Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in further detail below.
The flight controller of the rotor craft with the three electric rotors can only solve to obtain three rotating speed control quantities, and the control in the yaw direction is lacked, so that a new independent control quantity needs to be introduced to realize yaw control. In the related art of yaw control, essentially, control is mainly realized by rotating rotors, yaw control can be realized by tilting the tail rotor left and right, yaw control can be realized by controlling the two rotors on the front side to perform differential tilting, the two modes of controlling the rotating rotors are mostly verified and applied to small multi-rotor aircrafts, and the large multi-rotor aircrafts to which the mode can be applied are fewer and even not available on the large multi-rotor aircrafts.
The rotary wing is controlled in a mode of rotating the rotary wing, the whole tilting of the rotary wing is mostly realized by adopting a robot joint, and the control force required by the tilting is usually large due to overlarge rotary inertia during the tilting, so that the overlarge control force is difficult to bear by a common robot joint, and meanwhile, the control response of an aircraft body is extremely poor due to the overlarge inertia, the oscillation is easy to occur, and the expected flight attitude is difficult to realize; because yaw control needs to control three rotors of the aircraft to tilt, the response speed of a tilting motor is slower by more than two orders of magnitude compared with the response speed of other control quantities (namely other three rotating speed control quantities including the rotating speed of a right front side motor, the rotating speed of a left front side motor and the rotating speed of a rear side motor), and the flying attitude is difficult to timely recover and respond when interfered due to the slow response of the tilting control, the anti-interference capability of the aircraft is reduced, and the flying safety of the aircraft is further damaged; and because yaw control needs to control three rotors of the aircraft to tilt, the yaw control channel is seriously coupled with other channels (such as pitching, rolling, vertical and other control channels), so that the design difficulty of the flight controller is high, and the effect of the flight controller is poor.
One of the core ideas of the embodiment of the invention is that based on a yaw control mode of the airfoil, the airfoil is arranged on the outer sides of the two rotors at the front side, the control surfaces on the airfoil are controlled by using the steering engine so as to change the aerodynamic force of the airfoil under the action of rotor downwash, and the yaw moment around the center of mass is generated through differential deflection of the control surfaces at the two sides, so that the yaw control of the aircraft is realized, the decoupling of each control channel is realized while the fast and effective control of three-rotor yaw is realized, and the design difficulty of a control system is reduced. The steering engine can be used for driving a small control surface to generate large lifting force and further generate larger yawing moment, and the effect of control force can be amplified, so that the load burden of the steering engine is reduced, and the control effect is improved; meanwhile, the control speed of the steering engine is obviously higher than that of the tilting servo motor, and the rapid control can be realized, so that the dynamic response of the aircraft is ensured; in addition, the deflection of the control surface does not cause the change of force/moment on other degrees of freedom of the machine body, namely, the yaw control does not influence other control channels, and the decoupling control of each control channel can be realized, so that the design complexity of a control system is greatly reduced.
Referring to fig. 1, a flow chart of steps of an embodiment of a yaw control method according to the present invention is shown, and the method is applied to a flight controller of a rotorcraft, and may specifically include the following steps:
step 101, generating a control signal based on flight information of a rotorcraft in a non-equilibrium state;
in the embodiment of the invention, the aerodynamic force of the airfoil under the action of the rotor wing downwash flow can be changed by controlling the airfoil based on the yaw control mode of the airfoil, so that the yaw moment around the center of mass is generated based on the differential deflection of the airfoils on two sides, the yaw control of the aircraft is realized, the decoupling of each control channel is realized while the fast and effective control of the three-rotor-wing yaw is realized, and the design difficulty of a control system is reduced.
In one embodiment of the present invention, a control signal may be generated based on flight information of the rotorcraft in the unbalanced state, and the generated control signal may be mainly used to control the rotorcraft to generate a yaw moment in a preset yaw direction, and the yaw moment may be used to control the whole body of the rotorcraft to tilt, so as to perform yaw control on the rotorcraft in the unbalanced state based on the yaw moment.
In practical applications, the rotorcraft controlled based on the yaw moment is different from a common rotorcraft with three electric rotors, and two rotors of the rotorcraft can be provided with airfoils, and specifically, referring to fig. 2A to 2B, schematic installation diagrams of the airfoils provided by the embodiment of the present invention are shown.
