[0002] The weight of some energy storage power supplies increases with the increase of stored electricity. It is more difficult for users to carry and transport heavy energy storage power supplies. If the road conditions are poor, the transportation of energy storage power supplies will be even more difficult. Although there are energy storage power supplies equipped with blade assemblies to achieve low-altitude flight in related technologies, the volume of such energy storage power supplies is relatively large and requires a large space to store, which limits the scope of application of such energy storage power supplies. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an energy storage drone, which has a low-altitude flight function, is convenient for handling and transportation, and the blade assembly of the energy storage drone can be folded when stored, reducing the volume of the energy storage drone, making it convenient for storage, having a wide range of applications, and high user satisfaction.

[0004] To achieve this object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] The present invention discloses an energy storage drone, comprising: an energy storage host, wherein the energy storage host is provided with a battery module, a voltage converter and a discharge port, wherein the voltage converter converts the electrical energy of the battery module and outputs the converted electrical energy to the outside through the discharge port; a blade assembly, wherein the blade assembly is mounted on the energy storage host and has a folded state relative to the energy storage host and an unfolded state relative to the energy storage host; when the discharge port is in operation, the blade assembly stops operating; and a photovoltaic module, wherein the photovoltaic module is mounted on the energy storage host and / or the paddle arm of the blade assembly, wherein the photovoltaic module generates electrical energy and transmits it to the battery module.

[0006] In some embodiments, a first receiving slot is provided on the top of the energy storage host, the energy storage host has a mounting portion movably mounted in the first receiving slot, and the photovoltaic module includes a first photovoltaic panel provided on the top wall of the mounting portion.

[0007] In some embodiments, the mounting portion has a receiving cavity and an opening communicating with the receiving cavity, and the photovoltaic module further includes a second photovoltaic panel installed in the receiving cavity and capable of extending out of the receiving cavity from the opening.

[0008] In some specific embodiments, the second photovoltaic panel is a retractable panel and includes a plurality of sub-panels, and one of two adjacent sub-panels can be retracted into the other sub-panel.

[0009] In some embodiments, the energy storage drone further includes a first link and a second link, one end of the first link is connected to the bottom wall of the first accommodating groove, the other end of the first link is rotatably connected to one end of the second link, and the other end of the second link is connected to the mounting portion.

[0010] In some embodiments, the energy storage host is provided with a plurality of discharge ports of different models.

[0011] In some embodiments, a second receiving slot is provided at the rear end of the energy storage host, and the plurality of discharge ports are provided in the second receiving slot; the energy storage drone further includes a sealing cover, which is openably connected to the energy storage host, and the sealing cover can be buckled into the opening of the second receiving slot to cover the plurality of discharge ports.

[0012] In some embodiments, two of the blade assemblies are provided on the left and right walls of the energy storage host, and the two blade assemblies located on the same side wall are partially overlapped along the front-to-back direction of the energy storage host in the folded state.

[0014] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic module further includes a third photovoltaic panel mounted on the paddle arm of the blade assembly.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the energy storage drone of the present invention are as follows: Since the energy storage host of the energy storage drone is provided with a foldable blade assembly, when the blade assembly is in the unfolded state, the energy storage drone can achieve low-altitude flight without the need for manual handling by the user, thereby improving the user satisfaction of the energy storage drone. When the energy storage drone is not in use, the blade assembly can be folded up, which reduces the storage space, is convenient for storage, has a wide range of applications, and improves user satisfaction. In addition, since the energy storage host and / or the blade assembly are provided with photovoltaic modules on the paddle arms, the surface of the energy storage drone is utilized to the maximum extent to set up the power generation device, thereby extending the power generation efficiency of the energy storage host, which is conducive to extending the discharge time of the energy storage host and further improving user satisfaction. In addition, when the discharge port is working, the blade assembly stops working, which can avoid erroneous operation causing the blade assembly to also work, causing the energy storage drone to suddenly run and disconnect the discharge port, resulting in damage to the energy storage drone or damage to the charging equipment.

[0016] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description which follows, or may be learned by practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It will be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings only illustrate portions relevant to the present invention, not all structures.

[0031] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "connected," "connected," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integration; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention in specific circumstances.

[0032] In the description of this embodiment, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," and "rear" are used to refer to positions or locations based on the positions or locations shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are intended solely to facilitate description and simplify operation, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used solely for descriptive purposes and have no special meaning.

