Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery mounting, and in particular to a battery mounting structure and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with convenient battery removal. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, drone technology has been greatly improved in recent years, and many intelligent and multifunctional unmanned aerial vehicles have emerged. Drones can realize real-time image transmission and high-risk area detection functions by carrying various types of sensors. At present, they are widely used in industries, specifically in aerial photography, surveying and mapping, plant protection, detection, disaster relief, etc.

[0003] When drones are performing these tasks, users have certain requirements for the battery life, ease of disassembly and assembly, and shock-absorbing effect of the drone batteries. Currently, drone batteries on the market have good battery life, but there is a balance between the convenience of battery disassembly and assembly and the shock-absorbing ability. Most of the existing drone battery disassembly and assembly methods are shrapnel-type, but there is a certain gap between the battery and the drone in this type of method. When the drone is started, the motor rotates, causing the entire drone to vibrate. Once the battery and the drone cannot reach the same vibration frequency, it is easy to cause the battery and the drone to be disconnected, or even damage the drone. In order to make the battery and the drone as close to the same vibration frequency as possible during use, some methods reduce the gap between the battery and the drone. However, this installation method often has the problems of complex installation and inconvenient disassembly, affecting the use efficiency and maintenance convenience of the drone.

[0004] Therefore, it is particularly important to design a battery mounting structure that is simple in structure, easy to operate, and can be quickly installed and disassembled. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a battery mounting structure, which can simplify the installation and removal process of the battery, is more convenient to use, and the connection between the battery and the battery mounting assembly is tight and not prone to shaking.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A battery mounting structure comprises two parallel guide rails, characterized in that a power supply connector or a power supply slot is fixedly provided on one side of the guide rail, a protrusion or a slot is provided on or around the guide rail, and the battery to be mounted is provided with a mounting portion, a power supply slot or a power supply connector and a transverse telescopic mechanism. The mounting portion can move forward on the guide rail to an installation position. At this time, the mounting portion is mounted on the guide rail, the power supply connector is electrically connected to the power supply slot or the power supply slot is electrically connected to the power supply connector, and the transverse telescopic mechanism extends laterally and combines with the protrusion or the slot to lock the battery in the installation position. When the transverse telescopic mechanism is retracted under force, the battery can move in the opposite direction to unload.

[0008] Preferably, the two guide rails are grooves, the mounting portion is a convex edge, the convex edge can be located in the groove and slide and mount in the groove; or the guide rail is a convex edge, the mounting portion is a groove, the convex edge is located in the groove and the groove slides and mounts along the convex edge.

[0009] Preferably, when a slot is provided on the guide rail, the transverse telescopic mechanism is a convex portion that can be extended laterally, and when the battery is in the installation position, the convex portion can be embedded in the slot.

[0010] Preferably, the two guide rails are grooves, and a perforation is provided at the bottom of the groove to form the card slot. When the protrusion is extended, the battery is locked in the installation position, and when the protrusion is retracted, the lock is released.

[0011] Preferably, the protrusion is an elastic protrusion, which locks the battery in the installation position when the elastic protrusion is extended and is unlocked when the elastic protrusion is retracted; or the protrusion is an elastic ear plate with the protruding edge vertically divided from the two side walls of the battery shell, the top and two sides of the elastic ear plate are separated from the battery shell and the bottom is connected to the battery shell, the elastic ear plates on both sides protrude from the side walls of the battery shell in a natural state, thereby locking the battery in the installation position, and when the elastic ear plate is subjected to force, it shrinks to a position basically flush with the battery shell and is unlocked.

[0012] Preferably, a protrusion or a slot is fixed around the guide rail, and the lateral telescopic mechanism is a slot or a protrusion extending laterally on the side wall of the battery. When the battery is in the installation position, the protrusion extending laterally on the side wall of the battery is combined with the slot fixed around the guide rail and is clamped by the slot; or the protrusion fixed around the guide rail is combined with the slot extending laterally on the side wall of the battery and is clamped by the slot.

[0013] Preferably, the protrusions or slots fixed around the guide rail are fixedly connected to the guide rail via a connecting plate.