As shown in fig. 2A, it may be a top view of an aircraft with wings installed on its rotor, and assuming that the rotorcraft is an electric three-rotor aircraft, it may include a left rotor, a right rotor, and a tail rotor, and at this time, wings may be installed mainly on the outer sides of two rotors on the front side of the aircraft, that is, left outer wings and right outer wings may be installed on the original left and right rotors of the aircraft, respectively. As shown in fig. 2B, it may be a rear view of an aircraft with a wing surface installed on its rotor, where the left outer wing and the right outer wing are installed with control surfaces respectively, and the control surfaces are mainly driven based on a steering engine, that is, the wing surface of the rotor is mainly realized based on the control surface on the steering engine driving wing surface of the rotorcraft.
And 102, controlling the wing surface of the rotor wing on the same side with the unbalanced state deflection direction to deflect towards a first direction and controlling the wing surface of the rotor wing on the opposite side with the unbalanced state deflection direction to deflect towards a second direction opposite to the first direction according to the control signal, and carrying out yaw control on the rotor wing aircraft in the unbalanced state.
The yaw moment may refer to a dynamic derivative of the yaw moment caused by rolling motion of the aircraft, and in the embodiment of the invention, the rolling motion of the aircraft can be represented as differential deflection control on two control surfaces.
The differential deflection control of the two control surfaces can be mainly realized by that when one side of the wing surface deflects in one direction, the wing surface on the other side needs to deflect in the other direction, and the deflection directions of the two wing surfaces are opposite.
Specifically, according to the yaw moment generated by the control signal, the control of the deflection of the wing surface of the non-equilibrium state deflection direction homolateral rotor wing to the first direction and the control of the deflection of the wing surface of the non-equilibrium state deflection direction contralateral rotor wing to the second direction opposite to the first direction can be realized on the basis of the control signal, so that the yaw control of the rotor craft in the non-equilibrium state can be realized on the basis of the control.
In an embodiment of the present invention, in the yaw control method for a rotorcraft, airfoils are installed on two side rotors of the rotorcraft, and a control signal generated from flight information of the rotorcraft in an unbalanced state controls the airfoils of the same side rotors to deflect in a first direction in a direction of unbalanced state deflection, and controls the airfoils of opposite side rotors in the direction of unbalanced state deflection to deflect in a second direction opposite to the first direction, so as to perform yaw control on the rotorcraft in the unbalanced state. The yaw control method is mainly based on the airfoils, the airfoils are respectively installed on the outer sides of the two rotors, aerodynamic force of the airfoils under the action of rotor downwash is changed through control over the airfoils, and yaw control of an aircraft is achieved based on differential deflection of the airfoils on two sides, so that yaw moment around a center of mass is generated, decoupling of control channels is achieved while three-rotor yaw is achieved, and design difficulty of a flight control system is reduced.
Referring to fig. 3, a flow chart illustrating steps of another embodiment of a yaw control method of the present invention is shown, which is applied to a flight controller of a rotorcraft, and may specifically include the following steps:
step 301, resolving to obtain control plane deflection information based on flight information of a rotor craft in a non-equilibrium state, and generating a control signal by adopting the control plane deflection information;
in one embodiment of the invention, wing surfaces can be arranged on the outer sides of two rotary wings at the front side, the control surfaces on the wing surfaces are controlled by a steering engine so as to change the aerodynamic force of the wing surfaces under the action of the rotor downwash, and the yaw moment around the center of mass is generated through the differential deflection of the control surfaces at the two sides, so that the yaw control of the aircraft is realized, and the control surfaces on the wing surfaces at the two sides are required to be controlled for the differential deflection of the control surfaces at the two sides.
The control of the control surfaces is mainly realized by control signals aiming at the control surfaces on two sides, and specific control signals can be generated based on flight information of the rotorcraft in a non-equilibrium state.
In practical application, the flight information of the rotorcraft in the unbalanced state may be acquired, the acquired flight information may include a remote controller instruction and sensor information, where the remote controller instruction may include, for example, an instruction to control the pitch, roll, rise or fall of the rotorcraft, the sensor information may include information related to the flight attitude of the rotorcraft detected by an acceleration sensor, a gyroscope sensor, and the like, a yaw virtual control quantity may be generated based on the remote controller instruction and the sensor information in the unbalanced state, at this time, the yaw virtual control quantity may be solved to obtain first control plane deflection information of a rotor on one side and second control plane deflection information of a rotor on the other side, and a control signal is generated by using the first control plane deflection information and the second control plane deflection information, that is, the generated control signal may carry control plane deflection information of rotors on both sides, so as to control the rotors at two sides to perform differential tilting.
