Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments.

[0019] The utility model will be introduced in detail and specifically through specific embodiments below, so that the utility model can be better understood. However, the following embodiments do not limit the protection scope of the utility model.
[0020] Embodiment 1
[0021] The embodiment discloses a water rocket altimeter.
[0022] A water rocket altimeter, comprising a power module, an attitude data acquisition module, a data transmission module, a remote control receiving module, an electromagnetic lock driving module, the power module is electrically connected with the attitude data acquisition module, the data transmission module, the remote control receiving module and the electromagnetic lock driving module respectively, the attitude data acquisition module is in communication connection with the data transmission module, the remote control receiving module is signal connected with the electromagnetic lock driving module through a signal line;
[0023] The attitude data acquisition module adopts IMU948 posture ten-axis sensor, and the IMU948 posture ten-axis sensor is in communication connection with the data transmission module through an RS485 serial port and a set core micro A69-F2GM20 full-duplex data transmission chip.
[0024] The IMU948 ten-axis attitude sensor collects technical parameters such as height air pressure, temperature, magnetic field, acceleration and angular velocity in the flight of the water rocket in real time, provides core flight data for the system, and is the basis for realizing attitude calculation and height measurement.
[0025] Further, the power module comprises a lithium battery, an SX1308 voltage boosting chip and an LOD1 voltage stabilizing chip, the output end of the SX1308 voltage boosting chip is used for supplying power to a 5V circuit, and the output end of the LOD1 voltage stabilizing chip is used for supplying power to a 3.3V circuit.
[0026] The lithium battery is used as the core energy source of the system, and outputs a voltage of 3.7V to supply power to the entire circuit, thereby ensuring long-time stable operation of the system.
[0027] The SX1308 voltage boosting chip boosts the original voltage of 3.7V provided by the lithium battery to 5V, thereby providing stable power supply for the macro-acting relay HFD / 3 and the electromagnetic lock which need to be driven by a large current. The high-efficiency voltage boosting characteristic meets the instantaneous high-power requirement of the strong current module.
[0028] The LOD1 voltage stabilizing chip accurately reduces the 5V voltage output by the SX1308 voltage boosting chip to 3.3V, and provides a stable voltage for the IMU948 ten-axis sensor, the A69-F2GM20 module, and the GLX433RX module, so as to avoid affecting the signal transmission accuracy due to voltage fluctuation.
[0029] Further, the data transmission module comprises an A69-F2GM20 full-duplex data transparent chip, which is connected with the computer receiving end through a full-duplex communication link.
[0030] The A69-F2GM20 full-duplex data transparent chip serves as a data interaction hub, receives RS485 serial port data of the IMU948 sensor, and transmits the data to the computer receiving end through a full-duplex communication link; at the same time, the A69-F2GM20 full-duplex data transparent chip forwards the control instructions from the computer end to the altimeter internal module, so as to realize bidirectional real-time communication.
[0031] Further, the remote control receiving module comprises a GLX433RX switching value, which communicates with the handheld remote controller through a 433MHz wireless signal.
[0032] The GLX433RX switching value module adopts a 433MHz half-duplex communication protocol, receives the wireless switching value signal sent by the handheld remote controller GLX433FK, and converts the signal into an electrical signal output to the base of the S8050 triode, so as to trigger the electromagnetic lock driving circuit to act.
[0033] Further, the electromagnetic lock driving module comprises an S8050 triode and a HFD / 3 relay, the base of the S8050 triode is connected with the GLX433RX switching value, the collector is connected with the HFD / 3 relay, and the contact end of the HFD / 3 relay is connected with the electromagnetic lock.
[0034] The S8050 low-voltage large-current switching triode serves as a signal amplifier and switching element, and its base is turned on after receiving the electrical signal of the GLX433RX module, and the collector is connected with the HFD / 3 relay, so as to convert the weak electrical signal into a current sufficient to drive the relay, and realize the control of a small signal on a strong current circuit.
[0035] After the coil of the HFD / 3 relay is powered on, the contact is closed, and the 5V large current provided by the SX1308 voltage boosting chip is conducted to the output port of the electromagnetic lock. The high reliability and fast response characteristics of the HFD / 3 relay ensure the instantaneous activation of the electromagnetic lock.
