Referring to fig. 1 to 3, a remote control 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is used for controlling a mobile platform 2000. The remote control 100 includes a processor 20, a body 10, and an input assembly 30. The processor 20 and the input assembly 30 are provided in the body 10. The body 10 is used to install the personal terminal 200 communicating with the mobile platform 2000. The processor 20 is connected to an input component 30. The input assembly 30 includes an operation member 31 and an interface 32. The interface 32 is used to connect the personal terminal 200 and an external control instruction input device (not shown). The processor 20 is configured to transmit a first input signal generated when the operating element 31 is operated and a second input signal received from the interface 32 as an input of the external control instruction input device to the personal terminal 200 so that the personal terminal 200 can control the mobile platform 2000 to perform a first work task and a second work task according to the first input signal and the second input signal, respectively. Wherein the first work task is different from the second work task.

The remote control 100 of the embodiment of the present application utilizes the personal terminal 200 and the external control command input device connected via the interface 32 to add an approach for input operation, which increases the convenience of using the remote control 100 and expands the use scene of the remote control 100, and at the same time, meets more control requirements of the user on the mobile platform 2000.

It can be understood that the remote controller 100 is connected to the personal terminal 200 and the external control instruction input device through the interface 32, the personal terminal 200 can be wirelessly connected to the mobile platform 2000 to implement wireless communication, and the wireless connection mode can be WIFI, bluetooth, infrared, and the like. The personal terminal 200 may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart wearable device, a navigator, or other terminals. The external control command input device may include, but is not limited to, a keyboard, a mouse, a touch pad, a writing pad, etc.

Specifically, the interface 32 includes a first interface 321 and a second interface 322 which are arranged at intervals. The first interface 321 is used for connecting an external control instruction input device, and the second interface 322 is used for connecting the personal terminal 200. The type of the first interface 321 and the second interface 322 may be the same or different. For example, the first interface 321 and the second interface 322 are of the same type, and may be any type of interface, such as a USB interface, a lightning interface, or a type-C interface.

In addition, in addition to signal transmission, the external control instruction input device may charge the remote controller 100 through the first interface 321, or the remote controller 100 may charge the external control instruction input device through the first interface 321. The personal terminal 200 may charge the remote controller 100 through the second interface 322, or the remote controller 100 may charge the personal terminal 200 through the second interface 322.

The operation member 31 of the remote controller 100 generates a first input signal based on the operation of the user and transmits the first input signal to the personal terminal 200, and the personal terminal 200 controls the mobile platform 2000 to perform a first work task according to the first input signal. The external control instruction input device generates a second input signal, the second input signal is transmitted to the remote controller 100 and then transmitted to the personal terminal 200 through the remote controller 100, and the personal terminal 200 controls the mobile platform 2000 to execute a second work task according to the second input signal.

The operation members 31 of the remote controller 100 may include a joystick, a button, a wheel, a stick, a touch device, and the like, and the number of the operation members 31 may be single or plural. Mobile platform 2000 may be an unmanned aerial vehicle, an unmanned ship, a robot, or the like. For example, the first input signal and the second input signal may be used for controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to perform work tasks such as flying, shooting, plant protection, detecting, and the like, or the first input signal and the second input signal may be used for controlling the unmanned vehicle to perform work tasks such as evasion, acceleration, shooting, and the like. The first input signal and the second input signal respectively control the mobile platform 2000 to perform different work tasks.

Note that the remote control 100 of the present application corresponds to an input device and a relay device, and the remote control 100 is not directly connected to the mobile platform 2000 but connected to the mobile platform 2000 through the personal terminal 200.

Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, mobile platform 2000 includes a body 2100 and a head mechanism 2200 mounted to body 2100. The first input signal is used to control the movement of the main body 2100, and the second input signal is used to control the movement of the head mechanism 2200. Alternatively, the first input signal is used to control the movement of the head mechanism 2200, and the second input signal is used to control the movement of the main body 2100.

