[0024] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.
[0025] The explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application is described below. Figure 1 The explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application is described below.
[0026] The body 1 defines a positive pressure cabin, and the positive pressure cabin is filled with inert gas for explosion prevention. When the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100 is in use, the gas pressure of the inert gas in the positive pressure cabin is greater than the external pressure, so it is called "positive pressure". The positive pressure cabin is installed with electrical elements, and the electrical elements at least include a flight controller and a system power supply. The flight controller is used to control the flight state of the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100. One end of the arm 2 is connected with the body 1, and the explosion-proof motor 3 is correspondingly installed at the other end of the arm 2. The propeller 4 is correspondingly drivenly connected with the explosion-proof motor 3. The system power supply supplies power to the explosion-proof motor 3, and the explosion-proof motor 3 operates to drive the propeller 4 to rotate, so that the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100 has power take-off.
[0027] The body 1 has a gas filling port and a pressure relief port which are in communication with the internal positive pressure cabin. The gas filling port is used to fill the inert gas into the positive pressure cabin to increase the pressure in the positive pressure cabin, and the pressure relief port is used to discharge the inert gas from the positive pressure cabin to decrease the pressure in the positive pressure cabin. The gas filling valve 5 is arranged at the gas filling port of the body 1, and the pressure relief valve 6 is arranged at the pressure relief port of the body 1. The gas filling valve 5 and the pressure relief valve 6 cooperate to adjust the gas pressure in the positive pressure cabin, so that the gas pressure in the positive pressure cabin is kept within a reasonable range, and the explosion prevention purpose is better achieved.
[0028] The explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle provided by the embodiment of the application is a positive pressure type explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle. The body of the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle forms a positive pressure cabin inside the body. The cabin is filled with inert gas with a certain pressure. The inert gas covers the electrical elements in the body, prevents explosion caused by internal electrical short circuit, forms a stable explosion prevention mechanism, has good explosion prevention effect, solves the explosion prevention problem of the unmanned aerial vehicle when it is applied in a coal mine, and makes the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle have the advantage of high safety factor.
[0029] In some embodiments, the flight controller controls the flight of the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100 by controlling the output rotating speed of the explosion-proof motor 3. As an example, the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100 includes an electronic speed controller. The flight controller is signal connected with the electronic speed controller and sends a control signal to the electronic speed controller according to a remote controller instruction signal or the pressure / temperature in the positive pressure cabin. The electronic speed controller adjusts the rotating speed of the explosion-proof motor 3 according to the control signal.
[0030] In some embodiments, the pressure relief valve 6 can be communicatively connected with a remote guidance end. The pressure relief valve 6 is controlled to discharge gas by a remote end software, so that the pressure in the positive pressure cabin is consistent with the external pressure. After the gas is discharged, the body 1 can be opened to maintain and protect the electrical elements in the body 1. When it is necessary to fill the positive pressure cabin in the body 1 with inert gas, professional tools can be used to fill the inert gas into the positive pressure cabin through the gas filling valve 5 until the inert gas pressure in the positive pressure cabin reaches a preset value. When it is necessary to maintain the electrical elements in the body 1, the pressure relief valve 6 can be opened by using the remote end software, so that the inert gas in the positive pressure cabin is discharged through the pressure relief valve 6 until the gas pressure in the positive pressure cabin is consistent with the external pressure. Then, the positive pressure cabin is opened to maintain the electrical elements.
[0031] Of course, in other embodiments, both the pressure relief valve 6 and the inflation valve 5 can be opened or closed manually.
[0032] In some embodiments, in order to further improve the explosion-proof coefficient of the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100, it is necessary to ensure that there is no oxygen or very little oxygen in the positive pressure cabin. Therefore, before inflating the positive pressure cabin, the air in the positive pressure cabin should be pumped out. Specifically, using a special tool on the ground, the positive pressure cabin is pumped through the opened pressure relief valve 6 to make the positive pressure cabin reach a near-vacuum state, and then the inert gas is filled into the positive pressure cabin through the inflation valve 5. Alternatively, while pumping, inert gas is filled into the positive pressure cabin through the inflation valve 5. In this way, the air content in the machine body 1 can be reduced, and the electrical components can be better wrapped in inert gas with explosion-proof function.
[0033] Optionally, the inert gas is a mixture of one or more of helium, neon, argon, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide.
[0034] The connecting wire of the explosion-proof motor 3 passes through the arm 2 and is electrically connected to the system power source in the machine body 1. In some embodiments, the arm 2 is a hollow structure, and the wire passes through the arm 2 to electrically connect the system power source and the explosion-proof motor 3, and the arm 2 is filled with inert gas under positive pressure.
