For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0032] In one aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a battery lock structure 10 is provided, including a lock base 100 and a lock member 200 movably arranged on the lock base 100, the lock member 200 having a first position for engaging with the battery 20 and a second position for disengaging from the battery 20, a limiting groove 300 is arranged on the lock base 100, the lock member 200 having a first limiting protrusion 210 and a second limiting protrusion 220, when the lock member 200 is in the first position, the first limiting protrusion 210 is engaged with the limiting groove 300, when the lock member 200 is in the second position, the second limiting protrusion 220 is engaged with the limiting groove 300, and the lock member 200 is driven to switch between the first position and the second position.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a limiting groove 300 is provided on the lock base 100, and the lock member 200 is provided with a first limiting protrusion 210 and a second limiting protrusion 220. Figure 1 As shown, when the locking member 200 is in the first position, the first limiting protrusion 210 and the limiting groove 300 are cleverly engaged, thereby achieving a firm engagement between the locking member 200 and the battery 20. Figure 2 As shown, accordingly, when the locking member 200 is located in the second position, the second limiting protrusion 220 cooperates with the limiting groove 300 to achieve smooth unlocking of the locking member 200 and the battery 20. In addition, the key point of this design is that the locking member 200 can be driven to switch flexibly between the first position and the second position, which provides convenience for the loading and unloading of the battery 20. At the same time, through the reasonable setting of the limiting structure, the firmness and reliability of the battery locking structure 10 are maintained during the switching process of the locking member 200 driven between the two positions. This innovative battery locking structure 10 not only improves the convenience and safety of loading and unloading the battery 20, but also provides more stable and reliable power support for the use of the drone.

[0034] It should also be noted that the limiting groove 300 can be one, the first limiting protrusion 210 and the second limiting protrusion 220 can be one or more, and the locking member 200 can be switched between the first position and the second position by switching the first limiting protrusion 210 and the second limiting protrusion 220 to cooperate with the limiting groove 300; the limiting groove 300 can also be multiple, such as Figure 3 As shown, the limiting groove 300 includes two first limiting grooves 310 and two second limiting grooves 320, the two first limiting grooves 310 and the two second limiting grooves 320 are annular and evenly spaced, and each first limiting groove 310 is located between two second limiting grooves 320. At this time, the angle between the adjacent first limiting grooves 310 and the second limiting grooves 320 and the annular center line is 90°, the angle between the two first limiting grooves 310 and the annular center line is 180°, and the angle between the two second limiting grooves 320 and the annular center line is 180°. Correspondingly, two first limiting protrusions 210 and two second limiting protrusions 220 are set, and the two first limiting protrusions 210 and the two second limiting protrusions 220 are also annular and evenly spaced, and each first limiting protrusion 210 is located between two second limiting protrusions 220. At this time, the angle between the adjacent first limiting protrusions 210 and the second limiting protrusion 220 and the line connecting the center of the ring is also 90°, the angle between the two first limiting protrusions 210 and the line connecting the center of the ring is also 180°, and the angle between the two second limiting protrusions 220 and the line connecting the center of the ring is also 180°. When the first limiting protrusion 210 is engaged with the first limiting groove 310 and the second limiting protrusion 220 is engaged with the second limiting groove 320, the locking member 200 is located in the first position. At this time, the length direction of the locking member 200 can be perpendicular to the length direction of the locking base 100, and the two ends of the locking member 200 along the length direction extend outward from the locking base 100 so that the locking member 200 can be engaged with the battery 20; when the locking member 200 is driven by an external force, so that the first limiting protrusion 210 moves to engage with the second limiting groove 320 and the second limiting protrusion 220 moves to engage with the first limiting groove 310, the locking member 200 is located in the second position. At this time, the length direction of the locking member 200 can be parallel to the length direction of the locking base 100, so that the locking member 200 can be released from the battery 20.

[0035] Optionally, when the locking member 200 is located at the first position, the locking member 200 has a clamping portion 230 protruding from the locking base 100 , and the locking member 200 is clamped with the battery 20 via the clamping portion 230 .

