[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the present application belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0033] In order to realize the replacement of the fixed-wing UAV battery in a power-off scenario, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 4 shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application provides a clamping device 1 for clamping the UAV battery 2. The clamping device 1 includes: a base 10, a first clamping jaw 20, a second clamping jaw 30, and a sliding assembly 40. The first clamping jaw 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the base 10, and the second clamping jaw 30 is slidably connected to the other end of the base 10 through the sliding assembly 40; the first clamping jaw 20 and the second clamping jaw 30 can approach or move away from each other; load-bearing structures 201 are respectively provided at both ends of the battery 2, and the first clamping jaw 20 and the second clamping jaw 30 can be inserted into the load-bearing structures 201 to clamp the battery 2.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, when using the clamping device 1 to clamp the battery 2, first insert the first jaw 20 into the bearing structure 201 at one end of the battery 2, and then push the second jaw 30 to approach the first jaw 20 along the first direction X and insert it into the bearing structure 201 at the other end of the battery 2, so as to realize the grasping of the battery 2 by the first jaw 20 and the second jaw 30. Since there is no need to set up an electric driving device and a control device, when the drone hangar is powered off or in a powerless scenario in the wild, the battery 2 can be directly clamped by the clamping device 1 to realize manual replacement and handling of the drone battery 2.

[0035] If it is necessary to remove the battery from the clamping device 1, move the second jaw 30 in the direction away from the first jaw 20, so that the first jaw 20 and the second jaw 30 are disengaged from the bearing structure 201 of the battery 2, thereby removing the battery 2.

[0036] It should be noted that when clamping the battery 2, the first jaw 20 and the second jaw 30 can also be manually inserted into the bearing structures 201 at both ends of the battery 2 at the same time.

[0037] It should be noted that fixed-wing UAV batteries are generally heavy and large in size. For example, some UAV batteries weigh 5-7 kg and are about 30 cm in size. As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the battery 2 generally includes a bearing structure 201, a buckle structure 202, and a housing 203. The bearing structure 201 refers to the structure through which the operator's hand or the removal device bears the weight of the battery 2 when the battery 2 is taken out. The bearing structure 201 is generally a deep hole on the battery housing 203, and the bearing structure 201 is generally provided on opposite sides of the battery 2. The first jaw 20 and the second jaw 30 can be inserted into the deep hole. The deep hole on the battery housing 203 can not only play a bearing role, but also play a clamping guiding role for the first jaw 20 and the second jaw 30. The buckle structure 202 plays a role in loosening and fastening the battery 2 from the battery compartment or the UAV fuselage. These two structures are generally independently designed on the battery 2. In the prior art, when replacing the UAV battery, first press the buckle structure of the UAV battery to separate the battery from the UAV body or the battery compartment, and then grasp the bearing structure of the battery. This process requires a lot of manpower and the replacement efficiency is very low. The clamping device 1 provided by the embodiment of the present application can, in a powerless scenario, insert the first jaw 20 and the second jaw 30 into the bearing structure 201, and the first jaw 20 and the second jaw 30 can press the buckle structure 202 during the process of inserting into the bearing structure 201, so that the first jaw 20 and the second jaw 30 can complete the actions of pressing the buckle structure 202 and inserting into the bearing structure 201 in a short time, and then realize the clamping of the battery 2.

[0038] Among them, the sliding component 40 can be a slide rail and slider mechanism. For example, the slide rail is arranged on the base 10 along the first direction X, the slider is connected to the second jaw 30, and the second jaw 30 moves along the slide rail through the slider; the sliding component 40 can also be a sliding groove and convex structure. For example, a sliding groove (not shown in the figure) is formed by the inward depression of the lower surface of the base 10, and there is no need to separately arrange a slide rail. A convex structure (not shown in the figure) is provided at the top of the second jaw 30, and the second jaw 30 moves along the first direction X in the sliding groove through the convex structure.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the first jaw 20 includes a first jaw arm 21 and a first load-bearing plunger 22; the first jaw arm 21 is perpendicular to the base 10, and one end of the first jaw arm 21 is connected to the base 10, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first load-bearing plunger 22, and the first load-bearing plunger 22 can be inserted into the load-bearing structure 201 of the battery 2; the second jaw 30 includes a second jaw arm 31 and a second load-bearing plunger 32; the second jaw arm 31 is perpendicular to the base 10, and one end of the second jaw arm 31 is slidably connected to the base 10 through the sliding component 40, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second load-bearing plunger 32, and the second load-bearing plunger 32 can be inserted into the load-bearing structure 201 of the battery 2.