It is understood that the first input signal is generated by the remote control 100 and the second input signal is generated by an external control command input device. The personal terminal 200 controls the mobile platform 2000 to perform the first work task according to the first input signal, and controls the mobile platform 2000 to perform the second work task according to the second input signal. In this embodiment, the first task is to control the movement of the main body 2100, and the second task is to control the movement of the head mechanism 2200. In this way, the movement of the main body 2100 and the movement of the head mechanism 2200 are separately controlled, facilitating the user's operation. Body 2100 is the body of mobile platform 2000. In the example of fig. 4, mobile platform 2000 is an unmanned aerial vehicle. The head mechanism 2200 is detachably mounted to the main body 2100.

In some embodiments, personal terminal 200 communicates wirelessly with mobile platform 2000. The personal terminal 200 is used to generate a third input signal when operated. The third input signal is used to control mobile platform 2000.

It is to be understood that the personal terminal 200, when operated, generates a third input signal for controlling the mobile platform 2000. When the mobile platform 2000 is an unmanned aerial vehicle, the third input signal may be used to control the unmanned aerial vehicle to perform work tasks such as flying, shooting, plant protection, and detection. When the mobile platform 2000 is an unmanned vehicle, the third input signal may be used to control the unmanned vehicle to perform tasks such as evasion, acceleration, shooting, and the like. The control of the work task of mobile platform 2000 by the third input signal may be the same as the control of the work task of mobile platform 2000 by the first input signal, or the same as the control of the work task of mobile platform 2000 by the second input signal. Of course, the control of the work task of the mobile platform 2000 by the third input signal may be different from the control of the work task of the mobile platform 2000 by the first input signal and the control of the work task of the mobile platform 2000 by the second input signal.

In the example of fig. 4, the third input signal may be used to control the movement of body 2100 of the unmanned aerial vehicle and may also be used to control the movement of pan and tilt head mechanism 2200.

Typically, personal terminal 200 includes an input component, for example, for a cell phone, the input component of personal terminal 200 includes touch screen display 210, and the user controls mobile platform 2000 through an application interface displayed on touch screen display 210. The third input signal is generated when the user operates an input component of the personal terminal, and may be used to control the mobile platform 2000.

Further, the touch display screen 210 of the personal terminal 200 may also display operating parameters of the mobile platform 2000 (unmanned aerial vehicle), such as a flight trajectory, a flight speed, a flight map, and the like. The touch screen 210 of the personal terminal 200 may also display an image frame captured by the mobile platform 2000, and the user may select a target in the image frame displayed on the touch screen 210.

In an embodiment of the remote control 100 of the present application, the mobile platform 2000 is an unmanned aerial vehicle, the personal terminal 200 is a mobile phone, and the external control instruction input device includes a keyboard and a mouse, which may be a mouse with a USB connection line, a keyboard with a USB connection line, or a wireless keyboard and mouse set. The operation device 31 includes a rocker, and the first interface 321 and the second interface 322 are both USB interfaces. The unmanned aerial vehicle and the mobile phone are in wireless connection communication through WIFI. The first interface 321 may be plugged into a USB connection line to connect the mouse and/or the keyboard, or may be plugged into a USB wireless receiver of a wireless keyboard and mouse set to connect the wireless keyboard and mouse set, and the USB wireless receiver may be connected to both the wireless keyboard and the wireless mouse. The second interface 322 is connected to the mobile phone through a USB cable.

In this embodiment, a first input signal generated by the operation of the joystick by the user and a second input signal generated by the operation of the keyboard and/or the mouse by the user are transmitted to the mobile phone through the remote controller 100, and the mobile phone controls the operation of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the first input signal and the second input signal. The first input signal is used to control the flight direction of the body 2100 of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The second input signal is used to control the rotational direction of cradle head mechanism 2200 of the unmanned aerial vehicle. In addition, the user may also operate the application interface displayed on the touch display screen 210 of the mobile phone to generate a third input signal, where the third input signal may be used to control a shooting device installed in the cradle head mechanism 2200 to shoot, or used to control the flying direction, flying speed, etc. of the body 2100, or used to control the rotating direction, rotating speed, etc. of the cradle head mechanism 2200.

