Description

Yaw control method and mechanism of bionic micro flapping wing aircraft
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of miniature aircrafts, in particular to a yaw control method and a yaw control mechanism of a bionic miniature flapping wing aircraft.
Background
The miniature aircraft is a novel aircraft developed in the middle of the 90 s of the 20 th century. In the last two decades, with the continuous improvement of the traditional aircraft design technology and the continuous maturation of the microelectronic technology, micro aircraft have been proposed and developed rapidly. The micro aircraft has the characteristics of small volume, light weight, good concealment and the like, and has wide application prospects in the military and civil fields of reconnaissance, communication, exploration, assistance in rescue and the like.
The bionic micro flapping wing aircraft is taken as an important branch of the micro aircraft, and gradually appears along with the development of the bionic design. The bionic miniature flapping wing air vehicle has a bionic shape, generates pneumatic torque by finely controlling the flapping process of the flapping wings by using the biological flight principle for reference, has strong maneuverability, and has hovering and vertical take-off and landing capabilities. In recent years, with the deep research on the flying mechanics of insects and hummingbirds, the bionic micro flapping wing air vehicle is further developed in the miniaturization direction, and a feasible scheme is provided for executing tasks in narrow and complex spaces.
With the further development of the bionic micro flapping wing aircraft, the bionic micro flapping wing aircraft disclosed currently needs to be further improved. Most of bionic miniature flapping wing aircrafts at the present stage solve the problems of pitch and roll control but lack of yaw control, and two or more steering engines are applied as an execution part for pitch and roll control. The wings and the mechanism of the bionic micro flapping wing aircraft designed in practice are difficult to achieve strict bilateral symmetry in the manufacturing process, so that the aerodynamic force and the moment on the left wing and the right wing are also deviated to cause the aircraft to have an unavoidable yaw moment. The aircraft without yaw control cannot overcome yaw moment caused by initial asymmetry of left and right wings, and cannot perform yaw control to cause mobility loss.
In the currently disclosed yaw control method, there is a method of changing the relative position of the frame to make the airframe generate torque to make the airframe perform yaw motion (for example, patent CN 110712750 a, a miniature four-flapping-wing aircraft control system), and there is also a method of changing the average turning position of the wings by means of the steering engine driving the gears to realize control of the control mechanism (for example, patent CN 106864750 a, a miniature link mechanism capable of controlling the average turning position), thereby realizing yaw attitude control. The former method is to operate the body of the micro flapping wing aircraft, and has a complex structure, and although the latter method can control the attack angle of the flapping wing to a certain extent, the control mechanism is complex due to the way that the steering engine drives the gear. The bionic micro flapping wing aircraft usually moves in a narrow space, so that the aircraft does not have a large space to execute control actions in the practical application process, and the phenomena that the aircraft is unfavorable for the aircraft, such as collision with surrounding obstacles and the like can occur when the control actions are large. In addition, the bionic micro flapping wing aircraft needs to track a specific target, which also puts higher requirements on the accuracy of yaw control.
In view of the above background, there is still a need to invent a yaw control method meeting the flight application requirements of a bionic micro flapping-wing aircraft in a small, light and narrow space, and a yaw control mechanism with a targeted design and easy operation.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides a yaw control method and a yaw control mechanism of a bionic micro flapping wing aircraft, aiming at the problem of yaw control of the bionic micro flapping wing aircraft.
The invention discloses a yaw control method and a yaw control mechanism of a bionic miniature flapping wing aircraft, which are mainly used for accurately controlling yaw maneuvering in a narrow space and specifically comprise three links of yaw attitude angle resolving, PID (proportion integration differentiation) control algorithm application and yaw moment generation.
The aircraft carries out yaw maneuvering accurate control in a narrow space, firstly, accurate hovering is realized at each moment, the yaw angle is controlled at an expected value, and then yaw maneuvering control at the next moment is carried out on the basis. When the aircraft needs yaw real-time correction when accurate hovering, the input yaw instruction is zero, and the aircraft performs yaw stability augmentation control, so that the aircraft is kept at an expected balance position in a narrow space at each moment; on the basis of accurate hovering, when the aircraft carries out yaw maneuvering accurate control in a narrow space, the yaw instruction input at the moment is small and not zero, and yaw control aims at achieving accurate and rapid arrival of the yaw attitude angle of the aircraft at an instruction value.
When the aircraft needs to correct the deviation of the yaw angle in the balanced state, firstly, a current yaw attitude angle estimation value of the aircraft is obtained through yaw attitude angle calculation, and the yaw attitude angle estimation value is differed with a yaw attitude angle instruction value, namely the yaw attitude angle of the aircraft at the balanced position, so that a difference value is obtained; then, calculating a yaw control execution command by applying a PID control algorithm to the yaw angle difference value, and inputting the control execution command to a yaw control execution component; and finally, the yaw control actuating mechanism is controlled to generate a yaw moment, so that the yaw attitude of the aircraft is changed, and the yaw attitude is restored to the balance position.
When the yaw attitude of the aircraft is required to change in a minimum range, namely, accurate yaw maneuvering is carried out, firstly, a current yaw attitude angle estimated value of the aircraft is obtained through yaw attitude angle calculation, a difference value is obtained by subtracting the yaw attitude angle estimated value and a yaw attitude angle instruction value, and a required rudder deflection is calculated through a mixed control matrix; then, inputting a yaw rudder deflection control execution command to a yaw control execution component; and finally, the yaw control actuating mechanism is controlled to generate a yaw moment, and the yaw attitude of the aircraft is changed in a small range, so that the yaw attitude reaches the position required by the command.
