[0121] Working principle: Four LT8708 chips are connected in parallel to achieve 1500W power stabilization. LT8708 is a high-efficiency DCDC converter chip with high conversion efficiency and stable output performance. By connecting four LT8708 chips in parallel, stable voltage output can be achieved under high power output conditions to meet the working rated voltage requirements of the UAV rotor motor. In order to ensure that the four LT8708 chips evenly distribute the load current, a current balancing circuit design is adopted.

[0122] At the same time, all power MOS tubes are distributed on the back of the power board, so that the space on the back can be effectively used for heat dissipation. The power MOS tube is an important part of the full-power DCDC converter. It will generate a lot of heat when working. A heat sink is installed on the power board. The heat conductive material is in direct contact with the power MOS tube. The heat conductive material can efficiently transfer the heat generated by the MOS tube to the heat sink. The heat sink dissipates the heat through convection heat exchange with the surrounding air, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency and ensuring the stable operation of the system under high load;
[0123] The auxiliary lithium battery of the hydrogen fuel cell system is charged and discharged simultaneously through dual interfaces, which include a charging interface and a discharging interface. The charging interface is used to evenly charge the lithium battery to ensure that the lithium battery maintains the best power state during use. The discharging interface is connected to the power system of the drone to dynamically compensate the hydrogen fuel cell stack. When the hydrogen fuel cell stack is outputting at high power, the auxiliary lithium battery can provide additional power support to ensure the stability and reliability of the system.
[0124] At the same time, the LTC6102 current sensor and bridge circuit voltage divider are used to monitor the current and voltage of the battery stack, lithium battery and load in real time. The LTC6102 current sensor has the characteristics of high precision and low power consumption, and is suitable for use in application scenarios such as drones that have strict requirements on weight and power consumption.
[0125] All sampled current and voltage signals are converted into 1V-5V analog signals and transmitted to the UAV control system through the sampling interface. The control system can monitor these signals in real time, perform data analysis and fault diagnosis, and improve the intelligence level and reliability of the system.

The power control method for a hydrogen fuel cell drone based on a full-power DCDC converter according to claim 2 is characterized in that: In S5, current and voltage sampling: the current and voltage of the battery stack, lithium battery and load are monitored in real time through the LTC6102 current sensor and the bridge circuit voltage divider; Signal conversion: The sampled current and voltage signals are converted into 1V-5V analog signals and transmitted to the drone’s built-in control system; Data monitoring and fault diagnosis: The control system analyzes analog signals, monitors system status, and performs fault diagnosis to ensure the normal operation of the system.
9. The power control method for a hydrogen fuel cell drone based on a full-power DCDC converter according to claim 1, characterized in that: In S6, overcurrent protection: When the system detects that the current exceeds the safety threshold, the overcurrent protection circuit will immediately cut off the power supply to prevent system damage; Overvoltage protection: When the system voltage exceeds the safe range, the overvoltage protection circuit will start to reduce the voltage to prevent system failure; Over-temperature protection: When the system temperature exceeds the safe range, the over-temperature protection circuit will take cooling measures to ensure that the system operates within the safe temperature range.
10. The power control method for a hydrogen fuel cell drone based on a full-power DCDC converter according to claim 1, characterized in that: In S7, normal shutdown: when the task is completed or the system needs to be shut down, the control system gradually reduces the load according to the predetermined procedure, shuts down various mechanisms, and ensures safe power outage; Emergency power off: In case of irrecoverable faults or emergencies, the system will implement emergency power off through protection circuits to prevent damage and accidents.
