When the landing gear is completely stowed, the unmanned aerial vehicle starts to work. For example, the photographing device carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle starts to collect images.
7)当无人飞行器作业完毕后,无人飞行器飞往预设降落点,当无人飞行器到达预设降落点时,并不立即降落,而是控制设备根据飞行控制器发送的起落架的状态信息,持续监测起落架的状态,如果起落架处于完全收起状态,或者,起落架处于完全收起状态和完全释放状态之间的状态,则控制设备向飞行控制器发送控制指令,所述控制指令用于控制所述起落架释放,当起落架释放后,控制设备才向飞行控制器发送降落指令,从而飞行控制器控制无人飞行器在预设降落点开始向地面降落。7) When the unmanned aerial vehicle is completed, the unmanned aerial vehicle flies to the preset landing point.

步骤S402、根据所述控制指令控制所述无人飞行器的形态。Step S402, controlling the form of the UAV according to the control instruction.
具体的,所述根据所述控制指令控制所述无人飞行器的形态,包括:对所述控制指令进行合法性检测;若所述控制指令合法,则根据所述控制指令控制所述无人飞行器的形态。Specifically, the controlling the form of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the control instruction comprises: performing legality detection on the control instruction; and if the control instruction is legal, controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the control instruction Shape.
当飞行控制器接收到控制设备发送的控制指令后,对该控制指令进行合法性检测,具体可以从如下几个方面进行检测:After the flight controller receives the control command sent by the control device, it checks the legality of the control command, which can be detected from the following aspects:
一个方面,检测控制指令包括的活动部件的标识信息是否为无人飞行器支持的活动部件的标识信息。通常情况下,固定翼无人飞行器设置有扰流板,多旋翼无人飞行器没有扰流板,如果当前的无人飞行器是多旋翼无人飞行器,控制设备发送给飞行控制器的控制指令中却包括扰流板的标识信息,则飞行控制器确定该控制指令不适用于当前机型,确定该控制指令是不合法的。In one aspect, it is detected whether the identification information of the active component included in the control instruction is identification information of the active component supported by the UAV. Normally, the fixed-wing UAV is equipped with a spoiler, and the multi-rotor UAV has no spoiler. If the current UAV is a multi-rotor UAV, the control device sends the control command to the flight controller. Including the identification information of the spoiler, the flight controller determines that the control command is not applicable to the current model, and determines that the control command is illegal.
另一方面,检测控制指令包括的所述活动部件的目标状态信息是否为所述活动部件支持的目标状态信息,例如,降落伞的目标状态可以包括:打开状态、关闭状态,不存在介于打开状态和关闭状态之间的状态。如果控制指令包括降落伞的标识信息,也包括介于打开状态和关闭状态之间的状态,则确定该控制指令是不合法的。On the other hand, detecting whether the target state information of the active component included in the control instruction is the target state information supported by the active component, for example, the target state of the parachute may include: an open state, a closed state, and no open state The state between the closed state and the closed state. If the control command includes the identification information of the parachute, and also includes the state between the open state and the closed state, it is determined that the control command is illegal.
再一方面,检测控制指令包括的控制所述活动部件运动的速度否为所述活动部件支持的形变速度,例如,起落架能够支持的最大的形变速度是15度/秒,如果控制指令包括的控制起落架的速度大于15度/秒,则确定该控制指令是不合法的。同理,如果控制指令包括的控制起落架的速度小于起落架能够支持的最小的形变速度,则确定该控制指令是不合法的。 In still another aspect, detecting, by the control command, a speed at which the movement of the movable member is controlled is a deformation speed supported by the movable member, for example, a maximum deformation speed that the landing gear can support is 15 degrees/second, if the control command includes If the speed of the landing gear is controlled to be greater than 15 degrees/second, it is determined that the control command is illegal. Similarly, if the speed of the control landing gear included in the control command is less than the minimum deformation speed that the landing gear can support, then it is determined that the control command is illegal.
当飞行控制器确定控制指令不合法时,可以丢弃该控制指令,也可以向控制设备发送反馈信息,所述反馈信息用于提示所述控制指令不合法。When the flight controller determines that the control command is invalid, the control command may be discarded, and the feedback information may be sent to the control device, where the feedback information is used to prompt the control command to be illegal.
当所述控制指令合法时,飞行控制器控制该控制指令指示的活动部件运动,以控制所述无人飞行器的形态。When the control command is legal, the flight controller controls the movement of the moving part indicated by the control command to control the shape of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
需要注意的是:当所述控制指令合法时,飞行控制器也可以不执行该控制指令,例如,无人飞行器位于地面,且无人飞行器的起落架处于释放状态,如果飞行控制器接收到控制设备发送的控制指令用于控制起落架收起,则飞行控制器可以不执行该控制指令。It should be noted that when the control command is legal, the flight controller may not execute the control command, for example, the UAV is located on the ground, and the landing gear of the UAV is released, if the flight controller receives the control. The control command sent by the device is used to control the landing gear to be stowed, and the flight controller may not execute the control command.
本实施例通过飞行控制器接收控制设备发送的控制指令,所述控制指令是所述控制设备根据无人飞行器的状态信息确定的,并根据所述控制指令控制所述无人飞行器的形态。这样,可以实现根据无人飞行器的状态信息来控制无人飞行器的形态,克服由飞行控制器统一控制不能适用于较多的场景需求、控制方式固定且单一的缺陷,同时克服了由用户通过控制终端控制容易导致误操作、漏操作等缺陷,能够覆盖更多的场景需求,而且不需要用户参与,提高无人飞行器的形态控制的灵活性和智能化程度。In this embodiment, the flight controller receives a control command sent by the control device, where the control command is determined by the control device according to the state information of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and controls the form of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the control command. In this way, it is possible to control the shape of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the state information of the unmanned aerial vehicle, overcome the defect that the unified control by the flight controller cannot be applied to more scenes, and the control mode is fixed and single, and overcome the control by the user. Terminal control is easy to cause defects such as misoperation and leakage operation, which can cover more scene requirements, and does not require user participation, and improves the flexibility and intelligence of the shape control of the UAV.
