Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and in particular to an electric unmanned aerial vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Drones include electric drones and gasoline-powered drones. Gas-powered drones have complex structures, are expensive, and have high requirements for operation, while electric drones have simple structures, have lower requirements for pilots, and are cheap. Therefore, electric drones are becoming more and more widely used.

[0003] Electric drones need to be equipped with batteries for use. The batteries are usually detachably connected to the electric drones to provide power for the electric drones. Specifically, electric drones are usually fixed with a battery connector, which includes a shell and pins. The pins are installed in the shell and some of the pins are exposed outside the shell. The battery is provided with a socket corresponding to the above-mentioned pins, and the socket on the battery is plugged into the pins in the battery connector, so that an electrical connection between the battery and the electric drone can be achieved. However, the electric drone will change its posture during flight in the air, and the fuselage will tilt forward and backward, left and right, causing the battery to move relative to the battery connector in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the battery connector and the battery are plugged in, resulting in poor contact between the battery and the battery connector, which will lead to safety hazards such as ignition.

[0004] In order to prevent poor contact between the battery and the battery connector when the battery moves, a pin in an existing battery connector can be installed in a floating manner in the housing. When the battery moves, the pin in the battery connector can float in the housing along a direction perpendicular to the pin under the drive of the battery, so that the battery and the battery connector move synchronously, preventing poor contact between the battery and the battery connector.

[0005] However, on the one hand, the floating range of this design is small, and on the other hand, in order to achieve the floating of the pins in the battery connector within the shell, a certain gap needs to exist between the side wall of the battery connector shell and the pins, resulting in poor sealing of the battery connector shell and a safety hazard. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide an electric drone to alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art of poor connection effect and poor sealing of a battery connector on an electric drone.

[0008] The battery connector is used to connect with the battery, and the battery connector is mounted on the frame through an elastic component;

[0009] The elastic component has elastic deformation in a direction perpendicular to the connection direction of the battery connector and the battery, so that the battery connector can float on the frame along a direction perpendicular to the connection direction of the battery connector and the battery under the drive of the battery.

[0010] Further, the frame includes an upper base plate and a lower base plate, and the upper base plate and the lower base plate are arranged in parallel;

[0011] The battery connector is clamped between the upper base plate and the lower base plate, and one end of the battery connector protrudes from the upper base plate to be connected with the battery.

[0012] The elastic component includes a first elastic member and a second elastic member. The battery connector is connected to the upper substrate via the first elastic member arranged on its side wall, and is connected to the lower substrate via the second elastic member arranged on its bottom wall.

[0013] Furthermore, a clearance groove is provided at a position on the side of the upper substrate corresponding to the battery connector;

[0014] A protruding plate is provided at a position on the side of the lower substrate corresponding to the battery connector;

[0015] The battery connector is arranged on the protruding plate and abuts against the accommodating groove.

[0016] Furthermore, the first elastic member and the second elastic member are both strip-shaped;

[0017] One end of the first elastic member is fixed to the side wall of the battery connector close to the clearance groove, the other end of the first elastic member is connected to a side of the upper substrate close to the lower substrate, and the first elastic member is perpendicular to the upper substrate;

[0018] One end of the second elastic member is fixed to a position on the side wall of the battery connector close to the protruding plate and away from the first elastic member, and the other end of the second elastic member is connected to a side of the lower substrate close to the upper substrate, and the second elastic member is perpendicular to the lower substrate.

[0019] Furthermore, the elastic component also includes a first fixing seat and a second fixing seat;

[0020] One end of the first elastic member is fixed to the side wall of the battery connector close to the clearance groove through the first fixing seat;

[0021] One end of the second elastic member is fixed to a position of the battery connector on the side wall close to the protruding plate and away from the first elastic member through a second fixing seat.

[0022] Furthermore, the first elastic member is detachably connected to the first fixing seat, and the first elastic member is detachably connected to the upper substrate;

[0023] The second elastic member is detachably connected to the second fixing seat, and the second elastic member is detachably connected to the lower substrate.

