Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic technology, and in particular to a remote control for model aircraft. Background Technology

[0002] Existing model aircraft remote controllers are mainly used for ground-based remote control of model aircraft / drones. The controller typically only has joysticks, levers, and basic status indicators; it does not integrate a display terminal (such as a monitor or mobile phone) that can be directly viewed from above or in front of the controller. To ensure the normal operation of flight missions, operators usually equip themselves with an external display terminal to obtain real-time images or maps / telemetry information.

[0003] Currently, to enable in-flight viewing, the common practice is to temporarily attach a terminal mount or independent handheld / tripod support to the remote controller. To position the terminal for easy observation, it typically needs to be raised and extended above or in front of the remote controller; however, to maintain handheld stability and a continuous line of sight, the terminal's orientation and distance from the viewpoint often need to be fixed in front of the viewpoint. Due to the limitations of existing mounts, which are mostly single-axis or non-foldable straight-arm structures and not integrated with the remote controller, the following issues arise: the mount extends outwards during use, taking up space and potentially interfering with the control area; when not in use, it is difficult to store on-site, often requiring disassembly and assembly or occupying a large volume, resulting in unsatisfactory portability and switching efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a model aircraft remote controller to solve the above problems.

[0005] An embodiment of this application provides a model aircraft remote controller, including: a housing, wherein the back of the housing is provided with a mounting area;

[0006] A foldable terminal mounting mechanism is disposed in the mounting area, and the foldable terminal mounting mechanism includes a fixed base plate, a folded support arm, and a terminal mounting plate;

[0007] A first rotatable connection is provided between the fixed base plate and the zigzag support arm, and a second rotatable connection is provided between the distal end of the zigzag support arm and the terminal mounting plate.

[0008] The axes of rotation of the first rotatable connection and the second rotatable connection are parallel to each other, and the zigzag support arm is a plate-shaped piece with at least one bent section.

[0009] In at least one embodiment of this application, the first rotatable connection and the second rotatable connection are respectively composed of a first side plate and a second side plate disposed opposite to each other and a through fastener, and the connected member is clamped between the first side plate and the second side plate to form a rotatable fit.

[0010] In at least one embodiment of this application, the first rotatable connection is disposed in the leading edge region of the fixed substrate.

[0011] In at least one embodiment of this application, the zigzag arm is provided with a bent outward displacement section between the first rotary connection and the second rotary connection, and the convex direction of the bent outward displacement section points to the outside of the housing.

[0012] In at least one embodiment of this application, the second rotatable connection is disposed on one side edge of the terminal mounting plate near the zigzag support arm.

[0013] In at least one embodiment of this application, the terminal mounting plate is a perforated plate having a plurality of mounting holes.

[0014] In at least one embodiment of this application, the zigzag arm includes at least a first straight segment and a second straight segment that are angled to each other and connected in sequence, and the bend segment is formed at the junction of the first straight segment and the second straight segment.

[0015] In at least one embodiment of this application, a bearing back plate is provided on the back mounting area of ​​the housing, the upper end of the bearing back plate forms a mounting surface that mates with the fixed base plate, and a plurality of through holes for connection are provided on the mounting surface.

[0016] In at least one embodiment of this application, the supporting back plate is provided with an abutment block facing the housing.

[0017] In at least one embodiment of this application, the edge of the fixed substrate is provided with fastening holes for connection with the housing.

[0018] The aforementioned model aircraft remote controller employs a three-section structure—fixed base plate, folded arm, and terminal mounting plate—with a foldable mechanism located in the mounting area on the back of the housing. Two parallel rotatable connections are established between the base plate and the arm, and between the arm and the terminal plate. The arm is a plate-like component with a bending section, allowing the terminal to unfold and fold along the same plane with a large stroke, and enabling independent angle fine-tuning at the end. The bending section provides geometric avoidance of the movement path while maintaining a thin profile. Thus, the device achieves stable terminal installation, easy attitude adjustment, and compact storage without interfering with operation, solving the practical problem of existing remote controllers where the terminal struggles to achieve both visual installation and convenient storage.

