Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle charging, and in particular to a method and device for charging an unmanned aerial vehicle temporarily parked on an AI smart integrated pole. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of drone technology, drones are widely used in many fields such as logistics distribution, agricultural monitoring, public safety and film and television production. However, the endurance and charging efficiency of drones are still the key factors restricting their application. Due to the limited capacity of drone batteries, the low energy transmission efficiency of traditional charging methods leads to long charging time, which affects the efficiency of drone use. There are also safety risks such as overcharging and short circuit in the charging process of drone batteries. Different models of drones use different types of batteries and charging devices, which makes the compatibility of charging devices a problem.

[0003] After the drones have completed their missions at different locations, they need to return to the designated charging facilities, which not only increases the cost of charging management, but also limits the scope of application of drones. As an important part of smart cities, smart integrated poles have multiple functional modules and data sharing capabilities. Setting up drone charging modules in smart integrated poles can facilitate the centralized management of drone charging devices, and there is no need to disperse charging equipment, thus reducing the management and maintenance costs of drone charging.

[0004] The drone charging device can be combined with the intelligent management system of the smart integrated pole to achieve real-time monitoring of the charging process and ensure charging safety. However, the smart integrated pole is set in the external environment. As a key component of drone charging, if the charging device is directly set on the smart integrated pole, it will not only be affected by complex natural factors, but also be accidentally damaged; the safety and stability of the drone's temporary stop charging cannot be guaranteed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0054] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0055] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.

[0056] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0057] With the rapid development of drone technology, the application scenarios of drones are becoming increasingly diverse, and higher requirements are being placed on the endurance of drones. Traditional drone charging methods often rely on fixed charging stations or manual operations, which not only have low charging efficiency, but also have difficulty adapting to the flexible and changeable operation requirements of drones.

[0058] In order to realize fast charging and convenient docking of drones, the present invention proposes a method and device for temporary parking charging of drones applied to an AI smart integrated pole, which combines two charging methods, capacitive coupling charging and electromagnetic induction charging, and can realize efficient, safe and convenient charging of drones on the AI ​​smart integrated pole.

[0059] like Figure 1 A method for charging an unmanned aircraft temporarily stopping on an AI smart integrated pole is shown, comprising the following steps:

[0060] A communication connection is established in advance between the power transmitting module 3 and the power receiving module 4 on the charging platform 1 and the charging bracket 2 to prepare for charging; the UAV approaches the charging platform 1 along the control path and lands on the protective cabin 12 cover 121 of the AI ​​smart integrated pole through the charging bracket 2; the protective cabin 12 moves downward under the action of gravity of the UAV and the charging bracket 2, and provides a downward driving force to the cover 121; the cover 121 moves downward and drives the power transmitting module 3 to move upward through the first transmission assembly 5, and at the same time drives the hatch 144 of the protective cabin 12 to open through the second transmission assembly 6; during the downward movement of the cover 121, the positioning assembly 7 is driven by the motor 71 on the charging platform 1 to adjust the position of the charging bracket 2, so that the power transmitting module 3 and the power receiving module 4 are accurately aligned.

[0061] In order to realize the efficiency and convenience of temporary parking and charging of the drone, during the implementation process, the communication connection between the drone and the smart pole is established in advance, and the drone is guided to land on the charging platform 1 on the smart pole. The gravity of the drone and the charging bracket 2 on the charging platform 1 triggers the hatch 144 of the protective cabin 12 to open, and the power transmitting module 3 in the protective cabin 12 rises out of the hatch 144, so that the power receiving module 4 on the charging bracket 2 is docked with the power transmitting module 3. At the same time, the positioning component 7 set on the charging platform 1 is used to adjust the landing position of the charging bracket 2 during the docking process to ensure the accurate docking of the power receiving module 4 and the power transmitting module 3

[0062] Furthermore, when the power transmitting module 3 and the power receiving module 4 are aligned, the transmitting end plate 31 of the power transmitting module 3 cooperates with the receiving end plate 41 of the power receiving module 4 to form a coupling capacitor, and a first charging circuit is formed through capacitive coupling; the electromagnetic transmitting coil 32 of the power transmitting module 3 cooperates with the electromagnetic induction coil 42 of the power receiving module 4 to form a second charging circuit through electromagnetic induction; wherein, the power transmitting module 3 is connected to an AC power supply.

