Charging system and charging method for plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle endurance, and discloses a charging system and a charging method for a plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle. The system comprises a general control unit, a parking station, an airborne terminal, a distance triggering module, an idle detection unit, a remote terminal, a scheduling mechanism, and a priority determination unit. When the idle detection unit detects that a parking apron corresponding to the unmanned aerial vehicle is idle in the stop station, the unmanned aerial vehicle which comes to be charged is guided to land on the idle parking apron, and when the idle detection unit detects that no parking apron corresponding to the specification of the unmanned aerial vehicle is idle, the general control unit executes different operations according to the priority judged by the priority determination unit, wherein the execution operations are that the unmanned aerial vehicle with the high priority is charged preferentially. According to the invention, waste of waiting time for charging of the unmanned aerial vehicle is reduced to the maximum extent, the utilization rate of charging equipment is improved, and the operation punctuality of the unmanned aerial vehicle is also improved to the maximum extent.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to a charging system and charging method for plant protection unmanned aerial vehicles. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology, the application of drones in agriculture has become more and more mature. For large-scale experimental fields and contracted fields, the application of drones has greatly reduced the difficulty of planting, especially in pesticide spraying. The popularization reduces the labor input, and the spraying efficiency is higher. [0003] At present, large-scale test fields and contracted fields mostly use multiple drones to spray pesticides at the same time. The charging speed of the machine. However, since the number of charging devices is much smaller than the number of drones, the drones are often charged by the drones that return first. Due to the different working hours of drones, some drones may work e...

Problems solved by technology

However, since the number of charging devices is much smaller than the number of drones, the drones are often charged by the drones that return first. Due to the different working hours of drones, some drones may work earlier than they are charging. However, due to its late return to charge, it cannot be charged normally, which leads to a long waiting time for drones with ample operating time after charging, and drones with earlier operating hours miss the charging equipment. , and cannot carry out work on time, especially for some crops with a short pesticide spraying cycle, the traditional charging method can easily delay the time of pesticide spraying, resulting in untimely spraying of pesticides and affecting the growth of crops
