[0084] After the user takes out the first drone device, the first storage compartment is closed, and the first state information of the first drone device is updated from an idle state to a use state;

[0085] A first in-and-out log is generated according to the user information, the access request, and the first drone configuration information and stored in a database.

[0086] In this embodiment, the patrol mission can be obtained through user input. For easy distinction, the patrol mission to be executed is recorded as the first patrol mission. The drone equipment required in the first patrol mission is recorded as the first drone equipment, and the first drone configuration information is obtained after the information of the first drone equipment is sorted.

[0087] Get the item information in the drone smart storage cabinet, that is, the item information of all drones loaded in the drone smart storage cabinet. The item information records the drone model, drone accessories and battery information. The drone accessories are accessories that match the current drone model, and the battery information is the battery information of all batteries currently used by the drone.

[0088] In this embodiment, it is also necessary to obtain the first status information, which is the use status of the drone device, and is distinguished from the second status information described later, which is the use status of the storage compartment. The first status information includes the use status, idle status and maintenance status. The maintenance status indicates that the current drone device is undergoing maintenance and cannot perform the patrol mission; the use status indicates that the current drone device is already performing or is about to perform a patrol mission and cannot be selected in the current patrol mission; the idle status indicates that the drone device is not damaged and has not been used to perform a patrol mission, and can be selected for the current patrol mission. According to the first status information, the drone devices in the storage cabinet in the idle state are filtered out, and then according to the item information, the drone devices that are consistent with the drone model in the item information are filtered out, that is, the first drone devices; further, according to the number of first drone devices that need to be used recorded in the first drone configuration information, the first storage compartment where the first drone device is located is opened for the user to take out the first drone device from the first storage compartment.

[0089] After the user takes out the first drone device, the first storage compartment is closed, and the first state information of the first drone device is updated from an idle state to a used state; then a first in-and-out log is generated according to the user information, the access request, and the first drone configuration information and stored in the database.

[0090] In some optional embodiments, after identifying the user taking out the first drone device, first confirmation information is generated for the user to confirm again.

[0096] Update the second inbound and outbound log.

[0097] In this embodiment, the return request includes the currently completed patrol mission. For the sake of distinction, the current patrol mission is recorded as the second patrol mission. The second patrol mission has generated a second in-and-out log and stored it in the database when operating the access request. Based on this, the second in-and-out log can be matched in the database according to the second patrol mission. The second drone configuration information is retrieved from the second in-and-out log to obtain the model of the second drone device.

[0098] Specifically, the second state information of all second storage compartments for storing the second drone device in the current smart storage cabinet is obtained, and the second storage compartments in the second state information that are in a normal state are screened out. Furthermore, the second storage compartments that do not store the drone device in the normal state are screened out and opened so that the user can place the second drone device. After the second drone device is placed, the second storage compartment is closed, and the first state information of the second drone device is updated from the use state to the idle state.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first inbound and outbound log and the second inbound and outbound log may include an outbound work order and an inbound work order for the battery. Both the outbound work order and the inbound work order may include the drone equipment model, the number of drone equipment taken out at a time, user information, the time of taking or returning, etc.

[0100] In some embodiments, the smart storage cabinet has an exchange area, which serves as a transfer platform for placing drone equipment. A movable clamping device can be set in the smart storage cabinet. When a request for access is received, the clamping device clamps the first drone equipment from the opened first storage compartment and places it in the exchange area, and the user takes the first drone equipment from the exchange area; when a return request is received, the user places the second drone equipment in the exchange area, and the clamping device clamps the second drone equipment from the second storage compartment and places it in the opened second storage compartment. This method can prevent users from directly contacting the first storage compartment and the second storage compartment, reduce the probability of damage to the first drone equipment and the second drone equipment due to improper storage by users, reduce the risk of theft of the first drone equipment and the second drone equipment, and improve the storage safety of drone equipment.

[0101] In this embodiment, the service management module 11 is also used to perform data maintenance operations on the drone device. Specifically, the data maintenance includes updating the usage record data of the drone device, updating the first status information of the drone device, and updating the second status information of the storage compartment where the drone device is located.