Specifically, referring to fig. 4, a schematic diagram of generating control surface deflection information according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, and the control surface deflection information may be divided into a controller and a hybrid controller in flight control of an entire aircraft, where the controller may be configured to receive a remote controller instruction and sensor information, and generate virtual control quantities of four channels, including a vertical virtual control quantity, a roll virtual control quantity, a pitch virtual control quantity, and a yaw virtual control quantity; the virtual control quantity can generate 5 actual control quantities through the hybrid controller, wherein the actual control quantities comprise the rotating speed of a right front side motor, the rotating speed of a left front side motor, the rotating speed of a rear side motor, a left control surface deflection angle and a right control surface deflection angle. It should be noted that the calculation of the rotation speeds of the three motors only depends on the virtual control amount of vertical/roll/pitch (not a one-to-one correspondence), and the yaw angles of the left control surface and the right control surface only depend on the virtual control amount of yaw.
The first control plane deflection information of the rotor on one side obtained by resolving the yaw virtual control quantity and the second control plane deflection information of the rotor on the other side can be in an opposite number relationship, and the control plane deflection information obtained by resolving based on the yaw virtual control quantity can be represented as a deflection angle, namely the first control plane deflection information can comprise a first control plane deflection angle, the second control plane deflection information can comprise a second control plane deflection angle, so that the left control plane deflection angle and the right control plane deflection angle can be in an opposite number relationship, namely the sum of the first control plane deflection angle and the second control plane deflection angle is zero. The first control surface deflection angle can be expressed as a left control surface deflection angle, and the second control surface deflection angle can be expressed as a right control surface deflection angle.
Let θ beleftFor left rudder surface deflection angle, thetarightFor the right control surface deflection angle, Ctr _ yaw is a yaw virtual control quantity, and the basic numerical relation that the left control surface deflection angle and the right control surface deflection angle conform to can be as follows:
θleft=Ctr_yaw
θright=-Ctr_yaw
it should be noted that, in practical solution, the linear correspondence is not so simple, and a nonlinear correspondence is obtained according to theoretical analysis, but θleftIs always in conjunction with thetarightIn an inverse relationship, i.e. the sum of the two is 0, e.g. left rudder surfaceAnd 5deg is deflected, the right control surface can be deflected by-5 deg, and the signs of the two can be used for indicating that the deflection directions of the two are opposite.
Step 302, generating a yawing moment in a yawing direction opposite to the unbalanced deflection direction according to the control signal;
the generated control signal can be mainly used for controlling the rotary wing aircraft to generate a yaw moment with a preset yaw direction, and the yaw moment can be used for controlling the whole body of the aircraft to tilt so as to carry out yaw control on the rotary wing aircraft in a non-equilibrium state based on the yaw moment.
The yaw moment can refer to the dynamic derivative of the yaw moment caused by the rolling motion of the aircraft, and in the embodiment of the invention, the rolling motion of the aircraft can be represented as differential deflection control of two control surfaces.
In practical application, the differential deflection control of the two control surfaces can be mainly realized by that when one side of the wing surface deflects in a certain direction, the wing surface on the other side needs to deflect in the other direction, and the deflection directions of the two wing surfaces are opposite.
Specifically, based on controlling the wing surface of the rotor wing on the same side to deflect towards a first direction and controlling the wing surface of the rotor wing on the other side to deflect towards a second direction opposite to the first direction, the yawing moment of the deflecting direction opposite to the unbalanced state deflecting direction is generated.
The first direction and/or the second direction are different from and not opposite to the unbalanced state deflection direction, and the yawing moment in the deflection direction opposite to the unbalanced state deflection direction realizes the differential deflection control of the control surfaces at two sides, and mainly provides the lift force opposite to the deflection direction of the deflected wing surface through the deflected wing surface to generate. In particular, it may be embodied that a yaw moment in a yaw direction opposite to the unbalanced state deflection direction is generated by a first lift force opposite to the first direction provided by the airfoil deflecting in the first direction and by a second lift force opposite to the second direction provided by the airfoil deflecting in the second direction.