[0063] In the UAV temporary parking charging method, the key execution steps of establishing communication, adjusting landing, lowering the cover 121, opening the hatch 144, moving the power transmission module 3 upward, and starting charging are closely linked, forming a complete and efficient automated charging process. The charging process does not require human intervention, and can also monitor and control the charging process in real time through the monitoring background, reducing the charging management cost while ensuring the safety of the charging process.

[0064] The drone's temporary parking and charging methods are integrated into the AI ​​smart integrated pole. Through intelligent management and automated control, the drone's precise docking and safe charging are achieved, greatly improving the application scenarios of the drone. During the operation of the drone, there is no need to return to a fixed charging station, but it can be charged at any place equipped with an AI smart integrated pole, enhancing the drone's operational flexibility and endurance.

[0065] like Figures 2 to 10 As shown in the figure, the present invention further discloses a UAV temporary parking charging device applied to an AI smart integrated pole, which adopts the above-mentioned UAV temporary parking charging method. Specifically, the UAV temporary parking charging device includes a charging platform 1 and a charging bracket 2. The charging platform 1 is arranged on the integrated pole, and the charging bracket 2 is arranged at the bottom of the UAV. The charging platform 1 and the charging bracket 2 are respectively provided with a power transmitting module 3 and a power receiving module 4; by integrating the power transmitting module 3 and the power receiving module 4 on the charging platform 1 and the charging bracket 2, respectively, the temporary parking charging function of the UAV is realized.

[0066] like Figure 2As shown, the charging platform 1 includes a support column 11 and a protective cabin 12 arranged thereon, the power transmission module 3 is arranged in the protective cabin 12, and a cabin door 144 is arranged on the top of the protective cabin 12 corresponding to the power transmission module 3. The protective cabin 12 is arranged on the top of the support column 11 and can move in the vertical direction.

[0067] The present invention will constitute two major components of the unmanned aircraft temporary parking charging device, namely, the power transmission module 3 and the power receiving module 4 are respectively arranged on the top of the integrated pole and the bottom of the unmanned aircraft; the modular design of the charging platform 1 and the charging bracket 2 makes the entire charging device easy to install, maintain and upgrade. The device can be applied to unmanned aircraft of different models and sizes. It only needs to adjust the charging bracket 2 to adapt to different models of unmanned aircraft, load the unmanned aircraft charging device on the charging bracket 2 and connect it with the battery pack 44. During the operation, the unmanned aircraft only needs to land on the top of the integrated pole equipped with the charging platform 1 to charge, which greatly improves the flexibility and convenience of charging.

[0068] Furthermore, a communication connection is established between the power transmitting module 3 and the power receiving module 4. The power transmitting module 3 includes a control circuit, a transmitting end plate 31 and an electromagnetic transmitting coil 32, and the power receiving module 4 includes a battery pack 44, a receiving end plate 41 and an electromagnetic induction coil 42; the control circuit is connected to an AC power supply, the transmitting end plate 31 and the electromagnetic transmitting coil 32 are both connected to the control circuit, and the receiving end plate 41 and the electromagnetic induction coil 42 are respectively connected to the battery pack 44 through a rectifying and voltage stabilizing circuit 43.

[0069] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the transmitting end plate 31 includes a first transmitting end plate 311 and a second transmitting end plate 312, and the receiving end plate 41 includes a first receiving end plate 411 and a second receiving end plate 412 respectively arranged corresponding to the first transmitting end plate 311 and the second transmitting end plate 312; the electromagnetic transmitting coil 32 includes a first coil 321 and a second coil 322 arranged coaxially, and the second coil 322 is located at the outer circle of the first coil 321. When the AC power supply is turned on, the currents in the first coil 321 and the second coil 322 flow in opposite directions, and the electrical properties of the first transmitting end plate 311 and the second transmitting end plate 312 are opposite when the AC power supply is turned on.

