Integrated Battery Connection Port for UAV Power and Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional battery devices for UAVs have complex structures due to separate power and data connection ports, making them inconvenient to attach or remove from UAVs.
Innovation Solution
A compact battery device with a housing containing an electric core assembly, a control circuit board, and a connection port with integrated power and data pins for charging, discharging, and monitoring, facilitating easy connection and disconnection, and providing real-time battery status feedback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate ports are used for power supply and data connection, then power transmission and data communication functions are independent, but the battery structure becomes complicated and attachment/removal becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines separate power supply and data connection ports into a single integrated connection port. The connection port includes multiple pins that simultaneously handle power transmission (charging/discharging) and data communication (battery parameter output), thereby simplifying the battery structure while maintaining independent functional capabilities.
2Adaptability or versatility
If separate ports are used for power supply and data connection, then functional independence is maintained, but attachment and removal convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By merging power and data connections into a single port, the battery achieves both functional independence (through multiple pins handling different functions) and operational ease (through a single attachment point). The integrated design allows the battery to be attached or removed as one unit while maintaining separate power and data pathways.

AI summary
A battery device comprises a housing, an electric core assembly enclosed within the housing, a control circuit board electrically coupled to the electric core assembly and for generating at least one battery parameter indicative of an operation status of the electric core assembly, and a connection port disposed on a front wall of the housing. The connection port comprises a set of power pins coupled to the electric core assembly and for charging or discharging the electric core assembly; and a set of data connection pins coupled to the control circuit board and for outputting the at least one battery parameter from the control circuit board.
