[0051] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0052] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a method for obtaining fatigue load spectrum of a UAV is provided. This embodiment takes the method applied to a server as an example for illustration. It can be understood that the method can also be applied to a terminal, and can also be applied to a system including a terminal and a server, and is implemented through the interaction between the terminal and the server. In this embodiment, the method includes the following steps:

[0053] Step S102, obtaining an overload data set of the UAV during the execution of a single mission.

[0054] Among them, the overload data represents the ratio of the total acceleration calculated by the acceleration of the drone in all directions to the acceleration of gravity.

[0055] In the specific implementation, the inertial measurement unit (IMU) in the UAV flight control system can be used to obtain the overload data of the UAV at various time points during the execution of a single task, thereby obtaining an overload data set. Since the overload data is continuously collected, the amount of data obtained in the overload data set is large. In order to improve the data processing efficiency, the overload data can be simplified and sampled from the overload data set at a set time interval to obtain an overload data set for determining the fatigue load spectrum of the UAV.

[0056] For example, as shown in Table 1 below, it is an overload data set sampled at a time interval of 2 seconds, where acc represents overload data. It should be noted that due to the huge amount of data, only part of the data is shown in Table 1.

[0057] Time(s) acc(g) Time(s) acc(g) Time(s) acc(g) 0 1.010070664 22 1.027430926 44 1.684812091 2 1.003569652 24 1.195787221 46 0.790513271 4 1.052513627 26 1.422826991 48 1.236339848 6 0.90591383 28 1.130301874 50 1.593474322 8 1.38146628 30 0.754728306 52 2.041304909 10 1.519840202 32 0.921507839 54 2.302702674 12 1.177600306 34 0.802369948 56 1.423660257 14 1.893296324 36 1.901125277 58 1.690933926 16 1.2921339 38 1.134657837 60 0.911948559 18 1.79025804 40 0.780269607 62 0.291059016 20 1.400153212 42 1.446798035 64 1.395191166

[0058] Table 1

[0059] Step S104, obtaining a structural load set of the UAV during the execution of a single mission according to the overload data set and the gravity of the UAV.

[0060] In a specific implementation, the product of each overload data in the overload data set and the gravity of the UAV can be calculated to obtain the structural load set of the UAV during the execution of a single task.

[0061] Furthermore, in one embodiment, step S104 specifically includes: obtaining a preset UAV design load safety factor; respectively obtaining the product of each overload data in the overload data set, the UAV design load safety factor, and the gravity of the UAV, and using the data set composed of each product as the structural load set of the UAV.

[0062] Specifically, before obtaining the structural load set of the drone, it is also necessary to obtain the preset drone design load safety factor, and further calculate the drone structural load at each time point based on the drone design load safety factor, drone gravity and drone overload data. The relationship between the drone structural load, drone design load safety factor, overload data and drone gravity can be expressed as: N = k*Acc*G, where N represents the drone structural load, k represents the drone design load safety factor, Acc represents the overload data measured by the inertial measurement unit, G represents the drone gravity, and G = m*g (m represents the drone mass; g represents the acceleration of gravity).

[0063] For example, substitute the overload data in Table 1 into the relationship N = k*Acc*G, assume that the mass m of the drone is 25 kg, and the design load safety factor k of the drone is 1.5. After calculation and rounding, the change of the drone structural load over time is shown in Table 2 below. According to Table 2, the following can be drawn: Figure 2A line graph showing the structural loads on a UAV changing over time.

[0064]

[0065] Table 2

[0066] Furthermore, considering the loading characteristics of the fatigue load tester, the conversion process of loading and unloading will not be completed instantaneously. Therefore, under the condition of ensuring the effectiveness of the test load loading, the load loading time interval can be appropriately enlarged. For example, the overall load can be shifted back by 2s on the time axis, so that the load in the initial stage of loading is 0, and the load value in the final stage is also maintained for 2s, so that the loading, holding and unloading processes are all completed within 2s to ensure that the test load can reflect the actual loading situation. Step S106, obtain the hovering load on the frame when the drone is hovering, and obtain the fatigue load set of the drone based on the hovering load and the structural load set.