[0040] In the embodiments of the present application, the first load-bearing plunger 22 and the second load-bearing plunger 32 are inserted into the load-bearing structure 201 on the outer shell of the UAV battery 2, directly contact the UAV battery 2, and bear the gravity of the UAV battery 2. The first jaw arm 21 plays a role in connecting the first load-bearing plunger 22 and the base 10, the second jaw arm 31 plays a role in connecting the second load-bearing plunger 32 and the base 10, and the second jaw arm 31 in the second jaw 30 is slidably connected to the base 10 through the sliding component 40, thereby driving the second load-bearing plunger 32 in the second jaw 30 to move along the first direction X, so as to realize the clamping or releasing of the battery 2.

[0041] When the battery 2 includes a buckle structure 202, during the process of inserting the first load-bearing plunger 22 and the second load-bearing plunger 32 into the load-bearing structure 201 on the outer shell of the UAV battery 2, the first jaw arm 21 and the second jaw arm 31 can press the buckle structure 202. That is, the process of operating the first jaw 20 and the third jaw 30 to approach can complete the cooperation between the first load-bearing plunger 22 and the second load-bearing plunger 32 and the load-bearing structure 201 on the outer shell of the UAV battery 2, and the cooperation between the first jaw arm 21 and the second jaw arm 31 and the buckle structure 202. Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the first jaw arm 21 and the second jaw arm 31 can be rectangular plates, and one end of the first jaw arm 21 can be connected to the base 10 by means of bonding or screw connection. The number of the first load-bearing plunger 22 and the second load-bearing plunger 32 can be multiple, and the specific number is determined according to the structure of the UAV battery 2. For example,Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in Figure 2 , the number of the first load-bearing plungers 22 and the second load-bearing plungers 32 is two respectively, which can improve the stability when clamping the battery 2 and prevent the battery 2 from shaking.

[0042] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 , the base 10 includes a bottom plate 12 and an L-shaped connecting plate 13. Multiple through-hole structures 80 with the same or different shapes can be provided on the first clamping arm 21, the second clamping arm 31, the bottom plate 12 and the L-shaped connecting plate 13. For example, the through-hole structure 80 can be triangular, strip-shaped, etc.; the setting of the through-hole structure 80 can reduce the weights of the first clamping arm 21, the second clamping arm 31, the bottom plate 12 and the L-shaped connecting plate 13, and further reduce the weight of the entire clamping device 1, making the clamping device 1 lighter and more labor-saving for the operator to use the clamping device 1 to clamp the battery 2.

[0043] More specifically, as Figure 2 shown, when the battery 2 includes a buckle structure 202, the first clamping jaw 20 and the second clamping jaw 30 respectively include flexible buffer pads 23. The flexible buffer pad 23 on the first clamping jaw 20 is arranged on one side of the first clamping arm 21 close to the second clamping jaw 30; the flexible buffer pad 23 on the second clamping jaw 30 is arranged on one side of the second clamping arm 31 close to the first clamping jaw 20. The position of the flexible buffer pad 23 is opposite to the position of the buckle structure 202 on the battery 2. The flexible buffer pad 23 is used to contact the buckle on the structure of the battery 2. When the first clamping jaw 20 and the second clamping jaw 30 are inserted into the load-bearing structure 201 of the battery 2, the flexible buffer pads 23 on the first clamping jaw 20 and the second clamping jaw 30 respectively press the buckle structures 202 at both ends of the battery 2, and the battery 2 is separated from the unmanned aerial vehicle or the battery compartment by pressing the buckle structure 202. The setting of the flexible buffer pad 23 can make the process of the clamping device 1 pressing the buckle structure 202 of the battery 2 more stable, playing a role in shock absorption and better protecting the structure of the battery 2.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, a plurality of preset mounting holes 211 are provided on the first clamping arm 21. By setting the first load-bearing plunger 22 in different preset mounting holes 211, the mounting position of the first load-bearing plunger 22 on the first clamping arm 21 can be adjusted.

[0045] In the embodiments of the present application, the connection mode between the first load-bearing plunger 22 and the first clamping arm 21 can be a detachable connection. The first load-bearing plunger 22 is installed in a preset installation hole 211 on the first clamping arm 21. The preset installation hole 211 can be set at any position on the first clamping arm 21, and the number of the preset installation holes 211 is multiple. For batteries 2 with different specifications or different structures, the first load-bearing plunger 22 can be installed in the preset installation holes 211 at different positions on the first clamping arm 21.

