Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone technology, specifically to a laser weeding drone equipped with a light-tracking photovoltaic charging system. Background Technology
[0002] In agricultural production and horticultural maintenance, weed and pest control has always been a crucial aspect. Traditional weeding and pest control methods heavily rely on chemical agents, such as herbicides and insecticides. While these chemicals can achieve significant results in the short term, long-term, large-scale use leads to a series of serious problems. On the one hand, chemical residues remain in soil, water sources, and crops, causing irreversible pollution to the ecological environment, disrupting soil microbial communities, and affecting soil fertility and ecological balance. On the other hand, pests and weeds may gradually develop resistance, leading to a continuous increase in pesticide use, further exacerbating environmental pollution and production costs. With the development of technology, laser weeding and pest control technology has emerged as a green, environmentally friendly, and efficient new solution, attracting widespread attention.
[0003] Traditional drones have limited battery life, requiring frequent battery replacements or recharging, which affects operational efficiency. Although solar photovoltaic power generation technology has been applied to the drone field, ordinary solar photovoltaic panels cannot automatically adjust according to the angle of sunlight, resulting in low photovoltaic power generation efficiency, which cannot meet the needs of drones for long-term operation. During flight, the drone's body shaking and reciprocating turns will affect the sunlight received by the solar panels, further reducing power generation efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a laser weeding drone with a solar-powered photovoltaic charging system. This system solves the problems of limited battery life, the need for frequent battery replacements or charging, which affects operational efficiency; the inability of ordinary solar photovoltaic panels to automatically adjust according to the angle of sunlight, resulting in low photovoltaic power generation efficiency and failing to meet the needs of drones for long-term operation; and the impact of drone flight, such as turbulence and reciprocating turns, on the solar panels' ability to receive sunlight, further reducing power generation efficiency.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a laser weeding drone with a light-tracking photovoltaic charging system, including a drone body, a mounting platform at the upper end of the drone body, a mounting base fixedly mounted on the upper end of the mounting platform, a gimbal stabilizer mounted on the mounting base, a flexible solar photovoltaic panel snapped onto the gimbal stabilizer, a light-tracking sensor mounted on the flexible solar photovoltaic panel, a rotating rod fixedly connected to the lower end of the gimbal stabilizer, the rotating rod passing through the mounting base and extending into the mounting base, and rotatably connected to the bottom end of the mounting base, a first gear fixedly sleeved on the inner surface of the rotating rod located in the mounting base, a micro motor at the upper end of the mounting base, a second gear connected to the output end of the micro motor, the second gear located in the inner cavity of the mounting base, the first gear and the second gear meshing with each other, and a laser weeding device at the lower end of the drone body.
[0006] As an improvement, the lower end of the drone body is provided with a support leg, and a lithium battery is installed inside the drone body. The support leg supports the drone body, and the lithium battery powers the device.
[0007] As an improvement, the gimbal stabilizer includes a gyroscope and an accelerometer, which adjust the solar panel attitude to maintain a constant light-collecting angle by sensing the drone's attitude changes in real time.
[0008] As an improvement, the mounting platform is equipped with an integrated voltage regulator, which can stabilize the electrical energy generated by the flexible solar photovoltaic panel and provide a stable charging voltage and current for the lithium battery.
[0009] As an improvement, the light-tracking sensor monitors the position of the sun or a laser of a specific wavelength in real time and transmits the signal to the micro motor. The micro motor then adjusts the angle of the flexible solar photovoltaic panel according to the signal so that it is always aligned with the light source.
[0010] The advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies are as follows: by setting up a light-tracking sensor to track the light source in real time, the light-gathering efficiency of the solar photovoltaic power generation panel is significantly improved, thereby effectively extending the flight range and reducing operating costs. The use of flexible solar photovoltaic power generation panels increases the light-gathering area and reduces the weight of the fuselage, improving flight performance. The gimbal stabilizer eliminates the adverse effects on the light-gathering of the solar panel during flight, ensuring the stability of photovoltaic power generation. The integrated voltage regulator protects the onboard battery and extends its service life, comprehensively improving the reliability of the entire UAV system. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0016] This utility model combines weeding with... Figures 1 to 3 A laser weeding drone with a solar-powered photovoltaic charging system includes a drone body 1, a mounting platform 2 at the top of the drone body 1, a mounting base 4 fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting platform 2, a gimbal stabilizer 5 mounted on the mounting base 4, a flexible solar photovoltaic panel 6 snapped onto the gimbal stabilizer 5, a solar-powered sensor 7 mounted on the flexible solar photovoltaic panel 6, and a rotating rod 13 fixedly connected to the lower end of the gimbal stabilizer 5. The rotating rod 13 passes through the mounting base 4 and extends into the mounting base 4, and is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the mounting base 4. A first tooth is fixedly fitted on the inner surface of the rotating rod 13 within the mounting base 4. The first gear 11 and the mounting base 4 are equipped with a micro motor 10. The output end of the micro motor 10 is connected to a second gear 12, which is located in the inner cavity of the mounting base 4. The first gear 11 and the second gear 12 mesh with each other. The lower end of the drone body 1 is equipped with a laser weed remover 9. The gimbal stabilizer 5 includes a gyroscope and an accelerometer. By sensing the attitude of the drone in real time, it adjusts the attitude of the solar panel to keep the light-collecting angle unchanged. The mounting platform 2 is equipped with an integrated voltage regulator 14, which can stabilize the power generated by the flexible solar photovoltaic panel 6 and provide a stable charging voltage and current for the lithium battery 8.
[0017] The drone body 1 has a support leg 3 at the lower end and a lithium battery 8 inside. The support leg 3 supports the drone body 1 and the lithium battery 8 supplies power to the device.
[0018] The light-tracking sensor 7 monitors the position of the sun or a laser of a special wavelength in real time and transmits the signal to the micro motor 10. The micro motor 10 adjusts the angle of the flexible solar photovoltaic panel 6 according to the signal so that it is always aligned with the light source.
[0019] In actual use, when the drone takes off, the gimbal stabilizer 5 automatically activates, using gyroscopes and accelerometers to sense changes in the drone's attitude in real time, ensuring the flexible solar photovoltaic panel 6 remains stable. Simultaneously, the light-tracking sensor 7 begins working, monitoring the position of the sun or a special wavelength laser in real time. Once a light source is detected, it immediately transmits a signal to the micro-motor 10. The micro-motor 10 adjusts the angle of the flexible solar photovoltaic panel 6 according to the signal, ensuring it is always aligned with the light source. The drone flies along a preset flight path, and upon reaching the weeding area, the laser weeder 9 automatically activates, clearing weeds along the way according to the set emission power and frequency.