[0024] Furthermore, the rack also includes a ring-shaped battery frame, which is used to accommodate batteries;

[0025] The battery frame is provided with a mounting portion protruding in a direction away from the center of the battery frame, and the mounting portion extends into and abuts between the upper base plate and the lower base plate;

[0026] A mounting platform is formed between the mounting portion, a position on the plate surface of the upper base plate close to the clearance groove and the lower base plate, and the battery connector is located in the mounting platform.

[0027] Furthermore, a plurality of bosses are installed on the surface of the upper substrate away from the lower substrate;

[0028] At least two bosses are respectively located on both sides of the portion of the battery connector protruding from the upper substrate, and the height of the bosses is greater than the height of the portion of the battery connector protruding from the upper substrate;

[0029] There is a gap between the boss and the portion of the battery connector protruding from the upper substrate, so that the battery can be connected to the battery connector after passing through the boss.

[0030] Furthermore, a hook ring is provided on the frame at a position close to the battery connector, and the hook ring is used to hook with the hooking portion on the battery when the battery connector is connected to the battery, so as to confine the battery to the battery connector.

[0031] The electric drone provided by the present invention can produce the following beneficial effects:

[0032] The electric drone provided by the present invention comprises an elastic component, a battery connector and a frame. The battery connector is used to connect with a battery, and the battery connector is installed on the frame through an elastic component. The elastic component has elastic deformation in a direction perpendicular to the battery connector and the battery connection direction, so that the battery connector can float on the frame along the direction perpendicular to the battery connector and the battery connection direction under the drive of the battery. The electric drone provided by the present invention needs to be equipped with a battery, and the battery can be fixed on the frame of the electric drone by a detachable connection method such as hooking or snapping, and the battery is connected to the battery connector. When the electric drone is in flight, the battery moves relative to the frame in a direction perpendicular to the battery connector and the battery connection direction due to the change in the rolling and pitching attitude of the electric drone, because the battery connector connected to the battery is installed on the frame through an elastic component, the moving battery can drive the battery connector together on the frame, along the direction perpendicular to the battery connector and the battery connection direction, that is, the battery and the battery connector can move synchronously, thereby preventing poor contact between the battery and the battery connector. Among them, since the battery connector in the electric drone provided by the present invention is installed on the frame through an elastic component, the battery connector as a whole can move synchronously with the battery through the elastic component. Therefore, the battery connector in the electric drone provided by the present invention does not need to be equipped with an internal floating structure, has a simple structure, good airtightness, and ensures the safety of the battery connector. At the same time, it is easy to install, disassemble and maintain, which can effectively improve the installation efficiency.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the battery connector for connecting to the battery in the electric drone provided by the present invention is installed on the frame through an elastic component, which not only plays a role in stable installation, but also allows the battery connector to move synchronously with the battery to prevent poor contact between the battery and the battery connector. In addition, since the battery connector is installed on the frame through an external elastic component, the battery connector does not need to be provided with a gap and is more tightly closed as a whole, the safety of the battery connector can be guaranteed, and it is more convenient to install and maintain, improving the user experience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] Example:

[0048] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the electric drone provided in this embodiment includes an elastic component 1, a battery connector 2 and a frame 3. The battery connector 2 is used to connect with the battery 4, and the battery connector 2 is installed on the frame 3 through the elastic component 1. The elastic component 1 has elastic deformation in a direction perpendicular to the connection direction between the battery connector 2 and the battery 4, so that the battery connector 2 can float on the frame 3 along the direction perpendicular to the connection direction between the battery connector 2 and the battery 4 under the drive of the battery 4.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the electric drone provided in this embodiment needs to be used with a battery 4, and the battery 4 can be fixed on the frame 3 of the electric drone by a detachable connection method such as hooking or snapping. Figure 2 As shown, the battery 4 and the battery connector 2 can be connected together. Specifically, the connection between the battery 4 and the battery connector 2 can be plug-in. The battery connector 2 can include a housing 20 and a pin 21. The pin 21 is fixed inside the housing 20, and part of the pin 21 is exposed outside the housing 20. In order to ensure the safety of the battery connector 2, the exposed part of the pin 21 can be sealed and connected to the side wall of the housing 20. Correspondingly, the battery 4 can be provided with a socket corresponding to the above-mentioned pin 21. After the battery 4 and the battery connector 2 are connected together, the battery 4 can supply power to the battery connector 2, thereby supplying power to the power device connected to the battery connector 2 on the electric drone.

