[0041] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. The present application, however, can be practiced in a variety of ways other than those specifically described herein, and the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein as these can vary.
[0042] Secondly, the "one embodiment" or "embodiment" referred to herein means that the specific features, structures or characteristics can be included in at least one implementation of the present application. "In one embodiment" appearing in different places in the specification does not mean the same embodiment, nor is it an embodiment that is independent of or mutually exclusive of other embodiments.
[0043] Embodiment 1
[0044] Reference Figures 1-2 For the first embodiment of the present application, the embodiment provides a wireless laser charging method based on a UAV, comprising,
[0045] S1: collimate the divergent light beam into a parallel light beam by the laser emitter device, and expand the diameter of the input light beam.
[0046] S1.1: inject energy into the photovoltaic array of the UAV by the laser.
[0047] Specifically, during the energy injection process, the laser will undergo three processes of spontaneous emission, stimulated emission and stimulated absorption when emitting light, so as to transfer particles from low energy level to high energy level. In order to adjust the focal length and diameter of the light beam of the laser, the collimator and the beam expander are used for adaptation.
[0048] Further, spontaneous emission is the transition of an atom from a high energy level E2 to a low energy level E1, while generating a photon. The specific formula of the photon energy is as follows:
[0049] E y = E2 - E1
[0050] Wherein, y is the frequency of light wave, E1 is the low energy level, E2 is the high energy level, E = 6.624 x 10 -34 J·S is the Planck constant.
[0051] It should be noted that the spontaneous emission of each atom is independent, which means that the state of the photon generated by spontaneous emission is random.
[0052] Further, stimulated emission is the transition of an atom from a high energy level E2 to a low energy level E1, while generating a photon. The specific formula of the photon energy is as follows: yE2-E1, the atom transits from high energy level E2 to low energy level E1, and a photon with the same state as the excitation photon is generated, under the action of frequency y, the atom absorbs a photon energy and transits from low energy level E1 to high energy level E2.
[0053] S1.2: According to the beam diameter and emission angle of the laser, the focal length of the collimator is calculated.
[0054] Specifically, the specific formula of the focal length of the collimator is as follows:

[0056] Wherein, F is the focal length of the collimator, D is the diameter of the input beam, and theta is the divergence angle.
[0057] S1.3: According to the diameter of the laser output beam and the beam expansion angle of the target, the focal length of the beam expander is calculated.
[0058] Further, the specific formula of the focal length of the beam expander is as follows:
[0059]
[0060] Wherein, K is the focal length of the beam expander, D is the diameter of the input beam, and S is the beam expansion angle.
[0061] It should be noted that laser is generated and amplified by stimulated emission process, in order to realize stimulated emission, it is necessary to continuously inject external energy into the working substance, so that the light-emitting particles are gradually excited from low energy level to high energy level; This leads to fewer low energy level particles and more high energy level particles, which realizes the inversion of particle number.
[0062] Further, when the particle distribution in the working substance is inverted, the stimulated emission is stronger than the stimulated absorption; When the working substance encounters a beam with frequency y, the light intensity is amplified.
[0063] Specifically, if there is no incident beam, as long as there are photons with appropriate frequency in the working substance, many photons with the same state can be generated rapidly to form laser; By adjusting the parameters of the collimator and the beam expander, the best energy transmission efficiency is achieved.

[0067] S2.2: Calculate the intensity of the light source and the position of the spot center by measuring the output voltage of the sensor, and compare the output voltage difference of each pair of sensors.
[0068] Specifically, when the output voltage of the photoresistor is linearly related to the intensity of the light source, the resistance of the photoresistor is calculated:
[0069]
[0070] Where R is the resistance of the photoresistor, Vref is the reference voltage, V is the output voltage of the photoresistor, and I is the output current of the photoresistor.
[0071] Further, compare the output voltages of the two sensors, when U A > U a , it is determined that the spot center is located below the sensor A and the sensor a; when U A < U a , it is determined that the spot center is located above the sensor A and the sensor a; when U D > U d , it is determined that the spot center is located above the sensor D and the sensor d; when U D > U d , it is determined that the spot center is located below the sensor D and the sensor d.
[0072] S2.3: Determine the position of the spot center according to the output voltage difference, and adjust the position of the ground turntable accordingly.
[0073] Further, according to the judgment result, adjust the position of the ground turntable until the corresponding condition U A > U a is met.
[0074] S3: Convert the laser charging signal into electrical energy through the photovoltaic array, and charge the unmanned aerial vehicle through the constant current circuit.

[0080]
[0081] Wherein, I is the output of the photovoltaic cell current, η is the photoelectric conversion efficiency, Pin is the photovoltaic cell received light power density, e is the charge of the elementary charge.
[0082] Specifically, according to the obtained light power density, the area of the photovoltaic array and the photoelectric conversion efficiency, the converted output electric energy is calculated, and the specific formula is as follows:
[0083] S = Pin x area x η
[0084] Wherein, S is the output of the photovoltaic cell current, Pin is the light power density, η is the photoelectric conversion efficiency, and area is the area of the photovoltaic array.
[0085] Further, the total power of the light source is measured using the optical power meter, the cross-sectional area of the light beam is calculated according to the shape of the light beam by measuring the radius of the light beam, and the specific formula of the light power density is as follows:
[0086]
[0087] A 圆 = πr 2
[0088] A 矩 = w x h

[0092] Specifically, the charging control detects the voltage and charging current of the photovoltaic cell; determine whether the charging current meets the required charging current of each stage.
[0093] Further, when the charging current meets the required charging current of the current stage, the current charging current is maintained and the photovoltaic cell is continuously provided with corresponding electric energy; when the charging current does not meet the required charging current of the current stage, the control system is instructed to adjust the output power of the laser according to the relationship G = 34.21I m -0.07, the power of the laser is adjusted, wherein, I m represents the maximum power point current.
[0094] Further, if the output current of the photovoltaic array after the power of the laser is adjusted still meets the required charging current of the current stage, the changes of the charging current and the voltage are continuously monitored to ensure that the charging current is maintained within the required range; if the output current of the photovoltaic array after the power of the laser is adjusted still does not meet the required charging current of the current stage, the control system two is instructed to finely adjust the output power of the laser by one unit until the output current meets the required charging current.
[0095] Further, if the output current is greater than the required charging current, the constant current is used to change the duty cycle of the switching signal through PID operation to output the set current value; if it is detected that the voltage of the battery exceeds the switching voltage, the charging current is transferred to the charging current of the next stage, and the operation process is repeated until the charging of each stage is completed and the photovoltaic cell is stopped charging.