[0036] like Figure 3As shown, the locking member 200 has a clamping portion 230. When the locking member 200 is located in the first position, the clamping portion 230 protrudes from the locking base 100. The function of the clamping portion 230 is to form a stable connection with the battery 20, ensuring that the battery 20 can be safely and reliably clamped on the locking base 100 when the locking member 200 is located in the first position.

[0037] The design of the clamping portion 230 takes into account multiple factors, such as material selection, shape optimization, etc. This allows the clamping portion 230 to provide sufficient friction and tightness when clamping with the battery 20, so that the battery 20 is not easily affected by external vibration or impact during flight, ensuring that the battery 20 will not accidentally fall off during use.

[0038] Therefore, through the clamping portion 230 of the lock member 200 when in the first position, the battery lock structure 10 fully reflects the comprehensive consideration of safety, stability and user experience. This innovative design significantly improves the functionality and practicality of the battery lock structure 10, so that the battery lock structure 10 can be widely used in various battery 20 driven devices.

[0039] Optionally, the lock base 100 includes a base 110 and a support base 120 slidably disposed on the base 110, the limiting groove 300 is located on the support base 120, when the lock member 200 is in the first position, the lock member 200 is driven to push the support base 120 to slide so that the limiting groove 300 and the first limiting protrusion 210 are released from the engagement, and when the lock member 200 is switched to the second position, the second limiting protrusion 220 cooperates with the limiting groove 300 to engage with the locking protrusion;

[0040] When the locking member 200 is in the second position, the locking member 200 is driven to push the support seat 120 to slide so that the limiting groove 300 and the second limiting protrusion 220 are released from the engagement, and when the locking member 200 is switched to the first position, the first limiting protrusion 210 and the limiting groove 300 are engaged with each other.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the design of the lock base 100 includes not only a base 110 for supporting the lock member 200, but also a support base 120 slidably disposed on the base 110. The support base 120 is used to stably support the limiting groove 300. When the lock member 200 is driven to push the support base 120 to slide relative to the base, the support base 120 can drive the limiting groove 300 to slide relative to the base 110, so that the limiting groove 300 is separated from the first limiting protrusion 210 or the second limiting protrusion 220, that is, the clamping is released, thereby effectively realizing the smooth switching of the lock member 200 between the first position and the second position.

[0042] Specifically, the first limiting protrusion 210 has a first oblique pressure surface that cooperates with the limiting groove 300, and the second limiting protrusion 220 has a second oblique pressure surface that cooperates with the limiting groove 300. Therefore, when the locking member 200 is in the first position, if the battery 20 needs to be removed from the battery compartment of the drone, a driving force can be given to the locking member 200, and this driving force transmits the interference extrusion force to the limiting groove 300 through the first oblique pressure surface to push the support seat 120 to slide, so that the limiting groove 300 is released from the first limiting protrusion 210, and when the locking member 200 is continuously driven and switched to the second position, the second limiting protrusion 220 is engaged with the limiting groove 300, thereby realizing the release of the battery 20 from the locking member 200. This design not only keeps the locking member 200 and the battery 20 stably released from the clamping, but also ensures flexibility when switching to the second position is required. On the contrary, when the locking member 200 is in the second position, if the battery 20 needs to be fixedly installed in the battery compartment of the drone, at this time, a driving force can also be given to the locking member 200, and this driving force transmits the interference extrusion force to the limiting groove 300 through the second inclined pressure surface to push the support seat 120 to slide, release the clamping connection between the limiting groove 300 and the second limiting protrusion 220, and when the locking member 200 is continuously driven and switched to the first position, the first limiting protrusion 210 cooperates with the limiting groove 300 to clamp the battery 20 and the locking member 200. This ingenious design allows the locking member 200 to move freely between the first position and the second position, realizing an efficient locking and unlocking process.

[0043] In general, the sliding design of the support base 120 increases the flexibility of the battery lock structure 10, making the switching of the lock member 200 between different positions smoother. Secondly, the locking groove 300 and the first limiting protrusion 210 or the second limiting protrusion 220 are engaged to ensure the firmness and stability of the lock member 200 in two positions, thereby ensuring the stability of the lock member 200 and the battery 20 during the engagement and release process. Such a design ensures the reliability and stability of the battery lock structure 10 and the battery 20 during use.

