TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of unmanned aerial vehicle technology, its application field has gradually expanded from early military reconnaissance to agriculture, logistics, security, surveying and mapping and other industries. This technology expansion benefits from the breakthrough of light composite materials, satellite navigation system, artificial intelligence and flight control technology, especially the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle because of its vertical take-off and landing ability, strong maneuverability and convenient control characteristics, becomes the important branch of current unmanned aerial vehicle market. However, although the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle has made many progress in technology and market application, the performance limitation of its power system still restricts its function play. Although the traditional lithium battery power system has certain technical maturity, due to the physical limit of battery energy density, its endurance is difficult to further improve. At the same time, in order to increase the battery capacity needed to enhance power, often accompanied by greater weight, thus having negative impact on flight performance and energy efficiency ratio. This technical bottleneck directly limits the performance of rotor unmanned aerial vehicle in long time flight, long-range task and high load task.
[0003] In order to break through the limitation of traditional lithium battery technology, new energy power system becomes a research hotspot. Among them, hydrogen fuel power system is gradually introduced into the field of unmanned aerial vehicle because of its high energy density, environmental protection and high efficiency. However, there are still some key technical difficulties in the actual application of existing hydrogen power system. First of all, hydrogen fuel power system needs to carry larger hydrogen storage equipment, which leads to the increase of overall size of unmanned aerial vehicle and the increase of weight, which not only affects the flight efficiency, but also puts forward higher requirements for structural design. Secondly, due to the limited power output capacity of proton exchange membrane technology, the existing hydrogen power unmanned aerial vehicle performs poorly in meeting the demand of rapid response and high maneuverability. In addition, the heat dissipation and shock resistance design of hydrogen power system lacks systematic optimization in existing technology, which further limits its reliability and practicability. Therefore, how to realize the miniaturization and high efficiency of hydrogen power system through structural optimization and technology integration, and effectively improve the endurance time and task adaptability of rotor unmanned aerial vehicle, has become an important problem to be solved in the field of current unmanned aerial vehicle technology.