[0103] Obtain an inventory request, obtain item information and first status information in the drone intelligent storage cabinet according to the inventory request, and record the first status information as first real-time status information;

[0104] According to the item information, the first state information currently recorded by each drone device is filtered out in the database and recorded as the first historical state information;

[0105] Determine one by one whether the first historical status information is consistent with the first real-time status information to obtain multiple judgment results. If the judgment result is that the first historical status information is inconsistent with the first real-time status information, generate first abnormal information and send it to the control unit 15, and sort out the multiple judgment results to obtain an inventory result;

[0106] An inventory report is generated and displayed based on the inventory results, item information, and the first real-time status information.

[0107] In this embodiment, the first status information triggered by the inventory request is recorded as the first real-time status information, and the first status information currently recorded by each drone device is screened out in the database and recorded as the first historical status information, and it is determined whether the first real-time status information is consistent with the first historical status information. If they are inconsistent, it means that there is an abnormality in the first status information of the current drone device, and the first abnormality information is generated and sent to the control unit 15. Furthermore, this embodiment also generates and displays an inventory report based on the inventory results. The inventory report includes the total number of drone devices, the type distribution of drone devices, the evaluation of the first status information of drone devices, the location area of ​​the drone devices with the first abnormal information, etc., so that the user can see the abnormal problems of the current drone devices at a glance and conduct problem troubleshooting in a timely manner.

[0108] In this embodiment, a battery management module 12 is also included. The battery management module 12 is used to manage the charge and discharge of the battery in each storage compartment. Specifically, the battery information includes battery power, battery current, battery voltage, battery model, battery charge and discharge times, and battery life.

[0109] In this embodiment, an environment management module 13 is also included. The environment management module 13 can monitor the storage environment of each storage compartment, including temperature monitoring, humidity monitoring and smoke monitoring. Taking temperature monitoring as an example, the specific temperature monitoring process is: the environment management module 13 can regularly obtain the temperature information of the storage compartment to determine whether the current temperature is suitable for storing the drone equipment. If not, the temperature in the storage compartment is adjusted to maintain the temperature in the storage compartment within the temperature range required for the storage of the drone equipment. The process of humidity monitoring is similar to the process of temperature monitoring. When the drone equipment or storage compartment spontaneously combusts, smoke will be generated. Under some objective conditions, such as when the storage compartment is left in an open state for a long time, the smoke concentration in the storage compartment will gradually increase. Under this premise, the present embodiment sets a smoke sensor and uses the environment management module 13 to regularly obtain the smoke distribution degree of each storage compartment. When there are problems such as spontaneous combustion, the third abnormal information can be generated in time for feedback to improve the safety of the drone storage in the remaining storage compartments.

[0110] In this embodiment, the control unit 15 is used to perform the management and maintenance of the business management module 11, the battery management module 12 and the environment management module 13.

When logging in to the account, the control unit 15 synchronously obtains the user information and configures the use rights of the terminal management module 14 according to the user information. The data of the business management module 11 placed in the use rights is shared with the terminal management module 14, which is convenient for users to consult. This method is suitable for the precise allocation of users at multiple levels, reducing the risk of data being edited and misappropriated, and can also assist enterprises in the management and allocation of users at different levels.

[0115] In this embodiment, the user can input an operation instruction in the terminal management module 14 of the terminal, and the terminal management module 14 obtains the user operation instruction and then sends the operation instruction to the business management module 11, so that the business management module 11 performs the corresponding interactive operation according to the operation instruction. The operation instruction includes one of a take request, a return request, and an inventory request.

[0116] Specifically, an actual example of the terminal management module 14 is as follows:

[0117] The home page of the terminal management module 14 is the entrance to the storage cabinet environment viewing, assets, pre-collection, alarm, and viewing functions. The asset page of the terminal management module 14 can view the asset information of various types of drones and corresponding batteries. The alarm page of the terminal management module 14 can view abnormal drones, abnormal battery information, drone information that has not been returned in time, and abnormal storage location information. The viewing function page of the terminal management module 14 can view the statistics of drones and batteries in and out of the warehouse, abnormal statistics, asset statistics, and alarm statistics, and supports the penetration viewing function. The asset management page of the terminal management module 14 can encode and manage the status of drone boxes, battery boxes, batteries, and drones. The storage cabinet management page of the terminal management module 14 can define the storage locations in the storage cabinet, and perform data mapping management in the management system according to the dynamic configuration of the smart charging storage cabinet. At the same time, the use status of the smart cabinet can be set, such as normal and disabled; the storage cabinet management page of the terminal management module 14 can also manage and configure the drone storage box and drone battery box in the storage cabinet, and can view the number and status of the box, as well as configure and manage the box.

