Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and in particular to a high-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles are often referred to as drones. They were originally used in the military industry. As the technology matures, more and more consumer-grade products have appeared in the civilian industry. Compared with military-grade drones, consumer-grade drones are lower in cost and are mainly used as "flying cameras" to take some bird's-eye or panoramic shots. Therefore, more attention is paid to the stability of the flight and the parameters of the lens.

[0003] However, the current consumer-grade drones are usually small in size, which makes the battery capacity of the drone small. Currently, most consumer-grade drones can only fly for about ten minutes, and some can only maintain shooting tasks within ten minutes, and few can reach half an hour. Therefore, during the shooting process, the staff needs to recycle the drone and replace the backup battery every once in a while, which affects the overall shooting efficiency. To this end, we propose a high-endurance drone to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose a high-endurance drone.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A high-endurance drone comprises a drone body and a large-capacity battery, wherein the large-capacity battery is arranged on the top of the drone body, the large-capacity battery and the drone body are electrically connected, a protective cover is arranged on the top of the large-capacity battery, a groove is arranged on the top wall of the drone body, the groove is located on one side of the large-capacity battery, two side grooves are arranged on the side wall of the groove close to the large-capacity battery, two groups of limiting grooves are arranged on the top wall of the drone body, each group of limiting grooves comprises two limiting grooves parallel to each other, the two groups of limiting grooves are respectively arranged on both sides of the large-capacity battery, a clamping mechanism for limiting the position of the protective cover is arranged in the limiting groove, a working cavity is arranged on the top side wall of the drone body, a control mechanism for driving the clamping mechanism is arranged in the working cavity.

[0007] Through the above technical solution, an additional large-capacity battery is set on the top of the drone, and it is firmly fixed on the top of the drone using a fixing mechanism and a control mechanism, so that the drone in this application has a longer endurance than traditional drones and is more conducive to long-term flight shooting.

[0008] Preferably, the material of the protective cover is silica gel, the bottom wall of the protective cover abuts against the top wall of the large-capacity battery, and the shape of the protective cover is an inverted disc.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, the silicone protective cover can reduce the damage that may be caused to the large-capacity battery by debris in the air during the flight of the drone. Moreover, the protective cover does not completely wrap the large-capacity battery, which also facilitates the heat dissipation of the large-capacity battery.

[0010] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a moving block, a telescopic spring, a vertical plate, an extension rod and an insertion rod, the moving block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove, one end of the telescopic spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting groove, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the moving block, the vertical plate is fixedly mounted on the top wall of the moving block, the extension rod is fixedly mounted on the top wall of the vertical plate, a limiting hole is formed on the side wall of the protective cover facing the extension rod, the insertion rod is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the extension rod facing the limiting hole, and the insertion rod is inserted into the limiting hole.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, under the action of the telescopic spring, the moving block will drive the vertical plate extension rod to move toward the direction of the large-capacity battery, thereby allowing the insertion rod to be inserted into the limiting hole. The interaction between the insertion rod and the limiting hole can make the protective cover firmly fixed on the large-capacity battery, thereby ensuring that the large-capacity battery can be stably placed on the drone body.

[0012] Preferably, a side panel is fixedly installed between two vertical plates on the same side of the large-capacity battery, the side panel is made of silicone, slots are respectively provided on the side walls on both sides of the large-capacity battery, and an insert is fixedly installed on the side wall of the side panel close to the slot, and the insert is inserted into the slot.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, while the vertical plate drives the insertion rod to insert into the limiting hole, the side panel arranged on the side wall of the vertical plate can also drive the insertion block to be inserted into the slot. The slot arranged on the side wall of the large-capacity battery enables the vertical plate to also fix the large-capacity battery, thereby ensuring the power safety of the drone body during flight.

[0014] Preferably, the control mechanism includes a push block, two inclined rods, two sliders, two push rods and four side row rods, the push block is slidably connected to the bottom wall of the groove, the two sliders are respectively slidably connected to the inner walls of the two side grooves, the side grooves are connected to the working chamber, the two inclined rods are respectively rotationally connected to the side wall of the push block facing the side groove, the other end of the inclined rod is rotationally connected to the side wall of the slider, the push rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slider facing the side row rods, each of the side row rods is fixedly mounted on the corresponding side wall of the moving block, the push rod is abutted against the side walls of the two side row rods, the push rod is arc-shaped near one end of the side row rod, and the two side row rods abutting against the push rod are also arc-shaped.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the staff can press the button block from the side to make the slider drive the top rod to move, squeeze the two side rods apart, and then make the vertical plate and the moving block leave the protective cover and the large-capacity battery, making it convenient for the staff to replace the large-capacity battery.

[0016] Preferably, a telescopic rod is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the pressing block facing the large-capacity battery, and one end of the telescopic rod away from the pressing block is fixedly connected to the side wall of the groove.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the force applied by the telescopic rod to the button will cause the button to move away from the large-capacity battery. At this time, the two sliders will move toward the telescopic rod driven by the inclined rod, making it convenient for the staff to press the button when needed.

