Unmanned aerial vehicle charging method and unmanned aerial vehicle charging management method

Abstract

The invention discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle charging method and an unmanned aerial vehicle charging management method. The unmanned aerial vehicle charging method comprises the following steps of: determining whether an unmanned aerial vehicle may arrive at a destination with residual electric power and sending charging information if not; receiving power supply information and enabling the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly to a charging position according to address information in the power supply information; charging the unmanned aerial vehicle at the charging position. By means of the above method, the unmanned aerial vehicle may intelligently select a proper charging position to be charged in a flying process. The method breaks through a conventional charging way, greatly prolongs the flying distance of the unmanned aerial vehicle, expands the application field of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and has high application value.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the charging technology of the drone, in particular, to a charging method and a charging management method of the drone. Background technique [0002] Unmanned aircraft is referred to as "UAV" for short, and the English abbreviation is "UAV" (unmannedaerialvehicle or drone). It is an unmanned aerial vehicle controlled by radio remote control equipment and its own program control device. The UAV system consists of an aircraft platform system, an information collection system and a ground control system. From a technical point of view, it can be divided into: unmanned helicopter, unmanned fixed-wing aircraft, unmanned multi-rotor aircraft, unmanned airship, unmanned parawing aircraft, etc. Unmanned aerial vehicles can realize the collection of high-resolution images. While making up for the shortcomings of satellite remote sensing that often cannot obtain images due to cloud cover, it also solves the problems of traditio...

Problems solved by technology

When bad weather conditions use traditional charging technology is limited

For example, the power consumption of the UAV drops sharply during the mission, and the remaining power cannot support its normal return and landing in bad weather.

Another example is that due to the support of its own power, it is impossible to carry out tasks in some farther places. Even if it arrives, it does not have the ability to return

[0008] In addition, traditional UAVs need to maintain communication with the ground during the flight process, and need to send information from time to time to inform the ground communication managers of the flight situation in the air

However, during this communication process, information needs to be continuously sent frequently, and the flight distance increases, and the transmission power of the UAV during the communication process also increases, resulting in an increase in power consumption. Communication in the same frequency band greatly reduces power consumption, which greatly affects the drone's endurance and flight experience
