The following is described in detail by way of specific examples:

fig. 1 is a schematic view of a locking assembly in an unlocked state according to an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 2 is a schematic view of a locking assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention in a locked state; fig. 5 is a schematic view of an unlocking state of the machine body and the battery of the movable platform provided in the embodiment of the present invention; fig. 6 is a schematic view of a locking state of the body and the battery of the movable platform according to the embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1-2 and 5-6, the present embodiment provides a locking assembly for locking a second body 200 on a first body 100, wherein the first body 100 has a receiving cavity X for receiving the second body 200. The locking assembly provided by the embodiment can be applied to movable platforms such as unmanned aerial vehicles, electric vehicles, sweeping robots, etc., the first body 100 can be a machine body of the above machines, and the second body 200 can be a battery for supplying power to the machines.

The receiving chamber X may have an opening, and the second body 200 may be escaped from the receiving chamber X through the opening and may be inserted into the receiving chamber X through the opening. When the second body 200 is a battery, a power supply terminal in butt joint with the battery is further arranged in the accommodating cavity X, a power supply port is arranged on the battery, the power supply port is in butt joint with the power supply terminal, and the butt joint state of the battery and the power supply terminal is maintained through the locking assembly, so that the power supply stability is ensured.

Of course, it is understood that the first body 100 and the second body 200 may be two other components that need to be locked with respect to each other, and the embodiment is not particularly limited.

The present embodiment provides a locking assembly 300 with simple structure and convenient operation, which can lock the second body 200 on the first body 100, wherein the locking assembly 300 comprises: a knob 10 and an abutting means 20. The knob 10 is disposed on the first body 100, and the knob 10 can rotate around an axis relative to the first body 100. Specifically, the knob 10 may be directly provided to the first body 100, and the knob 10 may be indirectly provided to the first body 100 through an intermediate connecting member. The first body 100 may be connected with a connecting shaft, the knob 10 may be sleeved outside the connecting shaft and may rotate around the axis of the connecting shaft, or the knob 10 may have a cylindrical body, and the cylindrical body and the first body 100 are in sliding fit with each other, so that the cylindrical body may rotate, and the knob 10 may rotate around the virtual central axis of the cylindrical body when rotating.

The abutting device 20 is movably disposed between the knob 10 and the first body 100. Specifically, the propping device 20 can move along the rotation central axis of the knob 10, and the knob 10 can rotate to drive the propping device 20 to move. In a specific embodiment, a contact surface of the knob 10, which is in contact with the abutting device 20, may be an inclined surface or an arc surface, and when the knob 10 rotates, a circumferential acting force of the knob 10 may be partially decomposed into an acting force along an axial direction through decomposition of the contact surface of the inclined surface or the arc surface, so that the abutting device 20 is driven to move when the knob 10 rotates.

The abutting device 20 is used for applying an elastic abutting force far away from the first body 100 to the knob 10 in the rotating process of the knob 10; the propping device 20 may have elasticity, and when the knob 10 rotates clockwise, the propping device 20 is driven to move toward the first body 100, and when the knob 10 rotates counterclockwise, the propping device 20 may move toward the direction away from the first body 100 under the action of its own elastic restoring force.

It should be noted that, during the specific design, the knob 10 may be axially limited, so that the knob 10 can only rotate in the circumferential direction, and the axial position of the knob may not change, and in the process of switching from the locking state to the unlocking state, the knob 10 is always in contact with the second body 200. During the movement of the abutting device 20, the contact surface of the knob 10 contacting the abutting device 20 is changed continuously, so that the abutting device 20 can move.

