Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery management technology, and more specifically, to a battery and a drone. Background Technology

[0002] In portable electronic devices and rechargeable batteries, real-time battery level display is a frequent user requirement, allowing users to promptly monitor battery status and plan charging or replacement. Currently, the implementation of battery level display functionality in related technologies mainly relies on physical button interaction schemes, that is, by setting physical buttons on the battery casing, users can trigger the level display by clicking the button.

[0003] However, since the physical button is rigidly connected to the power supply circuit, if the battery is squeezed by external force, the button may remain conductive, causing abnormal battery discharge or even leakage, which poses a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above, the present invention provides a battery, comprising: a power supply module electrically connected to a battery cell, the power supply module being used to connect to a load and to control the power supply of the battery cell based on the connection status with the load; a first interaction module being used to send a first interaction signal to an indicator module in response to a first interaction operation when the power supply module is not connected to the load; and the indicator module including a display panel being used to display the battery cell's charge level on the display panel in response to the first interaction signal.

[0005] Another aspect of this utility model provides a drone, comprising: a drone payload, a second interaction module, and at least one battery as described above, wherein the drone payload is electrically connected to the power supply module of each of the at least one battery.

[0006] According to an embodiment of this utility model, the first interaction module is activated only when the load is not connected, and the indicator module displays the cell power level solely based on the first interaction signal. This allows for rapid acquisition of the battery status without connecting the load, reducing battery power consumption and improving efficiency. Furthermore, since the power supply module only conducts the main circuit when the load is connected, the battery only displays the cell power level without connecting the load when it is not connected, thus avoiding the risk of accidental triggering or discharge due to external pressure or other reasons.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0023] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The terms “comprising,” “including,” etc., as used herein indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.

[0025] When using expressions such as "at least one of A, B, and C," the meaning should generally be interpreted according to the understanding of someone skilled in the art. For example, "a system having at least one of A, B, and C" should include, but is not limited to, systems having A alone, having B alone, having C alone, having A and B, having A and C, having B and C, and / or having A, B, and C. Similarly, when using expressions such as "at least one of A, B, or C," the meaning should generally be interpreted according to the understanding of someone skilled in the art. For example, "a system having at least one of A, B, or C" should include, but is not limited to, systems having A alone, having B alone, having C alone, having A and B, having A and C, having B and C, and / or having A, B, and C.

[0026] It should also be noted that the directional terms mentioned in the embodiments, such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," and "right," are only for reference in the accompanying drawings and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Throughout the drawings, the same elements are represented by the same or similar reference numerals. Conventional structures or constructions will be omitted where they may cause confusion in understanding this utility model.

[0027] In the fields of portable electronic devices and rechargeable batteries, real-time display of battery power is a frequent user requirement, allowing users to keep track of battery status and plan charging or replacement operations.

[0028] Currently, the implementation of battery power display functions in related technologies mainly relies on physical button interaction schemes. This involves placing a physical button on the battery casing, which the user clicks to trigger the power display. This scheme connects the button to the battery's internal circuitry via hardwired connections. When the button is pressed, the circuit is activated, driving indicator modules such as LEDs or digital displays to show the power level.

[0029] However, since the physical button is rigidly connected to the power supply circuit, if the battery is squeezed by external force, the button may remain conductive, causing abnormal battery discharge or even leakage, which poses a safety hazard.

[0030] Therefore, in this invention, the first interaction module is activated only when the load is not connected, and it controls the indicator module to display the cell charge level solely based on the first interaction signal. This allows for rapid acquisition of the battery status without connecting the load, reducing battery power consumption and improving efficiency. Furthermore, since the power supply module only conducts the main circuit when the load is connected, the battery only displays the cell charge level when the load is not connected, thus avoiding the risk of accidental triggering or discharge due to external pressure or other reasons.

[0031] Specifically, this utility model provides a battery, including: a power supply module electrically connected to a battery cell, the power supply module being used to connect to a load and to control the power supply of the battery cell based on the connection status with the load; a first interaction module being used to send a first interaction signal to an indicator module in response to a first interaction operation when the power supply module is not connected to the load; and an indicator module including a display panel being used to display the battery cell's charge level on the display panel in response to the first interaction signal.

