Remote control and control system Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of remote control technology, and in particular to a remote control and control system. Background Technology
[0002] Some related technologies use detachable and retractable joysticks in remote controls to reduce space requirements. However, this requires users to manually detach the joystick and store it elsewhere, making it prone to loss. Other technologies propose a foldable joystick that remains connected to the remote. However, when the joystick is in its unfolded state, it can easily fold during normal operation, leading to accidental switching from unfolded to folded positions. For example, the joystick might get stuck in the folded position and become immobile, reducing reliability. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of this, this application provides a remote control and control system.
[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a remote controller, including:
[0005] The remote control body has a receiving cavity;
[0006] The bracket is provided with a first limiting structure. The bracket is located in the receiving cavity and is rotatably connected to the remote control body. The bracket is fixedly connected with a joystick.
[0007] A limiting member, wherein the limiting member is provided with a second limiting structure, and the limiting member is movable between a first position and a second position relative to the remote control body;
[0008] When the limiting member is in the first position, the joystick is allowed to move from the unfolded state to the folded state.
[0009] When the limiting member is in the second position, the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure can cooperate with each other to prevent the joystick from switching from the unfolded state to the folded state.
[0010] In the remote control of this application embodiment, the bracket is provided with a first limiting structure, and the limiting member is provided with a second limiting structure. When the limiting member is in the first position, the joystick can be allowed to enter the folded state from the unfolded state. When the limiting member is in the second position, the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure can cooperate with each other to prevent the joystick from switching from the unfolded state to the folded state. This prevents the user from accidentally triggering the joystick to the folded position during normal use, thereby ensuring that the joystick can move normally to control the controlled end. This can eliminate the phenomenon of joystick misoperation during the use of the remote control and improve the reliability of the remote control operation.
[0011] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a remote controller, including:
[0012] The remote control body has a receiving cavity;
[0013] The bracket is provided with a first stop, the bracket is located in the receiving cavity and is rotatably connected to the remote control body, and the bracket is fixedly connected to a rocker arm;
[0014] A limiting member is provided with a second stop portion, and the limiting member can move between a first position and a second position relative to the remote control body;
[0015] When the limiting member is in the first position, the second stop is located outside the movement path of the first stop, and the rocker can freely switch between the folded state and the unfolded state.
[0016] When the limiting member is in the second position and the rocker switch from the unfolded state to the folded state, the second stop is located on the movement path of the first stop, and the second stop prevents the movement of the first stop, so that the rocker remains in the unfolded state.
[0017] In the remote control of this application embodiment, when the limiting member is in the first position, the second stop is located outside the movement path of the first stop, allowing the joystick to freely switch between a folded state and an unfolded state. When the limiting member is in the second position and the joystick switches from the unfolded state to the folded state, the second stop is located on the movement path of the first stop, preventing the first stop from moving and keeping the joystick in the unfolded state. This ensures the joystick can operate normally to control the controlled device, eliminating the phenomenon of joystick malfunction during remote control use and improving the reliability of remote control operation.
[0018] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a remote controller, including:
[0019] The remote control body has a receiving cavity;
[0020] A bracket, which is provided with a moving part, is located in the receiving cavity and is rotatably connected to the remote control body, and a rocker arm is fixedly connected to the bracket;
[0021] A limiting member is provided with a guide portion, the guide portion having a dead point position. The limiting member is located in the receiving cavity and can move between a first position and a second position relative to the remote control body, and the moving part can move along the guide portion.
[0022] When the limiting member is in the first position, the joystick is allowed to move from the unfolded state to the folded state.
[0023] When the limiting member is in the second position, the moving part is in the dead point position to prevent the joystick from switching from the unfolded state to the folded state.
[0024] In the remote control of this application embodiment, when the limiting member is in the first position, the joystick is allowed to enter the folded state from the unfolded state. Since the limiting member is provided with a guide portion, and the guide portion has a dead point position, when the limiting member is in the second position, the moving part is at this dead point position, preventing the joystick from switching from the unfolded state to the folded state. This prevents the user from accidentally triggering the joystick to the folded position during normal operation, thereby ensuring that the joystick can move normally to control the controlled end. This eliminates the phenomenon of joystick malfunction during remote control use and improves the reliability of remote control operation.
[0025] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a remote control, including:
[0026] The remote control itself;
[0027] An antenna is rotatably connected to the remote control body, and the antenna can rotate relative to the remote control body between position A and position B; wherein, position A is the position when the antenna is in a folded state, and position B is the position when the antenna is in an unfolded state;
[0028] A positioning component, a portion of which is connected to the antenna, and another portion of which is connected to the remote control body;
[0029] When the antenna rotates relative to the remote control body to or past position C, the positioning component can automatically drive the antenna to a preset position and maintain the antenna at the preset position. The preset position includes position A and / or position B, and position C is located between position A and position B.
[0030] In the remote control of this application embodiment, the application of the positioning component enables the antenna to be unfolded or / and folded in one step, without the need for repeated adjustments to the antenna's position and orientation, thus improving the ease of operation of the remote control.
[0031] Fifthly, embodiments of this application provide a control system, including a mobile platform and any of the aforementioned remote controllers, wherein the remote controller is used to control the mobile platform.
[0032] The control system of this application embodiment has at least the same advantages as the remote control, which will not be described in detail here.

Specific Implementation
[0063] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, 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, 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.
[0064] 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.
[0065] Example 1
[0066] In some related technologies, remote controls feature detachable and retractable joysticks. When the remote control is not in use, such as when it is stored in its packaging or case, the user can manually detach the joystick and store it elsewhere. This saves storage space and prevents the joystick from protruding from the remote control's surface, reducing the risk of damage. When the remote control is needed, the joystick is manually removed from its storage location and reinstalled. However, this method makes the joystick prone to being lost.
[0067] While related technologies have proposed a structure where the joystick is connected to the remote control and can be folded, allowing for storage and use, this approach presents a problem. When the remote control is being operated normally, the joystick is in its unfolded state. During normal operation, the joystick is prone to accidental folding, such as from excessively large movements that could cause it to mistakenly enter a folded state, becoming stuck in a storage slot and unable to move, thus reducing reliability.
[0068] To address the aforementioned issues in related technologies, this application provides a remote control with a foldable joystick that remains connected to the remote control body, preventing loss during storage. Simultaneously, it solves the problem of accidental folding of the joystick. When the joystick is in the unfolded position, it cannot be triggered or pressed back to the folded position, thus avoiding accidental activation during normal joystick operation and improving the reliability of the remote control's control of the controlled device.
[0069] Specifically, the controlled end may include a mobile platform. Optionally, the mobile platform may be at least one of an aircraft, vehicle, ship, gimbal, and mobile robot, but is not limited thereto. Of course, the controlled end may also include other electronic devices, such as home appliances, gaming devices, computers, cameras, remote-controlled toys, etc. This application does not specifically limit the specific type of the controlled end in its embodiments.
[0070] As shown in Figure 1, this remote control specifically includes a remote control body 10, a bracket 31 for mounting and fixing a joystick 30, and a limiting member 32. The remote control body 10 includes a housing and an electronic control module such as a circuit board and a battery installed inside the housing. The remote control body 10 has a receiving cavity in which the circuit board, battery, and other electronic control modules can be placed. The bracket 31 is located in the receiving cavity and has a first limiting structure 311. The bracket 31 is rotatably connected to the remote control body 10. The limiting member 32 has a second limiting structure 321 and can move between a first position and a second position relative to the remote control body 10. Figure 1 shows the limiting member 32 currently in the second position as an example. When the limiting member leaves the second position, for example, by moving to the right, the limiting member 32 can be in the first position.
[0071] When the limiting member 32 moves to the first position, the first limiting structure 311 and the second limiting structure 321 do not obstruct each other. At this time, the joystick 30 can freely and unobstructedly enter the folded state from the unfolded state. When the limiting member 32 moves to the second position, the first limiting structure 311 and the second limiting structure 321 can cooperate with each other and restrict each other to prevent the joystick 30 from switching from the unfolded state to the folded state. At this time, the joystick 30 cannot enter the folded state from the unfolded state.