[0033] The present invention discloses an energy storage drone, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the energy storage drone of this embodiment includes an energy storage host 100, a blade assembly 200 and a photovoltaic module 300. The energy storage host 100 is provided with a battery module, a voltage converter and a discharge port 110. The voltage converter converts the electrical energy of the battery module and outputs it to the outside through the discharge port 110. The blade assembly 200 is installed on the energy storage host 100 and has a folded state relative to the energy storage host 100 and an unfolded state relative to the energy storage host 100. When the discharge port 110 is working, the blade assembly 200 stops working. The photovoltaic module 300 is installed on the paddle arm 210 of the energy storage host 100 and / or the blade assembly 200. The photovoltaic module 300 generates electrical energy and transmits it to the battery module.

[0034] It should be noted that the electricity generated by the photovoltaic module 300 can be stored in the battery module, thereby extending the discharge time and storage capacity of the energy storage host 100 and improving user satisfaction. In this embodiment, the voltage converter can be an AC-DC converter, such as an inverter, or a DC converter.

[0035] It is understood that because the energy storage drone of this embodiment is equipped with a foldable propeller assembly 200 on the energy storage main unit 100, when the propeller assembly 200 is in the deployed state, the energy storage drone can achieve low-altitude flight without the need for manual handling by the user, thereby improving user satisfaction with the energy storage drone. When the energy storage drone is not in use, the propeller assembly 200 can be folded, reducing storage space, facilitating storage, and providing a wide range of applications, thereby improving user satisfaction. Furthermore, because the photovoltaic module 300 is provided on the propeller arm 210 of the energy storage main unit 100 and / or the propeller assembly 200 of this embodiment, the surface area of the energy storage drone is maximized for the installation of the power generation device. This can extend the power generation efficiency of the energy storage main unit 100, thereby extending the discharge time of the energy storage main unit 100 and further improving user satisfaction. Furthermore, when the discharge port 110 is operating, the propeller assembly 200 stops operating, preventing erroneous operation from causing the propeller assembly 200 to also operate, which could cause the energy storage drone to suddenly operate and disconnect the discharge port 110, potentially damaging the energy storage drone or the charging equipment.

[0036] It should be noted that the blade assembly 200 of this embodiment has its own drive component and is connected to the battery module in the energy storage host 100. In other embodiments of the present invention, the blade assembly 200 may have its own battery as a power supply device.

[0037] Optional, reference Figure 3 As shown, a first receiving slot 120 is provided on the top of the energy storage host 100. The energy storage host 100 has a mounting portion 400 that is movably mounted in the first receiving slot 120. The photovoltaic module 300 includes a first photovoltaic panel 310 disposed on the top wall of the mounting portion 400. It is understood that the area of the top of the energy storage host 100 is relatively large. Providing the first photovoltaic panel 310 on the top of the energy storage host 100 can help improve the power generation efficiency of the energy storage drone, thereby extending the discharge time of the energy storage host 100. At the same time, the mounting portion 400 can be movably mounted in the first receiving slot 120, so that during operation, the mounting portion 400 has a received state within the first receiving slot 120 and an extended state extending out of the first receiving slot 120. It can be understood that the mounting portion 400 can be movably mounted in the first accommodating slot 120. When not in use, the mounting portion 400 can be accommodated in the first accommodating slot 120, thereby improving the aesthetics of the energy storage host 100, reducing the space occupied by the energy storage host 100, and facilitating the storage of the energy storage host 100.

[0038] Optional, reference Figure 3As shown, the mounting portion 400 has a receiving cavity and an opening 410 communicating with the receiving cavity. The photovoltaic module 300 further includes a second photovoltaic panel 320, which is mounted in the receiving cavity and can extend out of the receiving cavity from the opening 410. It is understandable that, in actual operation, after the mounting portion 400 extends out of the first receiving slot 120, the second photovoltaic panel 320 can be pulled out of the mounting cavity, thereby increasing the power generation efficiency of the energy storage host 100 and thus extending the discharge time of the energy storage host 100. When the energy storage host 100 is not in use, the second photovoltaic panel 320 is pushed into the receiving cavity, and the mounting portion 400 is pushed back into the first receiving slot 120, which can prevent external contaminants, water vapor and other structures from entering the mounting cavity, thereby reducing the chance of the second photovoltaic panel 320 being contaminated and reducing the chance of the second photovoltaic panel 320 being stuck by foreign objects during the extraction process.