Calculating the yaw attitude angle, namely measuring the yaw angular acceleration, the yaw angular velocity and the magnetic direction angle by an accelerometer, a gyroscope and a magnetometer; and then, taking the three measurement signals as input, and obtaining an estimated yaw attitude angle value by utilizing an attitude calculation algorithm consisting of complementary filtering and extended Kalman filtering. The algorithm is mainly used for solving the problems that the movement attitude data change is severe and signals are difficult to accurately measure due to the fact that the mechanism vibrates greatly when the wing of the micro aircraft moves.
The PID control algorithm is divided into three steps, firstly, the yaw attitude angle estimated value is compared with the aircraft yaw attitude angle instruction value to obtain a yaw attitude angle difference value; then, PID control is applied to the yaw attitude angle difference value to obtain a yaw attitude angle control execution expectation, and rudder deflection quantity required for eliminating yaw attitude angle deviation is calculated through a mixed control matrix; finally, a yaw rudder deflection control execution command is input to the yaw control execution means.
The yaw moment generating method is characterized in that a yaw moment generating principle of biological flight is applied in a bionic mode, and the bionic miniature flapping wing aircraft applying the yaw moment generating method is provided with a pair of wings which are distributed on two sides of a fuselage in a bilateral symmetry mode. The left wing and the right wing are both composed of wing rods and wing membranes, wherein the wing rods comprise front edge wing rods and side wing rods, the upper edges and the side edges of the wing membranes are vertical, and the lower edges of the wing membranes are arc-shaped. The front edge wing rod is connected with the upper edge of the wing membrane, and the side wing rod is connected with the side edge of the wing membrane. The yaw control steering engine is positioned below the lateral wing rods. When a right yawing moment is needed, the yawing control steering engine drives the left wing lateral wing rod to swing backwards around the wing root position through the rudder arm on the yawing control steering engine, the right wing lateral wing rod swings forwards around the wing root position, so that the left wing membrane is tensioned during forward flapping, the attack angle is reduced, the right wing membrane is loosened, the attack angle is increased, the left wing membrane is loosened during backward flapping, the attack angle is increased, the right wing membrane is tensioned, the attack angle is reduced, therefore, the backward flapping resistance of the left wing is greater than the forward flapping resistance, the backward flapping resistance of the right wing is less than the forward flapping resistance, and accordingly, a right yawing moment is formed on the left wing and the right wing. The action of generating the left yaw moment is opposite to the action of generating the right yaw moment.
The yaw moment generation method can be realized by simultaneously controlling the tension degree and the deformation of the left wing membrane and the right wing membrane on the bionic micro flapping wing aircraft through one control steering engine, and can also be realized by respectively controlling the tension degree and the deformation of the left wing membrane and the right wing membrane on the bionic micro flapping wing aircraft through two control steering engines.
A yaw control steering engine of the miniature aircraft which generates yaw control by using a yaw control steering engine to control the deformation of wings is a rotary steering engine and is positioned at the center of a connecting line of the bottom ends of side wing rods of left and right wings, and a rotary steering engine arm also drives the side wing rods of the two wings to swing back and forth. Use the required clockwise yaw moment of production right side driftage as an example, rotatory steering wheel anticlockwise rotation this moment, drive left side flank pole around wing root position backward swing, right side wing root around wing root position forward swing, make the wing membrane tensioning when the left wing is clapped before, the angle of attack reduces, the wing membrane relaxes when clapping after, the angle of attack increases, make the resistance of clapping after be greater than the resistance of clapping before, form clockwise yaw moment on the left wing, also can produce the clockwise yaw moment of same direction on the right wing like this, the general left side of seeing this moment, the right wing produces clockwise yaw moment drive aircraft and drifts right. The action of generating the left yaw moment is opposite to the action of generating the right yaw moment.
The yaw control steering engine of the miniature aircraft which generates yaw control by using two yaw control steering engine control wings to deform is a rotary steering engine, the left rotary steering engine and the right rotary steering engine are respectively positioned below left and right wing side wing rods, and two rotary steering engine arms respectively drive the left and right wing side wing rods to swing back and forth. Take the required clockwise yaw moment of production right driftage as an example, left and right two driftage control steering wheel anticlockwise rotation the same angle simultaneously, drive left side flank pole and swing backward around wing root position, right side flank pole swings forward around wing root position, make the wing membrane tensioning when the left wing is clapped forward, the angle of attack reduces, the wing membrane relaxes when clapping backward, the angle of attack increases, make the clapped resistance after be greater than before clapping the resistance, form clockwise yaw moment on the left wing, also can produce the clockwise yaw moment of equidirectional on the right wing on the same reason, left and right wing clockwise yaw moment drive aircraft drifts right. The action of generating the left yaw moment is opposite to the action of generating the right yaw moment.
The invention has the advantages that:
(1) a bionic miniature flapping wing aircraft yaw control method and mechanism, invent the yaw and increase steady and maneuver control method and actuating mechanism;
(2) a bionic miniature flapping wing aircraft yaw control method and mechanism is a bionic control method, and provides conditions for the future invention of a real bionic mimicry miniature aircraft; the control method is set for the bionic micro aircraft to be used in a very narrow space, and can realize accurate yaw maneuvering in the narrow space;
(3) the control method is simple and easy to operate, and can carry out precise maneuvering control in a narrow space.
