Specific embodiment
Embodiment one
It is as shown in Figure 1 the flow chart of the sailing boat autonomous control method that present pre-ferred embodiments are provided.The method includes Following steps:
S1, at least one way point is set in navigation path.Wherein, last way point is the navigation end of sailing boat Point.
Specifically, by system or the user of service of unmanned sailing boat, determine in the range of air route several way points and according to Secondary numbering, sets gradually way point M1, way point M2 ... way point Mn, wherein, way point M1 is first way point, way point Mn is last way point, as navigation terminal point.The position of way point is described by longitude and latitude value.
S2, target waypoint determine step:The sail information of sailing boat is obtained, next way point of sailing boat position is set It is set to target waypoint.
Specifically, start to be set to current target point from first way point;Sailing boat once reaches current target point, then arrange Next way point is current target point, until last way point.When sailing boat departs, way point M1 is set to into target boat Waypoint;Then, when sail navigation is to way point M1, target waypoint is replaced by into way point M2;According to this by follow-up air route Point is set gradually as target waypoint, until way point Mn is set to into target waypoint.
S3, desired course determine step:It is true according to the direction of the relative bearing and true wind of sailing boat and target waypoint Fixed desired course vector.
First, course district is divided centered on sailing boat, the relative bearing of target waypoint and sailing boat is calculated, and according to relative Orientation determines the course district residing for target waypoint.In this step:
The division of a, course district:According to wind direction information, 360 degree of directions centered on sailing boat are divided at least include it is suitable Wind area, upwind unnavigable district, the course district of sidewind district.In the present embodiment, four courses will be divided into centered on sailing boat Area, specially upwind unnavigable district I, right sidewind district II, left sidewind district III, downwind district IV.Wherein, upwind unnavigable district I It is the angular regions of each 45 degree of positive contrary wind left and right, sailing boat cannot be navigated by water in the region.Downwind district IV is for just with the wind left and right is each 30 degree Angular regions;In view of efficiency of navigation is relatively low in downwind district IV and less stable, downwind district IV is regarded in the present invention The angular regions that work should not be navigated by water.Two pieces of angular regions between upwind unnavigable district I and downwind district IV are respectively right sides Wind area II and left sidewind district III;Sailing boat windward when, right side ship side institute to for right sidewind district II, left side ship side to for left side wind Area III;Right sidewind district II and left sidewind district III are navigable angular regions;Sailing boat will be in right sidewind district II and left sidewind district Navigation in two angular regions of III, is close to and reaches current target point.
B, the relative bearing for calculating current target point and sailing boat, and the boat according to residing for relative bearing determines current target point To area.By current target point and the relative position relation of sailing boat, relative bearing of the current target point relative to sailing boat is calculated, by Relative bearing determines the course district residing for current target point.Because circumferential 360 degree of sailing boat has been divided into four course districts, when The relative bearing of front impact point is necessarily included by the angular range of a certain course district, then it is assumed that current target point belongs to the course Area.
C, the course district according to residing for current target point obtain desired course vector, the current course of com-parison and analysis sailing boat With desired course vector, the controlled quentity controlled variable to rudder is obtained.
Wherein, desired course vector is obtained specifically:
When current target point belongs to right sidewind district II or left sidewind district III, current mesh is pointed to by the current location of sailing boat The unit vector of punctuate is desired course vector.That is, current target point belongs to right sidewind district II or left sidewind district During III, sailing boat can be navigated by water directly towards the direction of current target point.
When current target point is in upwind unnavigable district I, in order to avoid this angular regions, sailing boat is needed to realize tacking Traveling, with " Z " font navigation path current target point is reached.In upwind unnavigable district I and the boundary angle of right sidewind district II Place setting right side patch wind direction amount VII_I, pastes on the left of setting at the boundary angle of upwind unnavigable district I and left sidewind district III Wind direction amount VIII_I, wherein right side patch wind direction amount VII_I and left side patch wind direction amount VIII_I are all unit vector.In order to realize sail Tacking for ship, needs alternately right side to be pasted into wind direction amount VII_I and left side patch wind direction amount VIII_I is set as desired course Vector.When current target point is in downwind district IV, in order to improve efficiency of navigation and stability, sailing boat is needed to avoid downwind district boat OK, current target point is reached with " Z " font navigation path.On the right side of setting at the boundary angle of downwind district Ι V and right sidewind district II Downwind vector VII_IV, downwind vector VIII_IV on the left of setting at the boundary angle of downwind district Ι V and left sidewind district III, its Middle right side downwind vector VII_IV and left side downwind vector VIII_IV are all unit vector.Alternately by right side downwind vector VII_IV and left side downwind vector VIII_IV are set as desired course vector, during realizing that current target point is in downwind district IV " Z " font navigation.
