Fold-Out Remote Controller With Integrated Display for Compact Drone Use
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional remote controls require external display screens, leading to complex operations, large packaging spaces, and poor visual experiences due to limited display screen sizes.
Innovation Solution
A remote control with a rotatably connected display assembly, featuring a hinge mechanism and built-in antennas, allowing for a separate display screen that can be easily opened or closed for convenient use and compact storage, and improving the visual experience by separating operation and display regions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If an external display screen is connected to the remote control, then the display area can be increased, but the operation becomes complex and the packaging space required increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is integrated into the remote control body through a hinge connection, merging the display function with the remote control structure. This eliminates the need for separate clamping members and external connections, thereby increasing display area while reducing operational complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The remote control body is designed to serve multiple functions: it acts as both the control device and the housing for the display screen. The hinge mechanism allows the display assembly to be folded during storage and extended during use, providing both compact portability and large display area
2Area of stationary object
If an external display screen is connected to the remote control, then the display can be used, but the packaging space required increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display assembly is connected via a hinge mechanism that allows it to be dynamically folded against the remote control body during storage and extended during use. This dynamic configuration enables the display to provide large area when needed while minimizing the volume occupied during carriage
Solution Approach 2:
The display assembly is nested within the remote control structure when folded, with the display screen positioned to lie flat against the remote control body. This nesting arrangement minimizes the overall packaging volume while maintaining the full display area capability when deployed
3Area of stationary object
If the display screen is excessively large on the remote control, then the visual experience improves, but the operation of the remote control is blocked
Solution Approach 1:
The hinge mechanism allows the display assembly to be folded to various angles, enabling the user to adjust the display position to an optimal viewing angle that does not block the operation area. The display can be positioned at an angle that provides both large visible area and unobstructed access to control buttons
Solution Approach 2:
The remote control is divided into functionally independent segments: the display assembly and the control body are separable through the hinge connection. This segmentation allows the display to be positioned independently without interfering with the control operations, enabling both large display area and easy operation

AI summary
The present application relates to the field of flying technologies, and in particular, to a remote control and a flying apparatus. The remote control provided in embodiments of the present application includes a remote control body and a display assembly, the display assembly including a display screen and being rotatably connected to the remote control body, so that the remote control has its own display screen. When the remote control is used, the display screen can be seen by turning the display assembly open, and the operation is relatively convenient. When the remote control is not used, the display assembly is closed, so that the space needed for packing the remote control is relatively small, facilitating carriage of the remote control. The remote control body is disposed separate from the display screen, so that an operation region and a display region do not affect each other, and the display area of the display screen can be configured larger, thereby improving the visual experience of a user.