[0072] Therefore, in this embodiment, the bracket 31 is provided with a first limiting structure 311, and the limiting member 32 is provided with a second limiting structure 321. When the limiting member 32 is in the first position, the joystick 30 can be allowed to enter the folded state from the unfolded state. When the limiting member 32 is in the second position, the first limiting structure 311 and the second limiting structure 321 can cooperate with each other to prevent the joystick 30 from switching from the unfolded state to the folded state, thereby preventing it from being accidentally triggered to the folded position during normal use and operation of the joystick 30. This ensures that the joystick 30 can move normally to control the controlled end, eliminates the phenomenon of joystick misoperation during remote control use, and improves the reliability of remote control operation.
[0073] Example 2
[0074] In some related technologies, remote controls feature detachable and retractable joysticks. When the remote control is not in use, such as when it is stored in its packaging or case, the user can manually detach the joystick and store it elsewhere. This saves storage space and prevents the joystick from protruding from the remote control's surface, reducing the risk of damage. When the remote control is needed, the joystick is manually removed from its storage location and reinstalled. However, this method makes the joystick prone to being lost.
[0075] While related technologies have proposed a structure where the joystick is connected to the remote control and can be folded, allowing for storage and use, this approach presents a problem. When the remote control is being operated normally, the joystick is in its unfolded state. During normal operation, the joystick is prone to accidental folding, such as from excessively large movements that could cause it to mistakenly enter a folded state, becoming stuck in a storage slot and unable to move, thus reducing reliability.
[0076] To address the aforementioned issues in related technologies, this application provides a remote control with a foldable joystick that remains connected to the remote control body, preventing loss during storage. Simultaneously, it solves the problem of accidental folding of the joystick. When the joystick is in the unfolded position, it cannot be triggered or pressed back to the folded position, thus avoiding accidental activation during normal joystick operation and improving the reliability of the remote control's control of the controlled device.
[0077] As shown in Figures 2 and 3a to 3c, this remote control specifically includes a remote control body 10, a bracket 31 for mounting and fixing a joystick 30, and a limiting member 32. The remote control body 10 includes a housing and an electronic control module such as a circuit board and a battery installed inside the housing. The remote control body 10 has a receiving cavity in which the circuit board, battery, and other electronic control modules can be housed. The bracket 31 is located within the receiving cavity and has a first stop 3111, and the bracket 31 is rotatably connected to the remote control body 10. The limiting member 32 has a second stop 3211, and the limiting member 32 can move between a first position and a second position relative to the remote control body 10.
[0078] When the limiting member 32 moves to the first position, the second stop 3211 is outside the movement path of the first stop 3111. At this time, the rocker arm 30 can freely and unhinderedly enter the folded state from the unfolded state. When the limiting member 32 moves to the second position and the rocker arm 30 switches from the unfolded state to the folded state, the second stop 3211 is located on the movement path of the first stop 3111. The two restrict each other, blocking the movement of the bracket 31. The bracket 31 cannot drive the rocker arm 30 to switch to the folded state.
[0079] Therefore, when the limiting member 32 is in the first position, the second stop 3211 is outside the movement path of the first stop 3111, allowing the joystick 30 to freely switch between the folded and unfolded states. When the limiting member 32 is in the second position and the joystick 30 switches from the unfolded to the folded state, the second stop 3211 is located on the movement path of the first stop 3111, preventing the first stop 3111 from moving and keeping the joystick 30 in the unfolded state. This ensures that the joystick 30 can operate normally to control the controlled device. Through the above design of the first stop 3111 and the second stop 3211, the phenomenon of erroneous operation of the joystick 30 during remote control use can be eliminated, improving the reliability of remote control operation.
[0080] Optionally, referring to Figures 3a to 3c, the first limiting structure 311 in the above embodiments may include a first stop portion 3111, and the second limiting structure 321 may include a second stop portion 3211.
[0081] Optionally, in one embodiment, as shown in Figures 3a to 3c, when the limiting member 32 is in the second position and the rocker arm 30 switches from the folded state to the unfolded state, the second stop 3211 can release the obstruction of the first stop 3111 so that the rocker arm 30 switches to the unfolded state.
[0082] Optionally, in one embodiment, as shown in Figures 3a to 3c, when the limiting member 32 is in the second position, if the user operates the joystick 30 to switch from the folded state to the unfolded state, the first stop 311 can push the second stop 3211, causing the limiting member 32 to move toward the first position, thereby removing the obstruction to the first stop 3111.
[0083] Example 3
[0084] In some related technologies, remote controls feature detachable and retractable joysticks. When the remote control is not in use, such as when it is stored in its packaging or case, the user can manually detach the joystick and store it elsewhere. This saves storage space and prevents the joystick from protruding from the remote control's surface, reducing the risk of damage. When the remote control is needed, the joystick is manually removed from its storage location and reinstalled. However, this method makes the joystick prone to being lost.
[0085] While related technologies have proposed a structure where the joystick is connected to the remote control and can be folded, allowing for storage and use, this approach presents a problem. When the remote control is being operated normally, the joystick is in its unfolded state. During normal operation, the joystick is prone to accidental folding, such as from excessively large movements that could cause it to mistakenly enter a folded state, becoming stuck in a storage slot and unable to move, thus reducing reliability.
[0086] To address the aforementioned issues in related technologies, this application provides a remote control with a foldable joystick that remains connected to the remote control body, preventing loss during storage. Simultaneously, it solves the problem of accidental folding of the joystick. When the joystick is in the unfolded position, it cannot be triggered or pressed back to the folded position, thus avoiding accidental activation during normal joystick operation and improving the reliability of the remote control's control of the controlled device.
[0087] As shown in Figures 4 and 5a to 5c, this remote control specifically includes a remote control body 10, a bracket 31 for mounting and fixing a joystick 30, and a limiting member 32. The remote control body 10 includes a housing and an electronic control module such as a circuit board and a battery installed inside the housing. The remote control body 10 has a receiving cavity in which the circuit board, battery, and other electronic control modules can be housed. The bracket 31 is located within the receiving cavity and has a moving part 312, which is rotatably connected to the remote control body 10. The limiting member 32 is located within the receiving cavity and has a guide part 322 with a dead point position. When the limiting member 32 moves relative to the remote control body 10 between a first position and a second position, the moving part 312 can move along the guide part 322.
[0088] When the limiting member 32 moves to the first position, the joystick 30 can freely and unimpededly enter the folded state from the unfolded state. When the limiting member 32 is in the second position, the moving part 312 is also at a dead point position in the guide part 322. At this time, when the user operates the joystick 30, it causes the bracket 31 to move relative to the remote control body 10. The force is transmitted from the bracket 31 to the limiting member 32. Due to the existence of this dead point position, the joystick 30 cannot switch from the unfolded state to the folded state, thus preventing the joystick 30 from being accidentally folded and stored.
[0089] In this context, the dead point position refers to a position where the object will not move under normal external force and requires a driving force or a destructive external force to break through the limitation of the dead point position and thus generate movement.
[0090] It should be noted that when the moving part 312 is at the dead point position in the guide part 322, if the force is transmitted to the bracket 31 through the limiting member 32, the bracket 31 and the rocker arm 30 are not constrained by the dead point position, and the rocker arm 30 can switch from the unfolded state to the folded state normally and without obstruction, and complete the normal folding and storage operation.
[0091] Therefore, in this embodiment, when the limiting member 32 is in the first position, the joystick 30 is allowed to enter the folded state from the unfolded state. Since the limiting member 32 is provided with a guide portion 322, which has a dead point position, when the limiting member 32 is in the second position, the moving part 312 is at this dead point position to prevent the joystick 30 from switching from the unfolded state to the folded state. This prevents the user from accidentally triggering the joystick 30 to the folded position during normal operation, thereby ensuring that the joystick 30 can operate normally to control the movable platform. This eliminates the phenomenon of erroneous joystick 30 operation during remote control use and improves the reliability of remote control operation.
[0092] Optionally, in one embodiment, when the limiting member 32 is in the first position, folding is permitted; when the limiting member 32 is in the second position, folding of the joystick 30 is prevented. The first and second positions of the limiting member 32 may not correspond to the folded and unfolded states of the joystick 30. Specifically, when the limiting member 32 is in the first position, the joystick 30 can be in either the unfolded or folded state. Similarly, when the limiting member 32 is in the second position, the joystick 30 can be in either the unfolded or folded state.
