The invention provides an operating method of spraying a
pesticide by an unmanned aerial vehicle, which comprises the following steps: calculating parameters W and K of a spraying
system and a spraying dosage P in a unit area, and transmitting W, K and P to a flight
control system of the unmanned aerial vehicle through a
ground station; obtaining a
flight speed V of the unmanned aerial vehicle by a GPS (
global positioning system) module; calculating a control
voltage U of a liquid pump by the flight
control system according to the parameters W and K of the spraying
system, the spraying dosage P in the unit area and the
flight speed V; and driving the liquid pump to work by the control
voltage U of the liquid pump and spraying the
pesticide through a
nozzle. By adoption of the operating method, the control
voltage U of the liquid pump can be calculated precisely according to the characteristics of different farm crops,
pesticide types, a
dilution ratio of pesticide, the spraying dosage P in the unit area and the
flight speed V of the unmanned aerial vehicle, accurate control on the spraying flow is implemented, thereby making the pesticide spraying dosage in the unit area be uniform, improving the
adaptation of spraying pesticides by the unmanned aerial vehicle and effectively reducing the waste of pesticides and the environment pollutions.
