sequentially connecting the flying platform, the suspension mechanism and the cutter system from top to bottom to form a flying robot whole; when the flying robot flies to the vicinity of the tree barrier, firstly adjusting the length and the flying height of the suspension mechanism, enabling the cutter system to face the tree to be cut, then controlling the flying robot to fly forwards after receiving a tree barrier cleaning remote control command, and performing flat-pushing type cutting cleaning on the tree barrier below the robot by utilizing the cutter system; in the cleaning process, the length of the suspension mechanism can be dynamically adjusted to adapt to different cleaning requirements.
A control method of a flight robot for clearing tree obstacles of a scissor fork type hanging tool comprises the following steps:
the control method comprises a control method of a suspension mechanism, a control method of a cutter system and a control method of a unhooking device, and specifically comprises the following steps:
1) the control method of the suspension mechanism comprises the following steps: the working modes of the suspension mechanism are three, namely suspension mechanism ascending, suspension mechanism locking and suspension mechanism descending:
A) the suspension mechanism ascends: a main controller of the flight platform outputs a forward rotation instruction to the motor, the motor rotates to drive the lifting screw to rotate forward, so that the lifting adjusting rod rises, the telescopic device is driven to contract upwards, the sliding rod moves outwards, and the suspension mechanism rises; when the suspension mechanism rises to the limit position, the sliding rod triggers the upper travel switch, and the main controller of the flight platform outputs a stalling instruction to the motor to stall the motor, so that the suspension mechanism is protected from rising;
B) locking a suspension mechanism: in the lifting process of the suspension mechanism, once a main controller of the flight platform outputs a stop instruction to the motor, the lifting screw driven by the motor stops rotating, and the suspension mechanism is locked at the current position due to the self-locking relationship between the lifting screw and the lifting adjusting rod;
C) descending the suspension mechanism: a main controller of the flight platform outputs a reverse instruction to a motor, the motor rotates to drive a lifting screw to rotate reversely, so that a lifting adjusting rod descends to drive a telescopic device to extend downwards, a sliding rod moves inwards, and a suspension mechanism descends; when the suspension mechanism descends to the limit position, the sliding rod triggers the lower travel switch, and the main controller of the flight platform outputs a stalling instruction to the motor to stall the motor, so that the suspension mechanism is protected from descending.
2) The control method of the cutter system comprises the following steps:
A) the cutter controller collects the current, the rotating speed and the temperature of the cutter motor during working in real time and sends the current, the rotating speed and the temperature to the main controller of the flying platform for monitoring.
B) Evaluating the working state of the electric saw assembly in real time:
firstly, setting a current threshold, a rotating speed threshold and a temperature threshold corresponding to overload to be known, and if the current of a cutter motor exceeds the current threshold, or the rotating speed is lower than the rotating speed threshold, or the temperature exceeds the temperature threshold, judging that the electric saw component is overloaded;
secondly, setting a current threshold, a rotating speed threshold and a temperature threshold corresponding to the blockage to be known, and if the current of the cutter motor exceeds the current threshold, or the rotating speed is lower than the rotating speed threshold, or the temperature exceeds the temperature threshold, judging that the electric saw component is blocked;
and thirdly, if the current or the rotating speed of the cutter motor has periodic pulsation and the amplitude exceeds a preset threshold, the electric saw component can be judged to be damaged.
C) The method for processing the exception of the working state comprises the following steps:
if the flying platform is judged to be overloaded, a hovering instruction is sent to the flying platform, and cutting feeding is stopped;
if the tool is judged to be blocked or damaged, the motor of the tool is braked, and a backspacing instruction is sent to the flying platform;
and thirdly, for the jamming, if the electric saw assembly is clamped by the branches and is difficult to break free, the tripping device is started to enable the cutter system to break away from the flying robot, so that the safety of the flying robot is protected to the maximum extent, and the crash is avoided.