[0067] Step S106, obtaining the hovering load on the frame when the UAV is hovering, and obtaining the fatigue load set of the UAV according to the hovering load and the structural load set.

[0068] In specific implementation, when the drone is hovering, the overload in the Z direction of the whole machine can be measured by the inertial measurement unit, and then the hovering load on the frame of the drone when it is hovering can be obtained according to the relationship N = k*Acc*G. For example, if the overload in the Z direction of the drone is 1g when it is hovering, the hovering load N = 1.5 × 1 × 250 = 375 N. After that, the difference between each structural load and the hovering load in the structural load set is calculated respectively, and the data set composed of each difference is used as the fatigue load set of the drone.

[0069] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, before the above step S106, it also includes:

[0070] Step S302, determining multiple stages of the UAV in the process of performing a single task and the stage identifier corresponding to each stage according to the load value of each structural load in the structural load set.

[0071] Step S304, according to the stage identifiers corresponding to the various stages, a target structural load is determined from the multiple structural loads corresponding to the various stages, and the multiple structural loads corresponding to the various stages are replaced with the target structural load to obtain an updated structural load set.

[0072] In the specific implementation, if the load value of the structural load in a certain stage gradually increases, it can be determined that the stage is the loading stage. If the load value gradually decreases, it can be determined that the stage is the unloading stage. After determining the various stages of the drone in the process of performing a single task and the stage identification of each stage, the target structural load of each stage can be determined according to the stage identification of each stage. Specifically, if it is in the loading stage, the maximum value of the multiple structural loads corresponding to the stage can be taken as the target structural load of the stage. If it is in the unloading stage, the minimum value of the multiple structural loads corresponding to the stage can be taken as the target structural load of the stage. For example, in Table 2, in the loading stage of 0-4s, the maximum value is 395N, so 395N is used as the target structural load of this stage. In the unloading stage of 60-62s, the minimum value is 109N, so 109N is used as the target structural load of this stage.

[0073] Furthermore, in order to make the test load values ​​consistent, the time can be set as a unit, and the load can be simplified and rounded to multiples of 5 to facilitate subsequent model input, and the load can be properly maintained when the load changes. The processed data is shown in Table 3 below. For example, in Table 3, 379N at 0 seconds and 376N at 2s are deleted, and the maximum value of 395N is used as the loading load, and the load value of 395N is delayed by 2s, so that the load value at 6s is also 395N. Similarly, the maximum value of 570N within 8s-10s is used as the load of this loading stage, and the data such as 671, 283, etc. are rounded to 675N and 285N.

[0074]

[0075] Table 3

[0076] Furthermore, in one embodiment, step S106 also includes: obtaining a fatigue load set of the UAV according to the hovering load and the updated structural load set.

[0077] Among them, the fatigue load set of the UAV is obtained according to the hovering load and the updated structural load set, including: respectively obtaining the difference between each structural load in the updated structural load set and the hovering load, and using the data set composed of each difference as the fatigue load set of the UAV.

[0078] For example, compare each structural load in Table 3 with the hovering load 375N, and calculate the difference between the structural load and the hovering load. When the structural load N>375N, it means that the UAV is in a loaded state. When the structural load N<375N, it means that the UAV is in an unloaded state. When the load N=375, it means that the UAV is in a balanced state. Arrange all loading and unloading states in chronological order to obtain the loading and unloading conditions of the UAV in each time period. Therefore, the difference between each structural load in Table 3 and the hovering load 375N can be obtained to obtain the fatigue load set of the UAV as shown in Table 4.

