Adjustable Trigger Angle Mechanism for Radio Control Transmitters
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing radio control transmitters cannot adjust the angle of the trigger to accommodate the unique finger placement preferences of operators, particularly experts, which can affect the ease of operation.
Innovation Solution
The radio control transmitter incorporates a trigger unit with a rotatable operating unit that can be adjusted in a stepwise or continuous manner by aligning an elongated hole at the tip end of the trigger unit with a fitting hole at the head portion, allowing for horizontal angle adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the trigger unit is made fixed in position and angle, then the device structure is simple, but the adaptability to different operator preferences is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The trigger unit is designed to be rotatable relative to the head portion, allowing the angle to be dynamically adjusted according to operator preference. The rotation mechanism enables the trigger to change its angular position while maintaining functional connection, thus achieving adaptability without excessive structural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The radio control transmitter is divided into separable components: the head portion, grip portion, and rotatable trigger unit. This segmentation allows the trigger unit to be independently adjusted in angle while the rest of the device remains intact, providing adaptability through modular design.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the trigger position is adjusted continuously, then the adaptability to operator preference is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of implementing a fully continuous adjustment mechanism, the patent uses a rotation mechanism that allows the trigger unit to be adjusted to various angular positions. This partial adjustment capability provides sufficient adaptability for different operator preferences while avoiding the complexity of a completely continuous adjustment system.
Solution Approach 2:
The angle of the trigger unit is changed as a variable parameter through rotation. By making the angle adjustable rather than fixed, the system adapts to different operator preferences while maintaining a relatively simple mechanical rotation mechanism rather than a complex multi-parameter adjustment system.

AI summary
A radio control transmitter comprising a grip portion gripped by an operator at the time of performing remote control of a control target, a base portion disposed at one end of the grip portion, and a head portion disposed at the other end of the grip portion and having an operating unit configured to control the control target, and configured to transmit a control signal to the control target in response to an operation of the operating unit is described herein. The head portion includes a fitting hole in which a plurality of round holes are continuously arranged in a width direction of the head portion is formed at a bottom portion of a housing of the head portion, and a horizontal angle of the trigger centered on a holding position of the base end is changed in a stepwise manner.
