Abstract

This invention belongs to the technical field of propeller repair, proposing a method and system for self-repairing UAV propellers. The method includes: real-time monitoring of the propeller structure; when the detected local strain of the propeller exceeds a dynamic threshold, determining the location of the damage using a time-difference positioning method based on multiple detection locations within the propeller; determining the repair agent closest to the damage location; and achieving self-repair of the propeller using piezoelectric ceramic technology based on the repair agent. This invention, by real-time monitoring of the propeller state combined with microencapsulated repair agents and piezoelectric actuation technology, enables damage identification and rapid repair during flight, significantly improving the maintenance efficiency, flight safety, and economy of UAVs.