[0118] This embodiment realizes the communication connection between the user and the smart storage cabinet by setting up the terminal management module 14. When in use, the user can first input the patrol task or required operation instructions in the terminal management module 14, saving the on-site operation time after arriving at the smart storage cabinet and improving efficiency.

[0119] See also Figure 2 In a second aspect, the present invention further provides a drone management method based on a drone intelligent storage cabinet, which is applicable to the management system described in the first aspect, and the method comprises:

[0120] S1. The control unit obtains user information and configures the use rights of the service management module according to the user information;

[0121] S2. Under the use authority, the business management module receives a first operation instruction, and performs an entry and exit management operation on the drone equipment based on the first management instruction; and the business management module receives a second management instruction, and performs an inventory of the drone equipment in the drone intelligent storage cabinet based on the second operation instruction, obtains an inventory result, determines whether the inventory result is abnormal, and if the inventory result is abnormal, generates a first abnormal information and sends it to the control unit;

[0122] S3, the battery management module obtains all battery information in the drone intelligent storage cabinet according to the preset frequency, and charges or discharges the battery in each storage compartment according to the battery information;

[0123] S4. The environmental management module obtains the environmental information of each storage compartment in the drone intelligent storage cabinet, and performs temperature control, humidity control and smoke monitoring on each storage compartment according to the environmental information.

[0124] In step S1, the control unit obtains user information. Specifically, the user can use fingerprint / voiceprint / iris and other input forms to log in to the user's account in the smart storage cabinet. After the account is logged in, the control unit simultaneously obtains the user information and configures the use rights of the business management module according to the user information.

[0125] In step S2, after the control unit is configured, the user can enter an operation instruction on the smart storage cabinet. For easy distinction, the operation instruction is divided into a first operation instruction and a second operation instruction, wherein the first operation instruction is a retrieval request or a return request, and the second operation instruction is an inventory request. Under the use authority, the business management module performs in-and-out warehouse management operations on the drone equipment based on the first management instruction. The business management module can also perform an inventory of the drone equipment based on the second management instruction, and judge the obtained inventory results. If there is an abnormality in the inventory result, a first abnormality information is generated and sent to the control unit.

[0126] It should be noted that there are many types of abnormalities in the inventory results, such as the first historical status information of the drone equipment is the use status, but the first real-time status information of the drone equipment is the maintenance status; for example, the first in-and-out log records that the first drone equipment has been collected, but it is found during the inventory that the first drone equipment is still placed in the smart storage cabinet; for example, the second in-and-out log records that the second drone equipment has been returned, but it is found during the inventory that the second drone equipment is not placed in the smart storage cabinet. After receiving the first abnormal information, the control unit will generate a first prompt information based on the first abnormal information and send it to the corresponding user terminal so that the user can notice the abnormal problem in time.

[0127] In step S3, the battery management module regularly obtains the battery information in the smart storage cabinet, and charges and discharges the battery according to the battery information. This method can realize scientific and refined management of the batteries in the smart storage cabinet, standardize the battery maintenance requirements, extend the battery life, and reduce the risk of battery damage caused by improper maintenance.

