The arc surfaces of the driven roller 305 and the driving roller 303 are connected by a belt 306. During the movement of the belt 306, it can drive the driven roller 305 to rotate. The upper end of the rotating shaft 304 is fixedly connected to a disc 307. Two battery storage grooves 308 are formed on the upper surface of the disc 307. The UAV battery 7 is placed inside one of the battery storage grooves 308. The disc 307 drives the battery storage groove 308, and the battery storage groove 308 can drive the UAV battery 7 inside it to rotate 180° each time. When it is necessary to control the rotation of the disc 307, first operate the controller 9 to make the communication module send an instruction to the servo motor 302, so as to start the servo motor 302 to drive the driving roller 303 to rotate. The driving roller 303 drives the movement of the belt 306, the belt 306 drives the driven roller 305 to rotate, and the driven roller 305 drives the rotating shaft 304 and the disc 307 to rotate, so that the disc 307 can drive the UAV battery 7 to rotate.

[0038] Two rectangular holes 309 are formed in the lower surface of the disc 307, and the rectangular holes 309 communicate with the battery storage groove 308. A welding plate 310 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the machine box 1. And a motor 311 is fixedly connected to one side of the welding plate 310. The operation of the motor 311 can drive the driving gear 312 to rotate.

Two connecting plates 316 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rectangular plate 317. When it is necessary to control the lifting of the driving plate 315, the motor 311 is started to drive the driving gear 312 to rotate. The driving gear 312 drives the driven gear 314 to rotate. The driven gear 314 drives the threaded rod 313 to rotate. The threaded rod 313 drives the driving plate 315, so that the driving plate 315 moves along the arc surface of the threaded rod 313. The driving plate 315 drives the connecting plate 316, and the connecting plate 316 drives the rectangular plate 317 to move, so as to control the lifting of the rectangular plate 317.

[0039] A suction cup 318 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rectangular plate 317, and the suction cup 318 can adsorb and fix the drone battery 7. An air extraction pipe 319 is slidably penetrated through one side of the machine box 1. One end of the air extraction pipe 319 is communicated with the suction cup 318. An air extraction pump 320 is installed on the arc surface of the air extraction pipe 319. When the air extraction pump 320 is started, the air extraction pipe 319 extracts air, and the air extraction pipe 319 makes the suction cup 318 inhale air, so that the drone battery 7 can be stably adsorbed on the suction cup 318.

[0040] A wire 322 is slidably penetrated through the side of the machine box 1 away from the air extraction pipe 319. One end of the wire 322 is electrically connected to a charger 321. One side of the charger 321 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the machine box 1. The other end of the wire 322 is electrically connected to a charging head 323. By inserting the charging head 323 into the charging interface 8 of the drone battery 7, the drone battery 7 can be charged.

[0041] By setting up the battery replacement device 3, two effects are achieved: First, the battery replacement device 3 is set inside the machine box 1, which is small in size, convenient for personnel to carry the device, and improves the portability of the UAV endurance battery installation device; Second, the replacement operation of the UAV battery 7 can be automatically completed, and the UAV battery 7 can be stably installed on the UAV, reducing the need for manual operation and the safety hazard of battery replacement in high-risk environments.

[0042] Refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in this implementation: The UAV limiting device 4 includes an electric push rod 401. The electric push rod 401 is fixed on one side of the machine box 1. The output end of the electric push rod 401 is fixedly connected with a bearing plate 402. Starting the electric push rod 401 to drive the bearing plate 402 can adjust the position of the UAV body 2 on the bearing plate 402, so that the battery slot under the UAV body 2 can accurately align with the UAV battery 7. A battery input hole 411 is opened on the upper surface of the bearing plate 402. The UAV battery 7 can pass through the battery input hole 411 and enter the battery slot of the UAV body 2. The size of the battery input hole 411 is larger than the size of the UAV battery 7.

