Description

Wireless charging station for drones {WIRELESS CHARGING STATION FOR DRONE}

The present invention relates to a charging station for wirelessly charging the drone.

In general, drones are unmanned aerial vehicles operated by radio waves or by their own programs. The drone is equipped with a camera, sensor, and communication system. Drones can range in weight from 25g to 1200kg, and vary in size. Drones were first created for military use, but are being used extensively for aerial photography and delivery. In addition, drones are being used in a variety of areas, including monitoring facilities, monitoring border areas, spraying pesticides, and measuring air quality.

The power for drone operation is mainly generated by electric batteries. Therefore, the operational distance of the drone is directly related to the capacity of the battery. For example, if the drone's operational distance determined by the capacity of the battery is 15 km, the actual working distance of the drone is only 7.5 km. Since the drone has to return to charge the battery, the maximum working distance is only half the operational distance.

In order to increase the working distance of the drone to the level of the operational distance, a charging station capable of charging the drone needs to be installed at regular intervals. In the case of the drone mentioned above, the charging stations are installed at intervals of 15 km, so that the drones that can travel the distance can be charged.

The housing 110 forms a basic skeleton in which the elevation driving module 130, the door module 150, and the like are installed. The housing 110 may have a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. To this end, the housing 110 may have a bottom 111, a side wall 113, and a landing plate 115. The side wall 113 may extend in a height direction from the bottom 111 and may form four side surfaces corresponding to the four corners of the bottom 111. Accordingly, the bottom 111 and the side wall 113 may form an accommodation space 114 with an open top. The landing plate 115 is disposed substantially parallel to the bottom 111 and may be positioned at a height similar to the top of the sidewall 113. The drone D lands on the landing plate 115.

The elevation driving module 130 is configured to elevate the landing plate 115 within the accommodation space 114. The landing plate 115 may be moved in the vertical direction V by the elevation driving module 130. To this end, the elevation driving module 130 may be installed to connect the floor 111 and the landing plate 115.

The door module 150 is configured to close the landing plate 115 or expose it to the outside. To this end, the door module 150 may include a door 151 movably coupled to the sidewall 113. The door 151 may specifically include a pair of sliding doors that are slidably coupled to the side walls 113. The pair of sliding doors move close to each other along the horizontal direction H or the moving direction to cover the landing plate 115 or move away from each other to expose the landing plate 115 to the outside. To this end, the sliding door includes a cover body 152. The cover body 152 is formed to surround the outside of the side wall 113. When the pair of sliding doors are in contact with each other, they form a dome as a whole to cover the landing plate 115.

The alignment module 170 is configured to align the drone D landing on the landing plate 115 in place. To this end, the alignment module 170 may be installed on the landing plate 115.

The wireless power transmission module 190 is configured to wirelessly charge the drone (D). To this end, the wireless power transmission module 190 is installed on the landing plate 115. The wireless power transmission module 190 is configured to transmit a wireless power signal to the wireless power receiving pad of the drone (D).

The optical indicator 210 is configured to notify the operating state of the lift driving module 130, the door module 150, and the wireless power transmission module 190 to the outside. To this end, the light indicator 210 may be a light source assembly extending along the height direction V to the housing 110, specifically the sidewall 113. The optical indicator 210 may specifically include an LED assembly arranged in a line. The optical indicator 210 may emit light with a unique color specialized for the corresponding module according to the operation of the lift driving module 130 or the like.

Now, with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the elevator driving module 130 will be described in detail.

The lift driving module 130 may include a first link 131, a second link 132, and a lift driving force generating unit 135.

The first link 131 is disposed in an oblique direction with respect to the floor 111 and the landing plate 115. Accordingly, one end 131a of the first link 131 is rotatably connected to the floor 111. In contrast, the other end 131b of the first link 131 is rotatably connected to the landing plate 115.

The second link 132 is disposed in an inclined direction with respect to the bottom 111 and the landing plate 115, and is disposed to intersect with the first link 131. The central portion of the second link 132 is rotatably coupled to the central portion of the first link 131. The second link 132 is combined with the first link 131 to form one link set. The set of links may be disposed one on each side of the landing plate 115, and may be disposed in two sets as a whole. One end 132a of the second link 132 is rotatably connected to the floor 111. In contrast, the other end 132b of the second link 132 is rotatably connected to the landing plate 115.

