[0081] Optionally, the air-ground state sensor, the altitude sensor, the acceleration sensor, the gyroscope sensor, and the visual sensor can be installed at different positions of the aircraft, and the data of the aircraft can be collected in real time or at intervals, and can be set according to actual conditions. The aircraft can be a multi-rotor manned aircraft.

[0082] Among them, the air-ground status sensor and the altitude sensor can be installed at the bottom of the aircraft respectively. Figure 3 As shown, there may be multiple visual sensors, each of which may be installed at a rotor position of the aircraft, such as Figure 4 The whole parachute is installed on the upper side of the aircraft. The fall detection unit can be set in the parachute opening control device, and the parachute opening control device can be installed on the side end of the aircraft, such as Figure 5 As shown. The speed sensor and the gyro sensor can be installed inside the aircraft.

[0083] Optionally, at the current moment, the fall detection unit can receive the current state data of the aircraft collected by the air-to-ground state sensor, the current height of the aircraft collected by the altitude sensor, the current acceleration of the aircraft collected by the acceleration sensor, the current attitude data of the aircraft collected by the gyroscope sensor, and the current image of the aircraft collected by the visual sensor. Among them, the current state data of the aircraft collected by the air-to-ground state sensor can indicate whether the aircraft is in the air or on the ground at the current moment; the current height collected by the altitude sensor can indicate the height of the aircraft from the ground at the current moment; the current acceleration collected by the acceleration sensor can indicate the operating acceleration of the aircraft at the current moment; the current attitude data collected by the gyroscope sensor can indicate the attitude of the aircraft at the current moment, such as the pitch angle and roll angle of the aircraft at the current moment; the current image collected by the visual sensor can indicate the image information of the rotor of the aircraft at the current moment.

[0084] S102: Determine whether the aircraft is in an out-of-control falling state based on current state data, current altitude, current acceleration, current attitude data, and current image.

[0085] Specifically, the fall detection unit can use a preset method to determine whether the aircraft is in an out-of-control falling state at the current moment based on the received current state data, current altitude, current acceleration, current attitude data and current image of the aircraft at the current moment.

[0086] Optionally, if yes, that is, the aircraft is in an out-of-control falling state at the current moment, that is, the aircraft is in a dangerous state at this time, then execute the following S103; if no, that is, the aircraft is not in an out-of-control falling state at the current moment, that is, the aircraft is flying normally at the current moment, then return to execute S101, that is, continue to obtain the status data, altitude, acceleration, attitude data and images of the aircraft at other times.

[0087] S103, sending an ignition instruction to the ignition trigger device, so that the ignition trigger device responds to the ignition instruction and opens the parachute body through the gas generator.

[0088] Specifically, when the fall detection unit determines that the aircraft is in an out-of-control falling state at the current moment, the fall detection unit can send an ignition command to the ignition trigger device in the parachute of the entire aircraft. When the ignition trigger device receives the ignition command, it immediately performs the ignition operation. When the ignition operation is started, gas will be generated, and the parachute body can be opened through the gas generator.

[0089] In this embodiment, by determining whether the aircraft is in an uncontrolled falling state based on the current state data of the aircraft collected by the air-ground state sensor, the current height of the aircraft collected by the altitude sensor, the current acceleration of the aircraft collected by the acceleration sensor, the current attitude data of the aircraft collected by the gyroscope sensor, and the current image of the aircraft collected by the visual sensor, the aircraft status can be intelligently and quickly identified through the data collected by multiple sensors. If it is determined that the aircraft is in an uncontrolled falling state, an ignition command is immediately sent to the ignition trigger device, so that the ignition trigger device responds to the ignition command and opens the parachute body through the gas generator. Automatic and rapid triggering of the opening control of the whole parachute is achieved, effectively improving the survival rate of a multi-rotor manned aircraft crash.

[0090] Figure 6 A flow chart of another parachute opening control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the above S102 determines whether the aircraft is in an out-of-control falling state according to the current state data, the current altitude, the current acceleration, the current attitude data and the current image, which may include:

[0091] S201. Determine whether the aircraft meets the conditions for using a whole-aircraft parachute based on current state data and current altitude.

[0092] Optionally, if yes, that is, when the aircraft meets the conditions for using the whole-machine parachute at the current moment, execute the following S202; otherwise, execute the following S203.

[0093] S202: Determine whether the aircraft is in an out-of-control falling state according to the current acceleration, current attitude data and current image.