[0043] Two limiting holes 405 are opened on the surface of the bearing plate 402 for guiding and positioning the limiting plate 409. Two mounting plates 407 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the bearing plate 402 to support the lead screw 408. A lead screw 408 is rotatably connected to one side of the two mounting plates 407 close to each other. A double-thread is provided on the arc surface of the lead screw 408. When the lead screw 408 rotates, it can drive the two limiting plates 409 to move towards or away from each other by means of the double-thread. The arc surface of the lead screw 408 is threadedly connected with two limiting plates 409. The limiting plate 409 is slidably connected with the inner wall of the limiting hole 405. An extrusion plate 410 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the short arm end of the limiting plate 409 to extrude and limit the UAV frame. A driving motor 406 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the bearing plate 402. The output end of the driving motor 406 is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 408. The operation of the driving motor 406 can control the rotation of the lead screw 408. When it is necessary to limit the UAV on the bearing plate 402 to prevent it from shaking during the battery replacement process, start the driving motor 406 to drive the lead screw 408 to rotate. The lead screw 408 drives the two limiting plates 409 to move towards each other at the same time. The limiting plate 409 drives the extrusion plate 410 to clamp and limit the UAV frame, so as to be able to limit the UAV on the bearing plate 402.

[0044] Several indicator lights 404 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bearing plate 402. The indicator lights 404 are evenly distributed on the upper surface of the bearing plate 402. The indicator lights 404 can guide the landing of the UAV.

[0045] On both sides of the inner wall of the machine box 1, there are fixed connection limit rails 403. The inner wall of the limit rail 403 is slidably connected to the bearing plate 402. When the electric push rod 401 drives the bearing plate 402 to move, the limit rail 403 can guide and position the bearing plate 402, thereby improving the stability of the bearing plate 402 during the moving process.

[0046] By setting the unmanned aerial vehicle limiting device 4, the position of the unmanned aerial vehicle body 2 on the bearing plate 402 can be adjusted, so that the battery slot under the unmanned aerial vehicle body 2 can accurately align with the unmanned aerial vehicle battery 7, and the unmanned aerial vehicle on the bearing plate 402 can be limited to prevent it from shaking during the battery replacement process.

[0047] Refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in this implementation scheme: there are two support devices 5 on the lower surface of the machine box 1. The support device 5 includes a fixed seat 501, and the fixed seat 501 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the machine box 1. The fixed seat 501 can support the connecting plate 502. The inner wall of the fixed seat 501 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 502. One side of the connecting plate 502 is fixedly connected to a support frame 503. The support frame 503 can support the machine box 1, and the cross section of the support frame 503 is in the shape of "H". There is a sliding hole 504 on one side of the fixed seat 501. The center of the sliding hole 504 is coaxial with the axis of rotation of the connecting plate 502. A sliding rod 505 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole 504. One end of the sliding rod 505 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 502. During the rotation of the connecting plate 502, the sliding rod 505 will be driven to move along the inner wall of the sliding hole 504, thereby improving the stability of the connecting plate 502 during the rotation process. The arc surface of the sliding rod 505 is threadedly connected to an adjusting ring 506. One side of the adjusting ring 506 close to the fixed seat 501 is fixedly connected to a gasket 507. Rotating the adjusting ring 506 drives the gasket 507 to abut against the fixed seat 501, and the connecting plate 502 and the support frame 503 can be limited. When it is necessary to adjust the support frame 503 so that the machine box 1 can be horizontally and stably supported on the ground, first rotate the adjusting ring 506 to drive the gasket 507 to separate from the fixed seat 501, and then rotate the support frame 503 to drive the connecting plate 502, so that the connecting plate 502 rotates along the inner wall of the fixed seat 501. During the rotation of the connecting plate 502, the sliding rod 505 will be driven to slide along the inner wall of the sliding hole 504. When the support frame 503 rotates to an appropriate angle, then rotate the adjusting ring 506 to drive the gasket 507 to abut against the fixed seat 501, and the adjustment and limitation of the support frame 503 can be completed. Finally, the support frame 503 is supported on the ground. By setting the support device 5, the machine box 1 can be horizontally and stably supported on the ground, enabling the machine box 1 to be used in an uneven environment, and improving the applicable range of the unmanned aerial vehicle battery installation device.