[0079]

[0080] Table 4

[0081] Step S108, generating a load variation curve diagram of the UAV performing a single mission according to each fatigue load in the fatigue load set as a single mission profile fatigue load spectrum of the UAV.

[0082] In the specific implementation, after obtaining the fatigue load set of the UAV, the load change curve of the UAV performing a single task can be drawn according to the change of each fatigue load in the fatigue load set over time, which is used as the fatigue load spectrum of the single task profile of the UAV, that is, the simplified fatigue load spectrum of a flight takeoff and landing of the UAV. Figure 4 As shown in Table 4, it is a schematic diagram of the fatigue load spectrum of a single mission profile obtained by plotting the corresponding relationship between the fatigue load and time in Table 4. It should be noted that due to the limitation of data volume, Table 4 only contains part of the data during the execution of a single mission of the UAV. Figure 4 The fatigue load spectrum of the single mission profile shown only shows the fatigue load spectrum of 68s.

[0083] In the above-mentioned method for obtaining fatigue load spectrum of UAV, by obtaining the overload data set of the UAV during the execution of a single task, the structural load set of the UAV during the execution of a single task can be obtained according to the overload data set and the gravity of the UAV, and then the hovering load on the frame of the UAV when hovering is obtained, and the fatigue load set of the UAV can be obtained according to the hovering load and the structural load set; finally, according to each fatigue load in the fatigue load set, a load change curve diagram of the UAV performing a single task is generated as the fatigue load spectrum of the single task profile of the UAV. This method obtains the fatigue load spectrum of the whole UAV by measuring the overload data of the whole UAV during flight, so that the inertial measurement unit in the UAV flight control system is used to replace the strain measurement sensor, and the fatigue load spectrum of the UAV can be obtained. The acceleration measurement and data recording function of the UAV's own inertial navigation system is used to perform statistical processing on the recorded acceleration data, and the fatigue load spectrum of the whole UAV structure is obtained by conversion, which greatly simplifies the collection and measurement process of the fatigue load spectrum data of the UAV. There is no need to add additional measuring equipment, and additional whole-machine structural load collection and measurement sensors and recording equipment, power supply systems, etc. are eliminated, so that the collection of UAV fatigue load spectra is no longer limited by the take-off weight and loading capacity of the UAV body itself, making the collection of fatigue load spectra of small industrial-grade UAVs possible.

[0084] In one embodiment, the above step S102 specifically includes: obtaining an acceleration data set of the drone during the execution of a single task; respectively obtaining the ratios of each acceleration in the acceleration data set to the gravity acceleration, and using the data set composed of each ratio as the overload data set of the drone.

[0085] In the specific implementation, since the inertial measurement unit is essentially an acceleration measurement unit, it is used to input the unfiltered acceleration (Ax, Ay, Az) in all directions during the flight of the UAV. Therefore, after obtaining the acceleration data set from the inertial measurement unit, the vector summation of each acceleration at each time point can be performed to obtain the total acceleration, and then the ratio of the total acceleration at each time point to the gravity acceleration is calculated, and the data set composed of each ratio is used as the overload data set.

[0086] In this embodiment, after obtaining the acceleration data set of the UAV during the execution of a single mission, the ratios of each acceleration to the gravitational acceleration are calculated respectively to obtain the overload data set, so as to further determine the structural load set and the fatigue load set based on the overload data set, and finally generate the UAV's mission profile fatigue load spectrum based on the fatigue load set.

[0087] In one embodiment, after the above step S108, it also includes: determining the number of flights of the UAV and the total fatigue test time according to the life of the UAV and the flight time of a single mission, and using the number of flights as the number of loading times of the fatigue load spectrum of the mission profile; within the total fatigue test time, generating the fatigue load spectrum of the UAV according to the number of loading times and the fatigue load spectrum of the single mission profile.