[0093] Optionally, referring to FIG1, the first limiting structure 311 in the above embodiment may include a moving part 312, and the second limiting structure 321 may include a guide part 322.
[0094] Optionally, in one embodiment, when the limiting member 32 is in the first position, the rocker arm 30 is in a folded state; when the limiting member 32 is in the second position, the rocker arm 30 is in an unfolded state.
[0095] Optionally, the limiting member 32 may also have a transmission function. For example, the limiting member 32 may also drive the rocker arm 30 to switch between the folded state and the unfolded state via the bracket 31.
[0096] Optionally, in one embodiment, the movement of the limiting member 32 relative to the remote control body 10 can be sliding or rotating. When the limiting member 32 slides relative to the remote control body 10, the two ends of the sliding stroke can correspond to the first position and the second position of the limiting member 32, respectively. When the limiting member 32 rotates relative to the remote control body 10, the starting position and the ending position of the rotation stroke can correspond to the first position and the second position of the limiting member 32, respectively.
[0097] Optionally, in one embodiment, as shown in Figures 6 and 7a to 7c, the aforementioned moving part 312 includes a slider, and the guide part 322 includes a groove. The slider can be a protruding structure protruding from the surface of the bracket 31, integrally injection molded with it. The groove can be a groove-shaped structure formed in the blank area reserved during the injection molding of the limiting part 32.
[0098] Optionally, in one embodiment, as shown in Figures 6 and 7a to 7c, the guide portion 322 can be divided into two parts: a first guide portion 3221 and a second guide portion 3222. The first guide portion 3221 and the second guide portion 3222 are connected to each other and extend and intersect in different directions. The moving portion 312 can slide from the first guide portion 3221 to the second guide portion 3222, or from the second guide portion 3222 to the first guide portion 3221. The aforementioned dead point position is the transition position where the first guide portion 3221 and the second guide portion 3222 meet.
[0099] Referring to the schematic diagrams in Figures 6, 7a to 7c, when the guide portion 322 includes a slide groove, the first guide portion 3221 and the second guide portion 3222 are different parts of the slide groove. When the user operates the joystick 30 to rotate the bracket 31 relative to the remote control body 10, the moving part 312 on the bracket 31 slides along the guide portion 322. Once the moving part 312 slides to the dead point position, if the user continues to operate the joystick 30 in the same direction, the movement of the joystick 30 and the bracket 31 will be hindered, thereby preventing accidental retraction of the joystick 30.
[0100] Optionally, in one embodiment, as shown in Figures 6, 7a to 7c, the extension direction of the second guide portion 3222 is substantially parallel to the operating surface of the remote control body 10, and the extension direction of the second guide portion 3222 intersects the extension direction of the first guide portion 3221 to form an obtuse angle. The position where the second guide portion 3222 and the first guide portion 3221 intersect is the dead point position.
[0101] Referring to the diagrams in Figures 6 and 7a to 7c, when the joystick 30 is in the unfolded position, the moving part 312 is located at the end of the second guide part 3222 away from the first guide part 3221. When the user operates the joystick 30 to move it closer to the folded position, the moving part 312 also gradually slides towards the first guide part 3221. Once the moving part 312 slides to the dead point, the user cannot move the joystick 30 towards the folded position if they continue to operate it. However, the user can still operate the limiting member 32 to allow the moving part 312 to continue sliding to the end of the second guide part 3222, thus implementing the folding and storage function of the joystick 30.
[0102] Optionally, in one embodiment, as shown in Figures 6, 7a to 7c, a shape configuration of the moving part 312 is illustrated. Along a direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the support 31 (i.e., perpendicular to the plane of the paper), the moving part 312 has at least one abutting surface 312a. Since the moving part 312 is a protruding portion of the support 31, it rotates when the support 31 rotates, thus allowing the abutting surface 312a to abut against different portions of the guide part 322.
[0103] As shown in Figure 7c, when the limiting member 32 is in the first position, the abutting plane 312a abuts against the side wall of the first guide portion 3221. As shown in Figure 7a, when the limiting member 32 is in the second position, the abutting plane 312a abuts against the side wall of the second guide portion 3222.
[0104] For example, in this embodiment of the application, the cross-sectional shape of the moving part 312 is a closed shape formed by two line segments and a curve, so that it can have two planar structures that abut against the guide part 322, which is more stable at the dead point position.
[0105] Optionally, in one embodiment, when the user operates the joystick 30 to move the moving part 312 of the bracket 31 to the dead position, to prevent damage to components caused by continued force from the user, as shown in Figures 7a to 7c, the extension direction of the second guide part 3222 is parallel to the operating surface of the remote control body 10, and the first guide part 3221 has an active space larger than the volume of the moving part 312. When the moving part 312 moves within the first guide part 3221, the area traversed by the moving part 312 is smaller than the active space. Thus, the first guide part 3221 can provide a larger movement space for the moving part 312, preventing damage from compression between the bracket 31 and the limiting member 32.
[0106] Optionally, in one embodiment, the remote controller of this application further includes a drive component, which is connected to the limiting member 32 in a transmission manner to drive the limiting member 32 to move between a first position and a second position. It should be noted that the transmission connection in this application embodiment refers to the indirect connection between different components through a transmission mechanism such as a linkage mechanism, gear mechanism, chain mechanism, or belt mechanism, or through an intermediate connecting member such as a drive shaft, to achieve motion transmission.
[0107] Specifically, depending on whether the joystick 30 in the remote control is linked with other components, different structural forms of drive components can be designed as shown in the following examples.
[0108] As shown in Figures 4 and 5a to 5c, when the joystick 30 in the remote control moves independently relative to the remote control body 10, the driving component includes a toggle switch 33. A portion of the toggle switch 33 is located within the receiving cavity of the remote control body 10 and connected to the limiting member 32, while another portion protrudes from the remote control body 10. The toggle switch 33 is connected to the remote control body 10, and it drives the limiting member 32 to move relative to the remote control body 10. The user can drive the limiting member 32 by pushing the toggle switch 33 with their finger, thereby switching the joystick 30 between a folded state and an unfolded state. Optionally, the toggle switch 33 can also be other types of switches, such as a slide switch, a rotary switch, or a push switch; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on it.
[0109] In related technologies, remote controls lack a driving component. When the joystick 30 is folded to unfold, the user needs to manually remove it from the folded or stowed position and then rotate it to the unfolded position. Similarly, when unfolded to folded, the user needs to manually rotate the joystick 30 from the unfolded position and then fix it to the folded or stowed position. Therefore, unfolding or folding the joystick 30 is cumbersome and time-consuming. In this embodiment, however, a driving component, such as a toggle switch 33, is designed. The user can operate the toggle switch 33 to drive the limiting member 32, thereby allowing the joystick 30 to switch quickly between the folded and unfolded states with a single button press. Thus, for example, unfolding the joystick 30 can be much faster, allowing the remote control to be ready more quickly, improving the efficiency of operating the mobile platform. For example, folding the joystick 30 can be much faster, allowing the remote control to be stored more quickly when not in use, improving the user experience.
[0110] As shown in Figures 6, 7a to 7c, 8, and 9a to 9c, when the joystick 30 in the remote control moves in conjunction with other components (e.g., the display module 20), the driving assembly includes an external bracket 21 and a linkage mechanism 40. The external bracket 21 is rotatably connected to the remote control body 10 and extends outside the remote control body 10. The external bracket 21 is also connected to the input end of the linkage mechanism 40, and the output end of the linkage mechanism 40 is connected to the limiting member 32. The external bracket 21 drives the limiting member 32 to move relative to the remote control body 10 through the linkage mechanism 40. In some embodiments, the external bracket 21 in this application embodiment can be used to mount and fix the display module 20, thereby realizing the linkage movement of the display module 20 and the joystick 30, which can switch together between a folded state and an unfolded state.
