The most common and large-scale application field of electro-optical pods is in UAV monitoring and detection systems, which are used in consumer civil, industrial and military police scenarios, such as aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, mini self-shooting, express delivery, disaster relief, wildlife observation, infectious disease monitoring, surveying and mapping, news reporting, power inspection, disaster rescue, film and television shooting, etc. At least one conductive slip ring is equipped in each pod to enable its flexible 360° unrestricted rotation in horizontal or vertical directions for target acquisition, signal transmission, information collection and other operations.
With the continuous development of UAV technology, electro-optical pod technology and market application demands, UAVs are evolving towards the direction of three-dimensional space operation, real-time intelligence information transmission, diversified functions and all-weather application. They are not only required to be small in size and light in weight, but also an increasing number of UAVs now demand the cooperation of multiple functional modules to complete designated tasks in accordance with instructions. Therefore, UAVs must support the fusion of multiple data types and simultaneous transmission of multiple signals, including electrical, optical, video, image, radio frequency, analog or digital signals, and Ethernet. The transmission performance is required to feature high power, large capacity, high frequency, high definition, high speed and high stability.
To simplify the complex structures and operation processes required for functional diversification, some high-end UAVs adopt the combination of multiple types of micro conductive slip rings—such as the integration of fiber optic slip rings and conductive slip rings, encoders and conductive slip rings, high-frequency slip rings and conductive slip rings, as well as waveguide slip rings and conductive slip rings—to simplify and optimize the UAV structure. This makes the operation of UAV flight control systems, execution and feedback systems more intelligent with better and higher operational performance.
The micro conductive slip ring series for UAVs produced by Huasheng Electric through automated manufacturing processes has a minimum overall dimension of only 6.5mm and an IP58 waterproof rating. It supports the simultaneous transmission of multiple groups of control current, digital and analog signals, fully meeting the application requirements of combined multi-functional modules of UAVs
