An intelligent aircraft system capable of automatic charging in the field and its charging method

Abstract

The invention provides an intelligent aircraft system capable of performing field automatic charging and a charging method thereof. The system comprises an intelligent aircraft for executing field information and data acquisition tasks and a charging bin platform. According to the intelligent aircraft, a plurality of charging bin platforms arranged at different geographic positions in advance are used as basic charging facilities, searching of all charging bin platforms in reachable ranges can be completed automatically when the electric quantity of the intelligent aircraft is lower than the preset value, the intelligent aircraft can fly to usable charging bin platforms to be charged and return to original task execution places to work continuously after charging, and accordingly, the aircrafts can get energy supplement in the task way during the low electric quantity timely, and the field information / data acquisition task operation range is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an intelligent aircraft system capable of automatic charging in the field and a charging method thereof. Background technique [0002] Quadcopter is a common multi-rotor aircraft. It supports four rotors in front, rear and left and right groups through brackets. Each group of rotors rotates in the same direction. Thereby counteracting the torsional moment of the aircraft body, preventing spin, and maintaining the balance of the aircraft body. The quadcopter changes the lift force by changing the rotation speed of each rotor, and then changes the flight attitude and position of the quadcopter. Due to its compact structure, light weight, flexible movement, and strong wind resistance, it is generally suitable for use in relatively small spaces or complex terrain environments, and can be applied to tasks such as field information / data collection. [0003] However, the flight distance of the quadcopter is severely limited by the p...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, too few charging platforms cannot effectively ensure that all aircraft in the mission area can be replenished with electric energy in time

[0006] 2. Poor ability to deal with harsh natural conditions

The infrastructure in the charging platform, including the aircraft being charged, is not in a completely sealed and protected environment, so it cannot effectively deal with interference and damage from bad weather, wild animals, etc.

[0007] 3. Does not have communication capabilities, and lacks supporting systems and methods to help the aircraft automatically find available charging platforms, go to and complete the charging process

Therefore, it may cause multiple aircrafts to line up around one charging platform and wait for charging, and at the same time, multiple charging platforms are idle.

[0008] 4. Low charging efficiency and long charging time

In order to simplify the charging process, the charging platform adopts a wireless charging method with low charging efficiency, but ignores the continuity and timeliness of the aircraft when performing field missions

Long charging time is difficult to guarantee the quality of task completion