[0111] For example, when the remote control is needed to operate the controlled device, operating the display module 20 simultaneously activates the joystick 30. This single operation unfolds both components, allowing the display module 20 and joystick 30 to move together from their folded positions to their respective unfolded positions. This enables the remote control to be ready more quickly, thus improving the efficiency of controlling the controlled device. Similarly, when the remote control is not needed, operating the display module 20 simultaneously activates the joystick 30. This single operation folds both components, allowing the display module 20 and joystick 30 to move together from their unfolded positions to their respective folded positions. This allows the remote control to be stored more quickly, enhancing the user experience.
[0112] In this way, with multiple components on the remote control designed to be foldable, users do not need to unfold or fold multiple different components one by one when using or / and storing the remote control, thereby reducing the number of steps involved in using or / and storing the remote control, thus improving the efficiency of using or / or storing the remote control and enhancing the user experience.
[0113] Optionally, in one embodiment, referring to the schematic diagrams of Figures 7a to 7c, a linkage mechanism 40 includes a transmission pin 401, which is fixedly connected to an external bracket 21. A limiting member 32 is provided with a strip-shaped hole 323. Referring to the schematic diagrams of Figures 7a to 7c, the length direction of the strip-shaped hole 323 is direction a as shown in the figure, the movement direction of the limiting member 32 is direction b as shown in the figure, and directions a and b intersect. The transmission pin 401 is embedded in the strip-shaped hole 323.
[0114] When the peripheral bracket 21 rotates relative to the remote control body 10, the transmission pin 401 rotates accordingly. At the same time, the transmission pin 401 is constrained by the strip hole 323 and slides within the strip hole 323, generating a force acting on the side wall of the strip hole 323, which can push the limiting member 32 to slide between the first position and the second position.
[0115] For example, the display module 20 is mounted and fixed on the peripheral bracket 21. When the display module 20 acts as the active component, the power is applied sequentially to the peripheral bracket 21, the transmission pin 401, the limiting component 32, and the bracket 31. Since the rocker arm 30 is mounted and fixed on the bracket 31, the transmission pin 401 can transmit the power that drives the display module 20 to the rocker arm 30, thereby realizing the linkage movement of the two different components.
[0116] Optionally, in one embodiment, referring to the schematic diagrams of Figures 9a to 9c, a linkage mechanism 40 includes a connector 402, one end of which is fixedly connected to a limiting member 32, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to an external bracket 21.
[0117] It should be noted that when a rigid connecting rod is used as the connector 402 in this embodiment, it can provide both tensile and pushing forces to achieve linkage between the display module 20 and the joystick 30. When a flexible component such as a rope or chain is used as the connector 402 in this embodiment, it can provide tensile force to pull the driven components in the display module 20 and the joystick 30 to the corresponding folded or unfolded positions.
[0118] For example, the display module 20 is mounted and fixed on the peripheral bracket 21. When the display module 20 acts as the active component, the power is applied sequentially to the peripheral bracket 21, the connector 402, the limiting component 32, and the bracket 31. Since the rocker arm 30 is fixed on the bracket 31, the connector 402 can transmit the power that drives the display module 20 to the rocker arm 30, thereby realizing the linkage movement of the two different components.
[0119] Optionally, in one embodiment, as shown in Figures 9a to 9c, the linkage mechanism 40 further includes a tension spring 403. One end of the tension spring 403 is fixedly connected to the limiting member 32, and the other end of the tension spring 403 is fixedly connected to the remote control body 10. When the limiting member 32 is in the second position, the tension spring 403 is in an extended state to store energy. This elastic potential energy can cause the limiting member 32 to automatically move from the second position to the first position. Therefore, it can provide an auxiliary restoring force for the folding process of the display module 20 and the joystick 30, making the folding process easier.
[0120] Optionally, in one embodiment, in order to prevent the limiting member 32 from moving accidentally between the first position and the second position, as shown in Figures 5a to 5c, the remote controller further includes a locking structure 80, which keeps the limiting member 32 in the first position or the second position, so that the joystick 30 is stably in the unfolded state or the folded state.
[0121] Optionally, in one embodiment, as illustrated in Figures 5a to 5c, the locking structure 80 is a spring with an elastic protrusion 801, and the limiting member 32 has a positioning protrusion 324. When the limiting member 32 is in the first position, the positioning protrusion 324 is located on one side of the elastic protrusion 801. When the user pushes the limiting member 32 to the second position, the positioning protrusion 324 compresses the elastic protrusion 801, causing the elastic protrusion 801 to contract and deform. Thus, the positioning protrusion 324 moves past the elastic protrusion 801 to the other side of the elastic protrusion 801, at which point the limiting member 32 is in the second position. Therefore, the elastic protrusion 801 forms a retaining and locking effect on the limiting member 32, helping it to be stably maintained in the first or second position.
[0122] Optionally, in one embodiment, as illustrated in FIG10, the locking structure 80 can also be a latching part 802 provided on the remote control body 10. When the peripheral bracket drives the limiting member 32 to move relative to the remote control body 10 to the second position through the linkage mechanism 40, the display module 20 is in the folded position. At this time, the peripheral bracket 21 cooperates with the latching part 802 to keep the display module 20 in the folded position, and the linkage mechanism 40 cannot move, which can also keep the joystick 30 in the folded position. In this embodiment, the latching part 802 can be a groove or other structural shape on the remote control body 10 that can clamp and fix the peripheral bracket 21.
[0123] Optionally, in one embodiment, as illustrated in Figures 3a to 3c, a reset member 90 can be provided between the limiting member 32 and the remote control body 10. The reset member 90 can provide a reset force to the limiting member 32, so that the limiting member 32 automatically returns to the second position without the need for manual operation by the user, thereby improving the intelligence and efficiency of the reset of the limiting member 32.
[0124] Optionally, in one embodiment, as illustrated in Figures 3a to 3c, the reset member 90 is a compression spring, and the limiting member 32 is provided with a spring mounting portion 325. One end of the compression spring abuts against the spring mounting portion 325, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the remote control body 10. When the limiting member 32 is in the first position, the compression spring is compressed and stores energy. When the locking structure 80 releases its holding effect on the limiting member 32, the compression spring pushes the limiting member 32 toward the second position under the elastic force of the compression spring.
[0125] Optionally, in order to ensure that the joystick 30 can reliably remain in the folded position without being accidentally popped out when it is in the folded position and not unfolded by the user, as shown in Figures 3a to 3c, a retainer 92 is provided on the remote control body. The retainer 92 interacts with the joystick 30 to keep the joystick 30 in the folded position. The joystick 30 can only be separated from the retainer 92 if the force applied by the user to the joystick 30 is greater than the interaction force between the two.
[0126] Optionally, when the retainer 92 is a soft rubber block with a slot, the rocker arm 30 can be embedded in the slot when it is in the folded position. Under the elastic action of the soft rubber block, the side wall of the slot can lock the rocker arm 30 in place. Alternatively, the retainer 92 can also be a magnetic component. The rocker arm 30 itself can be made of a magnetically conductive material or have locally provided magnetic components of opposite polarity to the retainer 92. Thus, when the rocker arm 30 is in the folded position, the magnetic components can fix the rocker arm 30 through magnetic attraction. This application does not specifically limit the method by which the retainer 92 achieves its retaining function.
[0127] Optionally, in one embodiment, as shown in Figures 7a to 7c, the limiting member 32 is slidably connected to the remote control body 10, and the limiting member 32 can slide between a first position and a second position relative to the remote control body 10. In this remote control, the limiting member 32 can extend from the outer surface of the remote control body 10 to form a part for the user to operate, or a toggle member (as shown in Figure 4, the toggle switch 33) can be installed on the outer surface of the remote control body 10, and the toggle member and the limiting member 32 can be snapped together. The user can drive the bracket 31 and the joystick 30 by directly or indirectly operating the limiting member 32 to slide, so that the joystick 30 is in a folded position or an unfolded position.
[0128] Optionally, in one embodiment, as shown in Figures 5a to 5c, the remote control body 10 is provided with a guide groove 102, and the limiting member 32 is disposed in the guide groove 102 and can slide along the guide groove 102. Under the guidance of the guide groove 102, the limiting member 32 can move in a straight line as designed, and it is not easy to deviate, so that the limiting function of the limiting member 32 can be more accurate.
