Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mobile platform technology, and in particular to a control method and apparatus for a mobile platform. Background Technology

[0002] As an emerging tool, drones have made significant progress in fields such as plant protection operations and industry inspections.

[0003] Currently, drones can be powered by battery modules, which include battery cells and a battery management system. Due to differences in drone configuration and payload, battery modules are typically designed individually for different drones, and hardware-based error prevention measures are used to prevent different drones from sharing battery modules.

[0004] However, prohibiting different drones from sharing battery modules has the following drawbacks: 1) Designing and manufacturing battery modules separately for each drone increases the cost of the drone system; 2) When owning several similar drones, different battery modules need to be prepared for different drones, which greatly increases the cost of use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a control method and apparatus for a mobile platform to solve the problems caused by the prior art's prohibition of different drones sharing a battery module.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a control method for a mobile platform, wherein a battery module is detachably installed within the battery compartment of the mobile platform, the method comprising:

[0007] Before the mobile platform begins to move, based on the battery information of the battery module obtained, it is determined whether the mobile platform is within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module;

[0008] If not, the movable platform is prohibited from starting to move.

[0009] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a control device for a mobile platform, wherein a battery module is detachably installed in the battery compartment of the mobile platform, and the device includes: a memory and a processor;

[0010] The memory is used to store program code;

[0011] The processor calls the program code, which, when executed, performs the following operations:

[0012] Before the mobile platform begins to move, based on the battery information of the battery module obtained, it is determined whether the mobile platform is within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module;

[0013] If not, the movable platform is prohibited from starting to move.

[0014] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, the computer program comprising at least one piece of code, the at least one piece of code being executable by a computer to control the computer to perform the method described in any of the first aspects above.

[0015] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a computer program that, when executed by a computer, is used to implement the method described in any of the first aspects above.

[0016] This application provides a control method and apparatus for a mobile platform. Before the mobile platform starts moving, it determines whether the mobile platform is within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module based on the battery information of the acquired battery module. If not, the mobile platform is prohibited from starting to move. This avoids using the battery module to drive the mobile platform when the mobile platform is not among the devices that can share the battery module. It ensures that the mobile platform can only be driven by the battery module when it is among the devices that can share the battery module. This allows different mobile platforms to share the battery module, avoiding the problems caused by prohibiting different mobile platforms from sharing the battery module, and reducing the cost of the mobile platform system and lowering the usage cost.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] The control method for the mobile platform provided in this application embodiment can be applied to... Figure 1 The movable platform 11 shown is illustrated. Figure 1 As shown, the mobile platform 11 includes a battery compartment 11A and a control device 11B. A battery module 12 is detachably installed within the battery compartment 11A. The battery module 12 includes battery cells and a battery management system. The battery management system manages the battery cells, such as managing their charging and discharging. For example, the mobile platform 11 may include a drone or an unmanned vehicle.

[0025] Taking drones as an example of a mobile platform, traditional technologies typically require designing separate battery modules for different drones and using hardware-based error prevention to prevent different drones from sharing battery modules. However, the inventors discovered that when drones have similar payloads and other characteristics, the current supplied to the battery modules does not change significantly, making it possible to share battery modules among drones. Based on this, the control method for a mobile platform described in this application was proposed.

[0026] The control method for the mobile platform can be executed by the control device 11B. Specifically, before the mobile platform 11 starts moving, the control device 11B determines whether the mobile platform 11 is within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module 12 based on the battery information obtained from the battery module 12. If not, the mobile platform 11 is prohibited from starting to move.

[0027] The mobile platform control method provided in this application determines whether the mobile platform 11 is within the range of batteries that can be matched with the battery module 12 based on the battery information obtained before the mobile platform 11 starts moving. If it is not, the mobile platform 11 is prohibited from starting to move, so that different mobile platforms can share the battery module, avoiding the problems caused by prohibiting different mobile platforms from sharing the battery module, reducing the cost of the mobile platform system and lowering the usage cost.

