Drone for Plant Protection
Chinese drone manufacturers recently launched a new drone for plant protection with a load capacity of 30 kilograms and a new level of intelligence.
The new plant protection drone is equipped with a new plunger pump, which can provide 8L/min super large flow; 16 nozzle layouts to ensure uniform spray droplets, effective spray width can reach 9 meters; 8 sets of solenoid valves can independently adjust frequency conversion for each set of control, real-time flight speed and spraying volume linkage, uniform spraying throughout the entire process. The efficiency can reach 240 acre per hour, suitable for large-scale farm vegetation management. This drone is known as the most powerful plant protection drone with the most comprehensive performance.
The carbon fiber composite body and folding arm design achieve a reliable high folding ratio, and the volume is reduced by 80% after folding. Independent protection of the core module, plus triple structure guarantee design, circuit board potting and other treatments, the protection level of the whole machine reaches IP67, can resist the attack of liquid medicine, dust, fertilizer, dust, water and corrosion
This UAV is equipped with a spherical radar system, which can detect obstacles in all directions, and is not affected by light, water mist, and dust, and can circumvent or avoid obstacles autonomously. Both the nose and the tail of the aircraft are equipped with FPV cameras to achieve a stable image transmission of 5 kilometers. During the flight, the operator can grasp the scene of the aircraft from the screen. Combined with the bright searchlight, it is more reassuring to work at night
When spraying liquid medicine on fruit trees with thick canopy, the drone was designed a special kit. The arm will rise to a certain angle and adjust the spraying elevation angle to allow the droplets to penetrate the canopy along the oblique angle of the branches to ensure that the liquid medicine goes from top to bottom evenly. The pain point that the liquid medicine cannot penetrate to the back of the middle and lower leaves is solved. In order to cope with the complex operating scenarios of fruit trees, the route planning function has also been upgraded. Orchards with flat terrain can be directly operated with the help of radar; Orchards with complex terrain, with the help of smart cloud platform that build maps and route planning, and easily manage your digital orchard.
The load is increased to 30 kg, the fertilizer flow rate is as high as 40-50 kg/min, and the spreading width is 7 meters. It can complete 1 ton of fertilizer in 1 hour. According to reports, fertilizers are highly corrosive, and the new spreading system uses multi-layer oil seal protection to improve corrosion resistance and can be washed directly. The dual systems of real-time weight monitoring and no-material monitoring, combined with farmland prescription maps, can achieve precise variable fertilization, helping farmland achieve weight loss and efficiency, reduce costs and increase income. At the same time, the price of the drone is also greatly reduced, so that ordinary farmers can also buy it.
As of November 2020, the number of plant protection drones in China has exceeded 70,000 units. In 2020, the operation area will exceed 500 million acre, and the operation will cover more than 100 crops in 34 provincial administrative regions across the country, such as rice, wheat, corn, citrus, apples and tobacco leaves, etc., have saved more than 15 million tons of agricultural water for farmers and helped thousands of farmers solve the problem of plant protection.