The lifting driving force generating unit 135 is configured to slide and drive one end 132a of the second link 132. The lifting driving force generating unit 135 may be installed on the floor 111. The lifting driving force generating unit 135 may include a lifting motor 136, a lifting ball screw 137, a connecting bracket 138, and a guide member 139. The elevating motor 136 is configured to generate rotational force. The lifting ball screw 137 is configured to operate by the rotational force of the lifting motor 136. The connecting bracket 138 is coupled to the nut among the lifting ball screws 137. One end 132a of the second link 132 is rotatably connected to the connection bracket 138. The guide member 139 is disposed along the horizontal direction H to guide the connecting bracket 138 to slide in the horizontal direction H. The guide member 139 may include, for example, an LM guide.

As the elevating motor 136 rotates in one direction, the elevating ball screw 137 operates, so that the nut of the elevating ball screw 137 moves in the horizontal direction (H). Thereby, one end 132a of the second link 132 connected by the connection bracket 138 to the nut also moves in the horizontal direction H. At this time, the other end 131b of the first link 131 is also moved in the horizontal direction H along the guide member 133 installed on the bottom surface of the landing plate 115. This guide member 133 may also be an LM guide. By this operation, as the angle formed by the first link 131 and the second link 132 increases, the landing plate 115 descends in the vertical direction (V). When the elevating motor 136 rotates in the other direction, the angle formed by the first link 131 and the second link 132 decreases, and the landing plate 115 will rise in the vertical direction (V).

Now, referring to FIGS. 4 to 6, the door module 150 will be described.

The door module 150 may include a door driving force generating unit 155 and a connection unit 161 in addition to the door 151 described above.

The door driving force generating unit 155 may be installed on the side wall 113 within the accommodation space 114. The door driving force generating unit 155 may include a door motor 156, a pulley 157, and a belt 158. The door motor 156 rotates the pulley 157 by generating rotational force. The pulley 157 may be provided as a pair arranged along the horizontal direction (H). The belt 158 wraps a pair of pulleys 157 and rotates with a trajectory along the horizontal direction H by rotation of the pulleys 157.

The connection unit 161 is a component that connects the door driving force generating unit 155 and the door 151. To this end, the connection unit 161 may include a connection base 162, a connection bracket 163, a first connection element 165, and a second connection element 167. The connection base 162 may be disposed parallel to the side wall 113 along the horizontal direction H. The connection base 162 may be coupled to the inner surface of the door 151. The connection bracket 163 is configured to connect the belt 158 and the connection base 162. To this end, the connection bracket 163 penetrates through the communication hole 114 formed in the side wall 113 and extends outward in the accommodation space 114. The first connecting element 165 has a slider 166a and a rail block 166b. The slider 166a is coupled to the bottom surface of the connection base 162 and is disposed along the movement direction of the door 151. The rail block 166b slidably accommodates the slider 166a and is coupled to the upper surface of the sidewall 113. The second connecting element 167 is configured to slidably connect the side surface of the connection base 162 and the side surface of the side wall 113. The second connecting element 167 may have a first receiving bracket 168a, a second receiving bracket 168b, and an intermediate member 168c. The first receiving bracket 168a is coupled to the side of the connecting base 162. The second receiving bracket 168b is coupled to the side of the side wall 113. The intermediate member 168c is fixed to the first receiving bracket 168a and is slidably accommodated in the second receiving bracket 168b.

According to this configuration, as the door motor 156 rotates in one direction, the belt 158 moves. As the belt 158 moves, the connection bracket 163 connected to the belt 158 moves. The connection base 162 to which the connection bracket 163 is coupled is moved together with the door 151. During the movement of the door 151, the first connecting element 165 and the second connecting element 167 guide the movement of the connecting base 162. Furthermore, since the first connecting element 165 and the second connecting element 167 act in different directions with respect to the connecting base 162, they also prevent sagging due to the weight of the door 151.

When the door motor 156 rotates in the other direction, the moving directions of the belt 158 and the connection bracket 163 are reversed as before. Accordingly, the connection base 162 and the door 151 connected to the connection bracket 163 also move in the opposite direction as before.

Referring again to FIGS. 3 and 4, the alignment module 170 will be described.

The alignment module 170 may include a pressing member 171 and an alignment driving force generating unit 175.

