Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assembly, and in particular to a quick connection and disassembly structure for a modular UAV. Background Art

[0002] Amid the rapid development of drone technology, modular design is becoming a key development direction in the drone industry due to its advantages such as strong scalability, easy maintenance, and flexible functionality. Modular drones allow users to quickly replace functional modules such as batteries, cameras, and sensors based on different mission requirements, significantly improving the versatility and efficiency of drones. The battery module, as the drone's power source, has a direct impact on the user experience, safety, and mission efficiency of the drone.

[0003] However, the existing installation methods of drone battery modules and bodies mostly use screw fastening and snap-on plug-in. Although screw fastening can ensure the stability of the connection, each time the battery is replaced, the screws need to be tightened multiple times with the help of tools, which is time-consuming. Although the traditional snap-on plug-in structure is relatively easy to operate, it has problems such as difficult alignment and laborious plugging and unplugging. In response to the above problems, the inventors proposed a quick connection and disassembly structure for modular drones to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the problem of quick installation of drone battery modules, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a quick connection and disassembly structure for modular drones.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: a quick connection and disassembly structure for a modular drone, comprising a drone body, a mounting groove being provided on one side of the drone body, a battery module being fixedly installed inside the mounting groove, a guide groove being provided on the top of the battery module, a guide frame being fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the mounting groove, the guide frame being slidably engaged in the inside of the guide groove, a self-locking mechanism 1 being provided inside the guide frame, a self-locking mechanism 2 being provided between one side of the bottom of the drone body and the battery module, the self-locking mechanism 1 and the self-locking mechanism 2 being used for doubly self-locking the battery module, a limiting component being provided on the side of the mounting groove close to the battery module, the limiting component being used to pop the battery module out from the inside of the mounting groove.

[0006] The top end face of the sliding frame is fixedly connected to the top surface of the sliding frame, and the top end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the pressing plate. A sliding groove is provided on the side of the interior of the drone body close to the guide frame, and the connecting rod and the pressing plate are both slidably engaged in the sliding groove.

[0007] Preferably, the second self-locking mechanism includes a plate slot, which is opened on the inner side of the bottom of the drone body, and a slide is slidably engaged inside the plate slot, and a slide rod is fixedly connected to one side of the slide, and the slide extends to the outside of the drone body at one end away from the slide and is fixedly connected to a resist plate. A slot is opened on one side of the drone body and the battery module, and the resist plate is movably engaged in the slot, and a second spring is movably sleeved on the outer side of the slide rod.

[0008] Preferably, the limit assembly includes a push plate, which is slidably engaged with the inner side of the mounting groove, and a telescopic rod is provided on the side of the push plate away from the battery module, and a spring three is movably sleeved on the outer side of the telescopic rod, and the bottom end of the drone body is slidably engaged with a clamping block near the push plate, and a spring four is fixedly connected between the top surface of the clamping block and the top surface of the inner wall of the mounting groove, and the bottom end of the clamping block is fixedly connected to the clamping plate, and the bottom end of the clamping plate is movably inserted into the inner side of the top end of the push plate, and a trapezoidal groove is provided on one side of the clamping block, and an extension rod is movably passed through one side of the guide frame, and an unlocking block is fixedly connected to the end of the extension rod away from the guide frame, and the unlocking block conflicts with the inclined surface of the trapezoidal groove.

[0009] Preferably, the side of the inner wall of the guide groove opposite to the bottom of the plug plate and the side of the bottom of the clamping plate close to the battery module are both arranged to be sloped surfaces.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. When assembling the battery module and the drone body, when the battery module is fully inserted into the drone body, its outer side is flush with the same side of the drone body, without any protrusions, further improving the overall aesthetics of the device. The cooperation between the first and second self-locking mechanisms provides a double lock between the battery module and the drone body, further improving the stability of the battery module during installation. At the same time, it facilitates the removal of the battery module, further improving the convenience of battery module assembly.

