Unmanned aerial vehicle wireless charging system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle wireless charging system and an unmanned aerial vehicle wireless charging method. The system comprises a charging pile, an unmanned aerial vehicle and a ground landing control system; a wireless charging module, an energy storage battery, a Bluetooth module and a GPS module are arranged on the charging pile; a lithium battery, the Bluetooth module, the wireless charging module, a camera, a GPS navigation module and an ultrasonic distance measuring module are arranged on the unmanned aerial vehicle; the ground landing control system comprises an unmanned aerial vehicle ground station and a vision navigation module; the vision navigation module processes the acquired image; the relative position of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the charging pile is calculated through GPS positioning information; the unmanned aerial vehicle ground station transmits a position adjusting and landing control signal to the unmanned aerial vehicle; the ultrasonic distance measuring module detects the relative height of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the charging pile; after landing, the charging pile and the unmanned aerial vehicle performs wireless charging through Bluetooth communication; and the unmanned aerial vehicle wireless charging system enables the inspection unmanned aerial vehicle to automatically navigate to the near charging pile when the electric quantity is insufficient to perform wireless charging, so that the inspection distance and the inspection efficiency of the unmanned aerial vehicle are increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wireless charging, in particular to a wireless charging system and method for a drone. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of today's drone industry, the application of drones involves many industries, especially in the direction of inspection. Real-time patrol inspection of various roads saves a lot of manpower and material resources, and has gradually replaced manual inspection. The existing drone inspection methods mostly use batteries with fixed capacity to power the drone, so no one The inspection distance of the drone is limited by the battery capacity. The common solution is to increase the battery capacity, but the battery life does not increase linearly with the increase in battery capacity. The production cost and battery technology limit the drone's battery life. The endurance of drones also directly affects the inspection efficiency of drones, and the inspection capabilit...