[0070] Among them, the axes of the first coil 321 and the second coil 322 are arranged vertically, the first pole plate 311 of the transmitting end is arranged at the top of the first coil 321, and the second pole plate 312 of the transmitting end is annular and arranged at the top of the second coil 322; the diameter size of the electromagnetic induction coil 42 is set between the diameter size of the first coil 321 and the diameter size of the second coil 322, and the first pole plate 411 of the receiving end and the second pole plate 412 of the receiving end are respectively arranged on the inner and outer sides of the electromagnetic induction coil 42.

[0071] The first pole plate 311 at the transmitting end is arranged at the top of the first coil 321, and the second pole plate 312 at the transmitting end is in a ring structure and is arranged at the top of the second coil 322, which not only ensures the effective implementation of capacitive coupling charging, but also increases the contact area between the pole plates through the ring structure, thereby improving the charging efficiency. The diameter size of the electromagnetic induction coil 42 is controlled between the first coil 321 and the second coil 322. By further optimizing the energy transmission path of the first coil 321 and the second coil 322 during the electromagnetic induction charging process, the magnetic fields generated by the two coils are integrated with each other instead of canceling each other out, thereby improving the charging speed.

[0072] In the specific implementation process, see Fig.10 As shown, when the transmitting end plate 31 and the receiving end plate 41 are precisely connected, the transmitting end first plate 311 and the transmitting end second plate 312 respectively form two coupling capacitors with the receiving end first plate 411 and the receiving end second plate 412 to ensure efficient and stable capacitive coupling charging.

[0073] Furthermore, the electromagnetic induction coil 42 is located between the coaxially arranged first coil 321 and the second coil 322. At any time, the current flows in the first coil 321 and the second coil 322 in opposite directions, so that the magnetic fields generated by the first coil 321 and the second coil 322 are in opposite directions. After connecting to the AC power supply, the magnetic fields generated by the ends of the first coil 321 and the second coil 322 on the same side attract each other, so that the magnetic fields generated by the two coils intersect and integrate, and the integrated comprehensive magnetic field acts on the electromagnetic induction coil 42 to produce an induced current. This method enhances the electromagnetic induction effect and improves the efficiency and speed of electromagnetic induction charging.

[0074] In this embodiment, if Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the protection cabin 12 includes a cover shell 121 and a fixed seat 13 and a lifting seat 14 arranged therein, and a support foot 22 is arranged on the charging bracket 2 corresponding to the edge of the cover shell 121. The cover shell 121 is a cylindrical structure and is slidably connected to the support column 11. The power transmission module 3 is arranged on the fixed seat 13 through the lifting seat 14; the safety and stability of the power transmission module 3 are ensured by the protection cabin 12.

[0075] A first transmission assembly 5 and a second transmission assembly 6 are provided on the fixed seat 13. The cover 121 drives the lifting seat 14 to move in the vertical direction through the first transmission assembly 5. The cover 121 also drives the hatch 144 to open or close through the second transmission assembly 6. By providing the first transmission assembly 5 and the second transmission assembly 6 on the fixed seat 13, the vertical movement of the cover 121 is converted into driving power for the hatch 144 and the lifting seat 14, which facilitates the precise docking of the power transmitting module 3 with the power receiving module 4 on the charging bracket 2, thereby improving the safety and stability of the power transmitting module 3 integrated on the smart pole.

[0076] A first ring seat 141 and a second ring seat 142 for mounting a first coil 321 and a second coil 322 respectively are arranged on the bottom plate 143 of the lifting seat 14, a third ring seat 21 for mounting an induction coil is arranged on the charging bracket 2, a first transmitting end electrode plate 311 and a second transmitting end electrode plate 312 are respectively located at the top of the first ring seat 141 and the second ring seat 142, and an insulating layer 313 is arranged on their upper surfaces.

[0077] The arrangement of the first ring seat 141 and the second ring seat 142 enables the electromagnetic transmitting coil 32 to be stably mounted on the lifting seat 14, and the layout of the coil is optimized through the structure of the ring seat, thereby improving the efficiency of electromagnetic induction charging. Similarly, a third ring seat 21 for mounting the electromagnetic induction coil 42 is arranged on the charging bracket 2, and the third ring seat 21 forms a corresponding electromagnetic induction charging structure with the first ring seat 141 and the second ring seat 142.

