DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are just a part, instead of all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure. The following description of at least one of the exemplary embodiments is actually merely illustrative, and is not meant to be limitation on the present disclosure and its application or use in any way. All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without paying creative efforts are within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

The inventors analyze the process of opening the parachute by the UAV in the prior art. In the prior art, a flight control system detects a flight state of a UAV by means of a sensor of the flight control system itself. When the flight control system determines that the UAV is in an unstable state, the flight control system controls the parachute to open. However, the way that the UAV opens the parachute in the prior art has a hidden danger of safety. On one hand, a sensor of the flight control system may fail, or a large error may occur in the detection process, so that the flight control system cannot accurately determine that the UAV is in an unstable state; on the other hand, even if the sensor of the flight control system accurately determines that the UAV is in an unstable state, the flight control system may still fail to open the parachute timely.

Based on the analysis, the inventors innovatively design a parachute system of a UAV. The parachute system of the UAV can detect a flight state of the UAV independently from the flight control system and control the parachute to open when the UAV is in a unstable state, thus improving the safety of the UAV.

Some embodiments of the parachute system of a UAV provided by the present disclosure are described below with reference to FIG. 1.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of some embodiments of a parachute system of a UAV of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the parachute system of the UAV in these embodiments includes: a sensor 102, a controller 104, and a parachute 106, wherein the controller 104 is electrically connected with the sensor 102 and the parachute 106, respectively, and the sensor 102 is configured to detect a flight state of the UAV. The direction of the sensor 102 can be aligned with the direction of the sensor of the flight control system such that the indicator detected by the sensor 102 is the same as the indicator detected by the sensor of the flight control system. The controller 104 is configured to obtain the flight state of the UAV from the sensor 102 and control the parachute to open when the UAV is in an unstable state.

The operation process of the parachute system of the UAV 10 is as follows:

(1) the controller 104 detects a height of the UAV relative to a ground and controls the sensor 102 to be turned on when the height of the UAV relative to the ground is greater than a preset height.

For example, the controller may control sensor to be turned on when the height of the UAV relative to the ground is greater than 10 m. The purpose that the controller controls the turning on of the sensor according to the height of the UAV relative to the ground is to prevent the controller from misjudging that the UAV is in an unstable state. During the transfer of the UAV near the ground, the state of the UAV's fuselage may be different from that during the steady flight; the rate of change of the height of the UAV is greater during an autonomous rising or descending process. If the sensor is in an on state, the controller may misjudge that the UAV is in an unstable state.

(2) The sensor 102 detects a flight state of the UAV.

For example, the sensor 102 may detect a pitch angle and a roll angle of the UAV. For another example, the sensor 102 may detect a height of the UAV.

(3) The controller 104 obtains the flight state of the UAV from the sensor 102 and determines whether the UAV is in an unstable state.

For instance, the controller may determine whether an arithmetic square root of the sum of squares of the pitch angle and the roll angle of the UAV is greater than or equal to a preset angle or not, and determine that the UAV is in an unstable state when the arithmetic square root is greater than or equal to the preset angle. That is, the logic of the controller for determining the instability of the UAV can be formula (1):

√{square root over (φ_p²γ_p²)}≥70°  (1)

wherein φ_p is the pitch angle of the UAV acquired by the sensor 102, and γ_p is the roll angle of the UAV acquired by the sensor 102.

Alternatively, the controller may determine whether the rate of change of the height of the UAV is greater than a preset value or not, and determine that the UAV is in an unstable state when the rate of change of the height is greater than the preset value. That is, the logic of the controller for determining the instability of the UAV can be formula (2):

Δ{dot over (H)}_p>10 m/s  (2)

wherein Δ{dot over (H)}_p is a rate of change of the height calculated by the controller according to the height acquired by the sensor 102.

Optionally, the controller 104 may determine continuously within a continuous time period of 0.3 s. When one of the formulas (1) or (2) is satisfied within 0.3 s, the controller 104 determines that the UAV is unstable. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the sensor 102 may collect other state indicators of the UAV, and the controller may use a combination of the state indicators as logic for determining instability of the UAV.

(4) The controller 104 controls the parachute to open.

After determining that the UAV is in an unstable state, the controller may first control the propeller to stop rotating and control the parachute to open after an interval of a certain time period (such as 0.2 seconds). The parachute is opened after the propeller is controlled to stop rotating, so that the interference of the propeller to the parachute in the opening process can be effectively avoided, and safe opening of the parachute is ensured

In some embodiments, the controller may wait for a period of time (e.g., 0.5 seconds) after determining that the UAV is in an unstable state. During this time period, the flight control system detects the flight state of the UAV. If the flight control system also detects that the UAV is in an unstable state, the flight control system may control the parachute to open. If the flight control system still does not detect the instability of the UAV after reaching 0.5 seconds, the controller controls to open the parachute.

In the above embodiment, the parachute system can detect the flight state of the UAV independently from the flight control system and control the parachute to open when the UAV is in a unstable state, thus improving the safety of the UAV.

Some embodiments of a control system of a UAV provided by the present disclosure are described below with reference to FIG. 2.