[0128] In step S4, the environment management module obtains the environment information of each storage compartment in the drone intelligent storage cabinet, and then performs temperature control, humidity control and smoke monitoring on each storage compartment according to the environment information. Taking temperature monitoring as an example, the specific temperature monitoring process is as follows: the environment management module can regularly obtain the temperature information of the storage compartment, determine whether the current temperature is suitable for storing drone equipment, and if not, adjust the temperature in the storage compartment so that the temperature in the storage compartment is maintained within the temperature range required for storing drone equipment. The process of humidity monitoring is similar to the process of temperature monitoring. When the drone equipment or storage compartment spontaneously combusts, smoke will be generated. Under some objective conditions, such as when the storage compartment is left in an open state for a long time, the smoke concentration in the storage compartment will gradually increase. Under this premise, the present embodiment sets a smoke sensor, and uses the environment management module to regularly obtain the smoke distribution degree of each storage compartment. When there are problems such as spontaneous combustion, the third abnormal information can be generated in time for feedback to improve the safety of drone storage in the remaining storage compartments.

[0129] Specifically, the management process of the environment management module is as follows:

[0130] Design a constant temperature and humidity control module to ensure that the battery storage environment is within the range of 22℃~28℃ and 40%~60% humidity. The temperature control device and humidity control device can automatically adjust the corresponding values ​​and keep them stable. Set up a backup power supply and fault alarm device to ensure the adjustment stability and reliability of the environmental management module.

[0131] Design intelligent smoke sensor detection and control devices to ensure that in the event of a fire, an alarm notification is issued immediately, and the fire extinguishing device is automatically activated to control the fire within the smallest range, thereby improving the safety and reliability of drone battery charging and storage;

[0132] Design an intelligent drone storage cabinet security system that integrates video surveillance and behavioral environment recognition to ensure the safe storage of drones, batteries and other assets. Real-time monitoring of the storage cabinet interior, identification of abnormal events and sending alarms. At the same time, monitoring of storage cabinet environmental parameters and personnel behavior patterns to prevent safety hazards. The open flame recognition function responds to fire risks in a timely manner. Stable and reliable, it supports linkage with other security equipment to improve security efficiency.

[0133] In some embodiments, fire safety settings are also included:

[0134] Large-capacity lithium batteries for drones are dangerous and explosive items, so safe battery management is particularly important. The main causes of battery fires are as follows:

[0135] (1) The battery is fully charged for a long time;

[0136] (2) The storage cabinet temperature is too high;

[0137] (3) Aging of electrical equipment in the storage cabinet.

[0138] In view of the above potential causes, this embodiment adopts the following means for security protection:

[0139] (1) Fire-fighting facilities are installed in the storage cabinet and the fire-fighting facilities should meet the fire-fighting requirements;

[0140] (2) Set the battery "storage state" to charge and discharge the battery, and keep the battery power no higher than 60% under normal circumstances;

[0141] (3) Provide a reservation method for collecting batteries. After the reservation, the storage cabinet will automatically slow charge the drone's reserved batteries at a fixed time. At the same time, the storage cabinet is required to store all types of batteries at full charge at 15%;

[0142] (4) Each battery storage compartment is made of soluble gel material and has an automatic fire-fighting device to ensure rapid and automatic fire extinguishing in the event of a fire;

[0143] (5) The smart charging storage rack adopts sheet metal technology and V0 grade fireproof / flame retardant material as main components to prevent the occurrence of secondary fires;

[0144] (6) Real-time monitoring of the temperature, humidity, smoke, and open flames of the drone intelligent unmanned storage cabinet. If the above monitoring meets the alarm conditions, the storage cabinet will automatically cut off the power, the electric door will automatically open, and the storage cabinet alarm will be issued. At the same time, relevant personnel will be notified.

[0145] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0146] Obtain storage compartment information and item information of the drone intelligent storage cabinet, map and store the storage compartment information and item information, the item information includes battery information, the storage compartment information includes identification information of the storage compartment and usage status information of the storage compartment, and record the usage status information of the storage compartment as second status information, and the second status information includes a normal state and a disabled state.

[0147] Specifically, multiple storage compartments in the smart storage cabinet are defined. The storage compartments are dynamically configured according to the placement requirements of the storage cabinet. Furthermore, data mapping management is performed in the management system to set the use status of each storage compartment in the storage cabinet, such as normal, disabled; further, the drone storage boxes and drone battery boxes contained in the storage cabinet are managed and configured, and the number and status of drone storage and drone battery boxes can be checked, as well as the configuration management of drone storage boxes and drone battery boxes. It should be noted that the drone storage box can be a box placed separately in the storage compartment, or the storage compartment can be set as a drone storage box. Similarly, the drone battery box can also be understood with reference to the drone storage box.

