Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a control method for an aircraft according to a first embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
step S11, obtaining a target height according to the target height instruction;
step S12, detecting the current height of the aircraft;
step S13, comparing the height difference between the current height and the target height with the preset threshold value;
and step S14, if the height difference is smaller than a preset threshold value, outputting in-position reminding response information.
Specifically, in step S11, the target altitude command may be sent by the control terminal, and may be a target altitude command in a mission command executed by the aircraft, or a target altitude command in any default predetermined program preset in the aircraft. When the control terminal sends out a target altitude instruction, the aircraft can detect whether the target altitude instruction sent out by the control terminal is received.
The control terminal can be a remote controller, a tablet computer, a mobile phone, an aircraft base station and the like. Triggering the target height instruction can control a remote controller to send out the target height instruction through an entity switch of the control terminal. Of course, the target height instruction may also be sent by controlling a virtual switch of the control terminal, for example, by controlling the remote controller to send the target height instruction through an operation interface of the touch control terminal.
Specifically, the touch control method of the control terminal is realized by detecting a contact operation on a touch screen of the control terminal. And if the detected contact operation is a sliding contact operation or an altitude input operation in a preset image area, detecting whether the sliding contact operation is an altitude trigger operation on the aircraft, and if so, generating a target altitude instruction to realize control on the flying altitude of the aircraft. Further, the preset image area may be a human-computer interaction interface, the image area includes an area for indicating a glide path, and a sliding interactive icon that is dynamically movable in the area of the glide path to indicate a target height.
In step S12, the current altitude of the aircraft may be obtained by an altitude detection module in the aircraft. Specifically, the current altitude of the aircraft may be detected by an altitude sensing device of the aircraft. The height sensing device may be an absolute height sensor, such as a barometer, a GPS, etc., or a relative height sensor, such as an ultrasonic sensor, a binocular image sensor, a laser distance sensor, etc., which may be selected as desired.
In step S13, a height difference between the current height and the target height may be obtained by the information processing module, and the height difference is compared with a preset threshold. The preset threshold is the maximum difference between the actual flying altitude of the aircraft and the required target altitude. It will be appreciated that due to the presence of measurement errors and the influence of the environment, such as airflow, the aircraft may experience small excursions in the air even when hovering, and the actual flying height reached by the aircraft may have errors from the target height. Therefore, whether the aircraft reaches the target height can be judged by setting the preset threshold value, and when the difference value between the actual flying height and the target height is within the preset threshold value range, the aircraft can be considered to reach the preset height. In this embodiment, the preset threshold may be equal to or less than 0.1 meter, that is, when the actual flying height of the aircraft is within 0.1 meter of the target height, the aircraft may be considered to be at the target height. It can be understood that the preset threshold may also be less than or equal to 0.05 m, and may be preset according to actual needs.
Further, when the difference value between the current altitude and the target altitude of the aircraft is greater than the preset threshold value, the aircraft can execute a corresponding action instruction to correct the flight altitude. The corresponding action command can be used for changing the flying height of the aircraft, and comprises a deceleration action command for reducing the height of the aircraft, an acceleration action command for increasing the flying height of the aircraft and an acceleration action command for pulling up the height of the aircraft. The aircraft can modify the flying height of the aircraft through the height modification module, for example, by changing the working state of a power device such as a propeller and the like, so as to realize the change of the flying height.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in detail, the step S13 further includes:
step S13a, when the current altitude is larger than the target altitude, executing a deceleration action instruction to reduce the altitude of the aircraft until the altitude difference value is smaller than a preset threshold value;
and step S13b, when the current altitude is smaller than the target altitude, executing an acceleration action instruction to pull up the altitude of the aircraft until the altitude difference value is smaller than a preset threshold value.
In step S13a, the aircraft may control an altitude correction device in the aircraft via the altitude reduction module to reduce the altitude of the aircraft. In particular embodiments, the aircraft height may be reduced by reducing the rotational speed of a power plant, such as a propeller, to bring the aircraft closer to the target height.
Similarly, in step S13b, the aircraft may control an altitude correction device in the aircraft via the altitude raising module to raise the flying altitude of the aircraft. In a particular embodiment, the aircraft height may be pulled up by increasing the rotational speed of the propeller to bring the aircraft closer to the target height.
In step S14, when the flying height of the aircraft is smaller than the preset threshold, it may also be understood that, when the flying height of the aircraft has reached the target height, the aircraft sends a positioning reminding response message to the control terminal to remind the user that the aircraft has reached the target height.
