Description
Technical field:
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ultra-micro aircraft, and in particular to an ultra-micro bionic self-powered aircraft for environmental parameter perception. Background technology:
[0002] Long-term real-time monitoring of multiple environmental parameters is the foundation of ecological environmental protection and an important support for the construction of ecological civilization. As the core component for realizing ecological environmental monitoring, hundreds of millions of sensors are integrated into various devices to sense multiple environmental parameters and convert them into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to terminals (such as computers) for real-time analysis, judgment and response. The large-scale automated deployment of sensors for specific outdoor ecological environments is currently a major problem, with a series of problems such as high cost, difficulty in mass production, poor concealment, inability to capture energy from the environment and difficulty in long-term monitoring. Therefore, the present invention proposes an ultra-micro bionic self-powered aircraft for environmental parameter perception, which has a double-layer structure. In the first structural layer, a typical drifting structure such as dandelions in nature is biomimetic, and a patterned polyimide (PI) film with high Reynolds number, low terminal velocity and large drifting range is designed and prepared, which is called a new bionic pneumatic structure. Taking an ultra-micro self-powered module using solar cells as an example, the solar cells are arranged on the surface of the first structural layer; a flexible PI film circuit is prepared in the second structural layer, including an ultra-micro sensing communication functional circuit integrating a low-power long-distance transmission Bluetooth microcontroller, a high-precision humidity / temperature / air pressure and other sensors, and the remaining ultra-micro self-powered modules integrating supercapacitors, voltage-dividing resistors, peripheral capacitors, and low-voltage difference linear regulators; the heterogeneous and heterogeneous integration of the ultra-micro bionic self-powered aircraft for environmental parameter perception is realized by using micro-nano processing technology. The present invention also combines the memory alloy control wire (arranged in the second structural layer) to achieve precise control of the flight attitude and landing range, so as to support the large-scale and precise deployment of the sensor network. The aircraft can be brought to a specific environment by a micro-UAV for large-scale spraying. After landing and deployment, a sensor network is established, and data transmission and coordination are carried out between each other to form a large-scale, efficient and reliable ecological environment monitoring network. It can not only be deployed in harsh environments for long-term stable work, but also can adjust the control network structure and sensor types according to monitoring needs, which significantly improves the accuracy and response speed of ecological environment monitoring.
[0003] The present invention proposes an ultra-micro bionic self-powered aircraft for environmental parameter perception. It imitates the phenomenon of wind blowing away dandelion seeds in nature and designs a new bionic pneumatic structure to increase the dispersion distance. It can be carried by a micro-UAV to a specific environment for large-scale spreading. The memory alloy control wire enables the ultra-micro bionic self-powered aircraft to have a certain three-dimensional deformation ability, so as to achieve precise deployment, and form a sensor network after landing deployment; taking the ultra-micro self-powered module using solar cells as an example, the designed ultra-micro self-powered module can absorb solar energy and convert it into electrical energy to supply ultra-micro sensing communication functional circuits to achieve long-term environmental monitoring and data feedback. The programmable Bluetooth microcontroller has a universal asynchronous receiver and transmitter (URAT), a serial peripheral interface (SPI) and an integrated circuit bus (I 2 C) and other serial ports, which can be expanded to add multiple types of sensors (such as temperature, sound, vibration, magnetic field, radiation, pollutants, etc.) to achieve a wider range of environmental monitoring applications. Summary of the invention:
[0004] In view of the problems of environmental parameter perception sensors being difficult to deploy on a large scale, being costly, and being difficult to work for a long time, the present invention discloses an ultra-micro bionic self-powered aircraft for environmental parameter perception, which has the characteristics of large-scale networking, long-term self-sustaining operation, perception of multiple environmental parameters, programmable expansion, and low cost. The ultra-micro bionic self-powered aircraft is designed with a lightweight bionic pneumatic structure to increase the drifting distance, a memory alloy control wire to achieve precise deployment, a lightweight and flexible ultra-micro perception communication functional circuit and an ultra-micro self-powered module to achieve long-term environmental parameter monitoring and data feedback, and a heterogeneous heterogeneous integration technology is proposed to realize the ultra-micro aircraft, ensuring the stability and controllability of the perception communication functional circuit. The novel bionic pneumatic structure, ultra-micro perception communication functional circuit, ultra-micro self-powered module, and heterogeneous heterogeneous integration technology contained in the invention are advanced internationally.
