A network is provided for recharging aerial drones during extended flight operations, without requiring a return to a centralized recharging station. Instead, autonomous recharging stations are provided which are self-sustained by using electricity from renewable energy sources located at the station. Operationally, a cone-shaped receptacle is mounted on the drone, and a cone-shaped probe is provided at the recharging station. The probe is connected with the renewable energy source. With this connection, an engagement for recharging the drone's battery is accomplished when the vertex of the probe is received through the open base of the receptacle to place an electrical connector on the probe in contact with the battery of the drone.

    提供了一种网络,用于在扩展飞行操作期间为空中无人机充电,而无需返回到集中式充电站。此外,提供了自主充电站,其通过使用位于站上的可再生能源的电力实现自给自足。在操作上,将锥形插座安装在无人机上,并在充电站处设置锥形探针。探针与可再生能源连接。通过该连接,当通过插座的开放基座接纳探针的顶点以将探针上的电连接器放置成与无人机的电池接触时,实现用于对无人机的电池进行充电的接合。