The in-place reminding response message can be sent to the control terminal through a wireless link, and specifically, the in-place reminding response message can be sent to an in-place reminding device of the control terminal through a response message sending module and used for indicating the control terminal to output an in-place reminding signal to remind a user. The in-position reminding device can emit light, images, sounds, vibrations and other modes to remind a user. The in-position reminding device can be an LED, a display screen, a loudspeaker, a vibrator and the like, and can be integrated in the control terminal, so that the user can be informed that the aircraft is in position at the first time. When the user hears, sees, or feels the alert, further control of the aircraft may be exercised or no action may be taken. Further, the in-position reminding device can remind the user in multiple modes at the same time so as to adapt to different situations.
Further, in another embodiment, the alert that the aircraft is in place may be issued directly by the aircraft to notify the user. That is, the aircraft may send the in-position reminder through its own in-position reminder device. Specifically, the aircraft can directly inform the user that the aircraft has reached the target height through light, image, sound and vibration. For example, the vehicle may notify the user that the vehicle is in place via an LED, display screen, speaker, vibrator, etc.
Further, in another embodiment, the alert that the aircraft is in place can be notified to the user through the aircraft and the control terminal at the same time, so as to further ensure that the user can know that the aircraft is in place for the next operation.
Further, in another embodiment, the aircraft further detects whether a task execution instruction is received before the aircraft receives a target altitude instruction. The task execution instruction can be received by a signal receiving device, such as a wifi antenna, a bluetooth antenna, a WiMAX antenna, a COFDM antenna, and the like, and can be selected according to the requirement. After receiving the task execution instruction, the aircraft executes corresponding tasks according to the task execution instruction, such as a delivery process, a landing process, an automatic photographing process, a flying dance and the like. The various processes can be stored in the control terminal or the aircraft in a preset flight mode in advance, and the aircraft can execute corresponding tasks according to default operation processes and default operation instructions in the preset flight mode. Specifically, the aircraft further detects a default preset altitude instruction for controlling the altitude of the aircraft in the preset flight mode, so as to control the aircraft to execute a corresponding task according to the default preset altitude.
Referring to fig. 5, before the aircraft receives the target altitude command sent by the control terminal, the method further includes:
step S10a, detecting whether a task execution instruction sent by a control terminal is received, wherein the task execution instruction is used for indicating the aircraft to fly to a default preset height;
step S10b, if yes, further detecting whether a target height instruction sent by the control terminal is received within a preset time length;
and if the target altitude instruction sent by the control terminal is not received within the preset time length, marking the default preset altitude as the target altitude so as to indicate the aircraft to fly to the default preset altitude.
In step S10a, before the aircraft receives the target altitude, the aircraft further detects whether a task execution instruction sent by the control end to execute a predetermined task is received. The task execution instructions are used for controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to execute a predetermined task, such as transporting goods, and the task execution instructions can instruct the aircraft to fly to a default predetermined height preset in the predetermined task.
In step S10b, if the aircraft receives a task execution instruction for executing a predetermined task sent by the control end, the unmanned aerial vehicle may be in a waiting state, wait for a preset duration, and simultaneously monitor whether a target altitude instruction is received; or detecting the flight altitude of the current aircraft according to a received default preset altitude instruction, and waiting for a preset time length; or firstly flying to a default preset height according to a received default preset height instruction, and waiting for a preset time length; or executing part of the task execution instructions first and waiting for a preset time length. Specifically, after the aircraft receives the task execution instruction, the aircraft can enter the waiting state in different modes according to different tasks to be executed.
If the aircraft does not receive the target altitude instruction within the preset time length, for example, the position of the aircraft exceeds the remote control distance of the control terminal, the default preset altitude can be used as the final target altitude, and then the difference value between the current altitude and the default preset altitude of the aircraft and the size of the preset threshold value are obtained. If the current height of the aircraft reaches a default preset height, sending an in-position prompt; and if the distance between the current altitude of the aircraft and the default preset altitude is larger than the preset threshold value, the aircraft can be driven to fly to the default preset altitude, and then the in-position reminding is sent.
On the other hand, if the aircraft receives the target altitude instruction within the preset time length, the aircraft sends the in-position reminding information to the control terminal by detecting the current altitude of the aircraft and comparing the current altitude with the target altitude. The target height instruction may be used to modify a default preset height to better suit the actual situation. For example, if the aircraft has an obstacle when reaching the default preset altitude, the control terminal may send a target altitude instruction to the aircraft to modify the altitude of the aircraft to avoid the obstacle.
