Agricultural unmanned aerial vehicle control method

Abstract

An agricultural unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control method comprises an UAV. The UAV at least comprises a flight platform, a speed sensor, a spray system, a processor, and a plurality of positioning modules. The positioning modules surround a farmland at equal intervals to form an operation area. The method comprises the following steps: the positioning modules are arranged at equal intervals at the edge of a farmland to form an operation area; detection parameters are set for the UAV, including the interval value; the UAV flies at the position of one positioning module, and forms an operation area; and the UAV sprays pesticide from the starting position, the speed and position needing turning are calculated according to the flight distance and the positions of the positioning modules to make the UAV turn in the operation area, and there is no need to close the spray system. Pesticide spraying can be controlled more accurately.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of agricultural application of drones, in particular to a control method of drones used in agriculture. Background technique [0002] With the maturity of unmanned aircraft technology, the application of drones in agriculture has become more common, especially the rapid rise of current drone technology has promoted the process of modern agriculture in my country. The operating efficiency of drones is relatively high, which can save a lot of manpower and material resources , and the drone can be precisely controlled when spraying pesticides, which is also conducive to environmental protection. UAVs for spraying pesticides generally consist of a flying platform and a spraying mechanism. The spraying operation is realized through remote control on the ground, and can spray chemicals, seeds, powders, etc. It has the advantages of simple operation, high efficiency, and good spraying effect, and has been...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

It has the advantages of simple operation, high efficiency, and good spraying effect, and has been widely used in the field of agricultural plant protection; however, in the spraying process of the existing drones, since the drones mostly use manual remote control, automatic navigation cannot be realized , and when the UAV needs to turn when spraying the end of the crops on the ground, the spraying system on the UAV is still in the spraying state, and the automatic shutdown function cannot be realized, resulting in a waste of spraying medium

The domestic application cn2015204880405 adopts the strategy of automatically turning off the spraying system when the UAV turns, which has certain effects. However, as a high-speed flying machine, the UAV cannot turn quickly. spraying pesticides