The current course of com-parison and analysis sailing boat and desired course vector, and the controlled quentity controlled variable to rudder is obtained as follows:
The deflection of rudder can control the actual heading of sailing boat, by control rudder angle reach the actual heading of sailing boat or with Track desired course.If it is desire to course is on the right side of actual heading, then rudder angle is deflected to the right;If it is desire to course is in actual heading Left side, then rudder angle deflect to the left.
Finally, the course district according to residing for target waypoint obtains desired course vector.
S4, rate-determining steps:The sail state of sailing boat is controlled according to relative wind direction information;According to the current course of sailing boat and phase The course vector of prestige, controls the rudder angle of sailing boat to reach or track desired course.
S5, judge step:Judge whether sailing boat reaches target waypoint;If not reaching, return desired course and determine step Suddenly;If reaching, determine whether whether target waypoint is navigation terminal point;If it is not, then it is true to return target waypoint Determine step;If it is, terminating flow process.
In above-mentioned judgement step, judge whether the target waypoint for reaching every time is last way point, if so, then Judge to reach above-mentioned navigation terminal point.As above described in example, during sail navigation, wherein any one way point can be set to Navigation terminal point, or, when sailing boat needs to navigate by water over long distances, in order to meet the demands such as sailing boat maintenance, task process, in above-mentioned boat Multiple navigation holding points are chosen in waypoint, therefore, according to the demand, the present embodiment can adaptively by one or more Mn (n For arbitrary value) way point is set to navigate by water holding point or navigation terminal point.
The beneficial effect of the present embodiment is, during the autonomous navigation of sailing boat, by the division to course district, expects The calculating of course vector, there is provided the control method of the sailing boat autonomous navigation of a set of globality, systematically realizes sailing boat navigation path Automatically generate, the automatically controlling of sail state, the automatic control function of rudder angle.See on the whole, on the one hand, improve sailing boat The controllability and accuracy of autonomous control, on the other hand, flight course planning adaptivity is higher.
Embodiment two
On the basis of above-described embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 the step of S201, obtained by the built-in global positioning module of sailing boat Take the longitude information and latitude information of sailing boat, meanwhile, according to above-mentioned longitude information and above-mentioned latitude information calculate sailing boat with it is above-mentioned The distance between target waypoint, when above-mentioned distance is less than predetermined threshold value, then confirms that sailing boat reaches above-mentioned target waypoint.
For example, above-mentioned threshold value is set to into 200 meters, is obtained in real time by global positioning module and (be can be understood as by pre- If the cycle obtains) longitude information of sailing boat and latitude information, sailing boat current location is calculated, meanwhile, adjust in the pre-stored data of backstage The position at current goal way point place is taken, both are compared in same referential, judge reality between the two Whether border distance is less than 200 meters, if being less than 200 meters, then it is assumed that reached above-mentioned target waypoint.
Further, when the target waypoint for reaching is navigation terminal point, if the setting of above-mentioned threshold value is in larger distance, together When, when judgement obtains above-mentioned actual pitch between the two farther out, then need further to be accurately positioned, navigation is allowed to standard True navigation terminal point.
The beneficial effect of the present embodiment is to be positioned by global pick device, and positioning result is pre- with backstage Deposit data is compared analysis, judges whether sailing boat has reached above-mentioned target waypoint according to comparative analysis result.Manipulation instruction Succinctly, clearly, the accuracy of data results is high.
Further, from existing navigation general knowledge, during sail navigation, when the lateral drift amount of sailing boat is more than During certain value, the sail information for obtaining sailing boat using global positioning module is more accurate.But, when the lateral drift amount of sailing boat it is little When certain value, due to lateral drift amount it is less, now, the sail information and not accurate enough obtained by global positioning module.