[0088] In specific implementation, the life of the drone can be used as the total fatigue test time, and the ratio of the drone life to the flight time of a single mission can be calculated to obtain the number of flights that the drone can fly in its entire life. During the total fatigue test time, the fatigue load spectrum of a single mission profile is cyclically loaded according to the number of flights, thereby obtaining the fatigue load spectrum of the entire life of the drone.

[0089] For example, according to the fatigue load test standard, assuming that the design life of the UAV is 2000 hours and the actual flight time of a single mission profile is 30 minutes, then during the entire design life of the UAV, the UAV needs to fly: 2000 hours ÷ 30 minutes / time = 4000 times, that is, the fatigue load spectrum of the obtained single mission profile needs to be cycled 4000 times, thus we can get the following: Figure 5 The fatigue load spectrum of the UAV shown in the figure is 2000 hours of flight during its service life. Figure 5 Only a portion of the fatigue load spectrum is shown as an example.

[0090] In this embodiment, by obtaining the flight time of the UAV to perform a single mission, the number of flights of the UAV can be determined after the life of the UAV is obtained, and then the fatigue load spectrum of the UAV during its life can be obtained according to the number of flights and the fatigue load spectrum of the single mission profile of the UAV. The fatigue load spectrum of the UAV obtained can be further used as an input condition to calculate and test the whole machine mechanism, so as to evaluate the fatigue condition of the whole structure of the UAV.

[0091] In another embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, a method for obtaining fatigue load spectrum of a UAV is provided, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0092] Step S602, obtaining an acceleration data set of the UAV during the execution of a single mission;

[0093] Step S604, respectively obtaining the ratios of each acceleration in the acceleration data set to the gravity acceleration, and using the data set composed of each ratio as the overload data set of the UAV;

[0094] Step S606, obtaining a preset UAV design load safety factor, and respectively obtaining the product of each overload data in the overload data set, the UAV design load safety factor, and the gravity of the UAV, and using the data set composed of each product as the structural load set of the UAV;

[0095] Step S608, determining multiple stages of the UAV in the process of performing a single task and stage identifiers corresponding to each stage according to the load values ​​of each structural load in the structural load set;

[0096] Step S610, according to the stage identifiers corresponding to the stages, determining the target structural load from the multiple structural loads corresponding to the stages, replacing the multiple structural loads corresponding to the stages with the target structural load, and obtaining an updated structural load set;

[0097] Step S612, respectively obtaining the difference between each structural load and the hovering load in the updated structural load set, and using the data set composed of each difference as the fatigue load set of the UAV;

[0098] Step S614, generating a load variation curve diagram of the UAV performing a single mission according to each fatigue load in the fatigue load set, as a single mission profile fatigue load spectrum of the UAV.

[0099] The method for obtaining the fatigue load spectrum of a UAV provided in this embodiment obtains the fatigue load spectrum of the entire UAV by measuring the acceleration of the entire UAV during flight, thereby using the acceleration sensor in the UAV flight control system to replace the traditional strain measurement sensor, and obtaining the fatigue load spectrum of the UAV. The acceleration measurement and data recording function of the UAV's own inertial navigation system is used to perform statistical processing on the recorded acceleration data, and the fatigue load spectrum of the entire UAV structure is obtained by conversion, which greatly simplifies the collection and measurement process of the fatigue load spectrum data of the UAV. In addition, there is no need to add additional measurement equipment, and additional entire structure load collection and measurement sensors and recording equipment, power supply systems, etc. are omitted, so that the collection of the fatigue load spectrum of the UAV is no longer limited by the take-off weight and loading capacity of the UAV body itself, making the collection of fatigue load spectra of small industrial-grade UAVs possible.

[0100] It should be understood that although Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The steps in the flowchart are shown in sequence as indicated by the arrows, but these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified in this document, there is no strict order restriction for the execution of these steps, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6At least part of the steps may include multiple sub-steps or multiple stages. These sub-steps or stages are not necessarily executed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these sub-steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least part of the sub-steps or stages of other steps.