[0036] The electromagnetic lock receives 5V large current through the HFD / 3 contact of the macro relay, and then the internal electromagnetic coil generates a strong magnetic field to drive the lock to be ejected at high speed. The lock is connected with the parachute through the rubber band, and the ejection action triggers the parachute to be unfolded instantly, so that the water rocket is safely recovered.
[0037] Further, the power module further comprises a power switch and a USB charging port, the power switch is connected in series in the power supply circuit of the lithium battery, the SX1308 voltage boosting chip and the LOD1 voltage stabilizing chip, and the USB charging port is connected with the lithium battery input port.
[0038] The power switch is connected in series in the power supply circuit of the lithium battery and the voltage boosting / stabilizing chip, and the power input of the whole system is controlled through physical on-off, so that the safety and convenience of experimental operation are ensured.
[0039] The USB charging port is directly connected with the lithium battery input port, external USB power can be used to charge the lithium battery, and the rapid recovery of the system endurance is realized.
[0040] The electromagnetic lock output port is the electrical interface of the electromagnetic lock, and the 5V large current conducted by the HFD / 3 macro relay is transmitted to the electromagnetic lock, so that the lock ejection action is completed in a very short time.
[0041] During the operation, the operator first closes the power switch, so that the power lithium battery is connected to the circuit. The lithium battery is the initial energy supply end of the system, and outputs a 3.7V voltage, which is transmitted to the U4 SX1308 voltage boosting chip. The U4 SX1308 voltage boosting chip can boost the 3.7V voltage to 5V, and provide stable power support for the macro relay HFD / 3 and other circuit modules in the system.
[0042] Then, the 5V voltage is transmitted to the LOD1 voltage stabilizing chip. The LOD1 voltage stabilizing chip reduces and stabilizes the 5V voltage to 3.3V, and provides an adaptive working voltage for the low-power circuit modules such as the attitude ten-axis sensor and the A69-F2GM20 full-duplex data transmission chip, so as to ensure the stable operation of these modules.
[0043] After the system is powered stably, the attitude ten-axis sensor starts to work. The sensor uses its built-in multiple sensitive elements to collect real-time key parameters such as altitude pressure, temperature, magnetic field, acceleration, angular velocity and the like during the flight of the water rocket. The collected data is sent to the Jiumi A69-F2GM20 full-duplex data transparent chip. After receiving the data, the Jiumi A69-F2GM20 full-duplex data transparent chip accurately transmits the data to the Jiumi A69-F2GM20 chip at the receiving end of the computer through the TX and RX full-duplex communication lines. The Jiumi A69-F2GM20 chip at the computer end transmits the received data to the upper computer software, the upper computer software analyzes and processes the data, and presents the data report and visual image on the computer screen, providing intuitive water rocket flight state information for the operator.
[0044] When it is necessary to trigger the opening of the water rocket parachute, the operator operates through the handheld remote controller. The operator presses the switch on the handheld remote controller, and the remote controller sends a control signal in half-duplex communication mode through the GLX433FK switch quantity. After the GLX433RX switch quantity module on the circuit board receives the signal, it is converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to the S8050 low-voltage and high-current switching triode. After the S8050 triode receives the electrical signal, it is turned on, thereby triggering the HFD / 3 macro-drive relay. After the HFD / 3 macro-drive relay is turned on, 5V high current is obtained from the SX1308 boost chip and delivered to the electromagnetic lock. The strong current causes a strong magnetic field inside the electromagnetic lock, prompting the lock catch to be ejected in an instant. Since the lock catch and the parachute are connected by a rubber band, the tension generated by the ejection of the lock catch causes the rubber band to deform, and the counterforce of the rubber band causes the parachute to open instantly. The structure combining the wireless remote control switch quantity and the electromagnetic lock ejection has extremely high response speed and precision, and the time interval from pressing the switch key to opening the parachute is less than 0.1 second, which has a significant advantage in the opening speed and precision of the parachute in the high-altitude environment.
