There will still be some errors in determining the landing position by GPS and RTK technology of UAV. In order to reduce the landing position error, this embodiment reduces the charging power of UAV, detects the output voltage of wireless charging coupling mechanism when UAV is at different positions with the same preset height above the wireless charging platform, and takes the position corresponding to the maximum output voltage as the landing place of UAV. In this way, the UAV is assisted in positioning, and the landing accuracy of UAV is improved. The embodiment provides a method for adjusting the landing accuracy of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based on a wireless charging coupling mechanism. The wireless charging coupling mechanism comprises a primary circuit structure arranged inside a wireless charging platform and a secondary circuit structure arranged inside the UAV, wherein the primary circuit structure comprises a primary transmitting coil and the secondary circuit structure comprises a secondary 03024 receiving coil; As shown in Figure 1, when the primary transmitting coil and the secondary receiving coil are coupled with each other, the primary transmitting coil wirelessly transmits electric energy to the secondary receiving coil, so that the wireless charging platform can wirelessly charge the UAV. The primary circuit structure includes a power supply (Udc in Figure 1), a full-bridge inverter (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 in Figure 1), a set of primary resonance compensation networks (L1p, Clp, C2p in Figure 1), and a primary transmitting coil (L1 in Figure 1) connected in sequence. The secondary circuit structure includes a secondary receiving coil (L2 in
Figure 1), a secondary resonance compensation network (CIS in Figure 1), a rectifying and filtering circuit (four diodes in Figure 1 and a capacitor to the right of the diodes) and a load (RL in Figure 1) which are connected in sequence. Optionally, in this embodiment, the primary transmitting coil is a planar square coil, and the secondary receiving coil is a solenoid coil.
As shown in fig. 2, the UAV landing accuracy adjustment method includes:
S1, when the unmanned aerial vehicle flies back to the wireless charging platform, the primary transmitting coil is controlled to be energized, and the unmanned aerial vehicle is controlled to enter a landing position searching mode, wherein the landing position searching mode comprises reducing the charging power of the unmanned aerial vehicle to a first preset power threshold.
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flies back to the wireless charging platform through GPS and
RTK technology, and the UAV sends a power-on signal to the wireless charging platform. After receiving the power-on signal from UAV, the wireless charging platform energizes the primary circuit structure to realize that the primary transmitting coil can work. And the UAV enters the landing position searching mode, that is, the charging power of the UAV is reduced to the first preset power threshold.
Optionally, in this embodiment, when the UAV is in the wireless charging mode, the charging power is the second preset power threshold, that is, the second preset power threshold is the charging power when the UAV lands on the wireless charging platform for normal wireless charging. Optionally, in this embodiment, the value range of the first preset power threshold includes 20% to 30% of the second preset power threshold. When the charging power of the
UAV is the first preset power threshold, the UAV can't perform normal and efficient wireless LUS03024 charging.
Optionally, in this embodiment, when the UAV flies back to the wireless charging platform, it is first detected whether the height of the UAV from the wireless charging platform is equal to a preset height threshold; If yes, the primary transmitting coil is controlled to be energized, and the unmanned aerial vehicle is controlled to enter a landing position searching mode; otherwise, the unmanned aerial vehicle is controlled to land at a position which is equal to a preset height threshold from the wireless charging platform. Optionally, in this embodiment, the preset height threshold can be set according to actual requirements, such as 10cm, 9cm, 8cm, etc.
S2, controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly at the same preset height above the wireless charging platform according to a preset trajectory strategy, and obtaining the output voltage of the secondary circuit structure in the flight process to determine a target output voltage, wherein the target output voltage is equal to the output voltage when the preset maximum output voltage value is reached.
The output voltage is equal to the preset maximum output voltage value;
The output voltage of the secondary circuit structure is the voltage UL of the load RL in fig. 1.
Optionally, in this embodiment, the preset height is equal to the preset height threshold, for example, when the preset height threshold is 10cm, the preset height is also 10cm.