D) Detecting the balance operation state of the cutter system and implementing compensation control:
the detection method comprises the following steps: the instantaneous rotating speeds of the cutter motors at the symmetrical positions of the left side and the right side are respectively Nia、NibInstantaneous current is respectively Iia、IibInstantaneous temperature is respectively Tia、TibWherein i is 1, …, N;

if | Δ y | ≧ δyDetermination of a malfunction in the balance of the tool system, where deltay>0, a tool system balance operation malfunction determination threshold value.
The balance operation compensation control method of the cutter system comprises the following steps:
if epsilonx<|Δxi|<δxAnd epsilon<|Δy|<δyIn which epsilonx>0 and ε>0, if it is an insensitive area, one of the following methods is adopted: a) course follow-up: controlling the course of the flying robot to move and adjust to one side with smaller cutting strength so as to implement balance compensation on two sides of the cutter system; b) keeping the course: controlling the flying robot to hover until the absolute value of delta xiAfter both | and | Δ y | are reduced, the flying robot is controlled to fly forward to implement obstacle clearing and feeding, so that the course of the flying robot is maintained;

3) The control method of the mechanical unhooking device comprises the following steps:
A) when the unhooking device receives an unhooking command of a main controller in the flight platform, an output rod of the linear steering engine extends to drive the bearing to move downwards, the bearing is in pressing contact with an upper plane of a transverse rod of the upper hook to push the upper hook to rotate clockwise, and a hook at the lower end of the upper hook is separated from the lower hook buckle, so that mechanical unhooking of a part connected below the unhooking device and a part connected above the unhooking device is realized, and meanwhile, separation of an electrical interface is also completed; then, an output rod of the linear steering engine contracts, and the upper hook rotates anticlockwise to reset under the action of the tension spring;
B) when the lower hanging buckle moves upwards to extrude the hook of the upper hook leftwards, the upper hook is pushed to rotate clockwise to give way, and when the lower hanging buckle moves upwards to a proper position, the hook of the upper hook is quickly screwed into the square hole of the lower hanging buckle, so that a part connected below the unhooking device and a part connected above the unhooking device are stably and reliably hooked, and meanwhile, the connection of an electrical interface is also completed.

B) locking a suspension mechanism: in the lifting process of the suspension mechanism (2), once a main controller of the flight platform (1) outputs a stop instruction to the motor (2105), the lifting screw (2104) driven by the motor (2105) stops rotating, and the suspension mechanism (2) is locked at the current position due to the self-locking relationship between the lifting screw (2104) and the lifting adjusting rod (2107);
C) descending the suspension mechanism: a main controller of the flight platform (1) outputs a reverse rotation instruction to a motor (2105), the motor (2105) rotates to drive a lifting screw (2104) to reversely rotate, so that a lifting adjusting rod (2107) descends to drive a telescopic device (212) to extend downwards, a sliding rod (2106) moves inwards, and a suspension mechanism (2) descends; when the suspension mechanism descends to the limit position, the sliding rod (2106) triggers a lower travel switch, and a main controller of the flight platform (1) outputs a stop instruction to the motor (2105) to stop the motor (2105), so that the suspension mechanism (2) is protected from descending;
2) the control method of the cutter system (3) comprises the following steps:
A) the cutter controller (3005) collects the current, the rotating speed and the temperature of the cutter motor (3002) in real time when working and sends the current, the rotating speed and the temperature to the main controller of the flight platform (1) for monitoring;
B) evaluating the working state of the electric saw assembly in real time:
firstly, setting a current threshold, a rotating speed threshold and a temperature threshold corresponding to overload to be known, and if the current of a cutter motor (3002) exceeds the current threshold, or the rotating speed is lower than the rotating speed threshold, or the temperature exceeds the temperature threshold, judging that the electric saw component is overloaded;
secondly, setting a current threshold, a rotating speed threshold and a temperature threshold corresponding to the blockage to be known, and if the current of the cutter motor (3002) exceeds the current threshold, or the rotating speed is lower than the rotating speed threshold, or the temperature exceeds the temperature threshold, judging that the electric saw component is blocked;