[0050] When the electric drone is in flight, the battery 4 moves relative to the frame 3 in a direction perpendicular to the connection direction between the battery connector 2 and the battery 4 due to the changes in the rolling and pitching directions of the electric drone. Since the battery connector 2 connected to the battery 4 is installed on the frame 3 through the elastic component 1, the moving battery 4 can drive the battery connector 2 on the frame 3 along the direction perpendicular to the connection direction between the battery connector 2 and the battery 4, that is, the battery 4 and the battery connector 2 can move synchronously, and no matter what changes in the drone's posture occur, the battery 4 and the battery connector 2 can be prevented from moving relative to each other in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the connection direction, thereby preventing poor contact between the battery 4 and the battery connector 2. It should be noted that the movement between the battery connector 2 and the battery 4 here includes the displacement between the battery connector 2 and the battery 4, which can be vibration, floating, etc.

[0051] Among them, since the battery connector 2 in the electric drone provided by this embodiment is installed on the frame 3 through the elastic component 1, the battery connector 2 as a whole can move synchronously with the battery 4 through the elastic component 1. Therefore, the battery connector 2 in the electric drone provided by this embodiment does not need to float the pins 21 in the battery connector 2 in the shell 20 of the battery connector 2, and there is no need to set a gap on the battery connector 2 for the floating process of the pins 21 in the battery connector 2. The battery connector 2 is movable through the external elastic component 1, thereby improving the airtightness of the battery connector 2, and further ensuring the safety of the use of the battery connector 2.

[0052] Compared with the prior art, the battery connector 2 for connecting with the battery 4 in the electric drone provided in this embodiment is connected to the frame 3 through the elastic component 1, so that the battery connector 2 can move synchronously with the battery 4, preventing poor contact between the battery 4 and the battery connector 2. And because the battery connector 2 is installed on the frame 3 through the elastic component 1, the battery connector 2 can move synchronously with the battery 4, so there is no need to set a gap on the battery connector 2 for the floating process of the pin 21 in the battery connector 2, and the safety of the battery connector 2 can be guaranteed.

[0053] It can be seen that the electric drone provided in this embodiment alleviates the technical problems of poor connection effect and poor sealing of the battery connector existing in the prior art.

[0054] like Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the frame 3 includes an upper base plate 30 and a lower base plate 31, which are arranged in parallel. The battery connector 2 is clamped between the upper base plate 30 and the lower base plate 31, and one end of the battery connector 2 protrudes from the upper base plate 30 to connect with the battery 4.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the portion of the battery connector 2 protruding from the upper substrate 30 is used to connect with the battery 4 .

[0056] The portion of the battery connector 2 protruding from the upper substrate 30 is the plug pin 21 of the battery connector 2 exposed outside the housing 20 .

[0057] The upper substrate 30 and the lower substrate 31 arranged in parallel can support the battery connector 2, so that the battery connector 2 is vertically connected between the upper substrate 30 and the lower substrate 31. When the battery connector 2 is vertically connected between the upper substrate 30 and the lower substrate 31, the battery 4 is connected to the battery connector 2 in a direction perpendicular to the board surface of the upper substrate 30.

[0058] In addition, the upper substrate 30 and the lower substrate 31 can cooperate with each other to clamp the battery connector 2, thereby improving the installation stability of the battery connector 2.

[0059] In practical applications, when the battery 4 is connected to the battery connector 2 , the upper substrate 30 can also abut against the battery 4 to support the battery 4 .

[0060] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the elastic component 1 includes a first elastic member 10 and a second elastic member 11, and the battery connector 2 is connected to the upper substrate 30 through the first elastic member 10 arranged on its side wall, and is connected to the lower substrate 31 through the second elastic member 11 arranged on its bottom wall.

[0061] The first elastic member 10 and the second elastic member 11 cooperate with each other on the side wall and the bottom wall of the battery connector 2 to play a limiting role, thereby limiting the movement of the battery connector 2 and the battery 4 in parallel to the connection direction and improving the stability in use.