[0048] Both ends of the support frame 503 are fixedly connected with anti-slip sleeves 508. The anti-slip sleeves 508 can increase the friction between the support frame 503 and the ground, achieving the effect that the support frame 503 can be supported more stably on the ground.

[0049] Detailed usage method: When the drone needs to be charged, the following steps are required:

[0050] S1. First, rotate the adjustment ring 506 to drive the gasket 507 to separate from the fixed seat 501, and then rotate the support frame 503 to drive the connecting plate 502, so that the connecting plate 502 rotates along the inner wall of the fixed seat 501. During the rotation of the connecting plate 502, the slide bar 505 will slide along the inner wall of the slide hole 504. When the support frame 503 rotates to the appropriate angle, then rotate the adjustment ring 506 to drive the gasket 507 to abut against the fixed seat 501, and the adjustment and limitation of the support frame 503 can be completed. Finally, the support frame 503 is supported on the ground.

[0051] S2. After the machine box 1 is stably supported, lower the drone to be charged onto the bearing plate 402, start the drive motor 406 to drive the lead screw 408 to rotate. The lead screw 408 drives the two limit plates 409 to move towards each other at the same time. The limit plates 409 drive the pressing plate 410 to clamp and limit the drone frame, so that the drone on the bearing plate 402 can be limited. Subsequently, start the electric push rod 401 to drive the bearing plate 402. The bearing plate 402 drives the drone, so that the battery slot under the drone body 2 can accurately align with the empty battery storage slot 308.

[0052] S3. Start the motor 311 to drive the driving gear 312 to rotate. The driving gear 312 drives the driven gear 314 to rotate. The driven gear 314 drives the threaded rod 313 to rotate. The threaded rod 313 drives the driving plate 315, so that the driving plate 315 moves along the arc surface of the threaded rod 313. The driving plate 315 drives the connecting plate 316, and the connecting plate 316 drives the rectangular plate 317 to move, so that the rectangular plate 317 drives the suction cup 318 to fit with the battery on the drone. When the suction cup 318 fits with the battery on the drone, then adjust the air extraction pump 320 to start and the air extraction pipe 319 extracts air. The air extraction pipe 319 makes the suction cup 318 inhale air, so that the battery with depleted power can be stably adsorbed on the suction cup 318. Subsequently, start the motor 311 to drive the driving gear 312 to rotate in the reverse direction. The suction cup 318 moves downward to drive the battery with depleted power into the empty battery storage slot 308. Finally, turn off the air extraction pump 320 to make the suction cup 318 stop inhaling air.

[0053] S4. After the battery with depleted power enters the empty battery storage slot 308, start the servo motor 302 to drive the active reel 303 to rotate. The active reel 303 drives the belt 306 to move, the belt 306 drives the driven reel 305 to rotate, and the driven reel 305 drives the rotating shaft 304 and the disc 307 to rotate, so that the disc 307 and the battery with depleted power in the battery storage slot 308 on the disc 307 rotate by 180°. Make the fully charged drone battery 7 in the other battery storage slot 308 originally be directly below the drone. Subsequently, start the air pump 320 to make the air suction pipe 319 suck air. The air suction pipe 319 makes the suction cup 318 suck air, so that the fully charged battery can be firmly adsorbed on the suction cup 318. When the drone battery 7 is firmly adsorbed, start the motor 311 to rotate, so that the driving plate 315 drives the suction cup 318 and the drone battery 7 to move towards the direction close to the drone until the drone battery 7 is installed in the battery slot under the drone body 2. Subsequently, turn off the air pump 320 to make the suction cup 318 stop sucking air, and then start the motor 311 to rotate, so that the driving plate 315 drives the suction cup 318 to return to the original position. Finally, start the driving motor 406 to operate to separate the pressing plate 410 from the drone frame. When the drone takes off from the bearing plate 402, the battery replacement operation can be completed.

[0054] S5. After the drone takes off, the person pulls the pull ring 326 to drive the connecting rod 325, the connecting rod 325 drives the ear plate 324, and the ear plate 324 drives the charging head 323, so that the charging head 323 is inserted into the charging interface 8 on the battery with depleted power, and then the drone battery 7 can be charged.