[0032] The following is for reference. Figure 1 The battery proposed in this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0033] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a battery structure according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the battery includes a power supply module 11, a first interaction module 12, and an indicator module 13.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first end of the power supply module 11 is electrically connected to the battery cell, and the second end of the power supply module 11 is connected to the load.

[0036] The power supply module 11 may include a power management unit, or have an internally integrated power management unit. The power supply module 11 can control the power supply to the battery cells by detecting the connection status of the load, such as whether a device is plugged in or whether a communication handshake has been established.

[0037] For example, the power supply module 11 can determine whether a load is connected by detecting changes in the voltage or current of the load interface. When the load is not connected, the power supply module 11 can reduce battery power consumption by cutting off the main power supply circuit and retaining only a small current to keep the first interaction module 12 and / or the indicator module 13 in sleep or standby mode.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first interaction module 12 is electrically connected to the battery cell and is signal connected to the power supply module 11 and the indicator module 13, respectively.

[0039] The power supply module 11 can send a load connection status signal to the first interaction module 12, so that the first interaction module 12 can determine whether to trigger an interaction operation.

[0040] When the load connection status signal indicates that the power supply module is not connected to the load, the first interaction module 12 is activated. When the first interaction module 12 detects the first interaction operation, it sends the first interaction signal to the indicator module 13 through the first interaction operation to trigger the power display.

[0041] When the first interaction module 12 does not detect the first interaction operation, the first interaction module 12 is in a hibernation or standby state to reduce battery power consumption.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first interactive operation may include a contactless interactive operation, such as capacitive touch, motion sensing, etc.

[0043] In this embodiment, the indicator module 13 is electrically connected to the battery cell and is signal connected to the power supply module 11 and the first interaction module 12, respectively.

[0044] When the indicator module 13 receives the first interaction signal, it displays the battery cell's charge level.

[0045] Specifically, the indicator module 13 may include a display panel that can communicate with the power supply module 11 via a signal interface to obtain real-time voltage and / or current data of the battery cell and display the battery cell's charge in the form of numbers, icons, or bar graphs.

[0046] In another specific embodiment, the display panel can also display battery health status and / or temperature information, etc. The display panel may include light-emitting diodes (LEDs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), liquid crystal displays (LCDs), etc.

[0047] Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, the first interaction module is activated only when the load is not connected, and it controls the indicator module to display the cell power level solely based on the first interaction signal. This allows for rapid acquisition of the battery status without connecting the load, reducing battery power consumption and improving efficiency. Furthermore, since the power supply module only conducts the main circuit when the load is connected, the battery only displays the cell power level without connecting the load when it is not connected, thus avoiding the risk of accidental triggering or discharge due to external force or pressure.

[0048] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first interaction module includes: a touch unit for triggering an attribute change in response to a first interaction operation; and a sensing unit for detecting the attributes of the touch unit, and generating a first interaction signal and sending the first interaction signal to the indication module when it is determined that the touch unit is in a touch state based on the attributes of the touch unit.

[0049] The first interactive operation can represent a physical action applied by the touch object to trigger the battery's interactive functions. This first interactive operation may include, but is not limited to, physical operations such as touching, pressing, sliding, and tapping.

[0050] The attributes of the touch unit can represent physical parameters that change due to the first interactive operation, such as, but not limited to, capacitance, resistance, and degree of deformation.

[0051] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a battery structure according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, the first interaction module 12 includes a touch unit 121 and a sensing unit 122. One end of the touch unit 121 is electrically connected to the battery cell, and the other end is signal-connected to the sensing unit 122 to transmit attribute change signals. One end of the sensing unit 122 is electrically connected to the battery cell, and the other end is signal-connected to both the touch unit 121 and the indicator module 13 to receive attribute change signals from the touch unit 121 and send a first interaction signal to the indicator module 13.