[0062] During the flight of the electric drone, the battery 4 fixed on the frame 3 will move in a direction perpendicular to the connection direction between the battery connector 2 and the battery 4 (moving in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the connection direction between the battery connector 2 and the battery 4) due to the rolling and pitching posture changes of the electric drone, while the movement of the battery 4 in the connection direction between the battery connector 2 and the battery 4 due to the gravity of the battery 4 is small, and since the first elastic member 10 is arranged on the side wall of the battery connector 2 and the second elastic member 11 is arranged on the bottom wall of the battery connector 2, the movement in the connection direction is limited. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is preferred that the first elastic member 10 has a small amount of expansion and contraction in its length direction, and the second elastic member 11 also has a small amount of expansion and contraction in its length direction. The small amount of expansion and contraction of the first elastic member 10 and the second elastic member 11 can make the battery connector 2 have a small floating amount in the direction perpendicular to the board surface of the upper substrate 30 and the lower substrate 31, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the battery connector 2 and the battery 4, and preventing the battery connector 2 from having a poor contact with the battery 4 during the synchronous movement with the battery 4.

[0063] In addition, in the prior art, in order to realize the floating process of the pin 21 in the shell 20 of the battery connector 2, since the pin 21 floats in the shell 20, a certain gap needs to be set between the shell 20 of the battery connector 2 and the pin 21. However, due to the limitations of the stability of the pin 21 and the sealing of the shell 20, the above gap cannot be too large, resulting in a small floating amplitude of the pin 21 of the battery connector 2, which cannot adapt well to the movement process of the battery 4, and there is still a risk of poor contact between the battery connector 2 and the battery 4.

[0064] In the electric drone provided in this embodiment, the battery connector 2 elastically connected between the upper base plate 30 and the lower base plate 31 by the first elastic member 10 and the second elastic member 11 will not be greatly restricted in the direction parallel to the board surface of the upper base plate 30. The battery connector 2 has sufficient floating amount in the direction parallel to the board surface of the upper base plate 30, which can well adapt to the movement process of the battery 4, reducing the risk of poor contact between the battery connector 2 and the battery 4.

[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, the battery connector 2 is installed on one side of the upper substrate 30 and the lower substrate 31 . In order to better protect the battery connector 2 , a baffle 32 may be installed between the upper substrate 30 and the lower substrate 31 on a side away from the battery connector 2 .

[0066] Furthermore, the upper base plate 30 , the baffle plate 32 and the lower base plate 31 may be connected together in sequence by screws.

[0067] According to the flight direction of the electric drone, the electric drone includes a front end and a rear end, wherein the upper substrate 30, the lower substrate 31 and the battery connector 2 are all located at the rear end of the electric drone. Further, the upper substrate 30 and the lower substrate 31 are both in a strip shape, and an arm connector 33 may be connected between one end of the upper substrate 30 and one end of the lower substrate 31, and an arm connector 33 may be connected between the other end of the upper substrate 30 and the other end of the lower substrate 31, and the above two arm connectors 33 are respectively used to connect to the arms of the electric drone.

[0068] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a clearance groove 300 is provided at a position corresponding to the battery connector 2 on the side of the upper substrate 30. A protruding plate 310 is provided at a position corresponding to the battery connector 2 on the side of the lower substrate 31. The battery connector 2 is provided on the protruding plate 310 and abuts against the clearance groove 300.

[0069] The recess 300 is used to cooperate with the protruding plate 310 to more stably support the battery connector 2, so that the battery connector 2 can be stably connected to the upper substrate 30 and the lower substrate 31, and can stably maintain a state perpendicular to the board surface of the upper substrate 30.

[0070] like Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the first elastic member 10 and the second elastic member 11 are both strip-shaped. One end of the first elastic member 10 is fixed to the side wall of the battery connector 2 near the clearance groove 300, and the other end of the first elastic member 10 is connected to the side of the upper substrate 30 near the lower substrate 31, and the first elastic member 10 is perpendicular to the upper substrate 30. One end of the second elastic member 11 is fixed to the side wall of the battery connector 2 near the protruding plate 310 at a position away from the first elastic member 10, and the other end of the second elastic member 11 is connected to the side of the lower substrate 31 near the upper substrate 30, and the second elastic member 11 is perpendicular to the lower substrate 31.

