[0002] Existing controllers are typically capable of operating unmanned devices, i.e. drones. Their surface components include operation buttons and displays. To facilitate the display of images captured by the drone in the air, the controller is usually designed with a multi-fold structure. By adding a secondary screen to the controller, the captured images can be displayed from multiple angles, making it easier to operate the drone.

[0003] During use, since the controller is usually used with the drone outdoors, when it is sunny, the sunlight will shine on the display screen on the controller surface. As a result, when the user is observing the display screen and operating the drone, some areas will be unclear. In addition, if the sunlight is too strong, the display screen will be invisible. At this time, the user will use some shields to block the sunlight, but this requires hand support, and it is not convenient to operate the drone with one hand. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problem in the above or existing technology that outdoor sunlight shining on the surface of the display screen prevents users from viewing the images displayed on the screen, this utility model is proposed.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A covering component includes a covering cloth one, with covering cloth two slidably connected to both sides of the covering cloth one. The covering cloth one is disposed on the surface of the controller main body sub-screen. Both the covering cloth one and the covering cloth two are made of polyester. A winding assembly for winding the covering cloth one is provided between the covering cloth one and the controller main body sub-screen. An unfolding assembly for supporting the covering cloth one is provided between the covering cloth one and the controller main body. Limiting assemblies for limiting the unfolding assembly are provided on both sides of the controller main body. An adjusting component includes a lifting assembly slidably connected inside the unfolding assembly. The lifting assembly assists the covering cloth in unfolding at an angle.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the controller with a multi-fold structure of this utility model, the winding assembly includes two connecting seats fixedly connected to the sub-screen position of the controller body, and the surfaces of the two connecting seats are rotatably connected to a rotating shaft, and the covering cloth is fixedly connected to the arc surface of the rotating shaft.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the controller with a multi-fold structure of this utility model, the unfolding component includes sliding seats connected to both sides of the controller body, a sliding rod slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding seat, an extension rod slidably connected to the end of the sliding rod near the first covering cloth, the extension rod and the sliding rod having a telescopic structure, a connecting frame fixedly connected to the end of the extension rod away from the sliding rod, and the connecting frame fixedly connected to the first covering cloth.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the controller with a multi-fold structure of this utility model, the limiting component includes a placement plate fixedly connected to the side wall of the controller body, a plug rod fixedly connected to the surface of the placement plate, and a plug hole opened at one end of the sliding rod near the placement plate, the size of the plug hole being adapted to the size of the plug rod.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the controller with a multi-fold structure of this utility model, wherein: a torsion spring is sleeved on the surface of the rotating shaft, and the two ends of the torsion spring are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft and the connecting seat respectively, and the torsion spring rolls up the covering cloth in its normal state.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the controller with a multi-fold structure of this utility model, the lifting assembly includes a round rod slidably connected to the inner wall of the socket, a push rod slidably connected to the end of the round rod away from the placement plate, the push rod and the round rod are telescopic structures, a rubber block is fixedly connected to the end of the push rod near the extension rod, the cross-section of the rubber block is hexagonal, a spring is sleeved on the surface of the push rod, the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the round rod and the rubber block respectively, and the spring is normally in a compressed state.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the controller with a multi-fold structure of this utility model, wherein: a pressure plate is fixedly connected to one end of the slide rod near the extension rod, and two arc-shaped grooves are formed on the surface of the pressure plate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the controller with a multi-fold structure of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. By using the covering component, the controller body unfolds and the unfolding components work together to help the cover cloth unfold on the upper side of the controller body, which prevents sunlight from shining on the display screen to a certain extent. At the same time, after the cover cloth is unfolded, the side cover cloth can slide and unfold simultaneously to further cover the side sunlight, achieving the effect of blocking outdoor sunlight and ensuring that users can clearly see the display screen image when using the controller to operate the unmanned equipment.

