The machine library power supply preferably has two power supplies, one is used for supplying power to the control panel, and the other is used for supplying power to the driving mechanism and the charger outside the control panel, but only one high-capacity power supply module or more power supply modules can be provided. In this embodiment, the control panel is powered by a first storage battery, the driving mechanism and the charger are powered by a second storage battery, the first storage battery is connected to the control panel through a control power circuit, and the second storage battery provides power sources for the driving mechanism and the charger through a power circuit.

Therefore, the present invention provides a switching unit on the power line between the control power circuit and the communication module a, which is controlled by the MCU as shown in fig. 2. When judging that an unmanned aerial vehicle just enters a preset switching route, the flight control center sends a communication switching instruction to an MCU (microprogrammed control unit) of a hangar corresponding to the switching route, the MCU controls a switch unit to enable a first communication module of the MCU to work, the hangar can perform handshake authentication with the unmanned aerial vehicle through the communication module A, communication connection is established, an unmanned aerial vehicle serial number is obtained based on the communication connection, the obtained unmanned aerial vehicle serial number is forwarded to the flight control center by the hangar, the flight control center sends a take-over key to the hangar according to the unmanned aerial vehicle serial number, the first communication module of the hangar completes the switching of the preset switching route according to the take-over key, and the take-over of the unmanned aerial vehicle control right is realized.