Further, after the aircraft sends the in-position reminding information to the control terminal, the aircraft also comprises a task instruction for receiving the in-position reminding response information responded by the control terminal. Specifically, after the aircraft flies to the target height, the aircraft may be in a hover waiting state to wait for receiving a new task instruction sent by the control terminal or receiving a user to directly operate the aircraft, such as suspending an article below the aircraft, performing a landing, taking a picture, and performing a flying dance.
It is understood that, after the aircraft reaches the target altitude, if the aircraft does not receive any mission command, the aircraft may also choose to continue to perform default operations, such as automatic return voyage, and the like, which is not limited herein.
Referring to fig. 6, a control method for an aircraft according to a second embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
step S21, sending a target altitude instruction to the aircraft;
step S22, receiving in-position reminding response information of the aircraft responding to the target height instruction, wherein the in-position reminding response information is used for indicating that the aircraft reaches the target height; and
and step S23, outputting an in-position reminding signal according to the received in-position reminding response message.
In step S21, the target altitude command may be transmitted to the aircraft through the signal transmitting device of the control terminal.
In step S22, after the aircraft flies to the target altitude, the control terminal may receive the in-position reminding response message sent by the aircraft through the signal receiving device.
In step S23, the control terminal may remind the user by lighting, image, sound, vibration, etc., for example, by means of an LED, a display screen, a speaker, a vibrator, etc.
Further, before the control terminal sends the target height instruction, the control terminal further includes:
detecting whether a task execution control signal input by a user is received; and if the task execution control signal input by the user is received, the control terminal sends a corresponding task execution instruction to the aircraft to instruct the aircraft to execute corresponding operation.

The altitude detection module 102 may be configured to detect a current flight altitude of the aircraft after receiving the target altitude instruction, and send the detected current altitude to the data processing module 103.
After receiving the height detected by the height detection module 103 but before, the data processing module 103 calculates the current height and the target height to obtain a height difference, and then compares the height difference with a preset threshold to obtain a comparison result. When the data processing module 103 determines that the height difference is smaller than the preset threshold, the information sending instruction may be sent to the response information sending module 104.
When the data processing module 103 determines that the altitude difference is smaller than the preset threshold, the aircraft may be controlled to fly to the target altitude, and then send a message sending instruction to the response message sending module 104 after the altitude difference is smaller than the preset threshold.
The response message sending module 104 sends the in-position reminding response message after receiving the message sending instruction. Specifically, the response message sending module 104 may send the position reminding response message to the control terminal to remind the user.
Further, the control device 100 of the aircraft further includes an altitude correction module 105, which is configured to adjust the flying altitude of the aircraft when the flying altitude of the aircraft is far from the target altitude. Specifically, the height correction module 105 may include: a height lowering module 105a and a height pulling up module 105 b. The altitude reduction module 105a may be configured to execute a deceleration action command to reduce the altitude of the aircraft when the current altitude is greater than the target altitude until the altitude difference is less than a preset threshold. Specifically, the aircraft can reduce the flying height of the aircraft by reducing the rotating speed of a rotor wing in the aircraft; the altitude raising module 105b may be configured to execute the acceleration action instruction to raise the altitude of the aircraft when the current altitude is smaller than the target altitude until the altitude difference is smaller than the preset threshold.

Further, referring to fig. 8, the control device 100 of the aircraft further includes a task instruction detection module 106, configured to receive a task instruction sent by the control terminal, where the task instruction detection module 106 may be one of a wifi module, a bluetooth module, a WiMax module, and a COFDM module.

and the in-position reminding device 1004 is used for sending in-position reminding response information when the height difference value is smaller than a preset threshold value.
After the signal receiving device 1001 receives the target altitude instruction, the altitude sensing device 1002 may simultaneously transmit the detected current altitude of the aircraft to the data processing device 1003; the data processing device 1003 calculates a difference between the current altitude of the aircraft and the target altitude in the received target altitude instruction to obtain an altitude difference between the current altitude of the aircraft and the target altitude, and compares the altitude difference with a preset threshold to obtain a corresponding comparison result. When the height difference is smaller than the preset threshold, an in-position reminding sending instruction is sent to the in-position reminding device 1004.

When the aircraft 1000 reaches the default predetermined height, the in-position reminding device 1004 may send in-position reminding response information to the control terminal.