[0015] 2. By adjusting the components, the force of the insert rod inserted into the socket presses against the round rod, causing the round rod to drive the push rod and rubber block to detach from the inner wall of the slide rod. The further compressed spring unfolds, which can drive the rubber block to press against the surface of the extension rod, further pushing the extension rod to slide upward, so that the cover cloth tilts towards the position of the controller main body and the sub-screen. The user does not need to lift the controller main body to a position that is relatively parallel to the line of sight to observe the position image on the display screen and operate the controller.

[0024] 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.

[0025] Example 1, referring to Figures 1-5 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a controller with a multi-fold structure that can achieve the effect of covering sunlight exposure during outdoor use. It includes a covering component, including a first covering cloth, with second covering cloths slidably connected to both sides of the first covering cloth. The first covering cloth is disposed on the surface of the sub-screen of the controller main body. Both the first and second covering cloths are made of polyester. A winding component for winding the first covering cloth is provided between the first covering cloth and the sub-screen of the controller main body. An unfolding component for supporting the first covering cloth is provided between the first covering cloth and the controller main body. Limiting components for limiting the unfolding component are provided on both sides of the controller main body. An adjusting component includes a lifting component slidably connected inside the unfolding component, which is used to assist the covering cloth in unfolding at an angle.

[0026] Specifically, when using the drone outdoors in conjunction with the main controller, the secondary screen of the main controller can be unfolded. The user can then slide the unfolding component to help unfold the cover cloth one onto the surface of the main controller. At the same time, the cover cloth two on the inner wall of the cover cloth one can be slid to the side to unfold. Since both cover cloth one and cover cloth two are made of polyester, their light blocking rate can reach 95% to 99%, which can effectively prevent sunlight from shining on the display screen. At the same time, the limiting component limits the unfolding component, preventing cover cloth one from rolling back. This will also drive the lifting component to start working, which can achieve the effect of supporting the outer side of cover cloth one, causing cover cloth one to tilt towards the secondary screen, thus making it easier for the user to observe the display screen.

[0027] Furthermore, the winding assembly includes two connecting seats fixedly connected to the sub-screen position of the controller body. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the surface of each of the two connecting seats, and the first covering cloth is fixedly connected to the arc surface of the rotating shaft. The unfolding assembly includes sliding seats connected to both sides of the controller body. A sliding rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding seat. An extension rod is slidably connected to the end of the sliding rod near the first covering cloth. The extension rod and the sliding rod are telescopic. A connecting frame is fixedly connected to the end of the extension rod away from the sliding rod. The connecting frame is fixedly connected to the first covering cloth. The limiting assembly includes a placement plate fixedly connected to the side wall of the controller body. An insertion rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the placement plate. An insertion hole is provided at the end of the sliding rod near the placement plate, and the size of the insertion hole matches the size of the insertion rod.

[0028] The rotating shaft can roll up the cover cloth when the controller body is closed, preventing it from scattering and making it easy to carry the controller body. When the cover cloth is in use, sliding the slide bar and extension bar away from the sub-screen can unfold the cover cloth. At the same time, the slide bar can be inserted into the insertion position with the insertion hole, thereby limiting the slide bar. The cover cloth will not move when the user is using the controller body.

[0029] Preferably, a torsion spring is fitted on the surface of the rotating shaft, and the two ends of the torsion spring are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft and the connecting seat respectively. In the normal state, the torsion spring can roll up the covering cloth.

[0030] It should be noted that when the slide bar disengages from the limit position between it and the insertion rod, the torsion spring can drive the covering cloth to return to its original position, eliminating the need for the user to roll up the covering cloth and increasing the convenience of using the covering component.

