With technological advancements, plant protection drones are playing an increasingly important role in agricultural operations. They not only improve work efficiency but also significantly reduce the labor intensity for farmers. However, what should pilots pay attention to when conducting plant protection drone spraying operations?
1. Pre-Operation Preparations
- Conduct thorough inspections before flight to ensure safe operations.
1 ) Drone Inspection: Before each flight, conduct a comprehensive check of the drone to ensure the fuselage, wings, sensors, cameras, and other equipment are intact.
2 ) Pesticide Dilution: Follow the pesticide instructions to ensure proper dilution ratios, avoiding concentrations that are too high or too low, which could affect effectiveness.
3 ) Weather Conditions: Monitor weather changes before flight and avoid operations in harsh conditions such as strong winds, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.
2. In-Flight Precautions
- Avoid low-battery takeoffs to prevent crashes or battery over-discharge.
1 ) Flight Altitude and Speed: Adjust altitude and speed based on crop type and growth stage to ensure even pesticide coverage.
2 ) Battery Capacity: The drone’s battery endurance is critical for operational efficiency. Use high-quality batteries with high energy density and long endurance to maximize flight time.
3 ) Flight Safety: Operators must remain highly focused during flight and be prepared to handle emergencies.
3. Post-Operation Maintenance
- Clean the drone and batteries promptly after operations to remove pesticide residue.
1 ) Drone Cleaning: Clean the drone immediately after use to prevent corrosion from pesticide residue.
2 ) Battery Charging and Storage: Recharge batteries promptly after use and store them in a cool, dry place. High-efficiency charging technology from energy storage stations enables rapid charging for drone batteries while supporting simultaneous charging of multiple batteries, significantly improving efficiency. Additionally, energy storage stations feature intelligent power management, automatically adjusting charging current based on battery status to prolong battery health.