[0046] Similarly, a plurality of preset installation holes 211 are provided on the second clamping arm 31. By setting the second load-bearing plunger 32 in different preset installation holes 211, the installation position of the second load-bearing plunger 32 on the second clamping arm 31 can be adjusted.

[0047] In the embodiments of the present application, the connection mode between the second load-bearing plunger 32 and the second clamping arm 31 can be a detachable connection. The second load-bearing plunger 32 is installed in a preset installation hole 211 on the second clamping arm 31. The preset installation hole 211 can be set at any position on the second clamping arm 31, and the number of the preset installation holes 211 is multiple. For batteries 2 with different specifications or different structures, the second load-bearing plunger 32 can be installed in the preset installation holes 211 at different positions on the second clamping arm 31.

[0048] Through the above settings, only by adjusting the positions of the first load-bearing plunger 22 and the second load-bearing plunger 32 can different models or sizes of batteries 2 be correspondingly clamped, which can improve the universality of the clamping device 1.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, the sliding assembly 40 includes a slider 41 and a slide rail 42. The slide rail 42 is slidably connected to the slider 41; the slider 41 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the base 10, the slide rail 42 is fixedly connected to the second jaw 30, and the slide rail 42 can drive the second jaw 30 to slide along the first direction X; or, the slide rail 42 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the base 10, the slider 41 is fixedly connected to the second jaw 30, and the slider 41 can drive the second jaw 30 to slide along the first direction X.

[0050] In the embodiments of the present application, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, the slider 41 is fixedly connected to the base 10. The lower surface of the slider 41 is recessed inward to form a chute (not shown in the figure). The slide rail 42 is partially arranged in the chute. The slide rail 42 is fixedly connected to the second jaw 30. Therefore, when the slide rail 42 moves along the first direction X in the chute of the slider 41, it can drive the second jaw 30 to move along the first direction X. The cooperation between the slide rail 42 and the slider 41 has the advantages of high precision, stability and reliability, and at the same time can reduce friction loss, noise and vibration.

[0051] Among them, the slider 41 can be fixedly connected to the base 10 through the slider connecting plate 411. The slider 41 and the slider connecting plate 411 are connected by screws or bolts; the slider connecting plate 411 and the base 10 can be fixedly connected by bonding, clamping or threaded connection, etc.

[0052] Specifically, as Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, the base 10 includes a bottom plate 12 and an L-shaped connecting plate 13. The L-shaped connecting plate 13 includes a long plate 132 and a short plate 131. The short plate 131 is perpendicular to the bottom plate 12, and one end of the short plate 131 is connected to the end of the bottom plate 12 away from the first jaw 20, and the other end is connected to one end of the long plate 132. The long plate 132 can be parallel to the bottom plate 12, and the slider 41 is connected to the lower surface of the long plate 132. Among them, the bottom plate 12 can be a rectangular plate.

[0053] Specifically, the second jaw 30 is provided at one end of the slide rail 42 away from the first jaw 20, and the slider 41 is provided at one end of the base 10 away from the first jaw 20.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, the clamping device 1 further includes a guiding component 60 and a first connecting member 71. The guiding component 60 includes a guiding member 61 and a guiding mating member 62; the guiding member 61 is arranged along the first direction X. One end of the guiding member 61 is connected to the first jaw 20, and the other end is connected to the end of the base 10 away from the first jaw 20; the guiding mating member 62 is sleeved on the guiding member 61 and is fixedly connected to the second jaw 30 through the first connecting member 71.

[0055] In the embodiments of the present application, as Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, the guiding member 61 is arranged along the first direction X, the guiding mating member 62 is sleeved on the guiding member 61, and the guiding mating member 62 is fixedly connected to the second jaw 30 through the first connecting member 71. The cooperation between the guiding member 61 and the guiding mating member 62 can guide the movement of the second jaw 30 along the first direction X, prevent the second jaw 30 from shifting during the movement, and improve the stability of the second jaw 30 during the movement.

[0056] Specifically, as Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the guiding member 61 can be a guiding shaft. The guiding and cooperating member 62 includes a guiding block 621 and a metal sleeve 622. The guiding block 621 and the metal sleeve 622 can be fixedly connected by screws. The metal sleeve 622 is sleeved on the guiding shaft, and a guiding through hole 623 for cooperating with the guiding shaft is provided on the guiding block 621. Two connecting ends extend outward from the lower end of the guiding block 621, and the two connecting ends are used to connect with the first connecting member 71. The first connecting member 71 can be a rectangular connecting plate; the second clamping arm 31 can be fixedly connected with the first connecting member 71 by means of threaded connection, bonding, clamping or the like.

