[0042] Figure 5 This is the fifth flow chart of the dynamic balancing method for combined flight of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0044] In the subsequent description, suffixes such as "module," "component," or "unit" used to represent elements are only used to facilitate the description of the present invention and have no specific meaning. Therefore, "module," "component," or "unit" can be used interchangeably.

[0045] Figure 1 This is the first flow chart of the dynamic balancing method for combined flight of the present invention. This embodiment proposes a dynamic balancing method for combined flight, which includes:

[0046] S1. During the takeoff preparation phase, if it is detected that the first balance state of the first aircraft is an unbalanced state, obtaining the current imbalance type and selecting a second aircraft and a third aircraft whose second and third balance states are both non-unbalanced states;

[0047] S2. If the imbalance type is left-right imbalance, the selected second aircraft and the selected third aircraft are connected to the left and right sides of the first aircraft, respectively. If the imbalance type is front-back imbalance, the selected second aircraft and the selected third aircraft are connected to the front and back ends of the first aircraft, respectively, so that the combined aircraft composed of the first aircraft, the second aircraft, and the third aircraft is in a non-imbalanced state.

[0048] Optionally, this embodiment considers a practical scenario where a fixed-wing drone is not in trim due to a temporary order change or cargo adjustment. Manually adjusting its trim is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and manual temporary trimming is unsafe within the takeoff and landing area. Therefore, this embodiment selects two other fixed-wing aircraft that meet the corresponding conditions to perform a combined takeoff with the fixed-wing drone. This combined aircraft can save additional manual trimming processes and improve the timeliness and flexibility of logistics transportation.

[0049] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first aircraft, the second aircraft, and the third aircraft are all fixed-wing aircraft.

[0050] Optionally, in this embodiment, if the imbalance type is left-right imbalance, the selected second aircraft and the third aircraft are rigidly connected to the left and right sides of the first aircraft through connecting rods, respectively.

[0051] Optionally, in this embodiment, if the imbalance type is front-rear imbalance, the selected second aircraft and the third aircraft are rigidly connected to the front and rear ends of the first aircraft through connecting rods, respectively.

[0052] Optionally, in this embodiment, since the masses of the second aircraft and the third aircraft are much greater than the balance difference of the first aircraft in an unbalanced state, and the second balance state and the third balance state of the second aircraft and the third aircraft are both non-unbalanced states, after a combined aircraft is formed by the first aircraft, the second aircraft and the third aircraft, the combined aircraft can be regarded as being in a non-unbalanced state.

[0053] The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that, during the takeoff preparation phase, if the first balance state of the first aircraft is monitored to be unbalanced, the current imbalance type is obtained, and a second aircraft and a third aircraft are selected whose second and third balance states are both unbalanced. If the imbalance type is left-right imbalance, the selected second aircraft and the third aircraft are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the first aircraft; if the imbalance type is front-back imbalance, the selected second aircraft and the third aircraft are respectively connected to the front and back ends of the first aircraft, so that the combined aircraft composed of the first aircraft, the second aircraft, and the third aircraft is in a unbalanced state. This implements a dynamic balancing solution based on dynamic combined flight of multiple aircraft, effectively solving the problem of fixed-wing aircraft imbalance caused by temporary order changes or cargo adjustments, and the poor timeliness of manual adjustments.

[0054] Figure 2 This is a second flow chart of the dynamic balancing method for combined flight according to the present invention. Based on the above embodiment, during the takeoff preparation phase, if the first balance state of the first aircraft is monitored to be an unbalanced state, the current imbalance type is obtained, and a second aircraft and a third aircraft whose second and third balance states are both non-unbalanced are selected. The method includes:

[0055] S11, obtaining imbalance data in the imbalance state;

[0056] S12: Determine quality difference data corresponding to the imbalance data, and select the second aircraft and the third aircraft having the quality difference data.

[0057] Optionally, in this embodiment, when quality difference data corresponding to the imbalance data exceeds a preset quality threshold, the second aircraft and the third aircraft having the quality difference data are selected.

[0058] Optionally, in this embodiment, the preset mass threshold is calculated based on the product of a preset ratio value and the mass value of the first aircraft.

[0059] Figure 3 This is a third flow chart of the dynamic balancing method for combined flight according to the present invention. Based on the above embodiment, during the takeoff preparation phase, if the first balance state of the first aircraft is monitored to be an unbalanced state, the current imbalance type is obtained, and a second aircraft and a third aircraft whose second and third balance states are both non-unbalanced are selected. The method includes:

[0060] S13, obtaining the imbalance level in the imbalance state;

[0061] S14. Determine a mass difference level corresponding to the imbalance level, and select the second aircraft and the third aircraft whose mass differences are within the mass difference level.

