Intermittent Flight Drone System

Abstract

To provide a drone system that extends flight distance by waiting for flight and charging using solar power generation when the charge level of a storage battery is insufficient. [Solution] A floating drone equipped with a solar panel and a storage battery can wait (drift) on the sea until the solar-powered storage battery is fully charged. Once the storage battery is fully charged, it flies at low altitude, and when the battery capacity decreases, it slowly lands on the water, stops the propeller, waits on the sea while charging, and repeats this flight, which takes time but makes the flight distance almost infinite.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to technology for a drone system that flies intermittently, mainly over the sea or on land along the coast of the sea, at an extremely low altitude to ensure safety in the event of a crash, and floats on water, flying only when the storage battery is sufficiently charged with solar power; when the charge capacity decreases, the drone stops flying, lands on the sea and waits or drifts, or flies and waits in an area on land where human safety is taken into consideration. [Background technology]

[0002] One of the challenges in drone technology is increasing the capacity of the battery to extend the flight distance. If the battery is lighter, the overall weight will be heavier and the amount of power used during flight will increase. This makes it difficult to extend the flight distance on a single charge.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6430057 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] A floating drone equipped with a solar panel and a storage battery is used to generate solar power. The vehicle will have to wait at sea (drift) until the battery is fully charged by power generation. When the battery is fully charged, the drone will fly at a low altitude and When the capacity decreases, slowly land on the water, stop the propeller and wait on the sea. By repeatedly charging and flying, it takes time, but the flight distance is almost infinite. Make it big. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The drone is equipped with an AI (my avatar), solar panels, and a storage battery, has a streamlined, sealed structure, and is designed to float on water and remain watertight even when doused in water.It flies low over the sea, automatically driven by the AI, and uses solar power to charge the storage battery.When the battery is fully charged, the power from the storage battery is used to rotate multiple motors and the propellers linked to the motors at high speed, allowing the drone to fly at a height of 3m above the sea.As the power capacity of the storage battery decreases over the course of the flight, the propeller rotation speed is gradually reduced, allowing the drone to softly land on the sea. After softly landing on the sea, the drone remains in standby mode and drifts. Since it does not use power to rotate its propellers at high speed and solar power is generated continuously, the battery charge gradually increases over time. Once the battery is fully charged, it will fly again at low altitude (3m) over the sea, repeating this cycle and enabling long-distance flights. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] The intermittent flight drone system is resistant to earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons, making it the safest place to fly, and allowing you to travel long distances, such as across the Pacific Ocean, while enjoying a slow life. Generally, in order to sell manufactured products made in a factory to customers, it takes a considerable amount of time and money to pack, transport and unpack them, but this is not necessary (although it takes time). Intermittent flight drones deliver themselves to customers, so there are no costs involved. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] This shows an overview of the present invention, mainly based on an image of a large cruise ship. [Figure 2] 1 shows an overview of the present invention, and an image of the movement and life of a small number of people. [Figure 3] This is an image of an intermittent flying drone moving and waiting on land. [Figure 4]The AI ​​that controls autonomous driving is like my avatar. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The drone is equipped with an AI (my avatar), solar panels, and a storage battery, has a streamlined, sealed structure, and is designed to float on water and remain watertight even when doused in water.It flies low over the sea, automatically driven by the AI, and uses solar power to charge the storage battery.When the battery is fully charged, the power from the storage battery is used to rotate multiple motors and the propellers linked to the motors at high speed, allowing the drone to fly at a height of 3m above the sea.As the power capacity of the storage battery decreases over the course of the flight, the propeller rotation speed is gradually reduced, allowing the drone to softly land on the sea. After softly landing on the sea, the drone remains in standby mode and drifts. Since it does not use power to rotate its propellers and solar power is generated continuously, the battery charge gradually increases over time. Once fully charged, the drone will fly again 3 meters above the sea, repeating this cycle and enabling long-distance flight.

