Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone technology, specifically to a drone locking cover assembly that is easy to install and remove. Background Technology
[0002] A drone is an aircraft that relies on radio remote control or autonomous program control for flight. It is widely used in aerial photography and mapping, logistics and transportation, environmental monitoring, agricultural plant protection, patrol and security and other fields. With the development of drone technology, its size is becoming smaller and its functions are becoming more intelligent. Flight performance and endurance have become important factors affecting the user experience of drones. Since drones rely on batteries for power, their endurance is usually relatively limited. During long-term flights or high-load operations, it is necessary to replace the batteries in time to maintain continuous operation. Therefore, drones are usually designed with a battery compartment and equipped with a battery compartment locking component to ensure that the battery can be securely installed inside the fuselage and prevent the battery from becoming loose or falling off due to flight vibration or external impact.
[0003] Traditional battery compartment locking components mostly use screws or simple snap-fit designs. While screw fixing offers high stability, it requires tools for battery replacement, making the disassembly and assembly process cumbersome and time-consuming, which is not conducive to quick battery replacement in emergency situations for drones. Snap-fit structures are relatively easy to disassemble and assemble, but after long-term use, friction wear can cause the locking force to decrease, leading to loosening. Some high-end drones use magnetic or sliding rail locking solutions, which improve operational convenience. However, magnetic structures may have stability issues under severe vibration, while sliding rail designs are prone to accumulating dust and foreign objects, affecting the locking effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drone locking cover assembly that is easy to install and disassemble, in order to solve the problem of traditional drone locking assemblies being prone to loosening after long-term use, as mentioned in the background art.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an easy-to-install and easy-to-disassemble drone locking cover assembly, comprising a drone shell, a battery compartment cover rotatably mounted at the front end of the drone shell, a flap fixedly mounted at the rear end of the battery compartment cover, movable rods movably mounted at the left and right ends of the flap, a first spring sleeved on the outer ring of the movable rod, the inner side of the first spring being fixedly connected to the flap, and a bearing rotatably connected to the outer side of the movable rod, the bearing being fixed inside the drone shell, and the battery compartment cover being fixed to the drone shell by a locking assembly. The drone shell is the supporting structure of the entire assembly, providing the foundation for installing and securing other parts. The battery compartment cover is used to seal the battery compartment, preventing external environmental factors from affecting the battery. It can also be quickly opened when the battery needs to be replaced. The flap serves as support and connection, allowing the battery compartment cover to open and close smoothly. The movable rod connects the flap and provides a certain degree of elasticity, making the battery compartment cover open and close more smoothly. The first spring provides additional rebound force, allowing the flap to maintain a certain degree of stability after opening and assisting in locking when closed. The bearing reduces friction, allowing the movable rod to rotate more smoothly.
[0008] Preferably, a release button is movably provided at the lower end of the drone shell, and a connecting rod is fixedly provided at the rear end of the battery compartment cover. The release button is used to control the opening of the locking assembly, so that the user can easily unlock the battery compartment cover. The connecting rod is used to connect the battery compartment cover and the locking assembly to ensure that they can work together.
[0009] Preferably, a conical buckle is movably provided at the end of the connecting rod away from the battery compartment cover. The conical buckle is composed of a cone divided into two parts. A second spring is provided in the gap in the middle of the conical buckle. The conical buckle is the core component of the locking mechanism. By cooperating with the locking mechanism through its own shape, it can achieve a stable fixation of the battery compartment cover. The second spring is used to provide elasticity so that the conical buckle can automatically reset during the locking or unlocking process.
[0010] Preferably, a movable block is fixedly provided at one end of the tapered buckle near the connecting rod, and the movable block can move within the groove of the connecting rod.
[0011] Preferably, a protruding ring is fixedly provided at one end of the release button near the cone buckle. The inside of the protruding ring is provided with a movable groove for the cone buckle to move. The protruding ring plays a role in restricting and guiding, so that the release button can accurately push the cone buckle to unlock when pressed. The movable groove is used to provide the cone buckle with room to move, so that it can move smoothly when unlocking.