[0148] This method can realize the monitoring and management of multiple storage compartments in the entire smart storage cabinet, which is convenient for improving the refined management needs of the entire drone storage.

[0149] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0150] Retrieving item information according to the first operation instruction;

[0151] Filter the storage grid information according to the item information to obtain the storage grid in a normal state;

[0152] Open the storage compartment according to the identification information of the storage compartment;

[0153] Matching the category of the first operation instruction;

[0154] If the first operation instruction is a request for access, the drone in the storage compartment is moved to the exchange area;

[0155] If the first operation instruction is a return request, the drone in the exchange area is moved to the storage grid.

[0156] Specifically, in some embodiments, the business management module is used to perform in-and-out warehouse management operations on drone equipment, including:

[0157] receiving a request for access, the request for access including a patrol mission to be currently executed, recorded as a first patrol mission, generating first drone configuration information according to the first patrol mission, the first drone configuration information including a first drone device of a drone model required for the first patrol mission;

[0158] Acquire item information and first status information in the drone intelligent storage cabinet, where the first status information includes an idle state, a use state, and a maintenance state;

[0159] A first storage compartment to which a first drone device in an idle state belongs is obtained by screening according to the item information, the first state information, and the first drone configuration information, and the first storage compartment is opened;

[0160] After the user takes out the first drone device, the first storage compartment is closed, and the first state information of the first drone device is updated from an idle state to a use state;

[0161] A first in-and-out log is generated according to the user information, the access request, and the first drone configuration information and stored in a database.

[0162] In this embodiment, the patrol mission can be obtained through user input. For easy distinction, the patrol mission to be executed is recorded as the first patrol mission. The drone equipment required in the first patrol mission is recorded as the first drone equipment, and the first drone configuration information is obtained after the information of the first drone equipment is sorted.

[0163] Get the item information in the drone smart storage cabinet, that is, the item information of all drones loaded in the drone smart storage cabinet. The item information records the drone model, drone accessories and battery information. The drone accessories are accessories that match the current drone model, and the battery information is the battery information of all batteries currently used by the drone.

[0164] In this embodiment, it is also necessary to obtain the first status information, which is the use status of the drone device, and is distinguished from the second status information described later, which is the use status of the storage compartment. The first status information includes the use status, idle status and maintenance status. The maintenance status indicates that the current drone device is undergoing maintenance and cannot perform the patrol mission; the use status indicates that the current drone device is already performing or is about to perform a patrol mission and cannot be selected in the current patrol mission; the idle status indicates that the drone device is not damaged and has not been used to perform a patrol mission, and can be selected for the current patrol mission. According to the first status information, the drone devices in the storage cabinet in the idle state are filtered out, and then according to the item information, the drone devices that are consistent with the drone model in the item information are filtered out, that is, the first drone devices; further, according to the number of first drone devices that need to be used recorded in the first drone configuration information, the first storage compartment where the first drone device is located is opened for the user to take out the first drone device from the first storage compartment.

[0165] After the user takes out the first drone device, the first storage compartment is closed, and the first state information of the first drone device is updated from an idle state to a used state; then a first in-and-out log is generated according to the user information, the access request, and the first drone configuration information and stored in the database.

[0166] In some optional embodiments, after identifying the user taking out the first drone device, first confirmation information is generated for the user to confirm again. The first confirmation information includes the model of the first drone device and the number of the first drones. After the user confirms, a first entry and exit log is generated and stored to record the drone's one-time use process.

[0167] In some embodiments, the business management module is used to perform in-and-out management operations on the drone equipment and further includes:

[0168] receiving a return request, the return request including the currently completed patrol mission, recorded as the second patrol mission, and matching the second in-and-out log in the database according to the second patrol mission;

[0169] Retrieving the second drone configuration information in the second storage entry and exit log, where the second drone configuration information includes a second drone device of a drone model required for the second patrol mission;

[0170] A second storage compartment of a second drone device in use is obtained by filtering according to the configuration information of the second drone and opening the compartment;

[0171] After the user returns the second drone device, the second storage compartment is closed, and the first state information of the second drone device is updated from a use state to an idle state;

[0172] Update the second inbound and outbound log.

