[0020] The working method and control method of the tree pruning flying robot are as follows:
[0021] A method of operating a tree obstacle clearing flying robot with a suspended reciprocating saw is as follows:
[0022] The flying platform, the suspension mechanism and the reciprocating saw system are connected in sequence from top to bottom to form a flying robot as a whole; when the flying robot flies near the tree to be pruned, the length and the flying height of the suspension mechanism are adjusted first, and the tool system is directed toward the tree to be pruned, and then the flying robot is controlled to fly forward according to the received tree pruning remote control instructions, and the reciprocating saw system is used to cut and prune the tree below the flying robot.
[0023] A control method for a tree obstacle clearing flying robot with a suspended reciprocating saw:
[0024] It includes a control method for a suspension mechanism, a control method for a reciprocating saw system, and a control method for a decoupling device. The specific control methods are as follows:
[0025] 1) The control method of the suspension mechanism using a telescopic structure is as follows: the main controller of the flying platform dynamically changes the length of the pull rope by controlling the start and stop of the wire take-up device and the direction of wire reeling and releasing, thereby adjusting the length of the vertical rod, thereby changing the vertical distance of the reciprocating saw system relative to the flying platform.
[0026] 2) The control method of the reciprocating saw system is:
[0027] A) The tool controller collects the current, speed and temperature of the tool motor in real time and sends them to the main controller of the flight platform for monitoring;
[0028] B) Real-time evaluation of the working status of the reciprocating saw:
[0029] ① Assuming that the current threshold, speed threshold, and temperature threshold corresponding to the overload are known, if the current of the tool motor exceeds the current threshold, or the speed is lower than the speed threshold, or the temperature exceeds the temperature threshold, it can be determined that the reciprocating saw is overloaded;
[0030] ② Assuming that the current threshold, speed threshold, and temperature threshold corresponding to the jamming are known, if the current of the tool motor exceeds the current threshold, or the speed is lower than the speed threshold, or the temperature exceeds the temperature threshold, it can be determined that the reciprocating saw is jammed;
[0031] ③ If the current or speed of the tool motor pulsates periodically and the amplitude exceeds the preset threshold, it can be determined that the reciprocating saw is damaged.
[0032] C) Abnormal handling method of working status:
[0033] ① If it is determined to be overloaded, a hovering command is sent to the flight platform to stop cutting and feeding;
[0034] ② If it is determined to be stuck or damaged, the tool motor will be braked and a retraction command will be sent to the flight platform;
[0035] ③ For jamming, if the reciprocating saw is stuck by a branch and is difficult to break free, the unhooking device is activated to separate the reciprocating saw system from the flying robot, thereby maximizing the protection of the flying robot's safety and avoiding a crash.
[0036] 3) Control method of mechanical unhooking device:
[0037] A) When the unhooking device receives the "unhooking" command from the main controller in the flight platform, the output rod of the linear servo extends, driving the bearing to move downward, and the bearing is squeezed and contacted with the upper plane of the transverse rod of the upper hook, pushing the upper hook to rotate clockwise, so that the hook at the lower end of the upper hook is separated from the lower hook buckle, thereby realizing the mechanical unhooking of the components connected below the unhooking device and the components connected above the unhooking device, and also completing the separation of the electrical interface; after that, the output rod of the linear servo contracts, and the upper hook rotates counterclockwise to reset under the tension of the tension spring;
[0038] B) When hooking, the lower hook moves upward to squeeze the hook of the upper hook to the left, pushing the upper hook to rotate clockwise and retreat. When the lower hook moves upward to the right position, the hook of the upper hook quickly rotates into the square hole of the lower hook, thereby forming a stable and reliable hook between the components connected below the unhooking device and the components connected above the unhooking device, and also completing the connection of the electrical interface.