[0025] The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0026] It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may also have an intervening component. When a component is considered to be "placed" on another component, it can be directly placed on the other component or may also have an intervening component. The terms "top," "bottom," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "back," and similar expressions used in this article are for illustrative purposes only.

[0027] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 4This application discloses a model aircraft remote controller 100, including a housing 10, with a mounting area 11 formed on the back of the housing 10; a foldable terminal mounting mechanism 20 is disposed in the mounting area 11, and the foldable terminal mounting mechanism 20 is formed by a series chain of a fixed base plate 21, a zigzag support arm 22, and a terminal mounting plate 23 in a direction from the back of the housing 10 to the front, the fixed base plate 21 is fixed on the mounting area 11 and serves as the fixed end and positioning reference surface of the foldable terminal mounting mechanism 20; a first rotatable connection 30 is disposed between the fixed base plate 21 and the zigzag support arm 22, located at the front-facing edge of the fixed base plate 21, and one end of the zigzag support arm 22 is rotatably connected to the fixed base plate 21 through the first rotatable connection 30; a second rotatable connection 31 is disposed between the zigzag support arm 22 and the terminal mounting plate. Between 23, on the side adjacent to the terminal mounting plate 23 at the far end of the folded arm 22, the terminal mounting plate 23 is rotatably connected to the folded arm 22 via the second rotary connection 31; the rotation axes of the first rotary connection 30 and the second rotary connection 31 are parallel to each other and extend in the same direction, so that the opening, closing and angle adjustment of the foldable terminal mounting mechanism 20 are limited to being completed in the same geometric plane; the folded arm 22 is a plate-shaped folded piece, and at least one bending outward displacement section 40 is provided between the first rotary connection 30 and the second rotary connection 31, so that the folded arm 22 forms a geometric fold in this section, thereby forming a first straight segment near the first rotary connection 30 and a second straight segment near the second rotary connection 31, with the second straight segment being offset in the plane relative to the first straight segment.

[0029] Furthermore, when the foldable terminal mounting mechanism 20 rotates around the first rotating connection 30, the folded support arm 22 generates an angular displacement relative to the fixed substrate 21 in the same plane, causing the terminal mounting plate 23 to swing in a large stroke from the storage position close to the fixed substrate 21 to the use position away from the fixed substrate 21 in the same plane; when rotating around the second rotating connection 31, the terminal mounting plate 23 generates an angular displacement relative to the folded support arm 22 in the same plane, so as to achieve end posture adjustment based on the above-mentioned large stroke swing; during the folding back from the use position to the storage position, the terminal mounting plate 23 first rotates around the second rotating connection 31 relative to the folded support arm 22 to an in-plane posture closer to the folded support arm 22, and then folds back around the first rotating connection 30 relative to the fixed substrate 21 to the area close to the fixed substrate 21. The bending outward displacement section 40 is located between the two rotating connections and provides an in-plane misalignment in the above-mentioned unfolding and folding paths, so that the terminal mounting plate 23 maintains a gap with the shell 10 on the unfolding path and forms a regular stack close to the fixed substrate 21 on the folding path.

[0030] It should be noted that the housing 10 is a handheld housing, the mounting area 11 is a back mounting plane, the fixed base plate 21 is a plate-shaped component and is fixedly connected to the mounting area 11, the folded support arm 22 is a plate-shaped folded component and is provided with at least one bending outward displacement section 40, the terminal mounting plate 23 is a plate-shaped end component, and the axis of rotation of the first rotating connection 30 and the second rotating connection 31 are arranged parallel to each other on the same side of the foldable terminal mounting mechanism 20, thereby completing the unfolding, end adjustment and folding back in the same geometric plane.

