The military fields include: maritime reconnaissance, surveillance, communication relay and air defense countermeasures, and the civilian fields include: environmental monitoring, power inspection, agricultural plant protection, aerial photography and photogrammetry, etc. Existing water-air vehicles use a single propulsion power unit, which includes a hinge connection mechanism, an active blade and a driven blade. The active blade is connected to the motor output shaft, and the driven blade is movably connected to the active blade through a hinge connection mechanism.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.

[0055] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below.

[0056] The present application embodiment provides a method for controlling a water-air vehicle, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the power controller structure of a water-air vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application. A group of power controllers are respectively arranged on both sides of the wings of the water-air vehicle, and each group of power controllers includes: a motor 201, a fixed rod 202, two groups of first servos (not shown in the figure), a second servo (not shown in the figure) and a control frame (not shown in the figure) symmetrically arranged relative to the fixed rod 202; each group of control frames is provided with a first connecting rod 203, a second connecting rod 204 and a third connecting rod 205; the first ends of the first connecting rod 203 and the second connecting rod 204 are respectively hinged to the two ends of the third connecting rod 205; the two ends of the fixed rod 202 are respectively fixedly connected to the third connecting rod 205 and are in contact with the third connecting rod 205. The fixing rod 202 is perpendicular to each other, and is used to fix the motor 201; the first end of the output shaft of the motor 201 is provided with a rotor 206, and the second end of the output shaft of the motor 201 is provided with a propeller 207; the motor 201 is axially perpendicular to the fixing rod 202 and parallel to the third connecting rod 205; the second end of the first connecting rod 203 is connected to the first steering gear (not shown in the figure), and the second end of the second connecting rod 204 is connected to the second steering gear (not shown in the figure); the first steering gear (not shown in the figure) is used to control the rotation of the first connecting rod 203, and the second steering gear (not shown in the figure) is used to control the rotation of the second connecting rod 204; Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 A schematic flow chart of a method for controlling a water-air vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method comprises the following steps:

[0057] S101, the water-air vehicle obtains a first motor angle of the tth wheel.

[0058] Among them, the first motor angle of the t-th wheel is the angle between the third link 205 and the plane where the wing is located after the first link 203 and the second link 204 are controlled through the first control angle of the t-1-th wheel and the second control angle of the t-1-th wheel. The first control angle is the angle between the first link 203 and the plane where the wing is located, and the second control angle is the angle between the second link 204 and the plane where the wing is located.

[0059] Specifically, the water-air vehicle can control the first connecting rod 203 to rotate according to the first control angle of the t-1th wheel, and control the second connecting rod 204 to rotate according to the second control angle of the t-1th wheel. Then, the first connecting rod 203 and the second connecting rod 204 control the third connecting rod 205 to rotate, so as to change the first motor angle and obtain the first motor angle of the tth wheel.

[0060] S102, the water-air vehicle calculates a first control angle of the t-th wheel and a second control angle of the t-th wheel according to the first motor angle of the t-th wheel.

[0061] Specifically, the purpose of the water-aircraft obtaining the first motor angle of the t-th wheel is to calculate the first control angle of the t-th wheel and the second control angle of the t-th wheel according to the first motor angle of the t-th wheel, and then continue to control the first connecting rod 203 to continue to rotate according to the first control angle of the t-th wheel, and control the second connecting rod 204 to continue to rotate according to the second control angle of the t-th wheel, and then control the third connecting rod 205 to continue to rotate through the first connecting rod 203 and the second connecting rod 204. Since the motor 201 is fixed to the third connecting rod 205 through a fixing plate, the motor 201 will rotate synchronously with the third connecting rod 205. The first end of the output shaft of the motor 201 is provided with a rotor 206, and the second end of the output shaft of the motor 201 is provided with a propeller 207. The motor 201 rotates to change the position of the rotor 206 and the propeller 207. With such a configuration, the water-aircraft can realize the continuous change of the position of the control rotor 206 and the propeller 207.

[0062] S103, if the first motor angle of the t-th wheel is less than the first angle threshold, the first motor angle of the t-th wheel is greater than the second angle threshold and the rotor is on the lower surface of the water-aircraft, the water-aircraft controls the propeller to stop working, and controls the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to rotate toward the upper surface of the water-aircraft according to the first control angle of the t-th wheel and the second control angle of the t-th wheel.