[0028] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0029] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a mobile platform provided in an embodiment of this application. The execution entity in this embodiment can be... Figure 1 Control device 11B in the middle. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the method in this embodiment may include:

[0030] Step 21: Before the mobile platform starts moving, determine whether the mobile platform is within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module based on the battery information of the battery module obtained.

[0031] In this step, the range of devices compatible with the battery module refers to the range of devices that can be powered by the battery module. The representation of this range can be flexibly implemented according to requirements; for example, it can be represented using the models of devices that can be powered by the battery module. The range of devices may include at least two devices that can share the battery module, meaning that the battery module can power one of the at least two devices for a period of time, and the battery module can power the other of the at least two devices for another period of time. It should be noted that the range of devices compatible with different battery modules may or may not include the same device; this application does not limit this.

[0032] For example, the control device can be communicatively connected to the battery module, and can directly obtain the battery information of the battery module from the battery module. For instance, after the portable platform is powered on, the battery module can push its battery information to the control device.

[0033] The battery information can specifically reflect any type of information that can reflect the range of devices compatible with the battery module. Considering that the model number of the battery module can be used to distinguish the discharge characteristics of the battery module, thereby reflecting the range of devices compatible with the battery module, in one embodiment, the battery information may include model information.

[0034] In another embodiment, the battery information may further include charge / discharge cycle information. Considering that for the same model of battery module, its output power may decrease after a certain number of charge / discharge cycles, thus causing a change in the compatible devices, including charge / discharge cycle information in the battery module information helps improve the accuracy of the range of compatible devices reflected by the battery information.

[0035] Optionally, based on the battery information, a whitelist method can be used to determine whether the portable platform is within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module; or, based on the battery information, a blacklist method can be used to determine whether the portable platform is within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module.

[0036] It should be noted that when the mobile platform is within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module, it means that the mobile platform is included among the devices that can share the battery module, and the mobile platform can be powered by the battery module; when the mobile platform is not within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module, it means that the mobile platform is not included among the devices that can share the battery module, and the mobile platform cannot be powered by the battery module.

[0037] Step 22: If not, then prevent the movable platform from starting to move.

[0038] In this step, when the mobile platform is prohibited from starting to move, the mobile platform cannot respond to (i.e., ignores) the start-movement command for the mobile platform. This is to avoid a situation where the mobile platform is not within the range of devices compatible with the battery module, and the battery module serves as the power source for the mobile platform. The start-movement command may be triggered by the user operating the mobile platform, or it may be automatically triggered by the server.

[0039] If the movable platform is not within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module, the movable platform is prohibited from starting to move. This prevents the use of the battery module to drive the movable platform when the movable platform is not included in the range of devices that can share the battery module. It ensures that the movable platform can only be driven by the battery module when it is included in the range of devices that can share the battery module.

[0040] The mobile platform control method provided in this embodiment determines whether the mobile platform is within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module based on the battery information of the battery module before the mobile platform starts moving. If not, the mobile platform is prohibited from starting to move. This avoids using the battery module to drive the mobile platform when the mobile platform is not among the devices that can share the battery module. It ensures that the mobile platform can only be driven by the battery module when it is among the devices that can share the battery module. This allows different mobile platforms to share the battery module, avoiding the problems caused by prohibiting different mobile platforms from sharing the battery module, and can reduce the cost of the mobile platform system and lower the usage cost.

[0041] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a movable platform according to another embodiment of this application. This embodiment... Figure 2 Based on the illustrated embodiment, this paper mainly describes an optional implementation for determining whether a mobile platform is within the range of devices compatible with a battery module. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the method in this embodiment may include:

[0042] Step 31: Before the mobile platform begins to move, obtain a set of models that match the battery information.

[0043] In this step, the set of device models refers to the set of device models that can be matched with the battery information, representing the range of devices that can be matched with the battery information.

[0044] In one embodiment, the set of device models matching the battery information can be pre-stored in a local storage device. Specifically, obtaining the set of device models matching the battery information can include retrieving the set of device models matching the battery information from the local storage device. Taking the battery model number of the battery module reflecting the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module as an example, the local storage device can pre-store the correspondence between different battery models and device sets. Based on the model information included in the battery information, the set of device models corresponding to the model information can be found from the correspondence, thereby obtaining the set of device models matching the battery information.