Referring to fig. 1-3, 5 and 6, in some embodiments, the body 10 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12 movably connected to each other. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are slidable relative to each other to switch between an extended state (shown in fig. 5 and 6) and a collapsed state (shown in fig. 1). In the pulled-out state, the remote controller 100 is used to hold the personal terminal 200 by the first housing 11 and the second housing 12.

It is understood that, in the case of the incorporated state, the user may pull the first casing 11 or the second casing 12 to slide them relatively away and switch to the pulled-apart state; in the case of the pulled-apart state, the user may push the first housing 11 or the second housing 12 to slide them relatively close to each other and switch to the incorporated state. In the embodiment of the present application, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 can slide left and right, and in other examples, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 can also slide up and down.

Specifically, the body 10 may serve as a housing of the remote controller 100. The circuit board, the processor 20, the power module, the communication module, the operation member 31, the interface 32, and the like of the remote controller 100 may be mounted on the main body 10. The body 10 may also provide protection for the above-described devices, for example, for dust, water, fall, etc. The user can hold the body 10 to hold the remote control 100, and the user can also hold the body 10 with the holding device to hold the remote control 100.

Further, referring to fig. 1, 5 and 6, the operating member 31 is detachably mounted on the body 10. The body 10 is formed with a housing space 13, and the housing space 13 can be used to house the operating element 31. When the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are in the separated state, the housing space 13 is exposed from the main body 10, and the operation element 31 can be detached from the main body 10 and housed in the housing space 13. When the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are switched to the incorporated state, the operation member 31 is hidden in the main body 10.

When the operation member 31 is disposed on the body 10, the operation member 31 may be at least partially exposed from the body 10, so that a user may operate the operation member 31 to generate the first input signal. The operation member 31 may be a rocker, a button, a thumb wheel, a lever, a touch device, or the like, and the number of the operation members 31 may be single or plural. The operation member 31 may be mounted on the first housing 11 or on the second housing 12, or on both the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. The embodiment of the present application takes the operating member 31 as an example of a rocker. Taking the mobile platform 2000 as an unmanned aerial vehicle as an example, a user may generate a first input signal by operating a joystick to control a flight direction, an acceleration magnitude, an acceleration direction, and the like of the unmanned aerial vehicle body 2100 through the personal terminal 200.

When the user does not need to use the operation member 31, for example, when the user does not need to use the operation member 31 for performing a certain operation or needs to carry the remote control 100, it is often desirable to detach the operation member 31 from the body 10 to reduce the overall size of the remote control 100 and to prevent the operation member 31 from being exposed and damaged. At this time, the user can pull the first housing 11 or the second housing 12 to open them, expose the accommodating space 13 from the body 10, and detach the operating element 31 from the body 10 to accommodate in the accommodating space 13; the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are then combined, and the main body 10 shields the accommodating space 13 again, so that the operating element 31 is hidden in the main body 10.

In summary, when the user does not need to use the operation element 31, the user can detach the operation element 31 from the body 10 to make the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 in the separated state and expose the accommodating space 13, the detached operation element 31 can be accommodated in the accommodating space 13, and then the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are in the combined state, the operation element 31 is hidden in the body 10, the outer size of the remote controller 100 is not increased, the remote controller 100 is easy to carry, and the operation element 31 is not easy to lose or be damaged.

Referring to fig. 1 and 7, in some embodiments, the first housing 11 includes a first sidewall 111, and the second housing 12 includes a second sidewall 121. In the case of the pulled-apart state, the first side wall 111 is separated from the second side wall 121; in the case of the merged state, the first sidewall 111 is combined with the second sidewall 121. The receiving space 13 includes a first space 131 and a second space 132. The first space 131 is formed on the first sidewall 111, and the second space 132 is formed on the second sidewall 121. The operating element 31 is partially housed in the first space 131, and the other part is housed in the second space 132.

Specifically, the first space 131 may extend through the first sidewall 111, and the second space 132 may extend through the second sidewall 121, with the first space 131 aligned with the second space 132. In the case of the incorporated state, the first space 131 and the second space 132 communicate and together form the receiving space 13. After the operating element 31 is detached from the body 10 in the pulled state, a part of the operating element 31 can be accommodated in the first space 131, and the other part of the operating element extends out of the first space 131; after the switch to the merging state, the other portion extends into the second space 132, and the first sidewall 111 and the second sidewall 121 are combined, so that the user can not see the operating member 31 from the appearance.

