Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unmanned ship charging, and in particular to a charging method for an unmanned algae-controlling ship. Background Art

[0002] In the field of environmental protection and water management, unmanned algae boats have been widely used in recent years as an efficient and intelligent water surface cleaning equipment. Through autonomous navigation and intelligent control systems, these ships can accurately remove algae in waters and maintain clean water quality.

[0003] However, the endurance and charging management of unmanned algae-controlled boats are key factors affecting their work efficiency and practicality. Usually, since unmanned algae-controlled boats need to operate continuously in vast waters, their battery power is consumed quickly. Improper power management may cause the boat to stop working early, and even affect the progress of water area management. Specifically, when a traditional single battery drives a ship, a single battery is charged and discharged at the same time, which causes a large loss to the battery and greatly shortens the battery life. When two batteries are used alternately to drive the ship, the battery utilization rate is 50%, and there are problems of low battery utilization and very limited life. Therefore, a charging method for unmanned algae-controlled boats is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0004] 1. Technical issues to be solved

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a charging method for an unmanned algae-controlled boat, which has the advantages of long battery life and high utilization rate. It solves the problem that when a traditional single battery is used to drive a ship, the battery loss is large, and when two batteries are used alternately to drive the ship, the battery utilization rate is low and the life is very limited.

[0006] (II) Technical solution

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of long battery life and high utilization rate, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] A charging method for an unmanned algae-controlled boat comprises a hull, wherein a main battery is arranged on the hull, a charging component is arranged on the main battery, the charging component is provided with two gears of fast charging and slow charging, and can identify whether the hull is working.

[0009] The unmanned algae boat charging method comprises the following steps:

[0010] S1: The total power is higher than the first preset value, the hull is in a safe state, and the total battery is not charged;

[0011] S2: The total power is lower than the first preset value and higher than the second preset value, the hull is in a normal state, and the total battery is slowly charged;

[0012] S3: The total power is lower than the second preset value and higher than the third preset value, the hull is in a load state, and the total battery can be fast charged or slow charged;

[0013] S4: The total power is lower than the third preset value, the hull is in a dangerous state, and the total battery needs to be charged quickly.

[0014] The preferred technical solution of the present invention is that the total battery includes four secondary batteries, each of the secondary batteries has three different states, namely a secondary battery supplying power, a fully charged secondary battery and a non-charged secondary battery, the actual power sum of the four secondary batteries is the total power, and the power capacity of each secondary battery is the same.

[0015] The preferred technical solution of the present invention is that the four secondary batteries are arranged in a straight line to supply power to the hull in turn in a cycle, and the secondary battery currently supplying power is the highest-level secondary battery, and the secondary battery supplying power last is the lowest-level secondary battery, and the charging component gives priority to charging the lower-level secondary batteries.

[0016] The preferred technical solution of the present invention is that the first preset value in the step S1 is the sum of the capacities of the three secondary batteries, that is, 75% of the total capacity, and in the safe state, one secondary battery supplies power and the remaining three secondary batteries are fully charged.

[0017] The preferred technical solution of the present invention is that the second preset value in the step S2 is the sum of the capacities of the two secondary batteries, that is, 50% of the total capacity. In the normal state, there are two fully charged secondary batteries, one dead secondary battery and one powered secondary battery. The charging component charges the dead secondary battery, and returns to step S1 after the dead secondary battery is fully charged.

[0018] The preferred technical solution of the present invention is that the third preset value in the S3 step is the capacity of a secondary battery, that is, 25% of the total capacity, and in the load state there is a fully charged secondary battery, two dead secondary batteries and a powered secondary battery, and the charging component identifies whether the hull is working, and if the hull is working, the charging component fast charges one of the dead secondary batteries, and when one secondary battery is fully charged, step S2 is performed, and if the hull is not working, the charging component slow charges one of the dead secondary batteries, and returns to step S2 when one secondary battery is fully charged.

