However, most of them control the operation of the brake valve through remote commands and do not have the function of automatic braking, resulting in low braking efficiency and safety.

Brief Description of the Drawings

[0008] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the control system connection for the present invention; Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the braking strategy for the present invention. Detailed implementation manners

[0009] As Figure 1 shown, a passive electro - controlled brake valve automatic braking control system includes a host computer, a power distribution device, passive electro - controlled brake valves, speed sensors, and main wheels. The power distribution device is connected to the host computer. After receiving the power - on instruction from the host computer, the power distribution device powers on the control system. The passive electro - controlled brake valves are connected to the host computer. The host computer collects the braking pressure of the passive electro - controlled brake valves and controls the braking of the passive electro - controlled brake valves, performing closed - loop control on the braking pressure. The passive electro - controlled brake valves are connected to the braking devices of the main wheels through hydraulic pipelines. The passive electro - controlled brake valves output hydraulic pressure to provide braking pressure for the main wheels to brake and feedback the braking pressure to the host computer. Speed sensors are provided at the main wheels to detect the rotational speed of the main wheels, and the speed sensors are connected to the host computer. The speed sensors transmit the rotational speed of the main wheels to the host computer. The power distribution device supplies power to the passive electro - controlled brake valves and speed sensors to ensure the normal operation of the control system. There are two passive electro - controlled brake valves, which respectively control the braking of the left and right main wheels, and achieve deviation correction by respectively controlling the braking amounts of the left and right passive electro - controlled brake valves. There are two speed sensors, which respectively detect the rotational speeds of the left and right main wheels and transmit them to the host computer. The host computer automatically adjusts the braking strategy according to the rotational speeds of the left and right main wheels.

[0010] The host computer determines the braking strategy based on the braking pressure of the passive electro - controlled brake valves and the speed of the main wheels, and controls the passive electro - controlled brake valves to output hydraulic pressure to perform automatic braking and deviation - correction braking on the main wheels. Before the aircraft lands, the host computer sends a preset pressure signal to the electro - controlled brake valve. After the aircraft touches down, according to the collected speed of the main wheels, it sends a braking amount and then maintains it. When the speed of the main wheels collected by the host computer drops to the braking instruction switching judgment value, the host computer automatically changes the braking amount sent to the electro - controlled brake valve. Among them, there are multiple main wheel speed judgment values, and different braking amounts are sent according to different judgment values until the unmanned aerial vehicle is braked to a stop. During the braking process, when the host computer collects that the yaw angle of the unmanned aerial vehicle reaches a certain threshold, it finely adjusts the left and right braking amounts, increasing or decreasing the braking amount to achieve deviation - correction braking.

[0011] As Figure 2Schematic diagram of the shown braking strategy. In this braking strategy, before the aircraft lands, the host computer sends the preset braking amount P0 to the electro-control braking valve and then maintains it. When the aircraft lands, the host computer automatically switches the braking amount of the electro-control braking valve to P1 according to the ground contact speed V0 of the main wheels; when the main wheel speed drops to V1, the host computer automatically switches the braking amount of the electro-control braking valve to P2. The host computer automatically switches different braking amounts according to different main wheel speeds during the braking process until the drone is braked to a stop. During the braking process, if the yaw angle of the drone exceeds a certain threshold, the corrective braking is activated to automatically increase or decrease the left and right braking amounts. If the drone yaws to the left, the right braking pressure is increased, the left braking pressure is decreased, and the drone corrects to the right; if the drone yaws to the right, the left braking pressure is increased, the right braking pressure is decreased, and the drone corrects to the left.

[0012] Since the ground contact speed of the main wheels of the drone is affected by the environment and usage conditions, the ground contact speed may fall within any interval of V0-0. Therefore, it is necessary for the host computer to directly switch the braking amount from P0 to the braking amount corresponding to the speed in the braking strategy according to the ground contact speed of the main wheels for braking. In addition, the specific braking amount PN in the braking strategy can be adjusted according to the different weights and usage conditions of the drones.

[0013] As described above, it is only the preferred specific implementation mode of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, makes equivalent replacements or changes, and all should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
