DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of this technical solution more clear, the following technical solution is further described in detail in conjunction with specific implementation methods. It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of this technical solution.

[0030] In order to solve the problem that the battery 2 and the drone body 1 are assembled in the prior art with complicated operations and reliability cannot be guaranteed, Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a drone battery that is installed in the battery compartment of the drone body 1. Specifically, the main body of the battery 2 includes a battery cell 212, a left battery frame 213, and a right battery frame 211. The left battery frame 213 and the right battery frame 211 are clamped and installed on the outside of the battery cell 212 from the left and right sides. The main bodies of the left battery frame 213 and the right battery frame 211 are both plate-frame structures, and both the left battery frame 213 and the right battery frame 211 have oppositely positioned lugs. Taking the left battery frame 213 as an example, the left battery frame 213 and the right battery frame 211 each have three lugs on either side of the length direction of the main body, for a total of six lugs. Correspondingly, the right battery frame 211 also has three lugs on either side of the length direction of the main body. When the left battery frame 213 and the right battery frame 211 are buckled onto the battery cell 212 from the left and right sides of the battery cell 212, the ear plates of the left battery frame 213 and the right battery frame 211 are opposite to each other, and the ear plates that buckle with each other have male buckles and female buckles respectively, which are locked to each other by the cooperation of the male buckles and the female buckles. The connection between the left battery frame 213 and the right battery frame 211 is fixed to each other in the form of glue, so the fixation is more secure.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the left battery frame 213 and the right battery frame 211 each have a large hollow area on their bodies, which can serve as a window for heat dissipation during charging of the battery cells 212. In some feasible embodiments, the left battery frame 213 and the right battery frame 211 can be an integral profile made of plastic material.

[0032] A rear cover is installed at the rear of the battery body. The rear cover is a semi-enclosed shell structure. After the rear cover is snapped onto the rear end of the battery body, a cavity is formed between the rear cover and the end face of the rear end of the battery body. Hollow button holes are provided on the left and right sides of the rear cover at positions corresponding to the cavities. A left spring pressing piece 24 and a right spring pressing piece 26 are installed in the corresponding button holes within the cavities. The left spring pressing piece 24 has two guide posts, and the corresponding right spring pressing piece 26 also has two guide posts. A spring 23 is mounted on the outside of each guide post. The left button 21 and the right button 27 are respectively installed in the button holes. In this embodiment, the base of the left button 21 and the right button 27 have a circle of outer edge structures that extend outward along their bases. The left button 21 and the right button 27 are both fixed to the window edge of the button hole through the outer edge structures at their bases to prevent the left button 21 and the right button 27 from falling out of the button hole. There are hooks on the left button 21 and the right button 27 facing the front of the battery body, and the hooks are integrally formed with the corresponding left button 21 and right button 27.

[0033] The front of the battery back cover 25 is provided with holes for buttons and a light array. Inside the battery back cover 25, corresponding to the holes for buttons and the light array, there is a light board 210. Light board 210 has light beads and a push button switch. A switch button 28 is installed in the button hole and corresponds to the push button switch. A light guide 29 is installed in the light array hole and corresponds to the light beads. The light guide 29 is fixed to the light array hole by hot melt. Light-shielding foam 214 is attached to the back and outer periphery of the base of the light guide 29.

[0034] The drone battery 2 can be activated by pressing the on / off button 28. The multiple light guides 29 can also display the current status of the drone battery 2, including but not limited to the remaining charge of the battery cells 212. The light-shielding foam 214 prevents light from the light guides 29 from leaking out in other directions, allowing light to escape only from the light array holes.

[0035] In this embodiment, two battery groups are combined to form Figure 2 In the illustrated state, the battery compartment is located at the rear of the drone body 1. To insert the battery 2 into the drone body 1, simply insert the battery 2 into the compartment opening and push it to the end. The internal snap structure 11 at the compartment opening then engages with the hooks on the left and right buttons 21 and 27, locking the battery 2 securely in the compartment. The battery rear cover 25 is now exposed to the outside of the drone's battery compartment, making it easier for the user to press the on / off button 28 and observe the light guide 29. To remove the battery 2, hold the drone body 1 with one hand and press the left and right buttons 21 and 27 with the other hand to separate the battery 2 from the drone body 1.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the bottom of the battery body has a guide rail structure 22, and the bottom wall of the battery compartment has a directional guide rail structure 12. The guide rail structure 22 is located at the bottom of the left battery frame 213 and the right battery frame 211. It is convenient to guide the battery 2 as a whole into the battery compartment of the drone body 1.

[0037] The left and right sides of the battery rear cover 25 of the drone battery 2 are respectively provided with rotation buttons, and the buttons can be pushed outward by the spring 23. Correspondingly, an inner buckle structure 11 is also provided on the side wall of the battery compartment of the drone body 1 near the opening. To install and lock the battery 2, you only need to insert the battery 2 into the battery compartment of the drone body 1 and push the battery 2 into the box until the battery 2 is pushed to the end of the stroke. The tail of the button and the drone body 1 can be clamped together by the cooperation of the buckle and the elastic groove, which is very convenient to use. At the same time, the battery 2 can be removed by pressing the buttons on the left and right sides of the battery 2. It is easy to operate, not easy to fall off, has a reliable structure, and can be operated with one hand.

[0038] The above content is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, many changes can be made in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of the present technical content. As long as these changes do not deviate from the concept of the present invention, they all fall within the scope of protection of this patent.
