小型多旋翼无人机的电池自动更换系统Automatic Battery Replacement System for Small Multi-rotor UAV

技术领域technical field

本发明属于无人机技术领域,特别是一种小型多旋翼无人机的电池自动更换系统。The invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to an automatic battery replacement system for a small multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle.

背景技术Background technique

近年来,随着地震、洪水、核污染等大型自然灾害频发,小型多旋翼无人机的研究逐渐成为无人机研究的热点。小型多旋翼无人机具有成本低、效费比高、无人员伤亡风险及可以涉足到有人机无法到达的区域(核,化学,细菌感染区域)等优点。在军用和民用领域也具有广泛的应用前景,如低空侦察、气象勘测、航空摄影、交通巡逻等。但是局限于机体大小原因,小型多旋翼无人机在空中飞行时间很短,需要经常更换电池,比较麻烦,浪费好多人力物力资源。针对小型多旋翼无人机的电池自动更换系统的研究相当必要。In recent years, with the frequent occurrence of large-scale natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and nuclear pollution, the research on small multi-rotor UAVs has gradually become a hot spot in UAV research. Small multi-rotor UAVs have the advantages of low cost, high cost-effectiveness, no risk of casualties, and can get involved in areas that cannot be reached by manned aircraft (nuclear, chemical, and bacterial infection areas). It also has broad application prospects in military and civilian fields, such as low-altitude reconnaissance, weather survey, aerial photography, traffic patrol, etc. However, limited to the size of the body, small multi-rotor drones fly in the air for a short time, requiring frequent battery replacement, which is cumbersome and wastes a lot of manpower and material resources. The research on automatic battery replacement system for small multi-rotor UAV is quite necessary.

目前没有针对小型多旋翼无人机的电池自动更换平台系统,都是通过人工去安装电池,因为小型多旋翼无人机结构相对比较小,能够承载的电池也比较小,所以供电时间相对很短一般维持在15分钟到20分钟,这样就需要人工不断的去更换电池,大大浪费人力资源。At present, there is no automatic battery replacement platform system for small multi-rotor UAVs. The batteries are installed manually. Because the structure of small multi-rotor UAVs is relatively small, the battery that can be carried is also relatively small, so the power supply time is relatively short. Generally, it is maintained at 15 minutes to 20 minutes, so that it is necessary to manually replace the battery continuously, which greatly wastes human resources.

申请号为201010603039.4的中国专利公开了一种电动汽车电池的自动快换系统及自动快换方法。该专利公开了一种电动汽车电池的自动快换方案,该系统可实现单个的电池自动更换,但是每一次更换完之后还需要不断的人工往换电池运输机上摆放电池,自动化程度不高,非常不方便。Chinese patent application number 201010603039.4 discloses an automatic quick-change system and an automatic quick-change method for electric vehicle batteries. This patent discloses an automatic quick-change solution for electric vehicle batteries. This system can realize automatic replacement of a single battery. However, after each replacement, it is necessary to manually place the batteries on the battery-replacement transport plane. The degree of automation is not high. very inconvenient.

用在电动汽车上的电池更换装置,虽然可以实现自动安装。但是只能一次对应一个,安装完了还需要重新装配,基于电动汽车的电力需求量,就需要很多这样的更换装置,成本相对很高并且制作复杂。The battery replacement device used in electric vehicles, although it can be installed automatically. But it can only correspond to one at a time, and it needs to be reassembled after installation. Based on the power demand of electric vehicles, many such replacement devices are required, which are relatively expensive and complicated to manufacture.

C、升降杆上升,一直到小型多旋翼无人机下的电池槽位置。C. The elevating mast goes up until it reaches the battery slot under the small multi-rotor UAV.

D、跟上面卸载的D部分一样,通过控制抓手下的伺服电机3,实现对电池的旋转。D. Same as the unloading part D above, the rotation of the battery is realized by controlling the servo motor 3 under the gripper.

E、当进行完90度的旋转之后,电池槽上面的电池固定板1.4会通过弹簧1.5,使电池的插孔与小型多旋翼无人机上的插头实现盲插,进行对无人机的供电。E. After the 90-degree rotation is completed, the battery fixing plate 1.4 on the battery slot will pass through the spring 1.5, so that the socket of the battery and the plug on the small multi-rotor drone can be blindly plugged in to supply power to the drone.

F、升降杆执行完这些操作之后,通过电机10控制,缩回到原来位置,然后给标志物下面的电机发送解锁指令,实现对起落架的解锁。F. After the elevating lever performs these operations, it is controlled by the motor 10 to retract to the original position, and then an unlocking command is sent to the motor under the marker to realize unlocking of the landing gear.

最终就实现了小型多旋翼无人机的电池自动更换操作。Finally, the automatic battery replacement operation of the small multi-rotor UAV is realized.

本发明采用转盘式电池储备仓,一次最多可以进行5次电池的更换,本发明采用盲插式电池安装方便快捷效率高;本发明的装置实现了小型多旋翼无人机电池的自动装载和卸载,从而实现小型多旋翼无人机电池的自动更换。The present invention adopts a turntable battery storage bin, which can replace the battery up to 5 times at a time. The present invention adopts the blind plug-in battery installation, which is convenient, fast and efficient; the device of the present invention realizes the automatic loading and unloading of the battery of the small multi-rotor drone , so as to realize the automatic replacement of the battery of the small multi-rotor UAV.