When the operation member 31 needs to be remounted on the body 10, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 can be switched to the pulled-apart state. In this process, the first space 131 is separated from the second space 132. When the operating element 31 is partially stored in the first space 131 and partially exposed from the storage space 13, or when the operating element 31 is partially stored in the second space 132 and partially exposed from the storage space 13, the user can grasp the portion of the operating element 31 exposed from the storage space 13 and take out the remaining portion of the operating element 31 stored in the first space 131 or the second space 132, thereby facilitating the user to take out the operating element 31.

Of course, in other embodiments, the storage space 13 may be formed entirely on the first side wall 111, or the storage space 13 may be formed entirely on the second side wall 121.

Referring to fig. 8 and 9, in some embodiments, the remote control 100 further includes a fixing member 40. The fixing member 40 is disposed in the receiving space 13. When the operating element 31 is accommodated in the accommodating space 13, the operating element 31 is fixed to the mount 40. Specifically, the fixing member 40 may be disposed in the first space 131 or the second space 132. The operating member 31 is fixed on the fixing member 40, and the fixing member 40 can provide clamping force to the operating member 31, so that the operating member 31 is prevented from shaking in the accommodating space 13 to be damaged or generate abnormal noise when the operating member 31 is accommodated in the accommodating space 13.

In the example of fig. 8 and 9, the first housing 11 includes a first upper case 112 and a first lower case 113. The first upper case 112 and the first lower case 113 are combined to form the receiving space 13, and the fixing member 40 is sandwiched between the first upper case 112 and the first lower case 113. Specifically, after the fixing member 40 is clamped between the first upper shell 112 and the first lower shell 113, the fixing member 40 is fixed relative to the first housing 11, and an additional positioning device is not required to be provided to fix the fixing member 40.

Referring to fig. 8 and 9, in some embodiments, the fixing member 40 is formed with a fixing hole 41. When the operating member 31 is fixed to the fixing member 40, the operating member 31 extends at least partially into the fixing hole 41, and the fixing member 40 is elastically deformed and applies an elastic force to the operating member 31 to hold the operating member 31. The fixing hole 41 may be exposed from the first sidewall 111, and the fixing member 40 may be made of a material having a good elasticity, such as silicon rubber or rubber. One end portion of the operating member 31 may have a size slightly larger than that of the fixing hole 41. In the process that the user packs the operating part 31 into the fixing hole 41, the fixing part 40 is elastically deformed, that is, the size of the fixing hole 41 is increased to adapt to the size of the end part, the fixing part 40 clamps the operating part 31, the operating part 312 is not easy to shake, and when the operating part 31 needs to be taken out, the operating part 31 can be pulled out.

Referring to fig. 1 and 6, in some embodiments, the remote control 100 further includes a mounting base 50. The mount 50 is provided on the first housing 11 and/or the second housing 12, and the operation element 31 is detachably mounted on the mount 50. The mounting seat 50 may serve as an adapter of the operation element 31 and the body 10, the mounting seat 50 may be provided on one or both of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, and the operation element 31 may be detachably mounted on any one of the mounting seats 50. In one example, as shown in fig. 6, the mount 50 is completely received in the body 10 so that the operating member 31 does not protrude from the body 10 after the operating member 31 is detached from the mount 50.

The operating member 31 is detachably connected to the mount 50, and specifically, in the example of fig. 1 and 6, the operating member 31 and the mount 50 may be connected by a screw. An external thread is formed on the outer wall of one end of the operating member 31, and an internal thread is formed on the mounting seat 50, or the operating member 31 is screwed into or out of the mounting seat 50 to realize the detachable connection of the two.

Referring to fig. 7 and 10, in some embodiments, the remote control 100 includes a damping assembly 60. The damper assembly 60 includes a first damper member 61 and a second damper member 62 that cooperate with each other. The first damper 61 is connected to the first housing 11, and the second damper 62 is connected to the second housing 12. When the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 slide relative to each other, the first damping member 61 and the second damping member 62 move relative to each other and generate a damping force acting on the first housing 11 and/or the second housing 12.

