As indicated by arrow 401, within the designated area 210, the selected at least one application component will be delivered by the holder 320 to the surface to be loaded of the autopilot 110, and when at least one application component is loaded onto the autopilot, the power control device of the autopilot supplies power to the loaded at least one application component so that the loaded at least one application component can be operated; at the same time, a locking mechanism arranged on the application component or on the autopilot carrier or on both of them can effect a locking between the autopilot carrier and the loaded at least one application component.
When loading is complete, the autopilot system 100 may leave the designated area 210 through either autopilot control or remote control, as indicated by arrow 402.
With continued reference to fig. 6, when it is desired to switch the loaded application components on the autopilot, the autopilot 110 loaded with the application components that need to be switched can be placed within the designated area 210 by either the autopilot control or the remote control, as indicated by arrow 403. The holders 320 on the conveyor 300 in the idle state are selected and transferred into the designated area 210, so that at least one application component on the autopilot system 100, which is also located in the designated area 210, can be unloaded, clamped and removed for storage on the conveyor, as indicated by arrow 404. When unloading the loaded at least one application component from the autopilot vehicle, an unlocking mechanism disposed on the application component or on the autopilot vehicle may effect unlocking of the locked autopilot vehicle and the at least one application component. The conveyor belt is then run to take the unloaded application component away from the designated area 210, as indicated by arrow 405.
