Intelligent hanger suitable for various mounting needs and used for unmanned aerial vehicle

Abstract

The invention relates to an intelligent hanger suitable for various mounting needs and used for an unmanned aerial vehicle. The intelligent hanger comprises a hanger body, a sensing device, a controldevice, and a vehicle / hanger communication device, wherein the hanger body comprises a case and a case cover arranged on the top of the case and capable of opening; the unmanned aerial vehicle is in the case in standby, and the case cover is opened in work, such that the unmanned aerial vehicle flies out from the top of the case; the sensing device is used for sensing a position, in the hanger, ofthe unmanned aerial vehicle as well as a position and an external environment, above the hanger, of an external unmanned aerial vehicle, and transmitting sensed information to the control device; andthe control device comprises terminal equipment which is in communication and control connection to the unmanned aerial vehicle and the hanger body through the vehicle / hanger communication device. The intelligent hanger is strong in adaptability, can realize fully-automatic work, provides more in-hanger guarantee for the unmanned aerial vehicle, has certain vehicle / hanger integration degree, andsupports cluster use and intelligent scheduling.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an unmanned aerial vehicle intelligent hangar suitable for various installation requirements, and belongs to the technical field of the unmanned aerial vehicle intelligent hangar. Background technique [0002] With the wide application of rotor UAVs, the supporting UAV library has also been applied. At present, this kind of UAV library mainly includes box type, sliding cover type, drawer type, clamshell type in terms of its structure. From the perspective of the installation platform, there are mainly ground (including the top surface of the building) installation, elevated installation, vehicle installation, etc.; from the function, there are mainly storage type, enabling type (with certain environmental control or / And charging and other protection functions), etc., can be divided into manual operation type, automatic control type, etc. in terms of control. Although there are various drone hangars, it is an obvious fact tha...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This contradiction has not been effectively resolved in the existing UAV library products

[0005] Second, the hangar's autonomous working ability is insufficient

However, the existing hangars can only complete the automatic control of some actions in the working conditions of take-off, landing, and maintenance, and the full set of action links are not connected. The hangars have insufficient autonomous control capabilities and cannot meet the needs of cluster use and intelligent scheduling.

For example, during the landing process of the drone, since there is no communication link between the aircraft and the hangar, the hangar cannot guide the drone and issue a landing command under appropriate conditions. Generally, the landing of the drone can only be done manually. Operation, or through the video recognition on the UAV to automatically guide the UAV to land, manual operation is difficult because it is not easy to observe (especially when the hangar takeoff and landing platform is higher than the human line of sight) and the airflow disturbance of the UAV approaching the takeoff and landing platform is serious. At the same time, it can only do "one person, one warehouse" and obviously does not have the ability of cluster use and intelligent scheduling; although the automatic guidance of airborne video recognition can complete the landing process independently, it will increase the complexity of the UAV and increase the Its cost, while increasing its own weight and reducing the ability to carry workloads, also reduces the versatility of the hangar "one library to many (type) machines", which is used in drones and hangar clusters, intelligent scheduling Very important performance in mode

[0006] The third is that the endurance of the drone is not enough

To solve the problem of endurance, many hangars now have the function of charging in the warehouse (including wired or wireless charging). Although this solution is relatively simple in technology and relatively low in cost, due to the long charging time, the rotor drone cannot The problem of long-term continuous use or long-distance use cannot be solved at all

Another solution is to automatically replace the battery technology in the warehouse, but it still has a big disadvantage: the battery is configured according to the ratio of charging time to working time of 10:1. To truly realize the continuous operation of drones in a hangar, it needs to configure Airborne batteries are 9 times larger, which will bring a series of new problems, first of all, the weight and volume of the batteries themselves, and the strengthening of the hangar structure and the increase in weight and volume to support and install these batteries. The environment is limited and the adaptability of the hangar is reduced; the second is that no matter whether the battery is charged in series or in parallel, it will increase the complexity of the automatic battery replacement device in the hangar and / or the power consumption of the hangar, which will in turn Bring another series of problems; third, because of the above two points, the manufacturing cost of the hangar increases, which greatly reduces the cost-effectiveness of the hangar, making it difficult to apply and promote

Existing hangars do not have or do not fully have these functions, so they are not enough to empower UAVs to solve their bottleneck problems

[0007] Fourth, the integration of drones and hangars is not enough

Existing products, whether it is machine or library, do not have this function, and there is no related integrated research and development. The integration of machine and library is not enough, almost blank