[0035] Further, the hollow inner cavity of the arm 2 is in communication with the positive pressure cabin in the machine body 1, so that the inert gas in the positive pressure cabin can be introduced into the arm 2, and the arm 2 is filled with inert gas under positive pressure. The inert gas under positive pressure in the arm 2 makes the electrical connection part of the explosion-proof motor 3 and the wire wrapped in explosion-proof inert gas, thereby further improving the explosion-proof coefficient of the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100, avoiding short circuit explosion at the electrical connection position of the explosion-proof motor 3, forming a complete explosion-proof system, solving the explosion-proof problem of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the coal mine, and making the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100 better adapt to the explosion-proof operation scene in the coal mine.
[0036] Further, the electrical part connection of the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application is all adopted explosion-proof terminal.
[0037] In some embodiments, the explosion-proof UAV 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application further comprises a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor and an explosion-proof controller. The detection ends of the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor are located in the positive pressure cabin of the machine body 1. The pressure sensor is used to monitor the gas pressure in the positive pressure cabin, and the temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature in the positive pressure cabin. The explosion-proof controller is installed in the positive pressure cabin and is in communication connection with each of the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor. The communication connection between the explosion-proof controller and the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor means that the explosion-proof controller can be connected by wires between the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor, or can be connected by wireless communication devices between the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor.
[0038] The pressure sensor and the temperature sensor transmit the detected detection signals to the explosion-proof controller. The explosion-proof controller receives the detection signals of the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor and judges whether the pressure detection value / temperature detection value in the positive pressure cabin exceeds the corresponding threshold range, that is, whether the pressure detection value exceeds the pressure set threshold range and whether the temperature detection value exceeds the temperature set threshold range. If it is judged that the pressure detection value exceeds the pressure set threshold range and / or the temperature detection value exceeds the temperature set threshold range, it means that the gas environment in the positive pressure cabin is abnormal at this time, and the explosion-proof controller sends an alarm signal to the flight controller. After receiving the alarm signal of the explosion-proof control, the flight controller takes safety measures to control the explosion-proof UAV 100 to land, return or cut off the power supply.
[0039] Specifically, the explosion-proof controller has a receiving module and a transmitting module. The receiving module of the explosion-proof controller is used to receive the detection signals transmitted by the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor, and the transmitting module of the explosion-proof control module is used to send an alarm signal to the flight controller.
[0040] Optionally, the explosion-proof controller and the flight controller can be connected by wires or wirelessly.
[0041] In some embodiments, the explosion-proof UAV 100 further comprises an automatic power-off device, which is electrically connected with the system power supply and is used to automatically cut off the system power supply. The flight controller is in communication connection with the automatic power-off device and is used to send a power-off signal to the automatic power-off device to control the automatic power-off device to cut off the system power supply, so as to further avoid the phenomenon of explosion of the electrical elements in the machine body 1.
[0042] It should be noted that the flight controller, the explosion-proof controller and the automatic power-off device can be a combination of hardware and software, or can be realized by hardware. Those skilled in the art can design and prepare a controller with corresponding control functions according to the relevant field knowledge, combined with the functional features and control logic proposed by the present application. The present application does not repeat the description.
[0043] In summary, the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor monitor the pressure and temperature inside the body positive pressure cabin, and when the explosion-proof controller detects that the pressure / temperature exceeds the standard threshold range or other abnormal states occur, an alarm signal is sent to the flight controller, the unmanned aerial vehicle takes safety measures such as returning home / landing in place, or the system power is cut off through the built-in automatic power-off device, thereby solving the problem of safe flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the coal mine, and the unmanned aerial vehicle can be better adapted to the explosion-proof operation scene in the coal mine.
[0044] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 The body 1 includes a cabin body 11 and a cabin door 12, the cabin door 12 is connected with the cabin body 11 to define the positive pressure cabin, and the cabin door 12 has an open state and a locked state. In the open state, the cabin door 12 can be opened, and the electrical elements in the body 1 can be maintained through the cabin door 12; in the locked state, the cabin door 12 is not allowed to be opened, and the body 1 is in a sealed state, and inert gas is filled into the positive pressure cabin.
[0045] Further, the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100 further includes a cabin door controller connected with the cabin door 12, for controlling the cabin door 12 to be in the open state or the locked state, and realizing the safety protection of the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100. Optionally, the cabin door controller is installed at the door lock of the cabin door 12, in the locked state, the cabin door 12 cannot be normally opened from the outside, and in the open state, the operator can normally open the door lock and open the cabin door 12 to maintain the electrical elements inside the positive pressure cabin.
[0046] The embodiment of the application also provides a control system of the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle, and the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100 is the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100 in any one of the above embodiments.
