Description

Drone for spraying pesticides

The present invention relates to a pesticide spraying drone that has a structure in which a pesticide container and a battery can be easily replaced, and can use a general water bottle and a water bottle used in the market as a pesticide container.

Drones were initially developed for military use, but are most often used for shooting in broadcasting due to their convenience of transport and storage and ease of operation. In addition, in recent years, many studies have been conducted on drones for disaster monitoring, logistics transport, forest fire extinguishing, or pesticide spraying.

In the case of a pesticide spraying drone, a device that can spray up to 10 kg of pesticides has been recently developed, and it is known that it can spray pesticides on an area of up to 10 acres (about 40,000 square meters) per hour. This is a drone that can do the work that 60 people would do alone, and achieves 40 to 60 times more efficiency than the manpower. Due to such high efficiency, the demand for spraying pesticides using drones is gradually increasing.

However, since drones are usually in the shape of a helicopter, stability and operation are not easy, and there is a great risk of a fall accident.

As an example, in the past, stability and durability were lowered because pesticide barrels and batteries were hung at the bottom of the driving unit of the drone. The unit price is inevitably high because it is necessary to have a pesticide container made of

In addition, in addition to hanging and fixing these pesticide barrels, the battery had to be installed, so it was necessary to secure an installation space where the battery could be installed in the shape of the pesticide barrel itself, so the capacity of the pesticide barrel was reduced, and the configuration and shape were complicated. and difficulty in fixing.

Accordingly, the development of a drone for spraying pesticides that can solve these problems is urgently emerging.
