[0026] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, a light-emitting identification device for a charging and swapping infrastructure that is convenient for aerial identification includes a mounting base 1. A light-emitting member 2 is provided on the mounting base 1. The irradiation direction of the light-emitting member 2 is upward, and the light emitted by the light-emitting member 2 presents a light-emitting logo for low-altitude aircraft identification.

[0027] According to actual requirements such as charging brands and service institution logos, the internal light arrangement and color settings of the light-emitting member 2 are adjusted to form a specific identification pattern, and then the light-emitting identification device is fixed at the charging and swapping infrastructure through the mounting base 1. When the charging and swapping station starts operating or needs to be identified, the light-emitting identification device is automatically or manually activated. The light-emitting member 2 starts to work, emitting bright light upward to form a clear identification pattern. At the same time, the light is mainly projected upward, reducing lateral scattering, thereby reducing light pollution. The aircraft flying in the air identifies the light-emitting identification device through the onboard visual recognition system. The specific pattern on the identification device provides clear navigation information for the aircraft, helping it quickly locate the position of the charging and swapping station and complete the charging or swapping operation safely and accurately. During use, according to actual requirements and environmental changes (such as weather conditions, light intensity, etc.), the light-emitting identification device is dynamically adjusted. For example, the light-emitting intensity is adjusted to cope with the light changes at different time periods, which is achieved through remote control or on-site operation to ensure that the light-emitting identification device always maintains a good working state.

[0028] In this embodiment, through the bright light and clear identification pattern irradiated upward by the light-emitting member 2, an aircraft flying in the air can quickly and accurately identify the location of the charging and swapping station, thereby improving the identification efficiency and reducing the search time. At the same time, the light-emitting member 2 irradiates upward, controls the light-emitting angle, reduces the lateral light scattering, and reduces the impact on the surrounding environment and residents' lives, which is green and environmentally friendly. In addition, when navigation signals such as GPS are unstable, the light-emitting identification device provides obvious visual guidance for the aircraft flying in the air, helps to avoid misjudgment and collision risks, and improves the safety of the charging and swapping operation.

[0029] As Figure 2 shown, in a preferred example, the light-emitting member 2 includes a plurality of light-emitting units 201. The plurality of light-emitting units 201 are distributed in an array, and the plurality of light-emitting units 201 form a fixed identification pattern, and the light-emitting units 201 of the fixed identification pattern are turned on and off synchronously.

[0030] In this embodiment, through the array distribution of the plurality of light-emitting units 201, the light-emitting identification device can provide a larger range and more uniform light coverage, so that an aircraft in the air can clearly see the light-emitting pattern even at a relatively long distance, which helps the aircraft to perform precise positioning and navigation, especially in a complex low-altitude environment. Due to the modular design of the light-emitting unit 201, the failure of a single light-emitting unit 201 will not affect the display of the entire pattern, which is convenient for replacing the faulty unit, thereby reducing the maintenance cost. The array distribution and synchronous control of the light-emitting units 201 can adjust the light intensity and mode according to actual needs, optimize the energy consumption, and achieve energy conservation and environmental protection. The fixed identification pattern can be customized according to different application scenarios and requirements, such as the LOGO of different charging brands or service institutions, which increases the adaptability and versatility of the light-emitting identification device.

[0031] In a preferred example, the plurality of light-emitting units 201 form a movable identification pattern, and the light-emitting units 201 of the movable identification pattern are independently turned on and off or synchronously turned on and off in groups.

[0032] In this embodiment, the movable identification graphic can display dynamic pattern information through the independent or grouped control of the light-emitting unit 201, enabling the light-emitting identification device to transmit more complex information, such as indicating directions, states, or specific operation instructions, improving the efficiency and accuracy of information transmission, and providing richer and more intuitive navigation and identification signals for the aircraft. The independent control of the light-emitting unit 201 provides a high degree of flexibility, allowing the light-emitting mode to be adjusted according to different aircraft types, flight missions, or environmental conditions to meet specific navigation and identification requirements. By precisely controlling the on-off state of each light-emitting unit 201, energy consumption can be more effectively managed, the service life of the device can be extended, and unnecessary energy waste can be reduced. The movable identification graphic can automatically adjust its brightness or mode according to changes in ambient light to ensure good visibility under various lighting conditions.

[0033] In a preferred example, the light-emitting unit 201 is an LED.

[0034] The high light efficiency and low energy consumption of the LED enable the light-emitting identification device to reduce energy consumption and achieve energy conservation and emission reduction. The fast response of the LED allows the light-emitting unit 201 to turn on and off instantaneously, which is crucial for displaying dynamic or rapidly changing movable identification graphics, ensuring the smoothness and clarity of the patterns. The LED can emit light of multiple colors, providing a rich color selection and making the light-emitting component 2 more colorful and distinguishable. The miniaturization feature of the LED allows the light-emitting unit 201 to be arranged compactly to form a high-density light-emitting array, making it possible to display complex movable identification graphics. The brightness and color of the LED can be precisely adjusted through electronic control, enabling the light-emitting unit 201 to flexibly adjust its light-emitting state according to actual needs and environmental changes. The long lifespan of the LED reduces the replacement frequency and maintenance cost, improving the reliability and economy of the light-emitting identification device.

