AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing three-dimensional anemometers use a vertically orthogonal transducer array design, which ignores the influence of turbulence interference, resulting in reduced wind measurement accuracy and making drones prone to loss of control in strong wind environments.

Method used

The design employs a non-positive exchanger array, with four ultrasonic probes distributed at the vertices of a regular tetrahedron. Wind speed and direction are calculated using the time difference method, while two additional sets of probes provide data compensation. Furthermore, in the event of a probe fixing rod breakage, a flexible thin rod and a fixed chassis structure are used to retrieve the probe, preventing objects from falling from heights.

Benefits of technology

It improves the accuracy of wind speed and direction measurement, reduces the impact of turbulence on wind measurement, protects the safety of drones in strong wind environments, prevents loss of control, and facilitates the recovery and reuse of the probe.

Abstract

The invention discloses a non-orthogonal transducer array three-dimensional ultrasonic anemorumbometer capable of being carried on an unmanned aerial vehicle, which is applied to the field of anemorumbometers, and adopts a non-orthogonal transducer array to reduce the influence of turbulence on the wind measurement precision. The other two groups of transducers can perform data compensation, so that high-precision wind speed and wind direction measurement is realized, meanwhile, when the unmanned aerial vehicle encounters strong wind, the probe fixing rod can be broken, and the phenomenon that the unmanned aerial vehicle is out of control due to the fact that the wind area of the orthogonal annular support is large is avoided; the broken and fallen orthogonal annular support and the ultrasonic probe are recycled, high-altitude falling objects are not prone to being formed, meanwhile, the orthogonal annular support and the ultrasonic probe are effectively protected, follow-up recycling and reusing of the orthogonal annular support and the ultrasonic probe are facilitated, and the device is suitable for wind direction and wind speed detection in severe convection weather such as strong wind possibly occurring.
