Description

  The present invention relates to a mouse type radio control transmitter, and more particularly to a mouse type radio control transmitter for toys and models that can be operated with one hand.

  Conventionally, radio control transmitters for toys and models exist that can be operated with one hand for simple operations such as forward and backward movement. However, in order to reliably perform complicated operations such as forward, backward, left turn, and right turn, there is only a method of fixing the transmitter body with one hand and operating the lever with the opposite hand. For example, as shown in FIG. 1 of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-107592, all operation switches are provided on the surface of the transmitter body, and in particular, a pair of stick levers are operated using both hands. In other words, there has been no transmitter that reliably performs complicated operations such as forward, backward, left turn, and right turn with only one hand.

          JP-A-8-107592

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that a transmission circuit is incorporated in a “mouse” that is generally used worldwide as a tool for simplifying the operation of a computer, and forward, backward, left turn, even with one hand, The object is to provide a “mouse type radio controlled transmitter” that can perform complicated operations such as turning right.

  The present invention was invented as a result of intensive studies to solve the conventional problems as described above, and the shape of the radio-controlled transmitter was formed into a mouse shape, and the front-rear direction slide of the mouse-type radio-controlled transmitter main body was invented. Transmits a transmission signal from the transmission circuit housed in the mouse-type radio control transmitter body to the reception circuit side as an operation signal, and transmits the mouse-type radio control by pressing the right turn click button on the mouse-type radio control transmitter body. Transmits the transmission signal from the transmission circuit housed in the machine body to the reception circuit side as a right turn operation signal, and is housed in the mouse type radio control transmitter body by pressing the left turn click button of the mouse type radio control transmitter body. The lower housing is configured to transmit a transmission signal from the transmission circuit to the reception circuit side as a left turn operation signal. The slide member housed slidably on the inner bottom surface is fixed to a base member located on the lower surface of the lower housing member by a fixing bolt, and an anti-slip material is fixed to an arbitrary position on the lower surface of the base member. In addition, the mouse-type radio control transmitter main body is configured to be able to slide back and forth on the base member, and a pseudo USB cable extended from the mouse-type radio control transmitter main body is used for transmitting the transmitter. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mouse-type radio control transmitter which is an antenna and has a connector attached to the tip of a pseudo USB cable that does not have an original connector function and is attached in a pseudo manner.

  According to the present invention, by making the transmitter body a mouse type with respect to the conventional transmitter using both hands, it can be operated with one hand and can be used easily. In general, a mouse was developed for the purpose of performing complicated computer operations alone. The superiority of its operability is used and guaranteed worldwide, and if you are a computer operator, you are familiar with the use of a mouse. Even for women who have not shown much interest until now, the effect of making it possible to enjoy radio controlled toys and radio controlled models much more easily than conventional transmitters is great.

Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.
In the drawings, FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a mouse type radio control transmitter of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the mouse radio control transmitter of the present invention as seen from the back. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC in FIG. FIG. 4 is a plan view showing an example of a steered body.

  The shape of the radio-controlled transmitter is formed in a mouse shape, and the external shape of the mouse-type radio-controlled transmitter D is formed from the lower housing member 11, the upper housing member 1, the right turn click button 2, and the left turn click button 3. . The antenna 6 is a pseudo USB cable, and a pseudo connector is provided at the tip thereof. Therefore, the mouse type radio control transmitter D of the present invention has the same shape as an existing mouse on the market. This shape is easy to use as a transmitter.

  On the inner bottom surface of the lower housing member 11, there is a slide member 5 slidably housed, and protrusions 51, 51 are formed on both sides of the slide member 5. The slide member 5 is partially fixed to the base member 8 located on the lower surface of the lower housing member 11 by fixing bolts 12. An anti-slip material 9 is fixed at an arbitrary position on the lower surface of the base member 8 so that the main body of the mouse-type radio-controlled transmitter D can slide on the base member 8 back and forth.

  A transmission signal from the transmission circuit 10 housed in the mouse-type radio-controlled transmitter D to the receiving circuit 15 side by sliding the main body of the mouse-type radio-controlled transmitter D in the front-rear direction as indicated by the arrows A or B Is transmitted as a forward / backward operation radio wave signal, and a transmission signal from the transmission circuit 10 to the receiving circuit 15 side is transmitted as a right turn operation signal by pressing the right turn click button 2 of the mouse type radio control transmitter D. When the left turn click button 3 of D is pressed, a transmission signal from the transmission circuit 10 to the reception circuit 15 side is transmitted as a left turn operation signal.

  The pseudo USB cable extended from the mouse-type radio control transmitter D is the transmitting antenna 6 of the transmitter, and the pseudo connector 7 attached to the tip of the pseudo USB cable does not have the original connector function, Attached.

A signal based on the forward / backward movement of the slide member 5 and the operations of the right-turn click button 2 and the left-turn click button 3 is received via the transmission circuit 10 by the receiving circuit 15 of the steered object E taking a traveling toy as an example. As a result, the steered object E can cause the steered object E to perform operations such as forward, reverse, right turn, left turn, right turn or left turn while moving forward, right turn or left turn while moving backward.
The radio controlled car 14 shown in FIG. 4 as an example of the to-be-steered body E can drive the steering of the front wheels 16 or the rear wheels 17 by the drive units 18 and 18 via the receiving circuit 15.

  According to this configuration, one of the left and right traveling directions can be variably operated while moving forward, backward, right, left, or forward to the steered object E with one hand, and the left or right traveling direction can be changed while moving backward. Since the operation can be performed variably, the mouse type radio control transmitter of the present invention is not limited to the radio controlled car 14 shown in FIG. It can also be applied to doll movement.

  It is a whole perspective view of the mouse type radio control transmitter of the present invention.   It is the perspective view which looked at the mouse type radio control transmitter of the present invention from the back.   It is sectional drawing of the arrow AA line of FIG.   It is a top view which shows an example of a to-be-steered body.