[0062] Optionally, different from the data division basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in this embodiment, the imbalance level is divided into high, medium and low levels, and corresponding high quality difference level, medium quality difference level and low quality difference level are set, as well as the quality difference ranges corresponding to the high quality difference level, medium quality difference level and low quality difference level respectively.

[0063] Optionally, in this embodiment, the second aircraft and the third aircraft within the quality difference level are determined according to the quality difference range of the actual quality difference.

[0064] Figure 4 This is a fourth flow chart of the dynamic balancing method for combined flight according to the present invention. Based on the above embodiment, if the imbalance type is left-right imbalance, the selected second aircraft and the selected third aircraft are connected to the left and right sides of the first aircraft, respectively. If the imbalance type is front-back imbalance, the selected second aircraft and the selected third aircraft are connected to the front and back ends of the first aircraft, respectively, so that the combined aircraft composed of the first aircraft, the second aircraft, and the third aircraft is in a non-imbalanced state. The method includes:

[0065] S21. Acquire imbalance data in the imbalance state, a second mass of the second aircraft, and a third mass of the third aircraft;

[0066] S22: Setting a left connecting rod length between the first aircraft and the second aircraft and a right connecting rod length between the first aircraft and the third aircraft based on the imbalance data, the second mass, and the third mass; or setting a front connecting rod length between the first aircraft and the second aircraft and a rear connecting rod length between the first aircraft and the third aircraft.

[0067] Optionally, in this embodiment, the length of the left connecting rod between the first and second aircraft, and the length of the right connecting rod between the first and third aircraft are set based on the imbalance data, the second mass, and the third mass. When the second mass and the third mass are the same, the length relationship between the left and right connecting rod lengths is related to the imbalance data. For example, when the imbalance data indicates that the left side is heavier than the right side, the left connecting rod length is shorter than the right connecting rod length. When the second mass and the third mass are different, the length relationship between the left and right connecting rod lengths is related to the imbalance data, the second mass, and the third mass. In other words, the lengths of the left and right connecting rods in a balanced state can be calculated based on the principle of leverage.

[0068] Optionally, in this embodiment, similarly, as described in the above example, for the scenario of front-rear imbalance, the length of the front connecting rod between the first aircraft and the second aircraft and the length of the rear connecting rod between the first aircraft and the third aircraft are set in the same manner.

[0069] Figure 5 This is a fifth flow chart of the dynamic balancing method for combined flight according to the present invention. Based on the above embodiment, if the imbalance type is left-right imbalance, the selected second aircraft and the selected third aircraft are connected to the left and right sides of the first aircraft, respectively. If the imbalance type is fore-aft imbalance, the selected second aircraft and the selected third aircraft are connected to the fore-aft ends of the first aircraft, respectively, so that the combined aircraft composed of the first aircraft, the second aircraft, and the third aircraft is in a non-imbalanced state. The method includes:

[0070] S23, obtaining imbalance data in the imbalance state;

[0071] S24. Adjust the second propulsion power parameter of the second aircraft and / or the third propulsion power parameter of the third aircraft according to the imbalance data, so that the combined aircraft is in a dynamically balanced flight state.

[0072] Optionally, unlike the above embodiment where the imbalance data is the imbalance data of the first aircraft, in this embodiment, the imbalance data is the imbalance data of the combined aircraft.

[0073] Optionally, in this embodiment, based on the imbalance data of the combined aircraft, one or more of the first propulsion power parameters of the first aircraft, the second propulsion power parameters of the second aircraft, and the third propulsion power parameters of the third aircraft are adjusted according to the imbalance data so that the combined aircraft is in a dynamically balanced flight state.

[0074] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention further provides a dynamic balancing device for combined flight, the device comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein when the computer program is executed by the processor, the following is achieved:

[0075] In the takeoff preparation phase, if it is monitored that the first balance state of the first aircraft is an unbalanced state, the current imbalance type is obtained, and the second aircraft and the third aircraft are selected, both of which have a second balance state and a third balance state that are not unbalanced.

[0076] If the imbalance type is left-right imbalance, the selected second aircraft and the selected third aircraft are connected to the left and right sides of the first aircraft respectively. If the imbalance type is front-back imbalance, the selected second aircraft and the selected third aircraft are connected to the front and back ends of the first aircraft respectively, so that the combined aircraft composed of the first aircraft, the second aircraft and the third aircraft is in a non-imbalanced state.

[0077] Optionally, when the computer program is executed by the processor, it implements:

[0078] Acquiring imbalance data in the imbalance state;

[0079] determining mass difference data corresponding to the imbalance data, and selecting the second aircraft and the third aircraft having the mass difference data;

[0080] or,

[0081] Taking the imbalance level under the imbalance state;

[0082] A mass difference level corresponding to the imbalance level is determined, and the second aircraft and the third aircraft having mass differences within the mass difference level are selected.

[0083] Optionally, when the computer program is executed by the processor, it implements:
