Abstract

The present invention discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle and a battery thereof. The battery includes a battery body and a shell disposed on one end of the battery body. The shell has a clamp button disposed on the side opposite the unmanned aerial vehicle. One end of the clamp button is fixed on the shell and the other is used for detachably connecting with the unmanned aerial vehicle. The clamp button makes the battery detachably connect with the main body of the unmanned aerial vehicle be possible and it is very convenient for changing the battery.

Claims (15)

1. A multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising:

an unmanned aerial vehicle main body comprising a battery compartment;

four arms, wherein each arm is coupled to the main body;

a propulsion assembly disposed on the each arm, wherein the propulsion assembly comprises a propeller and a motor, the motor being configured to drive the propeller to rotate in order to generate lift force;

a battery capable of being accommodated in the battery compartment, the battery comprising a shell and a battery body substantially disposed in the shell;

a clamp button disposed on the shell, wherein a first end of the clamp button is mounted directly or indirectly to the shell and a second end of the clamp button is used for detachably connecting to the unmanned aerial vehicle; the second end of the clamp button being configured with a hook detachably hanging on the unmanned aerial vehicle; and

a restorable elastic piece, wherein a first end of the restorable elastic piece is coupled to the shell and a second end of the restorable elastic piece contacts the clamp button;

wherein the battery compartment comprises a clamping portion configured to detachably connect to the clamp button.

2. The multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein an anti-slip structure is configured on an outer surface between the first end of the clamp button and the second end of the clamp button.

3. The multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the anti-slip structure is a wave shape convex structure.

4. The multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the second end of the restorable elastic piece is fixed with the clamp button.

5. The multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein the first end of the restorable elastic piece is disposed on the shell and abuts against the shell.

6. The multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle according to claim 1 , comprising at least two restorable elastic pieces, the at least two restorable elastic pieces being mirror symmetric and have an S-shape, the first end of the restorable elastic piece being stuck in the shell.

7. The multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the number of the clamp button is at least two, the at least two clamp buttons being configured on an opposite side of the shell.

8. The multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the number of the clamping portion is at least two, the at least two clamping portion being disposed on opposite sides of an opening of the battery compartment.