[0031] In one specific embodiment, the first rotating connection 30 adopts a clamping structure consisting of a first side plate 301 arranged opposite to each other and a through fastener 32: the first side plate 301 is arranged on both sides of the front edge of the fixed base plate 21, and the through fastener 32 passes through the corresponding through holes of the first side plate 301 and the folded support arm 22 in sequence along the rotation axis direction of the first rotating connection 30, so that the folded support arm 22 is clamped between the two first side plates 301, and forms a rotatable engagement with the first side plate 301 with the through fastener 32 as the rotation axis, thus forming the hinge part of the first rotating connection 30.

[0032] Furthermore, the second rotary connection 31 also adopts a clamping structure consisting of opposing second side plates 311 and through fasteners 32: the second side plates 311 are located on both sides of the far end of the folded support arm 22, and the through fasteners 32 pass through the corresponding through holes of the second side plates 311 and the terminal mounting plate 23 in sequence along the rotation axis direction of the second rotary connection 31, so that the terminal mounting plate 23 is clamped between the two second side plates 311, and forms a rotatable engagement with the second side plates 311 with the through fasteners 32 as the rotation axis, thus forming the hinge part of the second rotary connection 31.

[0033] In one specific embodiment, the first rotating connection 30 is disposed in the front edge region of the fixed substrate 21, that is, in the edge band of the fixed substrate 21 facing the folded arm 22 and its adjacent plate band: the first side plates 301 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the front edge of the fixed substrate 21, and the inner side of the first side plates 301 is adjacent to the front edge of the fixed substrate 21; the through fastener 32 passes through the corresponding through holes of the first side plates 301 and the end of the folded arm 22 in sequence along the rotation axis direction of the first rotating connection 30, so that the end of the folded arm 22 is clamped between the two first side plates 301 to form a rotating fit; the axis of the through fastener 32 is located in the adjacent band of the front edge of the fixed substrate 21 and is parallel to the rotation axis of the second rotating connection 31; accordingly, the rotation center of the folded arm 22 relative to the fixed substrate 21 is determined to be at the front edge position of the fixed substrate 21, and the bent outward displacement section 40 of the folded arm 22 between the first rotating connection 30 and the second rotating connection 31 is located on the front side of the fixed substrate 21.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, the zigzag support arm 22 is integrally provided with a bent outward displacement section 40 between the first rotary connection 30 and the second rotary connection 31. The bent outward displacement section 40 is formed by the transition between two adjacent in-plane straight sections, and its bent convex surface faces away from the housing 10. Taking the line connecting the rotation axes of the first rotary connection 30 and the second rotary connection 31 as a reference, the maximum outward displacement point of the bent outward displacement section 40 is located outside the line connecting the two sides, pointing away from the housing 10. The zigzag support arm 22 forms a straight section adjacent to the first rotary connection 30 and a straight section adjacent to the second rotary connection 31 on both sides of the bent outward displacement section 40. The straight section adjacent to the second rotary connection 31 is offset in-plane away from the housing 10 relative to the straight section adjacent to the first rotary connection 30. The bent outward displacement section 40, the broken line support arm 22, the first rotating connection 30 and the second rotating connection 31 are located in the same geometric plane. The in-plane displacement of the bent outward displacement section 40 measured along the normal of the mounting area 11 on the back of the housing 10 is greater than the corresponding outward displacement of the axis of rotation in that direction. Based on this, the convex direction of the bent outward displacement section 40 is geometrically defined to point to the outside of the housing 10.

[0035] Furthermore, the second rotatable connection 31 is disposed on one side edge of the terminal mounting plate 23 near the zigzag support arm 22. The terminal mounting plate 23 forms a mounting position for the second rotatable connection 31 at this side edge position facing the zigzag support arm 22, and the axis of rotation of the second rotatable connection 31 is located in the adjacent zone of the side edge of the terminal mounting plate 23 and is parallel to the direction of the side edge.

