Referring to fig. 1 to 14 together, the method for controlling the drone according to the embodiment of the present application is applied to the drone 100 according to the embodiment of the present application. Wherein, unmanned aerial vehicle 100 is used for carrying on box 20 and carries out the operation. The drone 100 includes a body 10. The body 10 is mounted with an information collector 11. The case 20 is provided with a case identification 21 that can be acquired by the information collector 11. The control method of the unmanned aerial vehicle comprises the following steps:
step S1, determining whether the information collector 11 obtains the box identification 21;
step S2, if yes, determining that the box body 20 is installed on the machine body 10, and acquiring related information of the box body 20 according to the box body identification 21;
and step S3, determining the working mode of the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 according to the specification information of the box body 20.
Above-mentioned unmanned aerial vehicle's control method, box sign 21 that accessible information collector 11 obtained confirms that box 20 installs on organism 10 and the relevant information of box 20, then can confirm unmanned aerial vehicle 100's working method according to box 20's relevant information, can improve unmanned aerial vehicle 100 job control's accuracy like this, for example, improve unmanned aerial vehicle 100's operation planning's accuracy, realize the intelligent planning to spraying the route or realize the planning that can intelligent return voyage after the load is spouted completely.
The tank 20 may be used to contain liquid (e.g., liquid containing agricultural chemicals), powder, solid particles, seeds, or the like. The relevant information includes, for example, specification information of the casing 20, information of the loaded object, and operation information of the drone 100.
It can be understood that the control method of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the embodiment of the present application can determine the working mode of the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 according to the specification information of the box body 20, so as to improve the working efficiency of the unmanned aerial vehicle 100. Moreover, in practical application, if the specification information of the box 20 installed on the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 is different from the specification information of the box required by the actual unmanned aerial vehicle 100, the misoperation can be reduced by controlling the start and stop of the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 or sending out prompt information. It can be understood that after the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 is powered on, the information collector 11 can be started to detect the box identifier 21.

If the working mode of the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 is not determined according to the specification information of the box body 20, the problem that crops cannot be effectively sprayed may exist. For example, if the area of the crop is large, the drone 100 is actually equipped with a smaller capacity housing 20. At this time, if the specification information of the box body 20 is not acquired and the working mode of the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 is determined according to the specification information of the box body 20, it is inevitable that part of the crops cannot be effectively sprayed. And if according to the control method of unmanned aerial vehicle of this application, in time acquire the specification information of box 20 to confirm unmanned aerial vehicle 100's working method according to the specification information of box 20, can avoid some plants can not effectively spray.

As such, when the existing capacity of the tank 20 is greater than the capacity threshold, the drone 100 can take off and execute the spray path of the drone 100; when the existing capacity of the box 20 is less than or equal to the capacity threshold, the drone 100 can issue a prompt or fail to take off. Wherein, the capacity threshold value can be set according to specific situations.
For example, when using unmanned aerial vehicle 100 to spray the operation, if the current capacity of box 20 is greater than the capacity threshold value, this moment shows that the current capacity of box 20 is more sufficient, can guarantee unmanned aerial vehicle 100's normal operation of spraying. At this time, the specific spraying path of the drone 100 may be determined according to the existing capacity of the box 20, for example, when the existing capacity of the box 20 is large, the spraying path of the drone 100 may be set to be long. If the existing capacity of the box 20 is less than or equal to the capacity threshold, it indicates that the existing capacity of the box 20 is insufficient, and the normal spraying operation of the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 cannot be satisfied. At this time, prompt information may be sent out in time, or the drone 100 may not take off.
In addition, if it is detected that the existing capacity of the box 20 is less than or equal to the capacity threshold value when the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 is in a flying state (for example, spraying work is being performed), the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 may be controlled to send out prompt information and stop working, and the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 may be controlled to return.
In the present embodiment, the controller 30 is configured to determine whether the existing capacity of the box 20 is greater than a capacity threshold, and to control the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 to take off and execute the spraying path of the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 when the existing capacity of the box 20 is greater than the capacity threshold, and to control the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 to send out the prompt message or control the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 not to take off when the existing capacity of the box 20 is less than or equal to the capacity threshold.
In certain embodiments, the drone 100 includes a spraying system 40 mounted to the body 10. The spraying system 40 is used for being connected with the box 20 when the box 20 is installed to the machine body 10, and the control method of the unmanned aerial vehicle comprises the following steps:
step S4, if the information collector 11 does not acquire the box identifier 21, it is determined that the box 20 is not mounted on the airframe 10, and the spraying system 40 is turned off and/or the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 is prohibited from taking off.
Thus, when the information collector 11 does not acquire the box body identifier 21, the spraying system 40 can be closed in time, and the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 can be prohibited from taking off at the same time.
For example, when the drone 100 is not taking off, the information collector 11 does not obtain the box identifier 21, which indicates that the box 20 is not installed on the airframe 10, so that the spraying system 40 can be directly turned off to prevent misoperation. When the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 is in the flight state, the information collector 11 does not acquire the box body identifier 21, which indicates that the box body 20 is separated from the machine body 10, and the spraying system 40 should be directly closed to prevent misoperation.
It is understood that controller 30 is configured to determine that box 20 is not mounted to airframe 10 when information collector 11 does not acquire box identification 21, and is configured to turn off spraying system 40 and/or prohibit takeoff of drone 100 when information collector 11 does not acquire box identification 21. That is, when the information collector 11 does not acquire the box body identifier 21, the controller 30 can turn off the spraying system 40, or the controller 30 prohibits the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 from taking off, or the controller 30 turns off the spraying system 40 and prohibits the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 from taking off.
Referring to fig. 15, in the embodiment, an unmanned aerial vehicle carrying a box is shown, and specifically, the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 includes a body 10, a box 20, a controller 30 (not shown), and a spraying system 40.
