TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of structural design and control, and relates to a wide-range efficient low-noise control method based on structural electrical control collaborative matching. BACKGROUND
[0002] Conventional multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles all apply motor and constant moment propeller power devices, and the flight and control of the unmanned aerial vehicle are realized by the change of the vertical pulling force of the uniformly distributed propeller, and the change of the pulling force of the propeller completely depends on the change of the rotating speed of the propeller. In order to realize the stable hovering and flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the maximum pulling force provided by the propeller obviously needs to be greater than the gravity of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The pulling force of the propeller is affected by the motor power or torque, rotating speed, propeller moment, surrounding air density, temperature and the like.
[0003] Therefore, in order to realize the efficient work of the unmanned aerial vehicle on the plain and plateau, various situations need to be comprehensively considered. Domestic unmanned aerial vehicle design such as Tian Weijun et al. designs the structure of a four-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle in combination with vibration characteristics. Shi Weixing et al. analyzes the calculation method of the plateau characteristics and wind resistance characteristics of the multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle. However, only high-altitude application is considered in the design, and the wide-range design is not realized through structural electrical control collaborative matching. SUMMARY
[0004] In the prior art, when designing a rotor unmanned aerial vehicle, only the normal temperature and pressure state is considered, which causes poor system working state at high altitude and low temperature. The application provides a wide-range efficient low-noise control method based on structural electrical control collaborative matching, which realizes the wide-range low-noise control of the unmanned aerial vehicle by designing and correcting the battery model in the unmanned aerial vehicle motion model and then iteratively correcting the battery parameters to realize the electrical control collaborative matching.

The specific battery model is as follows:
[0031]
[0032]
[0033] Where C b is the current battery capacity; C min is the minimum remaining capacity of the battery; I b is the battery current; K b is the maximum discharge rate of the battery.

The effective discharge current of the battery during operation is then substituted into the battery model, replacing the battery current *I*. b This allows for the correction of the battery model.
[0038] Furthermore, the time interval between two adjacent nodes is 1 second.
[0039] Furthermore, we take k=10, that is, by inputting the node data of the 10 nodes before the current moment, we predict the discharge current i at the current moment, which is used as the effective discharge current of the battery during operation.
