Further, one end of the restorable elastic piece is disposed on the shell, and the other end of the restorable elastic piece contacts the clamp button.
Further, the restorable elastic piece is mirror symmetric and has an S-shape, one end of the restorable piece clips to the shell and an arc surface of the other end abuts against a lower surface of the clamp button.
Preferably, the number of the clamp button is at least two, the at least two clamp buttons are respectively disposed on an upper and lower ends of a side of shell that opposite the unmanned aerial vehicle.
According to the second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising:
An unmanned aerial vehicle main body, the unmanned aerial vehicle main body is configured an unmanned aerial vehicle battery compartment, an end face of an opening of the unmanned aerial vehicle battery compartment contacting the shell of the unmanned aerial vehicle battery is configured a clipper detachably connecting with the clamp button.
Further, the surface of the clipper contacting the clamp button has a clasper.
Further, the clipper is disposed on an outer surface of the opening of the battery compartment.
Further, the number of the clipper is at least two, and the at least two clamps are disposed on opposite sides of the opening of the battery compartment respectively.
Further, the unmanned aerial vehicle further comprises any one of the batteries described above.
The technical proposal of this application has following advantages:
According to the unmanned aerial vehicle and battery thereof provided in the embodiments of the present invention, because a clamp button is configured on one end of the shell, the battery is capable of detachably connecting with the main body of the unmanned aerial vehicle which makes the changing of the battery be more convenient.
As a preferable technical proposal, the inner side of the clamp button is configured a restorable elastic piece for realizing the clamp button returning back to original place automatically.
Many aspects of the embodiments or related arts can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. Obviously, the following drawings are some of embodiments of the present invention. The person having ordinary skill in the art can obtain other drawings according to the following drawings on the premise of no creative work being paid.
The technical solution in the present invention will herein after be described clearly with the drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are some of all the possible embodiments of the present invention, not all the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments described below, the embodiments obtained by a person having ordinary skill in the art with no creative work are belong to the present invention.
In the following description of the present invention, unless there is an another expressly definition, the term “install”, “connected” or “connecting” should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it could be interpreted as fixed connection or detachable connection, even integral connection. It also could be interpreted as direct connection or indirect connection. The person having ordinary skill in the art could understand specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention according to specific circumstance.
Moreover, the technical features involved in different embodiments described below in the present invention can be combined as long as there is no conflict between each other.
A battery used for an unmanned aerial vehicle is disclosed in this embodiment for realizing the detachable connection between the unmanned aerial vehicle battery 2 and the main body 1 of the unmanned aerial vehicle which is convenient for the changing of the battery. Referring to
In preferable embodiment, the battery 2 used for the unmanned aerial vehicle further includes a restorable elastic piece 222 for realizing the clamp button 221 returning to original position automatically. Referring to
In some embodiments, the end 222a of the restorable elastic piece 222 can be disposed on the shell 22 and abuts against the shell 22, the other end of the restorable elastic piece 222b contacts the clamp button 221 and is fixed with the clamp button 221. In other embodiments, the end 222a of the restorable elastic piece 222 can be fixed with the shell 22 and the other end 222b can be abut against the clamp button 221.
Referring to
In preferable embodiment, the restorable elastic pieces 222 are mirror symmetric and have an S-shape for better stuck in the inner side of the clamp button 221. One end 222a of the restorable elastic piece 222 is stuck in the shell 22, for example, the end 222a of the restorable elastic piece 222 which stuck in the shell can be pressed by the end 221a of the clamp button 221 which contacts this end; an arc surface 222c of the other end 222b of the restorable elastic piece 222 contacts the lower surface of the clamp button 221 which makes the restorable elastic piece 222 better provide a driving force of returning to original place to the clamp button 221.
The unmanned aerial vehicle battery disclosed in this embodiment, because of the clamping button 221 configured on the upper and lower ends of the shell 22, the clamp button 221 can be pressed down and moved inwards and is capable of returning to the original place automatically under the function of the restorable elastic piece 222 after hands are loosen. Therefore, realizing the detachably connection between the unmanned aerial vehicle battery and the main body of the unmanned aerial vehicle which is convenient for the changing of the battery.
In specific embodiment, when install the unmanned aerial vehicle battery 2 to the main body 1 of the unmanned aerial vehicle, put the battery 2 on the opening of the battery compartment 11 and push the battery 2 into the battery compartment 11, and the clamp buttons 221 will press down the restorable elastic pieces 222 under the extrusion of the upper and lower clippers 12 of the battery compartment 11, the battery 2 will be pushed into the battery compartment 11, referring to
Apparently, embodiments described above are only for illustrating the present invention clearly, not intent to limit the present invention. For a person having ordinary skill, various changes and alterations can be made based on above embodiments.