[0129] Optionally, in one embodiment, in order to facilitate manufacturing and installation, as shown in Figures 5a to 5c, the guide groove 102 can be machined and designed on the guide bracket 91 that is separable from the remote control body 10, and the guide bracket 91 can be fixedly connected to the remote control body 10, which can reduce the machining difficulty of the guide groove 102 and reduce the assembly difficulty of the guide groove 102 and the limiting member 32.
[0130] Optionally, as illustrated in Figures 11a and 11b, there are at least two brackets 31 and one limiting member 32. Each bracket 31 is used to fix one joystick 30. The limiting member 32 simultaneously drives at least two brackets 31 to rotate relative to the remote control body 10, switching each joystick 30 between a folded position and an unfolded position. Thus, the user can fold or unfold both joysticks 30 simultaneously by directly or indirectly operating the limiting member 32. For example, when the joysticks 30 are the left and right joysticks on the remote control, the user only needs to press or push the switch on the surface of the remote control to move the limiting member 32 between the first and second positions, thereby folding or unfolding both joysticks together. Compared to the folding or unfolding of joysticks in related technologies, which requires the user to operate both joysticks separately, which is time-consuming and laborious, the solution provided in this application embodiment can fold or unfold both joysticks together with a single click. For example, the unfolding of the left and right joysticks can be faster, allowing the remote control to be ready more quickly, thereby improving the efficiency of operating the movable platform. For example, the folding of the left and right joysticks can be faster, allowing the remote control to be stored away more quickly when not in use, thus improving the user experience.
[0131] Alternatively, in one embodiment, as shown in Figures 11a and 11b, the limiting member 32 is located between the two supports 31, which can drive the two supports 31 located on both sides in a balanced manner.
[0132] Optionally, in one embodiment, as shown in Figures 11a and 11b, the limiting member 32 located between the two supports 31 includes a connecting portion 325, and a first transmission portion 326 and a second transmission portion 327 connected to both ends of the connecting portion 325. The first transmission portion 326 is driveably connected to one of the supports 31, and the second transmission portion 327 is driveably connected to the other support 31. Thus, when the user operates the controls on the remote control, such as pressing or pushing the switch on the surface of the remote control, causing the limiting member 32 to slide between the first position and the second position, the connecting portion 325 transmits power to the two supports 31 through the first transmission portion 326 and the second transmission portion 327 respectively, thereby enabling one-button control of the two joysticks 30.
[0133] In related technologies, remote controls require users to unfold each component, such as the joystick, and then power on the remote by pressing and holding the power button. They then connect to the controlled device, such as a mobile platform, to control it for work. This series of operations is cumbersome and lengthy, making it unsuitable for scenarios where users want to control a mobile platform quickly, such as shooting fleeting moments like sunsets or fireworks. This results in a poor user experience.
[0134] To address the aforementioned technical problems, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG12, the remote controller of this application embodiment further includes a processor 34 and a detection element B 35. The detection element B 35 is used to detect information related to the pose of the limiting member 32 satisfying preset conditions. The processor 34 is used to trigger the remote controller to execute a corresponding mode in response to the detection element B 35 detecting that the pose of the limiting member 32 satisfies the preset conditions. This makes triggering the remote controller to execute the corresponding mode simpler and faster. For example, triggering the remote controller to execute the power-on mode allows the remote controller to quickly enter a ready state, thereby improving the efficiency of using the remote controller to control the mobile platform for rapid operation.
[0135] Specifically, the following are examples of the corresponding working modes executed by the remote control:
[0136] 1) When the limiting member 32 moves to or exceeds the first trigger position during its movement from the first position to the second position, the detection member B 35 outputs relevant information indicating that the position of the limiting member 32 and / or the joystick 30 meets the first preset condition. At this time, the processor 34 responds to this information and triggers the remote control to execute the power-on mode. Optionally, in this embodiment, the power-on mode may refer to the process of powering on the remote control body and the processor 34 executing a self-test program to load the power-on program. For example, the first position may correspond to the folded position of the display module 20, and the second position may correspond to the unfolded position of the display module 20. For example, the first trigger position includes the second position to ensure the accuracy of the trigger, ensuring that the remote control is triggered to execute the power-on mode only after the display module 20 has reached the unfolded position, thus preventing false triggering. Of course, the first trigger position may include a position between the first position and the second position to ensure the timeliness of the trigger and further improve the power-on efficiency of the remote control.
[0137] 2) When the limiting member 32 moves to or exceeds the second trigger position during its movement from the second position to the first position, the detection member B 35 outputs relevant information indicating that the position of the limiting member 32 and / or the joystick 30 meets the second preset condition. At this time, the processor 34 responds to this information and triggers the remote control to execute the power-off mode. Optionally, in this embodiment, the power-off mode may refer to the remote control body being powered off, and the processor 34 completing data storage and backup processes before the power is turned off. For example, the first position may correspond to the folded position of the display module 20, and the second position may correspond to the unfolded position of the display module 20. For example, the second trigger position mentioned above includes the first position to ensure the accuracy of the trigger, ensuring that the remote control is only triggered to execute the power-off mode after the display module 20 has reached the folded position, thus preventing false triggering. Of course, the second trigger position mentioned above may include a position between the second position and the first position to ensure the timeliness of the trigger and further improve the power-off efficiency of the remote control.
[0138] The following example illustrates a foldable joystick remote control provided in this application:
[0139] This foldable joystick remote control can have several different structural forms, namely the first structure shown in Figures 2 to 3c, the second structure shown in Figures 4 to 5c, the third structure shown in Figures 6 to 7c, and the fourth structure shown in Figures 8 to 9c.
[0140] I. The composition and function of each component of the first structure are described below:
[0141] The joystick 30 includes, but is not limited to, potentiometer joysticks, Hall effect joysticks, 3D Hall effect joysticks, and other joystick solutions. This application embodiment uses a Hall effect joystick as an example. The joystick 30 performs the function of converting the joystick's angle information into an electrical signal.
[0142] The bracket 31, as a load-bearing component of the joystick, can fix the joystick while ensuring that the joystick can move freely within a certain range. For example, when the structure of the joystick 30 changes, the structure of the bracket 31, such as its shape, will also change accordingly.
[0143] The limiting member 32, acting as a movement restriction component for the joystick 30, limits the free range of motion of the joystick 30. When the design of the joystick 30 changes, the shape of the limiting member 32 changes accordingly. In the folded state, the limiting member 32 restricts the range of motion of the joystick 30, preventing it from being in the unfolded state. In the unfolded state, the limiting member 32 restricts the range of motion of the joystick 30, preventing it from being in the folded state.
[0144] The reset member 90, as the driving component of the limiting member 32, enables the limiting member 32 to always be kept in a predetermined limit position.
[0145] The retainer 92, as a limiting component of the joystick 30, will wrap around the joystick 30 when the joystick 30 is placed in a folded state by external force, and prevent the joystick 30 from springing back to the unfolded state when no external force is applied.
[0146] The remote control body 10 serves as a support component for the bracket 31, the limiting component 32, and the reset component 90, and it also serves to fix these components in place.
[0147] The aforementioned fixing methods include, but are not limited to, bolt fixing, rivet fixing, and adhesive fixing.
[0148] In this embodiment, the remote control operates as follows: The remote control compresses the reset member 90 to a compressed state by pushing the limiting member 32 with external force, and then pushes the joystick 30 to an unfolded / folded state with external force. At this point, the limiting member 32 is released to limit the joystick 30. When the joystick 30 is in the folded state, the retaining member 92 wraps around the joystick 30, fixing it in its current position. Furthermore, the remote control body 10 can be equipped with a position sensor for the limiting member 32, such as the detection member B 35 in the above embodiment. When the limiting member 32 is detected to be at its folded / unfolded limit position, a corresponding command can be issued to the remote control, which can be a power-off command or a power-on command.
[0149] II. The composition and function of each component of the second structure are described below:
[0150] The joystick 30 includes, but is not limited to, potentiometer joysticks, Hall effect joysticks, 3D Hall effect joysticks, and other joystick solutions. This application embodiment uses a Hall effect joystick as an example. The joystick 30 performs the function of converting the joystick's angle information into an electrical signal.
