Self-balancing foot stool of unmanned rotorcraft, unmanned rotorcraft and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a self-balancing foot stool of a unmanned rotorcraft, the unmanned rotorcraft and a method. The unmanned rotorcraft comprises a vehicle body and a flight control board installed on the vehicle body, an inertial sensor and a single chip microcomputer are installed on the flight control board, and the inertial sensor is used for obtaining an attitude angle. The self-balancing foot stool comprises: a shell; a driving module which is installed on the shell, receives a control signal of the single chip microcomputer and converts the control signal into a driving signal of the self-balancing foot stool; a telescopic module which is installed on the shell and used for receiving the driving signal and outputting the telescopic amount according to the driving signal; and a laser distance measuring sensor which is installed at the bottom end of the telescopic module and used for obtaining the relative distance between the laser distance measuring sensor and the ground and sending relative distance data to the single chip microcomputer, wherein the single-chip microcomputer receives the attitude angle and the relative distance, analyzes and processes the attitude angle and the relative distance, and outputs the control signal.

Problems solved by technology

However, there are still certain restrictions and shortcomings in the application of drones in some special environments. For example, when the drone lands on some rough roads or slopes, the drone will roll over after landing, resulting in unmanned The drone was damaged, which greatly affected the landing safety of the drone

[0003] Generally, there is a big problem for drones to land on slopes or rough roads, so some special drones have been designed according to this problem. For example, the authorized Chinese invention patent (CN106005375B) describes a Connection, to realize the linkage expansion and contraction between each tripod, try to maintain the horizontal balance of the drone body, but it still cannot maintain balance on a slope with a large slope or on a rough road, and there is a greater possibility of rollover; the announced The Chinese invention patent (CN112173086A) describes the installation of a laser radar sensor inside the carbon tube of the tripod beam of the drone. The distance between the tripod and the ground is judged by the laser radar sensor to control the telescopic movement of the tripod to achieve a stable landing in some special environments. , but the two tripods of the drone are connected by a beam carbon tube, so that the expansion and contraction of the two tripods are mutually restricted and cannot be completed independently

When obstacles (stones, garbage, etc.) are on the carbon tube of the beam, it is difficult to adjust the height of the corresponding tripod, and it is prone to rollover

In addition, there are two problems in using the lidar sensor to automatically scan the ground level of the landing area: one is that it is difficul