[0045] In another embodiment, the set of device models matching the battery information can also be obtained from other devices outside the mobile platform. Specifically, obtaining the set of device models matching the battery information may include: requesting the set of device models matching the battery information from other devices; and receiving the set of device models returned by the other devices according to the request. The other devices can be flexibly implemented according to requirements. For example, the other devices may include the control terminal of the mobile platform, or the server of the mobile platform.

[0046] Step 32: Determine whether the model of the mobile platform is in the set of models.

[0047] In this step, the fact that the model of the portable platform is in the set of models indicates that the portable platform is within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module; the fact that the model of the portable platform is not in the set of models indicates that the portable platform is not within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module.

[0048] It should be noted that the set of device models in this embodiment can be understood as a whitelist, and steps 31 and 32 can be understood as using a whitelist to determine whether the mobile platform is within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module.

[0049] Step 33: If not, then prevent the movable platform from starting to move and output a first prompt message, which is used to prompt the replacement of a matching battery module.

[0050] In this step, if the movable platform is not in the set of models, the movable platform is prohibited from starting to move. This prevents the use of the battery module to drive the movable platform when the movable platform is not included in the devices that can share the battery module. It ensures that the movable platform can only be driven by the battery module when it is included in the devices that can share the battery module.

[0051] In one embodiment, the mobile platform can directly output the first prompt information. In another embodiment, the mobile platform can send the first prompt information to its control terminal, so that the control terminal can output the first prompt information. By outputting the first prompt information, the user can be promptly informed that a battery replacement is needed due to battery module incompatibility, which helps improve the efficiency of resolving problems where the mobile platform cannot be controlled to start moving, and enhances the user experience.

[0052] It should be noted that the output method of the first prompt information can be flexibly implemented according to the requirements. For example, the first prompt information can be output by an indicator light, by voice, or by text.

[0053] The control method for a portable platform provided in this embodiment obtains a set of models matching the battery information before the portable platform begins to move. It then determines whether the portable platform's model is in the set. If the portable platform's model is not in the set, it prevents the portable platform from starting to move and outputs a first prompt message. This allows different portable platforms to share the battery module, avoiding the problems caused by prohibiting different portable platforms from sharing the battery module, thus reducing the cost of the portable platform system and lowering usage costs. Furthermore, by outputting the first prompt message when the portable platform's model is not in the set, the user can be promptly informed that a battery replacement is needed due to battery module incompatibility, improving the user experience.

[0054] Based on the above method embodiments, optionally, the method provided in this application embodiment may further include: if the mobile platform is within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module, then the mobile platform is allowed to start moving.

[0055] Wherein, when the mobile platform is allowed to begin movement, the mobile platform is able to respond to a start movement command for the mobile platform, so that the mobile platform can be powered by the battery module within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module.

[0056] If the mobile platform is within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module, the mobile platform is allowed to start moving, so that when the mobile platform is included in a device that can share the battery module, the mobile platform can be driven to move using the battery module.

[0057] It should be noted that in practical applications, there may be situations where, although the mobile platform is within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module, movement is still prohibited due to other limiting factors.

[0058] If the mobile platform is within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module, then the mobile platform is allowed to start moving. Optionally, if the mobile platform is within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module, the method may further include: determining the maximum effective load supported by the battery module based on the effective output power information of the battery module; and outputting a second prompt message based on the maximum effective load, the second prompt message being used to indicate the maximum effective load.

[0059] In one embodiment, the effective output power of the battery module can be supplied to the control device, for example, by the battery module itself. In another embodiment, the battery module can supply its effective output voltage and effective output current to the control device, and the control device can calculate the effective output power based on the effective output voltage and effective output current.

[0060] Similar to the first prompt message described above, optionally, the mobile platform can directly output the second prompt message. Alternatively, optionally, the mobile platform can send the second prompt message to its control terminal, so that the control terminal can output the second prompt message. The output method of the second prompt message can be flexibly implemented according to needs. For example, the second prompt message can be output via indicator lights, voice, or text. By outputting the second prompt message, the user can know the maximum effective load that the mobile platform can carry when the battery module is currently the power source, which helps improve the user experience.

