Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aircraft, in particular to an installation structure for a drone battery. Background Art

[0002] With the wide application of drone technology in the fields of military reconnaissance, geographical mapping, environmental monitoring, logistics distribution, etc., the endurance of drones has become one of the key factors restricting their performance. As the main power source of drones, the quick replacement and stability of batteries directly affect the use efficiency and safety of drones.

[0003] In the prior art, the replacement of drone batteries usually relies on a mechanical buckle structure to achieve a locking connection with the battery housing. Although this design is convenient for operation, it has the following deficiencies:

[0004] Connection stability problem: The mechanical buckle may be worn after repeated use, resulting in an unstable connection between the battery and the housing, increasing the risk of the battery falling off during flight.

[0005] Difficulty in detecting the locking in place: In the prior art, whether the battery is fully locked in place often depends on the subjective judgment of the operator, lacking objective detection means, which is likely to cause the battery to be not connected in place, affecting the normal operation of the drone.

[0006] Quick replacement requirement: In some application scenarios that require quick response, such as emergency rescue, express logistics, etc., the quick replacement ability of drone batteries is particularly important. There is still room for improvement in the battery replacement speed of the prior art.

[0007] Safety problem: An unstable or incorrect connection of the battery may lead to poor circuit connection, or even cause safety accidents such as short circuits, posing a threat to the flight safety of the drone.

[0008] Maintenance cost: Due to the wear and damage of the buckle structure, regular inspections and replacements are required, increasing the maintenance cost and use cost of the drone.

[0009] In response to the above problems, although there have been some improvement measures, such as enhancing the durability of the buckle and optimizing the matching structure between the battery and the housing, these measures can often only solve some problems and cannot fundamentally improve the connection stability of the battery and the accuracy of the in-place detection.

[0010] Therefore, developing a new type of installation structure for drone batteries, which can not only ensure the quick locking of the battery and the housing, but also provide accurate in-place detection, is of great significance for improving the endurance, use efficiency and safety of drones.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0028] In order to describe in detail the technical content, achieved objectives, and effects of the present utility model, the following is described in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] From the above description, it can be seen that the beneficial effect of the utility model is that the battery 2 is accurately plugged and positioned with the housing 1 through the design of the insertion slot 11 of the housing 1 and the buckle 22, positioning member 23 and trigger member 21 on the battery 2. The setting of the in-place detection device can ensure that the battery 2 is installed in place, and the detection device is triggered by the contact of the trigger member 21, providing an intuitive way to confirm the installation of the battery 2.

[0031] Furthermore, the in-place detection device includes a control circuit board and a detection sensor 3 and a feedback member electrically connected to the control circuit board respectively. When the battery 2 is installed in place in the insertion slot 11, the trigger member 21 triggers the detection sensor 3, and the feedback member feeds back a signal to the user.

[0032] From the above description, it can be seen that the combined use of the control circuit board, the detection sensor 3 and the feedback member of the in-place detection device enables the user to receive a clear signal through the feedback member after the battery 2 is installed in place, thereby enhancing the user experience and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the installation of the battery 2.

[0033] Furthermore, the in-position detection device also includes a push piece 31, a contact member 32, a reset spring 33 and a limiter 34. The push piece 31 can be slidably mounted on the housing 1 and is used to contact the trigger member 21. The contact member 32 is mounted on the push piece 31 and is arranged opposite to the detection sensor 3. The limiter 34 is mounted on the housing 1 and is used to limit the sliding stroke of the push piece 31. The reset spring 33 is mounted on the push piece 31 and is connected to the housing 1.

[0034] From the above description, it can be seen that the design of the push piece 31, the contact member 32, the return spring 33 and the limit member 34 increases the stability and responsiveness of the in-place detection device. The sliding installation of the push piece 31 allows the trigger member 21 to contact it, while the return spring 33 ensures that the push piece 31 can return to the initial position, and the limit member 34 limits the travel of the push piece 31 to prevent excessive movement.

[0035] Furthermore, the housing 1 is also provided with a mounting groove 14, and the push piece 31 can be slidably mounted in the mounting groove 14.

[0036] From the above description, it can be seen that the design of the mounting groove 14 provides a fixed sliding path for the push piece 31, ensuring the stability and guidance of the push piece 31 during the installation and removal of the battery 2.

[0037] Furthermore, a sliding guide rail 141 is provided in the installation groove 14, and a sliding guide groove 311 that is slidably matched with the sliding guide rail 141 is provided on the push piece 31.

[0038] As described above, the combined use of the sliding guide rail 141 and the sliding guide groove 311 further improves the sliding stability and accuracy of the pushing piece 31 in the installation groove 14, and reduces the friction and wear when the pushing piece 31 moves.

[0039] Furthermore, the pushing piece 31 is provided with a limiting groove 312 extending along its sliding direction, and the limiting member 34 is slidably installed in the limiting groove 312.

