Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a technical field of drones, and in particular to a watch-type drone, a remote control thereof, and an operating method thereof.

BACKGROUND

At present, watch-type drones are getting more and more attention because of small size, easy to carry, and convenient for aerial photography at any time. However, when using a watch-type drone, a separate watch-type drone controller is needed to control flight of the watch-type drone, which is troublesome to operate. In order to facilitate control of a drone, Chinese patent No. CN 113552901 A provides a wristwatch-type controller, which uses a control rocker to control a flight direction of the drone. Because the wristwatch-type controller is small in size, the control rocker arranged on the wristwatch-type controller is also relatively small, making the control rocker difficult to control. Moreover, the control rocker is exposed on a top portion of the wristwatch-type controller, so the control rocker is not well protected and the control rocker is easy to be damaged.

SUMMARY

A purpose of the present disclosure is to solve defects in the prior art. The present disclosure provides a watch-type drone that uses a button assembly to control a flight path and a flight speed of a drone, or controls a flight direction of the drone by tilting a remote control worn on a wrist, which is easy to operate and has high reliability.

Embodiment 1

As shown in FIGS. 1-12, the present disclosure provides a watch-type drone. The watch-type drone comprises a watchband 1, a remote control 2, a storage box 3, and a drone 4. An accommodating space is defined in the remote control 2. The remote control 2 is detachably arranged on the watchband 1. The storage box 3 defines a receiving space, and the drone 4 is placed in the receiving space. Optionally, first magnets 34 are arranged on a bottom portion of the storage box 3, and second magnet 29 are arranged in the remote control 2. The first magnets 34 are matched with the second magnets 29. When in use, the bottom portion of the storage box 3 is magnetically connected to the remote control 2, making it easy to remove/assemble the remote control 2.

The remote control 2 comprises a main control board 22 and a button assembly 23. The main control board 22 is mounted in the accommodating space. The button assembly 23 is mounted on two sides of the main control board 22 and is electrically communicated with the main control board 22. Through holes 24 are defined on two sides of the remote control 2. The button assembly 23 is exposed from the through holes 24. The button assembly 23 is configured to control a flight path and a flight speed of the drone.

As shown in FIG. 12, the button assembly 23 comprises a button A, a button B, a button C, and a button D. The button A and the button B are arranged on a first side of the remote control 2. The button C and the button D are arranged on a second side of the remote control 2. When the button B and the button D are short pressed: the drone 4 is controlled to roll over. When the button B and the button D are long pressed, the remote control 2 is controlled to enter a time adjustment mode. When the button A and the button C are short pressed, the drone 4 is hovered. When the button A and the button C are long pressed, the drone 4 is turned on/turned off. When the button A is short pressed, the drone 4 is controlled to rise. When the button A is short pressed twice, the drone 4 is controlled to fly forward in a fine-tuning mode. When the button A is long pressed, the drone 4 is controlled to take off. When the button A is long pressed twice, the drone 4 is controlled to land. When the button B is short pressed, the drone 4 is controlled to rotate to left or finely adjust to the left. When the button B is long pressed, the drone 4 is calibrated. When the button C is short pressed, the drone is controlled to descend. When the button C is short pressed twice, the drone 4 is controlled to fly backward in the fine-tuning mode. When the button D is short pressed, the drone 4 is controlled to rotate to right or finely adjust to the right. When the button D is short pressed, the flight speed of the drone 4 is controlled to switch between a high speed mode and a low speed mode.

Optionally, in the embodiment, the remote control 2 further comprises a gyroscope sensor communicated with the main control board 22. During operation, when the remote control 2 is tilted forward, the gyroscope sensor senses a forward signal and sends the forward signal to the main control board 22, and the main control board controls the drone 4 to fly forward. When the remote control is tilted backward, the gyroscope sensor senses a backward signal and sends the backward signal to the main control board 22, and the main control board 22 controls the drone 4 to fly backward. When the remote control is tilted leftward, the gyroscope sensor senses a leftward signal and sends the leftward signal to the main control board 22, and the main control board 22 controls the drone 4 to fly toward left. When the remote control 2 is tilted rightward, the gyroscope sensor senses a rightward signal and sends the rightward signal to the main control board 22, and the main control board 22 controls the drone 4 to fly toward right. By controlling the remote control 2 worn on the wrist, the flight path of the drone 4 is controlled in all directions, which improves operability and ease of use of the watch-type drone.

Optionally, in the embodiment, the remote control 2 further comprises a display 25 electrically communicated with the main control board 22. The display 25 is configured to display time. When the storage box 3 is removed, the remote control 2 of the embodiment is able to check the time, which increases functionality of the present disclosure. In addition, a size of a small drone is generally small, and a power supply thereof is relatively small, so a battery life is short. A battery life of the drone 4 of the present disclosure is up to 5 minutes. Therefore, when in use, a user is able to calculate a flight time by the time displayed on the display 25, so that a return time of the drone 4 is calculated and the drone 4 is prevented from falling and breaking due to insufficient power. The remote control 2 of the embodiment comprises a second power supply 27 configured to supply power to the main control board 22 and the display 25. A charging interface 28 configured to charge the second power supply 27 is arranged on a bottom portion of the remote control 2 to facilitate charging of the remote control 2.

At least two second fixing holes 217 matched with the watchband 1 are defined on the bottom portion of the remote control 2. The watchband 1 is a slap bracelet capable of automatically winding. The watchband 1 comprises a plastic layer and a memory metal shrapnel wrapped by the plastic layer. When in use, the watchband 1 is straightened into a straight slap bracelet and is inserted into the first fixing holes 217, and then a rear side of the slap bracelet is gently tapped on the wrist, then the watchband 1 is automatically rolled and wound on the wrist. Therefore, it is easy to replace the watchband 1 or a DIY watchband 1 made by the user can be used. Moreover, the watchband 1 is easy to wear and is wound on the wrist according to a size of the wrist of the user. Of course, in other embodiments, the watchband 1 may also comprise a non-woven layer arranged on an outer side of the watchband 1 and metal parts are arranged in two ends of the watchband 1, so that the watchband 1 of a non-woven structure easily passes through the second fixing holes 217. Velcro are arranged on the two ends of the watchband 1, so that the two ends of the watchband 1 are connected and the watchband 1 is worn on the wrist.

In the embodiment, the flight path and the flight speed of the drone 4 are controlled by the button assembly 23, and no additional remote control is needed to control the flight of the drone 4. Furthermore, the flight direction of the drone 4 is also controlled by controlling a tilt direction of the remote control 2 worn on the wrist, which is simple and convenient to operate. Optionally, a communication protocol between the remote control 2 and the drone 4 is selected from one of a WIFI protocol, a ZigBee protocol, and a GPRS protocol, so the remote control 2 of the present disclosure is able to control similar aircraft, remote control cars, and other toys. The remote control 2 and the storage box 3 where the drone 4 is accommodated are magnetically connected, so the drone 4 is replaced by assembling different storage boxes 3 accommodating different drones 4 on the remote control. Further, when the storage box 3 is removed, the user is able to check the time, so the present disclosure has multiple functions.
