Drone and battery exchange system thereof
A drone includes a frame and a battery. The frame has a battery accommodation groove. The battery accommodation groove includes a first positioning component and a second positioning component. The first positioning component and the second positioning component are staggered along a first direction. The battery is received within the battery accommodation groove. The battery has a first positioning portion and a second positioning portion. The first positioning portion is matched with the first positioning component, and the second positioning portion is matched with the second positioning component. Therefore, an automatic exchange of batteries along the first direction can be implemented, and the advantages of reducing costs of space, time, and manpower can be achieved.
1. A drone, comprising:
a frame having a battery accommodation groove, wherein the battery accommodation groove comprises a first positioning component and a second positioning component, and the first positioning component and the second positioning component are staggered along a first direction; and
a battery received within the battery accommodation groove, wherein the battery has a first positioning portion and a second positioning portion, the first positioning portion is matched with the first positioning component, and the second positioning portion is matched with the second positioning component, wherein the battery has an electrode region, the electrode region has at least one positive electrode, at least one negative electrode, and at least one identification component, and the positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the identification component are overlapped with each other or separately disposed with each other.
2. The drone according to claim 1 , wherein the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion are point-symmetric or line-symmetric with each other relative to a center of the battery.
3. The drone according to claim 1 , wherein the frame further has a guide rail, and the guide rail is disposed in the battery accommodation groove along the first direction.
4. The drone according to claim 1 , wherein the first positioning component comprises a first spring and a first conical frustum, the second positioning component comprises a second spring and a second conical frustum, each of the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion is a recess, and when the battery is received by the battery accommodation groove, the first spring provides elasticity to make the first conical frustum be received within the first positioning portion and abutted against the first positioning portion, and the second spring provides elasticity to make the second conical frustum be received within the second positioning portion and abutted against the second position portion.
5. The drone according to claim 1 , wherein the battery accommodation groove comprises a plurality of metal plate springs, and when the battery is received by the battery accommodation groove, the plate springs are respectively abutted against the positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the identification component.
6. The drone according to claim 1 , wherein the battery is changeably received within the battery accommodation groove along the first direction or a reverse direction of the first direction.