As an example, when the attitude of the aircraft is deflected left from a balanced state, i.e., the rotorcraft is in an unbalanced state such that the rotorcraft is deflected left from the balanced state, the airfoil surface of the left rotor may be controlled to deflect in a first direction, and controlling the wing of the right rotor to deflect towards a second direction opposite to the first direction, generating a yaw moment deflecting towards the right, wherein the first direction can be backward, the second direction can be forward, then the control surface on the left outer wing can be controlled to deflect backward, the control surface on the right outer wing can be controlled to deflect forward, so that the left outer wing generates forward lift force and the right outer wing generates backward lift force under the action of the rotor wing downwash, therefore, right yaw moment is generated on the body center of the rotor craft, the body of the rotor craft is restored to a balanced state, and yaw control is achieved.
As yet another example, when the attitude of the aircraft is deflected to the right from a balanced state, i.e., the rotorcraft is in an unbalanced state, and the rotorcraft is deflected to the right from the balanced state, the airfoil of the right-hand rotor may be controlled to deflect in a first direction, and controlling the wing of the left rotor to deflect towards a second direction opposite to the first direction, generating a yaw force deflecting towards the left, wherein the first direction can be backward, the second direction can be forward, then the control surface on the left outer wing can be controlled to deflect forward, the control surface on the right outer wing can be controlled to deflect backward, so that the left outer wing generates backward lift force and the right outer wing generates forward lift force under the action of the rotor wing downwash, therefore, a leftward yawing moment is generated on the mass center of the body, so that the body of the rotor craft is restored to a balanced state, and yawing control is realized.
And step 303, controlling the rotor craft in the unbalanced state to recover to the balanced state by adopting a yawing moment in a yawing direction opposite to the unbalanced state deflection direction, so as to realize yawing control of the rotor craft.
The yawing moment can be used for controlling the tilting of the whole aircraft body of the aircraft, specifically, the yawing moment in the deflection direction opposite to the unbalanced state deflection direction can be adopted to control the differential deflection of the control surfaces on two sides to generate the yawing moment around the center of mass, and the yawing control of the aircraft is realized.
The yaw control that is performed may be embodied as controlling the return of the rotorcraft in an unbalanced state to a balanced state.
In a preferred embodiment, the airfoil surface of the rotor is mainly realized based on a control surface on a steering engine driving airfoil surface of a rotorcraft, namely, the yaw control of the rotorcraft can be controlled by a flight controller of the rotorcraft, but the rotation of the control surface on the airfoil surface is particularly driven by the steering engine, namely, the flight controller can obtain a control signal sent to the steering engine by calculation based on the flight attitude of the rotorcraft.
In practical application, the flight controller judges that the current flight attitude deflects leftwards/rightwards from a balanced state based on a remote controller instruction and sensor information, then a left control surface deflection angle and a right control surface deflection angle can be obtained through resolving according to a steering engine yaw control quantity, and a control signal carrying information of the left control surface deflection angle and the right control surface deflection angle is transmitted to the steering engine so as to be used for controlling the aircraft to generate a yaw moment to the right/left. The method specifically comprises the steps that according to the deflection angle of a left control surface and the deflection angle of a right control surface, the control surfaces on the left outer side wing are respectively controlled to deflect forwards, and the control surfaces on the right outer side wing are controlled to deflect backwards to obtain a left yawing moment; or the control surface on the left outer wing deflects backwards, the control surface on the right outer wing is controlled to deflect forwards to obtain a right yaw moment, and then the rotor craft in the unbalanced state is controlled to recover to the balanced state based on the generated yaw moment, so that the yaw control of the rotor craft is realized.
In the embodiment of the invention, the steering engine can be used for driving the small control surface to generate large lifting force and further generate larger yawing moment, so that the effect of control force can be amplified, the load burden of the steering engine is reduced, and the control effect is improved; meanwhile, the control speed of the steering engine is obviously higher than that of the tilting servo motor, and the rapid control can be realized, so that the dynamic response of the aircraft is ensured; in addition, the deflection of the control surface does not cause the change of force/moment on other degrees of freedom of the machine body, namely, the yaw control does not influence other control channels, and the decoupling control of each control channel can be realized, so that the design complexity of a control system is greatly reduced.