It can be understood that when the first casing 11 and the second casing 12 slide relatively, the first damping member 61 and the second damping member 62 move relatively and generate a damping force acting on the first casing 11 and/or the second casing 12, so that the speed of the first casing 11 and the second casing 12 is easy to control and the hand feeling of a user is good during the relative movement.

Referring to fig. 9 and 10, in the embodiment of the present application, the first damping member 61 is a rack gear, and the second damping member 62 is a damping gear. When the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 slide relative to each other, the damping gear rotates and generates a damping force. The rack may be fixedly connected to the first housing 11, for example, the rack is integrally formed with the first housing 11, or the rack is fixedly clamped by the first upper shell 112 and the first lower shell 113 on the first housing 11. The rack extends in a direction in which the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 slide relative to each other. In the embodiment of the present application, the track along which the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 slide relative to each other is a straight line, and the rack extends along the direction of the straight line. Of course, in other embodiments, the track along which the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 slide relative to each other may be an arc line, and the rack may extend along the direction of the arc line. In addition, the contact area of the matching of the rack and the damping gear is large, the matching reliability of the rack and the damping gear is high, and dislocation is not easy to occur.

Further, a damper gear may be rotatably coupled to the second housing 12. Specifically, the damping gear comprises a fixed part and a rotating part which can rotate relatively. A labyrinth groove can be arranged between the fixed part and the rotating part, and viscous damping grease is filled in the labyrinth groove. The fixed portion may be fixedly connected to the second housing 12 and the rotating portion may be engaged with the rack. When the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 slide relatively, the second housing 12 drives the fixing portion to move. Because the rotating part is matched with the rack, the acting force of the rack enables the rotating part to rotate relative to the fixed part, damping grease between the fixed part and the rotating part is rubbed to generate damping force, and the damping force finally provides a retarding hand feeling when the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 slide relatively for a user.

Of course, the specific form of the first damping member 61 and the second damping member 62 is not limited to the above discussion, and other options are also possible, for example, the first damping member 61 may be configured as a damping gear, and the second damping member 62 may be configured as a rack. The damping gear is rotatably connected to the first housing 11, and the rack is fixed to the second housing 12. The rack extends along the direction of relative sliding between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, when the second housing 12 is pulled, the second housing 12 drives the rack to move, and the rack drives the damping gear to rotate so as to generate damping force.

Referring to fig. 9 and 10, in some embodiments, the second housing 12 includes a connecting portion 122, a guiding portion 123 and a holding portion 124 connected in sequence. The connecting portion 122 is located in the first housing 11 and connected to the second damping member 62. The guide portion 123 is used for guiding the relative sliding of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. The grip portion 124 is located outside the first housing 11.

It can be understood that when the second housing 12 slides relative to the first housing 11, the depth of the second housing 12 extending into the first housing 11 changes. Specifically, in the case of the fully pulled-apart state, the depth of the second housing 12 protruding into the first housing 11 is minimum; in the case of the incorporated state, the depth of the second housing 12 protruding into the first housing 11 is the greatest. The connecting portion 122 may be located in the first housing 11 at all times, and the connecting portion 122 may be used to connect with the second damping member 62.

In the present embodiment, the second damper 62 may be located in the first housing 11 at all times. When the second housing 12 slides relative to the first housing 11, the depth of the guiding portion 123 extending into the first housing 11 is mainly changed, and the guiding portion 123 is used for guiding the relative sliding of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, that is, guiding the direction of the relative sliding of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. The grip 124 is located outside the first housing 11, and the user may grasp the grip 124 when operating the remote control 100, or may grasp the grip 124 and pull the second housing 12.

Referring to fig. 10-12, in combination with the first housing 11 including the first upper shell 112 and the first lower shell 113, the first upper shell 112 and the first lower shell 113 may form an accommodating space 117. The damping assembly 60 and at least a portion of the second housing 12 may be received in the receiving space 117. Specifically, the first damper 61, the second damper 62, and the connecting portion 122 may be accommodated in the accommodating space 117, and the depth of the guide portion 123 accommodated in the accommodating space 117 may be changed by relatively sliding the first housing 11 and the second housing 12.