No matter what angle the knob 10 rotates to, the abutting device 20 can always contact with the knob 10, but the contact surface changes, and further, fig. 8 is a schematic structural diagram of the abutting device of the locking assembly according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 8, the abutting device 20 may have a guiding surface 221 thereon, and the knob 10 has a mating surface (not shown), and during the rotation of the knob 10, the guiding surface 221 is matched with the mating surface to abut against the abutting device 20 while the knob 10 rotates. Specifically, the guide surface 221 may be a curved surface or a sloped surface. Thus, during the process of applying the rotational torque force to the knob 10 by the user, the external force in the circumferential direction has a component in the axial direction so as to push the abutting device 20. The movement of the propping device 20 causes the elastic propping force of the knob 10 applied by the propping device 20 to change, and the elastic member 22 can be continuously compressed.

In a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, 6 and 8, the resisting device 20 has a first contact surface 22a and a second contact surface 22b, and the guide surface 221 is connected between the first contact surface 22a and the second contact surface 22 b. In the unlocked state, the lower surface of the knob 10 is in contact with the first contact surface 22a, and in the locked state, the lower surface of the knob 10 is in contact with the second contact surface 22b, with the first contact surface 22a being higher than the second contact surface 22 b. For convenience of description, the direction away from the first body 100 may be taken as up, and the direction close to the first body 100 may be taken as down.

The knob 10 is rotated from the top end to the bottom end of the guide surface 221 in the process of rotating from the unlocked state shown in fig. 5 to the locked state shown in fig. 6, and the knob 10 is rotated from the bottom end to the top end of the guide surface 221 in the process of rotating from the locked state to the unlocked state.

In addition, the propping device 20 can have a plug 23 for inserting into the first body 100, and during the movement of the propping device 20, the position of the plug 23 in the first body 100 changes, so that a position sensing device for sensing the position of the plug 23 can be arranged in the first body 100 to determine the state of the locking assembly.

The knob 10 is rotated to switch the locking assembly 300 between the locked state and the unlocked state; in the locked state, the knob 10 abuts against and fixes the second body 200 in the accommodating cavity X, and in the unlocked state, the knob 10 is retracted from the second body 200. In the unlocked state, the second body 200 can be freely inserted into or withdrawn from the receiving cavity X.

Generally, in order to improve the reliability of the operation of the machine, two or more batteries can be arranged in the machine, so that at least one battery is used as a backup battery, and the backup battery can be used for supplying power when the battery is exhausted or fails. When the battery supplies power, the battery needs to be locked through the locking assembly so as to ensure the stability of the electrical connection of the battery. Alternatively, in other application scenarios, the second ontology 200 has at least two. As shown in fig. 5 and 6, taking the second bodies 200 as an example for illustration, the first body 100 may have two accommodating cavities X arranged side by side, one second body 200 is correspondingly arranged in each accommodating cavity X, the two accommodating cavities X may be separated by an intermediate side wall X1, and the locking assembly 300 may be arranged on the intermediate side wall X1 and preferably located at a middle position of the intermediate side wall X1, so as to ensure the force balance of the two second bodies 200 to the greatest extent.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 6, the knob 10 may include support arms 11, the support arms 11 are used to support against the second bodies 200, the number of the support arms 11 is equal to the number of the second bodies 200, and each support arm 11 supports against one second body 200 correspondingly.

The at least two second bodies 200 may be uniformly arranged, the knob 10 may be located at a middle position surrounded by the at least two second bodies 200, and an included angle between every two adjacent second bodies 200 is equal to an included angle between every two adjacent support arms 11 of the knob. Specifically, for example, there may be two second bodies 200, two arms 11 of the knob 10, and two second bodies 200 are juxtaposed, and the angle between the two arms 11 of the knob 10 is substantially 180 °. Wherein substantially 180 is meant to allow for certain machining or assembly tolerances, for example, an angle of 175 to 185 between the two arms 11 is understood to be substantially 180. That is, the knob 10 is substantially in a straight line shape, and the knob 10 has a central symmetry structure, so that the two support arms 11 are symmetrically located at the two second bodies 200 no matter how the knob 10 rotates, thereby simultaneously locking and unlocking the two second bodies 200.

