Abstract
A connector assembly 100 for detachably coupling a propeller to a motor of an UAV includes a base portion 200 to be fixed to the motor and a holder 400 to be fixed to the corresponding propeller. The detachable coupling is facilitated by teeth 402 provided on the holder 400 and corresponding recesses 208 on base portion 200 such that when holder 400 is rotated after being placed over the base portion 200, the teeth 402 engage with the recesses 208. Holder 400 is locked against rotation after the teeth engage with recesses. An engaging plate 300 is provided to move between a pressed position and a released position and includes projections 302, which, in the released position of the engaging plate 300, engage with cavities 404 of holder 400, to lock the holder 400 against rotation.