[0151] The bracket 31, as a supporting component of the joystick, can fix the joystick while ensuring that the joystick can move freely within a certain range. When the structure of the joystick 30 changes, the structure of the bracket 31, such as its shape, will change accordingly. When the position of the bracket 31 changes, the fixed position and the range of motion of the joystick 30 will change accordingly.
[0152] The limiting member 32, as a driving component of the bracket 31, can fix the rocker arm 30 or push the bracket 31 to move within a certain range. When the shape of the bracket 31 changes, the limiting member 32 will change accordingly. The limiting member 32 controls the bracket 31, and the position of the bracket 31 and the position of the limiting member 32 can have a predetermined geometric relationship.
[0153] The guide bracket 91, serving as a support component for the limiting member 32 and the locking structure 80, allows the limiting member 32 and the locking structure 80 to be mounted, while ensuring that the limiting member 32 can move freely within a certain range. The shape of the guide bracket 91 is adjusted according to the shape of the limiting member 32 and the locking structure 80.
[0154] The locking structure 80 can be a spring structure or a driving component of the limiting member 32. When there is no external force, the locking structure 80 will push the limiting member 32 to two extreme positions on the structure, and at the extreme positions, it will lock the limiting member 32 so that the limiting member 32 is placed in a certain position.
[0155] The remote control body 10 serves as a supporting component for the bracket 31, the limiting component 32, the guide bracket 91, and the locking structure 80, and plays a role in fixing the aforementioned components.
[0156] The aforementioned fixing methods include, but are not limited to, bolt fixing, rivet fixing, and adhesive fixing.
[0157] The working principle and operation of the remote control in this embodiment are as follows: The remote control pushes the limiting member 32 by external force. After the limiting member 32 moves a certain distance, it will automatically slide into one of its extreme positions under the action of external force or locking structure 80. At this time, the limiting member 32 will drive the bracket 31 to rotate, causing the bracket 31 to rotate a certain angle to reach the folded / unfolded state. In the folded state, the joystick 30 is retracted and cannot be used normally. In the unfolded state, the limiting member 32 is pressed into the unfolded extreme position by the locking structure 80. At this extreme position, the limiting member 32 will place the bracket 31 in a dead position. When a non-destructive external force is applied to the joystick 30, it will not drive the bracket 31 and will not push the joystick 30 into the folded position. In addition, the remote control body 10 can be equipped with a position sensor for the limiting member 32, such as the detection element B 35 in the above embodiment. When the limiting member 32 is detected to be in the folded / unfolded extreme position, a corresponding command can be issued to the remote control, which can be a power-off command or a power-on command.
[0158] III. The composition and function of each component of the third structure are described below:
[0159] The joystick 30 includes, but is not limited to, potentiometer joysticks, Hall effect joysticks, 3D Hall effect joysticks, and other joystick solutions. This application embodiment uses a Hall effect joystick as an example. The joystick 30 performs the function of converting the joystick's angle information into an electrical signal.
[0160] The bracket 31, as a supporting component of the joystick, can fix the joystick while ensuring that the joystick can move freely within a certain range. When the structure of the joystick 30 changes, the structure of the bracket 31, such as its shape, will change accordingly. When the position of the bracket 31 changes, the fixed position and the range of motion of the joystick 30 will change accordingly.
[0161] The limiting member 32, as a driving component of the bracket 31, can fix the rocker arm 30 or push the bracket 31 to move within a certain range. When the shape of the bracket 31 changes, the limiting member 32 will change accordingly. The limiting member 32 controls the bracket 31, and the position of the bracket 31 and the position of the limiting member 32 can have a predetermined geometric relationship.
[0162] The peripheral bracket 21 serves as a support component for the screen of the remote control. The peripheral bracket 21 can fix the screen or act as a support for the screen. The screen can be the built-in screen of the remote control or an externally installed screen.
[0163] The transmission pin 401 serves as a connector between the external bracket 21 and the linkage component.
[0164] The remote control body 10 serves as a support component for the bracket 31, the limiting component 32, the peripheral bracket 21, and the transmission pin 402, and plays a role in fixing the aforementioned components.
[0165] The aforementioned fixing methods include, but are not limited to, bolt fixing, rivet fixing, and adhesive fixing.
[0166] The working method and principle of the remote control in this embodiment are as follows: When the remote control is in a flat position without external force, the peripheral bracket 21 is in a folded state. When the peripheral bracket 21 is lifted by external force, the peripheral bracket 21 pulls the limiting member 32 through the transmission pin 401, causing the joystick 30 to be lifted to the unfolded state. At this time, the remote control body 10 will lock the peripheral bracket 21. In the folded state, the joystick 30 is retracted and cannot be used normally. In the unfolded state, the limiting member 32 is pulled to the unfolded limit position by the transmission pin 401. At this limit position, the limiting member 32 will place the bracket 31 in a dead position. When a non-destructive external force is applied to the joystick 31, it will not move the bracket 31 and will not push the joystick 30 into the folded position. In addition, the remote control body 10 can be equipped with a position sensor for the limiting member 32, such as the detection member B 35 in the above embodiment. When the limiting member 32 is detected to be in the folded / unfolded limit position, a corresponding command can be issued to the remote control. This command can be a power-off command or a power-on command.
[0167] IV. The composition and function of each component of the fourth structure are explained below:
[0168] The joystick 30 includes, but is not limited to, potentiometer joysticks, Hall effect joysticks, 3D Hall effect joysticks, and other joystick solutions. This application embodiment uses a Hall effect joystick as an example. The joystick 30 performs the function of converting the joystick's angle information into an electrical signal.
[0169] The bracket 31, as a supporting component of the joystick 30, can fix the joystick while ensuring that the joystick can move freely within a certain range. When the structure of the joystick 30 changes, the structure of the bracket 31, such as its shape, will change accordingly. When the position of the bracket 31 changes, the fixed position and the range of motion of the joystick 30 will change accordingly.
[0170] The limiting member 32, as a driving component of the bracket 31, can fix the rocker arm 30 or push the bracket 31 to move within a certain range. When the shape of the bracket 31 changes, the limiting member 32 will change accordingly. The limiting member 32 controls the bracket 31, and the position of the bracket 31 and the position of the limiting member 32 have a predetermined geometric relationship.
[0171] The tension spring 403 can be used as a driving component for the limiting member 32. When there is no external force, the tension spring 403 and the connecting member 402 work together to drive the limiting member 32 to move to two extreme positions. At the extreme positions, the limiting member 32 will be locked so that the limiting member 32 is placed in a certain position.
[0172] The peripheral bracket 21 serves as a support component for the screen of the remote control. The peripheral bracket 21 can fix the screen or act as a support for the screen. The screen can be the built-in screen of the remote control or an externally installed screen.
[0173] The connector 402 (such as a traction line) serves as a linkage component between the peripheral bracket 21 and the limiting member 32. One end of the connector 402 is fixed to the peripheral bracket 21, and the other end is fixed to the limiting member 32. When the peripheral bracket 21 rotates, it will drive the limiting member 32 to move.
[0174] The pivot can be used with a flexible connector 402, such as a traction line. The connector 402 can be bypassed by the pivot to change the direction of the tension of the connector 402.
[0175] The remote control body 10 serves as a support component for the bracket 31, the limiting member 32, the peripheral bracket 21, and the connector 402, and plays a role in fixing the aforementioned components.
[0176] The aforementioned fixing methods include, but are not limited to, bolt fixing, rivet fixing, and adhesive fixing.
[0177] The working principle and operation of the remote control in this embodiment are as follows: When there is no external force, the external bracket 21 is in a flat position due to its own weight. At this time, the tension spring 403 pulls the limiting member 32, and the connecting member 402 pulls the external bracket 21, causing the joystick 30 to be in a folded state. When the external bracket 21 is lifted by an external force, the external bracket 21 pulls the limiting member 32 through the connecting member 402, simultaneously pulling the tension spring 403, causing the joystick 30 to be lifted to the unfolded state. At this time, the remote control body 10 will lock the external bracket 21, and the tension of the tension spring 403 cannot pull the external bracket 21 back. In the folded state, the joystick 30 is retracted and cannot be used normally. In the unfolded state, the limiting member 32 is pulled to the unfolded limit position by the connecting member 402. At this limit position, the limiting member 32 will place the bracket 31 in a dead position. When a non-destructive external force is applied to the joystick 31, it will not move the bracket 31, and will not push the joystick 30 into the folded position.