[0039] Further optional, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the second photovoltaic panel 320 is a telescopic panel and includes multiple sub-panels 321. Of two adjacent sub-panels 321, one sub-panel 321 can be retracted into the other sub-panel 321. Thus, when the second photovoltaic panel 320 is fully expanded, it has a larger area, which helps improve the power generation efficiency of the energy storage drone and thus prolong the discharge time of the energy storage host 100. In this embodiment, the second photovoltaic panel 320 includes two sub-panels 321. In other embodiments of the present invention, the number of sub-panels 321 included in each second photovoltaic panel 320 can be selected according to actual needs.

[0040] Further optionally, the mounting cavity has a rectangular cross-section, openings 410 are provided on each of the four sidewalls of the mounting cavity, and the number of second photovoltaic panels 320 is four. Thus, increasing the number of second photovoltaic panels 320 can further improve the power generation efficiency of the energy storage drone, thereby extending the discharge time of the energy storage host 100. In other embodiments of the present invention, the number of openings 410 in the mounting cavity and the number of second photovoltaic panels 320 can be adjusted according to actual needs and are not limited to the four in this embodiment.

[0041] Optional, reference Figure 3As shown, the energy storage drone further includes a first connecting rod 500 and a second connecting rod 600. One end of the first connecting rod 500 is connected to the bottom wall of the first receiving groove 120, and the other end of the first connecting rod 500 is rotatably connected to one end of the second connecting rod 600. The other end of the second connecting rod 600 is connected to the mounting portion 400. It is understood that in actual operation, the operator operates the mounting portion 400 to disengage from the first receiving groove 120. Due to the provision of the first connecting rod 500 and the second connecting rod 600, the angle of the second photovoltaic panel 320 can be adjusted according to the position of the sun by adjusting the angle of the first connecting rod 500 relative to the bottom wall of the first receiving groove 120 and the angle of the second connecting rod 600 relative to the first connecting rod 500. This ensures that the second photovoltaic panel 320 always has an appropriate angle relative to the sun, thereby improving the light utilization rate of the second photovoltaic panel 320 and improving the power generation efficiency of the energy storage drone.

[0042] In order to ensure that the second photovoltaic panel 320 can be maintained at a specified angle, damping elements are also installed at the rotating shafts of the first connecting rod 500 and the second connecting rod 600. This can reduce the probability of the second photovoltaic panel 320 rotating under the action of external force during the power generation process, ensuring that the second photovoltaic panel 320 can always have a suitable angle corresponding to the sun, thereby improving the light utilization rate of the second photovoltaic panel 320 and improving the power generation efficiency of the energy storage drone.

[0043] Of course, in the embodiment of the present invention, a telescopic rod is provided on the bottom wall of the first receiving slot 120, and the mounting portion 400 is hingedly connected to the telescopic rod. During actual use, the mounting portion 400 can be extended by operating the telescopic rod, thereby extending the mounting portion 400 from the first receiving slot 120. The mounting portion 400 can then be rotated to maintain an appropriate angle facing the sun. In other words, the structure for achieving the extension and rotation of the mounting portion 400 within the first receiving slot 120 can be selected according to actual needs, and the existing structure of the first connecting rod 500 and the second connecting rod 600 described above is not required.

[0044] Optional, reference Figure 2 As shown, the energy storage host 100 is provided with multiple discharge ports 110 of different types. The discharge port 110 can be in various forms, such as a Type-A port, a Type-B port, a Type-C port, a three-hole socket, a two-hole socket, etc. As a result, the energy storage host 100 of this embodiment can charge mobile devices (e.g., mobile phones, computers) or electrical appliances (e.g., refrigerators, electric heaters), thereby enabling the energy storage drone of this embodiment to charge a variety of electrical devices, expanding the compatibility of the energy storage drone and improving user satisfaction.

