[0047] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0048] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This application provides a remote control device 100, which includes a base station body 10 and two joystick control modules 20.

[0049] The base station body 10 includes a housing 11 and a wireless communication module 12 and a control module (not shown in the figure) disposed on the housing 11. The housing 11 has an installation area 14 for the mobile control terminal 200, so as to realize a detachable connection with the mobile control terminal 200. The wireless communication module 12 is used to realize signal transmission. Two joystick control modules 20 are detachably installed at one end of the housing 11, and the joystick control modules 20 can be electrically connected to the control module.

[0050] The aforementioned remote control device 100 can control the flight of a drone by installing a mobile control terminal 200 on the base station body 10; or it can be controlled by the joystick 23 after installing two joystick control modules 20 on the base station body 10. Thus, the remote control device 100 has different control methods to meet different user needs.

[0051] The mobile control terminal 200 can be a mobile phone or tablet computer, etc. When mounting the mobile control terminal 200 onto the housing 11, a connection hole 111 can be provided on the housing 11. For example, please refer to... Figure 6 The housing 11 includes a panel 17. Removing the panel 17 exposes the connection hole 111. The mobile control terminal 200 is connected via a mounting bracket that mates with the connection hole 111, enabling detachable installation of the mobile control terminal 200. By providing the panel 17, the connection hole 17 is shielded when the mobile control terminal 200 is removed, preventing dust and impurities from entering and improving the overall aesthetics of the remote control device 100. In other embodiments, the panel 17 may be omitted, thereby reducing the materials used in the remote control device 100, simplifying installation steps, and lowering production costs.

[0052] Furthermore, when the installation area 14 of the mobile control terminal 200 is provided on the housing 11, the installation area 14 of the mobile control terminal 200 and the wireless communication module 12 can be located on the same side or different sides of the housing 11, which can achieve the installation of the wireless communication module 12 and the mobile control terminal 200.

[0053] Specifically, in order to make full use of the installation space of the housing 11, the installation area 14 of the mobile control terminal 200 and the wireless communication module 12 are located on both sides of the thickness direction of the housing 11, that is, the installation area 14 is located on the first side 15 of the housing 11, and the wireless communication module 12 is located on the second side 16 of the housing 11. The first side 15 and the second side 16 are arranged opposite to each other, and the two joystick control modules 20 are located at both ends of the width direction of the housing 11, so that the installation space in each direction of the housing 11 can be fully utilized.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 The wireless communication module 12 in this embodiment includes a data transmission module 121 and a signal transmission module 122. The data transmission module 121 is used to transmit data with the drone, such as information about the scene captured. The signal transmission module 122 is used to transmit signals to achieve flight control of the drone.

[0055] In some embodiments, the data transmission module 121 may be a link module, a Wi-Fi module, a 4G / 5G / 6G communication module, etc., and the signal transmission module 122 may be a 4G / 5G / 6G module, a Zigbee module, a LoRa module, etc.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the data transmission module 121 is configured as a link module and the signal transmission module 122 is configured as a 4G module, so that the 4G network can be used when the drone is blocked by mountains or tall buildings.

[0057] Please see Figure 7 When installing the link module and the 4G module, the housing 11 includes a mounting part 112 and a rear cover 113. The mounting part 112 is provided with a receiving cavity 114. The link module is detachably disposed in the receiving cavity 114, and the 4G communication module is detachably installed in the rear cover 113, so that the link module and the 4G are detachably connected, which makes it convenient for users to replace them according to their own needs.

[0058] Understandably, the remote control device 100 in this embodiment also includes at least one antenna 30, which is electrically connected to the link module for transmitting and receiving signals.

[0059] Please see Figures 1 to 6 In one embodiment of this utility model, in order to facilitate the use of the entire remote control device 100, at least one side of the housing 11 is provided with a mounting hole 117. The mounting hole 117 is used to connect with an external support structure. Thus, when the remote control device 100 needs to be supported by an external structure, such as being placed on a tripod, the mounting hole 117 can be provided at the bottom of the remote control device 100. After the mounting hole 117 and the tripod are installed, the remote control device 100 can be set at a certain height for easy operation.

[0060] When setting the mounting hole 117, it can be set at the bottom of the housing 11, or at the bottom and top of the housing 11, or at the left and right sides of the housing 11, or the mounting hole 117 can be set on all sides of the housing 11, so that the user can selectively use the mounting hole 117 for installation as needed.

[0061] Specifically, the mounting portion 112 of this embodiment is provided with the aforementioned receiving space 118.

[0062] Or in another embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5When the remote control device 100 is not supported by an external support structure, in order to facilitate the placement of the remote control device 100 on the support surface, the housing 11 is also provided with a receiving space 118; the remote control device 100 also includes a support foot 60, and the support foot 60 and the rotatable receiving space 118 are configured so that when in the unfolded state, they can be supported on the support surface together with the housing 11; and when in the hidden state, they can be received in the receiving space 118. For example, in one embodiment, the support foot 60 and the side wall of the receiving space 118 have damping force to realize the rotation of the support foot 60 at any angle; or the support foot 60 is rotatably configured through a pivot and the side wall of the receiving space 118 to realize the unfolding or hiding of the support foot 60.

[0063] Further, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 To facilitate the handling of the entire remote control device 100, the remote control device 100 can also be equipped with a handle 50, which is rotatably mounted on the housing 11. The remote control device 100 can be picked up by pulling the handle 50. When not in use, the handle 50 can be rotated to the side of the housing 11, such as to the rear, to avoid interfering with the use of the mobile control terminal 200.

