Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of drone charging control technology, and more specifically to a vehicle-mounted intelligent charging station and method for drones. Background Technology
[0002] Vehicle-mounted drones are automated inspection and patrol equipment mainly used in applications such as power, transportation, forestry, security, and fire fighting. Because vehicle-mounted drones are often used in remote or outdoor environments, corresponding charging equipment needs to be installed on the vehicles carrying the drones to improve their battery life. However, their battery life management cannot simultaneously meet the needs of all drones.
[0003] Regarding battery life, document CN109532547A discloses a vehicle-mounted drone charging device, including a box body with a folding cover on the top side. The bottom surface of the box body has a charging base and at least two buffer rails, with at least two buffer rails symmetrically arranged on both sides of the charging base. The charging base includes an iron core disposed on the bottom surface of the box body, a coil wound around the outside of the iron core, and a charging connector disposed on the top of the iron core. This device solves the problem of charging drones in a car, especially allowing for convenient retrieval and charging of drones while the car is in motion. The entire process is highly efficient, convenient, and practical.
[0004] To achieve the target workload for field inspections and patrols and improve work efficiency, multiple drones of different sizes need to be equipped on the same vehicle. However, using existing charging equipment to directly charge the drones takes time. Recharging the drones when their batteries are depleted during field inspections and patrols would delay their operational time. Furthermore, due to the limited space in the vehicle to accommodate the charging equipment and poor heat dissipation, coupled with the influence of sunlight, the charging temperature can rise, potentially causing safety issues, especially when transferring equipment from one work location to another. The heat emitted from charging at the previous work location and the increased temperature due to sunlight could pose significant safety risks at the next location. Summary of the Invention
[0005] One of the objectives of this invention is to provide a vehicle-mounted intelligent charging station for drones, in order to solve the safety risks caused by multiple batteries charging when multiple drones are simultaneously mounted on a vehicle, and the resulting temperature variations at different work locations.
[0006] The vehicle-mounted smart charging station for drones in this solution includes a battery compartment shell that can be embedded and fixed to a vehicle.
[0007] The battery compartment shell has multiple charging compartments arranged in a rectangular array, and each charging compartment has multiple slots for holding the drone battery pack.
[0008] The battery compartment shell is equipped with a detection module, a control module and a planning module. The detection module is used to detect environmental information during charging and send it to the control module for storage. The environmental information includes the temperature on the left side of the vehicle, the temperature on the right side of the vehicle and the temperature on the roof. The control module is used to receive the vehicle start signal and environmental information, and after receiving the start signal, send the environmental information and the position of the charged storage slot to the planning module.
[0009] The planning module first sorts the temperatures on the left side of the vehicle, the right side of the vehicle, and the roof temperature, and then selects the storage slot corresponding to the maximum value after sorting as the sunlit side. Based on the sunlit side, the planning module determines the storage slots that are not on the charged side and are on the backlit side as the first priority charging positions.
[0010] Furthermore, the battery compartment shell is equipped with a controlled switch that controls the charging of all drone battery packs. The controlled switch is connected to the control module, and the control module controls the controlled switch to disconnect the charging when it receives a vehicle start signal.
[0011] Furthermore, when the control module receives the start signal, the control module acquires the vehicle's shutdown signal, and after a preset time after acquiring the shutdown signal, it designates the receiving slot position other than the first priority charging position as the second priority charging position.
[0012] Furthermore, after the control module acquires the engine shutdown signal, the control module sends the newly acquired environmental information to the planning module again to sort the temperatures after the vehicle stops. The planning module compares the maximum temperature value after the vehicle stops with a threshold. When the maximum temperature value after the vehicle stops is greater than the threshold, the planning module determines whether the location of the receiving slot corresponding to the maximum temperature value after the vehicle stops is a second-priority charging location. If so, the planning module uses the receiving slot location corresponding to the maximum temperature value greater than the threshold as the third-priority charging location.
[0013] Furthermore, the positional relationship between the receiving slots corresponding to the vehicle left side temperature, vehicle right side temperature, and vehicle roof temperature is unique. The vehicle left side temperature corresponds to two-fifths of the receiving slots on the left side of the vehicle, the vehicle right side temperature corresponds to two-fifths of the receiving slots on the right side of the vehicle, and the vehicle roof temperature corresponds to three-fifths of the receiving slots directly opposite the middle of the vehicle roof.