[0071] When the battery 4 moves relative to the frame 3, the first strip-shaped elastic member 10 and the second strip-shaped elastic member 11 can bend under the drive of the battery 4 and the battery connector 2. At this time, the battery connector 2 can float in a direction parallel to the surface of the upper substrate 30, and the battery connector 2 can move synchronously with the battery 4.

[0072] Furthermore, the first elastic member 10 and the second elastic member 11 may both be rubber columns.

[0073] Among them, the first elastic member 10 which is perpendicular to the upper substrate 30 and located on the side wall of the battery connector 2 near the make way groove 300, and the second elastic member 11 which is perpendicular to the lower substrate 31 and located on the side wall of the battery connector 2 near the protruding plate 310 and away from the first elastic member 10, are designed to be staggered in the horizontal direction. At this time, the first elastic member 10 and the second elastic member 11 can improve the installation stability of the battery connector 2.

[0074] like Figure 7 As shown, the elastic assembly 1 further includes a first fixing seat 12 and a second fixing seat 13. One end of the first elastic member 10 is fixed to the side wall of the battery connector 2 near the clearance groove 300 through the first fixing seat 12. One end of the second elastic member 11 is fixed to the side wall of the battery connector 2 near the protruding plate 310 at a position away from the first elastic member 10 through the second fixing seat 13.

[0075] The first fixing seat 12 and the second fixing seat 13 can both be fixed on the battery 4 connection. The first fixing seat 12 is used to support the first elastic member 10, so that the first elastic member 10 can be stably installed between the battery connector 2 and the upper substrate 30. The second fixing seat 13 is used to support the second elastic member 11, so that the second elastic member 11 can be stably installed between the battery connector 2 and the lower substrate 31.

[0076] To facilitate installation and removal of the first elastic member 10, the first elastic member 10 is preferably detachably connected to the first fixing seat 12, and the first elastic member 10 is detachably connected to the upper substrate 30. To facilitate installation and removal of the second elastic member 11, the second elastic member 11 is preferably detachably connected to the second fixing seat 13, and the second elastic member 11 is detachably connected to the lower substrate 31.

[0077] Further, such as Figure 8 As shown, a threaded column 14 is connected to one end of the first elastic member 10 close to the first fixing seat 12 and one end of the second elastic member 11 close to the second fixing seat 13, and an external thread is arranged on the threaded column 14. The first fixing seat 12 and the second fixing seat 13 are both provided with threaded holes, and the threaded column 14 is threadedly connected in the threaded holes.

[0078] like Figure 8 As shown, the other end of the first elastic member 10 and the other end of the second elastic member 11 are both provided with a cylindrical groove 15, and the inner side wall of the cylindrical groove 15 is provided with an internal thread. Figure 4 As shown, a mounting hole 16 is provided at a position of the upper substrate 30 corresponding to the first elastic member 10, and a mounting hole 16 is also provided at a position of the lower substrate 31 corresponding to the second elastic member 11, and an internal thread is provided on the inner wall of the mounting hole 16. The cylindrical groove 15 of the first elastic member 10 can be communicated with the mounting hole 16 on the upper substrate 30, and the cylindrical groove 15 of the second elastic member 11 can be communicated with the mounting hole 16 on the lower substrate 31.

[0079] When the battery connector 2 needs to be installed on the upper substrate 30 and the lower substrate 31, the battery connector 2 is first placed on one side of the upper substrate 30 and the lower substrate 31, and the cylindrical groove 15 on the first elastic member 10 of the battery connector 2 is located below the upper substrate 30 and communicated with the mounting hole 16 on the upper substrate 30, and the cylindrical groove 15 on the second elastic member 11 of the battery connector 2 is located above the lower substrate 31 and communicated with the mounting hole 16 on the lower substrate 31. Then, screws are installed in the cylindrical groove 15 on the first elastic member 10 and the mounting hole 16 on the upper substrate 30 to connect the first elastic member 10 on the battery connector 2 to the upper substrate 30, and screws are installed in the cylindrical groove 15 on the second elastic member 11 and the mounting hole 16 on the lower substrate 31 to connect the second elastic member 11 on the battery connector 2 to the lower substrate 31.

