Background
In recent years, the multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle has rapid development, simple structure, easy operation and flexible take-off and landing, and has wide development space in military and civil fields. However, with the diversification of application occasions and the complication of mission targets, higher requirements are put on the terrain-adapting capability, multi-machine cooperation capability and cruising capability of the unmanned system.
Traditional rotor unmanned aerial vehicle can only generally hover in the air, can fly well in open area, but its flight ability receives the influence of space environment complexity, is difficult to fly in complicated ground environment, for example be difficult to get into in the woods or the tunnel in the task of carrying out. For unmanned systems operating on the ground, although narrow terrain can be accessed, the speed of movement is relatively slow and the field of view is limited.
In order to improve the terrain adaptability of the unmanned system, Chinese patent CN110053435A provides a foldable amphibious quad-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle, but the mechanical structure is complicated, and the unmanned aerial vehicle is driven by a rotor in the air and driven by wheels on the ground, so that a land motor and a flying motor need to be loaded simultaneously, the redundancy of the power system is high, the weight of the unmanned aerial vehicle is increased, and the cruising ability is greatly reduced. In addition, this unmanned aerial vehicle also passes through wheel drive under the aquatic mode, and efficiency is lower. Chinese patent CN110171260A discloses an environmental information collection amphibious spherical robot, which adds a sphere-like outer frame outside the four rotors to make the four rotors roll on the ground, thus realizing the function of road-air amphibious. However, the robot can only move towards a specified direction on the ground and does not have the capability of omnidirectional movement of the spherical robot; the whole outer frame is spherical, and although the outer frame has the capability of restoring after being turned on one side to a certain extent, the gap between the frames is large, the outer frame is easy to clamp in special terrains, and the adaptability of the special terrains is poor.
In addition, the unmanned aerial vehicle cluster can meet the severe environment and better complete the task for increasingly complex task requirements and tasks with higher risks only by considering that the unmanned system monomer has amphibious or triphibious functions. For example, in military reconnaissance missions, a single unmanned aerial vehicle is likely to be knocked down or have faults, and the probability of obtaining information can be greatly improved by an unmanned aerial vehicle cluster; in a civil disaster relief task, the cluster can expand the search range, enhance the stability of data transmission and enable disaster-stricken personnel to be rescued earlier.
In conclusion, the existing rotor wing type unmanned aerial vehicle is weak in space environment adaptability, and although some unmanned aerial vehicles have the capability of multi-purpose through improvement, a lot of performances are sacrificed, and the multi-machine cooperation problem is not considered.

A plurality of magnetic connectors 61 can also be installed around the inner side of the upper housing 21 as required. In this embodiment, 6 unmanned aerial vehicles can inhale through respective magnetism and make up into the spheroid together by connecting piece 61, roll on the ground and advance.
In particular, as shown in fig. 3, the communication and wireless charging module 8 is arranged around the magnetic connector 61, so that a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles can exchange data in real time and realize power distribution management when combined.

In addition, the first connecting assembly 5 and the second connecting assembly 6 can also adopt a mechanical structure, so that stable connection is ensured, the condition that the connecting part is dislocated or even separated due to impact in a rolling mode is prevented, but the structure is complex, and the weight is increased.
The following describes the three working modes of the distributed multi-dwelling spherical unmanned system:
in the flight mode, the unmanned aerial vehicle can complete the flight by a single unmanned aerial vehicle or can complete the flight by a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles in formation, as shown in fig. 5. For each unmanned aerial vehicle, during normal flight, four waterproof motors 43 drive four paddles 41 respectively to provide power, and paddle wheel mechanism 42 and waterproof steering engine 44 do not work at this moment, and the manipulation mode is the same with ordinary four rotors, and the rotational speed of four waterproof motors 43 is controlled by rotor controller sending command control. When certain conditions occur, for example, the landing place collapses or falls accidentally to cause the unmanned aerial vehicle to roll over or overturn, the aerodynamic direction generated by the rotor wing faces the ground, and the unmanned aerial vehicle cannot automatically overturn by a method of changing the rotating speed. The method of changing the collective pitch can be adopted: waterproof steering wheel 44 drive oar dish mechanism 42 slides along waterproof motor 43 output shaft, and oar dish mechanism 42 reciprocates and has changed the angle of attack of paddle 1, and when oar dish mechanism 42 moved to the top, the rotor controller deadlocked waterproof steering wheel 44, and paddle 41 is the negative angle of attack this moment, produces the aerodynamic force in the opposite direction, makes unmanned aerial vehicle possess the ability of upset self-resuming. In particular, in order to reduce the overall structural weight of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the paddle mechanism 42 does not need to have a complete periodic pitch changing function like a helicopter, but only needs to have the capability of changing the total pitch.
When a cluttered environment needs to be entered or an enemy-evading aerial survey needs to be avoided, the six unmanned aerial vehicles can be combined into a spherical rolling mode to continue to perform tasks on the ground, as shown in fig. 6. Under the roll mode, each unmanned aerial vehicle is connected through a plurality of magnetism of second coupling assembling 6 and inhale connecting piece 61 between each unmanned aerial vehicle. When the six unmanned aerial vehicles are automatically combined into a sphere, one unmanned aerial vehicle firstly enables the body of the unmanned aerial vehicle to overturn through the differential speed of the rotor wings, and the shape-preserving outer frame 1 is in contact with the ground; in addition, the position coordinates of the magnetic suction connecting pieces 61 of the overturning unmanned aerial vehicles are acquired by the four unmanned aerial vehicles through the sensors (the unmanned aerial vehicles can be installed near the magnetic suction connecting pieces 61), the connecting controller plans the motion track of each unmanned aerial vehicle in the four unmanned aerial vehicles, wherein the motion track is constrained by the terminal angle, and a control command is output to the corresponding unmanned aerial vehicle. When any four unmanned aerial vehicles approach the tail end of the motion trail, the connection controller controls the plurality of magnetic suction connecting pieces 61 to be electrified to generate magnetic suction force, and the four unmanned aerial vehicles are sucked to corresponding positions and angles; and finally, the remaining unmanned aerial vehicle completes the combination of the spheres by the same method as the four unmanned aerial vehicles. From this, six unmanned aerial vehicles splice into the spheroid according to the mode of spheroid inscription regular polygon, no matter how the whole motion gesture, all can produce aerodynamic force and moment in the spherical all directions, and six unmanned aerial vehicles receive the task motion instruction of ground station simultaneously, and its waterproof motor 43's of position calculation control volume according to this unmanned aerial vehicle in the spheroid of rotor controller of each unmanned aerial vehicle. When the unmanned system needs to be decomposed into a flight mode from a rolling mode, the unmanned aerial vehicle positioned at the spherical bottom can be turned over in a pitch-variable mode.
In the sailing mode, the six unmanned aerial vehicles are sequentially connected and arranged in a torpedo-shaped structure in a superposition mode through the respective upper magnetic attraction connecting piece 51 and the lower magnetic attraction connecting piece 52, as shown in fig. 7. At this moment, make every unmanned aerial vehicle's displacement carry out the reaction torque to the rotor simultaneously more than the twice of its whole weight and adjust, can realize that every unmanned aerial vehicle always has half the rotor to float in the surface of water top, can realize controlling of torpedo column structure position in aqueous through the rotor of control surface of water top.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and improvements can be made to the embodiments of the present invention without departing from the inventive concept thereof, and these modifications and improvements are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