[0035] As Figure 2 shown, in a preferred example, the mounting base 1 is provided with a mounting groove 102, and the light-emitting component 2 is disposed in the mounting groove 102, and the depth of the mounting groove 102 is greater than the height of the light-emitting component 2.

[0036] In this embodiment, the depth of the mounting groove 102 being greater than the height of the light-emitting component 2 further reduces lateral light pollution, reduces light interference with the surrounding environment and residents, improves the environmental adaptability and aesthetics of the device, makes the light concentrate upward, and enhances the identification efficiency of the aircraft in the air. In addition, the mounting groove 102 simplifies the installation and maintenance process of the light-emitting component 2, provides additional physical protection, and increases the durability of the device.

[0037] As Figure 1 shown, in a preferred example, a protective component 3 is provided on the light-emitting component 2, and the protective component 3 is made of a transparent material.

[0038] The protective component 3 is made of tempered glass or acrylic.

[0039] In this embodiment, the transparent protective component 3 provides physical protection for the light-emitting component 2, effectively resisting damage that may be caused by external environmental factors such as flying stones, strong winds, ultraviolet rays, etc., and extending the service life of the light-emitting component 2. Secondly, the transparent property of the protective component 3 ensures the light transmittance, reduces light loss, and maintains the brightness and clarity of the light-emitting identification device. In addition, the protective component 3 made of tempered glass or acrylic also has good weather resistance and anti-aging performance, ensuring the stability of the device during long-term outdoor use. At the same time, the transparent protective component 3 is also easy to clean and maintain, which helps to maintain the visibility and recognizability of the light-emitting pattern, further improving the practicality and aesthetics of the entire light-emitting identification device.

[0040] As Figure 1 shown, in a preferred example, the top of the protective component 3 is an arc surface.

[0041] The protective component 3 is hermetically connected to the mounting base 1.

[0042] In this embodiment, rainwater and dust are not likely to stay on the arc-surface protective component 3, which can reduce rain erosion and help maintain the cleanliness and performance of the protective component 3 and the light-emitting component 2. At the same time, the hermetic connection ensures the dustproof and waterproof performance of the entire light-emitting identification device, enabling it to operate stably under harsh weather conditions such as strong winds and heavy rains, improving the reliability and durability of the device, and ensuring that the light-emitting component 2 can provide a clear and bright light-emitting effect under various environmental conditions, meeting the identification and navigation needs of low-altitude aircraft. In addition, the good sealing performance also avoids the invasion of dust and moisture to the light-emitting component 2, reduces the maintenance cost, and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0043] In a preferred example, a controller is provided inside the mounting base 1, and the controller is used to control the lighting and extinguishing of the light-emitting component 2.

[0044] In this embodiment, the lighting and extinguishing of the light-emitting component 2 are controlled by the controller, and together with the auxiliary lights with color or strobe changes, functions such as azimuth indication and status indication are realized. The intelligent lighting control system can provide real-time information on the power status, battery charging situation, and working status of the current charging and swapping facility to low-altitude aircraft, avoiding charging / swapping failures caused by insufficient power or an uncharged battery, and ensuring that the aircraft can immediately perform normal charging / swapping operations after landing. In addition, the controller can also send a reservation signal according to the system instruction to guide the aircraft to charge and swap in an orderly manner, thereby reducing the risk of in-air detention and improving the safety and efficiency of the aircraft charging and swapping process.

[0045] Embodiment 2

[0046] As Figure 3As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that a light-shielding member 101 is provided on the mounting base 1. The light-shielding member 101 is arranged at the edge of the light-emitting member 2, and the height of the light-shielding member 101 is higher than that of the light-emitting member 2.

[0047] In this embodiment, by providing the light-shielding member 101 on the mounting base 1 and making the height of the light-shielding member 101 higher than that of the light-emitting member 2, the light emitted by the light-emitting member 2 is made more concentrated upward, reducing the light leakage to the side and the surrounding environment. This enhances the recognition accuracy of the light-emitting identification pattern by the aerial vehicle, reduces the light interference to production activities and the surrounding residents, and ensures the comfort of the environment. At the same time, the light-shielding member 101 provides protection for the light-emitting member 2, reducing the damage caused by external factors such as weather changes or physical impacts, and extending the service life of the light-emitting member 2. In addition, the design of the light-shielding member 101 also takes into account the aesthetics, making the appearance of the entire light-emitting identification device more neat and coordinated, and enhancing the overall visual experience.

[0048] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
