Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to a charging manager for unmanned aerial vehicles. Background Art

[0002] A drone is an unmanned aircraft that is controlled by a radio remote control device and a self-contained program control device. Compared with manned aircraft, drones are often more suitable for tasks that are too "dull, dirty or dangerous." Drones were originally created to provide assistance for military reconnaissance. With the development and progress of science and technology, drones are increasingly moving towards civilian use and miniaturization. Drones + industry applications are the real rigid demand for drones, which have profoundly changed people's daily lives. Their applications in aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, micro selfies, express delivery, disaster relief, wildlife observation, infectious disease monitoring, surveying and mapping, news reporting, power inspections, disaster relief, film and television shooting, creating romance, etc. have greatly expanded the use of drones themselves. Developed countries are also actively expanding industry applications and developing drone technology.

[0003] The continuous expansion of drone applications has led to people coming into contact with and using drones in their daily lives and learning processes. However, at the same time, the increasing popularity of drones has also brought additional dangers to people during daily charging. Just like the dangers that may be caused when charging electric vehicle batteries, drones may also cause battery overheating and explosion due to overcharging during charging, ultimately leading to a fire. Currently, electric vehicle batteries are no longer allowed to be charged at home, while drones that people use daily are usually charged at home. When people charge drones at home, they often forget to unplug the plug when the battery is fully charged. Long-term charging can easily cause drone batteries to overheat, which is very dangerous. Moreover, when charging, drones are generally placed directly on the ground, which not only takes up a large amount of ground space, but also makes it easy for people to bump into the drone when walking, damaging its delicate fan blades and other components, causing damage to the drone. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a charging manager for a drone, so as to solve the problems that the existing drone charging devices proposed in the above-mentioned background technology are high in danger, occupy a large ground space, and people are prone to bump into the drone when walking, damaging its delicate fan blades and other components, resulting in damage to the drone.

[0020] Specifically, two rows of six ceiling suction cups 13 are arranged on the top of the charging box 1. The charging box 1 is fixedly bonded to the ceiling suction cups 13. This arrangement makes it easy to use the ceiling suction cups 13 to fix the charging box 1 on the indoor roof, which can not only ensure stability but also facilitate the change of the adsorption position at any time, thereby improving the flexibility of the device.

[0021] Specifically, two adsorption indicator patches 14 are fixedly provided on the top of the charging box 1. The two adsorption indicator patches 14 are symmetrically arranged around the center of the top of the charging box 1. This arrangement is convenient for the user to adsorb the charging box 1 on the roof through the ceiling suction cup 13. When the ceiling suction cup 13 is pressed to a certain position toward the roof, the roof touches the adsorption indicator patch 14. At this time, the exhaust of the ceiling suction cup 13 meets the qualified standard, thereby ensuring the adsorption strength of the ceiling suction cup 13.

[0022] Specifically, each sliding rheostat 16 is electrically connected to a sliding switch 4, and the sliding switch 4 is fixed on the shell of the charging box 1. This arrangement is convenient for adjusting the current through the tethering cable 6 through the sliding switch 4 according to the weight and size of the drone, thereby adjusting the magnetic field strength of the electromagnet 7 to ensure the reliability of the drone adsorption.

[0023] Specifically, an indicator mark 5 is disposed on both sides of each slide switch 4 , so that the user can easily slide the slide switch 4 to adjust the magnetic field strength of the electromagnet 7 .

[0024] Specifically, a voice alarm indicator 11 is provided on the housing of the wireless WiFi module 10, and the voice alarm indicator 11 is electrically connected to the wireless WiFi module 10. This arrangement is convenient for the voice alarm indicator 11 to issue a voice warning after the battery is fully charged in the store, prompting people nearby to unplug the drone charging plug 9 to avoid the danger caused by long-term overload charging of the drone battery.

[0025] Working principle: When using this device, first fix the charging box 1 on the indoor roof, and insert the indoor power grid into the external power interface 2. The power input from the external power interface 2 is controlled by the charging control module 15 to power the device. Under the adjustment of the sliding rheostat 16, the charging control module 15 controls the power to be input into the electromagnet 7 via the tethered cable 6, and the electric energy is converted into a magnetic field by the electromagnet 7, so that the electromagnet 7 is firmly adsorbed on the drone. The drone during charging is lifted by two electromagnets 7, which reduces the floor area occupied in the room. After that, the drone charging plug 9 can be docked with the drone battery charging port to charge the drone. The working indicator light 3 can display the charging status of the drone battery in real time. After being fully charged, the working indicator light 3 turns red, and the information that the power is fully charged is processed by the wireless WiFi module 10 and sent to the remote control end of the user through the telescopic antenna 12, prompting the user to unplug the drone charging plug 9 in time. At the same time, the voice alarm indicator 11 can issue a voice warning to prompt people nearby to unplug the drone charging plug 9 to avoid the danger caused by long-term overload charging of the drone battery.