[0045] Further optional, refer to Figure 2As shown, the rear end of the energy storage host 100 is provided with a second receiving slot 130, and multiple discharge ports 110 are disposed within the second receiving slot 130. The energy storage drone also includes a sealing cover 700, which is openably connected to the energy storage host 100 and snaps into place with the opening 410 of the second receiving slot 130 to conceal the multiple discharge ports 110. It will be appreciated that the provision of the sealing cover 700 allows the multiple discharge ports 110 to be concealed when the energy storage drone is not in use, preventing dirt or moisture from entering the discharge ports 110. This ensures cleanliness at the discharge ports 110, reduces the failure rate of the discharge ports 110, and ensures stable discharge from the discharge ports 110. To prevent the sealing cover 700 from falling off and exposing the discharge ports 110 during movement or flight, a latching protrusion can be provided on the sealing cover 700, and a latching hole can be provided in the second receiving slot 130. The latching structure secures the sealing cover 700 to the energy storage host 100. Of course, the sealing cover 700 can also be fixed by means of screws, fixing pins and other structures.

[0046] Optional, reference Figure 1 As shown, two blade assemblies 200 are provided on both the left and right walls of the energy storage host 100. The two blade assemblies 200 located on the same side wall are partially overlapped along the front-to-back direction of the energy storage host 100 in the folded state. It is understandable that four blade assemblies 200 are provided on the energy storage host 100. During low-altitude flight, the four blade assemblies 200 are used to simultaneously drive the energy storage host 100 to fly, which can ensure its stability, thereby improving the stability of the energy storage host 100. The two blade assemblies 200 located on the same side wall are partially overlapped along the front-to-back direction of the energy storage host 100 in the folded state, which can further reduce the floor space occupied by the blade assemblies 200 in the folded state, thereby further reducing the storage volume of the energy storage drone.

[0047] Optional, reference Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, the paddle arm 210 of the blade assembly 200 includes a connecting portion 211 and an arm body 212. The connecting portion 211 is detachably connected to the energy storage host 100. One end of the arm body 212 is rotatably connected to the connecting portion 211, and the other end is used to mount the blade 220 of the blade assembly 200. The paddle arm 210 is divided into two parts. The connecting portion 211 is detachably connected to the energy storage host 100, which can facilitate the installation and disassembly maintenance of the blade assembly 200. The arm body 212 can rotate relative to the connecting portion 211, which can facilitate the folding of the entire paddle arm 210.

[0048] Optionally, the photovoltaic module 300 further includes a third photovoltaic panel 330 mounted on the paddle arm 210 of the blade assembly 200. Providing the third photovoltaic panel 330 on the paddle arm 210 of the blade assembly 200 can further improve the power generation efficiency of the energy storage drone, thereby extending the discharge time of the energy storage host 100.

[0049] Optional, reference Figure 1 As shown, the energy storage drone also includes a walking wheel 800, which is detachably mounted on the bottom of the energy storage host 100. The walking wheel 800 has a retracted state and a walking state. In the retracted state, the walking wheel 800 is partially retracted into the energy storage host 100. In the walking state, the walking wheel 800 extends out of the energy storage host 100 and can drive the energy storage host 100 to walk.

[0050] Further optional, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the front and rear ends of the energy storage host 100 are both provided with a telescopic slot 140, and the energy storage drone also includes a telescopic frame 900, one end of the telescopic frame 900 is telescopically mounted on the telescopic slot 140, and the other end is detachably connected to two running wheels 800. It can be understood that by setting the telescopic frame 900, the running wheels 800 can be switched between the retracted state and the running state. In the actual working process, the operator only needs to pull the telescopic frame 900 out of the telescopic slot 140 or push it back, which is very convenient to operate. It should be noted that the cooperation between the telescopic frame 900 and the telescopic slot 140 is similar to the pull-out structure of a drawer, that is, the structure of the telescopic frame 900 can be selected according to the existing technology, and there is no need to limit the specific cooperation method of the telescopic frame 900 and the telescopic slot 140.

[0051] Further optional, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the other end of the telescopic frame 900 is provided with a telescopic structure 1000, and the other end of the telescopic structure 1000 facing away from the telescopic frame 900 is connected to the running wheel 800. It is understandable that through the additional telescopic structure 1000, the telescopic frame 900 can be pulled out of the telescopic slot 140 and then expanded a second time, so that the distance between the two running wheels 800 on the same telescopic frame 900 is increased, thereby improving the stability of the energy storage drone when walking on land. It should be noted that the telescopic structure 1000 of this embodiment is a telescopic rod, that is, a structure including multiple sleeve rods. This structure is a prior art and does not need to be described in detail here.
