Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, specifically a miniature long-range UAV that is easy to replace with batteries. Background Technology

[0002] In today's era of rapid technological advancement, micro long-range drones, with their unique advantages, have demonstrated enormous application potential in numerous fields. Whether in civilian applications such as aerial photography, logistics delivery, and agricultural plant protection, or in industrial applications such as power line inspection, geographic surveying, and emergency rescue, micro long-range drones are playing an increasingly important role. However, in the process of their widespread application, battery replacement has become a key bottleneck restricting their further development and efficient application. Traditional battery installation and replacement methods for micro long-range drones have many drawbacks. On the one hand, their structural design is often quite complex, with the battery usually fixed in a relatively concealed location inside the drone. Replacement requires operators to possess certain professional knowledge and skills. Operators often need to use various specialized tools and carefully disassemble multiple components on the drone's body, such as screws and clips, to reach the battery. Replacing batteries is not only a tedious and time-consuming process, but also requires a high degree of patience and meticulousness from the operators. In some time-sensitive mission scenarios, such as emergency rescue and news reporting, a lengthy battery replacement process may lead to mission delays, missing the best opportunity, and causing irreparable losses. On the other hand, traditional battery installation methods cannot guarantee the stability of the battery during flight. Since drones are subjected to various complex external forces during flight, such as airflow impact and vibration, if the battery is not securely fixed, it is easy for it to loosen or even fall off. Once the battery becomes loose during flight, it will not only affect the power supply to various components of the drone, causing loss of flight attitude, but may also pose a safety threat to the surrounding environment and personnel. Moreover, if the loose battery collides and rubs against other internal components of the drone, it may cause short circuits and other malfunctions, seriously damaging the drone equipment. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a miniature remote-controlled drone with an easy-to-replace battery, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the complexity, time-consuming nature, and insecure fixing of batteries in traditional miniature remote-controlled drones, which can easily lead to flight malfunctions and safety hazards.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a micro remote-controlled drone that facilitates battery replacement, comprising a base plate, an organism fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base plate, and a cover plate fixedly mounted on the upper end of the organism, a support arm mounted on the surface of the base plate, an electric rotor provided at the end of the support arm away from the base plate, and a foot fixedly mounted on the lower outer surface of the base plate, a battery disposed inside the organism, and a quick-release mechanism provided on the surfaces of the base plate, the organism, and the cover plate, which facilitates battery replacement by quickly limiting the battery after it is electrically connected to the electric rotor;

[0005] The quick-installation mechanism includes: a clearance groove formed on the outer surfaces of both ends of the cover plate; mounting grooves formed on both ends of the body; a battery placed inside the mounting groove; the battery connected to the controller of the electric rotor and the body via a cable; a limit post fixedly installed at the upper end of the battery; a sliding column fixedly installed on the lower surface of the base plate; a sliding limit frame installed on the outer surface of the sliding column; a rotating functional plate installed on the upper surface of the cover plate; a limit groove formed on the lower surfaces of both ends of the functional plate; a limit rod penetrating the outer surfaces of both ends of the functional plate; a sliding pressing rod installed on the upper surface of the functional plate; and a toggle rod fixedly installed at one end of the pressing rod.

[0006] Preferably, the upper end of the limiting post is arc-shaped, and the longitudinal section of the upper end of the limiting post is T-shaped.

[0007] The above technical solution uses an arc-shaped design to make it easier for the limiting post to align with the limiting groove during installation, thus playing a guiding role and making the installation process smoother. The T-shaped design can effectively prevent the limiting post from coming out of the limiting groove, thereby enhancing the stability of the battery fixation.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting frame is a C-shaped design with the opening facing upwards, and the upper end of the limiting frame penetrates the upper surface of the base plate. A spring connects the limiting frame and the base plate, and the upper end of the limiting frame is engaged with the battery.

[0009] Using the above technical solution, the C-shaped design can effectively limit the battery from both sides and the bottom, ensuring that the battery will not wobble in the horizontal direction.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting groove is arc-shaped, and the functional plate is engaged with the limiting post through the limiting groove.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc-shaped limiting groove is adapted to the arc-shaped upper end of the limiting post, which increases the contact area between the two, makes the engagement tighter, and can better withstand various external forces generated during flight, further improving the stability of battery fixation and ensuring the flight safety of the drone.

[0012] Preferably, the lower end of the limiting rod penetrates the inner top surface of the limiting groove, and the outer surface of the lower end of the limiting rod is in contact with the outer surface of the upper end of the limiting post. The upper end of the limiting rod facing the extrusion rod is designed with an inclined surface, and a spring connects the limiting rod and the functional plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the lower end of the limiting rod fits into the limiting post, further restricting the movement of the battery and enhancing the fixing effect. The inclined design makes it easier for the squeezing rod to push the limiting rod downward, achieving rapid locking.

[0014] Preferably, a spring connects the lever to the function plate, and one end of the lever is L-shaped, with the L-shaped end of the lever protruding from the upper surface of the function plate.

