Mooring unmanned aerial vehicle control system and method

Abstract

The invention provides a mooring unmanned aerial vehicle control system and method. The system comprises an unmanned vehicle, a mooring unmanned aerial vehicle, a ground station control center, a cable and a load. The unmanned vehicle is provided with an unmanned aerial vehicle cabin, a cable take-up and pay-off device and a generator. The ground station control center comprises an unmanned vehicle control unit and a mooring unmanned aerial vehicle control unit. According to the system and the method, the ground station control center controls movement of the unmanned vehicle, opening and closing of the cabin door of the unmanned aerial vehicle, take-off, hovering and landing control of the mooring unmanned aerial vehicle and the load. In addition, automatic take-up and pay-off of cables carried by the mooring unmanned aerial vehicle can be achieved through the cable take-up and pay-off device, the unmanned vehicle and the mooring unmanned aerial vehicle are integrated into one set ofsystem for control, a closed-loop automatic control system is formed, an automatic mode and a manual mode are matched, and the working efficiency, safety and intelligence are greatly improved. When the mooring unmanned aerial vehicle needs to return and land, a foot stool on the mooring unmanned aerial vehicle is matched with an aircraft nest to accurately guide the mooring unmanned aerial vehicleto accurately return to a designated position, and recovery work is completed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to a control system and method for tethered unmanned aerial vehicles. Background technique [0002] UAVs are currently mainly used in aerial photography, resource detection, disaster relief, military, social security and other fields. It may be required to have a long battery life in special occasions, so how to solve the problem of its power source has become a thorny problem, so tethered drones have emerged as the times require. The tethered UAV uses the ground power transmitted through the tethered cable as the power source, so as to obtain a steady stream of power supply, and can achieve fixed-point hovering for more than 24 hours, replacing the traditional lithium battery. The most important feature is the long-term The ability to hover in the air for a long time, mount a variety of mission loads, and perform long-term air missions. At the same time, the existence of c...