[0078] An insulating layer 313 is provided on the upper surface of the first transmitting end plate 311 and the second transmitting end plate 312, which effectively isolates the direct contact between the transmitting end plate 31 and the receiving end plate 41, reduces the risk of short circuit and electric shock, and improves the safety of the charging process. At the same time, the spacing between the two butted plates is precisely controlled to optimize the effect of capacitive coupling, thereby improving the charging efficiency. The presence of the insulating layer 313 allows the spacing between the plates to be maintained within a safe and efficient range.

[0079] In this embodiment, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of first transmission components 5 are evenly distributed around the lifting seat 14, and the first transmission component 5 includes a first slide 51 and a crank arm 52 rotatably connected thereto, the first slide 51 is slidably connected to the fixed seat 13, and both ends of the crank arm 52 are rotatably connected to the cover shell 121 and the lifting seat 14 respectively.

[0080] Among them, the curved arm 52 includes a first connecting rod 521 and a second connecting rod 522 fixedly connected at one end, the second connecting rod 522 includes a fixed portion 522a and a telescopic portion 522b, the connecting end of the first connecting rod 521 and the fixed portion 522a is rotatably connected to the first sliding seat 51, the other end of the first connecting rod 521 is hinged to the inner wall of the cover shell 121, and the second connecting rod 522 is hinged to the lifting seat 14 through the telescopic portion 522b; a plurality of first sliding grooves 131 are arranged on the fixed seat 13 corresponding to the first transmission assembly 5, the first sliding grooves 131 are arranged radially along the cover shell 121, and the first sliding seat 51 is slidably connected to the first sliding grooves 131.

[0081] During the specific implementation process, the crank arm 52 rotates around the connection between the first connecting rod 521 and the second connecting rod 522. Since the angle between the first connecting rod 521 and the second connecting rod 522 is fixed, the two ends of the crank arm 52 move in opposite directions relative to the rotation axis. When the cover shell 121 moves downward due to external force and drives one end of the first connecting rod 521 to move downward, the end of the second connecting rod 522 connected to the lifting seat 14 moves upward and drives the lifting seat 14 to move upward at the same time.

[0082] The arrangement of the telescopic portion 522b on the second connecting rod 522 enables the first transmission assembly 5 to be adaptively adjusted during the driving lifting process, reducing the motion problems caused by manufacturing errors or installation errors. The multiple first transmission assemblies 5 evenly arranged around the lifting seat 14 can ensure the stability and uniformity of the lifting movement.

[0083] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 and Fig. 9 As shown, a circular opening 122 is provided at the top of the cover shell 121, and the hatch 144 includes a plurality of fan blades 144a arranged along the circumference of the circular opening 122, and the plurality of fan blades 144a are arranged to be a three-arc-edge fan-shaped structure divided by a plurality of arcs evenly distributed along the circumference of the circular plate; the second transmission assembly 6 includes a driving rod 61, a driving ring 62, a driven disk 63 and a transmission shaft 64, and both ends of the driving rod 61 are rotatably connected to the cover shell 121 and the driving ring 62 respectively through joint bearings 611, the driving ring 62 is coaxially arranged with the axis of the cover shell 121 and is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 13, and the driving ring 62 is driven to rotate by the driving rod 61 and further drives the driven disk 63 to rotate.

[0084] Among them, the opening and closing of the hatch 144 is achieved by driving the corresponding fan blades 144a to rotate through several transmission shafts 64. Each fan blade 144a is a three-arc-edge fan-shaped structure. When any fan blade 144a is driven to rotate, the fan blade 144a will drive the fan blades 144a on both sides to rotate through the arc edges on both sides, thereby facilitating the synchronous opening and closing of multiple fan blades 144a.

[0085] There are multiple drive rods 61 and drive disks evenly arranged on the outer circumference of the drive ring 62. The transmission shaft 64 rotates coaxially with the driven disk 63 and is fixedly connected to the rotation axis of the relatively arranged fan blade 144a; the transmission shaft 64 is connected to the block 631 on the driven disk 63 through the coaxially rotating limit gear 65, and the block 631 moves radially along the driven disk 63 and abuts against the limit gear 65 under the drive of the second spring piece 632. There are multiple blocks 631 around the limit gear 65.