[0039] Beneficial effects of the present invention: Compared with the prior art, the effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0040] The present invention adopts a flying platform to suspend a reciprocating saw system, which is suitable for "shaving" large-area rapid pruning from the top or side of the tree, with high operating efficiency, avoiding operators from approaching the pruned tree and dangerous equipment around it, and can effectively reduce the operating risk of tree pruning, solving the problems of low cleaning efficiency and high safety risks in the prior art;
[0041] 2) For a flying robot with a suspended reciprocating saw system, the reciprocating saw system is always located below the rotor assembly during operation, which can effectively prevent trees from interfering with the rotor, reduce the risk of crashing, and improve the safety of the flying robot's operation;
[0042] 3) The suspension mechanism has multiple configurations such as fixed and telescopic to meet the diversity of working environments; in particular, the telescopic configuration of the vertical rod can dynamically adjust the distance between the reciprocating saw system and the flying platform, which is more flexible and maneuverable on the one hand, and can effectively reduce the difficulty of take-off and landing of the flying robot on the other hand, making it easy to store and transport;
[0043] 4) The suspension mechanism and reciprocating saw system are located below the flight platform, so that the center of gravity of the flying robot is directly below the flight platform, which improves the stability of the flying robot and reduces the difficulty of controlling the flying robot;
[0044] 5) The suspension mechanism adopts a left-right symmetrical structure, which is fixed to the bottom of the flight platform. At the same time, a transverse reinforcement beam is installed on the vertical rod, which makes the overall rigidity of the flying robot stronger and improves the stability and reliability of the system operation. When the suspension operation device is subjected to external force, compared with the single vertical rod method, it is less likely to cause the reciprocating saw system to twist in the direction of the flight platform, and it is difficult to cause deformation or breakage of the suspension mechanism, thus ensuring the safety of the operation of the flying robot;
[0045] 6) The reciprocating saw is placed horizontally along the length direction, with a large horizontal working width, a large operating range at one time, high cutting efficiency and good applicability;
[0046] 7) The tool motor is equipped with sensors to sense its working current, speed and temperature. The control system analyzes and processes the sensor data and implements protective retreat control on the flying robot, thus ensuring the safety of the flying robot's operation;
[0047] 8) The reciprocating saw system has a variety of shapes and tooth shapes. Combined with the robot's motion planning, it can meet the tree pruning needs under different operating objectives and working environments, which is convenient and reliable;
[0048] 9) When the reciprocating saw system is entangled in branches and leaves and cannot break free, the unhooking device can be manually or automatically activated to quickly "detach" the reciprocating saw system from the suspension mechanism or the suspension mechanism from the flight platform to ensure the safety of the flying robot and reduce the losses caused by the failure.

[0088] The flying platform 1, the suspension mechanism 2 and the reciprocating saw system 3 are connected in sequence from top to bottom to form a flying robot as a whole; when the flying robot flies to the vicinity of the tree to be pruned, the length and the flying height of the suspension mechanism 2 are first adjusted, and the reciprocating saw system 3 is directed toward the tree to be pruned, and then the flying robot is controlled to fly forward according to the received tree pruning remote control instructions, and the reciprocating saw system 3 is used to cut and prune the tree below the robot.
[0089] A control method for a tree obstacle clearing flying robot with a suspended reciprocating saw:
[0090] 1) The control method of the suspension mechanism 2 with a telescopic structure is as follows: the main controller of the flying platform 1 dynamically changes the length of the pull rope 2202 by controlling the start and stop of the wire take-up device 2201 and the direction of wire reeling and releasing, thereby adjusting the length of the vertical rod 201, thereby changing the vertical distance of the reciprocating saw system 3 relative to the flying platform 1.
[0091] 2) The control method of the reciprocating saw system 3 is:
[0092] A) The tool controller collects the current, speed and temperature of the tool motor 302 in real time when it is working, and sends it to the main controller of the flight platform 1 for monitoring;
[0093] B) Real-time evaluation of the working status of the active saw blade 306:
[0094] ① Assuming that the current threshold, speed threshold, and temperature threshold corresponding to the overload are known, if the current of the tool motor 302 exceeds the current threshold, or the speed is lower than the speed threshold, or the temperature exceeds the temperature threshold, it can be determined that the movable saw blade 306 is overloaded;
[0095] ② Assuming that the current threshold, speed threshold, and temperature threshold corresponding to the jamming are known, if the current of the tool motor 302 exceeds the current threshold, or the speed is lower than the speed threshold, or the temperature exceeds the temperature threshold, it can be determined that the movable saw blade 306 is jammed;
[0096] ③ If the current or speed of the tool motor 302 pulsates periodically and the amplitude exceeds a predetermined threshold, it can be determined that the movable saw blade 306 is damaged.
[0097] C) Abnormal handling method of working status:
[0098] ① If it is determined to be overloaded, a hovering command is sent to the flight platform 1 to stop cutting and feeding;
[0099] ② If it is determined to be blocked or damaged, the tool motor 302 is braked and a retreat command is sent to the flying platform 1;
[0100] ③ For jamming, if the movable saw blade 306 is stuck by a branch and is difficult to break free, the unhooking device 4 is activated to separate the reciprocating saw system 3 from the flying robot, thereby protecting the safety of the flying robot to the greatest extent and avoiding a crash.
[0101] 3) Control method of mechanical unhooking device 4:
[0102] A) When the unhooking device 4 receives the "unhooking" command from the main controller in the flight platform 1, the output rod of the linear servo 4102 extends, driving the bearing 4103 to move downward, and the bearing 4103 is pressed and contacted with the upper plane of the transverse rod of the upper hook 4105, pushing the upper hook 4105 to rotate clockwise, so that the bent hook at the lower end of the upper hook 4105 is separated from the lower hook 4202, thereby realizing the mechanical unhooking of the components connected below the unhooking device 4 and the components connected above the unhooking device 4, and also completing the separation of the electrical interface; afterwards, the output rod of the linear servo 4102 contracts, and the upper hook 4105 rotates counterclockwise to reset under the tension of the tension spring 4104;
[0103] B) When hooking, the lower hook 4202 moves upward to squeeze the hook of the upper hook 4105 to the left, pushing the upper hook 4105 to rotate clockwise and retreat. When the lower hook 4202 moves upward to the right position, the hook of the upper hook 4105 quickly screws into the square hole of the lower hook 4202, thereby forming a stable and reliable hooking between the component connected below the unhooking device 4 and the component connected above the unhooking device 4, and also completing the connection of the electrical interface.