[0173] In this embodiment, the return request includes the currently completed patrol mission. For the sake of distinction, the current patrol mission is recorded as the second patrol mission. The second patrol mission has generated a second in-and-out log and stored it in the database when operating the access request. Based on this, the second in-and-out log can be matched in the database according to the second patrol mission. The second drone configuration information is retrieved from the second in-and-out log to obtain the model of the second drone device.

[0174] Specifically, the second state information of all second storage compartments for storing the second drone device in the current smart storage cabinet is obtained, and the second storage compartments in the second state information that are in a normal state are screened out. Furthermore, the second storage compartments that do not store the drone device in the normal state are screened out and opened so that the user can place the second drone device. After the second drone device is placed, the second storage compartment is closed, and the first state information of the second drone device is updated from the use state to the idle state.

[0175] In some embodiments, the first inbound and outbound log and the second inbound and outbound log may include an outbound work order and an inbound work order for the battery. Both the outbound work order and the inbound work order may include the drone equipment model, the number of drone equipment taken out at a time, user information, the time of taking or returning, etc.

[0176] In some embodiments, the smart storage cabinet has an exchange area, which serves as a transfer platform for placing drone equipment. A movable clamping device can be set in the smart storage cabinet. When a request for access is received, the clamping device clamps the first drone equipment from the opened first storage compartment and places it in the exchange area, and the user takes the first drone equipment from the exchange area; when a return request is received, the user places the second drone equipment in the exchange area, and the clamping device clamps the second drone equipment from the second storage compartment and places it in the opened second storage compartment. This method can prevent users from directly contacting the first storage compartment and the second storage compartment, reduce the probability of damage to the first drone equipment and the second drone equipment due to improper storage by users, reduce the risk of theft of the first drone equipment and the second drone equipment, and improve the storage safety of drone equipment.

[0177] In some embodiments, the second management instruction includes a first inventory request and a second inventory request, the inventory result includes a first inventory result and a second inventory result, the business management module receives the second management instruction, and performs an inventory on the drone device in the drone smart storage cabinet based on the second operation instruction, and the inventory result also includes:

[0178] The business management module performs an inventory of the in-and-out records, the first status information, and the second status information of the drone equipment in the drone intelligent storage cabinet based on the first inventory request to obtain a first inventory result;

[0179] The service management module calls the battery management module to perform an inventory of the battery information based on the second inventory request to obtain a second inventory result;

[0180] The first count results and the second count results are displayed.

[0181] For the convenience of distinction, after obtaining the inventory request, the inventory request is divided into a first inventory request and a second inventory request, wherein the item information and the first status information in the drone intelligent storage cabinet are obtained according to the first inventory request, and the first status information is recorded as the first real-time status information;

[0182] According to the item information, the first state information currently recorded by each drone device is filtered out in the database and recorded as the first historical state information;

[0183] Determine one by one whether the first historical status information is consistent with the first real-time status information to obtain multiple judgment results. If the judgment result is that the first historical status information is inconsistent with the first real-time status information, generate first abnormal information and send it to the control unit, and sort out the multiple judgment results to obtain a first inventory result;

[0184] A first inventory report is generated and displayed according to the first inventory result, the item information and the first real-time status information.

[0185] In this embodiment, the first status information triggered by the first inventory request is recorded as the first real-time status information, and the first status information currently recorded by each drone device is screened out in the database and recorded as the first historical status information. It is determined whether the first real-time status information is consistent with the first historical status information. If they are inconsistent, it indicates that there is an abnormality in the first status information of the current drone device, and the first abnormality information is generated and sent to the control unit. Among them, the first inventory result can also specifically include the identification number, model, remote control available status, drone available status, storage location, whether there is a corresponding available battery, drone corresponding abnormal information, etc. of the drone device. Further, this embodiment also generates and displays the first inventory report based on the first inventory result. The first inventory report includes the total number of drone devices, the type distribution of drone devices, the evaluation of the first status information of drone devices, the location area of ​​the drone devices with the first abnormal information, etc., so that the user can see the abnormal problems of the current drone device at a glance and troubleshoot the problems in time. This embodiment can inventory the drone devices.