The preset maximum output voltage value is stored in the UAV in advance. During the flight of the UAV at the same preset altitude above the wireless charging platform according to the preset trajectory strategy, the output voltage of the secondary circuit structure collected at different positions is continuously compared with the preset maximum output voltage value until the position corresponding to the target output voltage is found.
Optionally, in one embodiment, controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly at the same preset altitude above the wireless charging platform according to the preset trajectory strategy includes controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly at the same preset altitude above the wireless charging platform along the preset traverse trajectory until the position corresponding to the target output voltage is found. By using GPS and RTK technology, the UAV flies back to the wireless charging platform, and the positioning error has been controlled at centimeter level. ot 503024 this basis, the range of the preset traversal trajectory can also be set to be smaller, thus shortening the time for finding the position corresponding to the target output voltage. The preset traversal trajectory can be a continuous round trip along the Z-shaped route, a positive Z-shaped path or a
Z-shaped path rotated by 90 degrees. The UAV flies at the same preset height above the wireless charging platform along the preset traversal trajectory, and stops searching after finding the position corresponding to the target output voltage.
Optionally, in another embodiment, controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly at the same preset altitude above the wireless charging platform according to the preset trajectory strategy includes controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly at the same preset altitude above the wireless charging platform from the current position, and the flying altitude is at the same preset altitude above the wireless charging platform until the position corresponding to the target output voltage is found. The UAV flies back to the wireless charging platform through GPS and RTK technology, and the positioning error has been controlled in centimeter level at this time. On this basis, the range of the preset spiral trajectory can also be set smaller, shortening the time to find the position corresponding to the target output voltage. The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) starts to fly from the current position according to the preset spiral trajectory from inside to outside, and stops searching after finding the position corresponding to the target output voltage.
Optionally, in this embodiment, during the flight of the UAV, the output voltage can be continuously collected, or the output voltage can be collected at a preset time interval.
See fig. 3 and fig. 4. The UAV is suspended at a distance of 10cm from the wireless charging platform. The primary transmitting coil is a planar square coil, and the secondary receiving coil is a solenoid coil parallel to the Y direction. The UAV scans the whole wireless charging platform from the initial position. See Figure 3 for the relationship between output voltage and offset distance, and Figure 4 for the relationship between mutual inductance and offset distance between the primary transmitting coil and the secondary receiving coil. It can be seen from fig. 3 and fig. 4 that the larger the offset distance in the x direction, the smaller the mutual inductance and the smaller the output voltage; When the Y direction shifts, because the secondary receiving coil is a solenoid coil, when the primary transmitting coil coincides with the secondary receiving coil, the mutual inductance between the two coils is the largest, and the output voltage is the LUS03024 largest.
S3, controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to land on the wireless charging platform at the position corresponding to the target output voltage.
After the step S3 controls the unmanned aerial vehicle to land on the wireless charging platform at the position corresponding to the target output voltage, it further comprises:
S4, controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to return to a wireless charging mode from the landing position searching mode for wireless charging, wherein the wireless charging mode comprises adjusting the charging power of the unmanned aerial vehicle to a second preset power threshold; The second preset power threshold is the charging power when the UAV lands on the wireless charging platform for normal wireless charging.
Through the implementation of this embodiment, the position landing accuracy of the UAV is improved, the position deviation when the UAV lands can be greatly improved, the wireless charging efficiency of the UAV by the wireless charging platform is effectively improved, the energy loss is reduced, and the charging time is shortened.

If it is not equal to the preset height threshold, the UAV control module adjusts the height of the UAV from the wireless charging platform until the distance between them is equal to the preset height threshold. The preset height threshold can be set according to actual requirements, such as 10cm, 9cm, 8cm, etc.
Then, the UAV control module sends a power-on signal to the wireless charging platform LUS03024 through the second communication module and the first communication module, and the charging control module of the wireless charging platform receives the power-on signal sent by the UAV control module through the first communication module and then controls the primary circuit structure to be powered on, so that the primary transmitting coil can work.
