Abstract
A drone includes one or more rotatable propellers and one or more fixed propellers powered by one or more battery powered electric motors for providing upward and forward thrust to the drone during upward and forward movement of the drone respectively. The drone includes a set of sensors, so as to adjust a speed of the fixed and rotatable propellers in accordance with a speed and direction of the wind.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates generally to drone based
systems, and more specifically to optimizing propeller speed in drone design
using an onboard network of sensors.
BACKGROUND
A drone corresponds to a flying object of a shape such
as a plane or a helicopter flying by a control signal of a radio wave while not
carrying a human. They may carry various items such as cameras, sensors, and
communications equipment. Drones can vary greatly in terms of size and
complexity. Typically, a drone includes a propulsion system, a power source for
powering the propulsion system, a steering mechanism, a controller including a
remote communication system, and a frame maintaining all other components.
The small-sized drones include multiple propellers or
rotors to reduce an overall footprint of the drone while increasing lift, each
propeller provided with an electric motor. Examples of rotors include, but are
not limited to banana-type twin-rotors, counter-rotating coaxial rotors,
quadcopter and quadrotors.
However, existing drones are not able to achieve very
high flying heights and also not able to stay in air for a long time, because
of limited battery available. Small drones typically employ battery-powered
electric motors, and it is not possible to increase the size of battery as it
may affect the overall weight of the drone.
In light of the above, a need exists for increasing the
flying time of a drone without increasing the size of the battery.
SUMMARY
In accordance with an embodiment of the present
disclosure, there is provided a drone that includes a set of rotatable and
fixed propellers powered by one or more battery powered electric motor for
providing upward/forward thrust to the drone during upward/forward movement of
the drone respectively.
In accordance with an embodiment of the present
disclosure, the rotatable propellers are rotatable from 0-90 degrees according
to the direction of movement of the drone, facilitating the drone to lift
higher and remain in the air for a longer duration, thereby increasing the
flying time of the drone, and optimizing the battery usage.
In accordance with an embodiment of the present
disclosure, the drone includes a set of sensors that enable to adjust a speed
of the fixed and rotatable propellers in accordance with a speed and direction
of the wind, thereby increasing the flying time of the drone, and optimizing
the battery usage.
It will be appreciated that features of the present
disclosure are susceptible to being combined in various combinations without
departing from the scope of the present disclosure as defined by the appended
claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In the following description, for purposes of
explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a
thorough understanding of the invention. It will be apparent, however, to one
skilled in the art that the invention can be practiced without these specific
details. In other instances, structures and devices are shown in block diagram

Reference in this specification to “one embodiment” or
“an embodiment” means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic
described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one
embodiment of the invention. The appearance of the phrase “in one embodiment”
in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the
same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive
of other embodiments. Moreover, various features are described which may be
exhibited by some embodiments and not by others. Similarly, various
requirements are described which may be requirements for some embodiments but
not other embodiments.
Moreover, although the following description contains
many specifics for the purposes of illustration, anyone skilled in the art will
appreciate that many variations and/or alterations to said details are within
the scope of the present invention. Similarly, although many of the features of
the present invention are described in terms of each other, or in conjunction
with each other, one skilled in the art will appreciate that many of these
features can be provided independently of other features. Accordingly, this
description of the invention is set forth without any loss of generality to,
and without imposing limitations upon, the invention.
FIG. 1 illustrates a drone 100 moving in an upward
direction, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
The drone 100 is a shape of an aircraft with wings
102, first and second rotatable propellers 104a and 104b, and first, second and
third fixed propellers 104c, 104d (not shown) and 104e (hereinafter
collectively referred to as propellers 104). It will be apparent to a person
skilled in the art that further propellers 104 may be added to the drone 100,
without limiting the scope of the disclosure.
The propellers 104 may be powered by one or more
battery powered electric motors (not shown) and provide necessary
upward/forward thrust to the drone 100 during upward/forward movement of the
drone 100 respectively.
In an embodiment, the drone 100 may be remotely
controlled by a remote control device using RF technology. In another
embodiment, the drone 100 includes a processor so that it can be remotely
controlled using an application executing on a smart phone of the user.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the drone
100 includes one or more on-board sensors (not shown) such as wind direction
sensor, speed sensor, thermos sensor, drone direction sensor, so as to
automatically adjust the speed of the propellers 104 according to the direction
of the movement of the drone 100, facilitating the drone 100 to lift higher and
remain in the air for a longer duration, thereby increasing the flying time of
the drone 100, and optimizing the battery usage.
For example, if the drone 100 flies in the direction
of the wind, then the one or more on-board sensors enable to reduce the speed
of the propellers 104, and if the drone 100 flies in a direction against that
of the wind, then the one or more on-board sensors enable to increase the speed
of the propellers 104.
In an embodiment, the drone 100 carries a camera 112
that may be used to do aerial scanning of the outdoor environment, wherein the
aerial scanning results in two-dimensional/three dimensional view of the
outdoor environment. It will be apparent to a person skilled in the art that
further cameras, RGB cameras, sensors may be added to the drone 100, without
limiting the scope of the disclosure.
FIG.2 illustrates the drone 100 moving in a forward
direction, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
During the forward movement of the drone 100, the
first and second attachments 108a and 108b may be rotated either manually or
automatically so as to set the first and second rotatable propellers 104a and
104b in a plane perpendicular to the wings 102. When the first and second
rotatable propellers 104a and 104b are in a plane perpendicular to the wings
102 during the forward movement of the drone 100, they provide a forward thrust
to the drone 100, facilitating the drone 100 to remain in the air for a longer
duration, thereby increasing the flying time of the drone 100, and optimizing
the battery usage.
FIG.3 illustrates an inbuilt camera 114 embedded in
the drone 100 for performing an aerial scanning of the outdoor environment, in
accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
It will be further apparent to a person skilled in the
art that the drone 100 may be used for applications other than capturing
videos/images, without limiting the scope of the disclosure. For example, the
drone 100 may be used for remote sensing applications, delivery applications,
commercial aerial surveillance, commercial and motion picture filmmaking, oil,
gas and mineral exploration, disaster relief, real estate and construction, and
recreational use.
Numerous specific details may be set forth herein to
provide a thorough understanding of a number of possible embodiments of a drone
incorporating the present disclosure. It will be understood by those skilled in
