[0024] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0026] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.
[0027] Example 1, with reference to Figures 1 to 3, is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a storage mechanism, including a carrying shell 100; and a support assembly 200, including a cross frame 201 arranged at the bottom of the carrying shell 100, a sleeve 202 arranged at the bottom of the cross frame 201, and a support leg 203 arranged on the inner wall of the sleeve 202. When the low-altitude aircraft lands, the support leg 203 contacts the ground and is subjected to the reaction force of the ground; and a battery compartment assembly 300, including a storage compartment 301 arranged on the side of the carrying shell 100, a sleeve 202 arranged at the bottom of the cross frame 201, and a support leg 203 arranged on the inner wall of the sleeve 202. The friction plate 304 is placed on the inner wall of the storage compartment 301, the support plate 302 is arranged at the bottom of the storage compartment 301, and the counterweight block 303 is arranged on the top of the support plate 302. The battery is stored in the storage compartment 301. The battery compartment assembly 300 protects the battery when the low-altitude aircraft is flying. When the low-altitude aircraft lands, the support assembly 200 will transfer the reaction force from the ground to the counterweight block 303. The counterweight block 303 is used to open the battery compartment assembly 300, allowing the operator to quickly remove the battery and save time.
[0028] Usage process: The battery compartment assembly 300 protects the battery when the low-altitude aircraft is flying. When the low-altitude aircraft lands, the support leg 203 contacts the ground and will be subjected to the reaction force of the ground. The support assembly 200 will transfer the reaction force from the ground to the counterweight block 303, and use the counterweight block 303 to open the battery compartment assembly 300, so that the operator can quickly remove the battery and save time. At the same time, part of the impulse applied by the ground to the aircraft is converted into the energy required to open the battery compartment assembly 300, thereby enhancing the buffering effect and better protecting the aircraft.
[0029] Example 2, reference Figures 1 to 5 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention. Different from the previous embodiment, the outer wall of the support leg 203 is provided with a slide 205, the outer wall of the sleeve 202 is provided with a slide groove 206, and the inner wall of the slide groove 206 is provided with a connecting rod 207. The connecting rod 207 can slide in the slide groove 206. One end of the connecting rod 207 is connected to the slide 205. The slide 205 plays a sealing and blocking role between the sleeve 202 and the outside world to prevent the parts in the sleeve 202 from being contaminated. The end of the connecting rod 207 away from the slide 205 is provided with a central disk 208, and the top of the central disk 208 is provided with a top column 2 09. A gasket 204 is provided on the top of the support leg 203. The top of the gasket 204 is connected to the cross frame 201. The axis of the top column 209 and the center of mass of the support plate 302 are located on the same plumb line. The top of the top column 209 is connected to the bottom of the support plate 302. When the low-altitude aircraft lands, the speed of the low-altitude aircraft becomes zero when the support leg 203 touches the ground. At this time, the low-altitude aircraft receives the impact force of the ground, and the support leg 203 will move upward, driving the slide 205 and the connecting rod 207 to move upward, and then driving the central disk 208 to move upward, and finally driving the support plate 302 to move upward.
[0030] Furthermore, the top of the counterweight 303 is provided with an arc surface 305, the side of the arc surface 305 is provided with a rope 306, the side of the rope 306 is provided with a first guide wheel 307, the side of the first guide wheel 307 is provided with a first rotating frame 308, the first guide wheel 307 guides the rope 306 to extend upward, the top of the first rotating frame 308 is provided with a second rotating frame 309, the side of the second rotating frame 309 is provided with a second guide wheel 310, the rope 306 is provided with a first guide wheel 310, and the rope 306 is provided with a first guide wheel 310. A clamping column 311 is provided at one end above the second guide wheel 310. The top busbar of the second guide wheel 310 and the axis of the clamping column 311 are on the same horizontal line. When the low-altitude aircraft lands, the impact force of the ground drives the support plate 302 to move upward, and the support plate 302 will drive the counterweight block 303 to move upward. The counterweight block 303 will move upward with the bottom end of the winch rope 306, and then the end of the winch rope 306 connected to the clamping column 311 will move toward the second turntable 309.
[0031] Furthermore, a slide 312 is provided on the side of the clamping column 311, a second elastic member 314 is provided on the side of the slide 312, a slide rod 313 is provided inside the second elastic member 314, and a groove with the same outer diameter as the slide rod 313 is provided on the slide 312. The slide 312 can slide along the direction of the slide rod 313 together with the clamping column 311. When the end of the rope 306 connected to the clamping column 311 moves toward the direction of the second rotating frame 309, it will drive the clamping column 311 to slide together.
[0032] Furthermore, a compartment cover component 315 is provided on the side of the slide 312, and the compartment cover component 315 includes a flip cover 315a provided on the top of the accommodating compartment 301, and a locking block 315b is provided at the bottom of the flip cover 315a. A groove for the sliding of the card column 311 is provided on the side of the locking block 315b. When the card column 311 is in the groove on the side of the locking block 315b, the flip cover 315a is locked, which protects the battery in the accommodating compartment 301.
[0033] Usage process: During the normal flight of the low-altitude aircraft, the flip cover 315a is covered above the accommodating chamber 301, and the locking block 315b is locked by the clamping column 311 and cannot be opened, which protects the battery. When the low-altitude aircraft lands, the speed of the low-altitude aircraft becomes zero when the support leg 203 touches the ground. At this time, the low-altitude aircraft receives the impact force of the ground, and the support leg 203 will move upward, driving the slide 205 and the connecting rod 207 to move upward, and then driving the central disk 208 to move upward, and finally driving the support plate 302 to move upward, and the support plate 302 will drive As the counterweight 303 moves upward, the counterweight 303 will move upward with the winch 306 at the bottom, so that the end of the winch 306 connected to the clamping column 311 will move toward the second rotating frame 309, driving the clamping column 311 to slide together and disengage from the groove on the side of the locking block 315b. At this time, the flip cover 315a is unlocked, and the operator can easily open the flip cover 315a, take out the battery, and replace the battery, saving time. In addition, the impact force of the ground on the low-altitude aircraft to move the counterweight 303 can reduce the impact on the battery during landing and better protect the battery.
[0034] Example 3, reference Figures 1 to 5 This is the third embodiment of the present utility model. Different from the previous embodiment, an arc-shaped plate 315c is provided on the top of the flip cover 315a, and a torsion spring 315d is provided at the connection between the flip cover 315a and the accommodating chamber 301. When the low-altitude aircraft lands and the flip cover is unlocked, the arc-shaped plate 315c can facilitate the staff to open the flip cover 315a. When the battery replacement is completed, the flip cover 315a is lowered, and the torsion spring 315d will automatically return the flip cover 315a to its original position.
[0035] Usage process: When the battery replacement is completed, the flip cover 315a returns to the top of the accommodating chamber 301 under the action of the torsion spring 315d. Since the friction plate 304 is provided on the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 301, the counterweight block 303 will slowly move downward relative to the low-altitude aircraft. At this time, the rope 306 is loosened, so the second elastic member 314 will slide the slide 312 and the clamping column 311 toward the locking block 315b until the clamping column 311 extends into the locking block 315b, locking the flip cover 315a and continuing to protect the battery during the flight of the low-altitude aircraft.
[0036] Example 4, with reference to Figures 1 to 5 , which is the fourth embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, but differs in that it provides a low-altitude aircraft, including a storage mechanism, a flight control system 400, a motor 500 and a propeller 600.
[0037] The flight control system 400 receives ground remote control signals and controls the flight, and the motor 500 provides power to the propeller 600 to drive the low-altitude aircraft to fly.
