A MANUALLY DETACHABLE LOCKING MECHANISM

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/090281

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A manually detachable locking mechanism for connecting parts of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) comprises: a first engaging means (25) associated with a first part of the UAV, a second engaging means (35) associated with a second part of the UAV and a resilient means (36). The first engaging means (25) and the second engaging means (35) are used for connecting the first part and the second part manually and releasably. The resilient means (36) is operatively arranged between the first engaging means (25) and the second engaging means (35). The first engaging means (25) is movable relative to the second engaging means (35) along a direction of an axis from a first position (P1) to a second position (P2) and then from the second position (P2) to a third position (P3) angularly spaced from the second position (P2) about the axis to thereby lock the first engaging means (25) with the second engaging means (35) under a restoring force exerted by the resilient means (36). The locking mechanism is applicable to easily attach and detach two corresponding propeller parts of the UAV by only the user's hand or hands without requiring the use of a tool.
