Specific implementation mode
The present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
Include body in cuboid, position as shown in Figure 1, a kind of long battery life aircraft suitable for narrow space In internal body flight control system, be set to the PU Payload Unit of organism bottom and be connected to around body and same Six support arms of horizontal plane;Six support arms include two big support arm and four small support arms, two big support arms The opposite side before and after body, and in line, four small support arms are symmetrically disposed on body or so opposite side two-by-two, and with it is big Support arm is vertical, and each big support arm end is equipped with a lifting rotor and one and directly drives the DC brushless motor of lifting rotor, Each small support arm end is equipped with the DC brushless motor of control a rotor and a direct drive control rotor;The lifting rotor Size be more than the size of control rotor, the PU Payload Unit has undercarriage;
Aircraft body is cuboid, and combines lift rotor and small-sized control rotor, expands generation and it is expected needed for lift The useful space, to obtain long battery life and high quick performance.
In the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2, PU Payload Unit, which includes 4 1D omnidirectionals, checks video camera, shooting respectively flies The image of row device left and right sides;The design of side view video camera setting, can be with so that its state for being easily adapted to tilt flight under body The region of bigger is checked within the shorter time.
As shown in figure 3, flight control system includes flight controller, data acquisition unit, image processing unit, preposition takes the photograph Camera, the front video are installed on centre position on front side of body, and the data acquisition unit is connect with flight controller, use In acquisition aircraft altitude information, attitude data and position data, described image processing unit respectively with flight controller and Front video connects, for being handled in real time the image that front video is shot according to color and Texture Segmentation, to look into Ground, barrier and sky are looked for, to estimate aircraft relative to the relative position among narrow space.
The data acquisition unit include Inertial Measurement Unit, GPS unit, baroceptor, mounted on organism bottom Two ultrasonic height sensors.
Based on the control method of above-mentioned long battery life aircraft, the direction of rotation of two lifting rotors is on the contrary, adjacent The direction of rotation of two control rotors is on the contrary, two lifting rotors are rotated with constant speed, to keep body in-flight outstanding Stop, the relative position estimation that flight controller is generated according to image processing unit is acquired with track and in conjunction with data acquisition unit Data calculating aircraft currently and desired position, posture and speed, control four control rotors DC brushless motors turn Speed realizes flight of the aircraft in narrow space to control position of aircraft and posture.
In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, two lift rotors(L1 and L2)With four small-sized control rotors(C1, C2, C3 and C4)Around body, L1, C1, C3 are to rotate clockwise for combination, and L2, C2, C4 are counterclockwise to rotate.It is four small Type control rotor can tilt 10 °, also can be by it in aircraft to improve the yaw control of aircraft in complex environment It is moved forward and backward to cope with external interference, while needing the rigidity of aircraft sufficiently high, to reach fast and accurately posture response.
In the flight that aircraft is hovered and is advanced slowly, the lift of each rotor generationEqual to each rotor weight W,, the speed of rotor, whereinIt is edge Diametric mass flow,It is atmospheric density, DL is the ratio of rotor weight and rotor area, and R is rotor radius, institute Need power be
Two lifting rotors are reversely rotated with constant speed(L1 and L2), to keep the in-flight hovering of body, control Rotor is controlled by flight controller, can be considered the four-axle aircraft with adaptability.With the control rotation of high rotation speed rotation The wing plays the role of gyroscope in flight, and when aircraft tilts, the thrust vectoring of lifting propeller also tilts, and reduces vertical Thrust component, four control rotors for gesture stability can be by unwanted control when being combined with suitable controller Power is preferably minimized.
Control position of aircraft and posture, which rely on, quickly changes the thrust of each rotor combination to realize, mainly by changing Become rotor rotary speed to complete.Flight controller(FC)From Inertial Measurement Unit(IMU), GPS, baroceptor(It is absolutely high Degree)With two ultrasonic height sensors(For measuring the relative altitude relative to ground)Data are collected with outside narrow space Portion navigates, and IMU highly precisely estimates that posture, GPS realize rational precision(Less than one meter), determined for absolute position And offset correction, when by narrow space barrier, forward looking camera is used for offset correction, and front camera image procossing is just As two image processing units leading, that aircraft loads(IPU), mainly for the treatment of payload camera images(Often Two cameras of a IPU), it is additionally operable to processing front video image, IPU is according to color and Texture Segmentation to front video figure As executing scan picture, to search ground, barrier and sky, among estimating aircraft relative to narrow space Therefore relative position also determines track on the middle section of narrow space, and keep being directed toward suitable direction in front of aircraft, And by payload(Such as camera)Target needed for aiming at.
The ultrasonic sensors of unmanned vehicle both sides can also be increased as spare, to help to avoid obstacle wall, and it is preceding Setting camera image processing software can be extended with object detection algorithms, to avoid that may extend to the track of narrow space Branch.
What has been described above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to embodiment of above.It is appreciated that Those skilled in the art do not depart from the present invention design and under the premise of the oher improvements and changes that directly export or associate, It is considered as being included within protection scope of the present invention.