[0061] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a mobile platform according to another embodiment of this application. Based on the above method embodiments, this embodiment mainly describes a specific implementation when the mobile platform includes an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Figure 4 As shown, the method in this embodiment may include:

[0062] Step 41: Before the drone takes off, determine whether the drone is within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module based on the battery information of the battery module obtained.

[0063] In this step, for example, after the drone is powered on, the battery module can push its battery information to the control device. For instance, the battery information may include model information. Optionally, the battery information may also include information about the number of charge / discharge cycles.

[0064] For example, the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module can be represented as a set of models that match the battery information of the battery module. This set of models can be, for example, a list of models; however, in other embodiments, the set of models can take other forms, and this application does not limit this.

[0065] Optionally, a set of drone models matching the battery information can be obtained from local storage; or, alternatively, a set of drone models matching the battery information can be requested from other devices, and the set of drone models returned by the other devices according to the request can be received. The other devices may include the drone's control terminal or the drone's server.

[0066] Step 42: If not, then prohibit the drone from taking off.

[0067] In this step, when the drone is prohibited from taking off, the drone cannot respond to (i.e. ignore) the takeoff command for the drone, so as to avoid the situation where the drone is not within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module and the battery module is used as the power source for the drone.

[0068] If the drone is not within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module, the drone is prohibited from taking off. This prevents the use of the battery module to drive the drone when the drone is not among the devices that can share the battery module. It ensures that the drone can only be driven by the battery module when it is among the devices that can share the battery module.

[0069] Optionally, if the drone is not within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module, the method of this embodiment may further include: sending a first prompt message for prompting the replacement of a matching battery module to the control terminal of the drone, wherein the control terminal may have an application (APP) installed on it for users to control the drone, so that the first prompt message is output by the APP.

[0070] Optionally, if the drone is within the range of devices compatible with the battery module, then the drone is permitted to take off. It should be noted that in practical applications, there may be situations where, although the drone is within the range of devices compatible with the battery module, takeoff may still be prohibited due to other limiting factors.

[0071] In addition to allowing the drone to take off if it is within the range of devices compatible with the battery module, the method may further include: determining the maximum payload supported by the battery module based on the effective output power information of the battery module; and outputting a second prompt message to indicate the maximum payload based on the maximum payload.

[0072] The step of determining the maximum effective load supported by the battery module based on the effective output power information of the battery module may include, for example, the following steps a and b.

[0073] Step a: Based on the effective output power of the battery module and the power efficiency parameter c of the UAV, the maximum takeoff mass G supported by the battery module can be calculated using the following formula (1).

[0074] Formula G = P / c (1)

[0075] The unit of the power efficiency parameter c can be grams per watt (g / W), the unit of the effective output power can be watts (W), and the unit of the maximum takeoff mass G can be grams (g). The power efficiency parameters of the UAV are determined by the UAV model.

[0076] Step b: Based on the unloaded mass G0 of the UAV, the maximum effective payload F supported by the battery module can be calculated using the following formula (2).

[0077] Formula (2) F = G - G0

[0078] The units for the maximum takeoff mass G, empty mass G0, and maximum payload F can all be grams. The empty mass G0 of the UAV can be determined by the UAV model.

[0079] The mobile platform control method provided in this embodiment determines whether the drone is within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module before the drone takes off, based on the battery information of the battery module obtained. If not, the drone is prohibited from taking off. This avoids using the battery module to drive the drone when the drone is not among the devices that can share the battery module. It ensures that the drone can only be driven by the battery module when it is among the devices that can share the battery module. This allows different drones to share the battery module, avoiding the problems caused by prohibiting different drones from sharing the battery module, and can reduce the cost of the drone system and lower the cost of use.

[0083] Before the mobile platform begins to move, based on the battery information of the battery module obtained, it is determined whether the mobile platform is within the range of devices that can be matched with the battery module;