[0047] As shown in Figure 2 The control system of the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100 includes a flight control module, an explosion-proof control module and an automatic power-off module, the flight control module is used for controlling the flight state of the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100 by controlling the explosion-proof motor 3, the explosion-proof control module is used for emitting an alarm signal to the flight control module according to the pressure / temperature of the inert gas in the positive pressure cabin, the automatic power-off module is used for cutting off the system power, and the flight control module is used for controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to return home, land or send a power-off signal to the automatic power-off module to cut off the system power after receiving the alarm signal.
[0048] The flight control module is the general term of programs and algorithms built in the flight controller. The explosion-proof control module is the general term of programs and algorithms built in the explosion-proof controller. The flight controller is the combination of the flight control module and corresponding hardware, the explosion-proof controller is the combination of the explosion-proof control module and corresponding hardware. The automatic power-off module is the general term of programs and algorithms built in the automatic power-off device.
[0049] The explosion-proof control module judges whether the pressure and temperature in the positive pressure cabin exceed the corresponding set values according to the pressure signal and the temperature signal. When the explosion-proof control module concludes that at least one of the pressure and the temperature in the positive pressure cabin is greater than the corresponding set value through comparison, an alarm signal will be generated and sent. After receiving the alarm signal, the flight control module judges that an abnormal condition may occur in the positive pressure cabin. According to the safety program set in advance, the flight control module generates a homeward flight instruction or a landing instruction, and sends a control signal to the electronic speed regulator according to the instruction to control the rotating speed of the explosion-proof motor 3, so as to make the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100 return or land, or the flight control module cuts off the system power supply by controlling the automatic power-off module.
[0050] In some embodiments, the flight control module is also used to send a power-off signal to the automatic power-off module after detecting that the unmanned aerial vehicle lands. After receiving the power-off signal, the automatic power-off module sends a control signal to cut off the system power supply by using an algorithm or hardware.
[0051] In some embodiments, the control system of the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100 further includes a cabin door control module. The cabin door control module is used to control the cabin door 12 to be in an open state or a locked state. The cabin door control module is a general term of programs and algorithms built in the cabin door controller. The specific functions of the cabin door control module include:
[0052] When the gas pressure in the positive pressure cabin is greater than the external pressure, and / or the system power supply is not disconnected, the cabin door control module controls the cabin door 12 to be in a locked state;
[0053] When the gas pressure in the positive pressure cabin is consistent with the external pressure, and the system power supply is disconnected, the cabin door control module controls the cabin door 12 to be in an open state.
[0054] The cabin door control module can selectively use an algorithm or hardware or a combination of an algorithm and hardware to control the cabin door 12. When it is detected that the positive pressure cabin has positive pressure and / or the system power supply is not disconnected, the cabin door 12 is locked and cannot be opened, which realizes safety protection and can be well adapted to the coal mine underground explosion-proof operation scene. If the cabin door 12 is to be opened, it must be ensured that the internal pressure of the positive pressure cabin in the machine body 1 is consistent with the external atmospheric pressure after the pressure is released, and at the same time the system power supply has been disconnected.
[0055] In some embodiments, as Figure 2As shown, the flight control module is configured to send instructions to the hatch control module to control the locking or opening of the hatch 12. Specifically, the flight control module determines the pressure difference between the pressure in the positive pressure cabin and the atmospheric pressure according to the pressure detection signal transmitted by the pressure sensor. If the gas pressure in the positive pressure cabin is greater than the atmospheric pressure, the flight control module sends instructions to the hatch control module to keep the hatch 12 in the locked state. The flight control module also detects whether the system power is disconnected. If the system power is not disconnected, the flight control module sends instructions to the hatch control module to keep the hatch 12 in the locked state. If the flight control module determines that the gas pressure in the positive pressure cabin is consistent with the atmospheric pressure and detects that the system power is disconnected, the flight control module sends instructions to the hatch control module to switch the hatch 12 to the open state.
[0056] The embodiment of the present application also provides a control method of the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100. The control method of the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100 is based on the control system of the explosion-proof unmanned aerial vehicle 100 in any one of the above embodiments. The control method comprises the following steps.

[0058] Detecting the gas pressure of the positive pressure cabin and comparing it with the external pressure, and detecting the system power supply. When the gas pressure in the positive pressure cabin is greater than the external pressure and / or the system power supply is not disconnected, the positive pressure cabin is locked and closed. When the gas pressure in the positive pressure cabin is consistent with the external pressure and the system power supply is disconnected, the positive pressure cabin can be opened.
[0059] Detecting whether the unmanned aerial vehicle lands. If the unmanned aerial vehicle lands, the system power supply is controlled to be disconnected.

The explosion-proof motor is installed on the arm to realize the explosion-proof design of the whole machine, which can better adapt to the operation scene with high explosion-proof requirement.