[0053] In this specific embodiment, the touch unit 121 can be configured to trigger a change in its own attributes in response to a physical action applied by the touch object.

[0054] The sensing unit 122 can be configured to monitor the attribute changes of the touch unit 121 in real time. When the attribute change of the touch unit 121 is detected to meet the preset conditions, the touch unit 121 is determined to be in the touch state and a first interaction signal is generated and sent to the indication module 13.

[0055] Based on this, the embodiments of this utility model realize touch interaction without mechanical contacts by using the sensing unit in the first interaction module to detect changes in the physical properties of the touch unit in real time, which has high reliability and does not require complex circuits.

[0056] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the attributes of the touch unit include the capacitance value of the touch unit; wherein, the sensing unit is used to detect the capacitance value of the touch unit, and determines that the touch unit is in a touch state when the capacitance value deviates from a preset capacitance value range.

[0057] In this embodiment, the attributes of the touch unit include capacitance value, and the preset capacitance value range can be determined based on the reference capacitance value when there is no touch.

[0058] In this embodiment, the sensing unit can determine whether the touch unit is in a touch state by detecting changes in the capacitance value of the touch unit.

[0059] For example, if the touch unit does not respond to the first interactive operation, or if the first interactive operation does not trigger a change in the touch unit's attributes, the capacitance value detected by the sensing unit should be within a preset capacitance value range. If the touch unit responds to the first interactive operation and the first interactive operation triggers a change in the touch unit's attributes (such as an increase in capacitance due to finger touch), the capacitance value detected by the sensing unit deviates from the preset capacitance value range, and in this case, it can be determined that the touch unit is in a touch state.

[0060] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the touch unit includes a substrate, a dielectric layer, a metal sensing disk, and a touch panel; wherein, a metal region is provided on the surface of the substrate opposite to the dielectric layer, and the orthographic projection of the metal sensing disk on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the metal region, so that the substrate, the dielectric layer, and the metal sensing disk constitute a first capacitor.

[0061] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first interactive operation includes a conductor contacting a touch panel; wherein, upon receiving the first interactive operation, the conductor, the touch panel, and the metal sensing disk constitute a second capacitor, thereby causing a change in the capacitance value of the touch unit.

[0062] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the conductor comprises the skin tissue of the touch object.

[0063] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of a touch unit according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the touch unit may include a four-layer structure, namely a substrate 301, a dielectric layer 302, a metal sensing pad 303, and a touch panel 304.

[0065] The substrate 301 can serve as the underlying support structure for the touch unit. The substrate 301 can be made of an insulating material.

[0066] The dielectric layer 302 can cover the substrate 301 to isolate the substrate 301 from the metal induction disk 303 to prevent short circuits, and can also serve as an insulating dielectric for the capacitor. The dielectric layer 302 can be made of a high dielectric constant material, and its thickness and dielectric constant directly affect the size of the first capacitor.

[0067] In this embodiment, a metal region, such as copper foil or an aluminum layer, is provided on the surface of the substrate 301 opposite to the dielectric layer 302. This metal region can serve as the fixed electrode of the first capacitor, and is capacitively coupled to the upper metal induction disk 303 through the dielectric layer 302.

[0068] The metal induction disk 303 can be located above the dielectric layer 302, and the metal induction disk 303 can be made of a conductive material.

[0069] In this embodiment, the orthographic projection of the metal induction disk 303 on the substrate 301 partially overlaps with the metal area disposed on the substrate 301, so that the metal induction disk 303 serves as the other plate of the first capacitor, ensuring that the substrate 301, the dielectric layer 302 and the metal induction disk 303 form the first capacitor.

[0070] The touch panel 304 can be located above the metal induction pad 303. The touch panel 304 can serve as the interface for the first interactive operation of the touch object. The touch panel 304 can be made of insulating materials such as tempered glass or PET film. The surface of the touch panel 304 can also be covered with an anti-fingerprint coating, an anti-scratch coating, etc.

