[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiment of the present application more clear, the technical scheme of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the embodiments below. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0036] At present, in the scenario of replacing the unmanned aerial vehicle nacelle, there is a problem of low safety. Based on this, the present application provides an unmanned aerial vehicle nacelle mounting device and a detection method of unmanned aerial vehicle nacelle mounting, which can safely and reliably detect whether the nacelle is successfully mounted to the unmanned aerial vehicle, and power on the nacelle through the power-on device in the case of confirming that the nacelle is successfully mounted, thereby effectively avoiding the situation of contact sparking and electric leakage, and further significantly improving the safety of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
[0037] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present embodiment, first, a kind of unmanned aerial vehicle nacelle mounting device disclosed by the embodiment of the present application is introduced in detail, referring to Figure 1 The structure schematic view of the unmanned aerial vehicle nacelle mounting device shown in the figure, the unmanned aerial vehicle nacelle mounting device includes: nacelle mounting platform 1 and installation detection structure.
[0038] In an embodiment, the installation detection structure is arranged on the nacelle mounting platform, and the installation detection structure is electrically connected with the power-on device in the unmanned aerial vehicle. Exemplarily, the installation detection structure can include a first detection unit and a second detection unit.
[0039] In one example, the first detection unit directly determines whether the nacelle is successfully installed by contacting the nacelle. For example, if the first detection unit contacts the nacelle, it is determined that the nacelle is successfully installed; if the first detection unit does not contact the nacelle, it is determined that the nacelle is not successfully installed.
[0040] In one example, the second detection unit indirectly determines whether the nacelle is successfully installed by detecting whether the fixing structure on the nacelle mounting platform is fixed in place. For example, assuming that the fixing structure is a buckle, the buckle is used to mount the nacelle on the nacelle mounting platform by clamping, if the second detection unit detects that the buckle is clamped in place, it is determined that the nacelle is successfully installed; if the second detection unit detects that the buckle is not clamped in place, it is determined that the nacelle is not successfully installed.
[0041] In one embodiment, the installation detection structure connects the loop between the power-on device and the nacelle when it is detected that the nacelle is successfully installed on the nacelle mounting platform, so as to power on the nacelle by the power-on device. Optionally, the installation detection structure further includes a detection circuit, the power output end of the power-on device is electrically connected to the power input end of the nacelle through the detection circuit, and the loop between the power-on device and the nacelle is connected by controlling the switch tube in the detection circuit to be closed, so as to power on the nacelle by the power-on device.
[0042] The unmanned aerial vehicle nacelle mounting device provided by the embodiment of the present application has the installation detection structure on the nacelle mounting platform, which detects whether the nacelle is successfully installed on the nacelle mounting platform, and connects the loop between the power-on device and the nacelle when it is determined that the nacelle is successfully installed, so as to power on the nacelle by the power-on device. The embodiment of the present application can safely and reliably detect whether the nacelle is successfully installed on the unmanned aerial vehicle, and power on the nacelle by the power-on device when it is determined that the nacelle is successfully installed, thereby effectively avoiding the situation of contact sparking and electric leakage, and significantly improving the safety of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
[0043] In order to facilitate the understanding of the above-mentioned embodiments, the embodiment of the present application provides a specific structure of the installation detection structure, which includes a first detection unit, a second detection unit and a detection circuit. In one embodiment, the first detection unit generates a power-on control signal when it contacts the nacelle; the second detection unit connects the loop between the power-on device and the nacelle by controlling the detection circuit through the power-on control signal when it detects that the nacelle is successfully installed on the nacelle mounting platform. In order to facilitate the understanding of the installation detection structure, the first detection unit, the second detection unit and the detection circuit are explained and described respectively in the embodiment of the present application.
[0044] (1) For the above first detection unit: the first detection unit includes a first contact end, which is arranged on the first contact surface of the nacelle mounting platform, and the second contact end is arranged on the second contact surface of the nacelle. Wherein, the first contact end generates a power-on control signal when it contacts the second contact end. For ease of understanding, please continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The upper surface of the nacelle mounting platform is the first contact surface, and the first contact end 2 is arranged on the first contact surface, Figure 1 It is also shown that the first contact end 2 is a needle array; see Figure 2 The side of the nacelle in contact with the nacelle mounting platform is the second contact surface, and the second contact end 3 matched with the first contact end is arranged on the second contact surface, Figure 2 It is also shown that the second contact end 3 is also a needle array.
[0045] In actual application, in the case that the nacelle is successfully mounted to the nacelle mounting platform, the needle array on the nacelle will contact the needle array on the nacelle mounting platform, at which time the power-on control signal DET0 will be generated.
[0046] (2) For the above second detection unit: the second detection unit includes a plurality of micro switches, which are arranged inside the buckle of the nacelle mounting platform. Wherein, the buckle mounts the nacelle to the nacelle mounting platform by clamping, and the micro switch is closed when the buckle clamps successfully. For ease of understanding, please continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 Both sides of the nacelle mounting platform are provided with buckles 4, see Figure 5 Another structure diagram of the unmanned aerial vehicle nacelle mounting device is shown, Figure 3 It is shown that the micro switch X1 is arranged inside the buckle 4, and the micro switch is closed when the buckle is completely clamped.