The UAV control module controls the UAV to enter the landing position search mode, that is, the UAV control module reduces the charging power of the UAV to the first preset power threshold. When the UAV is in wireless charging mode, the charging power is the second preset power threshold, that is, the second preset power threshold is the charging power when the UAV lands on the wireless charging platform for normal wireless charging. The value range of the first preset power threshold includes 20% to 30% of the second preset power threshold. When the charging power of the UAV is the first preset power threshold, the UAV can't perform normal and efficient wireless charging.
The UAV control module controls the UAV to fly at the same preset height above the wireless charging platform according to the preset trajectory strategy, and obtains the output voltage of the secondary circuit structure in the flight process to determine the target output voltage, which is the output voltage when it is equal to the preset maximum output voltage value; The output voltage of the secondary circuit structure is the voltage UL of the load RL in fig. 1. In this embodiment, the preset height is equal to the preset height threshold, for example, when the preset height threshold is 10cm, the preset height is also 10cm.
A preset maximum output voltage value is stored in the UAV control module in advance, and the
UAV control module controls the UAV to continuously compare the output voltages of the secondary circuit structures collected at different positions with the preset maximum output voltage value in the process of flying at the same preset altitude above the wireless charging platform according to the preset trajectory strategy until the position corresponding to the target output voltage is found.
Optionally, in one embodiment, the UAV control module controls the UAV to fly at the same preset altitude above the wireless charging platform according to the preset trajectory strategy, including: the UAV flies at the same preset altitude above the wireless charging platform along the preset traversal trajectory until the position corresponding to the target output voltage is LUS03024 found. The UAV control module controls the UAV to fly back to the wireless charging platform through GPS and RTK technology. At this time, the positioning error has been controlled in centimeter level. On this basis, the range of the preset traversal trajectory can also be set to be smaller, thus shortening the time for finding the position corresponding to the target output voltage. The preset traversal trajectory can be a continuous round trip along the Z-shaped route, a positive Z-shaped trajectory, a Z-shaped trajectory rotated by 90 degrees, or a spiral trajectory from inside to outside. The UAV flies at the same preset height above the wireless charging platform along the preset traversal trajectory, and stops searching after finding the position corresponding to the target output voltage.
Optionally, in this embodiment, during the flight of the UAV, the UAV control module can continuously collect the output voltage or collect the output voltage at a preset time interval.
See fig. 3 and fig. 4. The UAV is suspended at a distance of 10cm from the wireless charging platform. The primary transmitting coil is a planar square coil, and the secondary receiving coil is a solenoid coil parallel to the Y direction. The UAV scans the whole wireless charging platform from the initial position. See Figure 3 for the relationship between output voltage and offset distance, and Figure 4 for the relationship between mutual inductance and offset distance between the primary transmitting coil and the secondary receiving coil. It can be seen from fig. 3 and fig. 4 that the larger the offset distance in the x direction, the smaller the mutual inductance and the smaller the output voltage; When the Y direction shifts, because the secondary receiving coil is a solenoid coil, when the primary transmitting coil coincides with the secondary receiving coil, the mutual inductance between the two coils is the largest, and the output voltage is the largest.
The UAV control module controls the UAV to land on the wireless charging platform at the position corresponding to the target output voltage.
Optionally, in this embodiment, after the UAV lands on the wireless charging platform at the position corresponding to the target output voltage, it further comprises: the UAV control module controls the UAV to return to the wireless charging mode from the landing position searching mode for wireless charging, and the wireless charging mode includes adjusting the LUS03024 charging power of the UAV to the second preset power threshold.
Through the implementation of this embodiment, the position landing accuracy of the UAV is improved, the position deviation when the UAV lands can be greatly improved, the wireless charging efficiency of the UAV by the wireless charging platform is effectively improved, the energy loss is reduced, and the charging time is shortened.