[0063] The first angle threshold is smaller than the second angle threshold.

[0064] Specifically, the first angle threshold is -15°, and the second angle threshold is 15°. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3A schematic diagram of a process flow of a water-aircraft provided in an embodiment of the present application for converting from a surface navigation state to an air flight state. If the first motor angle of the t-th wheel is <-15°, the first motor angle of the t-th wheel is >15°, and the rotor 206 is on the lower surface of the water-aircraft, that is, the rotor 206 is above the water surface, the water-aircraft controls the blades of the propeller 207 to stop rotating. At this time, the water-aircraft is in a transition state from a surface navigation state to an air flight state. The water-aircraft gradually stops sailing on the water surface and floats on the water surface. The water-aircraft controls the first connecting rod 203 and the second connecting rod 204 to rotate toward the upper surface of the water-aircraft according to the first control angle of the t-th wheel and the second control angle of the t-th wheel. When the first connecting rod 203 and the second connecting rod 204 rotate toward the upper surface of the water-aircraft, they will also drive the third connecting rod 205 to rotate toward the upper surface of the water-aircraft, thereby driving the rotor 206 on the motor 201 to move toward the upper surface of the water-aircraft.

[0065] S104, if the first motor angle of the tth wheel is equal to 90° and the rotor is on the upper surface of the water-aircraft, the water-aircraft controls the rotor to start working.

[0066] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the power controller structure when the first motor angle provided in the embodiment of the present application is equal to 90° and the rotor 206 is on the upper surface of the water-air vehicle. When the first motor angle of the t-th wheel is equal to 90° (the third connecting rod 205 rotates to a vertical state) and the rotor 206 is on the upper surface of the water-air vehicle, the rotor 206 starts to rotate to make the water-air vehicle enter a hovering state on the water surface. At this time, the bottom of the water-air vehicle is in contact with the water surface, but there is no force between them.

[0067] With such a configuration, when the water-air vehicle is changing from a water-surface navigation state to an air-flight state, that is, when the rotor 206 moves from under the water surface to above the water surface, the rotor 206 remains stationary, and the blades of the rotor 206 will not be damaged by high-speed rotation and hitting the water surface. In this manner, the blades of the rotor 206 are evenly stressed, greatly reducing the risk of damage to the rotor 206.

[0068] The control method of the water-aircraft provided in the embodiment of the present application is that the wings of the water-aircraft are delta wings, and the power is provided by the motors 201 on both sides of the wings. The motor 201 controls the rotation of the output shaft through the brushless inner rotor. The first end and the second end of the output shaft respectively control the start and stop of the electromagnetic clutch. The electromagnetic clutch controls the start and stop of the differential through the gear transmission device. The differential controls the rotation of the blades of the rotor 206 and the propeller 207 through the bevel gear. The rotor 206 is a counter-rotating coaxial rotor, and the propeller 207 is a single-rotation propeller. The motor 201 is equipped with an encoder, which can accurately control the speed of the inner rotor of the motor 201.

[0069] When the water-air vehicle is converted from the surface navigation state to the air flight state, the water-air vehicle controls the first connecting rod 203 and the second connecting rod 204 to rotate toward the upper surface of the water-air vehicle according to the first control angle of the t-th wheel and the second control angle of the t-th wheel, thereby driving the rotor 206 on the motor 201 to move toward the upper surface of the water-air vehicle, until the first motor angle of the t-th wheel is equal to 90° and the rotor 206 is on the upper surface of the water-air vehicle, the rotor 206 starts to rotate. In this method, the rotor 206 is stationary during the process of moving from underwater to the water surface, and does not start to rotate until it is completely on the water surface (the upper surface of the water-air vehicle). Compared with the prior art, in which the active blades and transmission blades of the propulsion power unit suddenly move above the water surface under high-speed rotation, the blades of the rotor 206 in this method remain stationary during the process of leaving the water, and are evenly stressed, and will not be damaged due to high-speed rotation and hitting the water surface. In addition, the rotor 206 in the method is a counter-rotating coaxial rotor, and the blades are an integral body, which is different from the structure of the hinge connection mechanism, the active blades and the driven blades included in the propulsion power unit in the prior art, and the hinge connection mechanism will not be damaged, thereby extending the service life of the rotor 206. In addition, no additional auxiliary device is required to assist the water-air vehicle in converting from the water surface navigation state to the air flight state, thereby reducing the load of the water-air vehicle.

