In the method of consignment, the steps selected to replace the aircraft are:
1) taking the current position of the target aircraft as a center (usually realized by a positioning device), judging whether an unloaded aircraft in a flight state exists in a preset radius range (which can be set according to actual needs, such as 10km or 5km) by the control center, if so, selecting the unloaded aircraft which is closest to the target aircraft and has enough energy as a replacement aircraft by the control center, and if not, entering the step 2);
2) taking the current position of the target aircraft as a center (usually realized by a positioning device), judging whether an idle aircraft exists in a ground station within a preset radius range (which can be set according to actual needs, such as 10km or 5km) or not by the control center, if so, selecting the idle aircraft which is closest to the target aircraft and has enough energy as a replacement aircraft by the control center, and if not, entering the step 3);
3) judging whether an idle aircraft exists in a central control station (namely a station where the control center is located), if so, selecting the idle aircraft with enough energy as a replacement aircraft by the control center, and if not, entering a step 4);
4) centering on the current position of the target aircraft (usually by a positioning device), determining whether a loaded aircraft with a load in a flight state exists within a predetermined radius range (which can be set according to actual needs, such as 10km or 5km), if so, selecting the loaded aircraft with sufficient energy closest to the target aircraft as a replacement aircraft, and if not, failing to select the replacement aircraft.
After the replacement aircraft is selected, two results can be generated, one result is that the replacement aircraft is successfully selected, the other result is that the replacement aircraft is unsuccessfully selected, and if the replacement aircraft is successfully selected, the control center controls the replacement aircraft to converge with the target aircraft (usually through a positioning device), and carries the carrying bin 2 to a set position instead of the target aircraft; if the selection of the replacement aircraft fails, the mode can be changed from the air transportation mode to the land transportation mode (namely, the chassis transfer mode):
the control center controls the target aircraft to converge with the traveling chassis 3 (usually realized by a positioning device), then controls a first docking mechanism A on the traveling chassis 3 to be jointed with a second docking mechanism B which is idle on the carrying cabin 2, and the traveling chassis 3 replaces the target aircraft to carry the carrying cabin 2 to a set position; alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,
the control center controls the first docking mechanism A on the running chassis 3 to be combined with the second docking mechanism B which is idle on the target aircraft, and the running chassis 3 replaces the target aircraft to carry the combination of the carrying bin 2 and the target aircraft to the set position.
Of course, the chassis transfer mode is not only used in the case of failure of the aircraft replacement selection, but also can be directly converted from the air transportation mode to the chassis transfer mode according to the actual carrying requirements.
Further, in the chassis transfer mode, if the request for assisting the carrying is: requesting to carry the combination of the target aircraft and the carrying bin 2, and keeping the target aircraft in a joint state with the carrying bin 2 after the running chassis 3 is jointed with the carrying bin 2;
if the assisted carrying request is: when the separate transportation of the carrier bunker 2 is requested, the target aircraft is disengaged from the carrier bunker 2 after the running chassis 3 is engaged with the carrier bunker 2;
if the assisted carrying request is: when the target aircraft itself is requested to be carried individually, and the carrier box 2 is transported individually, then:
dispatching two running chassis 3, and controlling a first docking mechanism A of one running chassis 3 to be jointed with a second docking mechanism B of the carrying bin 2 which is idle, so that the running chassis 3 replaces a target aircraft to carry the carrying bin 2 to a set position;
the target aircraft is controlled to be disengaged from the carrying bin 2, the first docking mechanism A of the other travelling chassis 3 is engaged with the second docking mechanism B of the target aircraft, and the travelling chassis 3 is controlled to carry the target aircraft to the charging station.
The following technical scheme that a first docking mechanism A is arranged at the top of an aircraft 1, a second docking mechanism B is arranged at the bottom of the aircraft, a first docking mechanism A is arranged at the top of a carrying bin 2, a second docking mechanism B is arranged at the bottom of the carrying bin, and a first docking mechanism A is arranged at the top of a traveling chassis 3 is introduced for actual delivery flight:
normally, when the ground transportation mode is changed into air flight, the second docking mechanism B at the bottom of the aircraft 1 is engaged with the first docking mechanism a at the top of the carrying cabin 2, the second docking mechanism B at the bottom of the carrying cabin 2 is disengaged from the first docking mechanism a at the top of the traveling chassis 3, the carrying cabin 2 is changed from ground transportation to air transportation, and at this time, the carrying cabin 2 is hung at the bottom of the aircraft 1, so that the mode is in downward hanging type flight.
The lower hanging type is converted into the upper supporting type:
when the target aircraft executes a flight task, the energy monitoring system on the target aircraft can detect the energy consumption, the surplus and the supportable surplus mileage on the target aircraft in real time, and when the monitoring device detects that the surplus of the energy is not enough to complete the flight task or the target aircraft receives a new task sent by the control center, the target aircraft can send an assisted carrying request to the control center;
after receiving the request for assisting in carrying, the control center selects a replacement aircraft according to the position of the target aircraft, wherein the replacement aircraft can be an idle aircraft of a ground station within a preset radius range of the position of the target aircraft, can also be an idle aircraft in a central control station, can also be an idle aircraft which performs mission return in the air, can also be an aircraft with load passing through the position of the target aircraft, and can also be an aircraft which is in charge of other missions within the preset radius range, such as a patrol machine and the like; after the replacement aircraft is selected, the control center respectively sends the positions of the target aircraft and the replacement aircraft to each other, and communication is established between the target aircraft and the replacement aircraft;
according to the position information and the positioning device, the replacement aircraft reaches the position of the target aircraft, the two parties carry out real-time communication, and acquiring the attitude information of the other party, realizing the butt joint between the replacement aircraft and the target aircraft through the butt joint controller based on the acquired attitude information, the docking controller can adjust the postures of the replacement aircraft and the target aircraft according to GPS positioning signals, difference GPS and the means of combining a visual positioning system and the like in the docking process, the first docking mechanism a at the top of the replacement aircraft is then gradually brought into abutment with and docked to the second docking mechanism B at the bottom of the carrier bin 2, when the replacement aircraft is engaged with the carrier magazine 2, the target aircraft is detached from the carrier magazine 2, returned to the charging station or performed a new mission, the replacement aircraft combined with the carrier magazine 2 carries the carrier magazine 2 to a given position, as shown in fig. 13. This mode becomes a pop-up mode of transportation, since the carrier magazine 2 is now being palletized by the top of the replacement aircraft.
