Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and specifically to a charging interface module applicable to multiple UAV models. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, drones have been widely used in aerial surveying and mapping, logistics and transportation, environmental monitoring, emergency rescue and other fields. With the continuous expansion of application scenarios, the frequency of drone use and the complexity of working environments have increased significantly. In the daily use of drones, the charging interface, as a key component connecting the power supply and the drone battery, directly affects the safety, reliability and service life of the equipment.

[0003] According to the public announcement (CN211364287U), a battery charging device for drone inspection is disclosed. This technology discloses a technical solution that includes "a square box containing a battery and a heat sink connected to the battery. The bottom of the square box has a heat dissipation vent and a 220kV power plug, which is connected to the battery. Several charging interfaces are opened on the outer wall of the square box, and several charging interfaces are connected to a charging controller, which is connected to the battery." This solution is convenient for vehicle-mounted transport and can store a large amount of electrical energy, providing sufficient power for drones to work in the field and ensuring their endurance. Furthermore, multiple different charging interfaces can charge different models of drones, meeting the charging needs of different drones. The device can also be connected to an external power source or generator to charge the battery, and can be used cyclically to provide sufficient endurance for drones.

[0004] In the aforementioned comparative documents, although multiple charging ports are connected to a charging controller, allowing the battery to charge different models of drones, during use, the charging plug and interface may become loose due to the special environment in which the drone is used. This can be caused by the drone's own vibration, external contact, or bumps during transportation, leading to friction between the two. This accelerates mechanical wear and oxidation, resulting in increased contact resistance, reduced charging efficiency, and in severe cases, even short circuits, fires, and other safety accidents. At the same time, drones often need to operate in complex environments such as outdoors and at high altitudes. Existing charging interfaces lack effective physical protection measures. During transportation or accidental collisions, the interfaces are easily deformed or damaged by external impacts, significantly shortening the interface's lifespan, increasing maintenance costs, and even affecting the normal use of the drone.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a charging interface module applicable to multiple drone models. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art by providing a charging interface module suitable for multiple drone models.

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A charging interface module applicable to multiple models of drones includes a shell, a battery is disposed inside the shell, a power socket is disposed at the bottom of the shell, a reinforcing component is disposed on the outer wall of the shell, and a protective component is disposed on the shell; the reinforcing component includes a fixing tube fixedly connected to the top of the shell, a first spring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing tube, a connecting plate fixedly connected to one end of the first spring located on the outer wall of the fixing tube, one side of the connecting plate being in contact with the outer wall of the shell, a second spring fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate, a reinforcing plate slidably connected to the bottom of the connecting plate, and one end of the second spring being fixedly connected to the top of the reinforcing plate.

[0008] The protective assembly includes a fixed rod fixedly connected to the connecting plate, a torsion spring provided on the outer wall of the fixed rod, a protective plate rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixed rod, and the interior of the protective plate fixedly connected to one end of the torsion spring. By setting the protective assembly, the charging interface is sealed.

[0009] The top of the outer casing has heat dissipation holes, and a guide is movably connected to the outer casing through the heat dissipation holes. By setting the heat dissipation holes and the guide, heat dissipation of the battery can be achieved. At the same time, the guide can block the heat dissipation holes when they are not in use, thereby preventing external factors from affecting the battery.

[0010] The inner wall of the housing is detachably connected to a cooling fan, and the inner wall of the housing is provided with an air guide groove. By setting up the cooling fan and the air guide groove, the battery can be cooled. The combined use of the cooling fan and the air guide groove can accelerate the airflow inside the housing, thereby accelerating the cooling efficiency of the battery.

[0011] The outer wall of the shell has a groove, and the side wall of the reinforcing plate is fixedly connected with a pull ring. By setting the groove and the pull ring, the reinforcing plate can be quickly pulled, which makes it convenient for staff to connect the drone to the charging interface.

[0012] The bottom of the outer casing is slidably connected to a sliding groove, and a sliding plate is slidably connected to the outer casing through the sliding groove. By setting the sliding groove and the sliding plate, the power socket is protected to prevent damage caused by external factors.

[0013] A first soft pad is fixedly connected to the reinforcing plate, with one side of the first soft pad adhering to one side of the protective plate. A second soft pad is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, with one side of the second soft pad adhering to one side of the protective plate. By setting the first soft pad and the second soft pad, the joint between the protective plate and the connecting plate is sealed, thereby preventing external factors from damaging the charging interface.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] By incorporating reinforcement components, the drone's plug can be inserted more tightly into the charging port, preventing the plug and port from becoming loose and rubbing against each other during charging. This reduces mechanical wear and oxidation, and also provides physical protection for the drone's plug and port during transportation, preventing deformation or damage to the port due to external impacts.

[0016] By setting up protective components, the charging interface is sealed. Sealing the charging interface can prevent dust or moisture from entering the interior of the charging interface, thereby avoiding problems such as leakage and short circuits caused by decreased insulation performance of the charging interface. At the same time, it can also prevent poor contact caused by moisture or dust, ensuring a good electrical connection between the charging interface and the charging device.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] This charging interface module is applicable to multiple drone models. When charging a drone, the appropriate charging interface can be selected according to the drone model. When charging is needed, the connecting plate 303 can be pulled by the pull ring 11 to expose the charging interface. After the charging interface is exposed, the reinforcing plate 305 can be pulled by the outer shell 1 to pass the data cable on the drone plug through the hole on the connecting plate 303, thus connecting the drone plug to the charging interface. After connection, the operator releases the pull ring 11. At this time, the reinforcing plate 305 and the connecting plate 303 will press the drone plug under the action of the second spring 304 and the first spring 302, thereby increasing the tightness of the connection between the drone plug and the charging interface. After the drone is fully charged, the charging interface can be sealed by the protective plate 403, the reinforcing plate 305, and the connecting plate 303 to protect the charging interface.