[0047] In an example, the micro switch can be arranged at the contact point between the buckle and the unmanned aerial vehicle, and when the buckle is completely clamped, the buckle is clamped on the unmanned aerial vehicle body, and the inside of the buckle completely fits with the unmanned aerial vehicle body, so as to close the micro switch.
[0048] (3) For the above detection circuit: the detection circuit includes a micro switch subcircuit, a switch tube subcircuit and a voltage division subcircuit, one end of the micro switch subcircuit is grounded, the other end of the micro switch subcircuit is connected with one end of the voltage division subcircuit, the other end of the voltage division subcircuit is connected with the power output end of the power-on device, the first end and the second end of the switch tube subcircuit are connected in parallel to the voltage division subcircuit, and the third end of the switch tube subcircuit is connected with the power input end of the nacelle. In specific implementation, when each micro switch of the micro switch subcircuit is closed, the switch tube subcircuit is triggered to conduct, so as to conduct the loop between the power-on device and the nacelle.
[0049] For easy understanding, refer to Figure 4 the structure diagram of a detection circuit, Figure 4 It is shown that the micro switch X1 and the micro switch X2 use a series logic circuit, and only when the micro switch X1 and the micro switch X2 are both closed, the power-on control signal DET0 can be conducted with the zero voltage (ground).
[0050] Figure 4 It is shown that the voltage division subcircuit includes a plurality of voltage division resistors in series, specifically including a first voltage division resistor R1, a second voltage division resistor R2, and a third voltage division resistor R3.
[0051] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is also shown that the first end V0 and the second end V1 of the switch tube subcircuit are connected in parallel to the two ends of the first voltage division resistor R1 in the voltage division subcircuit. Among them, the switch tube subcircuit mainly includes a triode Q3. In specific implementation, the power-on control signal DET0 controls the power supply of the unmanned aerial vehicle to the nacelle at the same time.
[0052] In one example, when the power-on control signal DET0 is connected to the ground through the micro switch, the triode Q3 is turned on due to the start of the voltage division subcircuit, so that the triode Q3 is turned on, and after the triode Q3 is turned on, the nacelle starts normal power-on work.
[0053] In another example, after the nacelle is unloaded, the micro switch is opened due to the opening of the buckle, the power-on control signal DET0 does not form a loop with the ground, at this time the voltage division subcircuit cannot work, the triode Q3 is closed, and the unmanned aerial vehicle has no voltage output to the outside.
[0054] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is also shown that the other end of the micro switch subcircuit is connected to the external controller through the third voltage division resistor R3 in the voltage division subcircuit, and the micro switch subcircuit sends the nacelle detection signal to the external controller. Among them, when the nacelle detection signal DET1 is lower than the preset threshold, it indicates that the nacelle is successfully installed to the nacelle installation platform, and when the nacelle detection signal DET1 is higher than the preset threshold, it indicates that the nacelle is not successfully installed to the nacelle installation platform. The external controller can display the nacelle detection signal DET1, so that the staff can know the installation of the nacelle according to the nacelle detection signal DET1, and manually intervene in time when the nacelle is not installed in place.
[0055] In practical application, when the pogo pin array on the pod contacts the pogo pin array on the pod mounting platform during installation of the pod, the power-on control signal DET0 is connected, and if it is not installed in place, it will cause the power-on control signal DET0 to be in poor contact and the circuit to be disconnected. In addition, when the buckle is closed in place, the microswitch X1 and the microswitch X2 are pressed and closed, and if the buckle is not closed in place, the buckle cannot press the microswitch X1 and the microswitch X2 well, which will cause the microswitch X1 and the microswitch X2 to be disconnected.
[0056] In combination with the above Figure 4 , the microswitch X1 and the microswitch X2 are connected in series, and when the microswitch X1 and the microswitch X2 are both closed, the power-on control signal DET0 is grounded. At this time, due to the voltage division of the first voltage dividing resistor R1, the second voltage dividing resistor R2 and the third voltage dividing resistor R3, there is a voltage difference between the first end V0 and the second end V1, causing the triode Q3 to open, and the power supply output end VCC_IN of the power-on device outputs externally, and the pod is normally powered on. At the same time, the pod detection signal DET1 is pulled low, when the buckle is not closed in place, the microswitch X1 and the microswitch X2 are disconnected, the power-on control signal DET0 is suspended, and the pod detection signal DET1 is pulled high. At this time, the voltage between the first end V0 and the second end V1 is the same, causing the triode Q3 to be disconnected, and the power supply output end VCC_IN of the power-on device will not power the pod, and the pod cannot work. At the same time, the pod detection signal DET1 is pulled high, indicating that the pod is not installed in place.
[0057] The embodiment of the present application realizes double detection through the buckle and the pogo pin array, effectively improving the reliability of the detection result. The unmanned aerial vehicle pod mounting device provided by the embodiment of the present application provides a mutually coordinated circuit and structural device, which can be completed directly through a hardware circuit, and the pod will not be powered on before installation is completed. Only when the pod is installed (i.e., the buckle is closed in place), the pod will be powered on, achieving the desired purpose. In addition, the power supply output end of the power-on device has no voltage externally when the pod is not installed, and the pod can be successfully powered only after the installation of the pod is completed, so that contact sparking and electric leakage can be well avoided.