The pressing member 171 is configured to be in contact with the leg of the drone D (L, see FIG. 1 above). Specifically, the pressing member 171 may be composed of a pair of pressing plates that move toward the drone D and move the legs L of the drone D to the correct position. The face of the pressure plate facing the legs L may have a pair of pressure regions 172a and 172b forming an obtuse angle between each other. The pair of pressing regions 172a and 172b may form an angle of approximately 135 °. The pair of pressing plates are arranged so that the pair of pressing regions 172a and 172b of each other face each other. As a result, as the pair of pressing plates are close to each other in the horizontal direction H, the pair of pressing regions 172a and 172b are bridged along the X-axis and Y-axis directions in the plane formed by the landing plate 115. (L) is moved to the correct position. The landing plate 115 is formed with a coating area 116 coated with a friction-reducing material, on which the drone D can be smoothly moved in the X-axis and Y-axis directions. As the friction-reducing material, for example, Teflon may be used.

The alignment driving force generating unit 175 is configured to drive the pressing member 171. The alignment driving force generating unit 175 may include an alignment motor 176, an alignment ball screw 177, a connecting link 178, and a guide member 179. The alignment motor 176 may be installed on the bottom surface of the landing plate 115. The alignment ball screw 177 is operated by the rotational force generated by the alignment motor 176. The connecting link 178 connects the moving nut and the pressing member 171 among the alignment ball screws 177. The connecting link 178 penetrates the extension hole 117 and is connected to the pressing member 171. Here, the extension hole 117 is a hole opened through the landing plate 115 along the movement direction of the pressing member 171. The guide member 179 is installed on the bottom surface of the landing plate 115, and slidably supports the connection link 178. The pressing member 171 may be an LM guide, and is disposed to follow the moving direction of the pressing member 171.

The alignment module 170 may include a landing detection sensor 181 and a position detection sensor 183 to determine the landing state of the drone D. The landing detection sensor 181 is installed on the landing plate 115 to detect whether the leg L of the drone D is seated on the landing plate 115. The landing detection sensors 181 may be provided in a pair, and they may be respectively disposed outside the pair of pressing members 171. The landing detection sensor 181 is an optical sensor, which irradiates light toward the leg L of the drone D to the lower space of the pressing member 171, and the leg L from the reflected light to the landing detection sensor 181 You will find out if you are seated. The position detection sensor 183 may be installed on the pressing member 171. Thereby, the fixed position detection sensor 183 determines whether the drone D is in the correct position while the pressing member 171 is operated. For the positioning sensor 183, a gap sensor may be used, for example.

According to this configuration, the alignment module 170 pushes the drone D landed on the coating region 116 to the pressing member 171 to move it to the home position. To this end, the pair of pressing members 171 are moved toward the center of the coating region 116 by the alignment driving force generating unit 175.

Before the pressing member 171 is operated, the landing detection sensor 181 detects whether the drone D is properly seated on the landing plate 115, specifically, the coating region 116. After the pressing member 171 is operated, the position detection sensor 183 detects whether the drone D is in position. According to these detection results, whether or not the pressing member 171 is operated, or an operating time may be determined.

3, 4, and 7, the wireless power transmission module 190 includes a wireless power transmission pad 191, a base frame 193, a wireless power driving force generating unit 195, and an interlocking unit 201 ).

The wireless power transmission pad 191 is configured to generate a wireless power signal. The wireless power signal is transmitted to the wireless power receiving pad installed in the drone (D). The wireless power transmission pad 191 rises from the lower side of the landing plate 115 to the upper side through the opening 119 of the landing plate 115 or vice versa.

The base frame 193 is installed on the side of the opening 119 at the bottom surface of the landing plate 115 and is arranged to extend toward the bottom 111. The base frame 193 is an object to which the wireless power transmission pad 191 is installed. The base frame 193 may be disposed along a vertical direction H perpendicular to the landing plate 115.

The wireless power driving force generating unit 195 is configured to generate a driving force (elevating driving force) that causes the wireless power transmission pad 191 to move up and down relative to the base frame 193. The wireless power driving force generating unit 195 is installed in the base frame 193. Specifically, the wireless power driving force generating unit 195 may include a wireless motor 196, a wireless screw 197, and a wireless nut 198. The wireless motor 196 is configured to generate a rotational force that is a source of the elevation driving force. The wireless screw 197 is rotated in conjunction with the wireless motor 196. The wireless nut 198 is screwed to the wireless screw 197 and moves up and down in the vertical direction H by rotation of the wireless screw 197. Here, the wireless power transfer pad 191 should stop rising when it comes into contact with the wireless power receiving pad of the drone (D). To this end, as the wireless motor 196, a torque motor capable of stopping operation as the wireless power transmission pad 191 contacts the wireless power receiving pad may be used. Alternatively, when the communication module 220 for communicating with the drone (D) is provided on the landing plate 115, the control module 230 (FIG. 7) adjusts the specification of the drone (D) through the communication module 220. Based on the grasped and grasped specifications, the operation amount of the wireless motor 196 can be controlled.

