Embodiment 1

[0033] figure 1 It is a flow chart of a UAV return method provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment of the present invention is applicable to the situation where the UAV in the control operation returns. This method can be returned by the UAV in the embodiment of the present invention device, the device can be implemented in the form of software and / or hardware, and integrated in the drone of the present invention, such as figure 1 As shown, the UAV return method specifically includes the following steps:

[0034] S101. During the operation process of the UAV with the preset operation path, calculate the remaining flight time and return time of the UAV according to the preset cycle, and the remaining flight time is the remaining power of the UAV. The flight time of the UAV, the return time is the time for the UAV to fly from the current position to the preset return destination according to the planned return path.

[0035] In the embodiment of the p...

Embodiment 2

[0051] figure 2 It is a flowchart of a UAV return method provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The embodiment of the present invention is optimized on the basis of the foregoing Embodiment 1. Specifically, as figure 2 As shown, the UAV return method in the embodiment of the present invention may include the following steps:

[0052] S201. Obtain current status information of the drone according to a preset period, where the current status information includes remaining power and a current location of the drone.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset period can be a period set by the user, or a period preset by the developer during the development stage. The period can be set according to the flight speed of the drone. In one example, When the flying speed is fast, a relatively small period can be set, and when the flying speed is slow, a relatively large period can be set. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the size ...

Embodiment 3

[0114] Figure 5 A schematic structural diagram of a drone return device provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention, as shown in Figure 5 As shown, the drone return device of the embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0115] The time calculation module 501 is used to calculate the remaining flight time and return time of the drone according to the preset cycle during the operation process of the drone with the preset operation path, and the remaining flight time is the The remaining power is available for the flight time of the UAV, and the return time is the time for the UAV to fly from the current position to the preset return destination according to the planned return path;

[0116] A time determination module 502, configured to determine whether the remaining flight time is greater than the return time;

[0117] A target home point acquisition module 503, configured to acquire a target home point on the preset work path, and return to the time calculati...

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle return method and device, an unmanned aerial vehicle and a storage medium, and the method comprises the steps: calculating the remaining flight time and return time of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to a preset period in a process that the unmanned aerial vehicle operates according to a preset operation path; determining whether the remaining flight time is greater than return time; if yes, obtaining a target return point on the preset operation path, and determining whether to return to the step of calculating the remaining flight time and return time according to the preset period or not according to the current position and the target return point; if not, taking the current position as a target return point, and flying from the target return point to the return destination when flying to the target return point; and if not, determining the current position as a target return point, and flying from the target return point to the return destination. According to the embodiment of the invention, the operation efficiency and the battery energy utilization rate of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be improved, the unmanned aerial vehicle can have enough electric quantity to return, and safe return of the unmanned aerial vehicle is ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of drones, and in particular, to a method and device for returning a drone, a drone, and a storage medium. Background technique [0002] With the development of drone technology, the application fields of drones are becoming more and more extensive. For example, drones are used in aerial photography, exploration, traffic command, power inspection and agricultural plant protection and other fields. [0003] At present, drones are generally equipped with an automatic return function. For example, when an abnormality is detected in the system or the power is lower than a certain threshold, the drone will interrupt the current task and start the return function, returning from the current position to the starting point or the preset return. destination. [0004] However, there are the following problems in controlling whether the drone returns autonomously according to the remaining po...