[0015] The L-shaped design of the lever protruding from the upper surface of the function board makes it easy for operators to grip and operate, and facilitates the application of external force. The spring connected to the function board allows the lever to automatically reset after operation, preparing for the next operation. At the same time, it also ensures that the lever will not move accidentally due to vibration or other factors during the flight of the drone, thus ensuring the stability of the battery fixing structure.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: this miniature long-range drone with easy battery replacement:

[0017] 1. By setting up a quick-installation mechanism, batteries can be quickly installed and removed without the need for additional tools. Operators only need to operate the function board, lever and other components to quickly complete the battery limit and unlock, which greatly saves the time of battery replacement. Compared with the traditional method, the replacement time can be shortened by several times, which improves the working efficiency of the drone in actual use, especially suitable for mission scenarios that require frequent battery replacement.

[0018] 2. The limiting design ensures the battery is stably fixed during flight. The multiple limiting structures, such as the engagement of the limiting post and the limiting groove, the clamping of the limiting frame on the battery, and the contact between the limiting rod and the limiting post, can effectively resist the impact of airflow, vibration and other external forces on the drone during flight, and prevent the battery from becoming loose, shifting or even falling off. This ensures the stability and safety of the drone flight and reduces the risk of flight accidents caused by battery problems. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-9 This utility model provides a technical solution: a micro remote-controlled drone that facilitates battery replacement, including a base plate 1, an organism 2 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base plate 1, and a cover plate 3 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the organism 2. A support arm 4 is mounted on the surface of the base plate 1, and an electric rotor 5 is provided at the end of the support arm 4 away from the base plate 1. A support foot 6 is fixedly provided on the lower outer surface of the base plate 1. A battery 9 is provided inside the organism 2. A quick-release mechanism is provided on the surfaces of the base plate 1, the organism 2, and the cover plate 3. The battery 9 is quickly positioned after being electrically connected to the electric rotor 5, which facilitates the replacement of the battery 9.

[0031] The quick-installation mechanism includes: a clearance groove 7, which is formed on the outer surfaces of both ends of the cover plate 3; mounting grooves 8 are formed on both ends of the body 2; a battery 9 is placed inside the mounting groove 8; the battery 9 is connected to the electric rotor 5 and the controller of the body 2 via a cable; a limit post 10 is fixedly set on the upper end of the battery 9; a sliding post 11 is fixedly set on the lower surface of the base plate 1; a sliding limit frame 12 is installed on the outer surface of the sliding post 11; a rotating function plate 13 is installed on the upper surface of the cover plate 3; a limit groove 14 is formed on the lower surfaces of both ends of the function plate 13; a limit rod 15 penetrates the outer surfaces of both ends of the function plate 13; a sliding pressing rod 16 is installed on the upper surface of the function plate 13; and a toggle rod 17 is fixedly set on one end of the pressing rod 16.

[0032] The upper end of the limiting post 10 is arc-shaped, and the longitudinal section of the upper end of the limiting post 10 is T-shaped.

[0033] The limiting frame 12 has an upward-facing C-shaped design, and the upper end of the limiting frame 12 penetrates the upper surface of the base plate 1. A spring connects the limiting frame 12 and the base plate 1, and the upper end of the limiting frame 12 is engaged with the battery 9.

[0034] The limiting groove 14 is arc-shaped, and the function plate 13 is installed by engaging with the limiting post 10 through the limiting groove 14;

[0035] The lower end of the limiting rod 15 penetrates the inner top surface of the limiting groove 14, and the outer surface of the lower end of the limiting rod 15 is in contact with the outer surface of the upper end of the limiting post 10. The upper end of the limiting rod 15 facing the pressing rod 16 is designed with a slope, and a spring is connected between the limiting rod 15 and the functional plate 13.

[0036] A spring connects the lever 17 to the function plate 13, and one end of the lever 17 is designed in an L-shape, with the L-shaped end of the lever 17 protruding from the upper surface of the function plate 13.

[0037] First, place the battery 9 into the mounting slots 8 at both ends of the body 2 above the base plate 1. When placing it, insert the battery 9 longitudinally through the clearance slot 7 on the surface of the cover plate 3 into the mounting slot 8. Then, rotate the battery 9 to make it horizontal. Then, connect the battery 9 to the electric rotor 5 and the controller of the body 2 via cables to provide power and control support for the drone. When the battery 9 is placed into the mounting slot 8, the limiting bracket 12 is first pressed and moves downward relative to the sliding column 11 until the battery 9 is horizontal and moves upward under the action of the spring. Its upper end engages with the battery 9, initially limiting the battery 9 and preventing it from moving easily in the horizontal direction. Since the limiting column 10 fixedly set at the upper end of the battery 9 is aligned with the limiting slot 14, as the function plate 13 rotates, the limiting slot 14 engages with the limiting column 10, further limiting the battery 9. As the battery 9 moves vertically, during the rotation of the function plate 13 to engage the limiting groove 14 with the limiting post 10, the push rods 17 on both sides are pressed, causing the pressing rod 16 to be driven to disengage from the limiting rod 15. The limiting rod 15 moves upward under the support of the spring, passing the limiting post 10, until the limiting post 10 is stably engaged with the limiting groove 14. At this time, the push rod 17 is released, and the push rod 17 drives the pressing rod 16 to reset under the support of the spring. The pressing rod 16 presses the inclined surface of the limiting rod 15, causing the limiting rod 15 to move downward and closely fit the limiting post 10, further reinforcing the limiting of the battery 9. This ensures that the battery 9 will not loosen due to vibration or other factors during the flight of the electric rotor 5 and the body 2 driven by the support arm 4. The support leg 6 provides stable support for the drone when it lands.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