[0071] Figure 4 The schematic diagram illustrates the capacitor structure of the touch unit according to a specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0072] like Figure 4 As shown, when the touch unit does not receive the first interactive operation, there is no electrical contact between the metal sensing pad 303 and the substrate 301, so that the substrate 301, the dielectric layer 302 and the metal sensing pad 303 constitute the first capacitor C. p In this configuration, the metal region on the opposing surfaces of the substrate 301 and the dielectric layer 302 can serve as the lower electrode of the first capacitor Cp, and the metal induction disk 303 can serve as the first capacitor C. p The upper plate of the capacitor forms a uniform electric field between the two plates. The first capacitor C... p The capacitance values ​​are represented as follows:

[0073] (1)

[0074] In the formula, C p Indicates the first capacitor, A p d represents the area of ​​the parallel region between the two plates, e represents the distance between the two plates, and d represents the distance between the two plates. p This represents the relative permittivity of the dielectric layer.

[0075] Figure 5 The schematic diagram illustrates the capacitor structure of the touch unit according to another specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0076] like Figure 5As shown, when the touch unit responds to receiving a first interactive operation, such as conductor 305 contacting touch panel 304, there is electrical contact between touch panel 304 and metal sensing pad 303, making touch panel 304 act as a second capacitor C. f The capacitor dielectric, conductor 305 serves as the second capacitor C. f One plate, the metal induction disk 303 serves as the second capacitor C f The other electrode plate ensures that conductor 305, touch panel 304, and metal sensor disk 303 constitute a second capacitor C. f Among them, the second capacitor C f The capacitance values ​​are represented as follows:

[0077] (2)

[0078] In the formula, C f Indicates the second capacitor, A f The effective coupling area between the conductor and the metal sensing pad is represented by t, and the thickness of the touch panel is represented by e. f This represents the relative permittivity of the touch panel.

[0079] Figure 6 The diagram illustrates the connection relationship between the touch unit and the sensing unit according to a specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0080] Figure 7 The diagram illustrates the connection relationship between the touch unit and the sensing unit according to another specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0081] In this specific embodiment, the sensing unit can determine that the touch unit is in a touch state by detecting the capacitance value of the touch unit.

[0082] When the touch unit does not respond to the first interactive operation, such as when no conductor is in contact with the touch panel, Figure 6 As shown, the sensing unit can only detect the first capacitor C. p .

[0083] When the touch unit responds to a first interactive operation, such as a conductor touching the touch panel, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first capacitor C f Second capacitor C p The parallel connection causes a change in the capacitance value of the touch unit, and the sensing unit detects the change in capacitance value as C. p +C f This determines that the touch unit is in a touch state and generates a first interaction signal to send to the indicator module.

[0084] Because of actual errors such as the different thickness of people's fingers, it is only necessary to detect whether a button has been pressed by detecting whether the capacitance changes as expected.

[0085] Based on this, in this embodiment of the invention, a stable reference capacitance is formed between the substrate metal region and the metal sensing pad through a high dielectric constant dielectric layer. By adjusting the thickness and overlap area of ​​the dielectric layer, the first capacitance value is ensured to be controllable, providing a reliable baseline for touch detection. When the conductor contacts the touch panel, the touch panel acts as a dielectric, causing the conductor and the metal sensing pad to form an additional second capacitance. After being connected in parallel with the first capacitance, the total capacitance changes significantly and is easy to detect.

[0086] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the sensing unit is used to detect changes in the capacitance value of the touch unit based on changes in the internal oscillation frequency of the sensing unit or changes in the charging and discharging time.

[0087] In one specific embodiment, the sensing unit may integrate an inductor-capacitor resonant circuit. When the capacitance value of the touch unit deviates from a preset capacitance value range, such as the capacitance value decreasing from C... p Change to C p +C f As the capacitance increases, the oscillation frequency decreases. Therefore, the sensing unit can measure the oscillation frequency using a microcontroller or frequency detection chip, and determine the touch state of the touch unit by detecting changes in the oscillation frequency.

