Description

Underwater control method for autonomous underwater vehicle
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of underwater vehicles, in particular to a submerging control method for an autonomous underwater vehicle.
Background
An Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is an unmanned and cableless Underwater robot, has Autonomous navigation and Autonomous navigation functions, and can realize different Underwater detection tasks such as Underwater target detection, Underwater imaging, Underwater photography, hydrological data acquisition and the like by carrying different devices.
In order to improve hydrodynamic characteristics and reduce power consumption, an AUV generally adopts a torpedo type streamline design, and realizes advancing, retreating, turning, floating and submerging of an aircraft through intelligent control of a single propeller, a horizontal rudder and a vertical rudder. The AUV has the appearance shown in FIG. 1: the propeller generates forward/backward thrust by forward/backward rotation of the propeller; the vertical rudder controls the left and right steering of the AUV; the horizontal rudder controls the floating and the submerging of the AUV.
In order to ensure safety, the AUV is balanced to be made into positive buoyancy, namely the buoyancy of the AUV is larger than the gravity, and the AUV partially emerges from the water surface in a static state. The traditional diving method adopts a mode that a propeller generates forward thrust and a horizontal rudder faces downwards. In this way, when the AUV is on the water surface, the propeller and the rudder are exposed out of the water surface due to the downward inclination angle and the upward stern of the AUV, as shown in fig. 2, and the propeller idles, the rudder cannot generate sufficient downward thrust, so that the AUV is difficult to submerge.
In view of the above problems, there are two main approaches currently taken:
(1) adding a horizontal rudder at a position close to the bow of the AUV
Such as Theseus AUV (https:// ISE. bc. ca/product/Theseus-AUV /) by ISE corporation, adds a horizontal rudder near the bow.
(2) AUV added vertical propeller
The literature, The MARES AUV, a modulated Autonomous Robot for environmental sampling, adopts two vertical propellers to improve The submergence ability of The AUV.
(3) The AUV adopts a plurality of propellers to form vector propulsion
An appearance design patent-underwater robot (vector propulsion) (application number: 201730641242.3) proposes that 4 propellers are arranged at the stern of an AUV to form a vector propulsion mode, so that the submergence capacity of the AUV is improved.
The tradition adopts single propeller, rudder, through the mode that relies on forward thrust of screw and rudder thrust downwards, when AUV is located the surface of water, at the dive in-process, screw and rudder are exposed the surface of water easily, make the thrust downwards of production not enough, and make AUV be difficult to dive.
The manner of adding a horizontal rudder at the position of the AUV near the bow requires additional space for the AUV and increases the design complexity.
The mode of adding the vertical propeller to the AUV also needs to increase the space of the AUV, and the power consumption of the mode of depending on a plurality of propellers is larger than that of depending on the mode of depending on the horizontal rudder for diving.
The AUV is provided with a plurality of propellers at the stern part to form a vector propulsion mode, and the power consumption of the AUV can be increased due to the fact that the propellers are needed.
The invention adopts a reverse submerging mode, namely the propeller rotates reversely when the AUV is on the water surface, and the horizontal rudder is upward, so that the stern part of the AUV submerges into the water firstly in the submerging process, as shown in figure 3. When the vehicle is backed and submerged, the AUV inclination angle is upward, and when the vehicle is submerged normally, the AUV inclination angle is downward.
The mode of backing and submerging is adopted, the propeller and the horizontal rudder can generate enough thrust to submerge the AUV, and when the AUV is submerged to a certain depth, the AUV is switched to a forward mode. The method does not additionally increase mechanical and hardware components, adopts a software control mode, and ensures that the AUV can be submerged easily, which is not available in published documents and periodicals.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a submergence control method for an autonomous underwater vehicle, aiming at the defects of the prior art, the autonomous underwater vehicle is driven by a single propeller and a rudder to submerge an AUV easily on the water surface through a software control mode by aiming at the prior torpedo type AUV, and additional mechanical and hardware components are not needed.
The purpose of the invention is realized by the following technical scheme: an autonomous underwater vehicle submergence control method comprises the following steps:
(1) initializing the state and variables of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), including re-recording the diving time, returning the steering engine angle to 0, stopping the rotation of a motor, marking the position 1 of a reversing and diving start mark, and marking the position 0 of a reversing and diving end mark; then the propeller rotates reversely when the AUV is on the water surface, and the horizontal rudder is upward;
(2) reading the diving time delta t and judging whether the preset diving time t is exceeded or notsIf Δ t is greater than or equal to tsIf yes, stopping backing and diving, otherwise executing the step (3);
(3) judging the inclination angle of the AUV; reading the current inclination angle pitch of the AUV, and judging whether the current inclination angle pitch exceeds a preset inclination angle pitchsIf the pitch is not less than the pitchsIf yes, stopping backing and diving, otherwise executing the step (4);
(4) judging whether the preset depth is reached; reading the depth meter data z, and judging whether the depth meter data z sinks to the specified depth zsIf z is not less than zsIf yes, backing up and diving are finished; otherwise, executing the step (5);
(5) PID reverse submergence control; calculating a preset depth zsThe difference value with the current depth z is input into a first-stage PID controller, and the output is a target inclination angle pitcht(ii) a Calculating the output target inclination pitchtAnd (3) inputting the difference value of the current inclination angle pitch into a second-stage PID controller, outputting the difference value as a horizontal rudder angle, steering according to the horizontal rudder angle, and then returning to the step (2) to continue the process of backing and diving.
Further, the backing-up and submerging means that the AUV propeller rotates reversely and submerges in the water in a retreating mode.
Further, in the step (5), the AUV target inclination angle obtained when the vehicle is backed and submerged is upward, and is opposite to the AUV forward direction.
Further, in the step (5), when backing up and diving, the inclination angle is upward, and when steering is carried out according to the horizontal steering angle, the horizontal steering needs to be steered.
And further, after the reversing task is finished, the steering engine returns to 0, the motor stops rotating, the reversing and submerging start mark position 0 and the reversing and submerging finish mark position 1 start to execute other tasks.
Further, the first stage PID controller and the second stage PID controller are both provided with a proportional term KpIntegral term Kis-1And a difference term KdAnd s, setting an integral upper limit to prevent integral term saturation, and setting an upper limit on the final output of the PID to prevent an overlarge output rudder angle value.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: aiming at the problem that the AUV is difficult to submerge, the invention does not additionally increase equipment such as a propeller, a rudder and the like, adopts a software control mode, and submerges by backing a car, so that the AUV is submerged smoothly, the volume of the AUV is saved, the power consumption is reduced, and the cost is saved.