Therefore, if in the case of the lateral drift amount of sailing boat is less, if still obtaining sailing boat using global positioning module Sail information, the then sail information for being likely to result in sailing boat obtains not accurate enough defect.
The present embodiment is to preset a sailing boat lateral drift value for the settling mode that the problems referred to above are proposed.When sailing boat When lateral drift amount is more than the default lateral shift value, the sail information of sailing boat is obtained using above-mentioned global positioning module, When sailing boat lateral drift amount is less than the default lateral shift value, obtain above-mentioned by the built-in inertia measuring module of sailing boat Sail information.
It is appreciated that the beneficial effect of the present embodiment is, by global positioning module in combination with inertia measuring module Mode obtain sail information, it is to avoid when long-time is using inertia measuring module, the accumulated error brought is larger to be lacked Fall into.
Further, as shown in Figure 2 the step of S202, by above-mentioned inertia measuring module by predetermined period obtain sailing boat ship The angle of pitch numerical value and roll angle numerical value of body.
Inertia measuring module is appreciated that the sensor for including measurement of correlation function, by related sensor by pre- If the angle of pitch numerical value and roll angle numerical value of cycle (for example, sensing once for each second) sensing sailing boat hull.
From existing navigation general knowledge, when the angle of pitch numerical value of sailing boat hull is more than certain value, sailing boat has what is tumbled Danger, on the other hand, when the roll angle numerical value of sailing boat hull is more than certain value, sailing boat also has the danger tumbled.
Therefore, the technical scheme that the present embodiment solution above-mentioned technical problem is adopted is, during the navigation of sailing boat, pin First preset danger value is arranged to the angle of pitch of sailing boat hull, and the roll angle for sailing boat hull arranges the second default danger Value.
During sail navigation, the angle of pitch numerical value and roll angle numerical value of sailing boat hull is periodically sensed.Work as sail When the angle of pitch numerical value of ship hull exceedes above-mentioned first preset danger value, then assert that sailing boat is in rollover conditions;Work as sailing boat hull Roll angle numerical value exceed above-mentioned second preset danger value, then assert sailing boat be in rollover conditions.
Further, if Jing judges to show that sailing boat, in rollover conditions, sends an SOS, and navigation is terminated.
The beneficial effect of the present embodiment is, during sailing boat autonomous navigation, the parameter of sailing boat hull is obtained in real time, And judge whether hull tumbles according to parameter, in order to tumble or during critical rollover conditions in hull, can send in time Distress signal or early warning signal.
Further, as shown in Figure 2 the step of S206, during sailing boat autonomous navigation, according to above-mentioned roll angle number Value calculates the open area of sail.
Specific embodiment is as described below:
First, one end of sail is sleeved on mast, the other end is then pulled by sail rope;
Situation one:Sail can completely on mast, and now sail does not receive wind action;
Situation two:Sail can open completely, and the sail area of now wind-engaging effect is maximum;
Situation three:Can also allow sail portions on mast and partly open, now sail portions area is subject to wind Effect.
Then, the wind area of sail is adjusted according to result of calculation.It is appreciated that in identical wind speed, wind direction, adjusting angle When, the size of sail wind area determines that sailing boat obtains the roll power that the size and sailing boat of the propulsive force of wind is subject to wind The size of square, i.e. sail wind area is bigger, the propulsive force that sailing boat obtains wind is bigger, meanwhile, sailing boat is subject to the rolling moment of wind Also it is bigger.Wherein, rolling moment determines the roll angle of sailing boat, i.e. rolling moment is bigger, and the roll angle of sailing boat is bigger.
(during the safe range can be above-described embodiment, by second danger is preset in safe range in sailing boat roll angle The danger safe range that limited of value, i.e. what the roll angle numerical value of sailing boat was less than the second preset danger value can span), sail Open area it is larger when, it is possible to obtain larger propulsive force, but be unlikely to so that the danger tumbled of sailing boat.
In the scenario above, the sail size during sailing boat autonomous navigation is adjusted as follows:
For example, the size of sail represents that the mathematic(al) representation of sail size Control can be expressed as with S_sail:
S_sail=f (| ∠ Roll |) ∈ [0,1] S_full
Wherein ∠ Roll be sailing boat roll angle, and ∠ Roll ∈ [﹣ R_max, R_max], R_max be sailing boat normal/cruise when The maximum safe roll angle of permission, it will be understood that maximum safe roll angle described herein refers to critical in above-described embodiment The second preset danger value, or, the maximum safe roll allowed when the second preset danger value is defined as into sailing boat normal/cruise Angle value.