It can be understood that when there are more than two second bodies 200, the plurality of second bodies 200 can be uniformly arranged, and the included angle between every two adjacent second bodies 200 is α, and the included angle between every two adjacent support arms 11 on the knob 10 is also α. For example, three second bodies 200 are arranged at 120 ° to each other, the number of the arms 11 of the knob 10 may be three, and the included angle between each two adjacent arms 11 of the three arms is 120 °. This also enables simultaneous locking and unlocking of the respective second bodies 200 by the knob 10.

It is understood that the number of the second bodies 200 and the number of the arms 11 of the knob 10 are not limited to two or three, and may be other numbers. This embodiment is not intended to be exemplary.

Preferably, the knob 10 is rotated by an angle of substantially 90 ° during the switching of the locked state and the unlocked state of the knob 10. For example, from the unlocked state of fig. 5 to the locked state of fig. 6, the knob 10 is rotated from the vertical position to the horizontal position. Wherein, substantially 90 ° means that a certain processing or assembling error can be allowed, and the rotating angle of the knob 10 can be in the range of 85 ° to 95 °. This maximizes the stability of the locking of the knob 10.

When the two second bodies 200 are arranged in the left-right direction, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the knob 10 is in the unlocked state when it is vertical, and the knob 10 is in the locked state when it is horizontal. When the two second bodies 200 are arranged up and down, the knob 10 is in a locked state when being vertical, and the knob 10 is in an unlocked state when being horizontal.

It is understood, of course, that in the positions other than the unlocking position, as illustrated in fig. 5 and 6, the locking assembly 300 is in the intermediate locking position before the knob 10 reaches the horizontal position, and likewise the second body 20 cannot be extracted from the housing chamber X.

In other embodiments, during the switching process between the locked state and the unlocked state, the angle rotated by the knob 10 may not be limited to 90 °, for example, the knob 10 is in the unlocked state when in the vertical position, the locking of the locking assembly 300 may also be achieved when the knob 10 is rotated by a small angle, and the rotation of the knob 10 by any angle such as 30 °, 45 °, 60 ° may achieve the locking of the second body 200.

In some optional embodiments, fig. 9 is a schematic view of an unlocking state of the body and the battery of another movable platform provided in the embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 10 is a schematic view of a locking state between a machine body and a battery of another movable platform according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 9, the locking assembly 300 may be disposed above the first body 100, and the knob 10 may have a V-shape, as shown in fig. 10, when the knob 10 is rotated 180 °, the two second bodies 200 can be blocked from coming out of the accommodating cavity X, and the second bodies 200 are abutted against and fixed in the accommodating cavity X. Of course, in other embodiments, the locking assembly 300 may be disposed below the first body 100.

In addition, the length of the support arm 11 of the knob 10 can be as long as possible, so that a larger torque can be output to overcome the elastic propping force of the propping device 20, and labor-saving unlocking and locking operations can be realized.

The embodiment of the utility model provides a locking subassembly is used for locking the second body on first body, rotates locking state or the unblock state who switches locking subassembly, simple structure, convenient operation through the knob. The elastic propping force far away from the first body is applied to the knob through the propping device, so that in the rotating process, the friction force between the knob and the second body is reduced, the hand feeling is improved, and due to the design of the propping device, in the switching process from the locking state to the unlocking state, a user can rotate the knob to the unlocking state only by overcoming the propping force of the propping device, so that the locking safety is improved, therefore, the locking safety is ensured while the rotating operation hand feeling is improved, the second body is not easy to be separated from the first body, in particular, for a battery and an unmanned aerial vehicle body, in the flying process of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the battery can be stably electrically connected with the unmanned aerial vehicle body, the power supply stability is ensured, and the accident rate of the unmanned aerial vehicle is reduced.

In this embodiment, further, in the process of switching from the locked state to the unlocked state, the knob 10 may push the abutting device 20 to move toward the first body 100, and the abutting force applied by the abutting device 20 to the knob 10 is gradually increased. Thus, if a user needs to unlock the locking assembly and switch from the locked state to the unlocked state, a large torque force needs to be applied, so that the locking stability of the second body 200 (for example, a battery) is effectively ensured.