Referring to fig. 9, in some embodiments, the first housing 11 includes a first sidewall 111, the holding portion 124 includes a second sidewall 121, and the second sidewall 121 is opposite to the first sidewall 111. In the case of the pulled-apart state, the first sidewall 111 is separated from the second sidewall 121, and in the case of the merged state, the first sidewall 111 is combined with the second sidewall 121. The first sidewall 111 is formed with a through hole 114, and the guiding portion 123 penetrates through the through hole 114 and can slide relative to the first sidewall 111.

The through hole 114 can communicate with the accommodating space 117, the guide part 123 slides in the through hole 114, and the cross-sectional shape of the guide part 123 can be substantially the same as that of the through hole 114, so that the inner wall of the through hole 114 can well limit the guide part 123 and prevent the guide part 123 from shaking.

Referring to fig. 9 to 11, in some embodiments, the second housing 12 further includes a limiting portion 126. The stopper 126 is located in the first housing 11. The limiting portion 126 is disposed at an end of the guiding portion 123 away from the holding portion 124. When the limiting portion 126 abuts against the first sidewall 111, the holding portion 124 is pulled to a state farthest from the first housing 11.

Specifically, the guide portion 123 may pass through the through hole 114 and slide in the through hole 114, the limiting portion 126 may be a protrusion extending outward from the guide portion 123, the limiting portion 126 may be a plurality of spaced protrusions, or an annular protrusion surrounding the guide portion 123, and the limiting portion 126 may be disposed at a position where the guide portion 123 meets the connection portion 122. The limiting portion 126 is located in the first housing 11, the limiting portion 126 cannot pass through the through hole 114, and when the second housing 12 is pulled to the limiting position, the limiting portion 126 abuts against the first sidewall 111, so as to prevent the connecting portion 122 and other components from being pulled out of the first housing 11.

Referring to fig. 10-12, in some embodiments, the first housing 11 includes a first guide 116. The second housing 12 includes a second guide 127, and the second guide 127 may be formed on the connection portion 122 and the guide portion 123. The first guide 116 and the second guide 127 extend in a direction in which the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 slide relative to each other. The first guide 116 and the second guide 127 cooperate with each other to guide the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 to slide relative to each other.

Specifically, the first guide 116 may be formed on the first upper case 112, and the second guide 127 is correspondingly formed on a side of the second housing 12 close to the first upper case 112; or the first guide 116 may be formed on the first lower case 113, and the second guide 127 may be correspondingly formed on the side of the second case 12 close to the first lower case 113; or the first guide 116 may be formed on the first upper case 112 and the first lower case 113 at the same time. The first guide 116 and the second guide 127 cooperate to guide the sliding direction of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, so as to prevent the positions of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 from being dislocated. In the present embodiment, the first guide 116 and the second guide 127 each extend along a straight line.

In the example of fig. 11 and 12, the first guide 116 is a guide rail and the second guide 127 is a guide groove that mates with the guide rail. The guide rails may be formed on the first lower case 113, and the number of the guide rails may be single or plural, for example, two. Correspondingly, a guide groove is formed at one side of the connection part 122 and the guide part 123 close to the first lower case 113. The guide rail extends into the guide groove, and in the process of relative sliding between the guide rail and the guide groove, the guide rail cannot be separated from the guide groove, and the guide rail is always limited by the guide groove to slide along the extending direction of the guide groove, so that the relative sliding direction between the second shell 12 and the first shell 11 can be limited in the extending direction of the guide groove.

Of course, in other examples, the first guide 116 and the second guide 127 may be in other specific forms. For example, the first guide member 116 is a guide groove, and the second guide member 127 is a guide rail engaged with the first guide member 116, which is not limited herein.