[0057] When the slider 41 is fixedly connected to the base 10 and the slide rail 42 is fixedly connected to the second jaw 30, the slide rail 42 and the guiding and cooperating member 62 are fixedly connected to the first connecting member 71, and the guiding and cooperating member 62 is arranged at one end of the first connecting member 71 close to the first jaw 20; the number of the slide rails 42 can be multiple. For example, as Figure 2 shown, the number of the slide rails 42 is two, and the guiding block 621 is located between the two slide rails 42.

[0058] When the slide rail 42 is fixedly connected to the base 10 and the slider 41 is fixedly connected to the second jaw 30, the slider 41 and the guiding and cooperating member 62 are fixedly connected to the first connecting member 71, and the slide rail 42 is arranged on the lower surface of the base 10.

[0059] More specifically, the guiding shaft can be a cylinder or a prism, and the guiding through hole 623 correspondingly is a circle or a polygon. For example, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the guiding shaft is a cylinder, and the guiding through hole 623 on the guiding block 621 is a circle. A through hole 624 can also be provided in the lower part of the guiding through hole 623, and the area of the through hole 624 is larger than that of the guiding through hole 623. The arrangement of the through hole 624 makes the guiding block 621 have a hollow structure inside, which can reduce the weight of the guiding block 621, and further reduce the weight of the entire clamping device 1.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the clamping device further includes a limiting component 50, which is used to limit the second jaw 30 after the second jaw 30 is inserted into the bearing structure 201 of the battery 2, so as to prevent the first jaw 20 and / or the second jaw 30 from detaching from the battery 2; the limiting component 50 includes a spring latch 51, and the spring latch 51 is arranged on the base 10. During the process that the guiding and fitting component 62 moves towards the first jaw 20: when the spring latch 51 cooperates with the top surface of the guiding and fitting component 62, the free end of the spring latch 51 retracts; when the guiding and fitting component 62 moves the spring latch 51 to the side close to the first jaw 20, the spring latch 51 is disengaged from the top surface of the guiding and fitting component 62, the free end of the spring latch 51 extends, and abuts against the side surface of the guiding and fitting component 62 away from the first jaw 20.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the limiting component 50 can limit the second jaw 30 after the first jaw 20 and the second jaw 30 clamp the battery 2, preventing the first jaw 20 and / or the second jaw 30 from detaching from the battery 2, improving the reliability of the device and the stability of the battery 2 on the clamping device 1; during the process of pushing the second jaw 30 to move closer to the first jaw 20 along the first direction X, the guiding and fitting component 62 also moves towards the first jaw 20. When the guiding and fitting component 62 contacts the free end 511 of the spring latch 51, due to the movement of the second jaw 30 being pushed, a relative sliding occurs between the guiding and fitting component 62 and the free end 511 of the spring latch 51, and the free end 511 of the spring latch 51 is compressed. When the guiding and fitting component 62 continues to move towards the first jaw 20 and moves to the left side of the spring latch 51, since the free end 511 of the spring latch 51 no longer contacts and is stressed by the top surface of the guiding and fitting component 62, therefore, as Figure 5 shown, the free end 511 of the spring latch 51 extends, and the side surface of the free end 511 abuts against the side of the guiding and fitting component 62, so that the guiding and fitting component 62 cannot move in the direction away from the first jaw 20, thus realizing the limitation of the second jaw 30, enabling the first jaw 20 and the second jaw 30 to firmly clamp the battery 2. When a person holds the handle and lifts the clamping device 1 upward, the battery is separated from the battery compartment or the drone body to realize the operation of replacing the battery.

[0062] When it is necessary to remove the clamped battery 2, pull out the spring latch 51 to make the free end 511 retract, so that the side surface of the free end of the spring latch 51 no longer abuts against the guiding and fitting component 62, thereby enabling the guiding and fitting component 62 to move in the direction away from the first jaw 20 along the guide 61, and further enabling the second jaw 30 to leave the battery 2, realizing the detachment of the first jaw 20 and the second jaw 30 from the battery 2.

[0063] Specifically, as Figure 5 、 Figure 6As shown, the edge of the guiding fitting 62 close to the first jaw 20 and the base 10 is chamfered, and the chamfered surface forms a guiding surface 625 for the free end of the spring latch 51 to slide. By chamfering the edge of the guiding fitting 62, it is possible to prevent jamming between the spring latch 51 and the guiding fitting 62.