[0014] Furthermore, after receiving the start signal, the control module obtains the corresponding weather forecast information and terrain information based on the pre-stored next working location, and determines whether the weather forecast information is the preset rainfall amount. When the weather forecast information is the preset rainfall amount, the control module predicts the parking point based on the terrain information.
[0015] Furthermore, the terrain information includes ground slope and ground type. The control module determines whether the ground slope is less than a predetermined slope value. When the ground slope is less than the predetermined slope value, the control module predicts that the ground type is water-absorbing and identifies it as a parking point. When the ground slope is greater than the predetermined slope value, the control module determines to adjust the location of the next working location.
[0016] Furthermore, the battery compartment shell is located at the rear or side of the vehicle, the charging compartment is triangular prism-shaped, the length direction of the charging compartment is parallel to the length direction of the battery compartment shell, and the opening side of the charging compartment is located on the side wall of the battery compartment shell.
[0017] Furthermore, a plurality of limiting strips are fixedly provided in the receiving slot to limit the position of the drone battery pack. The limiting strips are elastic and are evenly distributed around the circumference of the receiving slot where the charging interface is located. The bottom of the receiving slot is inclined downward toward the battery compartment.
[0018] The second objective of this invention is to provide a vehicle-mounted intelligent charging method for drones, which can accurately guide the charging of multiple drones on a vehicle, making drone charging more reliable and safer.
[0019] Vehicle-mounted smart charging methods for drones include:
[0020] Step 1: Detect the environmental information of multiple drone battery packs in multiple storage slots during charging using the detection module inside the battery compartment shell. The environmental information includes the temperature on the left side of the vehicle, the temperature on the right side of the vehicle, and the temperature on the roof of the vehicle.
[0021] Step 2: The control module receives the vehicle's start signal and environmental information, and after receiving the start signal, sends the environmental information and the location of the charged storage compartment to the planning module.
[0022] Step 3: First, sort the temperature of the left side of the vehicle, the temperature of the right side of the vehicle, and the temperature of the roof through the planning module. Then, take the storage slot corresponding to the maximum value after sorting as the sunlit side. Based on the sunlit side, determine the storage slots other than the charged storage slots and the backlit side as the first priority charging positions.
[0023] Compared to existing technologies, this solution features multiple charging compartments within a smaller battery pack shell, and multiple charging slots within each compartment. This increases the number of drone battery packs that can be charged simultaneously. During drone operations such as flight inspections, multiple drone battery packs can be charged concurrently. Within limited vehicle space, this provides a reliable battery charging solution for multiple drones mounted on a vehicle. Furthermore, as the vehicle moves from one work location to another, temperature monitoring at various points along the vehicle during charging determines the location of the first-priority charging slot, as well as the second and third-priority slots under different conditions. This precise guidance ensures safe and reliable charging across multiple slots, maintaining a stable and reliable charging environment for the drone battery packs. Attached Figure Description
[0024] Figure 1 This is a schematic block diagram of an embodiment of a vehicle-mounted intelligent charging station for drones;
[0025] Figure 2 This is a front view of an embodiment of a vehicle-mounted smart charging station for drones. Detailed Implementation
[0026] The following detailed description provides further details on specific implementation methods.
[0027] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: battery compartment shell 1, receiving slot 2, operation panel 3, charging display panel 4, charging compartment 5, and operation slot 6.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] Vehicle-mounted smart charging stations for drones, such as Figure 2 As shown: This includes a battery compartment housing 1 that can be embedded and fixed to a vehicle. The battery compartment housing 1 is rectangular in shape and is located at the rear or side of the vehicle. The size of the battery compartment housing 1 is set according to the space available in the vehicle. The battery compartment housing 1 can be combined and assembled with other control devices or equipment used by the drone, offering greater flexibility.
[0030] In another embodiment, taking the battery compartment housing 1 located at the rear of the vehicle as an example, the specific dimensions are set as follows: the length of the battery compartment housing 1 is 1400mm, the width of the battery compartment housing 1 is 600mm, and the height of the battery compartment housing 1 is 140mm. The overall size of the battery compartment housing 1 is small, which makes it easy to install in the limited space of the vehicle.
[0031] The battery compartment shell 1 has multiple charging compartments 5. Taking four charging compartments 5, each with five receiving slots 2, as an example, a total of twenty receiving slots 2 can be provided. The charging compartments 5 are arranged in a rectangular array, i.e., two rows and two columns. Each charging compartment 5 has multiple receiving slots 2 for placing drone battery packs. The number of receiving slots 2 in each charging compartment 5 is set according to actual needs. The arrangement of charging compartments 5 and receiving slots 2 can increase the number of drone battery packs that can be charged.