In above-mentioned expression formula, S_full is maximum sail area when sail is fully open;F () is monotonous descending function, When sailing boat roll angle is larger, sail open area is less, and sailing boat roll angle it is less when, sail open area is larger.
The beneficial effect of the present embodiment is, during sailing boat autonomous navigation, by adjusting sail and sail Wind area, so that sailing boat obtains larger propulsive force.Meanwhile, sailing boat is calculated and adjusted by above-mentioned mathematic(al) representation certainly Sail size during main navigation, so that sailing boat is during autonomous navigation, it is ensured that while safe navigation, obtains most Excellent sail open area, realizes the control accurate to sail open area.
Further, as shown in Figure 2 the step of S207, step S208, step S209 and step S210, above-mentioned steps S207-S210 is directed to the dividing mode of course district during sailing boat autonomous navigation, it is proposed that technical scheme below:
A. course district is divided according to the wind direction information of above-mentioned true wind.
B. according to current goal way point and the relative position relation of sailing boat, current goal way point is calculated relative to sailing boat Relative bearing.
C. the course district according to residing for above-mentioned relative bearing determines current goal way point.
Specific embodiment is as described below:
360 degree of directions of circumference centered on sailing boat are divided into four course districts by the true wind direction according to obtained by calculating, It is respectively upwind unnavigable district I, right sidewind district II, left sidewind district III, downwind district IV.
Wherein, upwind unnavigable district I is the angular regions of each 45 degree of positive contrary wind left and right, and sailing boat is without Air France in the region OK.
Downwind district IV is just angular regions of each 30 degree of left and right with the wind.
In view of efficiency of navigation is relatively low in downwind district IV and less stable, downwind district IV is considered in the present invention not The angular regions preferably navigated by water.
Two pieces of angular regions between upwind unnavigable district I and downwind district IV are respectively right sidewind district II and left side wind Area III.
Wherein, when sailing boat windward when, right side ship side institute to for right sidewind district II, left side ship side to for left sidewind district III.
Right sidewind district II and left sidewind district III are navigable angular regions.
Sailing boat will be navigated by water in two angular regions of right sidewind district II and left sidewind district III, be close to and reach current goal Point.
Further, as shown in Figure 2 the step of S210, as follows determine current target point residing for course district:
By current target point and the relative position relation of sailing boat, relative bearing of the current target point relative to sailing boat is calculated ∠TB, the course district by residing for relative bearing determines current target point.Meanwhile, refer to the vector correlation schematic diagram of Fig. 8 wind.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, if (∠ TB﹣ ∠ WS) [0, π/4) ∪ (7 π/4,2 π), then impact point is in windward for ∈ Unnavigability area I, is expressed as T ∈ I;
If (∠ TB﹣ ∠ WS) ∈ [π/4,5 π/6], then impact point be in right sidewind district II, be expressed as T ∈ II;
If (∠ TB﹣ ∠ WS) ∈ [7 π/6,7 π/4], then impact point be in left sidewind district III, be expressed as T ∈ III;
If (∠ TB﹣ ∠ WS) ∈ (5 π/6,7 π/6), then impact point is in downwind district IV, is expressed as T ∈ IV;Because sailing boat Circumferential 360 degree have been divided into four course districts, and the relative bearing of current target point is inevitable by the angle model of a certain course district Enclose and include, then it is assumed that current target point belongs to the course district.
The beneficial effect of the present embodiment is to be worked as relative to the relative bearing determination of sailing boat by calculating current target point Course district residing for front impact point, realizes the accurate division during sailing boat autonomous navigation, to course district.
Further, as shown in Figure 2 the step of S211, step S212 and step S213, above-mentioned steps S211-S213 pin During for sailing boat autonomous navigation, it is determined that expecting navigation vector, above-mentioned expectation navigation vector, and regulation and control sail adjustment are tracked The specific embodiment at angle, it is proposed that technical scheme below:
A, according to above-mentioned course district and current goal way point desired course vector is determined.
B, by controlling rudder angle so that the actual heading of sailing boat reaches or track above-mentioned desired course.