[0064] It should be noted that the spring latch 51 is a standard part. The free end of the spring latch 51 is compressed under force, and the free end is released after the force disappears. By pulling the spring latch 51, the free end of the spring latch 51 can be retracted.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 shown, the limiting assembly 50 further includes an adjusting plate 52. The adjusting plate 52 is fixedly connected to the spring latch 51. By adjusting the position of the adjusting plate 52, the position of the spring latch 51 relative to the base 10 can be adjusted.

[0066] In the embodiments of the present application, the sizes of the batteries 2 are different. Therefore, when clamping the battery 2, the distance between the first jaw 20 and the second jaw 30 may be different. By adjusting the position of the spring latch 51 by adjusting the adjusting plate 52, the limiting position of the guiding fitting 62 can be realized, so as to adjust the distance between the second jaw 30 and the first jaw 20 when the second jaw 30 clamps the battery 2, so that the clamping device 1 can clamp more batteries 2 of different sizes and specifications.

[0067] Specifically, the adjusting plate 52 can be connected to the base 10 by means of threaded connection or clamping. When using threaded connection, the adjusting plate 52 is provided with a groove 521, and a screw or bolt passes through the groove 521 and is connected to the base 10.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 7 shown, the base 10 is provided with an adjusting hole 11 along the first direction X. The spring latch 51 passes through the adjusting hole 11. When the free end of the spring latch 51 is in a free state, the side projection of the free end partially coincides with the side projection of the guiding fitting 62.

[0069] In the embodiments of the present application, since the base 10 is provided with an adjusting hole 11 along the first direction X, therefore, only by moving the spring latch 51 in the adjusting hole 11 and then fixing the adjusting plate 52 to the base 10, the position of the spring latch 51 can be adjusted and the spring latch 51 can be fixed at the corresponding position. When the free end of the spring latch 51 is in a free state, the side projection of the free end partially coincides with the side projection of the guiding fitting 62, which can ensure that when the top surface of the guiding limiting member contacts the free end of the spring latch 51, the free end can be smoothly compressed.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, such asFigure 1 As shown, the clamping device 1 further includes a grip 72, and the grip 72 is provided at the top of the base 10.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first jaw 20 and the second jaw 30 fork the battery 2, the operator can move the battery 2 only by lifting the grip 72. The setting of the grip 72 makes it more convenient and labor-saving for the operator to pick up the clamping device 1, and a single operator can complete the operation of grasping the battery.

[0072] Specifically, the grip 72 can be connected to the base 10 by means of clamping, bonding or threaded connection, etc.

[0073] An embodiment of the second aspect of the present application provides a drone hangar, including the clamping device 1 in the above embodiment.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, when the clamping device 1 clamps the battery 2, first insert the first jaw 20 into the load-bearing structure 201 at one end of the battery 2, and then push the second jaw 30 along the first direction X close to the first jaw 20 and insert it into the load-bearing structure 201 at the other end of the battery 2 to realize the grasping of the battery 2 by the first jaw 20 and the second jaw 30. Since there is no need to set up an electric drive device and a control device, when the drone hangar is powered off, the battery 2 can be directly clamped by the clamping device 1 to realize the handling and replacement of the drone battery 2.

[0075] An embodiment of the third aspect of the present application provides a battery 2, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the battery 2 is provided with a load-bearing structure 201, and the load-bearing structure 201 is used to be clamped by the clamping device 1 in the above embodiment.

[0076] In the embodiment of the present application, load-bearing structures 201 are respectively provided at both ends of the battery 2, and the clamping device 1 in the above embodiment inserts into the load-bearing structure 201 to realize the clamping of the battery 2.

[0077] It should be noted that the battery 2 includes a housing 203. The load-bearing structure 201 is generally a deep hole on the battery housing 203, and the load-bearing structure 201 is generally provided on opposite sides of the battery 2. The first jaw 20 and the second jaw 30 can be inserted into the deep hole. In addition, the load-bearing structures on both sides of the battery housing 203 can not only bear the load, but also guide the insertion of the first load-bearing plunger 22 and the second load-bearing plunger 32 of the clamping device, playing a guiding role. It can make the first load-bearing plunger 22 and the second load-bearing plunger 32 cooperate with the battery 2 more precisely, and then clamp the battery 2 more stably.

[0078] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application are all included in the protection scope of the present application.
