Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of auxiliary power pods, and particularly relates to a battery installation module for a power pod. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, the functions and application scenarios of UAVs are becoming more and more extensive. With the improvement of UAV functions, UAVs need to carry more power-consuming devices, resulting in a significant increase in the power supply demand of UAVs.

[0003] There are various types of UAV power sources. For long-endurance UAVs, a fuel engine is generally used to provide flight power, and a small battery is carried on the UAV, but its power supply is limited. Although the fuel engine can also charge the battery, the conversion efficiency is low, which will also affect the endurance of the UAV. In order to provide sufficient power to the UAV without significantly affecting its endurance, an aviation auxiliary power pod can be mounted at the bottom of the UAV, and the pod uses a micro-generator to generate electricity to charge the battery.

[0004] The start of the micro-generator of the air auxiliary power pod requires power supply from a small battery. Generally, the built-in battery power supply of the UAV can be led out to supply power for the start of the micro-generator, or a small battery can be placed in the pod, usually near the micro-generator.

[0005] In order to improve the power supply capacity of the pod, an auxiliary battery with a slightly larger capacity can also be placed in the pod to supplement the built-in battery of the UAV. However, when an auxiliary battery is provided, it is necessary to consider the installation space of the auxiliary battery, battery heat dissipation, the installation of the controller module around the battery, and also consider the light weight and installation firmness of the entire installation structure. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a battery installation module for a power pod, aiming to solve the above technical problems.

[0007] The present utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] The battery installation module for a power pod includes a housing. The housing internally has a battery box, a power supply management module, and a start control module.

[0018] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the following further describes the present utility model in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0019] To illustrate the technical solution of the present utility model, the following will be described through specific embodiments.

[0020] As Figures 1-3 shown, the battery installation module for a power pod provided in this embodiment includes a housing 1. The housing 1 is internally provided with a battery box 2, a power supply management module 3, and a start control module 4. There is an auxiliary battery in the battery box. The housing 1 includes front and rear square frames 11, and a chassis 5 with a frame structure is fixed between the bottoms of the front and rear square frames 11. There is a battery rack 6 and a module rack 7 on the chassis 5. The battery rack 6 includes a side plate 61 fixed to one side of the chassis and two vertical frames 62 fixed to the other side of the chassis. The battery box 3 is installed between the side plate 61 and the vertical frames 62. The module rack 7 includes a height plate 71 located at the top of the chassis. On both sides of the top of the height plate 71, brackets 72 are fixed outward and obliquely upward. The power supply management module 3 is fixed to the height plate 71, and the start control module 4 is fixed between the tops of the two brackets 72.

[0021] In this embodiment, the battery installation module is of a frame structure as a whole. The bottoms of the front and rear square frames are connected and integrated through the chassis. The chassis serves both as a support platform for internal components and as a connecting component of the overall frame, which can reduce the weight without reducing the overall firmness. The tops of the front and rear square frames 11 are connected and integrated through a fixing rod 13. Therefore, the overall frame structure of the battery installation module is light in weight but firm in structure. In the figure, there are 7-shaped blocks 12 at the bottoms of the front and rear square frames 11. The 7-shaped blocks 12 are locked with the chassis 5 by bolts, which is convenient for the disassembly and assembly of the chassis.

[0022] In this structure, the volume of the battery box is moderate, and there is an auxiliary battery inside. The capacity of the auxiliary battery is relatively large. Since the auxiliary battery is heavy, it needs to be fixed firmly, and lightweight design also needs to be considered. Cables need to be reserved on one side of the battery box, so the battery box needs to be installed in a biased manner. In this embodiment, the battery box is installed through the battery rack. Due to the need for biased installation, the fixing method of the side plate and the vertical frame is adopted in this embodiment.

[0023] The side plate 61 includes a Z-shaped strip 611. On one side of the Z-shaped strip 611, a mouth-shaped plate 612 is integrally formed upward. There is a rib plate 613 on the back of the mouth-shaped plate 612. The battery box 2 is locked with the mouth-shaped plate 612 and the two vertical frames 62 by screws. One end of the bottom of the battery box is supported on the Z-shaped strip, which plays a supporting role. At the same time, the mouth-shaped plate fixes the end face of the battery box by screws. At the same time, the other end of the battery box is locked to the vertical frame by screws. The overall structure is simple and fixed firmly.

[0024] The power supply management module 3 is installed on the height board 71. The height board 71 has a certain height. The middle part is a grid board 711, and the two sides are back-to-back C-shaped strips 712. The grid board is light in weight and raises the power supply management module to a certain height to avoid contact with the bottom of the casing. In order to make full use of the holes, the start control module 4 and the power supply management module 3 are installed in the upper and lower positions. Since the width of the start control module 4 is greater than that of the power supply management module 3, brackets 72 need to be obliquely upwardly arranged at both ends of the height board 71. The bottom of the bracket 72 is a strip board 721, the middle part is an inclined board 722, and the top is a narrow strip 723. There are wing strips on both sides of the start control module 4, and the wing strips are locked to the narrow strip 723 through pads 41. The pads are rubber strips, which can ensure that the locking does not fall off. The whole bracket is also of a frame structure, light in weight, and there is an arc-shaped board on the inner side, which can strengthen the firmness. The side fixing method of the start control module is simpler and more stable than the bottom fixing operation.

[0025] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