[0012] Preferably, the upper end of the release button is provided with a third spring, and the lower surface of the release button is provided with an anti-slip ridge. The third spring is used to provide a rebound force so that the release button can automatically reset after being pressed. The anti-slip ridge is used to increase the friction of the release button so that the user can press the button more firmly during operation.
[0013] Preferably, the movable rod is made of polypropylene and is elastic, so that it can maintain good elastic recovery and durability after long-term use.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. This easy-to-install and disassemble drone locking cover assembly utilizes the elastic deformation characteristics of the combination of the cone buckle and the second spring in the locking mechanism. When the cone buckle enters the groove of the shell, it automatically expands and locks into the movable groove through the spring tension, forming a multi-point contact self-locking structure. This not only ensures the rigid support of the locked state, but also effectively offsets the risk of loosening caused by flight vibration, and enhances the stability of the overall structure.
[0016] 2. This easy-to-install and disassemble drone locking cover assembly adopts a design that combines a flexible movable rod with a flip plate. The clamping action of the first spring provides a gentle damping feedback during the flipping process of the battery compartment cover, which maintains the continuity of the action and avoids accidental collision of the cover due to inertia, thereby improving the operating feel and equipment safety.
[0017] 3. This easy-to-install and remove drone locking cover assembly can simultaneously drive the cone buckle to retract and disengage from the locking position with a single press. Combined with the friction optimization of the anti-slip ridge, it can achieve quick unlocking with one hand while ensuring the accuracy of button reset. Combined with the automatic rebound characteristics of the elastic movable rod, it significantly shortens the operation cycle of battery replacement. Attached Figure Description

The gap in the middle allows it to compress inward when subjected to force. The second spring 10 is used to provide restoring force so that the cone buckle can automatically reset during locking and unlocking. The movable block 11 is used to guide the movement of the cone buckle so that it can slide smoothly and accurately enter the locking position.
[0029] A raised ring 12 is fixedly provided at one end of the release button 7 near the cone buckle 9. The inside of the raised ring 12 is provided with a movable groove 13 for the cone buckle 9 to move. A third spring 14 is provided at the upper end of the release button 7, and an anti-slip ridge 15 is provided on the lower surface of the release button 7. The movable rod 4 is made of polypropylene and is elastic. The raised ring 12 restricts and guides the movement of the cone buckle. When the release button is pressed, it squeezes the cone buckle, causing it to retract inward to complete the unlocking. The movable groove 13 is used to provide the cone buckle with a space for movement, so that it can slide smoothly during the unlocking process. The third spring 14 is used to provide a rebound force, so that the release button can automatically reset after being pressed. The anti-slip ridge 15 is used to increase the friction of the release button, so that the user can press the button more firmly during operation.

[0030] Working principle: The battery compartment cover 2 and the flip plate 3 are fixed to the drone shell 1 by the elastic movable rod 4. The first spring 5 provides clamping force on the outer ring of the movable rod 4 to stabilize the flip plate 3, so that the battery compartment cover 2 generates a damping feeling when flipping. The locking assembly pushes the cone buckle 9 into the groove of the shell 1 through the connecting rod 8. The connecting rod 8 has a certain elasticity and can be slightly bent. After compressing the second spring 10 inside the cone buckle 9 so that it passes through the hole, it expands with the tension of the second spring 10 and is locked into the movable groove 13 of the convex ring 12 to complete the self-locking. When unlocking, press the release button 7. The convex ring 12 squeezes the cone buckle 9 to compress the second spring 10. The cone buckle 9 retracts along the movable groove 13 to the outside of the groove and disengages from the locked position of the shell 1. The third spring 14 drives the release button 7 to automatically reset, realizing the quick unlocking of the battery compartment cover 2.
