Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone technology, and in particular to a drone battery quick replacement device. Background Technology

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and their own program control devices. They have no cockpit but are equipped with autopilots, program control devices, and other equipment. Ground control systems track, locate, remotely control, telemetry, and transmit digital data to them. With the development and popularization of UAV technology, UAVs have gradually been applied to various industries.

[0003] Drones often operate for extended periods, and direct charging can impact operational efficiency. Therefore, batteries are frequently replaced during drone operation, often using a pusher to alternate between old and new batteries. However, during prolonged flight operations, dust can accumulate on the battery compartment surface. This dust can adhere to the new battery during the pusher process, increasing the contact resistance between the battery and the device. This causes the battery to generate more heat during charging and discharging, reducing its charging and discharging efficiency. In severe cases, it can even prevent the battery from charging or discharging properly, affecting the drone's usability. Therefore, this application proposes a quick battery replacement device for drones. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem in the prior art that dust may adhere to the new battery during the battery-lifting process, leading to increased contact resistance between the battery and the device and reduced battery charging and discharging efficiency. This invention proposes a quick battery replacement device for drones.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drone battery quick replacement device proposed in this utility model includes an operating platform 1 and a drone body 2, and also includes a fixing plate 3 fixedly installed on one side of the operating platform 1. An electric push rod 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing plate 3. A connecting block 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 4. An L-shaped clamp 6 is fixedly installed on the connecting block 5. The fixing plate 3 is fixedly connected to the side of the operating platform 1 by bolts, which is conducive to later disassembly and maintenance. The drone body 2 is located on the top of the operating platform 1. When replacing the battery, it is necessary to control the drone body 2 to stop on the surface of the operating platform 1.

[0031] In addition, an electric slide rail 8 is provided on one side of the control panel 1. A moving block 9 is slidably installed in the electric slide rail 8. A positioning plate 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the moving block 9. A stop block 11 is provided on the positioning plate 10. Limiting grooves 12 matching the stop block 11 and the L-shaped clamp 6 are opened on both sides of the drone body 2. After the drone body 2 is parked, the movement of the moving block 9 drives the stop block 11 to press against the limiting groove 12 to complete the fixed limiting of one side of the drone body 2. With the push of the electric push rod 4, the L-shaped clamp 6 is moved forward to achieve effective fixation of both sides of the drone body 2, which is conducive to subsequent battery replacement operations.

[0032] like Figure 2-4As shown, the device also includes a protective device, which is installed on the L-shaped clamp 6 for protecting the drone battery. The protective device includes a protective frame 7 fixedly installed on one side of the L-shaped clamp 6. A connecting box 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the protective frame 7. A groove 16 is opened on one side of the inner wall of the connecting box 14. A slider 18 is slidably installed in the groove 16. A push plate 19 located inside the protective frame 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 18. A frame door is hinged to one side of the protective frame 7. Opening the frame door allows the new battery that needs to be replaced to be placed into the protective frame 7, preventing dust from easily accumulating on the surface of the new battery.

[0033] Furthermore, a lead screw 17, threadedly connected to a slider 18, is rotatably installed inside the slide 16. A drive motor 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting box 14. The output shaft of the drive motor 15 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 17. When the drive motor 15 is started, the lead screw 17 rotates, and the slider 18 drives the push plate 19 to move forward, so that the new battery can successfully enter the interior of the UAV body 2 compartment door and push open the old battery inside, realizing the battery replacement in a closed environment and effectively protecting the replaced battery.

[0034] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the device also includes a cleaning mechanism, which is set inside the connecting block 5 for cleaning dust adhering to the surface of the drone body 2. The cleaning mechanism includes a receiving cavity 20 opened between the L-shaped clamp 6 and the connecting block 5. An air pump 21 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the receiving cavity 20, and a nozzle 22 is fixedly connected to the air pump 21. Before replacing the battery, the air pump 21 can be used to blow away the dust adhering to the surface of the door, so as to avoid the dust falling during the battery replacement process and affecting the battery performance.

[0035] It is worth noting that a communicating slot 23 is provided between the L-shaped clamp 6 and the protective frame 7, and a rectangular slot 13 matching the protective frame 7 is provided on the fixing plate 3. The rectangular slot 13 can prevent the electric push rod 4 from impacting the surface of the fixing plate 3 when it retracts, thus affecting the normal use of the protective frame 7.

[0036] In this embodiment, the frame door of the protective frame 7 is opened, and the new battery to be replaced is placed inside the protective frame 7 in advance. The frame door is closed, and when the drone body 2 is parked on the operating table 1, the electric slide rail 8 is used to move the moving block 9 to move the positioning plate 10, so that the stop block 11 is pressed against one side of the drone body 2. Then, the electric push rod 4 pushes the L-shaped clamp 6 to clamp the other side of the drone body 2. After fixing, the air pump 21 compresses air and the nozzle 22 blows away the dust attached to the surface of the compartment door to prevent dust from falling and adhering to the new battery during the battery replacement process. After cleaning, the drive motor 15 is started to rotate the lead screw 17. The slider 18 drives the push plate 19 to slide forward, so that the push plate 19 pushes the new battery through the slot 23 to successfully enter the drone body 2 and replace the old battery inside, thus realizing the battery replacement.

[0037] The above specific embodiments are merely several optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
