Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the drones on the market mainly use lithium polymer batteries as the main power, and the battery life is generally between 20 minutes and 30 minutes, depending on the technology. However, most of the battery life is within 45 minutes. But the charging time is more than an hour
Since drones need to reduce the take-off weight as much as possible, they cannot carry heavy large-capacity batteries. Most drones need to replace their batt

Example Embodiment

[0040] Example 1

[0041] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a device for intelligent replacement and locking of a drone battery includes a locking device 1, and the locking device 1 includes a telescopic device 11, a clamping block 12, a sensing device 13 and a control device 2, and the clamping block 12 is connected to the telescopic device 12. The output end of the device 11 is connected, and the sensing device 13 is arranged in the stroke direction of the output end of the telescopic device 11 and cooperates with the clamping block 12 . During operation, the control device 2 controls the telescopic device 11 to work, and the telescopic device 11 drives the clamping block 12 to move back and forth, thereby realizing the clamping or disengagement between the clamping block 12 and the hook 8 of the battery 7 , so as to facilitate the completion of the UAV 6 During the replacement and locking of the battery 7, the sensing device 13 acts as a limiter, making the stroke of the block 12...

Example Embodiment

[0050] Example 2

[0051] like Figure 8 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the conduction mechanism 41 in this embodiment is a cross slide, and the lifting mechanism 42 is arranged at the output end of the cross slide. This design makes the mechanism of the device more streamlined.

[0052] Other structures are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and are not repeated here.

Example Embodiment

[0053] Example 3

[0054] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a method for intelligently replacing and locking the UAV battery of Embodiment 1 or 2 includes the following steps:

[0055] S1, the drone 6 that needs to replace the battery 7 stays on the workbench 3, and the no-load battery 7 on the drone 6 corresponds to the discharge port 31 on the workbench 3;

[0056] S2. The control device 2 controls the conducting device 4 to work, the conducting mechanism 41 adjusts the pallet 5 to the position corresponding to the discharge port 31, the lifting mechanism 42 lifts the pallet 5, and the pallet 5 lifts the empty space of the drone 6 Hold the battery 7;

[0057] S3. The control device 2 controls the locking device 1 in the UAV 6 to work, the telescopic device 11 performs a contraction movement, the output end of the telescopic device 11 drives the block 12 to move, and the block 12 and the no-load battery on the UAV 6 7. When the hook 8 is disengaged, and the block 12 hits the seco...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of drones, and in particular relates to a device and method for intelligent battery replacement and locking of drones. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the development of science and technology, drones have expanded from the military field to the civilian field, especially in agriculture, forestry, electricity, security, etc., which are widely used in civilian fields. While the application range of UAVs is getting wider and wider, there are also various types of UAVs on the market. [0003] At present, the drones on the market mainly use lithium polymer batteries as the main power, and the battery life is generally between 20 minutes and 30 minutes, depending on the technology. However, most of the battery life is within 45 minutes. But the charging time is more than an hour. Since drones need to reduce the take-off weight as much as possible, they cannot carry heavy large-capacity batte...