[0044] Optionally, the battery lock structure 10 also includes an elastic member 400 connected to the support base 120 , and the elastic member 400 is used to provide a reset force to the support base 120 so that the limiting groove 300 has a tendency to cooperate and engage with the first limiting protrusion 210 or the second limiting protrusion 220 .

[0045] like Figure 3As shown, in the battery lock structure 10, in addition to the ingenious design of the lock member 200 and the lock base 100, an elastic member 400 connected to the support base 120 is added. By applying a pre-tightening force to the elastic member 400, the lock member 200 can be stably stopped at the first position or the second position when not subjected to external force. This design further improves the performance and reliability of the battery lock structure 10. At the same time, the elastic member 400 can also provide a reset force for the support base 120, thereby ensuring that the limiting groove 300 has a tendency to cooperate with the first limiting protrusion 210 or the second limiting protrusion 220.

[0046] When the locking member 200 is driven to move from the first position to the second position or from the second position to the first position, the support seat 120 is pushed to slide. The sliding of the support seat 120 also drives the deformation of the elastic member 400, storing the force in the form of deformation. This energy storage mechanism allows the battery lock structure 10 to be more smooth and efficient when engaging or disengaging with the battery 20. When the locking member 200 moves to the second position or the first position, the driving force on the locking member 200 is removed. At this time, the elastic member 400 releases the stored energy and provides a reset force to the support seat 120. This reset force makes the limiting groove 300 have a tendency to cooperate with the second limiting protrusion 220 or the first limiting protrusion 210 to ensure that the locking member 200 can switch between the two positions quickly and stably.

[0047] In general, the design of the elastic member 400 significantly improves the reliability and stability of the battery lock structure 10. The elastic member 400 not only reduces the impact force when the support base 120 slides, but also provides a reset force to make the clamping between the limiting groove 300 and the first limiting protrusion 210 or the second limiting protrusion 220 more firmly. This design makes the battery lock structure 10 more intelligent and efficient in practical applications, while ensuring the reliability of the battery lock structure 10 in various environments and extending the service life of the battery lock structure 10.

[0048] Optionally, the battery lock structure 10 further includes a mounting shaft 500 fixed to the lock base 100 , and the lock member 200 is rotatably mounted on the mounting shaft 500 .

[0049] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in the battery lock structure 10, another key component is the mounting shaft 500 fixed to the lock base 100. The introduction of this design further enhances the stability and operability of the lock. The function of the mounting shaft 500 is to provide a good rotation fulcrum for the lock member 200, so that it can rotate and move on the mounting shaft 500.

[0050] The lock member 200 is rotatably mounted on the mounting shaft 500, and can freely switch between the first position and the second position during the rotation around the shaft. This design makes the clamping process between the limiting groove 300 and the first limiting protrusion 210 or the second limiting protrusion 220 smoother, improves the operating efficiency of the lock, and makes the battery lock structure 10 more flexible and more adaptable when locking and unlocking the battery 20. The firmness of the mounting shaft 500 ensures that the lock member 200 is not easy to loosen or swing during the rotation process, and is not easy to deform or damage, thereby increasing the reliability of the entire lock structure.

[0051] In general, the battery lock structure 10 makes full use of the design of the mounting shaft 500 to improve the flexibility and stability of the lock. By rotating the lock member 200 on the mounting shaft 500, a more accurate and controllable battery 20 locking and unlocking process is achieved. This innovative design is expected to be widely used in battery 20 driven devices, providing a more reliable and efficient battery 20 locking solution.

[0052] Optionally, a fastener 600 is provided at one end of the lock base 100 away from the lock member 200 , and the installation shaft 500 is fixedly connected to the fastener 600 .

[0053] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the design of the lock base 100 further considers the firmness of the structure, and a fastener 600 is provided at one end of the lock base 100 away from the lock member 200, and the mounting shaft 500 is firmly connected to the fastener 600. The purpose of this design is to enhance the stability and durability of the entire battery lock structure 10, and ensure that the lock member 200 can always maintain a reliable working state in a complex and changeable use environment.