[0014] Preferably, the power connection or power slot fixed on one side of the guide rail is fixedly connected between the two parallel guide rails through a mounting plate, and the guide rail is perpendicular to the mounting plate.

[0015] Preferably, when the guide rail is a groove, a notch is further provided on the groove, and a perforation is provided at the bottom of the groove to form the notch.

[0016] In the above technical solution, by providing a guide rail and a mounting portion, the mounting portion can move the battery forward on the guide rail to the installation position, and the guide rail and the mounting portion are tightly connected so that the battery is tightly connected to the battery mounting structure, and no gap is generated between the battery and the battery mounting structure, that is, the battery will not move in the left and right and up and down directions. A protrusion or a slot is provided on or around the guide rail for combining with the battery's transverse telescopic mechanism to facilitate locking the battery in the installation position and fixing the battery in the front and back directions; when the transverse telescopic mechanism is retracted under force, the battery can move in the opposite direction to be unloaded, achieving rapid disassembly. When the battery is locked, the power connector or power slot is directly electrically connected to the power supply slot or power connector, which is simple and convenient.

[0017] Furthermore, the two guide rails can be designed as grooves, with the mounting portion being a ridge that can be positioned within the grooves and slid and mounted within them; or the guide rails can be ridges, with the mounting portion being grooves, with the ridges positioned within the grooves and slid and mounted along the ridges.

The transverse telescopic mechanism can take the form of elastic protrusions or elastic lugs, aligned with the ridges on either side of the battery housing. When extended, the elastic protrusions lock the battery in the installed position, and when retracted, the latching slots release the lock. The elastic lugs are vertically segmented, with ridges, on either side of the battery housing. In their natural state, they protrude from the sidewalls to lock the battery in place. When subjected to force, they retract to be flush with the housing to release the lock. Furthermore, notches are provided in the groove to reduce the weight of the battery mounting structure. Furthermore, since the battery mounting structure is manufactured using 3D printing technology, the notches ensure greater precision relative to the ridges, allowing the ridges to slide more smoothly along the grooves.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the battery mounting structure includes two flat guide rails, with a power connector 11 or a power slot fixed on one side of the guide rail. The power connector 11 or the power slot is fixed between the two parallel guide rails through a mounting plate 12, and the guide rail is perpendicular to the mounting plate 12. The battery 13 to be mounted includes a mounting portion and a power slot or a power connector (not shown in the figure). When the mounting portion is in the installation position, the power connector 11 is electrically connected to the power slot or the power slot is electrically connected to the power connector. The mounting portion enables the battery to move forward on the guide rail to the installation position, and the guide rail is tightly connected to the mounting portion so that the battery 13 is tightly connected to the battery mounting structure. No gap will be generated between the battery 13 and the battery mounting structure, that is, the battery 13 will not move in the left and right and up and down directions. A protrusion 21 or a slot 16 is provided on the guide rail, and the mounted battery 13 is also provided with a transverse telescopic mechanism, which is convenient for locking the battery 13 in the installation position and fixing the battery 13 in the front and rear directions; when the transverse telescopic mechanism is extended laterally and combined with the protrusion 21 or the slot 16 to lock the battery 13 in the installation position, the power supply connector 11 or the power supply slot is directly electrically connected to the power supply slot or the power supply connector, which is simple and convenient; when the transverse telescopic mechanism is retracted under force, the battery 13 can be moved in the reverse direction to be unloaded, thereby realizing quick disassembly.

[0032] In this embodiment, a charging portion 131 is provided on the side of the battery 13 to be mounted, away from the power supply slot or connector, to facilitate charging. The two guide rails are grooves 14, and the mounting portion is a ridge 15, which can be positioned within the grooves 14 and slide and mount within the grooves 14; or the guide rails are ridges 15, and the mounting portion is a groove 14, with the ridge 15 positioned within the grooves 14 and the groove 14 sliding along the ridges 15 for mounting.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, a slot 16 is provided on the guide rail, and both guide rails are grooves 14. In this case, the lateral extension mechanism is a laterally retractable protrusion. When the battery 13 is in the installation position, the protrusion can be inserted into the slot 16, allowing the battery 13 to be stably mounted on the guide rail. When the protrusion retracts, the lock is released, facilitating sliding installation and removal. This also prevents the battery 13 from being disconnected from the battery mounting structure after connection is completed, thereby preventing a gap from forming between the battery 13 and the battery mounting structure, which could cause the battery 13 to become disconnected from the drone or even damage the drone. Furthermore, the slot 16 is a perforated hole located at the bottom of the groove 14, which is simple and not easily damaged, while facilitating the insertion and removal of the protrusion.

