Abstract
A remote controller includes a main body of control device, a dial wheel mechanism arranged at the main body of control device, and a controller configured to obtain rotation angle information of the dial wheel mechanism and control movement of an external device according to the rotation angle information. The dial wheel mechanism includes a support, a positioning member disposed at the support, and a rotating member rotatably disposed at the support. The positioning member includes a positioning element and at least one elastic arm disposed at the positioning element. The rotating member is configured to rotate relative to the support, causing the at least one elastic arm to abut against the support and to be elastically deformed. The rotating member includes multiple positioning slots to engage with the positioning element, which is configured to selectively engage with one of the positioning slots.