[0088] In another specific embodiment, the sensing unit can charge and discharge the capacitor of the touch unit through a resistor. Since the charging and discharging time is proportional to the capacitance value of the touch unit, when the capacitance value of the touch unit deviates from the preset capacitance value range, such as the capacitance value from C... p Change to C p +C f As the capacitance increases, the charging and discharging time is extended. Therefore, the sensing unit can determine the touch state of the touch unit by detecting changes in the charging and discharging time.

[0089] Therefore, in this invention, since changes in the capacitance of the touch unit can cause a significant shift in the oscillation frequency, the sensing unit can improve detection sensitivity by detecting changes in the internal oscillation frequency to determine the touch state of the touch unit, even under conditions of low contact force, such as when wearing gloves. Since increased capacitance leads to a longer charging and discharging time, the sensing unit can also detect changes in the charging and discharging time to determine the touch state of the touch unit, thereby improving detection reliability.

[0090] Furthermore, in this invention, the charging and discharging circuit can be activated only during the detection cycle, for example, waking up 10 times per second, or using an intermittent oscillation frequency detection mode, such as working for 100ms per second and sleeping for 900ms per second, to reduce standby power consumption.

[0091] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first interaction module includes: a motion sensor, used to acquire motion information of the battery, and when it is determined based on the motion information that the battery is in a shaking state, triggering a first interaction operation, and in response to the first interaction operation, generating a first interaction signal and sending the first interaction signal to the indication module.

[0092] In this embodiment, the motion sensor is not limited to accelerometers, gyroscopes, or other devices that detect motion information, but is used to collect the battery's motion information in real time. The motion information may include, for example, acceleration, direction, and angular changes.

[0093] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of a battery structure according to another specific embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0094] like Figure 8 As shown, the first interaction module 12 also includes a motion sensor 123.

[0095] In this embodiment, it can be determined whether the battery is shaking by analyzing changes in motion information.

[0096] For example, when a touch object picks up the battery and shakes it, based on the motion information collected by the motion sensor 123, it is determined whether the shaking characteristics such as the amplitude of the shaking, the shaking frequency, or the shaking duration exceed the threshold condition. If any shaking characteristic exceeds the threshold condition, it can be determined that the battery is currently in a shaking state, and the touch object and the battery are currently in a valid interaction.

[0097] In another specific embodiment, the battery can be determined to be in a shaking state if at least two shaking features exceed the threshold condition, or if all shaking features exceed the preset condition, and the touch object and the battery are currently in a valid interaction, so as to avoid misjudgment caused by daily vibrations such as transportation bumps.

[0098] When the motion sensor 123 detects that the battery is shaking, it generates a first interaction signal, which is transmitted to the indicator module 13 to drive the display panel to display the battery cell's charge level.

[0099] Therefore, in this invention, no physical buttons or touchscreen are required; users can trigger interactive functions through natural movements to enhance the user experience. Furthermore, since the motion sensor consumes very little power in standby mode, the indicator module can be activated only when a valid movement is detected, thus extending battery life.

[0100] An embodiment of this utility model also provides a drone, including: a drone payload, a second interaction module and at least one battery, wherein the drone payload is electrically connected to the power supply module of each of the at least one battery.

[0101] Figure 9 A schematic diagram of a drone structure according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0102] like Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the drone includes a drone payload 910, a second interaction module 920, and at least one battery 930. The drone payload 910 is electrically connected to a power supply module in each of the at least one battery 930. The second interaction module is signal-connected to the at least one battery 930.

[0103] In this embodiment, the drone payload 910 can represent a functional module that requires power to perform a task. The drone payload 910 includes, but is not limited to, motors, rotors, controllers, sensors, and communication equipment.

[0104] The second interaction module 920 may represent a control unit that receives instructions from the operating object and coordinates the operation of at least one battery 930 and the UAV payload 910. For example, the second interaction module 920 may include a signal processing unit, such as a microcontroller unit (MCU) or a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), and the second interaction module 920 may generate control signals based on the interaction operation.

