Abstract

A control method of an unmanned aerial vehicle (1a, 1b, 1c) and an unmanned aerial vehicle (1a, 1b, 1c) are provided. The control method includes generating a return command to make the unmanned aerial vehicle (1a, 1b, 1c) to perform a return movement, which includes at least one cruise phase during which flight parameters of the unmanned aerial vehicle (1a, 1b, 1c) are measured, allowing the unmanned aerial vehicle (1a, 1b, 1c) to enter a high wind blockage state when it is determined that the unmanned aerial vehicle (1a, 1b, 1c) is in the high wind blockage state based on the flight parameters; measuring flight parameters in the high wind blockage state; and allowing the unmanned aerial vehicle (1a, 1b, 1c) to enter the cruise phase when it is determined that the unmanned aerial vehicle(1a, 1b, 1c) is out of the high wind blockage state based on the flight parameters.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and in particular to a method for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle and the unmanned aerial vehicle. Background technique

[0002] The UAV may encounter strong winds during the flight process such as return flight and normal operation. When the wind is strong, the forward flight component of the UAV may not be enough to counteract the wind, which will reduce the speed of the UAV and even make the UAV stall. Wind can also cause the drone to veer significantly from its preset heading. However, the existing technology does not detect strong winds, and UAVs will not avoid strong winds during flight, which may easily cause the power of the UAV to run out and fail to reach the target point, affecting the flight safety of the UAV.

Embodiment Construction

[0030] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. It should be understood, however, that these descriptions are exemplary only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. Also, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concepts of the present disclosure.

[0031] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling a drone, such as figure 1 As shown, the control method includes the following steps:

[0032] Step S101: By sending a return command to the UAV, the UAV performs a return action, and the return action includes at least one cruising phase.

[0033] Such as figure 2 As shown, the return action includes: climbing phase S1, cruising phase S2, and landing phase S3, and the cruising phase S2 includes a strong wind returning phase S21.

[0034] The climb stage includes: return p...