[0012] 2. When inserting the battery module into the installation slot, use the telescopic rod to guide the movement of the push plate. At the same time, push the push plate to one side of the telescopic rod and compress spring three. This allows spring three to store elastic potential energy. When removing the battery module, the battery module can be ejected from the inside of the installation slot, making it easier to pull the battery module out of the drone body.

[0023] The self-locking mechanism 6 includes a guide block 61, which is arranged inside the guide frame 5. The bottom end of the guide block 61 is fixedly connected to the plug plate 62. The bottom end of the inner wall of the guide groove 4 is provided with a slot 63 corresponding to the plug plate 62, and the plug plate 62 is movably inserted in the slot 63.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, after the battery module 3 is inserted into the interior of the mounting groove 2, the insertion depth of the battery module 3 is limited by utilizing the cooperation between the guide groove 4 and the guide frame 5, and the plug-in plate 62 is movably inserted into the interior of the slot 63, thereby limiting the removal of the mounting groove 2 and completing the fixed installation of the battery module 3.

[0025] An oblique groove 64 is provided on the guide block 61, and a sliding frame 65 is slidably connected to the inside of the guide frame 5. The guide block 61 is slidably connected to the sliding frame 65. A movable rod 66 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the sliding frame 65. The movable rod 66 is movably connected to the oblique groove 64. A spring 610 is fixedly connected between the top surface of the guide block 61 and the top surface of the inner wall of the guide frame 5.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, when the sliding frame 65 moves horizontally, it drives the movable rod 66 to move synchronously, and uses the oblique groove 64 to guide the movement of the guide block 61, while driving the guide block 61 to move vertically, thereby driving the plug-in board 62 to move vertically, controlling the plug-in and pull-out operations of the plug-in board 62, and the setting of the spring 6 can automatically reset the guide block 61.

[0027] A connecting rod 67 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the sliding frame 65, and a pressing plate 69 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 67. A sliding groove 68 is opened on the side of the inside of the drone body 1 close to the guide frame 5, and the connecting rod 67 and the pressing plate 69 are both slidably engaged in the sliding groove 68.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressing plate 69 is pushed along the inside of the slide groove 68 to move horizontally, and under the connection action of the connecting rod 67, the sliding frame 65 is pushed to move to one side of the limit component 8, thereby completing the unlocking operation.

[0029] The second self-locking mechanism 7 includes a plate slot 71, which is provided on the inner side of the bottom of the drone body 1. A slide plate 72 is slidably engaged inside the plate slot 71, and a slide bar 73 is fixedly connected to one side of the slide bar 72. The end of the slide bar 72 away from the slide bar 72 extends to the outside of the drone body 1 and is fixedly connected to a stop plate 74. A slot 75 is provided on one side of the drone body 1 and the battery module 3, and the stop plate 74 is movably engaged in the slot 75. A second spring 76 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the slide bar 73.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, after the battery module 3 is inserted into the installation slot 2, the push plate 74 is engaged with the inside of the slot 75 on the battery module 3, thereby further limiting the removal of the battery module 3, and cooperating with the self-locking mechanism 1 6 to achieve double engagement of the battery module 3. When it is necessary to release the limit of the battery module 3 by the push plate 74, the push plate 74 is pulled outward to be pulled out from the inside of the slot 75 on the battery module 3, and then the push plate 74 is rotated to 90 degrees. The setting of the spring 2 76 enables the push plate 74 to be tightly in contact with the battery module 3.

[0031] The limiting assembly 8 includes a push plate 81, which is slidably engaged with the inner side of the mounting slot 2. A telescopic rod 82 is provided on the side of the push plate 81 away from the battery module 3, and a spring 83 is provided on the outer movable sleeve of the telescopic rod 82.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, when the battery module 3 is inserted into the interior of the installation slot 2, the telescopic rod 82 is used to guide the movement of the push plate 81, and at the same time, the push plate 81 is pushed to move toward the side of the telescopic rod 82, and the spring three 83 is compressed, so that the spring three 83 reserves elastic potential energy, which can enable the battery module 3 to be ejected from the interior of the installation slot 2 when the battery module 3 is disassembled.

