It should be noted that fig. 1 only shows a few control surfaces of the drone 100 by way of example, and in other embodiments, other control surfaces or a greater number of control surfaces may be included.
The drone 100 further comprises a control device 10 provided at the fuselage, as shown in fig. 3, the control device 10 comprising a main controller 11, at least one control surface control structure 12 (only one control surface control structure is shown in fig. 3) and an angle detection module 13. The control surface control structure 12 includes a drive controller 121, a drive mechanism 122, a transmission mechanism 123 and a control surface transmission shaft 124. The driving controller 121 is electrically connected to the main controller 11 and the driving mechanism 122, the driving mechanism is further connected to a control surface transmission shaft 124 through a transmission mechanism 123, and the control surface transmission shaft 124 is disposed on the control surface shown in fig. 1 or fig. 2.

The first angle detecting unit 131 may detect an angle of the control surface, and the second angle detecting unit 132 may detect an angle of the fixed surface, and by detecting the two angles, an angle change of the control surface, that is, an actual tilting angle of the control surface may be obtained.
Among them, in some embodiments, the first angle detecting unit 131 and the second angle detecting unit 132 are present in pairs, i.e., the number of both is the same. In the paired first angle detecting unit and second angle detecting unit, the first angle detecting unit 131 is disposed on the control surface, and the second angle detecting unit 132 is disposed on the fixed surface on which the control surface is located. In other embodiments, the number of the first angle detecting units 131 and the number of the second angle detecting units 132 may be different, the first angle detecting units are respectively disposed on the control surfaces to be controlled, only one second angle detecting unit 132 is disposed on one fixing surface, and the angles of the other fixing surfaces may be obtained according to the position relationship with the fixing surface.

The operation of the driving mechanism 122 drives the transmission mechanism 123 to operate, the transmission mechanism 123 drives the control surface transmission shaft 124 to rotate, and the control surface transmission shaft 124 drives the control surface to tilt. After the control surface tilts, the angle of the control surface can be obtained through the first angle detection unit 131, and then the angle change of the control surface, namely the actual tilting angle of the control surface, can be obtained according to the angle of the corresponding fixed surface.
Through set up first angle detecting element on unmanned aerial vehicle's control plane, set up second angle detecting element on unmanned aerial vehicle's stationary plane, main control unit can be according to first angle detecting element with the signal that second angle detecting element detected obtains the actual angle of verting of control plane. Therefore, the main controller can realize accurate and effective control on the control surface according to the actual tilting angle of the control surface. For example, a control plane tilting control instruction is adjusted according to the actual tilting angle of the control plane, the attitude of each control plane is self-checked before the unmanned aerial vehicle takes off, and the like.
In other embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the control surface control structure 12 further includes an angle feedback unit 125, the angle feedback unit 125 is connected to the control surface transmission shaft 124, and the angle feedback unit 125 is further electrically connected to the driving controller 121.

The angle feedback unit 125 sends the generated feedback signal to the driving controller 121, and the driving controller 121 controls the driving mechanism to operate according to the control surface tilting control command sent by the main controller 11 and the feedback signal.
Wherein the drive controller 121 may adjust the control of the drive mechanism 122 according to said feedback signal received by the drive controller 121. For example, closed loop control may be performed based on the control surface tilt control command and the feedback signal. The main controller 11 can adjust the control surface tilting control command according to the actual control surface tilting angle obtained by the main controller 11. For example, closed-loop control can be performed according to the target tilting angle of the control surface and the actual tilting angle of the control surface. Main controller 11 can also be based on the signal that first angle detecting element and second angle detecting element sent carries out the self-checking to each control surface control structure before unmanned aerial vehicle 100 takes off, for example main controller 11 sends control surface tilting control command to drive controller 121 according to the control surface target angle of tilting earlier, and drive controller 21 controls the back to the actuating mechanism that corresponds, and main controller 11 obtains the actual angle of tilting of control surface through the signal that first angle detecting element and second angle detecting element sent. If the actual tilting angle of the control surface accords with the target tilting angle of the control surface, the operation of the corresponding control surface control structure is normal, otherwise, the control surface control structure is considered to be abnormal.
Specifically, in some embodiments, the driving mechanism 122 may employ a motor, such as a brush motor, a brushless motor, a dc motor, a stepper motor, an ac induction motor, and the like. Drive mechanism 123 can be the gear assembly, and main control unit 11 can adopt the controller that sets up alone, also can utilize unmanned aerial vehicle's flight control chip. The angle feedback unit 125 may be a potentiometer or other device that can be connected to the control surface transmission shaft and generate a variable signal as the control surface transmission shaft rotates. The first angle detection unit and the second angle detection unit are Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs).
The potentiometer generally comprises a resistor body and a movable brush, when the brush moves along the resistor body, the resistance value of the resistor body changes along with the displacement of the brush, and a resistance value or a voltage value which has a certain relation with the displacement can be obtained at the output end of the potentiometer. In practical application, the brush of the potentiometer is connected with the control surface transmission shaft 124, and when the control surface transmission shaft 124 rotates, the brush of the potentiometer also rotates, so that the voltage of the output pin of the potentiometer changes. After receiving the control surface tilting control instruction of the main controller 11, the driving controller 121 drives the motor to rotate according to the control surface tilting control instruction, and the motor drives the control surface transmission shaft to rotate through the torque transmission of the gear assembly after rotating, so as to drive the control surface to change the angle. And when the control surface transmission shaft rotates, the potentiometer can be driven to rotate, and then the voltage at the output end of the potentiometer is changed. The angle change of the control surface can be calculated according to the change of the voltage, so that the actual tilting angle of the control surface is obtained.
