Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to a battery for unmanned aerial vehicles and a unmanned aerial vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In the drone industry, batteries are used as a power source, and their convenience is directly related to the operating efficiency and safety of drones. At present, multi-rotor drone batteries on the market are mainly divided into two categories. These two types of batteries have their own advantages in terms of convenience of use, but they also have some significant limitations.

[0003] One is a special battery with a shell package. This type of battery is designed for a specific drone model at the beginning, so its versatility and maintainability are relatively poor. Due to the close integration of the battery and the drone body, once there is a problem with the battery, the entire drone often needs to be sent to a professional maintenance point for repair, which not only increases the time and cost of repair, but also affects the efficiency of the drone. Another type of battery with a pure battery lead-out wire connector (commonly known as a model aircraft battery) has higher flexibility and maintainability. This type of battery is composed of a simple arrangement and combination of battery cells, and the outside is wrapped with a heat shrink film. However, the connection between it and the drone body is only based on a simple, and the fixing effect is not firm, which reduces the reliability of the drone operation to a certain extent. Secondly, the model aircraft battery and the drone are connected by a wire connector. After the battery is pasted and bundled, it is necessary to manually connect the wire connector, which is very troublesome. In addition, for the monitoring and management of the battery, users can only use external measuring equipment for measurement and monitoring. Utility Model Content
