Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of UAV charging, and more specifically, particularly relates to a detachable battery compartment for a UAV. Background Technique

[0002] A UAV is an aircraft that does not require a pilot to control it inside the aircraft and relies on remote control, autonomous navigation or pre-programmed instructions to complete flight tasks; when a UAV is charging, most of the time, the battery needs to be removed for charging, and when charging, the battery needs to be inserted into a charging seat for charging.

[0003] Although the existing device has a protective structure that can achieve anti-collision protection after falling, its protective structure has a single function and cannot play a certain role in preventing the charging plug from loosening; the existing device has the function of synchronously charging multiple batteries, and when one charging area is damaged, it cannot be quickly replaced. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a detachable battery compartment for a UAV to solve the problem that although the existing device has a protective structure that can achieve anti-collision protection after falling, its protective structure has a single function and cannot play a certain role in preventing the charging plug from loosening; the existing device has the function of synchronously charging multiple batteries, and when one charging area is damaged, it cannot be quickly replaced.

[0005] The purpose and effect of a detachable battery compartment for a UAV of the utility model are achieved by the following specific technical means:

[0006] A detachable battery compartment for a UAV includes a base; four first conductive contact pieces are linearly and arrayedly installed on the top end surface of the inner wall of the base, four charging seats are inserted into the base, and a second conductive contact piece is installed at the bottom of each charging seat, and the four second conductive contact pieces are in contact with the four first conductive contact pieces.

[0007] Furthermore, two protective blocks are adhered to the outside of the base, both of the two protective blocks are made of rubber, and both of the two protective blocks are in a zigzag shape.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom end surface of the lower protective block is lower than the bottom end surface of the base.

[0009] Furthermore, a charging plug is inserted into the base, and the bottom and the bottom part of the charging plug are elastically in contact with the two protective blocks respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, eight slots are formed inside the base, the eight slots are divided into four groups in pairs, and a clamping block is welded to the front end surface and the rear end surface of each charging seat, and the eight clamping blocks on the four charging seats are respectively clamped in the eight slots.

[0011] Furthermore, the lower end of each of the eight snap-fit ​​blocks has been cut, and after the cutting process, the lower end of each of the eight snap-fit ​​blocks has an inclined structure.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the charging bases has a third conductive contact piece installed on the bottom surface of its inner wall. The four third conductive contacts are electrically connected to the four second conductive contacts respectively. When the drone battery is inserted into the charging base, the charging contacts on the drone battery come into contact with the third conductive contacts.

[0013] Furthermore, a connecting block is fixed to both the left and right ends of the base, and a handle slides on the two connecting blocks. A cylindrical block-shaped stop is welded to both ends below the handle. Two helical springs are sleeved on the handle. When the two helical springs are elastically extended, the handle contacts the top of the four drone batteries.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In terms of structural design, the base has a first conductive contact piece at the top of its inner wall, which works in conjunction with the second conductive contact piece at the bottom of the charging base. When a single charging base is damaged, it can be directly pulled out and replaced, greatly improving maintenance efficiency. The rubber protective block on the outside of the base is U-shaped, which not only provides protection when the device is dropped, but also reduces the possibility of the charging plug becoming loose through its elastic contact with the charging plug.

[0016] Regarding installation and stability: the slot of the base and the snap-fit ​​block of the charging dock cooperate with each other, and the inclined design of the snap-fit ​​block facilitates quick installation, effectively improving installation efficiency and enhancing the stability of the charging dock after installation.

[0017] In terms of convenience and practicality, this application features a cleverly designed handle on the base connecting block. During charging, the elasticity of the spiral spring ensures the stability of the drone battery and prevents it from shaking during charging. When carrying the device, simply hold the handle to move it easily, balancing charging stability and portability, providing users with an efficient, reliable, and convenient user experience.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used herein shall have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains. The use of terms such as "a," "an," or "the" in this utility model patent application specification and claims does not indicate a quantity limitation, but rather indicates the presence of at least one.

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0028] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:

[0029] This utility model provides a detachable battery compartment for drones, including a base 1; four first conductive contact pieces 103 are installed in a linear array on the top surface of the inner wall of the base 1, and four charging sockets 3 are inserted into the base 1. Each charging socket 3 has a second conductive contact piece 302 installed at its bottom. The four second conductive contact pieces 302 are in contact with the four first conductive contact pieces 103. During use, when a single charging socket 3 is damaged, it can be directly pulled out of the base 1 and replaced, making maintenance convenient and quick.

[0030] Two protective blocks 101 are attached to the outside of the base 1. Both protective blocks 101 are made of rubber and are U-shaped. When the base 1 falls, the two protective blocks 101 can play a certain protective role.

[0031] The bottom surface of the lower protective block 101 is lower than the bottom surface of the base 1. When the base 1 is accidentally dropped, the protective block 101 can protect the bottom and bottom edge of the base 1, thus expanding the protection range.

[0032] The base 1 has a charging plug 2 inserted into it. The bottom of the charging plug 2 is in elastic contact with two protective blocks 101. During the charging process, the elastic contact between the two protective blocks 101 and the charging plug 2 can reduce the chance of the charging plug 2 becoming loose.

[0033] The base 1 has eight slots 102 on its inner side. The eight slots 102 are divided into four groups of two. Each charging base 3 has a snap-fit ​​block 301 welded to its front and rear faces. The eight snap-fit ​​blocks 301 on the four charging bases 3 are snapped into the eight slots 102 respectively. When installing the charging base 3, the snap-fit ​​blocks 301 and the slots 102 can improve the installation efficiency and stability of the charging base 3 after installation.

[0034] Each charging base 3 has a third conductive contact 303 installed on the bottom surface of its inner wall. The four third conductive contact 303 are electrically connected to the four second conductive contact 302 respectively. When the drone battery 4 is inserted into the charging base 3, the charging contact on the drone battery 4 contacts the third conductive contact 303.

[0035] The base 1 has a connecting block 5 fixed on its left and right ends. A handle 501 slides on the two connecting blocks 5. A cylindrical block-shaped stop is welded to both ends of the handle 501. Two helical springs 502 are fitted on the handle 501. When the two helical springs 502 are elastically extended, the handle 501 contacts the top of the four drone batteries 4. When charging, the handle 501 is pushed backward, at which time the two helical springs 502 are compressed, and the four drone batteries 4 are inserted into the four charging sockets 3. Then the handle 501 is released, and the handle 501 contacts the four drone batteries 4 under the elastic action of the two helical springs 502. The contact between the handle 501 and the four drone batteries 4 can ensure the stability of the drone batteries 4 during charging. The device can also be carried by holding the handle 501, making it convenient to carry.

[0036] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the lower end of each of the eight snap-fit ​​blocks 301 is cut. After the cutting, the lower end of each of the eight snap-fit ​​blocks 301 is inclined. When the snap-fit ​​block 301 is snapped into the slot 102, the snap-fit ​​is more convenient under the guidance of the inclined part of the snap-fit ​​block 301.

[0037] Working principle: When charging, plug the charging plug 2 into the base 1. At this time, the charging plug 2 makes elastic contact with the inner side of the two protective blocks 101. Push the handle 501 backward, at which time the two helical springs 502 are compressed, inserting the four drone batteries 4 into the four charging sockets 3. Then release the handle 501. Under the elastic action of the two helical springs 502, the handle 501 contacts the four drone batteries 4, realizing the limiting and fixing of the drone batteries 4. When a single charging socket 3 is damaged, it can be directly pulled out from the base 1 and replaced. When carrying, simply hold the handle 501 to carry it.