[0104] Example 2: Fig.12As shown in the figure, a tree pruning flying robot with a suspended reciprocating saw, the suspension mechanism 2 adopts a pulley type telescopic suspension mechanism: the vertical rod 201 includes H (H≥3) sections of continuously nested hollow tubes 2203, numbered 1, 2, …, H from top to bottom. The upper end of the i-th (1≤i<H) section of the hollow tube 2203 is provided with an upper limit stopper 2204 to limit the overshoot of the upward contraction of the (i + 1)-th section of the hollow tube 2203, and the lower end is provided with a lower limit stopper 2205 to limit the movement and detachment of the (i + 1)-th section of the hollow tube 2203 when it extends downward; the upper limit stopper 2204 of the first section of the hollow tube 2203 is provided with a flange 2208 connected to the flight platform 1, the upper end of the H-th section of the hollow tube 2203 is provided with an upper limit stopper 2204, and the lower end is connected to the reciprocating saw system 3. The upper limit stopper 2204 of the second section of the hollow tube 2203 is connected to the wire reel 2201 installed on the flight platform 1 through a pull rope 2202; when the number of sections H of the hollow tube 2203 is ≥3, the vertical rod 201 further includes a movable pulley 2206 whose rotating shaft is horizontally fixed to the upper limit stopper 2204 of the j-th (2≤j<H) section of the hollow tube 2203 and whose rotation plane passes through the vertical axis of the hollow tube 2203, and a pulley pull rope 2207 that is wound around the upper side of the movable pulley 2206 and one end of which is fixedly connected to the lower limit stopper 2205 of the (j - 1)-th section of the hollow tube 2203 and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the upper limit stopper 2204 of the (j + 1)-th section of the hollow tube 2203; the transverse strengthening beam 202 is connected to the lower ends of the same section of the hollow tubes 2203 of adjacent vertical rods 201.
[0105] The suspension mechanism 2 rises: the main controller of the flight platform 1 outputs a forward rotation command to the wire reel motor 22011. The wire reel motor 22011 drives the wire reel 22012 to wind up the pull rope 2202 and makes the rotary fork 22014 rotate forward. The rising of the pull rope 2202 drives the second section of the hollow tube 2203 of the vertical rod 201 to move upward, and the movable pulley 2206 on this section of the hollow tube 2203 also moves upward, prompting the pulley pull rope 2207 that bypasses the movable pulley 2206 to drive the third section of the hollow tube 2203 to move upward synchronously. By analogy, it always drives the N-th section of the hollow tube 2203 to move upward synchronously; when all the vertical rods 201 act synchronously according to the above method, the suspension mechanism 2 will rise stably; when the suspension mechanism 2 rises to the limit position, the rotary fork 22014 triggers the upper travel switch 22015, and the main controller of the flight platform 1 outputs a stop command to the wire reel motor 22011 to stop the wire reel motor 22011, thereby implementing upward protection for the suspension mechanism 2.
[0106] The suspension mechanism 2 descends: the main controller of the flight platform 1 outputs a reverse command to the wire-receiving motor 22011, and the wire-receiving motor 22011 drives the wire-receiving reel 22012 to release the pull rope 2202 and make the rotating fork 22014 rotate in the opposite direction. Under the action of the movable hollow tube 2203 of the vertical rod 201 and the gravity of the load below, the second section of the hollow tube 2203 moves downward, and the movable pulley 2206 on the section of the hollow tube 2203 moves downward, prompting the pulley rope 2207 that bypasses the movable pulley 2206 to move downward. The third section of the hollow tube 2203 is also driven to move downward synchronously, and so on, until the Nth section of the hollow tube 2203 is driven to move downward synchronously; when all the vertical rods 201 are synchronously moved according to the above method, the suspension mechanism 2 will be able to descend stably; when the suspension mechanism 2 descends to the extreme position, the rotating fork 22014 triggers the lower travel switch 22016, and the main controller of the flying platform 1 outputs a stop command to the take-up motor 22011 to stop the take-up motor 22011, thereby implementing descent protection for the suspension mechanism 2.

[0109] like Fig.13 As shown, after the electromagnet 401 is powered on, it is attracted to the armature 402, and the reciprocating saw system 3 is hung below the suspension mechanism 2; after the electromagnet 401 is powered off, the armature 402 is released, and the reciprocating saw system 3 is separated from the suspension mechanism 2. During the obstacle removal operation, when the reciprocating saw system 3 is stuck relative to the tree branch and cannot be separated, the reciprocating saw system 3 can be separated from the flying robot through the unhooking device 4, thereby implementing safety protection for the flying robot.

[0111] Based on the tilt-rotor, the flight platform 1 can generate a large heading moment to overcome the unbalanced reaction moment of the tree on the reciprocating saw system 3, and may achieve horizontal flight without changing the attitude.