[0070] The following is an introduction to the process of a water-air vehicle switching from an airborne flight state to a water-surface navigation state. Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a process flow of a water-air vehicle switching from an airborne flight state to a water-surface navigation state provided in an embodiment of the present application. If the first motor angle of the t-th wheel is less than the first angle threshold, the first motor angle of the t-th wheel is greater than the second angle threshold, and the rotor 206 is on the upper surface of the water-air vehicle, the water-air vehicle controls the rotor 206 to stop working, and controls the first connecting rod 203 and the second connecting rod 204 to rotate toward the lower surface of the water-air vehicle according to the first control angle of the t-th wheel and the second control angle of the t-th wheel; if Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the power controller structure of the water-air vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application when the water-air vehicle is in a water-surface navigation state. If the first motor angle of the t-th wheel is less than or equal to the second angle threshold, the first motor angle of the t-th wheel is greater than or equal to the first angle threshold, and the propeller 207 is on the lower surface of the water-air vehicle, the water-air vehicle controls the propeller 207 to start working.

[0071] Specifically, the first angle threshold is -15°, and the second angle threshold is 15°. If the first motor angle of the t-th wheel is <-15°, the first motor angle of the t-th wheel is >15°, and the rotor 206 is on the upper surface of the water-aircraft, that is, the rotor 206 is above the water surface, the water-aircraft controls the blades of the rotor 206 to stop rotating. At this time, the water-aircraft is in a transition state from an air flight state to a water surface navigation state. The water-aircraft gradually descends to the water surface and floats on the water surface. The water-aircraft controls the first connecting rod 203 and the second connecting rod 204 to rotate toward the lower surface of the water-aircraft according to the first control angle of the t-th wheel and the second control angle of the t-th wheel. When the first connecting rod 203 and the second connecting rod 204 rotate toward the lower surface of the water-aircraft, they will also drive the third connecting rod 205 to rotate toward the lower surface of the water-aircraft, thereby driving the propeller 207 on the motor 201 to move toward the lower surface of the water-aircraft.

[0072] In this way, when the water-air vehicle is converted from an airborne flight state to a water-surface navigation state, that is, when the rotor 206 moves from the water surface to under the water surface, the rotor 206 remains stationary, and the blades of the rotor 206 will not be damaged by high-speed rotation and hitting the water surface. In this way, the blades of the rotor 206 are evenly stressed, which greatly reduces the risk of damage to the rotor 206 and prolongs the service life of the rotor 206.

[0073] The following is an introduction to the process of the water-air vehicle's aerial flight state. Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the aerial flight state of the water-air vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application. After the control rotor 206 starts to work, the first connecting rod 203 and the second connecting rod 204 are controlled to rotate toward the upper surface of the water-air vehicle according to the first control angle of the t-th wheel and the second control angle of the t-th wheel; Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the power controller structure of the water-air vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application when the water-air vehicle is in an airborne state. If the first motor angle of the t-th wheel is equal to 0° and the rotor 206 and the propeller 207 are both on the upper surface of the water-air vehicle, the first connecting rod 203 and the second connecting rod 204 are controlled to stop rotating.

[0074] Specifically, after the water-aircraft is in a hovering state, the first connecting rod 203 and the second connecting rod 204 are controlled to rotate toward the upper surface of the water-aircraft according to the first control angle of the t-th wheel and the second control angle of the t-th wheel. While the first connecting rod 203 and the second connecting rod 204 are rotating toward the upper surface of the water-aircraft, the third connecting rod 205 will also be driven to rotate toward the upper surface of the water-aircraft until the first motor angle of the t-th wheel is equal to 0° (the third connecting rod 205 is parallel to the plane where the water-aircraft is located) and the rotor 206 and the propeller 207 are both on the upper surface of the water-aircraft. At this time, the water-aircraft maintains horizontal flight in the air. In particular, during the process of the first connecting rod 203 and the second connecting rod 204 rotating toward the upper surface of the water-aircraft, in order to save power, the water-aircraft controls the first connecting rod 203 to rotate toward the upper surface of the water-aircraft alone through the first servo (not shown in the figure), such as Fig. 9 As shown, Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of the power controller structure when the first motor angle is equal to the second control angle when the water-air vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application is in the air flight state. If the first motor angle is equal to the second control angle, the second connecting rod 204 and the third connecting rod 205 will be stuck, and at this time, the first steering gear (not shown in the figure) is controlled to stop working, and the second connecting rod 204 is controlled to rotate toward the upper surface of the water-air vehicle through the second steering gear (not shown in the figure) alone, so that the third connecting rod 205 continues to rotate toward the upper surface of the water-air vehicle.