[0040] As described above, the arrangement of the limiting groove 312 and the limiting member 34 provides additional positioning and limitation for the pushing piece 31, ensuring that the pushing piece 31 does not deviate from the predetermined path during the sliding process, and enhancing the structural stability.

[0041] Furthermore, the number of the return springs 33 is two, and the contact member is located between the two return springs 33.

[0042] As described above, the use of the two return springs 33 provides more balanced elastic force to ensure that the pushing piece 31 can be stably reset. The design that the contact member is located between the return springs 33 may help to distribute the force more evenly and improve the durability of the structure.

[0043] Furthermore, the feedback member is an indicator light, a buzzer or a vibration motor.

[0044] As described above, by setting the feedback member as an indicator light, a buzzer or a vibration motor, multiple ways of feedback signals are provided to adapt to the needs and usage environments of different users, and the intuitiveness and practicality of the feedback are enhanced.

[0045] Furthermore, the buckles 22 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the battery 2.

[0046] As described above, the design of the buckles 22 on both sides of the battery 2 provides a better fixing effect, increases the connection stability between the battery 2 and the housing 1, and reduces the potential risks caused by the loosening of the battery 2.

[0047] Furthermore, the positioning members 23 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the battery 2.

[0048] As described above, the design of the positioning members 23 on both sides of the battery 2 ensures the correct positioning of the battery 2 in the insertion slot 11, prevents the misinsertion or misalignment of the battery 2, and further improves the accuracy and reliability of the battery 2 installation.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3, Embodiment 1 of the present utility model is: a drone battery installation structure, including a housing 1 and a battery 2. The housing 1 is provided with a plug-in slot 11 and a position detection device. The battery 2 is provided with a buckle 22, a positioning member 23 and a trigger member 21. The plug-in slot 11 is provided with a positioning groove 13 and a fastening portion 12. When the battery 2 is inserted into the plug-in slot 11, the positioning member 23 is inserted into the positioning groove 13, the buckle 22 is clamped to the fastening portion 12, and the trigger member 21 abuts against the position detection device and triggers the position detection device; through the cooperation of the plug-in slot 11 on the housing 1 with the buckle 22, the positioning member 23 and the trigger member 21 on the battery 2, the accurate guiding and positioning of the battery 2 during the insertion process are ensured. At the same time, the clamping function of the buckle 22 provides mechanical locking after the battery 2 is installed, enhancing the stability and firmness of the connection. The interaction between the trigger member 21 and the position detection device intelligently confirms whether the battery 2 is correctly installed in place, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of battery 2 replacement. This design simplifies the operation process, improves the user experience, and enhances the safety of battery 2 installation through clear position detection feedback. In addition, the design of this structure takes into account different usage environments and operating habits, demonstrating good adaptability and compatibility, which helps to promote the standardization of the drone battery installation structure and ensure the reliable installation of the battery 2 in harsh environments.

It is easy to understand that the design of the push piece 31, the contact piece 32, the return spring 33 and the limiting member 34 increases the stability and responsiveness of the in-place detection device. The sliding installation of the push piece 31 allows the trigger member 21 to contact it, and the return spring 33 ensures that the push piece 31 can return to the initial position. The limiting member 34 limits the stroke of the push piece 31 to prevent excessive movement. More specifically, the housing 1 is further provided with an installation groove 14, and the push piece 31 is slidably installed in the installation groove 14. The design of the installation groove 14 provides a fixed sliding path for the push piece 31, ensuring the stability and guiding property of the push piece 31 during the installation and disassembly of the battery 2. In detail, a sliding guide rail 141 is provided in the installation groove 14, and a sliding guide groove 311 that slidably cooperates with the sliding guide rail 141 is provided on the push piece 31. The combined use of the sliding guide rail 141 and the sliding guide groove 311 further improves the sliding stability and precision of the push piece 31 in the installation groove 14, reducing the friction and wear when the push piece 31 moves. More detailedly, a limiting groove 312 extending along the sliding direction of the push piece 31 is provided on the push piece 31, and the limiting member 34 is slidably installed in the limiting groove 312. The setting of the limiting groove 312 and the limiting member 34 provides additional positioning and limitation for the push piece 31, ensuring that the push piece 31 will not deviate from the predetermined path during the sliding process and enhancing the stability of the structure.

[0051] In this embodiment, the number of the return springs 33 is two, and the contact member is located between the two return springs 33. The use of two return springs 33 provides more balanced elastic force to ensure that the push piece 31 can be stably reset. The design that the contact member is located between the return springs 33 may help to distribute the force more evenly and improve the durability of the structure. Further, the buckles 22 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the battery 2. In this way, a better fixing effect is provided, the stability of the connection between the battery 2 and the housing 1 is increased, and the potential risks caused by the looseness of the battery 2 are reduced. The positioning members 23 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the battery 2. In this way, the correct positioning of the battery 2 in the insertion slot 11 is ensured, the misinsertion or misalignment of the battery 2 is prevented, and the accuracy and reliability of the installation of the battery 2 are further improved.

[0052] Optionally, the feedback member is an indicator light, a buzzer or a vibration motor.
