Embodiment 1

[0023] figure 1 It is a flow chart of a charging method for a drone provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the situation where the drone automatically performs wireless charging. The method can be executed by a charging device for the drone. The device can Realized by means of hardware and / or software. refer to figure 1 , the drone charging method provided in this embodiment specifically includes:

[0024] S110. Determine whether the drone needs to be charged.

[0025] Among them, it can be judged in real time whether the UAV needs to be charged, or a power warning value can be preset in the UAV, and when the remaining power of the UAV is lower than the power warning value, it can be judged whether the UAV needs to be charged.

[0026] S120. If yes, acquire location information and charging status of charging base stations within a preset range.

[0027] Among them, multiple wireless charging base stations can be set up in the f...

Embodiment 2

[0041] figure 2 A flowchart of a charging method for a drone provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention, such as figure 2 As shown, on the basis of the solutions of the foregoing embodiments, it is preferable to further add operation S210 before S140, and send a charging response to the charging base station when it is detected that the charging base station sends a heartbeat signal including a charging request.

[0042] Wherein, the charging base station may send a heartbeat signal through a signal transceiver, and the heartbeat signal may refer to a signal sent according to a preset frequency. The UAV can monitor the heartbeat signal sent by the charging base station in real time, and identify the information in the heartbeat signal. When it detects the heartbeat signal containing the charging request, it will send a charging response to the charging base station, and the charging base station will receive the feedback from the UAV. After responding, turn on the po...

Embodiment 3

[0046] image 3 A flowchart of a charging method for a drone provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention, such as image 3 As shown, on the basis of the solutions of the foregoing embodiments, it is preferable to add operation S310 after S120. When the charging status of the charging base station is charging, select the charging station closest to the drone according to the location information of the charging base station. The base station lands in the waiting area according to the waiting charging sign on the charging base station.

[0047] Among them, a waiting area can be set on the charging base station so that the UAV temporarily lands and waits for charging, and a waiting charging sign can be set on the waiting area to instruct the UAV to land in the waiting area and wait for charging. The sign waiting for charging can be a graphic sign, or a two-dimensional code or a barcode. The drone is equipped with a corresponding device that can identify the sign waiting fo...

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide a charging method and apparatus for an unmanned aerial vehicle. The charging method comprises the steps of judging whether the unmanned aerial vehicle needs to be charged or not; if so, obtaining position information and charging states of charging base stations within a preset range; choosing one charging base station at an unoccupied state, landing the unmanned aerial vehicle in a charging region according to a charging identifier on the corresponding charging base station; and performing wireless charging for the unmanned aerial vehicle according to a wireless charging signal provided by the charging base station. By adoption of the charging method and apparatus for the unmanned aerial vehicle provided by the invention, the endurance efficiency of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be improved, and the endurance operation of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be optimized.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to unmanned aerial vehicle technology, in particular to a method and device for charging an unmanned aerial vehicle. Background technique [0002] With the improvement of technology, drones are showing a rapid development trend, and drone battery life is an important aspect of drone development. [0003] The existing solution for drones to achieve battery life is: the drone itself presets a power warning value. During the flight, if the power drops to the warning value, the drone will automatically return to the flight to replace the battery or recharge. [0004] The disadvantages of the prior art are: returning to the voyage consumes battery power, prolongs the battery life, and the battery life efficiency is too low. Contents of the invention [0005] Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and device for charging an unmanned aerial vehicle, so as to improve the endurance efficiency of the ...
