[0047] 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.

[0048] 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.

[0049] Figure 1 This is the first flow chart of the collaborative flight control method based on a weather station and a base station of the present invention. This embodiment proposes a collaborative flight control method based on a weather station and a base station, the method comprising:

[0050] S1. When the aircraft is flying along a preset route, query and obtain the first station location and first station attributes of the weather station according to the current weather data request;

[0051] S2. When the first station is located within the route of the preset route and the first station is a co-located station for meteorological communication, sending the meteorological data request to the co-located station so that the co-located station sends the collected meteorological data to the aircraft;

[0052] S3. When the first site location is not within the route range of the preset route, query and obtain a second site location and a second site attribute of the base station;

[0053] S4. When the second site is within the route range and the second site attribute is an independent base station, the meteorological data request is sent to the independent base station so that the independent base station obtains the meteorological data collected by the meteorological station within its own communication range and forwards it to the aircraft.

[0054] Optionally, in this embodiment, the components of an independent weather station include: wind direction sensor, wind speed sensor, rain sensor, ambient temperature sensor, ambient humidity sensor, water immersion sensor, air pressure sensor, vibration sensor, light sensor, satellite positioning equipment, wired network equipment, solar panels, wind turbines, voltage-stabilized power supplies and batteries, etc.

[0055] Optionally, in this embodiment, another non-independent weather station is a co-built station obtained by combining with a conventional base station. The co-built station is composed of: base station network equipment, wind direction sensor, wind speed sensor, rain sensor, ambient temperature sensor, ambient humidity sensor, water immersion sensor, air pressure sensor, vibration sensor, light sensor, satellite positioning equipment, wired network equipment, solar panels, wind turbines, voltage-stabilized power supplies and batteries, etc.

[0056] Optionally, in this embodiment, an independent weather station maintains a wired connection with a nearby independent base station or co-built station through a wired network device. It can be understood that in this case, the independent weather station is generally not far from the wired independent base station or co-built station, and the meteorological data collected by the independent weather station can more accurately reflect the weather conditions when the aircraft flies over the above-mentioned independent base station or co-built station. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the same independent base station or co-built station can maintain a wired connection with multiple independent weather stations. It can be understood that the number of independent weather stations can be much larger than the number of independent base stations or co-built stations, thereby improving the coverage of meteorological data collection while effectively reducing the laying cost of the above-mentioned various types of equipment.

[0057] Optionally, in this embodiment, without considering the installation cost or environment of various equipment, in order to achieve a full range of meteorological data services, the following is also proposed: Figure 6The control scheme shown in the figure includes: a fully automatic weather station deployed at the takeoff point, collecting weather data and transmitting it over the network to the server, the command and dispatch center, and the aircraft's onboard computer; a fully automatic weather station deployed at the landing point, collecting weather data and transmitting it over the network to the server, the command and dispatch center, and the aircraft's onboard computer; fully automatic weather stations A and B deployed along the route according to preset conditions, collecting weather data and transmitting it over the network to the server, the command and dispatch center, and the aircraft's onboard computer; unmanned communication private network base stations deployed along the route to enable aircraft to communicate with the command and dispatch center, server, and weather station to obtain weather data; public network base stations deployed along the route to enable aircraft to communicate with the command and dispatch center, server, and weather station to obtain weather data; alternate landing points A and B planned and constructed along the route, with fully automatic weather stations deployed at the alternate landing points, interconnecting and sharing data with the command and dispatch center, server, and aircraft; autonomous aircraft, using their own private network equipment or public network equipment, interconnect and share data with the command and dispatch center, server, and weather station; and a command and dispatch center and server deployed to interconnect and control data with aircraft, base stations, and weather stations. The implementation method for the above-mentioned equipment deployment scheme is to forward meteorological data collected by various independent or non-independent ground weather stations within the current route range via a wired or wireless network to a command and dispatch center for early warning. Simultaneously, a preset level or type of early warning is forwarded to the aircraft's onboard computer. When the onboard computer calculates and confirms that a preset safety threshold has been reached, it issues a command to the aircraft's flight control module, which in turn controls the aircraft to execute the corresponding return procedure. Optionally, in this embodiment, if the battery level is insufficient for return, the aircraft will select a nearby safe landing point for an alternate landing. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the aircraft collects airspeed data using an installed airspeed meter, compares it with the ground speed, and determines the corresponding power output percentage. For example, this determines whether the current wind level and weather conditions meet the requirements for safe operation. If not, an alternate landing or return procedure will be executed. Optionally, in this embodiment, ground and airborne meteorological sensors are pre-deployed to collect relevant data and forward it to the command and dispatch center and the aircraft via a reliable network. Optionally, in this embodiment, a weather warning value is set in advance to trigger an emergency return or alternate landing of an aircraft, thereby avoiding the occurrence of flight accidents.

[0058] It is understandable that the above scheme is designed on the premise that each base station can communicate with the command and dispatch center and the server wirelessly or by wire. However, for some relatively remote forest or grassland areas, it is impossible to establish a communication network covering the entire route through each base station. In this case, the base station can only rely on its own communication capabilities to share meteorological data with the aircraft. Specifically, in one embodiment, when the aircraft flies along a preset route, the first station location and first station attribute of the meteorological station are queried and obtained according to the current meteorological data request; when the first station location is within the route range of the preset route and the first station attribute is a co-built station for meteorological communication, the meteorological data request is sent to the co-built station so that the co-built station sends the collected meteorological data to the aircraft; when the first station location is not within the route range of the preset route, the second station location and second station attribute of the base station are queried and obtained; when the second station location is within the route range and the second station attribute is an independent base station, the meteorological data request is sent to the independent base station so that the independent base station obtains the meteorological data collected by the meteorological station within its own communication range and forwards it to the aircraft.

