Unmanned aerial vehicle and control method thereof

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of aircrafts, and discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle and a control method thereof. The unmanned aerial vehicle comprises a fuselage provided with a battery compartment, a vehicle arm with one end mounted on the fuselage, a power assembly comprising a motor and a propeller, a battery module, a locking mechanism, a detection module and a main control module; a stator of the motor is installed at the other end of the vehicle arm, a rotor of the motor is sleeved with the propeller, and the motor is used for driving the propeller to rotate; the battery module is detachably mounted in the battery compartment; the locking mechanism is used for locking the battery module in the battery compartment; the detection module is mounted on the fuselage and is used for detecting whether the locking mechanism locks the battery module in the battery compartment or not; and the main control module is installed on the fuselage, the main control module is electrically connected with the motor, the battery module and the detection module, and the main control module is used for locking the motor when the detection module detects that the battery module is not locked in the battery compartment by the locking mechanism. The risk that the battery module of the unmanned aerial vehicle is not installed in place and is prone to falling in the flight process can be reduced.

Description

Technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of aircraft, and in particular, to an unmanned aircraft and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Unmanned aircraft is referred to as "Unmanned Aircraft" (UAV), the built-in flight control system can realize the precision positioning hover of unmanned aircraft under the control of the ground station and the synergy of the link, where the link is responsible for the aircraft Communication with the ground station transmits the flight data on the plane in real time to the ground station through a variety of communication methods, and can transmit the control signals from the ground station to the aircraft, so that the unmanned aircraft is flying in accordance with established instructions. [0003] The existing unmanned aircraft can be divided into detachable unmanned aircraft according to the installation of the power supply, and the detachable drone is increasingly subject to the adva...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the process of implementing the present invention, the inventor found that: in order to facilitate the user to replace the power supply of the unmanned aerial vehicle, most of the unmanned aerial vehicles clamp and fix the battery module in the battery compartment of the fuselage, but in this case, there will be problems due to The connection between the conductive contacts of the battery module and the conductive contacts connected to the internal circuit of the unmanned aerial vehicle is not tight, and the battery module can still provide power for the unmanned aerial vehicle, which in turn increases the risk of the unmanned aerial vehicle during flight. Risk of falling due to power failure