[0018] Preferably, the thickness of the side panel is greater than the thickness of the vertical panel, and the cross section of the side panel is "T"-shaped.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, the side panel made of silicone material can prevent the vertical plate from directly contacting the large-capacity battery when fixing the large-capacity battery, thereby preventing resonance between the vertical plate and the large-capacity battery when the drone body is flying. The side panel made of silicone material can effectively reduce the resonance between the large-capacity battery and the vertical plate, thereby protecting the safety of the large-capacity battery.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. The large-capacity battery installed on the top of the drone body can provide more power for the drone body, thereby making the drone body have a longer endurance. At the same time, the protective cover and clamping mechanism installed on the top of the drone body can fix and protect the large-capacity battery, making the power supply more stable and ensuring the safety of the large-capacity battery during the flight of the drone body;

[0022] 2. The protective cover that does not completely cover the large-capacity battery will not affect the heat dissipation of the large-capacity battery too much while playing a protective role. At the same time, except for the drone body, other parts that directly contact the large-capacity battery have silicone parts as buffers, so it can try to avoid resonance during flight and avoid damage to the large-capacity battery.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 A high-endurance drone comprises a drone body 1 and a large-capacity battery 2. The large-capacity battery 2 is arranged on the top of the drone body 1. The large-capacity battery 2 is electrically connected to the drone body 1. The drone body 1 contains a battery. The large-capacity battery 2 is equivalent to an optional accessory and can be installed when a high endurance is required. The large-capacity battery 2 has a large capacity and a relatively large volume, which is not convenient for installation in the drone body 1. Therefore, it is arranged on the top of the drone body 1, which is also convenient for heat dissipation. A protective cover 3 is arranged on the top of the large-capacity battery 2. The material of the protective cover 3 is silicone. The bottom wall of the protective cover 3 is against the top wall of the large-capacity battery 2, and the shape of the protective cover 3 is an inverted disc.

[0032] A groove 4 is provided on the top wall of the drone body 1, and the groove 4 is located on one side of the large-capacity battery 2. Two side grooves 5 are provided on the side wall of the groove 4 close to the large-capacity battery 2. Two groups of limiting grooves 6 are provided on the top wall of the drone body 1, and each group of limiting grooves 6 includes two mutually parallel limiting grooves 6. The two limiting grooves 6 are parallel to each other and are respectively located at the first two ends of the large-capacity battery 2. The two groups of limiting grooves 6 are respectively located on both sides of the large-capacity battery 2, and a total of four limiting grooves 6 surround the large-capacity battery 2 in the middle position.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4A clamping mechanism for limiting the position of the protective cover 3 is installed in the limiting groove 6, and the clamping mechanism includes a moving block 7, a telescopic spring 8, a vertical plate 9, an extension rod 10 and an insertion rod 11. The moving block 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 6, one end of the telescopic spring 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting groove 6, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the moving block 7. The vertical plate 9 is fixedly installed on the top wall of the moving block 7, and the extension rod 10 is fixedly installed on the top wall of the vertical plate 9. A limiting hole 12 is opened on the side wall of the protective cover 3 facing the extension rod 10, and the limiting hole 12 does not completely penetrate the protective cover 3. The insertion rod 11 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the extension rod 10 facing the limiting hole 12, and the insertion rod 11 is inserted into the limiting hole 12. The insertion rod 11 inserted in the limiting hole 12 will not directly contact the large-capacity battery 2, and therefore will not affect the safety of the large-capacity battery 2.

[0034] A side panel 13 is fixedly installed between the two vertical panels 9 on the same side of the large-capacity battery 2. The material of the side panel 13 is silicone. The thickness of the side panel 13 is greater than the thickness of the vertical panel 9. The cross section of the side panel 13 is "T" shaped. The setting of the side panel 13 can separate the vertical panel 9 from the large-capacity battery 2, thereby protecting the safety of the large-capacity battery 2. Slots 14 are respectively provided on the side walls of the large-capacity battery 2. An insert 15 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the side panel 13 near the slot 14. The insert 15 is inserted into the slot 14. The insert 15 can also be set to a material with buffering capacity such as silicone.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A working chamber is provided on the top side wall of the drone body 1, and a control mechanism for driving the clamping mechanism is installed in the working chamber. The control mechanism includes a push block 16, two inclined rods 17, two sliders 18, two top rods 19 and four side row rods 20. The push block 16 is slidably connected to the bottom wall of the groove 4, and the two sliders 18 are respectively slidably connected to the inner walls of the two side grooves 5. The side grooves 5 are connected to the working chamber. The two inclined rods 17 are respectively rotatably connected to the side wall of the push block 16 facing the side groove 5, and the other end of the inclined rod 17 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the slider 18. A telescopic rod 21 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the push block 16 facing the large-capacity battery 2. The end of the telescopic rod 21 away from the push block 16 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the groove 4. The force applied to the push block 16 by the telescopic rod 21 will keep the push block 16 away from the side groove 5.

[0036] The push rod 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slider 18 facing the side row rod 20. Each side row rod 20 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the corresponding moving block 7. The push rod 19 is against the side walls of the two side row rods 20. The end of the push rod 19 close to the side row rod 20 is designed in an arc shape, and the two side row rods 20 against the push rod 19 are also designed in an arc shape. When the push rod 19 moves toward the side row rod 20, the two side row rods 20 can be squeezed toward both sides.

[0037] In the present invention, the addition of a large-capacity battery 2 can effectively increase the endurance of the drone body 1, and after the power of the large-capacity battery 2 is exhausted, the staff can compress the telescopic rod 21 by pressing the button 16, and at the same time the inclined rod 17 will drive the slider 18 to slide in the side groove 5, and the top rod 19 installed on the side wall of the slider 18 will squeeze open the two side rods 20. Since the side rods 20 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the moving block 7, the moving block 7 will move in the limiting groove 6 and compress the telescopic spring 8. The vertical plate 9 and the extension rod 10 installed on the top of the moving block 7 will move with the moving block 7, and the insertion rod 11 will leave the limiting hole 12, and the protective cover 3 will lose its fixing effect. The staff can easily remove the protective cover 3 from the large-capacity battery 2, and then replace the large-capacity battery 2, thereby improving the battery replacement efficiency and improving the flight time of the drone body 1 from another perspective.