[0019] The preferred technical solution of the present invention is that in the dangerous state in step S4, there are three dead secondary batteries and one powered secondary battery, and the charging component fast charges one of the dead secondary batteries, and returns to step S3 when one secondary battery is fully charged.

[0020] (III) Beneficial effects

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a charging method for an unmanned algae-controlled boat, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] The charging method of the unmanned algae-controlled boat aims to dynamically adjust the charging strategy and charging speed according to the actual power level and operating status of the boat to ensure that the unmanned algae-controlled boat can work continuously and stably. Specifically, when the total power is high, the boat is in a safe state and no charging is performed at this time to extend the battery life; when the power is reduced to a certain level, slow charging or fast charging is selected according to the specific situation to ensure that the boat can quickly restore power and continue to operate. This intelligent charging management not only improves the endurance of the unmanned algae-controlled boat, but also makes it more adaptable to complex and changeable water environments.

[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0032] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0033] At present, the driving mode of unmanned algae control boats is gradually tending towards new energy, among which electric drive has become the first choice. The reason is that electricity is pollution-free and more in line with the ecological and environmental protection concept of algae control boats. At the same time, electricity can be converted and generated in a variety of ways, among which wind power generation and solar power generation technologies are becoming more mature. Unmanned algae control boats charged based on the above conditions have also begun to be mass-produced.

[0034] See also Figure 1-6 In order to improve the battery life of the algae control boat, a charging method for an unmanned algae control boat is proposed, comprising a hull 1, a main battery 2 is arranged on the hull 1, a charging component 3 is arranged on the main battery 2, the charging component 3 is provided with two gears of fast charging and slow charging, and can identify whether the hull 1 is working.

[0035] It should be noted that the total battery 2 is used to supply power to the hull 1, and the charging component 3 is used to charge the total battery 2. The charging component 3 can generate electrical energy using solar power generation, wind power generation, and the like.

[0036] In one embodiment, the total battery 2 includes four secondary batteries 21, each secondary battery 21 has three different states, namely, a powered secondary battery 21, a fully charged secondary battery 21, and an uncharged secondary battery 21, the actual power sum of the four secondary batteries 21 is the total power, and the power capacity of each secondary battery 21 is the same.

[0037] It should be noted that the capacity is the maximum charge of the battery.

[0038] In another embodiment, four secondary batteries 21 are arranged in a straight line to supply power to the hull 1 in turn. The secondary battery 21 currently supplying power is the highest-level secondary battery 21, and the secondary battery 21 supplying power last is the lowest-level secondary battery 21. The charging component 3 gives priority to charging the lower-level secondary batteries 21.

[0039] It should be noted that each secondary battery 21 can and can only independently drive the hull 1, and the battery models that can be used by the secondary battery 21 are polymer lithium-ion batteries, 18650 lithium-ion batteries, etc.

[0040] The unmanned algae-controlled boat charging method includes the following steps:

[0041] S1: The total power is higher than the first preset value, the hull 1 is in a safe state, and the total battery 2 is not charged;

[0042] It should be noted that the total power in a safe state is between 75% and 100%. At this time, reducing charging is beneficial to increasing the battery life. Frequent charging of the battery will increase the internal resistance of the battery, reduce the battery capacity, and weaken the power supply capacity.

[0043] In one embodiment, the first preset value in step S1 is the sum of the capacities of the three secondary batteries 21 , which is 75% of the total capacity. In a safe state, one secondary battery 21 supplies power, and the remaining three secondary batteries 21 are fully charged.

[0044] It should be noted that when the secondary battery 21 that supplies power is out of power, the secondary battery 21 at the next level supplies power according to the above-mentioned cyclic power supply method, and at the same time jumps to step S2, and the charging component 3 slowly charges the secondary battery 21 that has run out of power.