[0105] At least one battery 930 may include the power supply module, the first interaction module and the indicator module as described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0106] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the drone is in a dormant state, the second interaction module is used to send a second interaction signal to the power supply module and the indicator module of at least one battery in response to the second interaction operation; the power supply module is used to activate the battery cell in response to the second interaction signal so that the cell supplies power to the drone load; and the indicator module is used to display the battery cell's charge level on the battery's display panel in response to the second interaction signal.

[0107] In this embodiment, the drone being in hibernation state can be manifested as the drone's main power supply circuit being disconnected, the drone's load having no power supply, its battery power supply module being in standby mode, the battery cells ceasing to supply power to the drone, only maintaining communication functions and necessary low-power modules to continuously monitor the communication interface and wake-up signal, but not supplying power to the drone's load, the battery indicator module being in standby mode, and the display panel having its backlight turned off, etc.

[0108] In this embodiment, the second interactive operation may include physical buttons, remote control commands, mobile terminal commands, voice control, etc. For example, the user can send commands by touching or pressing the physical buttons on the drone, or by sending commands through the operating interface on a mobile terminal such as an app, or by recognizing a preset wake word.

[0109] In a specific embodiment, when a user triggers an interactive operation by pressing a physical button, short-press and long-press operations can be determined based on duration thresholds. For example, the short-press duration threshold can be configured to 1 second; if the duration of pressing the physical button is less than or equal to 1 second, the interactive operation can be determined to be a short-press operation. The long-press duration threshold can be configured to 3 seconds; if the duration of pressing the physical button is greater than or equal to 3 seconds, the interactive operation can be determined to be a long-press operation. In this invention, no specific limitations are imposed on the short-press duration threshold and the long-press duration threshold.

[0110] Figure 10 The diagram illustrates a drone wake-up process according to a specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0111] like Figure 10 As shown, in a scenario where the drone is in a dormant state and the user briefly presses a physical button on the drone to trigger a second interactive operation, the second interactive module detects the second interactive operation, generates a second interactive signal, and sends the second interactive signal to the power supply module and indicator module of one or more batteries configured on the drone.

[0112] Upon receiving the second interaction signal, the power supply module activates the battery cells to supply power to the drone payload. This ensures the cells only maintain communication functions and necessary low-power modules, without activating the drone payload itself. The indicator module, also upon receiving the second interaction signal, activates the display panel and displays the remaining battery power.

[0113] Based on this, when the drone is in hibernation mode, a short press can trigger the second interactive operation, which does not require starting the drone. It only wakes up the battery power supply module and indicator module to check the battery status, thereby saving power consumption and avoiding the interruption of subsequent drone flights due to insufficient power.

[0114] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second interaction module is further configured to, within a preset time period after triggering the second interaction operation, respond to the third interaction operation by sending a third interaction signal to the power supply module of the drone payload and at least one battery respectively; the power supply module is configured to control the battery cell to continuously supply power in response to the third interaction signal; and the drone payload is configured to start in response to the third interaction signal.

[0115] In this embodiment, the third interactive operation may also include physical buttons, remote control commands, mobile terminal commands, voice control, etc. For example, the user can send commands by touching or pressing the physical buttons on the drone, or by sending commands through the operation interface on a mobile terminal such as an app, or by recognizing a preset wake word.

[0116] Figure 11 The diagram illustrates a drone wake-up process according to another specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0117] like Figure 11 As shown, in a scenario where the drone is in a dormant state and the user, after briefly pressing the drone's physical button to trigger the second interactive operation, presses the same physical button again within a preset time period, such as 5 seconds, to trigger the third interactive operation, the second interactive module detects the third interactive operation, generates a third interactive signal, and sends the third interactive signal to the power supply modules of the drone's payload and one or more batteries configured on the drone.

[0118] The power supply module responds to the receipt of the third interactive signal to control the battery cells to continuously supply power, and the drone load responds to the receipt of the third interactive signal to start the motors, controllers and other drone loads.

[0119] Based on this, when the drone is in sleep mode, a short press triggers a second interactive operation, and a long press within a preset time period triggers a third interactive operation, allowing the battery to continuously output full power so that the drone can enter a flight-ready state, improving energy efficiency. Furthermore, this step-by-step operation avoids accidental touches or accidental starts, thereby enhancing the safety of drone startup.