[0086] Furthermore, the fixing seat 13 is also connected to the driving ring 62 via a plurality of first elastic sheets 621 . The first elastic sheets 621 can be bent along the rotation direction of the driving ring 62 . The two ends of the length of the driving rod 61 are respectively located in different diameter directions of the cover 121 .

[0087] During the specific implementation of the second transmission assembly 6, the cover 121 moves downward and drives one end of the driving rod 61 to move downward synchronously. The length of the driving rod 61 itself is fixed, but as the cover 121 moves, in order to keep the straight-line distance between the two ends of the driving rod 61 and the connection points between the cover 121 and the driving ring 62 constant, the connection point between the driving rod 61 and the driving ring 62 needs to be close to the diameter of the connection point between the driving rod 61 and the cover 121, so as to realize the rotation of the driving ring 62 by the driving rod 61, and then the rotation of the driven disk 63 by the driving ring 62.

[0088] The driven disk 63 drives the limit gear 65 to rotate through the block 631, and then drives the transmission shaft 64 to rotate to open or close the hatch 144. When the hatch 144 is opened or closed, if the cover shell 121 is still rising or falling, the block 631 on the driven disk 63 rotates with the driven disk 63, and disengages from the outer teeth of the limit gear 65 one by one, until the cover shell 121 is raised and lowered, and the driven disk 63 still locks the limit gear 65 through the block 631.

[0089] During the process of the driving rod 61 driving the driving ring 62 to rotate, the first spring piece 621 is bent as the driving ring 62 rotates. When the UAV is charged and flies away from the charging platform 1, the cover 121 loses the driving force to move downward, but the elastic force of the first spring piece 621 drives the driving ring 62 to reset and rotate, and synchronously drives the driven disk 63 to rotate, so that the cover 121 moves up and drives the cabin door 144 to close. The first spring piece 621 not only helps to reset the driving ring 62, but also ensures the stability of its rotation process.

[0090] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a positioning assembly 7 is provided on the fixed seat 13, including a motor 71, a third transmission assembly 73 and a positioning column 72. A plurality of positioning columns 72 are provided circumferentially of the cover shell 121. The motor 71 synchronously drives the plurality of positioning columns 72 to move radially along the cover shell 121 through the third transmission assembly 73.

[0091] During the process of positioning the charging bracket 2 by the positioning assembly 7, after the third ring seat 21 of the charging bracket 2 moves to between the first ring seat 141 and the second ring seat 142 of the lifting seat 14, the motor 71 drives multiple positioning columns 72 to synchronously move toward the inner wall of the third ring seat 21 and press tightly against it, and the positioning of the entire charging bracket 2 is achieved by correcting the deviation of the third ring seat 21.

[0092] Furthermore, a second sliding groove 132 and a through hole 143a are respectively provided on the fixed seat 13 and the bottom plate 143 corresponding to the positioning column 72, and a receiving groove 141a is opened on the side wall of the first ring seat 141 corresponding to the positioning column 72; the setting of the through hole 143a neither affects the up and down movement of the lifting seat 14 nor the radial movement of the positioning column 72; the setting of the receiving groove 141a makes it convenient for the positioning column 72 not to protrude from the outer ring surface of the first ring seat 141 before the positioning operation, thereby avoiding interference between the positioning column 72 and the third ring seat 21 during the descent of the charging bracket 2.

[0093] The third transmission assembly 73 includes a plurality of telescopic rods 731 arranged corresponding to the plurality of positioning posts 72, the plurality of telescopic rods 731 are arranged adjacent to each other in a ring shape, the two ends of the telescopic rods 731 are respectively connected to two adjacent positioning posts 72, the motor 71 is coaxially arranged with the axis of the housing 121, and is connected to the telescopic rods 731 through the transmission rod 732. When the motor 71 drives the transmission rod 732 to rotate, the length of the two telescopic rods 731 connected to the same positioning post 72 will be driven to change, thereby driving the positioning post 72 to move.