FIG. 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of some embodiments of a control system of a UAV in the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the control system of the UAV 20 in these embodiments comprises a parachute system of the UAV 10 and a flight control system 202. Wherein the flight control system 202 and the parachute system of the UAV 10 communicate with each other through a serial port, and the flight control system 202 is configured to control the parachute to open when detecting that the UAV is in an unstable state.

For example, when the parachute system of the UAV 10 determines that the UAV is unstable, the parachute system of the UAV 10 sends a command that “the parachute system detects the instability of the UAV” to the flight control system 202. Within 0.5 s after that, if the command that “the flight control system detects the instability of the UAV” sent by the flight control system is still not received, the parachute system of the UAV 10 sends an “open the parachute” command to the flight control system 202 through a serial port, and the flight control system 202 stops the rotation of the propeller after receiving the command of “open the parachute”, and controls the parachute to open after 0.2 s.

In the above embodiment, it can be seen that, in the control system of the UAV, the parachute system of the UAV and the flight control system are two systems independent from each other. The parachute system of the UAV and the flight control system can both detect the flight state of the UAV independently from each other, and they can also control the parachute to open independently from each other, thus improving the safety of the UAV.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 has described the state detection of the UAV and the parachute opening process in detail from the side of the parachute system of the UAV 10. The following content describes the state detection of the UAV and the parachute opening process from the side of the flight control system 202 with reference to FIG. 3, which specifically includes the following steps:

(1) The flight control system detects the state of the UAV by means of a sensor of the flight control system itself to determine whether the UAV is unstable or not.

Wherein when UAV is near the ground, the flight control system does not determine whether UAV is in unstable state. After the UAV takes off, when the height relative to the ground is greater than 10 meters, the flight control system determines whether the UAV is in an unstable state or not, and sends a message of “start the state detection” to the parachute system of the UAV 10 through a serial port. After receiving the instruction signal, the parachute system starts the logic for determining the instability of the UAV.

Wherein the logic that the flight control system determines the instability of the UAV may be formula (3) or (4),

√{square root over (Δφ₁²+Δγ₁²)}≥70°  (3)

Δ{dot over (H)}₁>10 m/s  (4)

wherein Δφ₁ is a pitch angle deviation of the UAV calculated by the flight control system, Δγ₁ is a roll angle deviation of the UAV calculated by the flight control system, and Δ{dot over (H)}₁ is a rate of change of the height of the UAV calculated by the flight control system.

Similarly, the flight control system determines continuously within a continuous time period of 0.3 s, and when one of the formulas (3) or (4) is satisfied within 0.3 s, the flight control system determines that the UAV is unstable.

(2) When detecting that the UAV is in an unstable state, the flight control system controls to open the parachute.

When the UAV works stably, the flight control system does not send a control command to the parachute system through a serial port. When the flight control system determines that the UAV is unstable, the parachute system continues to determine whether the UAV is in an unstable state. If the flight control system receives a command of “the parachute system detects the instability of the UAV” sent by the parachute system, namely, the flight control system and the parachute determine the instability of the UAV at the same time, the flight control system sends a command of the propeller stopping rotating and sends a command of “open the parachute” at an interval of 0.2 s to execute the parachute opening operation.

If the flight control system does not receive a command of “the parachute system detects the instability of the UAV” sent by the parachute system within 0.5 s after determining the instability of the UAV, the flight control system sends a command of the propeller stopping rotating and sends a command of “open the parachute” at an interval of 0.2 s to execute the parachute opening operation.

The safety protection method of the UAV of some embodiments of the present disclosure is described below with reference to FIG. 3.

FIG. 3 shows a flow chart illustrating some embodiments of the safety protection method of a UAV in the present disclosure. As illustrated by FIG. 3, the safety protection method of the UAV of the embodiment comprises steps S302 and S304.

In step S302, the parachute system detects the flight state of the UAV.

For example, the parachute system detects a pitch angle and a roll angle of the UAV, and then determines whether an arithmetic square root of a sum of squares of the pitch angle and the roll angle of the UAV is greater than or equal to a preset angle or not, and determines that the UAV is in an unstable state when the arithmetic square root is greater than or equal to the preset angle.

For another example, the parachute system detects the height of the UAV, and then determines whether a rate of change of the height of the UAV is greater than a preset value, and determines that the UAV is in an unstable state when the rate of change of the height is greater than a preset value.

In step S304, the parachute system controls the parachute to open when the UAV is in an unstable state.

Optionally, the parachute system waits fora first preset time when the UAV is in an unstable state, and if the flight control system still does not detect the instability of the UAV after the first preset time is reached, the parachute is controlled to be opened.

Optionally, the parachute system controls the propeller to stop rotating and controls the parachute to open after an interval of a second preset time.

In the above embodiment, the parachute system can detect a flight state of the UAV independently from the flight control system and control the parachute to open when the UAV is in a unstable state, thus improving the safety of the UAV.

In the above embodiment, the parachute system controls whether to start the detection of the flight state of the UAV according to the height of the UAV relative to the ground, so that the controller can be effectively prevented from misjudging that the UAV is in an unstable state.