[0009] Figure 1 shows an intermittent flight drone system in which a drone has a sealed structure that floats on water and does not flood even when covered in water, is equipped with solar panels and a storage battery, and is also equipped with AI. Under the control of the AI, the storage battery is charged using power generated by solar power generation. When the battery is fully charged, the power from the storage battery is used to rotate multiple motors and propellers linked to the motors at high speed, causing the drone to fly at low altitude over sea and land. As the power capacity of the storage battery decreases over the course of flight, the propeller rotation speed is gradually reduced, causing the drone to softly land on sea or land. After softly landing on sea or land, the drone waits there and does not use power to rotate the propellers, and solar power generation is continued. As a result, the charge in the storage battery gradually increases over time. When the battery is fully charged, the cycle of low-altitude flight over sea and land is repeated, enabling long-distance flight. Furthermore, while the drone system is waiting or drifting, it may collide with or come into contact with various obstacles, but the outer frame of the motor and propeller acts as a damper, preventing the entire system from being destroyed and ensuring the safety of personnel. At night or in bad weather, power generation and charging are not possible, and the device may drift for a long time. However, by calculating the tide in advance, it is possible to avoid contact with obstacles. Make sure to land in the correct location. To reduce weight, there are no structures in the center, so you can fish there or You can set up a net and enjoy swimming and various marine sports. Figure 2 shows a similar image to Figure 1, which is a large cruise ship, but with small, personal drones for a small number of people flying intermittently at low speed and altitude, automatically controlled by AI (my avatar). The "intermittent flying ultra-low altitude flying ship (which can also be considered a house)" is (1) 100% renewable energy (solar power generated by Japanese-made panels), (2) absolutely safe against earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons, (3) capable of safe travel 24 hours a day, (4) has a stable supply of electricity and water for daily use (seawater desalination and purification equipment, and atmospheric water that absorbs moisture from the atmosphere), and (5) is easy to drain (if there is a sewerage system, it can be drained into the sea; no sewer system is required). In addition, with automatic operation by AI (my avatar), temporary housing will arrive within a day from nearby municipalities, and even from distant municipalities, it can arrive within about a week, so temporary housing will arrive on its own from municipalities all over the country, The temporary housing needs will be met within one week It is thought that... In the event of a large-scale natural disaster, the system will provide safe, air-conditioned housing with electricity and potable water the day after the disaster. Each city, town, or village would own one vehicle for every 10,000 people (a city with a population of 100,000 would own 100 vehicles), and they would be sent all at once from each city, town, or village to areas affected by a large-scale natural disaster, which is expected to fill the temporary housing needs within a day or a week (in remote areas). Figure 3 shows an image of the land-based travel and waiting area, explaining that when no passengers are on board, the drone can fly at an altitude of more than 100m, avoiding obstacles and in an area where no human casualties will occur even if it were to fall. Figure 4 shows an overview of the AI ​​= My Avatar system. My Avatar is: It is an avatar (virtual human) in the digital space (on a PC screen) that has the appearance, voice, personality, etc. of an individual's choice, and the My Avatar System represents the biggest reform in education, the biggest reform in work, and the biggest reform in life. The personal avatar will manage the amount of power generated and the amount of charge, control automatic driving, manage indoor air conditioning, manage atmospheric water as drinking water, manage seawater desalination and purification equipment, and manage sewage treatment equipment. [Industrial Applicability]

[0010] The intermittent flight drone system is resistant to earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons, and is a safe place, allowing people to travel long distances, such as across the Pacific Ocean, while enjoying a slow life. Generally, in order to sell manufactured products made in a factory to customers, it takes a considerable amount of time and money to pack, transport and unpack them, but this is not necessary (although it takes time). Intermittent flight drones deliver themselves to customers, so there are no costs involved.

Claims

[Claim 1] This is an intermittent flight drone system in which a drone carrying a person is equipped with an airtight structure that floats on water and does not become submerged even when covered in water, is equipped with solar panels and a storage battery, and is also equipped with AI.The storage battery is charged with power generated by solar power under the control of the AI, and when the battery is fully charged, the power from the storage battery is used to rotate multiple motors and the propellers linked to the motors at high speed, causing the drone to fly at low altitude over sea and land.As the power capacity of the storage battery decreases over the course of flight, the rotation speed of the propellers is gradually reduced, causing the drone to make a soft landing on sea or land.After the drone has softly landed on sea or land, it drifts or waits as is, and does not use power to rotate the propellers, and solar power is continuously generated, so the charge in the storage battery gradually increases over time, and when the battery is fully charged, it repeats the cycle of low-altitude flight over sea and land again, making it possible to fly around the world.
