It turns out drones can also use water cooling
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is a kind of unmanned aircraft operated by radio remote control equipment and self-provided program control device. It can be divided into military and civilian applications. In addition, it is widely used in aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, micro selfie, express transportation, disaster relief, wildlife observation, infectious disease monitoring, surveying and mapping, news report, power inspection, disaster relief, film shooting and romance manufacturing, which greatly expands the use of UAV itself.
However, in the existing UAV, there are problems such as poor damping effect, weak heat dissipation and poor energy saving effect. Often in the process of landing, due to the impact force is too strong and lead to internal components loose or damaged, and then affect the service life, and in a long time of work, the internal components often burn out due to overheating, and its energy saving is poor. Therefore, it is necessary to design a UAV with good damping effect, strong heat dissipation and good energy saving effect.
Unmanned aerial vehicle has the characteristics of small structure, long range, manual remote control operation, etc. Let's analyze them one by one:
First of all, the UAV has the characteristics of small structure, heat concentration and heat dissipation; Efficient cooling methods are needed to meet this. General heat dissipation methods include passive cooling and air cooling . These two cooling methods are relatively simple and low cost, and are widely used in many industries. UAV, as a precision equipment, has great requirements on cooling . If the cooling is not good, the flight deviation will bring serious consequences. Even damage the equipment, and we all know drones are expensive. Drones require high accuracy and stability, so everything has to be around this goal to serve.
As a trend of heat dissipation, water cooling has been introduced into the cooling of UAV. Water cooling benefits are quiet and efficient green. Similar to computer water cooling, the need for a heat-absorbing cold head and heating core close fit, the use of the power of the pump to push the heat conduction liquid into the cold head, and then to the cooling cooling, after the completion of the cooling process back to the pump. This circulation, so as to achieve the purpose of cooling water. Another advantage of water cooling is that it can be customized. You can customize different water cooling block, radiator, and water pumps for different scenarios.