[0075] In this way, the water-aircraft gradually takes off from the hovering state, and maintains horizontal flight in the air by continuously adjusting the first motor angle. When the water-aircraft is flying in the air, since the motor 201 is equipped with an electromagnetic clutch, the propeller 207 stops rotating, which does not affect the operation of the rotor 206. In addition, the motor 201 is small in size, which reduces the load of the water-aircraft when it is flying in the air.

[0076] In one embodiment, the water-air vehicle obtains the attitude angle of the t-1th wheel and the target attitude angle of the tth wheel of the water-air vehicle; wherein the attitude angle of the t-1th wheel includes: the pitch angle of the t-1th wheel, the roll angle of the t-1th wheel and the yaw angle of the t-1th wheel, and the target attitude angle of the tth wheel includes: the target pitch angle of the tth wheel, the target roll angle of the tth wheel and the target yaw angle of the tth wheel; the first motor angle of the tth wheel is calculated based on the PID algorithm according to the attitude angle of the t-1th wheel and the target attitude angle of the tth wheel.

[0077] Specifically, the PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) algorithm is a control strategy in industrial control systems. The water-air vehicle obtains the attitude angle of the t-1th wheel and the target attitude angle of the tth wheel through the gyroscope, processes the attitude angle of the t-1th wheel and the target attitude angle of the tth wheel through the PID algorithm, obtains the first motor angle of the tth wheel, and then calculates the first control angle of the t+1th wheel (next wheel) and the second control angle of the t+1th wheel based on the first motor angle of the tth wheel.

[0078] In this way, the PID algorithm can reduce the error of the first motor angle of the t-th wheel, thereby reducing the error of the first control angle of the t+1 wheel (next wheel) and the second control angle of the t+1 wheel. This facilitates the water-air vehicle to accurately control the first connecting rod 203 and the second connecting rod 204, thereby accurately adjusting the first motor angle of the t+1 wheel.

[0079] In one embodiment, if the drag of the power controller in the air is greater than a threshold, the rotor 206 and the propeller 207 are controlled to rotate together. If the drag of the power controller in the water is greater than a threshold, the rotor 206 and the propeller 207 are controlled to rotate together.

[0080] Specifically, since the propeller 207 and the rotor 206 are coaxially connected to the motor 201, when in the air flight state, if the air resistance is greater than the threshold, the water-aircraft controls the rotor 206 and the propeller 207 to rotate together to increase power; when in the water surface navigation state, if the water resistance is greater than the threshold, the water-aircraft controls the rotor 206 and the propeller 207 to rotate together to increase power.

[0081] In this mode, the water-air vehicle controls the rotor 206 and the propeller 207 to rotate together to overcome the air resistance of the air flight to ensure the stability of the flight; and overcomes the water resistance of the power controller to ensure the stability of the surface navigation.

[0082] In one embodiment, the step of calculating the first control angle of the t-th wheel and the second control angle of the t-th wheel according to the first motor angle of the t-th wheel by the water-air vehicle comprises:

[0083]

[0084] in, is the first control angle of the t-th wheel, is the second control angle of the t-th wheel, l1 is the length of the first connecting rod 203, l2 is the length of the second connecting rod 204, l3 is the length of the third connecting rod 205, is the first motor angle of the tth wheel.

[0085] In this method, the water-air vehicle calculates the first control angle of the t-th wheel and the second control angle of the t-th wheel according to the above formula. This method has the same technical effect as the above step S102, and will not be repeated here.