[0005] The present invention provides an ultra-micro bionic self-powered aircraft for environmental parameter perception, which is manufactured by heterogeneous heterogeneous integration of a first structural layer and a second structural layer. The first structural layer of the aircraft is designed with a novel bionic pneumatic structure and solar cells, and the second structural layer integrates an ultra-micro sensing communication function circuit, a partial self-powered module and a memory alloy control wire.
[0006] The novel bionic pneumatic structure is a bionic patterned structure of a layer of lightweight flexible PI, which is prepared in the first structural layer. The pneumatic structure is inspired by the typical drifting structure in nature, and a dandelion-like structure with high Reynolds number, low terminal velocity and long drifting distance is designed in combination with aerodynamics. A planarized fluff hollow structure is drawn through a drawing program, so that the novel bionic pneumatic structure can form turbulence at the edge of the structure during the drifting process, effectively expanding the drifting distance and improving the deployment capability of the ultra-micro bionic self-powered aircraft. The above-mentioned patterned structure is processed into a physical object on a flexible PI sheet by a laser cutting machine. The processed graphics are of high precision and the cutting edges are smooth, which ensures the reliability and stability of the aerodynamic structure when it drifts with the wind.
[0007] The ultra-micro sensing communication function circuit is composed of a Bluetooth microcontroller circuit and a multi-parameter sensing circuit. It is designed and processed on the second structural layer. It is a layer of flexible PI circular thin film with insulating layers on both sides to prevent external current interference. The Bluetooth microcontroller circuit mainly includes a low-power Bluetooth chip, peripheral capacitors and inductors, and an external crystal oscillator. It can be controlled by GPIO serial port, I 2 The C serial port and SPI serial port are connected to various sensors (air pressure / temperature / humidity) to realize device logic control and data information feedback. The multi-parameter sensing circuit mainly includes temperature / air pressure / humidity sensors and surrounding capacitors and resistors, which can form a communication connection with the Bluetooth microcontroller, so that the Bluetooth microcontroller can receive the data obtained by the multi-parameter sensing circuit and transmit the data over a long distance.
[0008] Furthermore, the peripheral circuit of the Bluetooth microcontroller circuit is composed of an external crystal oscillator, a filter capacitor, a patch ceramic antenna impedance matching capacitor, an inductor, etc. The Bluetooth microcontroller uses a variety of interfaces, including GPIO serial port, SPI communication serial port and I 2 C communication serial port, combined with software code to realize the control of air pressure / temperature / humidity sensors, thereby forming a complete wireless environment perception system. The Bluetooth microcontroller has programmable characteristics. By programming and controlling the Bluetooth microcontroller, data packets can be transmitted at different rates. The Bluetooth microcontroller circuit is designed to match the ultra-micro circuit of the small and light ceramic patch antenna, and by leading out the wire at the antenna end, the distance of Bluetooth communication is greatly increased, so that the aircraft has the function of long-distance reliable communication (data interaction and transmission).
[0009] Furthermore, the multi-parameter sensing circuit preferably selects a digital sensor with pressure and temperature measurement functions, and adopts an extremely compact 10-pin metal cover LGA package to reduce the overall weight of the present invention. The sensor can support multiple communication methods and has high precision. In addition, an industrial-grade digital sensor specifically used for measuring relative humidity is preferred. This sensor meets the stringent requirements of environmental monitoring applications for electrostatic discharge and robustness, and can also be interfaced through multiple pre-configured communication methods to facilitate system integration. The two sensing modules are connected to the Bluetooth microcontroller via a communication interface and are powered by an ultra-micro self-powered module, so as to realize the multi-parameter sensing of the aircraft environment, such as temperature, air pressure, humidity and other data, and send them to the Bluetooth microcontroller.