if the current or the rotating speed of the cutter motor (3002) has periodic pulsation and the amplitude exceeds a preset threshold, the electric saw component can be judged to be damaged;
C) the method for processing the exception of the working state comprises the following steps:
if the flying platform is judged to be overloaded, a hovering instruction is sent to the flying platform (1), and cutting feeding is stopped;
if the tool is determined to be blocked or damaged, the tool motor (3002) is braked, and a backspacing instruction is sent to the flying platform (1) at the same time;
for jamming, if the electric saw assembly is clamped by branches and is difficult to break loose, the unhooking device (4) is started to enable the cutter system (3) to be separated from the flying robot, so that the safety of the flying robot is protected to the maximum extent, and the falling of the flying robot is avoided;
D) detecting the balance operation state of the cutter system (3) and implementing compensation control:
the detection method comprises the following steps: the instantaneous rotating speeds of the cutter motors (3002) at the symmetrical positions of the left side and the right side are respectively Nia、NibInstantaneous current is respectively Iia、IibInstantaneous temperature is respectively Tia、TibWherein i is 1, …, N;
defining the cutting strength of the electric saw assembly:
xij=f(Nij,Iij,Tij)
wherein, i is 1, …, and N, j is a, b. If a linear structure is taken, then
xij=kN(N0-Nij)+kIIij+kTTij
Wherein k isN、kI、kTAs a weight coefficient, N0No-load rotation speed;
defining a difference in cutting strength for a pair of electric saw assemblies:
Δxi=xia-xib,i=1,…,N
defining the overall cutting strength difference of the cutter system (3):

If | Δ xi|≥δxDetermining a balance operation disorder of the electric saw assembly, wherein deltax>0, judging a threshold value for the abnormality of the balance operation of the electric saw assembly;
if | Δ y | ≧ δyDetermining a balanced operation error of the tool system (3), wherein deltay>0, judging a threshold value for the balance operation abnormality of the cutter system (3);
the balance operation compensation control method of the cutter system (3) comprises the following steps:
if epsilonx<|Δxi|<δxAnd epsilon<|Δy|<δyIn which epsilonx>0 and ε>0, if it is an insensitive area, one of the following methods is adopted: a) course follow-up: controlling the course of the flying robot to move and adjust to one side with smaller cutting strength so as to implement balance compensation on two sides of the cutter system (3); b) keeping the course: controlling the flying robot to hover until the absolute value of delta xiAfter both | and | Δ y | are reduced, the flying robot is controlled to fly forward to implement obstacle clearing and feeding, so that the course of the flying robot is maintained;
if the balance operation of a certain pair of electric saw components or the balance operation of the cutter system (3) is judged to be abnormal, the flying platform (1) is firstly made to keep hovering, and then all | delta x values are continuously observedi| and | Δ y | for a period of time T (T)>0) If | Δ xiIf not all the cutter motors (3002) fall back, all the cutter motors (3002) are braked after being reversely rotated, so that the cutter system (3) is out of cutting operation, and a protective backspacing instruction is sent to the flying platform (1);
3) a method for controlling a mechanical unhooking device (4):
A) when the unhooking device (4) receives an unhooking command of a main controller in the flight platform (1), an output rod of the linear steering engine (4102) extends to drive the bearing (4103) to move downwards, the bearing (4103) is in pressing contact with an upper plane of a transverse rod of the upper hook (4105) to push the upper hook (4105) to rotate clockwise, a hook at the lower end of the upper hook (4105) is separated from the lower hanging buckle (4202), and therefore mechanical unhooking of a part connected below the unhooking device (4) and a part connected above the unhooking device (4) is achieved, and meanwhile separation of an electrical interface is also achieved; then, the output rod of the linear steering engine (4102) is contracted, and the upper hook (4105) rotates anticlockwise to reset under the action of the tension spring (4104);
B) when in hanging, the lower hanging buckle (4202) moves upwards to squeeze the hook of the upper hook (4105) leftwards, the upper hook (4105) is pushed to rotate clockwise to give way, when the lower hanging buckle (4202) moves upwards to a proper position, the hook of the upper hook (4105) is quickly screwed into the square hole of the lower hanging buckle (4202), and therefore stable and reliable hanging between a component connected below the unhooking device (4) and a component connected above the unhooking device (4) is formed, and meanwhile connection of an electrical interface is also completed.