[0178] In addition, the remote control body 10 can be equipped with a position sensor for the limiting member 32, such as the detection member B 35 in the above embodiment. When the limiting member 32 is detected to be in the extreme position of folding / unfolding, a corresponding command can be issued to the remote control, which can be a power-off command / power-on command.
[0179] Finally, it should be noted that for the four different structural forms of remote controls mentioned above, the following alternative design schemes also exist:
[0180] The limiting element 32 is not limited to a sliding switch; it can also be a push switch, a toggle switch, a slide switch, etc. The number of limiting elements 32 is not limited to one; one limiting element 32 can control multiple brackets 31, or multiple limiting elements 32 can control one bracket 31. In the first structure, the retaining element 92 is not limited to a soft rubber block; it can also be other objects that can clamp the rocker arm 30, such as clips, hooks, tape, etc. In the second structure, the locking structure 80 is not limited to a spring sheet; it can also be a compression spring, a tension spring, a torsion spring, etc. In the third structure, the peripheral bracket 21 is not limited to fixing a screen; it can also fix a mobile phone or other display device. When the peripheral bracket 21 is not fixing a screen, it can be considered a rotary switch; when it functions as a switch, the switch can be a push switch, a toggle switch, a slide switch, etc. The linkage between the peripheral bracket 21 and the limiting element 32 is not limited to the linkage of the transmission pin 401; it can adopt other linkage forms such as linkage between a connecting rod and slider, a gear and rack linkage, or a worm gear linkage. When using other linkage methods, the transmission pin 401 can be removed from the remote control according to the structural design. In the fourth structure, the peripheral bracket 21 is not limited to fixing the screen; it can also be used to fix a mobile phone or other display device. When the peripheral bracket 21 is not fixed to the screen, it can be regarded as a rotary switch. When it functions as a switch, the switch can be a push switch, a toggle switch, a sliding switch, etc. The linkage method between the peripheral bracket 21 and the limiting member 32 is not limited to pull-wire linkage; it can adopt other linkage methods such as linkage between a connecting rod and a slider, a gear and rack linkage, or a worm gear linkage. When using other linkage methods, the rotating shaft can be removed from the remote control according to the structural design.
[0181] In summary, compared to the second structure, the third structure further reduces the manual retracting / untracting of the joystick, preventing accidental triggering or misuse that could damage the mechanism and providing a more user-friendly experience. Compared to the first structure, the third structure further reduces the manual retracting of the joystick followed by triggering the switch, further optimizing the operation and providing a more user-friendly experience. Compared to the fourth structure, the third structure further optimizes the linkage characteristics, improving the reliability of all related components of the remote control and preventing damage or malfunctions caused by prolonged use.
[0182] Example 4
[0183] In some remote control technologies, the antenna can be designed as a foldable structure, allowing it to move relative to the remote control body to fold or unfold. When the remote control is not in use, such as when it is stored in a box or case, the antenna is folded, saving storage space and preventing it from protruding from the remote control's surface, thus reducing the risk of damage. When the remote control needs to be used, the antenna is simply moved from its folded state to its unfolded state.
[0184] However, when using this type of remote control, the user needs to rotate the antenna around multiple different axes and make multiple adjustments to achieve the best signal transmission and reception angle when switching the remote control antenna from the folded state to the unfolded state. Therefore, the operation is complicated and time-consuming.
[0185] To simplify the operation steps of unfolding or / and folding the antenna, this application embodiment designs a remote control that unfolds or / and folds the antenna into place in one step, which can improve the convenience of the remote control.
[0186] As shown in Figures 13 to 16, the remote control of this application embodiment includes: a remote control body 10 and an antenna 50. The antenna 50 is rotatably connected to the remote control body 10, and the antenna 50 can rotate between position A and position B relative to the remote control body 10. Position A is the position when the antenna 50 is in a folded state, and position B is the position when the antenna 50 is in an unfolded state.
[0187] As shown in Figures 13 to 16, the remote controller also includes a positioning component 70, a part of which is connected to the antenna 50 and the other part is connected to the remote controller body 10.
[0188] When the antenna 50 rotates relative to the remote control body 10 to or past position C, the positioning component 70 can automatically move the antenna 50 to a preset position and maintain the antenna 50 in the preset position. The preset position includes at least one of the unfolded position or the folded position corresponding to the antenna 50, and the aforementioned specific position is located between the unfolded position and the folded position corresponding to the antenna 50.
[0189] When the user first unfolds the antenna 50 and applies an initial force to it, causing the antenna 50 to pass position C, the positioning component 70 automatically drives the antenna 50 to rotate back to its final working position. Conversely, the folding and storage process of the antenna 50 is similar and will not be described in detail here.
[0190] As can be seen, in this embodiment of the application, the application of the positioning component 70 enables the antenna 50 to be unfolded or folded in one step without repeated adjustments to the position and orientation of the antenna 50, thereby improving the ease of operation of the remote control.
[0191] For example, the positioning component 70 described above can be an elastic positioning component (e.g., a component such as a spring shaft) or an electrically driven positioning component. Regardless of the structural form, the positioning component 70 can have two positions, one corresponding to holding the antenna 50 in the unfolded position and the other corresponding to holding the antenna 50 in the folded position.
[0192] Optionally, in one embodiment, to prevent excessive movement of the antenna 50 during folding and ensure it is folded properly, as illustrated in Figure 16, the remote control body is provided with a limiting component 101. The limiting component 101 is located on the path of the antenna 50 relative to the remote control body 10. When the antenna 50 moves from position B to position A, the limiting component 101 forms a block at the end of the movement path, preventing the antenna 50 from continuing to move beyond position A. This ensures that the antenna 50 stops moving at position A. It is understood that the limiting component 101 can also have a bidirectional limiting function, that is, in addition to preventing excessive movement of the antenna 50 when moving from position B to position A, it can also prevent excessive movement of the antenna 50 when moving from position A to position B.
[0193] Optionally, in one embodiment, referring to FIG16, the aforementioned limiting member 101 may be a limiting protrusion. When the antenna 50 moves to position A relative to the remote control body 10, one sidewall of the limiting protrusion abuts against the antenna 50, preventing the antenna 50 from continuing to move.
[0194] Furthermore, it is understood that when the limiting component 101 has a bidirectional limiting function, the antenna 50 can abut against one side wall of the limiting protrusion when it moves to position A relative to the remote control body 10, and the antenna 50 can abut against the other side wall of the limiting protrusion when it moves to position B relative to the remote control body 10.
[0195] For example, the limiting protrusion shown in Figure 16 can be a protrusion structure with a cross-section approximately a quarter circle. The two mutually perpendicular sidewalls in this protrusion structure are the first sidewall 101a and the second sidewall 101b, respectively. When the antenna 50 is in position A, it abuts against the first sidewall 101a, and when the antenna 50 is in position B, it abuts against the second sidewall 101b.
[0196] Optionally, in one embodiment, as illustrated in FIG15, a radiator 51 is provided in the antenna 50 for transmitting and receiving signals. The extension direction A of the radiator 51 forms a first angle α with the rotation axis L1 of the antenna 50. This first angle α remains fixed regardless of whether the antenna 50 is in a folded or unfolded position. That is, when unfolding the antenna, the user only needs to rotate the antenna 50 from position A to position B, without needing to further adjust the first angle α between the extension direction A of the radiator 51 and the rotation axis L1 of the antenna 50, to achieve the optimal signal orientation of the antenna. Therefore, this antenna structure simplifies the user's adjustment of the antenna orientation during unfolding, improving the ease of use of the remote control.
[0197] Optionally, in one embodiment, as illustrated in FIG15, the antenna 50 includes a main body 501 and a connecting part 502. The main body 501 and the connecting part 502 can be an integral structure formed by injection molding, and the two are fixed together by injection molding. By injection molding, a space for accommodating the radiator 51 can be provided in advance inside the main body 501, and a mounting hole 5021 can be pre-machined on the connecting part 502, thereby fixing the shape and structure of the antenna 50. The axis of the mounting hole 5021 is also the rotation axis of the antenna 50 relative to the remote control body 10, and the aforementioned first included angle α is the angle formed between the length direction of the main body 501 and the axis of the mounting hole 5021.