[0054] Specifically, the fastener 600 is arranged at one end of the lock base 100 to fix the battery. The selection and installation position of the fastener 600 are carefully designed to ensure that the connection between the lock base 100 and the fastener 600 is unbreakable in an environment of high-speed movement and vibration. The mounting shaft 500 is firmly connected to the fastener 600, which further consolidates the stability of the entire battery lock structure 10, improves the overall rigidity, and helps to avoid loosening or falling off during use. This structural reinforcement design enables the lock base 100 to maintain structural integrity in various scenarios where the battery lock structure 10 is used, thereby improving the reliability and durability of the battery lock structure 10.

[0055] It should be noted that the installation shaft 500 can be a high-strength shoulder screw, shoulder pin, pin shaft, etc., and different structures and functions can be selected according to the requirements of specific scenarios to meet various connection and fixing needs. The flexibility of this design provides strong support for the wide application of the battery 20 lock in different application fields; the fastener 600 can be an insert nut, and the knurling or other patterns of the insert nut are buried in the reserved installation space of the lock base 100. The fastener 600 can also be a hot-melt nut, which is fixedly installed in the reserved installation space of the lock base 100 by hot melting or injection molding, and the installation shaft 500 is fixedly inserted into the fastener 600 to realize a threaded connection. Thus, the installation shaft 500, the fastener 600 and the lock base 100 are reliably connected as one.

[0056] In general, this innovative design further improves the firmness of the battery lock structure 10 by setting the fastener 600 on the lock base 100 and fixing the mounting shaft 500 to the fastener 600, making the battery lock structure 10 more stable and reliable in practical applications. The consolidation of this structure will have a positive impact on the performance improvement of battery 20 driven devices such as small drones, providing them with a more stable and safe battery 20 locking solution.

[0057] Optionally, a through variable diameter mounting hole 240 is opened in the locking member 200, the side wall surface of the variable diameter mounting hole 240 is a stepped surface, and an annular protrusion 510 is provided on the mounting shaft 500, the mounting shaft 500 passes through the variable diameter mounting hole 240, and the annular protrusion 510 abuts against the stepped surface.

[0058] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in a further innovation of the battery lock structure 10, a through variable diameter mounting hole 240 is provided in the lock member 200. The side wall surface of the variable diameter mounting hole 240 adopts a stepped surface design, which is matched with an annular protrusion 510 provided on the mounting shaft 500. The purpose of this design is to achieve a stable connection between the lock member 200 and the mounting shaft 500 through the abutment of the annular protrusion 510 with the stepped surface.

[0059] Specifically, the mounting shaft 500 is inserted into the variable diameter mounting hole 240, and the variable diameter mounting hole 240 gradually decreases along the insertion direction of the mounting shaft 500, so that the mounting shaft 500 is stably inserted into the variable diameter mounting hole 240, and the annular protrusion 510 can cleverly cooperate with the stepped surface to form a tight connection mechanism. This design ensures the stability of the locking member 200 on the mounting shaft 500, and also prevents the locking member 200 from unnecessary shaking during rotation or movement along the axis of the mounting shaft 500. The reasonable design of this structure not only ensures the firmness of the battery 20 lock, but also increases the durability and vibration resistance of the entire lock structure.

[0060] In summary, the ingenious design between the locking member 200 and the mounting shaft 500, as well as the cooperation between the variable diameter mounting hole 240 of the locking member 200 and the annular protrusion 510 on the mounting shaft 500, make the rotation of the locking member 200 smoother and more stable, which helps to improve the service life of the battery locking structure 10. In practical applications, this optimization will provide stronger support for the stability and reliability of the battery locking structure 10, creating favorable conditions for the wide application of the battery locking structure 10 in high-speed sports equipment.

[0061] Optionally, the battery lock structure 10 further includes an anti-wear component 700 , and the annular protrusion 510 abuts against the step surface via the anti-wear component 700 .

[0062] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in the further design of the battery lock structure 10, an anti-wear part 700 is introduced. The purpose of this design is to improve the wear resistance and stability of the lock structure. Usually, the lock member 200 is made of plastic material, and the mounting shaft 500 is made of metal material. In order to maximize the role of the anti-wear part 700, the material of the anti-wear part 700 should match the two respectively. Such a design ensures that the anti-wear part 700 is coordinated with the materials of the lock member 200 and the mounting shaft 500 to form a tighter connection, so that the entire lock structure can maintain good performance during high-speed movement and frequent use.