[0045] S2: The total power is lower than the first preset value and higher than the second preset value, the hull 1 is in a normal state, and the total battery 2 is slowly charged;

[0046] It should be noted that the total power under normal conditions is between 50% and 75%, which can fully meet the working needs of the unmanned algae control boat. At the same time, slow charging of the secondary battery 21 that has no power is beneficial to increasing the service life of the battery.

[0047] In one embodiment, the second preset value in step S2 is the sum of the capacities of the two secondary batteries 21, which is 50% of the total capacity. Under normal conditions, there are two fully charged secondary batteries 21, one uncharged secondary battery 21, and one powered secondary battery 21. The charging component 3 charges the uncharged secondary battery 21, and returns to step S1 after the uncharged secondary battery 21 is fully charged.

[0048] It should be noted that when the secondary battery 21 that supplies power is out of power, according to the above principle, the process jumps to step S3, and at the same time, step S3 is executed on the secondary battery 21 that is being charged in step S2. After the charging of the secondary battery 21 is completed, the process returns to step S2.

[0049] S3: the total power is lower than the second preset value and higher than the third preset value, the hull 1 is in a load state, and the total battery 2 can be fast charged and slow charged;

[0050] It should be noted that the total power under load is between 25% and 50%, and the total power at this time cannot meet the working needs of the unmanned algae controlled boat. If the unmanned algae controlled boat is in operation, the total battery 2 can be fast charged to prevent the unmanned algae controlled boat from running out of power and causing loss of connection. If the unmanned algae controlled boat is not in operation, the total battery 2 can be slow charged.

[0051] In one embodiment, the third preset value in step S3 is the capacity of a secondary battery 21, which is 25% of the total capacity. In the load state, there is a fully charged secondary battery 21, two uncharged secondary batteries 21 and a powered secondary battery 21. The charging component 3 identifies whether the hull 1 is working. If the hull 1 is working, the charging component 3 fast charges one of the uncharged secondary batteries 21. When one secondary battery 21 is fully charged, step S2 is performed. If the hull 1 is not working, the charging component 3 slow charges one of the uncharged secondary batteries 21. When one secondary battery 21 is fully charged, step S2 is returned.

[0052] It should be noted that when the secondary battery 21 that supplies power is out of power, the process jumps to step S4 , and at the same time, step S4 is executed for the secondary battery 21 that is being charged in step S3 . After the charging of the secondary battery 21 is completed, the process returns to step S3 .

[0053] S4: The total power is lower than the third preset value, the hull 1 is in a dangerous state, and the total battery 2 is fast charged.

[0054] It should be noted that the total power in the dangerous state is 0% to 25%. At this time, the unmanned algae control boat is about to run out of power. If the traditional unmanned algae control boat does not have a fast or slow charging mode, it may cause the unmanned algae control boat to run out of power and fail to work, thereby affecting the efficiency of algae control.

[0055] In one embodiment, in step S4, there are three dead secondary batteries 21 and one powered secondary battery 21 in a dangerous state, and the charging component 3 fast charges one of the dead secondary batteries 21, and returns to step S3 when one secondary battery 21 is fully charged.

[0056] It should be noted that when the secondary battery 21 that supplies power is out of power, the power of the total battery 2 is 0, and the hull 1 cannot work. An alarm can be set on the hull 1 and sound an alarm to facilitate requesting manual intervention.

[0057] To sum up: the charging method of the unmanned algae-controlled boat aims to dynamically adjust the charging strategy and charging speed according to the actual power and operating status of the boat to ensure that the unmanned algae-controlled boat can work continuously and stably. Specifically, when the total power is high, the boat is in a safe state and no charging is performed at this time to extend the battery life; when the power is reduced to a certain level, slow charging or fast charging is selected according to the specific situation to ensure that the boat can quickly restore power and continue to operate. This intelligent charging management not only improves the endurance of the unmanned algae-controlled boat, but also makes it more adaptable to complex and changeable water environments.

[0058] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
