AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, aircraft often have residual water in their water tanks after a flight, leading to a waste of fuel and water resources. The inability to intelligently control the amount of water added increases operating costs.

Method used

By acquiring flight information and the remaining water tank volume, the target water consumption is calculated. The water supply is intelligently controlled using a booster pump, taking into account flow error compensation values ​​to ensure the accuracy of water supply and reduce human error.

🎯Benefits of technology

It enables intelligent control of the water filling process for aircraft water tanks, reduces human judgment errors, ensures the accuracy of water filling, and saves fuel and water costs.

Abstract

The application discloses a kind of methods, systems, equipment and media for intelligently controlling aircraft water supply, comprising: obtaining the navigation information of the flight to be flown and the residual water volume of aircraft water tank;Navigation information includes flight time, the number of people on board and aircraft model;According to navigation information, calculate the target water consumption of the flight to be flown;When residual water volume is lower than target water consumption, send first instruction to booster pump of water supply truck to start booster pump to add water to aircraft water tank;Obtain the actual flow when water supply truck discharges water, calculate flow error compensation value according to actual flow and preset flowmeter signal acquisition time interval;According to the residual water volume of aircraft water tank, target water consumption and flow error compensation value, calculate the water addition of aircraft water tank;When the water discharge of water supply truck is equal to the water addition of aircraft water tank, send second instruction to booster pump to shut down booster pump and end water supply.