[0063] Specifically, the annular protrusion 510 forms an effective wear-resistant connection with the stepped surface through the setting of the anti-wear part 700. In the embodiment of the present application, the anti-wear part 700 mainly includes two parts, a copper gasket 710 and a plastic gasket 720, which play a role in reducing wear and improving service life in the lock structure. The layered structure between the copper gasket 710 and the plastic gasket 720 not only reduces the friction between the metal and the plastic, but also effectively reduces the wear rate of the lock part 200 during movement. By reducing friction, the stability and durability of the battery lock structure 10 are significantly improved. As a part of the anti-wear part 700, the copper gasket 710 is arranged between the annular protrusion 510 and the plastic gasket 720. This configuration not only provides additional strength and stability, but also forms a layer of buffer between the metal and the plastic, reducing the friction of the lock during movement. The plastic gasket 720 is responsible for further reducing wear. It contacts the stepped surface, making the movement of the lock part 200 smoother.

[0064] In summary, by introducing the copper gasket 710 and the plastic gasket 720 as the anti-wear part 700 in the battery lock buckle structure 10, the wear rate of the lock buckle 200 is effectively slowed down, and the service life of the battery lock buckle structure 10 is improved. This design not only increases the stability of the entire structure at the technical level, but also provides a solid technical foundation for the reliability and durability of the lock buckle from the perspective of material matching.

[0065] In another aspect of the embodiment of the present application, a drone is provided, comprising a drone body and a battery lock structure 10 as described above. A battery compartment for installing a battery 20 is provided in the drone body. In order to improve the safety and stability of the battery 20, a lock base 100 of the battery lock structure 10 is cleverly arranged in the battery compartment. The lock member 200 of the battery lock structure 10 is engaged with the battery 20 in the battery compartment at a first position, and is released from the battery 20 in the battery compartment at a second position. When the lock member 200 is located at the first position, it is engaged with the battery 20 in the battery compartment to form a firm connection. In this process, the setting of the lock base 100 ensures the stability of the lock member 200, and the battery 20 can be safely and reliably installed on the drone body. When the drone needs to replace the battery 20 or perform maintenance, the lock member 200 can be switched to the second position, and the lock member 20 can be released from the battery 20, so that the battery 20 can be quickly replaced or released easily. Since the drone includes the above-mentioned battery lock structure 10, it also has the same beneficial effects as the battery lock structure 10, which will not be described in detail here.

[0066] Optionally, the locking base 100 is detachably connected to the battery compartment, or the locking base 100 is non-detachably connected to the battery compartment.

[0067] In this innovative technical solution, the connection method between the lock base 100 and the battery compartment demonstrates flexibility and diversity. This design allows the lock base 100 and the battery compartment to be connected in a detachable or non-detachable manner to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

[0068] First of all, for detachable connection methods, bolt connection is one of the common and effective options. By designing a bolt connection, the connection between the lock base 100 and the battery compartment becomes detachable, allowing users to disassemble the battery lock structure 10 more conveniently, and the bolt connection can increase the connection points between the battery lock structure 10 and the battery compartment, which is conducive to sharing the force and thus reducing concentrated stress. In addition, other detachable connection methods include quick release pins, latch connections, etc., all of which provide convenient solutions for the connection between the battery lock structure 10 and the battery compartment.

[0069] On the contrary, the design of the non-detachable connection adopts one-piece molding and other methods. One-piece molding is to make the lock base 100 and the battery compartment form an integral whole through process technology, which cannot be easily disassembled. This connection method is suitable for scenarios with stronger structural requirements. The one-piece molding design increases the overall strength of the lock structure, ensuring that there will be no safety hazards due to loose connection parts during flight.

[0070] In general, this drone design demonstrates diversity and customizability in the connection method of the battery lock structure 10. Whether it is a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection, it provides users with more choices, allowing the drone to better adapt to the needs of various practical application scenarios.

[0071] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