[0033] The bottom end of the drone body 1 is slidably engaged with a snap-in block 84 near one side of the push plate 81, and a spring four 88 is fixedly connected between the top surface of the snap-in block 84 and the top surface of the inner wall of the mounting groove 2. The bottom end of the snap-in block 84 is fixedly connected to a snap-in plate 85, and the bottom end of the snap-in plate 85 is movably inserted into the inner side of the top end of the push plate 81. A trapezoidal groove 86 is provided on one side of the snap-in block 84, and an extension rod 9 is movably passed through one side of the guide frame 5. The end of the extension rod 9 away from the guide frame 5 is fixedly connected with an unlocking block 87, and the unlocking block 87 conflicts with the inclined surface of the trapezoidal groove 86.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, when the battery module 3 is inserted into the interior of the installation slot 2, the elastic force of the spring four 88 is utilized to make the clamping plate 85 be inserted into the top end of the push plate 81, thereby locking the position of the push plate 81. When unlocking, by pressing the pressing plate 69, the extension rod 9 and the unlocking block 87 can be pushed to one side of the clamping block 84 at the same time. By utilizing the cooperation between the inclined surface of the trapezoidal groove 86 and the unlocking block 87, the clamping block 84 can be pushed to move upward, so that the clamping plate 85 is pulled out from the top end of the extension rod 9, thereby releasing the restriction on the horizontal movement of the push plate 81.

[0035] The side of the inner wall of the guide groove 4 opposite to the bottom of the inserting plate 62 and the side of the bottom of the clamping plate 85 close to the battery module 3 are both arranged to be inclined.

[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting the side of the inner wall of the guide groove 4 opposite to the bottom of the plug plate 62 and the side of the bottom of the clamping plate 85 close to the battery module 3 into a slope 10, and using the slope 10 for guidance, the battery module 3 can be installed more conveniently.

[0037] Working Principle: When connecting the battery module 3 of the drone to the drone body, the positions of the battery module 3 and the mounting slot 2, as well as the guide slot 4 and the guide frame 5, are aligned. The guide frame 5 guides the insertion of the battery module 3. When the battery module 3 is fully inserted into the drone body 1, its outer side is flush with the same side of the drone body 1, without any protrusions, further improving the overall aesthetics of the device.

[0038] When the battery module 3 contacts the push plate 81 during the insertion installation process, the telescopic rod 82 is used to guide the movement of the push plate 81, and at the same time, the push plate 81 is pushed to the side of the telescopic rod 82, and the spring three 83 is compressed, so that the spring three 83 reserves elastic potential energy. When the battery module 3 moves to the position corresponding to the slot 63 and the plug plate 62 and the clamping plates 85 and 90, the elastic forces of 6 and spring four 88 are used to respectively insert the plug plate 62 and the clamping plate 85 into the corresponding slot 63 and the interior of the extension rod 9, thereby limiting the removal of the battery module 3 and the lateral movement of the push plate 81;

[0039] Then, the abutment plate 74 is engaged with the inside of the engagement slot 75 on the battery module 3, thereby further limiting the removal of the battery module 3 and cooperating with the self-locking mechanism 1 6 to achieve a double engagement of the battery module 3, further improving the stability of the battery module 3 during installation;

[0040] When the battery module 3 needs to be disassembled, the first step is to pull the support plate 74 outward to pull the support plate 74 out from the inside of the card slot 75 on the battery module 3, and then rotate the support plate 74 to 90 degrees to release the restriction of the battery module 3 by the support plate 74. Then, the pressing plate 69 is pushed along the inside of the slide groove 68 to move horizontally, and under the connection action of the connecting rod 67, the sliding frame 65 and the movable rod 66 are pushed to one side of the limit assembly 8 at the same time, and the oblique groove 64 is used to guide the movement of the guide block 61, and at the same time, the guide block 61 is driven to move upward, thereby driving the plug-in plate 62 to move upward, so that the plug-in plate 62 is pulled out from the inside of the slot 63, and then the elastic force of the spring three 83 is used to reset the push plate 81, so that the battery module 3 is ejected from the inside of the mounting slot 2, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the battery module 3.

[0041] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such changes and modifications.
