[0001] This application relates to the field of remote control devices, and more particularly to a drone remote control handle with a light prompt function. Background Technology

[0002] In keeping with the times, drones have spread across various fields, and their applications are constantly emerging. Drones are generally controlled via remote control handles, which communicate with the drone. However, currently available remote control handles lack operator feedback, especially during nighttime operation, making it impossible for the operator to perceive the drone's flight attitude by observing the handle.

[0018] The technical effects and advantages of this application are as follows:

[0019] This application proposes to install a light strip module in the joystick module of the remote control handle and select the operating mode of the light strip module through the control panel.

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] Furthermore, in the application, the terms "first," "second," and other similar words are not intended to imply any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different elements, and the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and other similar words are merely positional relationships in the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a drone remote control handle with light prompt function includes: a shell 1, a control panel 2, a joystick module 3, and a light strip module 4. The control panel 2 and the joystick module 3 are both fixedly mounted on the shell 1. There are two joystick modules 3, which are symmetrically arranged along the central plane of the shell 1. The control panel 2 is located in front of the two joystick modules 3, and the entire control panel 2 is symmetrically arranged along the central plane of the shell 1. There are two light strip modules 4, which are respectively located at the two joystick modules 3, and the light strip modules 4 are fixedly connected to the shell 1. The control panel 2 includes several buttons, each button corresponding to activating a certain operating mode of the light strip module 4.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the light strip module 4 is ring-shaped and is sleeved on the rocker module 3.

[0031] In one embodiment of this application, the light strip module 4 includes twelve groups of LED lights, each group of LED lights containing one red, one green and one blue LED bead.

[0032] For example, in one embodiment of this application, the control panel 2 includes six buttons;

[0033] Correspondingly, the light strip module 4 has six operating modes, including:

[0034] Mode 1: Three colors of LED beads emit light simultaneously, and the light intensity of the LED beads changes with the operation of the joystick;

[0035] Mode 2: Only red LED beads emit light;

[0036] Mode 3: Only green LED beads emit light;

[0037] Mode 4: Only blue LED beads emit light;

[0038] Mode 5: Any two colors of LED beads emit light intermittently and alternately;

[0039] Mode 6: All LED beads are powered off.

[0040] To enable the LED strip module 4 to operate in six different modes, such as Figure 3 As shown in one embodiment of this application, a drone remote control handle with a light prompt function further includes: an MCU module, the MCU module including a processor and a memory, the memory storing a plurality of processor-executable programs.

[0041] The MCU module also includes a signal acquisition port for acquiring electrical signals emitted by the control panel 2 and the joystick module 3.

[0042] In one embodiment of this application, the control panel 6 can send six control signals, the memory stores six programs, and the six control signals correspond one-to-one with the six programs. The control behaviors performed by the processor when executing the programs include:

[0043] The three colors of LED beads are powered on simultaneously, and the light intensity of the LED beads changes with the operation of the joystick;

[0044] Only the red LED beads are powered;

[0045] Only the green LED beads are powered;

[0046] Only the blue LED beads are powered;

[0047] Intermittently alternate power supply to LED beads of any two colors;

[0048] All LEDs are powered off.

[0049] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, an amplifier circuit is used to implement the circuit control of the LED beads by the MCU. Each color of the LED bead corresponds to an amplifier circuit. The base of the amplifier circuit is connected to the output port of the MCU. Furthermore, all LED beads of each color are connected in series to the collector of an amplifier circuit. That is, for LED beads of three different colors, namely red, green and blue, there are three amplifier circuits in this embodiment.

[0050] like Figure 5As shown, a circuit with a variable resistor is connected in parallel in the base of the aforementioned amplifier circuit, and the variable resistor is integrated into the rocker module 3. The resistance value of the variable resistor is adjusted by the rocker in the rocker module 3. In this way, when implementing mode one, only the power supply circuit with the variable resistor is powered on, and the resistance value of the variable resistor changes with the rocker. When the current of the base is changed by the rocker, the current of the collector changes. In this way, the luminous intensity of the LED bead can be changed with the operation of the rocker.

[0051] In one embodiment of this application, the variable resistors in the three amplifier circuits are R1, R2, and R3, and the LED beads in the three amplifier circuits are D1, D2, and D3, respectively. In the initial state of the rocker module 3, the resistance of R1 is at its rated minimum value, and the resistances of R2 and R3 reach their rated maximum values. When the rocker moves forward or backward, the resistance of R1 increases, and the resistance of one of R2 and R3 decreases. When the rocker moves left or right, the resistance of R1 increases, and the other resistance of R2 and R3 decreases. Thus, the luminous intensity of the LED beads is as follows: in the initial state, D1 emits light at its maximum rated intensity, and D2 and D3 do not emit light. When the rocker moves forward or backward, the luminous intensity of D1 gradually weakens until it is extinguished, and the luminous intensity of one of D2 and D3 gradually increases. When the rocker moves left or right, the luminous intensity of D1 gradually weakens until it is extinguished, and the luminous intensity of the other of D2 and D3 gradually increases.

[0052] It should be noted that in the above embodiment, the LED beads are provided with three colors. It is conceivable that the number of LED beads with different colors can be even greater, thereby enabling more refined operation prompt functions. For example, four different colored beads can be set for the four flight directions of the aircraft: forward, backward, left, and right. When the aircraft turns, a mixed light of two different colors is used for prompting. As the turning angle increases, the output power ratio of the two different colored beads changes accordingly. Similarly, different types of light prompts can be added for operations such as taking pictures, photography, acceleration, deceleration, ascent, and descent.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