Referring to fig. 2 and 13, in some embodiments, the body 10 is formed with a front surface 14 and a back surface 15 opposite to each other. A recess 115 is formed where the first sidewall 111 intersects the back surface 15. The second housing 12 further includes a protrusion 125, and the protrusion 125 extends from the second sidewall 121 toward the first sidewall 111. In the merged state, the protrusion 125 is engaged with the groove 115. The front surface 14 may be a surface facing a user when the user normally uses the remote control 100, and when the user holds the remote control 100, a thumb may be placed on the front surface 14, and an index finger, a middle finger, a ring finger, and the like may be placed on the back surface 15. In the combined state, the protrusion 125 extends into the groove 115, so that the user's hand does not touch the gap between the first sidewall 111 and the second sidewall 121, and the hand feeling is better.

Referring to fig. 7, 11 and 12, in some embodiments, the remote control 100 includes a resilient member 70. The elastic member 70 is connected to the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, respectively. In the pulled-out state, the elastic element 70 applies an elastic force to the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 to drive the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 to switch to the combined state.

It can be understood that the elastic member 70 applies an elastic force to the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, and the elastic force makes the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 always have a movement tendency of maintaining the combined state. Specifically, under the condition that the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are in the combined state, the elastic force can be used as a pre-tightening force for combining the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, and a user can pull the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 apart after overcoming the pre-tightening force. When the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are in the separated state, if the separated state is maintained without depending on an external force, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are automatically switched to the combined state by the driving action of the elastic force.

In the embodiment of the present application, the elastic member 70 includes a spring, and two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. In the pulled-apart state, the spring is stretched to provide the elastic force. Specifically, a first connecting member 11a may be disposed in the first housing 11, a second connecting member 12c may be disposed in the second housing 12, and one end of the spring is fixed to the first connecting member 11a and the other end is fixed to the second connecting member 12 c. In the incorporated state, the spring is elongated to provide a preload force of the coupling between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. As the second housing 12 and the first housing 11 are gradually pulled apart, the first connecting member 11a and the second connecting member 12c are gradually separated, the spring is further gradually elongated, and the elastic force is gradually increased. In other embodiments, the purpose of applying elastic force to the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 can also be achieved by compressing springs. In the combined state, the spring is compressed and applies a pre-load force to the first housing 11 and the second housing 12; as the second housing 12 and the first housing 11 are gradually pulled apart, the spring is further gradually compressed, and the elastic force is gradually increased.

Of course, the specific form of the elastic member 70 may be other, and is not limited herein. For example, the elastic member 70 may be a coil spring, a fixed end of which is connected to the first housing 11 and a movable end of which is connected to the second housing 12. In the pulled-apart state, the coil spring is stretched to provide an elastic force. In the condition of the combined state, the movable end is partially pulled out to provide a pre-tightening force for the combination between the first shell 11 and the second shell 12; as the second housing 12 and the first housing 11 are gradually pulled apart, the movable end is gradually separated from the fixed end, the coil spring is gradually extended, and the elastic force is gradually increased.

Referring to fig. 7, 11 and 12, in some embodiments, the second housing 12 includes a second upper shell 128 and a second lower shell 129. The second upper case 128 and the second lower case 129 are coupled to each other. The second upper case 128 and the second lower case 129 together form a receiving groove 12a, and the receiving groove 12a is used for receiving the elastic member 70. Specifically, the second upper case 128 and the second lower case 129 may be coupled to each other by means of snap-fit, screw-fit, adhesion, or the like. The second upper case 128 forms a part of the receiving groove 12a, and the second lower case 129 forms another part of the receiving groove 12 a. The elastic member 70 is sandwiched between the second upper case 128 and the second lower case 129, and the elastic member 70 is received in the receiving groove 12 a. The elastic member 70 can be deformed along the extending direction of the receiving groove 12a, so as to prevent the elastic member 70 from being removed.

Meanwhile, in the embodiment of the present application, the second damping member 62 may also be clamped between the second upper shell 128 and the second lower shell 129, and the second damping member 62 is rotatably connected with the second upper shell 128 and the second lower shell 129.