[0032] The receiving slot 2 is equipped with a charging interface for charging the drone battery pack when the vehicle is stationary, facilitating charging after the drone battery pack is placed in the receiving slot 2. The battery compartment housing 1 houses a control module that receives the vehicle start signal and a controlled switch that controls the charging of all drone battery packs. The control module can use an existing STC microcontroller, and the control can obtain the start signal from the vehicle's electronic control system. The controlled switch signal is connected to the control module; the controlled switch can be an existing relay. When the control module receives the vehicle start signal, it controls the controlled switch to disconnect charging. By automatically disconnecting the drone battery pack charging operation after the vehicle starts, it avoids abnormalities caused by vibration from continued charging after the vehicle starts, maintaining a stable charging environment for the drone battery packs.
[0033] A switch is installed for each receiving slot 2. The switch signal is connected to the control module. Except for the operation of disconnecting the entire charging process by controlling the controlled switch when the vehicle is started, the other control of stopping charging is performed by controlling the switch to open.
[0034] Several operation slots 6 are provided between the charging compartments 5. Taking two operation slots 6 as an example, the charging compartments 5 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the operation slots 6. A charging display panel 4, which displays the charging status of the drone battery packs in the receiving compartment 2, and an operation panel 3, which controls the connection status of each drone battery pack, are respectively fixedly installed in the operation slots 6 with screws. The specific display information of the charging display panel 4 and the specific operation button types of the operation panel 3 are set according to actual needs and will not be elaborated here. The operation slots 6 facilitate the setting of relevant components for drone battery pack charging operations, making operation clearer. The operation slots 6 are triangular prisms, with their edges parallel to the length direction of the battery compartment shell 1. The charging display panel 4 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of one operation slot 6, and the operation panel 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the other operation slot 6. The placement of the two panels in the operation slots 6 facilitates the use of the operation panel 3, protects the two panels from accidental contact during use, and provides sufficient operating space above, making operation more convenient.
[0035] The charging compartment 5 is triangular prism-shaped, and the length of the charging compartment 5 is parallel to the length of the battery compartment shell 1. The opening side of the charging compartment 5 is located on the side wall of the battery compartment shell 1. That is, multiple receiving slots 2 are located on the prism side wall of the charging compartment 5. By setting the shape of the charging compartment 5 and the position of the receiving slots 2, the number of receiving slots 2 can be increased, and the operating space above the receiving slots 2 can be increased, making operation more convenient.
[0036] Several limiting strips are bonded inside the receiving slot 2 to limit the position of the drone battery pack. The limiting strips are elastic, such as those made of rubber or plastic. The limiting strips are evenly distributed around the charging interface in the receiving slot 2. The limiting strips prevent the drone battery pack from being displaced during charging.
[0037] The bottom wall of the receiving slot 2, which contacts the drone battery pack, is made of plastic and is lightweight. The opening of the receiving slot 2 is hinged with a cover. The bottom of the receiving slot 2 is tilted downwards towards the charging compartment 5, which can prevent dust from entering the receiving slot 2 and protect the charging interface and the drone battery pack during the charging process.
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, a detection module, a control module, and a planning module are installed inside the battery compartment shell 1. The detection module is connected to the control module and is used to detect environmental information during charging and send it to the control module for storage. The environmental information includes the temperature on the left side of the vehicle, the temperature on the right side of the vehicle, and the temperature on the roof. The detection module consists of multiple temperature sensors installed at different locations on the vehicle. The control module is used to receive the vehicle's start signal and environmental information, and after receiving the start signal, it sends the environmental information and the position of the charged storage slot 2 to the planning module. The control module can use an existing PLC control chip. The control module obtains the start signal by connecting to the vehicle's ECU. The position of the storage slot 2 is identified by a unique number for each slot. When any storage slot 2 is charging, the control module can obtain the position of the charged storage slot 2 by the number corresponding to the pin connected to its signal.
[0039] The control module connects to the planning module. The planning module first sorts the temperatures on the left side, right side, and roof of the vehicle, and then designates the storage slot 2 corresponding to the highest sorted temperature as the sunlight-exposed side. The planning module can use existing microprocessor chips to determine the storage slot 2 on the backlight side (excluding the already charged slot) as the first priority charging location based on the sunlight-exposed side. During battery charging for the drone in the field, the vehicle carrying the drone will stop for a period of time, and some parts of the vehicle will be exposed to sunlight, causing the temperature to rise. By setting the location of the next battery charging storage slot 2, the temperature from sunlight can be prevented from accumulating on the temperature released during battery charging, thus avoiding charging anomalies and improving charging safety, ensuring the safety of the drone, related equipment, and personnel.