[0059] Optionally, in this embodiment, the onboard computer of the aircraft is preset to include a database of weather stations and base stations, in which the first site location and first site attributes of the weather stations in the relevant area, as well as the second site location and second site attributes of the base stations can be obtained based on the geographic location information.

[0060] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first site attribute includes two attribute values, indicating whether the weather station is an independent weather station or a co-built site. Similarly, the second site attribute also includes two attribute values, indicating whether the base station is an independent base station or a co-built site. It is understood that for co-built sites, the search indexes of weather stations and base stations can be used to query the above database.

[0061] The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that, when an aircraft flies along a preset route, the first station location and first station attribute of a weather station are queried and obtained according to the current weather data request; when the first station location is within the route range of the preset route and the first station attribute is a co-built station for weather communication, the weather data request is sent to the co-built station, so that the co-built station transmits the collected weather data to the aircraft; when the first station location is not within the route range of the preset route, the second station location and second station attribute of a base station are queried and obtained; when the second station location is within the route range and the second station attribute is an independent base station, the weather data request is sent to the independent base station, so that the independent base station obtains weather data collected by weather stations within its communication range and forwards it to the aircraft. This implements an aircraft weather data acquisition solution based on weather stations and base stations, enabling aircraft to effectively obtain weather data along the route, greatly improving the aircraft's ability to cope with adverse weather conditions during autonomous flight and enhancing safety.

[0062] Figure 2 This is a second flow chart of the collaborative flight control method based on a weather station and a base station according to the present invention. Based on the above embodiment, when the aircraft flies along a preset route, the first station location and first station attributes of the weather station are queried and obtained according to the current weather data request, and then the following steps are included:

[0063] S51: When the first station is within the route range and the first station is an independent weather station, query a base station that maintains wired communication with the independent weather station;

[0064] S52. When the second site location of the base station is within the route range, send the meteorological data request to the base station, so that the base station obtains the meteorological data collected by the meteorological station maintaining wired communication and forwards it to the aircraft.

[0065] Optionally, in this embodiment, when the second site location of the base station is within the route range and the aircraft flies to the communication range of the base station, the meteorological data request is sent to the base station so that the base station obtains the meteorological data collected by the meteorological station that maintains wired communication, and before the aircraft leaves the above-mentioned communication range, the meteorological data collected by the meteorological station is forwarded to the aircraft through the base station.

[0066] Figure 3 This is a third flow chart of the collaborative flight control method based on a weather station and a base station of the present invention. Based on the above embodiment, the query of the base station that maintains wired communication with the independent weather station then includes:

[0067] S53. When the second site position of the base station is not within the route range, adjusting the preset route so that the flight trajectory of the aircraft passes through the communication range of the base station;

[0068] S54. When the aircraft enters the communication range according to the adjusted flight trajectory, the meteorological data request is sent to the base station, so that the base station obtains the meteorological data collected by the meteorological station maintaining wired communication and forwards it to the aircraft.

[0069] Optionally, in this embodiment, when the aircraft enters the communication range according to the adjusted flight trajectory, the meteorological data request is sent to the base station so that the base station obtains the meteorological data collected by the meteorological station that maintains wired communication, and before the aircraft leaves the above-mentioned communication range, the meteorological data collected by the meteorological station is forwarded to the aircraft through the base station.

[0070] Optionally, in this embodiment, when an independent base station establishes wired communication connections with multiple weather stations, the weather station closest to the flight trajectory of the aircraft is selected as the collection site for current weather data.

[0071] Figure 4 This is a fourth flow chart of the collaborative flight control method based on a weather station and a base station of the present invention. Based on the above embodiment, the query and acquisition of the second site location and the second site attribute of the base station then include:

[0072] S55. When the second station is not located within the route range and the second station is a co-built station, adjusting the preset route so that the flight trajectory of the aircraft passes through the communication range of the co-built station.

[0073] S56: When the aircraft enters the communication range according to the adjusted flight trajectory, send the meteorological data request to the co-built station, so that the co-built station sends the collected meteorological data to the aircraft.

[0074] Optionally, in this embodiment, when the aircraft enters the communication range according to the adjusted flight trajectory, the meteorological data request is sent to the co-construction station, so that the co-construction station sends the collected meteorological data to the aircraft before the aircraft leaves its own communication range.

[0075] Figure 5 This is a fifth flow chart of the collaborative flight control method based on a weather station and a base station of the present invention. Based on the above embodiment, the query and acquisition of the second site location and the second site attribute of the base station further includes:

[0076] S57: When the second site is not within the route range and the second site is an independent base station, query whether there is a weather station that maintains wired communication with the independent base station;

[0077] S58. If so, the preset route is adjusted so that the flight trajectory of the aircraft passes through the communication range of the independent base station, and when the aircraft enters the communication range according to the adjusted flight trajectory, the meteorological data request is sent to the independent base station, so that the independent base station obtains the meteorological data collected by the meteorological station that maintains wired communication and forwards it to the aircraft.

[0078] Optionally, in this embodiment, when an independent base station establishes wired communication connections with multiple weather stations, the weather station closest to the flight trajectory of the aircraft is selected as the collection site for current weather data.

[0079] Optionally, in this embodiment, when the query shows that the positions of multiple independent base stations are not within the route range, the positions of each wired weather station among the multiple independent base stations are obtained, and the weather station closest to the flight trajectory of the aircraft is selected as the collection site for the current meteorological data, that is, the base station that establishes a wired connection with the weather station is used as the communication base station of the aircraft, and the route is adjusted based on the position of this communication base station so that the flight trajectory of the aircraft passes through the communication range of the communication base station.