Referring to fig. 3, 14 and 15, in some embodiments, the first housing 11 includes a first retaining wall 118, the second housing 12 includes a second retaining wall 12b, and the first retaining wall 118 is disposed opposite to the second retaining wall 12 b. The first and

second clamping walls

118 and 12b form a clamping space 16 therebetween. In the pulled-apart state, the first holding wall 118 and the second holding wall 12b are used to hold the personal terminal 200 placed in the holding space 16.

It can be understood that, when the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are in the pulled-apart state, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 tend to switch to the combined state under the action of elastic force, that is, when the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are in the pulled-apart state, the first holding wall 118 and the second holding wall 12b tend to approach each other. At this time, the first and second holding

walls

118 and 12b may be used to hold the personal terminal 200 therebetween, and the personal terminal 200 may be clamped by the elastic force without the user holding the personal terminal 200 again with his or her hand. The holding space 16 may be formed recessed in the front face 14 of the remote control 100.

When the personal terminal 200 needs to be held, the first housing 11 or the second housing 12 can be pulled to place the personal terminal 200 in the holding space 16, the first housing 11 or the second housing 12 is released, and the two housings are gradually combined under the action of the elastic member 70 until the first holding wall 118 and the second holding wall 12b both hold the personal terminal 200, and at this time, the personal terminal 200 is held on the remote control 100. When the personal terminal 200 needs to be removed from the remote controller 100, the first housing 11 or the second housing 12 may be pulled open to release the personal terminal 200, and then the personal terminal 200 may be removed from the holding space 16. Under the action of the elastic force, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 can be automatically restored to the combined state.

Referring to fig. 3, 14 and 15, in some embodiments, the interface 32 is used to connect the personal terminal 200 via a connection line. The first holding wall 118 is formed with a first avoiding groove 119, and the first avoiding groove 119 passes through one end of the first holding wall 118. The first avoiding groove 119 is used to accommodate a portion of the connection line. The first avoiding groove 119 provides a routing space to accommodate a portion of the connection line, thereby preventing the connection line from being easily accidentally pulled.

Further, a second avoiding groove is formed in the second clamping wall 12b, and the second avoiding groove penetrates through one end of the second clamping wall 12 b. The second avoidance groove is used for accommodating part of the connecting wire. The function of the second avoidance groove may be the same as that of the first avoidance groove 119, and will not be described herein.

In some embodiments, remote control 100 further includes a positioning component. The positioning component comprises a latch and a clamping block. The latch is provided on the second housing 12. The latch is provided on the first housing 11. The fixture block can be matched with different positions of the fixture tooth, so that the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are positioned at corresponding pull-apart positions.

Specifically, with the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 being at different relative positions, the latch may be aligned with different positions of the latch, and when the latch is engaged with the different positions of the latch, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are positioned at the corresponding positions. When the positions of the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 need to be changed, the clamping block can be separated from the clamping teeth.

Referring to fig. 2 and 13, in some embodiments, the body 10 includes a front surface 14 and a back surface 15 opposite to each other. The remote control 100 includes a stand 80 disposed on the back 15. The bracket 80 is rotatably connected with the body 10, and different included angles can be formed between the bracket 80 and the body 10.

Specifically, one side of the bracket 80 may be rotatably connected to the first housing 11, and the bracket 80 may be bent out and form an angle with the body 10 so as to place the remote controller 100 on a support platform (e.g., a desktop), and the bracket 80 is used to support the remote controller 100. The stand 80 may also be rotated to fit over the back 15 to facilitate carrying and holding of the remote control 100.

In some embodiments, the remote control 100 further comprises electrical devices disposed on only one of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12.

Specifically, the electric device may refer to any device that needs to be driven by electrical connection or by using electric energy, such as the circuit board, the processor 20, the power supply module, the communication module, and the like. The electric device may be connected to a rocker or a function key. The electric device is provided on only one of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, meaning that the electric device is provided on the first housing 11 and is not provided on the second housing 12; or the electric device is provided on the second housing 12 and not on the first housing 11. In the embodiment of the present application, the electric devices are disposed on the first housing 11 and not disposed on the second housing 12, and there is no need to provide space and structure for routing the electric devices in the second housing 12, so that the structure of the second housing 12 is simplified and the weight of the second housing 12 is light.