[0034] In this embodiment, if Figure 4As shown, the convex portion is an elastic protrusion 17, which is in the same straight line as the convex edges 15 on both sides of the battery shell, and the elastic protrusion 17 is linked with the locking block 171 arranged on the side wall of the battery. When the external force clamps the locking block 171 to shrink, the elastic protrusion 17 shrinks synchronously with the locking block 171, and then the external force continues to clamp the battery to move to the installation position. When the battery moves to the installation position, the external force is withdrawn from both ends of the battery, and the locking block 171 extends to drive the elastic protrusion 17 to extend, locking the battery 13 in this position. When the battery 13 needs to be replaced, the external force clamps the locking block 171 to shrink, and the elastic protrusion 17 shrinks following the locking block 171. When the elastic protrusion 17 retracts, the lock is released and the battery 13 is removed by sliding to the side away from the installation position through external force. Alternatively, the protrusion is an elastic ear plate 18 with a protruding edge 15 vertically divided from the two side walls of the battery shell. The top and two sides of the elastic ear plate 18 are separated from the battery shell, while the bottom is connected to the battery shell. The elastic ear plates 18 on both sides protrude from the side walls of the battery shell in a natural state, thereby locking the battery 13 in the installation position. When the elastic ear plates 18 are subjected to force, they shrink to a position basically flush with the battery shell and are unlocked.

[0035] Furthermore, a notch 19 is provided on the groove 14 to reduce the weight of the battery mounting structure. Since the battery mounting structure is made by 3D printing technology, the provision of the notch 19 can ensure that the groove 14 has a higher precision relative to one side of the protruding edge 15, so that the protruding edge 15 can slide more smoothly along the groove 14.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a protrusion 21 or a slot 16 is fixedly provided around the guide rail, and the protrusion 21 or the slot 16 is fixedly connected to the guide rail through a connecting plate 20. The lateral telescopic mechanism is a slot 16 or a protrusion 21 extending laterally on the side wall of the battery. When the battery is in the installation position, the protrusion 21 extending laterally on the side wall of the battery is combined with the slot 16 fixed around the guide rail and is clamped by the slot 16; or the protrusion 21 fixed around the guide rail is combined with the slot 16 extending laterally on the side wall of the battery and is clamped by the slot 16. Taking the lateral telescopic mechanism as a protrusion 21 extending laterally on the side wall of the battery as an example, a card slot 16 is provided on the connecting plate 20, and a locking block 171 linked to the protrusion 21 is provided on the side wall of the battery. When the external force clamps the locking block 171 to retract, the protrusion 21 follows the locking block 171 to retract synchronously, and then the external force continues to clamp the battery to move to the installation position. When the battery moves to the installation position, the external force is withdrawn from both ends of the battery, and the locking block 171 extends to drive the protrusion 21 to extend, locking the battery 13 in this position. When the battery 13 needs to be replaced, the external force clamps the locking block 171 to retract, and the protrusion 21 follows the locking block 171 to retract. When the protrusion 21 retracts, the lock is released and slides to the side away from the installation position by external force to remove the battery 13.

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, the present invention also provides a drone with easily removable batteries, comprising a drone body 22 and a battery mounting mechanism 23. The battery mounting mechanism 23 is fixedly connected to the center of the drone body 22 to ensure that the drone body 22 does not tilt or even shake due to the weight of the battery during use, thereby increasing the stability of the drone's flight. Preferably, the battery mounting mechanism 23 can be integrally formed with the drone body 22 to improve the stability and reliability of the overall structure.

[0038] This embodiment is only an illustration of the concept and implementation of the utility model, and does not limit it. Under the concept of the utility model, technical solutions that have not been substantially changed are still within the scope of protection.