[0186] Furthermore, this embodiment also includes a second inventory request, which is for the inventory of batteries. Specifically, it supports taking inventory of the batteries in the storage cabinet to obtain a second inventory result. The second inventory result includes battery type, current voltage, charging status, remaining power, available status, number of charging cycles, battery-related abnormal information, etc.

[0187] Finally, a final inventory report can be generated based on the first and second inventory results, recorded as the final inventory report. The final inventory report collects statistics on storage, warehousing, pending returns, user behavior, battery status and other dimensional data of the drone equipment in the storage cabinet, and displays the data.

[0188] In some embodiments, the preset frequency includes a first preset frequency and a second preset frequency, and the battery management module obtains all battery information in the drone intelligent storage cabinet according to the preset frequency, and performs charging or discharging operations on the battery in each storage compartment according to the battery information, including:

[0189] Collecting the battery voltage of each battery in the drone intelligent storage cabinet according to a first preset frequency and updating the battery information;

[0190] Collect the battery current of each battery in the drone intelligent storage cabinet according to a second preset frequency and update the battery information;

[0191] Determine whether the battery information meets the charging conditions one by one, and if so, charge the battery corresponding to the battery information;

[0192] Acquire discharge information of each battery, where the discharge information includes at least one of a discharge current, a discharge voltage, and a discharge temperature;

[0193] Determine whether the discharge information is abnormal one by one, and if so, generate second abnormal information according to the battery information and the discharge information and send it to the control unit.

[0194] In this embodiment, the first preset frequency and the second preset frequency may be the same, or may be set according to actual needs. Wherein, judging whether the battery information satisfies the charging condition one by one, and if so, charging the battery corresponding to the battery information further includes:

[0195] Obtain the battery power and determine whether the battery power is within a preset battery power threshold. If so, charge the battery corresponding to the battery information.

[0196] Specifically, the preset battery power threshold may be a criterion for determining whether the drone device is in a low-battery state.

[0197] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the charging condition may also be a match to an operation instruction. For example, the first operation instruction is a request instruction, and the method further includes:

[0198] The service management module generates first drone configuration information according to the first operation instruction;

[0199] The service management module obtains battery information of a battery required by the first drone device according to the first drone configuration information, and records the information as first battery information;

[0200] It is determined whether the first battery information meets the charging condition, and if so, the battery corresponding to the first battery information is charged.

[0201] For example, when the operation instruction belongs to a request for use, the battery of the drone equipment required for the patrol mission contained in the operation instruction needs to be charged in advance. That is, make an appointment for use and charge in advance. For another example, the charging condition can be preset, and specifically can be: set 15% of the total number of batteries of each model to always be fully charged for emergency use. Optionally, if the fully charged battery is not used, the battery power can be automatically released at night on the next day to ensure the charging and discharging performance of the battery. For another example, the charging condition can also be preset to balance the charging of multiple batteries so that the power of each battery is placed in the same power range. Specifically, the power range is set to 80% to 90%, and the battery with higher power can be charged first. When the battery with higher power reaches the range of 80% to 90%, the battery with power handover is charged, and each battery is charged one by one until all batteries reach the power range of 80% to 90%.

[0202] In this embodiment, the battery management module can also monitor the battery working status. During the battery charging and discharging process, the battery voltage and temperature, charging and discharging current and total voltage of the battery pack are collected in real time to prevent the battery from being overcharged or over-discharged. Combined with the battery charging and discharging information, the information generated after the user receives the battery, etc., the battery usage is analyzed from multiple dimensions, the battery quality is analyzed, and the information of batteries that require maintenance and scrapping is automatically obtained. Specifically, the battery quality can be analyzed in multiple dimensions using parameters such as the number of charge and discharge times, battery capacity, and battery health value, and the analysis results are finally obtained.

[0203] Furthermore, the battery management module can perform temperature control, health monitoring, and charging speed control on the battery, as shown below:
