Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of electronic devices, and in particular relates to an automatic charging platform that uses a pressure sensor to detect the position of a drone for wireless charging. Background Technology
[0002] "Unmanned aerial vehicle" (UAV), or "unmanned aircraft," broadly refers to various remotely controlled flying vehicles that do not require a pilot. Due to their high speed and accurate target acquisition, UAVs were initially used in the military. In the 1990s, with the rapid development of Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) technology and the continuous improvement of microcontroller performance, multi-rotor UAVs equipped with small inertial navigation systems emerged. This sparked a revolution in the miniaturization and civilian application of UAVs. In recent years, UAVs have been increasingly used in aerial photography, express delivery, environmental monitoring, and equipment inspection. Currently, the domestic market for small UAVs in my country is developing rapidly, and their application scenarios are constantly expanding. However, most UAVs on the market currently use wired charging, which is extremely inconvenient when charging outdoors, limiting their large-scale use. Meanwhile, wireless charging technology has matured in recent years and has been successfully applied to a certain extent in automobiles, mobile phones, and small home appliances. Compared to wired power transmission, wireless charging is not limited by space and has no connectors or exposed conductors, making it more suitable for powering small UAVs.
[0003] The closest prior art to this application includes: Chinese Patent CN110789369, "A Drone Charging Platform and Charging Method Based on Wireless Charging," which makes innovations in coil electromagnetic optimization; and Chinese Patent 2018108887219, "An Electro-adaptive Wireless Energy Transmission System," which makes some improvements to the wireless charging transmission system in impedance matching. However, the above patents also have certain drawbacks: 1. The above wireless chargers have poor scalability; a single charger can only charge a single drone device, making them unsuitable for use scenarios requiring large-scale charging, such as small drones.
[0004] In conclusion, there is still room for improvement in existing drone charging and launching systems. Summary of the Invention

[0054] Example 8: Working principle of the present invention
[0055] When multiple drones land on the platform, the pressure sensing module 1 detects the pressure and converts the analog signal into a digital signal, transmitting it to the microcontroller A3 in the microcontroller control module 2 to obtain the coordinate information of the drones. The microcontroller control module 2 sends signal S1 to the ring distribution circuit 3, which then transmits two signals to the charging system movement module 7. These signals control the X-axis and Y-axis stepper motors, respectively, moving the load identification module 4, intelligent power-off circuit 5, and inverter drive circuit 6 on the platform 72 to their respective coordinate positions. The load identification module detects the load status; the load identification module 4 sends a signal to the microcontroller A1, which in turn changes the state of transistor Q7 in the intelligent power-off circuit 5, thereby controlling the opening and closing of switch K1 in the intelligent power-off circuit 5, and ultimately controlling whether the inverter drive circuit 6 is connected to the power supply. If a load is detected, the load identification module 4 sends a signal to microcontroller A1. Microcontroller A1 then sends a signal to microcontroller A2, keeping the charging system moving module 7 stationary. Microcontroller A1 also controls the switch in the intelligent power-off circuit 5 to connect to terminal a, and the inverter drive circuit 6 is connected to the power supply. If no load is detected, or the load can no longer be charged, switch b in the intelligent power-off circuit 5 is connected, the inverter drive circuit 6 is powered off, the load identification module 4 sends a signal to microcontroller A1, and A1 then sends a control signal to microcontroller A2, causing the charging system moving module 7 to move to the next load location. This process repeats. This enables automatic wireless charging for multiple small drones.
