Quick release connection structures, support structures, and remote controllers

Abstract

A remote controller includes a handheld device and a support structure detachably coupled to the handheld device. The handheld device includes a quick release base. The support structure includes a connecting shaft, and a locking member sleeved on the connecting shaft and rotatable around the connecting shaft. The locking member is configured to be rotatably switched between a locked state of being engaged with the quick release base by thread and an unlocked state of being separated from the quick release base.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A remote controller comprising:
 a handheld device including a quick release base; and   a support structure detachably coupled to the handheld device, the support structure including:
 a connecting shaft; and 
 a locking member sleeved on the connecting shaft and rotatable around the connecting shaft, the locking member being configured to be rotatably switched between a locked state of being engaged with the quick release base by thread and an unlocked state of being separated from the quick release base. 
   
     
     
         2 . The remote controller of  claim 1 , wherein the quick release base includes a positioning hole for insertion of the connecting shaft. 
     
     
         3 . The remote controller of  claim 2 , wherein the locking member includes external threads, and the positioning hole includes a threaded hole that engages with the external threads. 
     
     
         4 . The remote controller of  claim 3 , wherein the threaded hole engages with the external threads by screw. 
     
     
         5 . The remote controller of  claim 2 , wherein:
 the locking member includes a threaded hole;   the positioning hole internally includes a limiting barrel;   the connecting shaft passes through the limiting barrel; and   an outer wall of the limiting barrel includes external threads that engage with the threaded hole of the locking member.   
     
     
         6 . The remote controller of  claim 5 , wherein the external threads engage with the threaded hole by screw. 
     
     
         7 . The remote controller of  claim 2 , wherein one end of the connecting shaft that is inserted in the quick release base includes a guiding portion, and a shape of the guiding portion matches a shape of a bottom of the positioning hole. 
     
     
         8 . The remote controller of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the support structure further includes a clamping mechanism; and   the connecting shaft is coupled to the clamping mechanism.   
     
     
         9 . The remote controller of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 a remote controller body fixedly connected to the quick release base;   wherein the clamping mechanism is detachably connected to the remote controller body through the quick release base.   
     
     
         10 . The remote controller of  claim 1 , wherein the locking member is configured to automatically reset to an original position of the locking member after rotating around the connecting shaft. 
     
     
         11 . The remote controller of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 a rotating reset member that provides a rotational torque for the locking member.   
     
     
         12 . The remote controller of  claim 11 , wherein the rotating reset member is sleeved on the connecting shaft, and is connected to the locking member. 
     
     
         13 . The remote controller of  claim 10 , wherein the locking member includes a limiting part for limiting a rotational angle of the locking member relative to the connecting shaft. 
     
     
         14 . The remote controller of  claim 1 , wherein the locking member is configured to remain at a current rotation position of the locking member after rotating around the connecting shaft. 
     
     
         15 . The remote controller of  claim 14 , further comprising:
 a limiting mechanism for limiting the locking member.   
     
     
         16 . The remote controller of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 a connecting member detachably coupled to one end of the connecting shaft that is away from the quick release base.   
     
     
         17 . The remote controller of  claim 16 , wherein:
 the connecting shaft includes a blocking portion; and   two ends of the locking member abut against the connecting member and the blocking portion, respectively.   
     
     
         18 . The remote controller of  claim 16 , further comprising:
 a limiting pin;   wherein:
 the connecting member includes a shaft hole and a limiting hole in communication with the shaft hole; 
 the connecting shaft is inserted in the shaft hole; and 
 the limiting pin is inserted in the limiting hole and abuts against the connecting shaft.
