pushed out of the openings on both sides of the horizontal slide groove 141, thereby achieving the locking and limiting with the semi-circular limiting groove 16.

[0029] Example 2, refer to Figures 1-6This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides a secondary fixing mechanism for the control device used to control the flight of unmanned equipment, which solves the problem of accidental separation of the joystick from the controller body due to misoperation. It includes a secondary fixing mechanism, which includes a vertical sliding groove 20 opened in the middle of the first insert block 12. The lower end of the vertical sliding groove 20 is fixedly provided with an M-shaped limiting groove 21 for quick engagement and disengagement. The inner cavity of the M-shaped limiting groove 21 is provided with an insertion limiting component 22 for insertion and fixing. The insertion limiting component 22 is surrounded by a telescopic component 23 for secondary downward separation. The insertion limiting component 22 includes a pendulum hook 221 slidably disposed in the inner cavity of the M-shaped limiting groove 21. The upper end of the pendulum hook 221 is rotatably provided with a second insert block 222 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the joystick 11.

[0030] Specifically, the telescopic component 23 includes a loop groove 231 opened on the upper end of the first insert block 12. A loop insert plate 232 is slidably arranged in the inner cavity of the loop groove 231. A second compression spring 233 is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the loop insert plate 232 and fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the loop groove 231. The upper surface of the second compression spring 233 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the rocker arm 11, so that the rocker arm 11 can be pressed down twice, thereby separating the pendulum hook 221 from the M-shaped limiting groove 21. After the second insert block 222 is inserted into the vertical sliding groove 20, it can abut against the trapezoidal back block 145 and thus fix the small steel ball 144.

[0031] Furthermore, when the second insert 222 moves downward with the rocker arm 11, it will push the pendulum hook 221 to be inserted into one of the entrances of the M-shaped limiting groove 21. Then, with the help of the guide groove corresponding to the entrance, it will engage with the M-shaped groove at the end of the M-shaped limiting groove 21. By setting the U-shaped insert plate 232 and the second compression spring 233, the rocker arm pendulum hook 221 and the second insert 222 can engage with the M-shaped limiting groove 21 and limit it when moving downward for the first time, and separate from the M-shaped limiting groove 21 when moving downward for the second time.

[0032] In use, when the rocker arm 11 drives the first insert block 12 to insert into the fixed block 13 and the small steel ball 144 and the semi-circular limiting groove 16 mutually limit each other, the rocker arm 11 is pushed again, causing the rocker arm 11 to push the second insert block 222 and the U-shaped insert plate 232 to continue to move downward. As the second insert block 222 moves downward, it will insert between the two copper coin blocks 142 and abut against the two trapezoidal back blocks 145, thereby preventing the small steel ball 144 from being pulled out by the operator due to force and retracting, which would cause the rocker arm 11 to separate from the controller body 10. When the second insert block 222 moves downward, it will drive the pendulum hook 221 to move downward together. The pendulum hook 221 will enter from one of the entrances of the M-shaped limiting groove 21 and continue to move downward until the two are locked together.

[0033] At the same time, as the loop insert 232 moves downward with the rocker arm 11, it will compress the second compression spring 233, but only compress the second compression spring 233 by half of its stroke. At this time, the second compression spring 233 supports the rocker arm 11 through its cooperation with the loop insert 232, so that it can move downward for the second time and push the pendulum hook 221 to unlock from the M-shaped limiting groove 21. When the rocker arm 11 moves downward again, the pendulum hook 221 will disengage from the M-shaped opening at the bottom of the M-shaped limiting groove 21. Then, the rocker arm 11 is pulled upward to move the pendulum hook 221 out from the other opening of the M-shaped limiting groove 21.

[0034] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
