Solar energy-based unmanned aerial vehicle positioning apparatus and control method

Abstract

The invention discloses a solar energy-based unmanned aerial vehicle positioning apparatus and a control method. The apparatus includes a cylindrical cage-like body and an airbag. The airbag is connected to the cylindrical cage-like body, and the apparatus further includes a solar cell panel, a positioning module, a lithium battery, a data transmission module, and a control module that are disposed in the cylindrical cage-like body. A gyroscope is built in the control module, and can determine an attitude of an aircraft. When it is determined that the aircraft crashes, the airbag is opened. When it is determined that the apparatus lands and is in a relatively stationary state after the aircraft crashes, a power supply mode is selected according to states of the solar cell panel and the lithium battery, and a positioning signal of the positioning module is sent through the data transmission module. The apparatus is firm, has good protection performance and an ultra-long endurance fieldpositioning capability, and can send positioning information for a long time, thereby greatly reducing difficulty of finding the aircraft and minimizes a loss after an unmanned aerial vehicle crashes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a UAV positioning device and a control method thereof, in particular to a solar energy-based UAV positioning device and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] UAV, English abbreviation UAV. The original UAV can be traced back to the First World War in 1914, and it was only limited to the military at that time. After more than 100 years of development, UAVs have been widely used in different fields. Most UAVs need to carry mission loads when performing tasks, and complete the predetermined goals through task loads. Due to the difference in the quality, size and shape of the mission load carried by the UAV, it will cause changes in the center of gravity and aerodynamic appearance of the UAV, coupled with battery life, unstable airflow, and some aircraft are difficult to take off and land. , may cause accidents when drones perform tasks. Nowadays, the high cost of drones and mission loads in the industry, coup...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

At present, there are basically no long-term positioning devices after the crash of drones on the market. It is very important to design a long-term intermittent transmission positioning device.
