- Abstract
- In the past, most of the drone was developed for military use, but recently it has been rapidly growing into industrial and civilian markets due to its potential to be applied to various fields. The industry of drones is attracting attention as a model of manufacturing and service convergence, creating synergy by converging with information technology and various services. However, the operating time of the commercial drone is limited to 15 ~ 20 minutes, so frequent wired charging is required. In order to overcome these drawbacks, this paper proposes a technology that can operate the drone by using wireless charging technology instead of cumbersome wired charging. The proposed technique can start wireless charging automatically when the drones land on the charging station. To maintain efficiency above 50%, regardless of the location of the charging station, a structure using two receiving coils has been proposed. In this case, two receiving coils can be applied to one or two receivers. In this paper, we analyze the advantages and disadvantages of these two cases and discuss the receiver structure and the method of maximizing chargeable area.