The first method is that the unmanned aerial vehicle acquires SOC information of the unmanned aerial vehicle and judges whether the SOC is lower than a set threshold value, if so, the unmanned aerial vehicle directly sends a charging request to a corresponding hangar, and the charging request can be added to handshake information of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the hangar; secondly, the unmanned aerial vehicle sends the SOC information of the unmanned aerial vehicle to a corresponding hangar, and the hangar judges whether the unmanned aerial vehicle needs to be charged according to the SOC information; and the third method is that the unmanned aerial vehicle sends the SOC information of the unmanned aerial vehicle to a flight control center, the flight control center judges whether the unmanned aerial vehicle needs to be charged or not, and the flight control center sends a charging request to the hangar when the unmanned aerial vehicle needs to be charged.
In addition, the unmanned aerial vehicle needs to be stopped except charging, and may need to be stopped for rest in the hangar due to weather reasons, therefore, an environmental data acquisition module connected with the MCU is further arranged in the hangar, for example, an air speed sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor, an air pressure sensor and the like, meanwhile, the MCU also acquires weather forecast data issued by the flight control center through the communication module B, the hangar judges whether extreme weather (weather affecting normal flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle, such as strong wind, hail, rainstorm, heavy fog, strong convection weather and the like) exists according to the weather forecast data and the locally acquired environmental data, and if the hangar taking over the control right of the unmanned aerial vehicle judges that the extreme weather exists, the communication module a sends a stop and rest instruction to the unmanned aerial vehicle taken over, so as to force the unmanned aerial vehicle to enter into a warehouse or to be forced to land on the spot.
For the inspection system shown in fig. 3, the first communication modules of the hangar a, the hangar B and the hangar C all adopt WIFI modules, the second communication modules adopt optical fiber communication modules, and the flight control center, the hangar a, the hangar B and the hangar C are sequentially connected through optical fibers. The flight control center is stored with a routing inspection route, the starting point of the routing inspection route is the flight control center, the flight control center determines a switching route according to the routing inspection route, the position information of each hangar and the communication distance of the WIFI module, three switching routes are assumed to exist, each switching route corresponds to the hangar A, the hangar B and the hangar C, for example, when the unmanned aerial vehicle reaches the first switching route, the signal of the unmanned aerial vehicle needs to be switched to the hangar A, namely, the communication connection is established with the WIFI module of the hangar A. Therefore, before the unmanned aerial vehicle reaches the switching route, the WIFI module, the driving mechanism and the charger in the corresponding hangar are all in a power-off state, and the energy consumption state of the hangar is called a first-level energy consumption level (low level). Based on the inspection system, the relay control process of the system is as follows.
The hangar A establishes communication connection with the flight control center in an optical fiber or wireless mode, and the hangar B and the hangar C also establish communication connection with the flight control center through the relay of the hangar A. After the unmanned aerial vehicle departs from a flight control center, the unmanned aerial vehicle can directly perform data interaction with the flight control center within a WIFI module communication range of the flight control center, the unmanned aerial vehicle directly sends real-time position information, dynamic flight data and image transmission data to the flight control center through a WIFI communication module of the unmanned aerial vehicle, when the flight control center detects that the unmanned aerial vehicle reaches a first preset switching route, the flight control center sends a communication switching control command to a hangar A corresponding to the switching route through an optical fiber module, after receiving the control command, an MCU of the hangar A controls the WIFI module of the hangar A to be powered on and started, the hangar A can establish communication connection with the unmanned aerial vehicle through the WIFI module and acquire an unmanned aerial vehicle serial number, the hangar A forwards the acquired unmanned aerial vehicle serial number to the flight control center, the flight control center sends a corresponding takeover key to the hangar A according to the unmanned aerial vehicle serial number, and the WIFI module of the hangar A completes the switching of the preset switching, and the control right of the unmanned aerial vehicle is taken over. At the moment, the hangar A serves as a relay node to establish communication between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the flight control center to realize communication relay, at the moment, the unmanned aerial vehicle firstly sends the real-time position information, the dynamic flight data and the image transmission data to the hangar A through the WIFI module, and the hangar A forwards the real-time position information, the dynamic flight data and the image transmission data to the flight control center through the optical fiber communication module. The state of the energy consumption of the library a at this time is referred to as a second energy consumption level (intermediate level).
Meanwhile, after the unmanned aerial vehicle and the hangar A complete switching control, the hangar A also judges whether a charging request instruction of the unmanned aerial vehicle is received, if not, the hangar A is kept at the second energy consumption level, and at the moment, the hangar A only executes a task (signal forwarding) of the relay node. If the unmanned aerial vehicle arrives at the upper space of the hangar A, the transparent cup cover is controlled to lift up to make preparation for stopping, and when the unmanned aerial vehicle arrives at the stopping ground of the hangar A, the stopping platform is lowered to the cabin bottom to control the charger to charge the unmanned aerial vehicle. And when the self-check of the hangar A is unqualified, powering down a driving mechanism and a charger in the hangar A to restore the hangar A to a second energy consumption level, sending a result of the unqualified self-check to a flight control center, and replanning and scheduling other hangars to take over by the flight control center according to the electric quantity and the position of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
When the unmanned aerial vehicle finishes charging and taking off in the hangar A, the hangar A controls the driving mechanism and the charger to be powered off, so that the hangar A recovers to obtain a second energy consumption level, the unmanned aerial vehicle continues cruising along the routing inspection route, when the unmanned aerial vehicle reaches the second switching route, the flight control center sends a signal switching control instruction to the hangar B corresponding to the second switching route, the hangar B controls the WIFI module to be electrified after receiving the signal switching control instruction, so that the hangar B enters the second energy consumption level, and switching the relay node of the unmanned aerial vehicle from the hangar A to the hangar B in the manner of the hangar A, after the unmanned aerial vehicle finishes switching, the flight control center controls the WIFI module of the hangar A to be powered off, so that the hangar A is recovered to the lowest energy consumption level. The signal switching, charging judgment and control processes of the machine library B are completely the same as those of the machine library A, and the description is not repeated.
According to the relay control mode, the unmanned aerial vehicle can reach the end point along the cruising route to complete the cruising task. In the cruising process, in order to avoid influence of extreme weather on the unmanned aerial vehicle, the unmanned aerial vehicle is controlled to enter the hangar to carry out shutdown and rest according to weather conditions, for example, when the unmanned aerial vehicle flies along the routing inspection route, the hangar A and the hangar B both receive rainstorm early warning information sent by a flight control center, the hangar A and the hangar B also judge that the rainstorm is possible according to self environmental information (such as lower air pressure ratio), if the unmanned aerial vehicle is taken over by the hangar B at the moment, the hangar B sends a shutdown and rest instruction to the unmanned aerial vehicle, and forces the unmanned aerial vehicle to enter the hangar B to carry out warehousing rest or on-site shutdown and rest according to actual conditions, if the hangar B carries out warehousing rest, the driving mechanism of the hangar B is controlled to be electrified, so that the hangar B enters a second energy consumption level to carry out shutdown preparation work of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and meanwhile, when the unmanned aerial vehicle enters the hangar B to, charging service can be provided for the unmanned aerial vehicle.

Meanwhile, the hangar can be controlled to be in different energy consumption levels according to the real-time position of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the actual requirements of the unmanned aerial vehicle. When the hangar is not the hangar corresponding to the switching road section of the unmanned aerial vehicle, controlling the hangar to work in a low energy consumption mode; when the hangar is not the hangar corresponding to the switching road section of the unmanned aerial vehicle, controlling the hangar to work in a medium energy consumption mode; when an unmanned aerial vehicle exists in the communication range of the hangar WIFI module and a charging requirement or a shutdown and rest requirement exists, the hangar is controlled to work in a high energy consumption mode. Therefore, the invention can realize the communication relay of the unmanned aerial vehicle and reduce the energy consumption level to the greatest extent on the premise of not influencing the normal signal transmission and energy supply of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
