The wind direction of the environment refers to the flow direction of the airflow encountered by the unmanned aerial vehicle during the flight process, wherein the wind direction may be opposite to the flight direction of the unmanned aerial vehicle or have a certain included angle with the flight direction of the unmanned aerial vehicle. When the wind direction is opposite to the flight direction of the unmanned aerial vehicle, at the moment, the wind direction is opposite to the head direction of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and then, the airflow forms head wind of the unmanned aerial vehicle. When the wind direction is at an angle to the unmanned aerial vehicle, the airflow flows transversely through the unmanned aerial vehicle, and then the airflow constitutes the crosswind of the unmanned aerial vehicle. As can be appreciated, the air flow creates a wind force in the fuselage of the drone, which may be represented by the magnitude and direction of the wind.
In some embodiments, the drone detects the wind force in real time when hovering or flying at a low speed, for example, an anemometer is provided in the drone, and the wind force is obtained by calculating a pressure difference between a dynamic pressure and a static pressure on the anemometer. During specific operation, the unmanned aerial vehicle also presets a wind disturbance threshold, if the wind power is smaller than the wind disturbance threshold, the current wind power is smaller, and then the unmanned aerial vehicle resists the wind power by outputting control power adaptive to the wind power. If the wind power is larger than or equal to the wind disturbance threshold, the current wind power affects the flying stability and safety of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and then the unmanned aerial vehicle continues to acquire the wind power direction of the wind power.

It should be noted that, when the drone is hovering or flying at a low speed, it can be considered that the drone is static at this time, that is, the resultant force of the X-axis, the Y-axis and the Z-axis of the drone in its coordinate system is approximately 0.
The wind direction is opposite to the head direction of the unmanned aerial vehicle, namely the wind direction and the flight direction of the unmanned aerial vehicle are on the same straight line and opposite in direction. Then, according to the above formula, when the wind direction is opposite to the head direction of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the wind components F of the wind in the Y axis and the Z axiswindyAnd FwindzIs 0, wind power only forms wind disturbance in the X-axis direction, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle only needs to provide power in the X-axis direction to resist the wind disturbance, and the power in the X-axis direction provided by the unmanned aerial vehicle meets the requirement of Fxl+Fxr=Fwindx+max
In some embodiments, the roll angle and the pitch angle of the drone are both controlled to be 0 degrees, such that the gravity components of the drone in the X-axis and Y-axis are 0, i.e., ma x0, and ma y0.

As described above, when the wind direction is opposite to the head direction of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the wind components F of the wind in the Y axis and the Z axiswindyAnd FwindzIs 0, and wind-force has only formed wind in the X axle direction and has disturbed, then, unmanned aerial vehicle only need provide the power of X axle direction in order to resist this wind and disturb, just the size of the horizontal vector power that the rotor that verts produced with wind-force size is the same, satisfies F promptlyxl+Fxr=FwindxThe equivalence relation of (a).
In this embodiment, through control tilt rotor produce with wind-force size the same, opposite direction's horizontal vector force is in order to resist wind-force, thereby has realized unmanned aerial vehicle is in order to resist with less controllability wind-force has promoted unmanned aerial vehicle's wind resistance ability.

wherein, the oar power that main rotor provided means unmanned aerial vehicle's lift, mainly used overcomes unmanned aerial vehicle's dead weight self.
S222b, adjusting the tilt rotor of the unmanned aerial vehicle to provide horizontal vector force according to the paddle force and each axial wind force component, wherein the horizontal vector force is the same as the wind force in size.
It can be understood that the direction of the propeller force is always towards the negative direction of the Z axis in the coordinate system of the drone. The method for adjusting the tilt rotor of the unmanned aerial vehicle to provide the horizontal vector force according to the paddle force and each axial wind force component may refer to the description of the embodiment of the force-bearing schematic diagram shown in fig. 3, and is not described in detail here.