[0040] The battery compartment housing 1 contains a controlled switch that controls the charging of all drone battery packs. This controlled switch can be an existing relay. The switch signal is connected to the control module. When the control module receives a vehicle start signal, it controls the controlled switch to disconnect charging, which in turn disconnects the relay. This controlled switch disconnects the entire charging process after the vehicle starts, preventing malfunctions caused by vibrations during vehicle operation that could lead to the battery charging interface becoming disconnected, thus preventing safety issues during charging.
[0041] Upon receiving the start signal, the control module acquires the vehicle's shutdown signal, i.e., the vehicle's parking signal. After a preset time following the acquisition of the shutdown signal, it designates a charging location in slot 2 (other than the first priority charging location) as the second priority charging location. The preset time is set based on the cooling time, for example, 10 minutes. By determining the second priority charging location after the preset time, the hotter slot 2 is allowed to be charged only after a certain interval, preventing the high temperature of slot 2 from affecting charging safety.
[0042] After the control module receives the engine shutdown signal, it sends the newly acquired environmental information to the planning module for temperature sorting after the vehicle stops. The planning module compares the maximum temperature value after the vehicle stops with a threshold. If the maximum temperature value is greater than the threshold, the planning module determines whether the location of the receiving slot 2 corresponding to this maximum temperature value is a second-priority charging location. If so, the planning module designates the receiving slot 2 location with the maximum temperature value greater than the threshold as a third-priority charging location. Otherwise, the original priority of receiving slot 2 is retained for charging. Since the temperature of various parts of the vehicle changes due to sunlight during the driving process between starting and stopping, especially in sunny environments with a certain temperature, the temperature of various locations on the vehicle after shutdown is assessed. A third-priority charging location is determined from the second-priority charging locations and used last to ensure that the receiving slots with a certain temperature have sufficient time to dissipate heat, eliminating the influence of the external environment on the charging temperature of the receiving slots during vehicle operation. The first-priority charging location is the first to be used for charging, the second-priority charging location is the second to be used, and the third-priority charging location is the last to be used.
[0043] For the storage tank 2 whose temperature rises due to the influence of the external ambient temperature, and for the storage tank 2 whose temperature rises due to charging, the determination of the corresponding storage tank 2 position is made after the vehicle moves. This allows for the prediction of the optimal storage tank 2 position for subsequent charging during the location switching process when changing drones for inspection and other work. This reduces the impact of temperature other than the heat generated during drone battery charging on the temperature of subsequent battery charging, and guides safe charging during field drone operations.
[0044] The location relationships of the receiving slots 2 corresponding to the temperatures on the left side, right side, and roof of the vehicle are unique. The left side temperature corresponds to two-fifths of the receiving slots 2 at the left end of the vehicle, the right side temperature corresponds to two-fifths of the receiving slots 2 at the right end of the vehicle, and the roof temperature corresponds to three-fifths of the receiving slots 2 directly opposite the middle of the roof. By setting a one-to-one correspondence between each part of the vehicle and the receiving slots 2, the effective range of the vehicle under the influence of external ambient temperature can be accurately determined, improving the accuracy of subsequent prediction of the receiving slots 2 at charging locations and ensuring charging safety.
[0045] Vehicle-mounted smart charging methods for drones include:
[0046] Step 1: The detection module inside the battery compartment shell 1 detects the environmental information of multiple drone battery packs in multiple storage slots 2 during charging. The environmental information includes the temperature on the left side of the vehicle, the temperature on the right side of the vehicle, and the temperature on the roof of the vehicle.
[0047] Step 2: The control module receives the vehicle's start signal and environmental information, and upon receiving the start signal, sends the environmental information and the location of the charged storage compartment 2 to the planning module. Upon receiving the start signal, the control module controls the controlled switch to disconnect charging.
[0048] Step 3: First, sort the temperature of the left side of the vehicle, the temperature of the right side of the vehicle, and the temperature of the roof through the planning module. Then, take the storage slot 2 corresponding to the maximum value after sorting as the sunlight side. Based on the sunlight side, determine the storage slot 2 that is not in the position of the charged storage slot 2 and is on the backlight side as the first priority charging position.
[0049] Step 4: When the start signal is received, the control module obtains the vehicle's shutdown signal and, after a preset time after obtaining the shutdown signal, designates the location of the receiving slot 2 other than the first priority charging location as the second priority charging location.
