The power connection device 230 is fixedly connected to the body 211 and is used as a connection medium between the body 210 and the power system 100 . The position of the power connection device 230 on the vehicle body 211 is not limited. In order to facilitate the vehicle 200 to have both land driving capabilities and flight capabilities, the power connection device 230 is disposed at the bottom of the vehicle body 211 . The connection methods between the power connection device 230 and the vehicle body 211 include but are not limited to: one-piece connection (for example, both are made of the same material by stamping, casting, etc.), welding connection (for example, both are made of metal or other weldable materials) Made and welded to form a connection structure), mechanical connectors (for example, the two are connected through a threaded structure, threaded fasteners or snap-on structure). In this embodiment, the power connection device 230 includes a base 231 and the above-mentioned adapter interface 232. The base 231 can be made of strong and relatively lightweight materials, such as copper alloy, magnesium alloy and other materials. The base 231 is fixed to the bottom of the vehicle body 211 , and the connection between the base 231 and the vehicle body 211 can be through an integrally formed connection or/and a welded connection or/and a threaded fastener connection.

The adaptation interface 232 is provided on the base 231 and is used to install the power system 100 . The number of the adapting interfaces 232 may be multiple, and the plurality of adapting interfaces 232 may be arranged on the base 231 at intervals to increase the load-carrying capacity of the power connection device 230 . In this embodiment, the number of the adaptation interfaces 232 is four, and the four adaptation interfaces 232 are arranged in a substantially rectangular array on the base 231 . Of course, in some embodiments, the base 231 can be omitted, and the adapter interface 232 can be directly provided at the bottom of the vehicle body 211 .

The threaded sleeve 2323 is provided with internal threads inside, and the internal threads are used to connect with the disassembly and assembly interface 18 of the power system 100 . Since the connection between the adapter interface 232 and the disassembly interface 18 bears most of the load of the connection between the body 210 and the power system 100 , the internal thread can be configured with a higher load-bearing capacity, such as a trapezoidal thread. Or zigzag thread, etc. One end of the limiting hook 2325 is rotatably connected to the threaded sleeve 2323 or the fixing post 2321 or the base 231, and the other end can be roughly hook-shaped and used to adapt to the limiting structure on the disassembly and assembly interface 18, for example The limiting hook 2325 can hook the boss or groove on the detachable interface 18 to increase the connection strength between the adapting interface 232 and the detachable interface 18 . The limit hook 2325 can be driven and locked by a corresponding driving member. For example, after the threaded sleeve 2323 is screwed into place with the disassembly and assembly interface 18, the driving member drives the limit hook 2325 to rotate and engage with the structure of the disassembly and assembly interface 18. Thereby, the disassembly and assembly interface 18 is fixed to the adapting interface 232; wherein, the driving element can be any one of the driving elements such as a rotating motor, a steering gear, and a cylinder. The number of limiting hooks 2325 may be multiple. The plurality of limiting hooks 2325 are arranged around the outer periphery of the threaded sleeve 2323 in order to improve the load-bearing capacity of the adapter interface 232 .

It should be understood that this embodiment provides a possible example of the adaptation interface 232, but in specific applications, the adaptation interface 232 can also be implemented through other structures.

Realized, it is used to firmly connect the disassembly and assembly interface 18 and the adaptation interface 232 by means of magnetic adsorption of the disassembly and assembly interface 18 or/and the corresponding structure of the power system 100 . Therefore, in the actual application scenario of the solution of the present application, the various structural descriptions and illustrations of the adaptation interface 232 provided by the embodiments of the present application should not be used to limit its scope or actual structure. According to the content disclosed in the specification, it is conceivable that other detachable connection structures between two components can be applied here to realize the detachable connection between the adapter interface 232 and the detachable interface 18 .

The first electrical interface 235 is electrically connected to the electrical system 217 and is used as an intermediary interface for electrical connection between the body 210 and the power system 100. Communication signals and current signals from the body 210 (such as the control system 215, the electrical system 217, etc.) are transmitted to the power system 100. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first electrical interface 235 can be provided on the base 231 or the adapter interface 232 , and the electrical system 217 is electrically connected between the operating system 215 and the first electrical interface 235 .

In the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle 100 may be configured with one power system 100 , or may be configured with multiple (such as two or more) power systems 100 of different types. For example, when the number of power systems 100 is multiple At this time, the plurality of power systems 100 include any two or more of the following power systems: land power systems, flight power systems, and water power systems. At this time, the power connection device 230 is selectively connected to one of the plurality of power systems 100 through the adapter interface 232, so that the vehicle 200 can achieve the corresponding driving capability without having to install multiple different power systems on the body at the same time. , it can also ensure that the weight of the vehicle 200 is relatively small and the space it occupies is small. Therefore, it is beneficial to improve the airborne time, endurance and range of the vehicle 200 in flight, and it is also beneficial to broaden its application scenarios; it is also beneficial to improve The comfort and maneuverability of the vehicle 200 when traveling on land.

The disassembly and assembly interface 18 may have an external thread connection structure, and the external thread connection structure is used to be threaded with the internal thread of the adapter interface 232. Correspondingly, the external threads of the disassembly and assembly interface 18 may select a thread configuration with a higher load-bearing capacity. , for example, it can be set as trapezoidal thread or zigzag thread. The disassembly and assembly interface 18 may also be provided with an outer flange structure or structures such as protrusions and grooves adapted to the limiting hook 2325 .
