[0002] Traditional wired charging methods still have drawbacks such as easy generation of sparks, leakage, easy wear, and possible heating of contacts. The carrier platform will face certain sea wave disturbances during charging, causing dynamic misalignment of the platform and having a certain impact on the safety of the charging system. Points that can be improved include increasing charging efficiency, improving platform stability, and thus reducing charging time.

[0003] In the actual use of the existing technology, when the device adjusts the drone, the coupling position cannot fix the drone. When the drone is wirelessly charged, it is usually supported by the landing gear, and the function of the frame itself is to support and cannot fix and adjust the existing charging position of the drone, resulting in the drone being affected by external collisions or external forces during charging, causing the charging position to be misaligned with the charging module, resulting in poor coupling effect between the drone and the charging module and reduced charging efficiency.

[0004] When charging through cables or lithium batteries, safety issues need to be considered, and the charger requires safety measures such as overheat protection and short - circuit protection, and also requires compliance with corresponding output current and voltage. Solar panels need to pay attention to issues such as the installation position and area of the panels.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Apparently, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , a wireless charging system for an unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising:

[0029] a DC power supply, an inverter circuit, a coupling mechanism, a rectifier circuit and a battery part. The DC power supply provides DC current for the system, and the magnetic coupling mechanism can realize power transmission only through a high-frequency exciting current;

[0030] The coupling mechanism adopts an electromagnetic coupling resonance technology method and a wireless power transmission system based on an LCC-S compensation topology. The left structure of the wireless power transmission system is a full-bridge inverter circuit, the middle structure is an LCC-S coupling structure, and the right structure is a full-bridge uncontrolled rectifier circuit.

[0031] The full-bridge inverter circuit includes a DC power supply DC, a capacitor , a P-MOS field effect transistor , , , 。

[0032] The coupling structure of the LCC-S includes a transmitting end and a receiving end;

[0033] The transmitting end includes a coil inductor , a compensating inductor , a resistor , a compensating capacitor , and a resonant capacitor ;

[0034] The receiving end includes a coil self-inductance , a resistor , a compensating capacitor 。

[0035] The full-bridge uncontrolled rectifier circuit includes bridge rectifier diodes , , , , a capacitor , and a resistor 。

[0036] Assume the angular frequency of the inverter operation is ω, and the equivalent impedance of the secondary side can be expressed as:

[0037]

[0038] The secondary side needs to satisfy the resonance condition, and we can get:

[0039]

[0040] The reflected impedance obtained by transforming the impedance of the secondary side to the primary side , when it satisfies the resonance condition formula (3.3), its value can be expressed as:

[0041]

[0042] And the equivalent input impedance of the primary side is expressed as:

[0043]

[0044] According to circuit theory, it is necessary to make the imaginary part of the input impedance equal to zero, that is, to satisfy pure resistance. At this time, the reactive power generated by the system is zero, and the system has the best efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to satisfy:

[0045]

[0046] Therefore, the resonance conditions of this system can be known.

[0047] Write the KCL equation for the primary circuit, we have:

[0048]

[0049] Based on the resonance conditions of the system, for Figure 1 the loop of, write the KVL equation as:

[0050]

[0051] Combining the above equations to obtain the output current of the system is:

[0052]

[0053] Furthermore, the output voltage of the system is obtained as:

[0054]

[0055] Since the internal resistance of the coil is small, its resistance R L ≪R2, so the above equation can be further simplified as:

[0056]

[0057] In this formula, the expression of the output voltage has nothing to do with the load . When the input voltage is determined, the output voltage can be approximated as a constant value.

[0058] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