[0120] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the power supply module is also used to shut down the battery cell if no third interactive signal is received within a preset period after the second interactive operation is triggered.

[0121] Figure 12 The diagram illustrates a drone wake-up process according to yet another specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0122] like Figure 12 As shown, in a scenario where the drone is in hibernation mode and the user triggers the second interactive operation by briefly pressing the drone's physical button, and no third interactive operation is triggered within a preset time period, such as 5 seconds, the second interactive module starts a preset time period timer after detecting the second interactive operation. If no third interactive operation is detected within the preset time period, a power-off signal is generated and sent to the battery power supply module and the indicator module respectively.

[0123] Upon receiving a power outage signal, the power supply module cuts off the battery output, stops supplying power to the drone's payload, and enters a low-power sleep state. The indicator module, upon receiving a power outage signal, turns off the display panel.

[0124] Based on this, when the drone is in hibernation mode, a short press triggers the second interactive operation, and if a long press does not trigger the third interactive operation within a preset time period, the battery cell stops supplying power, thus avoiding continuous battery drain due to accidental short presses and extending battery life.

[0125] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the drone is in a wake-up state, the second interaction module is used to send a second interaction signal to the indication module of the drone payload and at least one battery respectively in response to the second interaction operation; the drone payload is used to shut down in response to the second interaction signal; and the indication module is used to display the battery cell charge on the display panel of the battery in response to the second interaction signal.

[0126] In this embodiment, the drone being in a wake-up state can be manifested as the drone's main power supply circuit being connected, the battery cells continuously supplying power, the drone's load being powered on, the battery indicator module being in wake-up mode, and the display panel being constantly lit.

[0127] Figure 13 The diagram illustrates the shutdown process of a drone according to a specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0128] like Figure 13 As shown, in a scenario where the drone is in a wake-up state and the user briefly presses the drone's physical button to trigger the second interactive operation, the second interactive module detects the second interactive operation, generates a second interactive signal, and sends the second interactive signal to the respective indicator modules of the drone's payload and one or more batteries configured on the drone.

[0129] Upon receiving the second interactive signal, the drone's load cuts off power to components such as motors and controllers, entering a shutdown state. The battery indicator module, in response to the second interactive signal, retrieves the battery cell's charge level from the power supply module and displays the remaining charge level on the display panel.

[0130] Therefore, when the drone is in wake-up mode, a short press triggers a second interactive operation, shutting down the drone's load. However, the battery cells can still keep the drone in a low-power standby mode, thereby reducing power consumption. The remaining battery level is displayed in real-time after the drone's load is shut down, allowing users to quickly check the battery level.

[0131] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second interaction module is further configured to, in response to the third interaction operation, send a third interaction signal to the power supply module of at least one battery within a preset time period after triggering the second interaction operation; and the power supply module is configured to, in response to the third interaction signal, shut down the battery cell to stop the power supply to the cell.

[0132] Figure 14 The diagram illustrates a drone shutdown process according to another specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0133] like Figure 14 As shown, in a scenario where the drone is in a wake-up state and the user, after briefly pressing the drone's physical button to trigger the second interactive operation, presses the same physical button again within a preset time period, such as 5 seconds, to trigger the third interactive operation, the second interactive module detects the third interactive operation, generates a third interactive signal, and sends the third interactive signal to the power supply module and indicator module of one or more batteries configured on the drone.

[0134] Upon receiving the third interactive signal, the power supply module controls the battery cells to cut off power supply. Once the battery cells completely stop supplying power, the drone enters hibernation mode, the display panel turns off, and there is no power level display.

[0135] Based on this, when the drone is in a wake-up state, a short press triggers a second interactive operation, and a long press within a preset time period triggers a third interactive operation. The short press first shuts down the load, and the long press then disconnects the battery cell, preventing accidental power loss during drone flight. Furthermore, upon receiving the third interactive signal, the power supply module completely stops supplying power to the battery cell to meet transportation and storage requirements.

However, these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
