Recently, a huge earthquake occurred in Türkiye, causing huge losses. Professional rescue teams from many countries participated in the rescue work. At the rescue site, the rescue team brought a large amount of professional equipment, including multiple professional-grade drones. These drones are usually equipped with professional optical search and rescue units integrated on coaxial motors, with corresponding slip rings inside. These slip rings not only provide power for the coaxial motors, but also integrate SDI, infrared and other video signal channels.
JINPAT is an experienced manufacturer in the field of international UAV slip rings. It has developed hundreds of special slip rings for UAV photoelectric towers and numerous civilian multi-rotor UAVs. The UAV unveiled at the Turkish disaster relief site this time It is a multi-rotor slip ring. The rotor drone is equipped with a lighting module that can illuminate an area of 8,000 square meters. Usually many tethered drones integrate slip rings inside the tethered unit, and the position of the drone can be adjusted through the control system inside the tethered unit. Effectively reduce the weight of the drone and reduce power consumption.
Professional-grade multi-rotor drones can be modified into disaster relief lighting drones without adding a control system to the linkage system, because the fuselage is already equipped with sufficient communication modules and sensors. During modification, only the photoelectric sensors and gimbal need to be replaced. It is coaxial with the lighting unit and is very convenient for operators to use directly. If the glider is integrated into the lighting module, the modified drone will have higher maneuverability and flexibility, and can meet the needs of disaster relief work through the drone's automatic operation mode.
If a slip ring is not installed, in conditions such as strong winds, the operator may need to adjust the position of the drone to alleviate problems such as tightness and tangles in the binding wire.
In summary, whether it is necessary to convert a professional drone into a lighting drone still needs to be considered. However, after adding a slip ring, unmanned operation can be achieved to avoid wasting human resources.
If necessary, it is recommended to consider using JINPAT LPC-0315, which has a transmission power of at least 360W at 24VAC voltage. If the link station uses 48V AC power supply, the transmission power can be doubled. It should be noted that in specific environments such as earthquake disaster areas, the slip ring needs to be upgraded to a higher protection level to ensure its normal operation.