[0031] When using the drone to capture outdoor scenes with the controller, the foldable controller can be flipped to unfold the secondary screen. The user can then rotate the slider to rotate the sliding base, which is connected to the side of the controller via a circular shaft, allowing for sliding and rotation. When the slider and slider are rotated to a vertical position, the user can pull the slider away from the secondary screen. When the insertion hole at one end of the slider moves to the top of the slider, the user can press the slider, causing the insertion hole to engage and limit the slider and sliding base. This completes the unfolding of the first cover, blocking sunlight from directly illuminating the display screen. Simultaneously, the user can use the protrusions on the surface of the first cover to move the second cover outwards. The controller body is covered by two second-stage cover cloths on both sides, which greatly increases the sun protection effect outdoors. Users will not be unable to see the display screen image, and there is no need for users to use other objects to block the sunlight, which facilitates the operation of the controller outdoors. After the controller body completes the control process of the drone, the controller body will flip and close. At this time, the two second-stage cover cloths need to be pulled inward to hide the second-stage cover cloths inside the first-stage cover cloth. Then, pull the slide bar upward to release the slide bar from the limit of the plug bar. The user can then rotate the slide bar and the sliding seat and operate the slide bar and the sliding seat to slide towards the secondary screen. At the same time, the secondary screen flips down, and the first-stage cover cloth on the surface of the rotating shaft will rotate under the effect of the torsion spring, thereby driving the first-stage cover cloth to achieve the winding operation. When the controller body is closed, the rotating shaft completes the winding of the first-stage cover cloth.

[0032] Example 2, refer to Figures 1-6 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides an adjustment component for a controller with a multi-fold structure based on embodiment 1. This solves the problem that the controller body needs to be moved to a position that is relatively parallel to the display screen when in use. The supporting component includes a round rod that is slidably connected to the inner wall of the socket. A push rod is slidably connected to the end of the round rod away from the placement plate. The push rod and the round rod are telescopic structures. A rubber block is fixedly connected to the end of the push rod near the extension rod. The cross-section of the rubber block is hexagonal. A spring is sleeved on the surface of the push rod. The two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the round rod and the rubber block, respectively. The spring is normally in a compressed state.

[0033] Specifically, when the plug is inserted into the socket, it pushes the round rod, which in turn presses against the push rod to disengage from the inner wall of the slide rod. The spring then unfolds and pushes the extension rod, causing the extension rod to adjust one side of the cover cloth upwards. At this time, the cover cloth is tilted, making it easier for the user to observe the two displays on the surface of the controller.

[0034] Furthermore, a ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide rod, and a limit ring is glued to the surface of the ring. The limit ring is made of rubber, and both sides of the limit ring have chamfered surfaces. A pressure plate is fixedly connected to one end of the slide rod near the extension rod, and the surface of the pressure plate has two arc-shaped grooves.

[0035] It should be noted that the limiting ring can limit the rubber block. When the rubber block is pushed outward by the round rod, the rubber block will press against the position of the limiting ring, and the chamfered surface of the limiting ring will improve the smoothness of discharge. Both sides of the round ring are glued to the limiting ring, which increases the stability of the limiting ring connected to the inner wall of the slide rod. Compared with the side being directly glued to the inner wall of the slide rod, the stability effect is greatly increased.

[0036] In use, when the insert rod is inserted into the socket to limit the position of the slide rod and the sliding seat, the insert rod pushes the round rod on the inner wall of the slide rod. At the same time, the round rod pushes the push rod at its upper end. At this time, the rubber block is pressed and slides towards the opening. After the rubber block is guided out of the inner wall of the slide rod by its own inclined surface and the chamfered surface of the limiting ring, the spring is released from the limiting position, which can drive the push rod to slide from the inner wall of the round rod. At the same time, it can drive the rubber block to abut against the surface of the extension rod to achieve a pushing effect, which can drive the extension rod and one side of the cover cloth to move upward. At this time, the cover cloth can be in a tilted state towards the secondary screen. During use, the user can directly observe the two displays on the surface of the controller body through the tilted cover cloth without having to lift the controller to a position parallel to the line of sight, which facilitates the use of the cover component and the controller body.

[0037] 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.
