Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to specific embodiments thereof with reference to the attached drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, the self-adaptive foot stool of the unmanned aerial vehicle comprises a non-flexible support rod 2, a flexible antenna 3 and an attitude sensor 4; the upper end of the flexible antenna 3 is connected with the non-flexible supporting rod 2, and the attitude sensor 4 is connected with the tail end of the flexible antenna 3. The flexible antenna 3 is connected with a plurality of suckers 3-1, the suckers 3-1 are distributed along the length direction of the flexible antenna 3, and the suckers 3-1 are distributed on the whole flexible antenna 3.
The flexible antenna 3 is strip-shaped and can be made of softer colloid materials.
The inflexible bracing piece 2 is installed on unmanned aerial vehicle main part 1. One flexible antenna 3 corresponds to one inflexible supporting rod 2, and there are four inflexible supporting rods 2 in total (as shown in fig. 2, the four inflexible supporting rods are distributed in a rectangular shape), and accordingly, the number of the flexible antennas 3 is four.
It should be noted that, the four inflexible support rods 2 may also be connected perpendicularly to the main body 1 of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and are not limited to the connection mode of the outward opening in this embodiment.
The structure of unmanned aerial vehicle main part 1 is common general knowledge, and it includes modules such as frame, driving system, cloud platform camera, remote control signal receiver, unmanned aerial vehicle flight control.
Normally, one attitude sensor 4 is provided.
As shown in fig. 4, the remote controller 6 is in wireless connection communication with the unmanned aerial vehicle flight control 1-1; the signal output end of the attitude sensor 4 is connected with the unmanned aerial vehicle flight control 1-1 through a wire, and an attitude signal detected by the attitude sensor 4 is firstly sent to the unmanned aerial vehicle flight control 1-1. The thinner the wire connected to the signal output terminal of the attitude sensor 4, the better, the wire may be routed through the flexible antenna or along the outer surface of the flexible antenna.
Under the control of the remote controller 6, the unmanned aerial vehicle main body 1, the non-flexible supporting rod 2 and the flexible antenna 3 land on the air level, the air level 5 is in an inclined state due to fluctuation of the air level, as shown in fig. 3, when the flexible antenna 3 moves downwards and just contacts the inclined air level 5, the tail end of the flexible antenna 3 bends to enable the sucker 3-1 to be sucked on the air level 5, and the attitude sensor 4 is stably fixed on the air level 5. The motion attitude of the apron 5 can be monitored in real time, and the motion attitude data is sent to the unmanned aerial vehicle flight control 1-1.
Sometimes, the wave fluctuation is large, and in order to fix the attitude sensor 4 on the apron 5 more stably, the attitude sensor is fixed on the apron more stably through an attitude calculation process of calculating the attitude of the apron based on the attitude sensor to obtain data such as an inclination angle and a speed.
As shown in fig. 5, the process of controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to land by the unmanned aerial vehicle flight control 1-1 is as follows:
step 1, acquiring the motion attitude data (inclination angle, angular velocity, acceleration and the like) of the apron sent by an attitude sensor 4 by an unmanned aerial vehicle flight control 1-1.
And 2, carrying out deep learning on the attitude data by the unmanned aerial vehicle flight control 1-1 by adopting a convolutional neural network.
And 3, predicting the motion attitude of the parking apron.
Step 4, the flight control 1-1 of the unmanned aerial vehicle adjusts the flight inclination angle of the unmanned aerial vehicle main body 1, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle main body 1 and the parking apron 5 keep the same motion attitude, and thus the unmanned aerial vehicle main body 1 and the parking apron 5 keep a parallel state, that is, the inclination angle of the parking apron 5 to the horizontal plane is the same as the inclination angle of the unmanned aerial vehicle main body 1 to the horizontal plane, as shown in fig. 6. The specific process is as follows: referring to fig. 7, the control is realized by a PID control algorithm, the inclination angle of the apron is an input control quantity, the PID control is realized by a processor for controlling the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle, a power system of the unmanned aerial vehicle is an execution mechanism, an output quantity is the inclination angle of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and an attitude sensor is a measurement element.
Unmanned aerial vehicle main part 1 is keeping under the state unanimous with the air park inclination, and the component force rightward that the screw on the unmanned aerial vehicle main part 1 produced can make unmanned aerial vehicle fly to the right, thereby the flexible antenna on the left side provides the pulling force this moment and maintains the relative position of unmanned aerial vehicle main part 1 and change in certain extent. At the in-process of whole developments descending, along with the slope about air park 5, flight about unmanned aerial vehicle main part 1 can relapse, flexible antenna provides the pulling force in order to maintain unmanned aerial vehicle at the small range flight.
Step 5, along with the landing of the unmanned aerial vehicle, more and more parts of the four flexible antennae are fixed on the parking apron 5 under the action of the suckers, the suspended parts of the flexible antennae are shorter and shorter, and the flight range of the unmanned aerial vehicle is smaller and smaller; because the unmanned aerial vehicle main part keeps parallel with the air park, four non-flexible bracing pieces 2 can contact air park 5 simultaneously, accomplish the descending, and the unmanned aerial vehicle main part is static with the air park relatively. Can install ranging module such as ultrasonic wave or light stream on inflexible bracing piece, ranging module can detect the height of inflexible bracing piece apart from the air park, and height data sends the treater in the unmanned aerial vehicle flight control through the signal line, when highly being less than 3cm, considers that the inflexible bracing piece will contact the air park soon, directly descends and makes four inflexible bracing pieces and air park contact.
And 6, after the unmanned aerial vehicle main body 1 is fixed on the parking apron, controlling a power system on the unmanned aerial vehicle main body 1 to stop working by the unmanned aerial vehicle flight control 1-1. Can detect the height of non-flexible bracing piece distance air park through range finding module, the height value of measurement compares with the altitude threshold value that unmanned aerial vehicle flight control set for, when the height value of measurement is less than the threshold value, makes driving system stop work.
For improved accuracy and reliability, four attitude sensors 4 may be provided, one mounted at the end of each flexible antenna. Two attitude sensors may be provided at each diagonal position.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the present invention, and it is apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention.