[0080] Among them, the cylindrical groove 15 on the first elastic member 10 and the screws installed in the mounting hole 16 on the upper base plate 30 can stably abut the first elastic member 10 between the first fixing seat 12 and the upper base plate 30, and the cylindrical groove 15 on the second elastic member 11 and the screws installed in the mounting hole 16 on the lower base plate 31 can stably abut the two elastic members between the second fixing seat 13 and the lower base plate 31, so that the battery connector 2 can be stably installed on the upper base plate 30 and the lower base plate 31 in a direction perpendicular to the board surface of the upper base plate 30, so that the battery connector 2 can further have a smaller floating amount in the direction perpendicular to the board surface of the upper base plate 30, which can ensure the connection stability between the battery connector 2 and the battery 4.

[0081] In addition, the process of installing the screws in the mounting holes 16 on the upper substrate 30 and the cylindrical grooves 15 on the first elastic member 10 in sequence is performed on the upper surface of the frame 3, and the process of installing the screws in the mounting holes 16 on the lower substrate 31 and the cylindrical grooves 15 on the second elastic member 11 in sequence is performed on the lower surface of the frame 3. Therefore, when the battery connector 2 is stably installed on the upper substrate 30 and the lower substrate 31 using screws, the operating space is large enough, the process of tightening the screws will not be restricted, and the process of installing the battery connector 2 is more convenient.

[0082] like Figure 4 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the frame 3 also includes a ring-shaped battery frame 34, which is used to accommodate the battery 4. The battery frame 34 is provided with a mounting portion 340 protruding in a direction away from the center of the battery frame 34, and the mounting portion 340 extends into and abuts between the upper base plate 30 and the lower base plate 31. A mounting platform is formed between the mounting portion 340, the position on the plate surface of the upper base plate 30 close to the clearance groove 300, and the lower base plate 31, and the battery connector 2 is located in the mounting platform.

[0083] The battery frame 34 is used to support the battery 4 so that the battery 4 can be stably installed on the rack 3 .

[0084] The mounting portion 340 on the battery frame 34 that extends into and abuts between the upper substrate 30 and the lower substrate 31 can abut against the side wall of the battery connector 2 when the battery connector 2 is installed in the mounting platform, thereby supporting the battery connector 2 and allowing the battery connector 2 to be stably vertically connected to the upper substrate 30 and the lower substrate 31.

[0085] It can be seen that the mounting platform formed between the mounting portion 340, the position on the surface of the upper substrate 30 close to the make way groove 300 and the lower substrate 31 can not only provide a mounting position for the battery connector 2 on the frame 3, but also can stably support the battery connector 2, and play a role in limiting and protecting the battery connector 2.

[0086] like Figure 4 As shown, the frame 3 further includes a first fixing rod 35 and a second fixing rod 36 arranged in parallel. The first fixing rod 35 and the second fixing rod 36 are respectively located on both sides of the battery frame 34, and one end of the first fixing rod 35 and one end of the second fixing rod 36 are both fixed between the upper base plate 30 and the lower base plate 31. The battery frame 34 is fixed between the first fixing rod 35 and the second fixing rod 36.

[0087] The first fixing rod 35 and the second fixing rod 36 are used to support the battery frame 34 , and thus can stably support the battery 4 in the battery frame 34 .

[0088] Furthermore, to facilitate installation and removal of the battery frame 34 , the battery frame 34 may be connected between the first fixing rod 35 and the second fixing rod 36 by a connecting member such as an annular clamp.

[0089] Among them, both the first fixing rod 35 and the second fixing rod 36 can be hollow structures. A wire can also be provided in the housing 20 of the battery connector 2, one end of the wire is connected to the pin 21 of the battery connector 2 in the housing 20, and the other end passes through the housing 20 and is connected to the power device on the electric drone. The above-mentioned wire can be passed through the hollow first fixing rod 35 and the hollow second fixing rod 36. The first fixing rod 35 and the second fixing rod 36 can play the role of concealing wires, waterproofing and wiring.

