Recently, Huawei, Meituan, and BYD industry giants have announced their latest progress in the field of drones. What is surprisingly consistent is that the progress of the three companies in the field of drones is focused on the acquisition of technology patents, adding fire to the lively drone market.
01
With continuous breakthroughs in technologies such as flight control, navigation, communication, and sensing, the software and hardware supporting facilities of all aspects of UAVs are constantly improving. Before the epidemic, experts estimated that it would take about 5-8 years for the drone to be fully deployed. However, judging from the current trend of various industry giants getting together UAVs, the market explosion may be imminent.
Why is the drone industry suddenly speeding up at this node? In addition to the increasingly mature development of the drone industry and the lower and lower thresholds mentioned above, the following two reasons are inseparable.
02
One is that the epidemic has accelerated the development of drones. Although the 2020 epidemic has had an impact on various industries, it has become a spring breeze for the development of drones after the concept of no contact and no gathering has gained popularity. The huge market for drones in the fields of remote temperature measurement, delivery of goods, and factory disinfection has been seen by everyone.
The second is that technologies such as 5G bring benefits to drones. The emergence of 5G, industrial Internet, etc. not only gave birth to new growth space for industrial drones, but also created new growth opportunities for the consumer drone market. With the official commercialization of 5G and the accelerated popularization of the industrial Internet, drones will gain more applications and show more value, and their integration with various industries will also deepen.
03
Compared with ordinary flying equipment, drones are highly intelligent, more complex in technology, and worse in working environment. For connectors that are indispensable in electronic devices, drone applications are no small challenge.
The main types of connectors used in UAVs include: micro circular connectors, micro/nano-level small rectangular connectors, small high-density optical fiber connectors, and composite lightweight connectors. Application systems include flight control systems, data link systems, power supply systems, etc.
The environment of the drone is constantly changing during the flight, such as showers, gusts, and birds, which may affect the flight. And if it fails, it cannot immediately exit the flight state, but must have a landing process. If it falls directly from the air, not only will the drone be damaged, it will also cause injuries to ground personnel. Therefore, UAV connectors must meet more stringent electrical, mechanical and environmental performance requirements.
04
It is foreseeable that in the future, the drone industry will continue to maintain a strong momentum of development and gradually change our social life. To meet the signal and power transmission needs of a series of complex systems and sensor components of drones, small connectors that are stronger, more reliable, more powerful, higher density, lower cost, and relatively durable require professional connections Assist manufacturers.