[0064] To facilitate the detachable installation of the joystick control module 20 and the base station body 10, the remote control device 100 also includes two pairs of magnetic components (not shown in the figure) to facilitate the positioning of the joystick control module 20 on the base station body 10. Each pair of magnetic components corresponds to one joystick control module 20 and one end of the housing 11. The magnetic components include a first magnetic element and a second magnetic element that attract each other. One end of the housing 11 is provided with the first magnetic element, and the joystick control module 20 is provided with the second magnetic element. Thus, when the joystick control module 20 needs to be installed at the end of the base station body 10, the attraction between the first and second magnetic elements attracts the joystick control module 20 to the predetermined installation position on the base station body 10, facilitating the quick installation of the joystick control module 20 and improving installation convenience. It can be understood that the ends of the first and second magnetic elements facing each other have opposite magnetic poles, thereby achieving the effect of mutual attraction.

[0065] Understandably, when installing the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component, the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component can be exposed on the corresponding mounting shell or hidden inside the corresponding mounting shell, and both can achieve the effect of mutual attraction.

[0066] Further, please refer to Figure 3 as well as Figures 5 to 7The housing 11 is provided with a first positioning structure 115, and the joystick control module 20 is provided with a second positioning structure 21. The first positioning structure 115 and the second positioning structure 21 are inserted and cooperated with each other in a magnetic attraction manner. At the same time, the joystick control module 20 and the base station body 10 are prevented from shifting through the insertion and cooperation of the first positioning structure 115 and the second positioning structure 21.

[0067] In one embodiment, the first positioning structure 115 can be configured as a positioning post and the second positioning structure 21 can be configured as a positioning groove; or the first positioning structure 115 can be configured as a positioning groove and the second positioning structure 21 can be configured as a positioning post, both of which can achieve the insertion and engagement between the two.

[0068] Understandably, in order to achieve rapid alignment and insertion between the first positioning structure 115 and the second positioning structure 21, a first magnetic component is provided corresponding to the first positioning structure 115, and a second magnetic component is provided corresponding to the second positioning structure 21. Thus, when the first and second magnetic components attract each other, the insertion and engagement between the first positioning structure 115 and the second positioning structure 21 can be achieved simultaneously. In other embodiments, the magnetic component and the positioning structure can also be provided separately according to space requirements or molding requirements.

[0069] Please see Figures 3 to 7 In one embodiment of this utility model, in order to ensure the stability of the joystick control module 20 installed on the base station body 10, the end of the housing 11 is provided with a first connecting structure 116, and the remote control device 100 also includes two second connecting structures 22. A second connecting structure 22 is provided on a joystick control module. The second connecting structure 22 and the first connecting structure 116 are detachably connected. Thus, through the positioning cooperation between the two positioning structures and the attraction between the two magnetic parts, the stability of the joystick control module 20 installed on the base station body 10 is ensured by the connection between the first connecting structure 116 and the second connecting structure 22.

[0070] In one embodiment, the first connecting structure 116 can be configured as a slot, and the second connecting structure 22 can be configured as a deformable snap-fit ​​structure. When the joystick control module 20 and the base station body 10 are aligned, the snap-fit ​​structure deforms and snaps onto the slot wall, thereby realizing the installation of the joystick control module 20.

[0071] Specifically, for ease of connection, the first connection structure 116 in this embodiment is a screw hole; the second connection structure 22 includes a roller 221 and a screw 222 disposed on the roller 221. The screw 222 and the screw hole are threadedly connected. Thus, by rotating the roller 221, the screw 222 can be quickly driven to move closer to or away from the screw hole, thereby quickly realizing the installation of the joystick control module 20 and the base station body 10.

[0072] In this embodiment, the second connecting structure 22 is positioned on opposite sides of the mounting shell of the joystick control module 20, along with the joystick 23, thereby preventing the placement of the second connecting structure 22 from affecting the operation of the joystick 23.

[0073] Understandably, after the joystick control module 20 is installed on the base station body 10, it needs to be electrically connected to the control module inside the base station body 10. Therefore, a second interface 24 can be set on the joystick control module 20 and a first interface 18 can be set on the base station body 10. Thus, after the joystick control module 20 is installed on the base station body 10, the first interface 18 and the second interface 24 are electrically connected, thereby realizing signal transmission between the joystick control module 20 and the base station body 10.

[0074] Furthermore, in order to improve the usability of the entire remote control device 100, the mobile control terminal 200 can be installed and used without disassembling the joystick control module 20. In this embodiment, the joystick 23 is detachably connected to the joystick control module 20. After the joystick 23 is disassembled, the installation of the mobile control terminal can be avoided, thus avoiding the repeated disassembly and assembly of the joystick control module 20 and further improving the usability of the entire remote control device 100.

[0075] The aforementioned remote control device 100, by making the joystick control module 20 and the base station body 10 detachably connected, allows the joystick control module 20 to be installed on the base station body 10 when the joystick 23 is needed for control; when the mobile control terminal 200 is needed to control the drone, the joystick control module 20 can be disassembled, and the mobile control terminal 200 can be installed on the housing 11 of the base station body 10 through the bracket of the mobile control terminal 200. In this way, users can install and use it according to their preferences; by providing magnetic components and positioning structures on the joystick control module 20 and the base station body 10 respectively, it is easy to assemble the joystick control module 20 on the base station body 10; by providing a handle 50 and a support foot 60, the entire joystick control module 20 is easy to use.

[0076] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