[0090] In this embodiment, if Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the frame 3 also includes an annular material frame 37, which is fixed to a side of the battery frame 34 away from the mounting portion 340 and is used to accommodate material boxes such as water tanks on the electric drone.

[0091] In order to improve the stability of the material frame 37 , the material frame 37 may also be fixed between the first fixing rod 35 and the second fixing rod 36 by a connecting piece such as an annular clamp.

[0092] Further, such as Fig.10 As shown, a guide 370 protruding from the inner side wall of the material frame 37 may also be provided on the inner side wall of the material frame 37. The guide 370 is in the shape of a trapezoid, the area of ​​the bottom surface of which is larger than the area of ​​the top surface, and the bottom surface is fixed on the inner side wall of the material frame 37. The guide 370 can guide the installation process of the material in the process of installing the material in the material frame 37, so that the material can be smoothly installed in the material frame 37.

[0093] like Figure 4As shown, the electric drone provided in this embodiment may also include electronic devices, control devices and the like, and the electronic devices and control devices are mounted on one end of the electric drone away from the upper substrate 30 and the lower substrate 31. One end of the first fixing rod 35 away from the upper substrate 30 and the lower substrate 31, and one end of the second fixing rod 36 away from the upper substrate 30 and the lower substrate 31, may be fixed to the above-mentioned electronic devices, control devices and the like.

[0094] like Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of bosses 5 are mounted on the surface of the upper substrate 30 away from the lower substrate 31. At least two bosses 5 are respectively located on both sides of the portion of the battery connector 2 protruding from the upper substrate 30, and the height of the bosses 5 is greater than the height of the portion of the battery connector 2 protruding from the upper substrate 30. There is a gap between the bosses 5 and the portion of the battery connector 2 protruding from the upper substrate 30, so that the battery 4 is connected to the battery connector 2 after passing through the bosses 5.

[0095] At least two bosses 5 are respectively located on both sides of the portion of the battery connector 2 protruding from the upper substrate 30, and the height of the bosses 5 is greater than the height of the portion of the battery connector 2 protruding from the upper substrate 30. Therefore, when the battery 4 is connected to the battery connector 2 but the battery 4 is not aligned with the battery connector 2, the battery 4 will first abut against the bosses 5, thereby preventing the battery connector 2 from being damaged when the battery 4 is misaligned.

[0096] In addition, the boss 5 can also prevent large objects from falling from the outside from passing through the boss 5 and hitting the battery connector 2 when the battery connector 2 is not connected to the battery 4, thereby preventing the battery connector 2 from being damaged.

[0097] It can be seen that the boss 5 can protect the battery connector 2 .

[0098] In practical applications, the boss 5 can also serve as a target during the alignment and connection process between the battery 4 and the battery connector 2 , and can guide the alignment and connection process between the battery 4 and the battery connector 2 .

[0099] In this embodiment, preferably, two bosses 5 are installed on the surface of the upper substrate 30 away from the lower substrate 31 , and the two bosses 5 are respectively located on both sides of the portion of the battery connector 2 protruding from the upper substrate 30 .

[0100] like Figure 4 As shown, a hook ring 6 is provided on the frame 3 near the battery connector 2 , and the hook ring 6 is used to hook with the hooking portion on the battery 4 when the battery connector 2 is connected to the battery 4 , so as to restrict the battery 4 on the battery connector 2 .

[0101] Specifically, the hooking portion on the battery 4 can be a groove-shaped plate structure, one of the side walls of the hooking portion is rotatably connected to the battery 4 through a pin shaft, and the other side wall of the hooking portion can be hooked on the above-mentioned hook ring 6 or detached from the above-mentioned hook ring 6 during the rotation of the hooking portion, thereby realizing the fixation and separation between the battery 4 and the frame 3.

[0102] Furthermore, the hook ring 6 can be arranged on the upper base plate 30 in the frame 3 at a position close to the clearance groove 300 .
