Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dynamic charging equipment for power batteries, and in particular to a dynamic online charging module. Background Art

[0002] As the negative impact of fossil energy on the environment becomes increasingly serious, people have begun to work hard to find cleaner new energy sources that can replace traditional fossil energy. These new energy sources do not produce large amounts of carbon emissions and harmful gases during their functioning, and can significantly reduce pollution to the atmospheric environment.

[0003] Electric new energy is a new energy application method. It uses electricity as energy to drive cars or other mobile vehicles. It does not produce any harmful gases and carbon emissions during driving. It can effectively reduce carbon emissions and air pollution, and therefore has been vigorously developed and promoted.

[0004] However, existing electric new energy vehicles are limited by the performance of battery materials, and the energy density of the battery has not been able to reach a high level. As a result, the battery has limited range after being fully charged and the charging time is long. As a result, users of electric new energy vehicles generally have range anxiety, which seriously limits the promotion and popularization of new electric energy vehicles. Summary of the Invention

The advantage of this setting is that it can ensure that the pantograph is always in effective contact with the power grid near the driving trajectory of the mobile vehicle, so that the mobile charging of the power battery can be carried out stably and reliably.

[0010] Preferably, the drone is equipped with a navigation system, a communication module, a high-definition camera and a laser radar.
