如圖7所示,本實施例的使用無人飛行載具檢測傳輸訊號品質的方法包含步驟S201~S207。 As shown in FIG. 7 , the method for detecting the quality of a transmission signal by using an unmanned aerial vehicle in this embodiment includes steps S201 to S207 .
在步驟S201,利用動力模組驅動無人飛行載具,沿無人飛行載具上的路徑規劃模組、基站的主機或伺服器所規劃的規劃路徑,移動至多個檢測點。 In step S201, the unmanned aerial vehicle is driven by the power module, and moves to multiple detection points along the path planning module on the unmanned aerial vehicle, the planned path planned by the host or server of the base station.
在步驟S203,在無人飛行載具飛行過程中,判斷動力模組剩餘電量是否高於一電量門檻值,或剩餘電量占滿額電量的比例是否高於一預設比例(此電量門檻值、預設比例可取決於從出發點或目前所在位置沿規劃路徑抵達下一個檢測點或剩餘的檢測點所需的電量)。若是,回到步驟S201。若否,執行步驟S205。 In step S203, during the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle, it is determined whether the remaining power of the power module is higher than a power threshold, or whether the ratio of the remaining power to the full power is higher than a preset ratio (the power threshold, the preset power The scale may depend on the amount of power required to travel from the starting point or current location to the next detection point or remaining detection points along the planned path). If yes, go back to step S201. If not, go to step S205.
在步驟S205,判定剩餘電量不足,利用動力模組驅動無人飛行載具移動至基站。舉例而言,路徑規劃模組可定位無人飛行載具目前所在的位置,並取得多個基站的設置位置,據以控制動力模組驅動無人飛行載具前往離目前所在位置最近的基站。 In step S205, it is determined that the remaining power is insufficient, and the power module is used to drive the unmanned aerial vehicle to move to the base station. For example, the path planning module can locate the current position of the unmanned aerial vehicle, obtain the setting positions of multiple base stations, and control the power module to drive the unmanned aerial vehicle to the base station closest to the current location.
在步驟S207,在無人飛行載具抵達基站時,利用基站的充電模 組充電無人飛行載具的電力銜接模組,並由電力銜接模組將從充電模組取得的電力供應給動力模組。在獲得飛行所需的電力後,回到步驟S201,利用動力模組驅動無人飛行載具繼續沿規劃路徑飛行。 In step S207, when the unmanned aerial vehicle arrives at the base station, use the charging mode of the base station A power connection module for charging the unmanned aerial vehicle is assembled, and the power obtained from the charging module is supplied by the power connection module to the power module. After the power required for flight is obtained, go back to step S201, and use the power module to drive the unmanned aerial vehicle to continue flying along the planned path.