[0036] Furthermore, second side plates 311 are provided on both sides of the distal end of the zigzag support arm 22. The second side plates 311 are arranged adjacent to the aforementioned side edges of the terminal mounting plate 23. The through fastener 32 passes through the corresponding through holes of the second side plates 311 and the terminal mounting plate 23 at the side edges along the rotation axis direction of the second rotating connection 31, so that the terminal mounting plate 23 is sandwiched between the two second side plates 311 and forms a rotational engagement with the zigzag support arm 22 with the through fastener 32 as the rotation center.

[0037] Thus, the positioning of the second rotating connection 31 relative to the terminal mounting plate 23 is limited to one side edge near the folded support arm 22, the outer edge of the second side plate 311 is close to the outer edge of the terminal mounting plate 23 on that side, and the axis of the fastener 32 falls in the adjacent area inward from the edge of the terminal mounting plate 23 on that side.

[0038] In one specific embodiment, the terminal mounting plate 23 is a plate-shaped component with multiple mounting holes 50 disposed within its surface. Each mounting hole 50 is a through hole penetrating the thickness of the terminal mounting plate 23, and is located within the plate surface area of ​​the terminal mounting plate 23, spaced apart from the edge of the second rotary connection 31. The axis of each mounting hole 50 is parallel to the axis of rotation of the second rotary connection 31, and a strip of sheet material is left between the edge of the mounting hole 50 and the outer edge of the terminal mounting plate 23.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, a support back plate 60 is provided on the back mounting area 11 of the housing 10. The support back plate 60 is laid along the range of the mounting area 11, and its upper end is integrally formed into a mounting surface. The mounting surface is used to cooperate with the fixed substrate 21. The plane of the mounting surface is arranged opposite to the plate surface of the fixed substrate 21 to form a connection interface. A plurality of through holes for connection are provided on the mounting surface. These through holes are located in the plate surface area of ​​the mounting surface, distributed along the plane of the mounting surface and opposite to the connection parts of the fixed substrate 21 at corresponding positions, so as to realize the connection and positioning of the fixed substrate 21 and the support back plate 60 at the mounting surface. The support back plate 60 is fitted to the mounting area 11, and the mounting surface is located at the upper boundary of the support back plate 60. The plurality of through holes for connection on the mounting surface are all through holes that penetrate the thickness of the mounting surface, thereby providing a multi-point connection hole distribution for the fixed substrate 21 at the mounting surface.

[0040] In one specific embodiment, an abutment block is provided on the side of the supporting back plate 60 facing the housing 10. The abutment block protrudes towards the housing 10 along the thickness direction of the supporting back plate 60, and the abutment surface faces the inner side of the back surface of the housing 10. The abutment block is fixedly disposed on the inner side plate surface of the supporting back plate 60, and its location is separated from the mounting surface at the upper end of the supporting back plate 60, not occupying the mounting surface used for connecting with the fixed base plate 21 and the through hole distribution area. The abutment block and the inner wall area of ​​the back surface of the housing 10 are arranged opposite to each other, and the two form a facing relationship on the inner side of the supporting back plate 60. This embodiment does not limit the number or shape of the abutment block, but only limits its placement position to the side of the supporting back plate 60 facing the housing 10, and limits its abutment surface to facing the housing 10.

[0041] Furthermore, fastening holes 70 are provided on the edge of the fixed substrate 21. The fastening holes 70 are located in the edge and corner areas of the fixed substrate 21. The fastening holes 70 are through holes that penetrate the thickness of the fixed substrate 21, and their hole axis is consistent with the normal direction of the plate surface of the fixed substrate 21. The fastening holes 70 are arranged opposite to the corresponding connection positions on the mounting area 11 of the housing 10, so as to form edge connection points between the fixed substrate 21 and the housing 10. In the embodiment where a bearing back plate 60 and a mounting surface are provided, the fastening holes 70 and a plurality of through holes for connection on the mounting surface are aligned with each other so as to form a corresponding edge connection distribution between the fixed substrate 21 and the bearing back plate 60.

[0042] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the inventive concept of this application, but these improvements all fall within the protection scope of this application.