The upper supporting type is converted into the lower hanging type:
the conversion is basically the same as the conversion from the lower hanging type to the upper supporting type, and is only adjusted to replace the butt joint of a second butt joint mechanism B at the bottom of the aircraft and a first butt joint mechanism A at the top of the carrying bin 2; after the docking is completed, the target aircraft is separated from the carrying bin 2.
Respectively consigning:
when the energy of the target aircraft is insufficient to complete the flight task and support the target aircraft to return to the nearest charging station, the control center dispatches two replacement aircraft at one time, the replacement aircraft and the target aircraft are in real-time communication, in the process that one replacement aircraft converts the carrying bin 2 from the down-hanging type to the up-hanging type, or in the process that one replacement aircraft converts the carrying bin 2 from the up-hanging type to the down-hanging type, the other replacement aircraft is in butt joint with the target aircraft, one replacement aircraft transports the carrying bin 2, and the other replacement aircraft carries the target aircraft to the charging station for supplementing energy, so that the respective consignment is realized.
Carrying out integral consignment:
when the energy of the target aircraft is insufficient to complete the flight mission and support the target aircraft to return to the nearest charging station, the assisted carrying request can be a combination of the target aircraft and the carrying bin 2 for carrying integrally, at the moment, the control center dispatches the replacing aircraft with strong carrying capacity and sufficient energy to execute the mission, the replacing aircraft communicates with the target aircraft in real time, the docking of the replacing aircraft and the target aircraft is completed through a differential GPS and a visual positioning means, and when the carrying bin 2 is in a down-hanging type, the replacing aircraft can be docked with the top of the target aircraft and also docked with the bottom of the carrying bin 2; when the carrier bay 2 is pop-up, the replacement aircraft may dock with either the top of the carrier bay 2 or the bottom of the target aircraft.
In this case, the replacement aircraft ships the combination of the target aircraft and the delivery bay 2 to the predetermined position, or after the replacement aircraft ships the combination for a certain distance, the target aircraft is disengaged from the cabin, the landing is automatically completed to charge the cabin, and the replacement aircraft continues to transport the delivery bay 2 to the predetermined position.
Temporary consignment:
if the central control station and the nearby ground station do not have idle aircrafts as replacement aircrafts after receiving the carrying assisting request, and no-load aircrafts return within the preset radius range, at the moment, if a loaded aircraft which is executing a task is within the preset radius range, the loaded aircraft can be controlled to carry out temporary consignment.
For example, if the target aircraft and the loaded aircraft are in a down-hanging state, the upper part of the loaded aircraft is butted with the lower part of a carrying bin 2 on the target aircraft, which means that one carrying bin 2 is loaded on both the upper and lower surfaces of the loaded aircraft, and the target aircraft is separated from the carrying bin 2 to execute a new task or return to a ground charging station for charging;
for example, if the target aircraft and the loaded aircraft are both in a pop-up state, the lower part of the loaded aircraft is in butt joint with the upper part of the carrying bin 2 on the target aircraft, which means that one carrying bin 2 is loaded on both the upper and lower surfaces of the loaded aircraft, and the target aircraft is separated from the carrying bin 2 to execute a new task or return to a ground charging station for charging;
for example, if the target aircraft is in a down-hanging type and the loaded aircraft is in an up-hanging type, the upper part of the carrying bin 2 on the loaded aircraft is butted with the lower part of the carrying bin 2 on the target aircraft, two carrying bins 2 are butted with each other, which means that two carrying bins 2 are arranged above the loaded aircraft, and the target aircraft is separated from the carrying bins 2 to execute a new task or return to a ground charging station for charging;
for example, if the target aircraft is in a pop-up type and the loaded aircraft is in a down-hanging type, the lower part of the carrying bin 2 on the loaded aircraft is in butt joint with the upper part of the carrying bin 2 on the target aircraft, two carrying bins 2 are in butt joint with each other, which means that two carrying bins 2 are arranged below the loaded aircraft, and the target aircraft is separated from the carrying bins 2 to execute a new task or return to a ground charging station for charging;
of course, the loaded aircraft may also ship the combination of the target aircraft and the carrier bay 2 as a whole.
For example, if the target aircraft is in a pop-up type and the loaded aircraft is in a down-hanging type, the lower part of the carrier bay 2 on the loaded aircraft is butted with the upper part of the carrier bay 2 on the target aircraft, two carrier bays 2 are butted with each other, which corresponds to the situation that the upper end of the combination of the two carrier bays 2 is the loaded aircraft and the lower end is the target aircraft,
of course, besides the docking mechanisms arranged on the top and bottom surfaces of the aircraft 1 and the carrier cabin 2, the docking mechanisms can also be arranged on other surfaces of the aircraft 1 and the carrier cabin 2 according to specific shapes, so that the mode of multi-azimuth docking and multi-attitude combination is changed.
