Embodiment Construction

[0016] 1. Overview

[0017] The present technology generally relates to devices, systems, and methods for indicating the state of a UAV or the state of a control terminal (eg, a remote control for a UAV, or a base for a UAV). Representative equipment may include propulsion equipment. Examples of propulsion devices include propellers, blades, paddles, rotatable members that move air / liquid in their vicinity, and / or other suitable devices. The propulsion device may include a light incidence portion positioned / configured to receive light from the UAV. The light incident portion may be a transparent portion of the propulsion device (eg, a filter layer on a surface of the propulsion device). The propulsion device may also include a light transmitting portion positioned / configured to transmit light. The light transmitting portion may include light guides or reflective components (eg, reflective coatings, mirrors, and / or other suitable devices) to facilitate transmission of rece...

Abstract

Systems, apparatuses and methods for indicating a moveable device such as an UAV (20) are disclosed herein. The present technology provides an illumination system (200, 200a, 300, 400, 500) having a light source (201, 201a, 301, 601) and an illuminating component (203, 203a, 403, 503, 603). The light source (201, 201a) is carried by a UAV (20) and positioned to emit a light ray in a first direction (D1). The illuminating component (203, 203a, 403, 503, 603) is carried by a propeller (29, 39, 49, 59, 69) of the UAV (20). The illuminating component (203, 203a, 403, 503, 603) can include a lightentrance portion (403a, 503a, 603a), a light transmission portion (403b, 503b, 603b), and a light exit portion(403c, 503c). The light entrance portion (403a, 503a, 603a) is positioned to receive the light ray from the light source (201, 201a, 301, 601), the light transmission portion (403b, 503b, 603b) is positioned to transmit the light ray to the light exit portion(403c, 503c), and the light exit portion(403c, 503c) is positioned to direct the light ray in a second direction(D2) so as to form a visual indication corresponding to the UAV(20).

Description

technical field [0001] The present technology generally relates to devices, systems and methods for indicating movable devices. More specifically, the technology relates to devices, systems, and methods for visually indicating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Background technique [0002] Knowing the direction of travel and / or heading of a UAV during operation is very important as the operator needs this information to properly control the UAV and avoid possible accidents. As shown in FIG. 1 , a conventional UAV 100 includes a body 101 connected to a propeller 103 . The UAV 100 also includes a conventional light 105 located in the body 101 and configured to indicate the head or nose of the UAV 100 . When the UAV 100 is operating, the propeller 103 rotates and forms a rotating disk 107 that extends beyond the body 101 of the UAV 100 . A conventional indicator light 105 is usually a point light source. When the UAV 100 is flying high above the user, the user may not be abl...