The interlocking unit 201 is a component that interlocks the wireless power driving force generating unit 195 and the wireless power transmission pad 191. Specifically, the interlocking unit 201 may include a support bracket connected to the wireless nut 198 and supporting the wireless power transfer pad 191.

According to this configuration, while the drone D is landing on the landing plate 115, the wireless power transmission pad 191 is positioned below the landing plate 115. Thereby, the wireless power transmission pad 191 does not become an obstacle to the landing process of the drone D. After the drone (D) lands on the landing plate 115 and is aligned to the correct position, the wireless power transmission pad 191 is raised by the wireless power driving force generating unit 195 and the wireless power receiving pad of the drone (D) And ascend to a nearby position. Thereafter, by operating the wireless power transmission pad 191, a wireless power signal for charging the drone D may be transmitted to the wireless power receiving pad.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9 (again, FIGS. 1 to 7), the operation method of the drone wireless charging station 100 will be described.

The drone wireless charging station 100 includes a control module 230 for controlling the lift driving module 130 and the like. The control module 230 is a computing device and may be mounted in an accommodation space 114 (or more, see FIG. 2) of the housing 110.

The control module 230 receives relevant information from the landing detection sensor 181, the home position detection sensor 183, and the communication module 220. The control module 230 controls the operation of the elevation driving module 130, the door module 150, the alignment module 170, the wireless power transmission module 190, and the optical indicator 210 based on the information. .

Specifically, in the standby state before the drone D approaches the drone wireless charging station 100, the door module 150 is in a closed state closing the landing plate 115 (Fig. 9 (a)).

As the drone D approaches the drone wireless charging station 100, the control module 230 causes the door 151 of the door module 150 to move in the horizontal direction H to expose the landing plate 115. {Fig. 9 (b)}.

When the drone D lands on the landing plate 115, the landing detection sensor 181 detects the leg L of the drone D. Based on the detection result, the control module 230 determines whether the drone D is seated on the landing plate 115. When the leg L is not properly detected, the control module 230 determines that the drone D is not seated on the landing plate 115. When the landing detection sensor 181 detects the leg L, the control module 230 operates the alignment module 170. Thereafter, the position detection sensor 183 detects whether the drone D is in the correct position, and if it is not, the control module 230 may cause the alignment module 170 to reoperate (FIG. 9 (c) )}.

If it is determined that the drone (D) is in place, the control module 230 operates the wireless power transmission module 190. Of the wireless power transmission module 190, the wireless power transmission pad 191 rises to approach or contact the drone D, and transmits a wireless power signal to the wireless power receiving pad of the drone D. Furthermore, the wireless power transfer pad 191 is located between the two legs L of the drone D, and also prevents the drone D from being pushed to one side by the wind (Fig. 9 (d)).

The control module 230 controls the lift driving module 130 to lower the landing plate 115 supporting the drone D toward the bottom 111. Thereby, the drone D is located in the accommodation space 114 (Fig. 9 (e)).

In a state in which the drone D is lowered, the control module 230 controls the door module 150 so that the door 151 closes the landing plate 115. Thereby, the wireless power transmission module 190 may wirelessly charge the drone D while the drone D is located in the closed space by the housing 110 and the door module 150. In order to make this more secure, the control module 230 may lower the landing plate 115 first and allow the wireless power transmission module 190 to operate while the door 151 is closed.

In this series of operating processes, the control module 230 may control the light indicator 210 so that a specific color outputs light in a specific process. Specifically, for the operation of at least two of the lifting driving module 130, the door module 150, the alignment module 170, and the wireless power transmission module 190, different light is output. Thereby, the manager can grasp the operating state of the drone wireless charging station 100 from the outside.

The wireless charging station for a drone as described above is not limited to the configuration and operation of the embodiments described above. The above embodiments may be configured such that all or part of each embodiment is selectively combined to make various modifications.
