Problems solved by technology

However, this battery replacement method requires the UAV to reserve enough power to return to the voyage, which shortens the actual power supply time that the battery can provide for the UAV operation. At the same time, the manual battery replacement method takes a long time to replace the battery, and the work efficiency is low.

Embodiment 1

[0088] Embodiment 1 of the present application provides a method for replacing a drone battery, which will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0089] see figure 1 , which is a flowchart of a method for replacing a drone battery provided in Embodiment 1 of the present application.

[0090] The method described in this embodiment is applied to changing electric cars, and the method includes the following steps:

[0091] S101: Receive a first battery change request, first location information, and a first rendezvous location sent by the drone; the first location information includes the current location of the drone.

[0092] The electric car that can be applied to the method provided by the embodiment of the present application can be a fuel car, a new energy car, etc. The electric car can also have automatic driving capabilities, remote control capabilities, etc. The electric car can work in areas covered by traffic roads, or it can Pos...

Embodiment 2

[0106] The embodiment of the present application also provides another method for replacing the battery of the drone. The difference from the first embodiment is that this embodiment also specifically includes the workflow of the drone during the battery replacement process of the drone. The following Describe in detail in conjunction with accompanying drawings.

[0107] see figure 2 , which is a flow chart of another drone battery replacement method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present application.

[0108] S201: The drone sends a first battery swap request, first location information, and a first rendezvous location to the battery swap car.

[0109] The UAV can maintain information communication with the electric car at all times, but this will cause a waste of battery power and shorten the battery life of the UAV. Therefore, when the battery power of the UAV is sufficient, the UAV and the electric car will not perform information interaction; When the UAV battery powe...

Embodiment 3

[0155] Based on the UAV battery replacement method provided in the above-mentioned embodiments, Embodiment 3 of the present application also provides a UAV battery replacement system, which can be applied to UAVs and battery replacement vehicles, and will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0156] see Figure 4 , which is a schematic diagram of a battery replacement system for drones applied to battery replacement vehicles provided by Embodiment 3 of the present application.

[0157] When the system provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to a tram changer, it includes: a second communication module 301 , a second positioning module 302 and a second control module 303 .

[0158] The second communication module 301 is configured to receive the first battery change request, the first location information and the first rendezvous location sent by the UAV, wherein the first location information includes the current l...

Abstract

The invention provides an unmanned aerial vehicle battery replacement method and system. When the method is applied to a battery replacement vehicle, the method comprises the steps that a first battery replacement request, first position information and a first meeting position which are sent by an unmanned aerial vehicle are received, wherein the first position information comprises the current position of the unmanned aerial vehicle; a second meeting position is determined according to the first position information, the first meeting position and the second position information, and the second position information and the second meeting position are sent to the unmanned aerial vehicle,wherein the second position information comprises the current position of the battery replacementvehicle; and when the unmanned aerial vehicle arrives at the second meeting position and the first meeting position and the second meeting position are within the preset deviation range, the unmanned aerialvehicle is fixed to the preset landing area, second operation is conducted to replace the spent battery on the unmanned aerial vehicle. The method can also be applied to the unmanned aerial vehicle.By utilizing the method, the power supply time actually provided for the unmanned aerial vehicle by the battery can be effectively prolonged, and the endurance time of the unmanned aerial vehicle is further prolonged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle control, in particular to a method and system for replacing batteries of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Background technique [0002] At present, the development of drone technology is becoming more and more mature, and there are more and more applications in the fields of agricultural plant protection, power grid inspection, aerial photography, express transportation, disaster prevention and rescue, etc. The requirements for the endurance of UAVs are also increasing day by day. However, due to the limited increase in the energy density of UAV batteries, the weight of the battery will also increase when the battery power is increased, which will also affect the load capacity of the UAV, so that it is not enough to increase the number of batteries for the UAV system. Effectively extend its flight time and expand its load capacity. [0003] In order to solve the problem of the short battery lif...
