Utilize unmanned aerial vehicle to spray the pesticide, not only can use manpower and materials sparingly, can also remote control operation, avoid spraying the danger that the operation personnel exposed in the pesticide, not only improved the security of plant protection operation, still improved the spraying efficiency of pesticide.
When unmanned aerial vehicle carries out the plant protection operation, need be through going into liquid mouth or liquid outlet installation fluidflowmeter at the water pump in order to monitor the pesticide volume of spraying, can adopt hall flowmeter usually. The Hall flowmeter measures magnetic physical quantity by utilizing Hall effect of a Hall element, and the working principle is as follows: the liquid impacts the magnetic rotor to drive the magnetic rotor to rotate, a rotating magnetic field with different magnetic poles is generated, magnetic induction lines are cut, high and low pulse level signals are generated and sent to the controller, and therefore the controller can judge the liquid flow according to the frequency of the pulse signals. Wherein the relationship between the liquid flow rate and the pulse signal frequency is q ═ k0f, q is flow, f is pulse signal frequency, k0The flow coefficient is a fixed value and is calibrated when the Hall flowmeter leaves the factory.
However, when being used for unmanned aerial vehicle to carry out the plant protection operation with this hall flowmeter, unmanned aerial vehicle's sprinkling system (water pump, shower nozzle, water pipe to and the resistance size, length and thickness of water pipe) and the pesticide kind that spouts all can exert an influence to this hall flowmeter's sensitivity and accuracy to lead to measured data inaccurate, influence the effect of plant protection operation. The common calibration method for the Hall flow meter is to send the Hall flow meter back to a laboratory to recalibrate the Hall flow meter, but the method is tedious in process and long in time consumption, and timely and effective calibration cannot be performed due to changes of influence factors such as a spraying system of the unmanned aerial vehicle or the type of sprayed medicament. Therefore, this calibration method is not suitable for calibrating the flow meter on the drone.

Example one
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a calibration coefficient determination method for an on-board unmanned aerial vehicle flow meter according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is applicable to perform calibration operations on an on-board unmanned aerial vehicle flow meter, and the method may be performed by a calibration coefficient determination apparatus for an on-board unmanned aerial vehicle flow meter according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the apparatus may be implemented in software and/or hardware, and may be generally integrated in an unmanned aerial vehicle.
As shown in fig. 1, the method of this embodiment specifically includes:
s110, when the fact that all the materials to be sprayed carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle are sprayed is determined to be completed, the flight controller obtains the accumulated measuring flow fed back by the flow meter corresponding to the materials to be sprayed.
Wherein, what unmanned aerial vehicle indicated can be plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle for spray when carrying out the plant protection operation and wait to spray the material, wait to spray that the material specifically can be the required medicament of plant protection operation, can be liquid medicament, also can be solid medicament (for example granular medicament or powdered medicament etc.). Install the flowmeter on plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle and can treat the flow that sprays of spraying the material and measure, it is corresponding, the flowmeter can be liquid flowmeter, also can be solid flow meter to give plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle's flight control ware with its numerical value feedback that measures, flight control ware can be according to spraying subsequent operation of spraying of quantity control.
The values indicate that the calibration coefficient determination method for the flow meter on the unmanned aerial vehicle is performed in the plant protection test process before the plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle formally performs plant protection operation. In the plant protection test process, the staff loads the substances to be sprayed of known type, known volume and/or quality into the spraying box of the plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle, controls the plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle to spray in situ, and the flow meter on the plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle can measure the sprayed flow (the sprayed volume and/or the sprayed quality) in the spraying process in real time and feed back the flow to the flight controller. Meanwhile, the flight controller feeds the received sprayed flow back to the ground station or the user side in real time, so that the display interface of the ground station or the user side synchronously displays the sprayed flow fed back by the flowmeter for the user to check.
And when the flight controller determines that all the substances to be sprayed carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle are completely sprayed, the sprayed flow fed back by the flow meter at the moment is used as the accumulated measured flow.

When adopting same plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle to spray the medicament of common several kinds of different grade types, can calibrate the flowmeter respectively when plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle is idle, obtain behind each calibration coefficient that flowmeter and different medicament types correspond, correspond the storage respectively with medicament type and flowmeter calibration coefficient, for example first medicament corresponds first calibration coefficient, and the second medicament corresponds second calibration coefficient and so on. When adopting this plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle to carry out the plant protection operation, flight controller acquires and sprays the calibration coefficient that the medicament corresponds and calibrates the flow that has sprayed that the flowmeter feedback to acquire the actual flow that has sprayed.
The calibration coefficient determining method for the flowmeter on the unmanned aerial vehicle provided by the embodiment is characterized in that a spraying test is carried out before the formal plant protection operation of the unmanned aerial vehicle, so that the calibration coefficient of the flowmeter is determined by the flight controller according to the actual carrying capacity of a substance to be sprayed and the accumulated measurement flow fed back by the flowmeter in the spraying test process, and further the accumulated measurement flow fed back by the flowmeter in real time can be calibrated by the flight controller according to the calibration coefficient of the flowmeter during the formal plant protection operation of the unmanned aerial vehicle, so that the calibrated actual spraying flow is obtained, and therefore the calibration operation of the flowmeter on the unmanned aerial vehicle can be realized.