[0050] Step 5: After the control module obtains the engine shutdown signal, it sends the newly acquired environmental information to the planning module again to sort the temperatures after the vehicle stops. The planning module compares the maximum temperature value after the vehicle stops with the threshold. When the maximum temperature value after the vehicle stops is greater than the threshold, the planning module determines whether the location of the receiving slot 2 corresponding to the maximum temperature value after the vehicle stops is the second priority charging location. If so, the receiving slot 2 location corresponding to the maximum temperature value greater than the threshold is designated as the third priority charging location. If not, the original priority of the receiving slot 2 is retained for charging.
[0051] During field inspections and patrols using vehicle-mounted drones, when the drone is in flight, the drone battery pack can be charged by inserting it into the charging port within one of the multiple storage slots 2 on the vehicle. When the drone's battery is depleted, the depleted battery pack can be directly replaced to recharge it, eliminating the need for the drone to stop charging for an extended period. This improves the utilization rate of the drone. The drone can charge unused batteries simultaneously during flight and charging, meeting the power needs of multiple drones operating within the same confined space for inspections and patrols.
[0052] In this embodiment, when a vehicle carries multiple drones for inspection and other tasks, multiple charging slots 2 on the vehicle can simultaneously charge multiple batteries during the drone's flight mission, ensuring sufficient power supply for the drones. Currently, to address drone power supply issues, considering the poor heat dissipation within the limited space of a vehicle, which could cause safety problems during battery charging, the common approach is to ensure a sufficient number of batteries. In this embodiment, multiple charging slots 2 are set within the limited space of the vehicle for simultaneous charging. After completing a task at one work location, the vehicle moves from one work location to the next. During this movement, temperature detection is performed at various locations on the vehicle during charging. Based on the temperature conditions at each location, the positions of the first-priority charging slots 2, as well as the second-priority and third-priority charging slots 2 under different conditions, are determined at the next work location. This allows for precise guidance of safe and reliable charging within the multiple charging slots 2, maintaining a stable and reliable charging environment for the drone battery packs.
[0053] Example 2
[0054] The vehicle-mounted intelligent charging station for drones differs from Embodiment 1 in that, after the control module receives the start signal, it obtains the corresponding weather forecast and terrain information based on the pre-stored next working location, and determines whether the weather forecast is the preset rainfall amount. The preset rainfall amount is set based on its ability to affect vehicle charging. The weather forecast and terrain information are obtained directly from the network via the network module. The terrain information includes ground slope and ground type. When the weather forecast is the preset rainfall amount, the control module predicts the parking point based on the terrain information. The control module determines whether the ground slope is less than the slope setpoint. When the ground slope is less than the slope setpoint, the control module predicts it as a parking point based on the ground type being water-absorbing. When the ground slope is greater than the slope setpoint, the control module determines to adjust the location of the next working location.
[0055] The difference between the vehicle-mounted intelligent charging method for drones and Embodiment 1 is as follows:
[0056] The process also includes step 6. After the control module receives the start signal, it obtains the corresponding weather forecast and terrain information based on the pre-stored next work location and determines whether the weather forecast is the preset rainfall amount. The weather forecast and terrain information are obtained directly from the network through the network module. The terrain information includes the ground slope and ground type. When the weather forecast is the preset rainfall amount, the control module predicts the parking point based on the terrain information and determines whether the ground slope is less than the slope set value. The slope set value is set based on the situation where the vehicle is likely to slide in the rain after stopping. When the ground slope is less than the slope set value, the control module predicts the parking point as a water-absorbing type. The ground type is water-absorbing when it is a gravel road, dirt road, or water-absorbing brick road. When the ground slope is greater than the slope set value, the control module determines and adjusts the position of the next work location.
[0057] In this embodiment, when the vehicle completes the inspection work of the drone at one work location and moves to the next work location, it obtains weather forecast information and terrain information to determine whether it will rain. If it is raining, the parking location is predicted in advance based on relevant information. The next work location is determined based on the condition that the ground with a small slope and good water absorption is less likely to accumulate water. At the same time, the splash height of raindrops when they hit the ground can be reduced to prevent the charging equipment from being interfered with by rainwater.
[0058] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention, and common knowledge regarding specific structures and characteristics is not elaborated upon here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of the present invention, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention. These modifications and improvements will not affect the effectiveness of the present invention or the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection claimed in this application should be determined by the content of its claims, and the specific embodiments described in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