[0198] Optionally, in one embodiment, as illustrated in FIG15, the number of antennas 50 is two. When the two antennas 50 are in position A, the two main body parts 501 are stacked together in parallel. At this time, the two antennas 50 are stacked and stored together, which can save storage space and volume, and improve the storage and portability of the remote control.
[0199] Optionally, in one embodiment, a joystick is distributed on each of the left and right sides of the remote control body 10, as shown in FIG15. The remote control body 10 has a split surface M along the left-right direction, and the split surface M is perpendicular to the line connecting the left and right joysticks. The aforementioned antenna 50 forms a second angle β with the rotation axis of the remote control body 10 relative to the split surface M. The difference between the aforementioned first angle α and the second angle β is 90°. Therefore, when the antenna 50 is connected and installed with the remote control body 10 according to this orientation relationship, it can be ensured that when the two antennas 50 are in the folded position, the two main body parts 501 are stacked together in parallel.
[0200] Optionally, in one embodiment, the surface from which the joystick extends in the remote control is the operating surface of the remote control body 10, and the operating surface of the remote control body 10 faces the user when the user operates the remote control. As illustrated in Figures 3 and 4, in the remote control of this embodiment, when the antenna 50 is in the extended position, the antenna 50 extends in a direction away from the operating surface of the remote control body 10. That is, after the user extends the antenna 50 to its extended position, the antenna 50 extends towards the back of the remote control body 10, rather than towards the user. This extended position of the antenna 50 avoids interfering with the user's operation on the operating surface of the remote control body 10.
[0201] Optionally, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG17, when the display module 20 and the antenna 50 are each in their respective unfolded positions, the display module 20 is positioned above the operating surface of the remote control body 10, and the antenna 50 is positioned below the operating surface of the remote control body 10, that is, the antenna 50 is located on the back of the display module 20, which can prevent the display module 20 from interfering with the antenna 50. For example, it can prevent the display module 20 from causing electromagnetic shielding to the antenna 50.
[0202] If the unfolded position of antenna 50 corresponds to its extension towards the front of the remote control body 10, then antenna 50 is relatively close to display module 20, and the metal casing or other components of display module 20 may interfere with the transmission and reception performance of antenna 50. In the solution illustrated, the unfolded position of antenna 50 corresponds to its extension away from the operating surface of remote control body 10, which reduces the interference of display module 20 on antenna 50. Furthermore, from a mechanical structure perspective, the folding and unfolding movements of both are less likely to cause interference or collision.
[0203] The following example illustrates a remote control with a foldable antenna provided in this application:
[0204] Referring to the diagrams in Figures 13 to 17, the composition of the remote control in this embodiment and the functions of each component are described below:
[0205] The positioning component 70, taking a spring shaft as an example, serves as the energy storage component of the remote control. The spring shaft uses its internal cam structure to position itself at the minimum potential energy position. One end of the spring shaft is fixed to the outer casing of the antenna 50, and the other end is fixed to the remote control body 10. The spring shaft can be a multi-angle spring shaft; this embodiment uses a 180° spring shaft as an example.
[0206] The radiator 501, serving as a radio frequency signal transmitting / receiving component, is fixed inside the housing of the antenna 50. The shape and number of radiators 501 may vary depending on different signal transmission requirements. This embodiment uses two radiators 501 as an example; however, other numbers of radiators are also possible.
[0207] The outer shell of the antenna 50 serves as a support component for the radiator 501 and the spring shaft. The outer shell of the antenna can move within a certain range as the spring shaft rotates. Changes in the shape of the radiator 501 or the spring shaft will alter the shape and number of antenna outer shells. This embodiment uses two antenna outer shells as an example; that is, the remote control in this embodiment has two antennas 50.
[0208] The remote control body 10 serves as a bearing component of the spring shaft and a limiting component of the antenna 50. The remote control body 10 can limit the movement angle of the antenna 50 through the limiting component 101, thereby limiting the movement angle of the spring shaft.
[0209] The aforementioned fixing methods include, but are not limited to, bolt fixing, rivet fixing, and adhesive fixing.
[0210] The working principle of the remote control in this application is as follows: In the absence of external force, the spring shaft rotates the antenna 50 to an unfolded / retracted state using its internal spring potential energy. When the antenna 50 is in the retracted state, it begins to rotate under external force. When the rotation exceeds the highest point of the cam inside the spring shaft, the spring releases its potential energy, causing the antenna 50 to rotate to its maximum unfolded position. Similarly, when the antenna 50 is in the unfolded state, it begins to rotate under external force. When the rotation exceeds the highest point of the cam inside the spring shaft, the spring releases its potential energy, causing the antenna 50 to rotate to its maximum retracted position. Furthermore, the remote control body 10 can be equipped with an antenna 50 position sensor. When the sensor detects that the antenna 50 is in its folded / unfolded maximum position, it can issue a corresponding command to the remote control, which can be a power-off command or a power-on command.
[0211] Finally, as shown in Figure 18, this application embodiment also discloses a control system, which may include a remote controller 100 and a movable platform 200. The remote controller 100 may include the remote controller of any of the foregoing embodiments. Specifically, the remote controller 100 is used to control the movable platform 200. For ease of illustration, Figure 18 only shows one remote controller 100 and one movable platform 200 as an example; it can be understood that in actual scenarios, the number of remote controllers 100 and the number of movable platforms 200 can be arbitrary, and this embodiment does not limit this.
[0212] Both the terminal device 100 and the mobile platform 200 have the ability to communicate with each other. Optionally, information exchange between the remote controller 100 and the mobile platform 200 can be relayed through a cloud server or relay device, or they can communicate directly. Optionally, a communication link can be established between the remote controller 100 and the mobile platform 200, and the two parties can exchange information based on the established communication link. The communication protocol supported by the communication link may include at least one of the communication protocols of cellular mobile communication networks such as Bluetooth, WiFi, and 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G. Optionally, the remote controller 100 can send control commands to the mobile platform 200 through the communication link to control the mobile platform 200. Optionally, the mobile platform 200 can send its status information and / or operation information to the remote controller 100 through the communication link, so that the user can view various information related to the mobile platform 200 through the remote controller 100.
[0213] The mobile platform 200 in this embodiment can refer to any movable device. In some embodiments, the mobile platform 200 may have its own power unit, which can drive the mobile platform 200 to move. In some embodiments, the mobile platform 200 requires an external device to drive its movement. The above is only for illustrative purposes, and this embodiment does not specifically limit how the mobile platform 200 achieves movement. The mobile platform 200 can be a manned platform device or an unmanned platform device. The mobile platform 200 includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: aircraft, vehicles, cleaning equipment, ships, tunnel or pipeline inspection equipment, agricultural robots, logistics vehicles, inspection equipment, underwater operation equipment, handheld gimbals, action cameras, etc., but is not limited to these.
[0214] Taking the mobile platform 200 as an example, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that any type of aircraft can be used without restriction; for example, the aircraft can be small or large. The aircraft can be manned or unmanned. Specifically, the aircraft can include rotorcraft, fixed-wing aircraft, or hybrid fixed-wing / rotorcraft, etc. Among them, rotorcraft can be single-rotor, dual-rotor, tri-rotor, quadcopter, hexacopter, octacopter, decacopter, or dodecacopter, etc. The aircraft can include, but is not limited to, manned aircraft, logistics aircraft, aerial photography aircraft, agricultural plant protection aircraft, and industry rescue aircraft. The above are merely illustrative examples, and the embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the type of aircraft. The aircraft includes unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and manned aircraft, etc. The aircraft can be used for one or more tasks such as aerial photography, aerial reconnaissance, geographic mapping, environmental monitoring, and security patrol.
[0215] By applying the remote controller 100 of this application embodiment in the control system, the operation of the remote controller 100 is simpler, faster, more stable and reliable, and the operation of the movable platform 200 is also more time-saving, which can significantly improve the user's operating convenience and increase the user's acceptance and recognition of the control system.