[0010] Furthermore, taking the ultra-micro self-powered module using solar cells as an example, the ultra-micro self-powered module is composed of micro solar cells, voltage-dividing resistors, peripheral capacitors, low-dropout linear regulators (LDOs) and supercapacitors, which can convert ambient light energy into electrical energy, and drive the memory alloy control wire as needed to adjust the aircraft's falling posture and supply the ultra-micro sensing communication function circuit. The micro solar cell ensures the power required for the sensing communication function (Bluetooth microcontroller and sensor), and the module connects the output end of the micro solar cell to a diode to prevent the reverse flow of current from destroying the circuit. In order to maintain the good working condition of the sensing communication function circuit in weak light, the supercapacitor and other components in the module can store a large amount of energy in a short time, can better collect unstable ambient light energy (intermittent, fluctuating), and provide more electrical energy to the load, realize the battery-free collection of ambient light energy, and achieve the design goals of miniaturization and lightweight. The LDO and voltage-dividing resistor used in the ultra-micro self-powered module are set to enable the LDO to work only after the voltage of the supercapacitor reaches the threshold voltage, so that the voltages of the solar input circuit system and the solar output circuit system both meet the requirements of the device, ensuring the stable operation of the ultra-micro sensing communication function circuit. Furthermore, the ultra-micro self-powered module can also be designed to utilize a variety of different environmental energies (solar energy / vibration energy / heat energy / radio frequency energy, etc.) to convert into electrical energy to meet the special power supply requirements of ultra-micro aircraft or robots.
[0011] Furthermore, the bending angle of the memory alloy control wire can be adjusted in real time by changing the current intensity, so that the aerodynamic structure has a certain three-dimensional deformation ability. The three-dimensional deformation ability can control the terminal speed of the ultra-micro bionic self-powered aircraft, thereby affecting the scattering distance, and realizing the controllable deployment of a large number of ultra-micro aircraft in the same batch in a larger area. After landing and deployment, a sensor network can be established to transmit and coordinate data with each other, forming a large-scale, efficient and reliable ecological environment monitoring network.
[0012] Furthermore, the heterogeneous heterogeneous integration technology ensures the stability of the aircraft in the passive flight structure, ensures the stability and controllability of the sensing and communication functional circuit when it is working, and can disperse and deploy sensors over a large range to form a sensing network to achieve long-term environmental monitoring. It mainly includes: the aircraft body is designed as a double-layer structure, the new bionic pneumatic structure is designed on the first layer, the ultra-micro sensing and communication functional circuit is designed on the second layer, the solar cells in the ultra-micro self-powered module are distributed on the first layer, and the supercapacitors and other devices are distributed on the second layer. The first layer and the second layer structure are conformally attached by adhesive glue and pasted with memory alloy control wire; the positive and negative electrodes of the micro solar cells on the upper surface of the first layer can be connected to the power supply end of the ultra-micro sensing and communication functional circuit through the bionic pneumatic structure, through the partial self-powered module of the second layer, and the filling of silver glue realizes the firm attachment between the solar cells, the first layer structure and the second layer structure.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects brought by the design scheme provided by the embodiment of the present invention include at least: breaking through the deployment limitations of the traditional sensor network, imitating the phenomenon of wind blowing away seeds and leaves in nature, designing a new lightweight bionic pneumatic structure that can be scattered by the wind like dandelions, combining the memory alloy control wire to control the flight posture of the pneumatic structure to achieve long-distance and precise deployment of ultra-micro bionic self-powered aircraft; designing ultra-micro sensing communication functional circuits and ultra-micro self-powered modules based on flexible PI film to improve the integration of aircraft, so that it has long-term environmental monitoring capabilities; using micro-nano processing technology to heterogeneously integrate an ultra-micro bionic self-powered aircraft for environmental parameter perception, with an overall weight of about 213 mg, which can be carried by a micro-man-machine to a specific environment for large-scale throwing, and performing long-term environmental monitoring after control and networking. In addition, the new bionic pneumatic structure, ultra-micro sensing communication functional circuit, ultra-micro self-powered module and heterogeneous heterogeneous integration technology can be widely used in the field of flexible aircraft or robots, thereby realizing a series of miniaturized battery-free designs.