[0096] Optionally, when the aircraft does not meet the conditions for using the whole-aircraft parachute at the current moment, the whole-aircraft parachute cannot be opened at this time, that is, the whole-aircraft parachute is disabled.

[0097] Optionally, the process of determining whether the aircraft is in an out-of-control falling state may also include: first determining whether the aircraft is in an out-of-control falling state based on the current acceleration, current attitude data and current image; if so, determining whether the conditions for using a whole-aircraft parachute are met based on the current state data and the current altitude; if the current aircraft is in an out-of-control falling state and the conditions for using a whole-aircraft parachute are met, the fall detection unit may send an ignition command to the ignition device of the whole-aircraft parachute.

[0098] Optionally, the above step S201 of determining whether the aircraft meets the conditions for using a whole-aircraft parachute according to the current state data and the current altitude may include:

[0099] Optionally, it is possible to determine whether the aircraft is in the air based on the current state data, and if so, determine whether the aircraft meets the conditions for using the whole aircraft parachute based on the current altitude. If it is determined based on the current state that the aircraft is still on the ground, it is not necessary to determine whether the conditions for using the whole aircraft parachute are met based on the current altitude, that is, when the aircraft is on the ground at the current moment, it is not necessary to use the whole aircraft parachute.

[0100] Optionally, the above-mentioned determining whether the aircraft is in the air state according to the current state data may include:

[0101] The current status data is collected by the air-ground status sensor, which can include: millimeter wave radar sensor, ultrasonic radar sensor and air pressure sensor. The millimeter wave radar works in the millimeter wave frequency band, usually between 30GHz and 300GHz, with a wavelength between 1mm and 10mm. It determines the position of the object by transmitting and receiving millimeter wave signals and using the reflection of the signal by the target object. The detection distance is relatively long, usually up to several hundred meters; the ultrasonic radar works in the ultrasonic frequency band, the frequency is usually between 20kHz and 200kHz (some say 20kHz to 100kHz), and measures the distance by transmitting ultrasonic pulses and receiving the echo reflected by the object. The detection distance is relatively short, generally within a few meters. The air pressure sensor can collect the changes in the atmospheric pressure of the environment around the aircraft. Then the millimeter wave radar can collect the current first distance between the aircraft and the ground, the ultrasonic radar can collect the current second distance between the aircraft and the ground, and the air pressure sensor can collect the current air pressure around the aircraft.

[0102] Optionally, if the current first distance is greater than the first distance threshold, the current second distance is greater than the second distance threshold, and the current air pressure is greater than the air pressure threshold, it is determined that the aircraft is in the air at the current moment, wherein the first distance threshold is greater than the second distance threshold.

[0103] Optionally, the above-mentioned determining whether the aircraft meets the condition of using the whole-aircraft parachute according to the current altitude may include:

[0104] If the current altitude of the aircraft collected by the altitude sensor is greater than the altitude threshold, it is determined that the aircraft meets the condition of using the whole aircraft parachute at the current moment. The altitude threshold is greater than the first distance threshold and the second distance threshold.

[0105] Figure 7 A flow chart of another parachute opening control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the above S202, according to the current acceleration, the current attitude data and the current image, determines whether the aircraft is in an out-of-control falling state, which may include:

[0107] Specifically, a preset method may be used to determine whether the descent speed of the aircraft at the current moment exceeds a speed threshold according to the current acceleration.

[0108] S302: Determine whether the current attitude of the aircraft is greater than an attitude threshold according to the current attitude data.

[0109] The current attitude data may include the current elevation angle and the current roll angle of the aircraft, and the attitude threshold may include an elevation angle threshold and a roll angle threshold. Specifically, it may be determined whether the current elevation angle is greater than the elevation angle threshold and whether the roll angle is greater than the roll angle threshold.

[0110] Optionally, if the current pitch angle is greater than the pitch angle threshold and the roll angle is greater than the roll angle threshold, it is determined that the current attitude of the aircraft at the current moment is greater than the attitude threshold; otherwise, it is determined that the current attitude of the aircraft at the current moment is less than or equal to the attitude threshold, specifically, if the current pitch angle is not greater than the pitch angle threshold and / or the roll angle is not greater than the roll angle threshold, it is determined that the current attitude of the aircraft at the current moment is less than or equal to the attitude threshold.

[0111] S303: Determine whether the aircraft has a rotor failure according to the current image.

[0112] Specifically, the current image may be identified, analyzed and processed to obtain image information in the current image, and whether a rotor failure occurs in the aircraft at the current moment may be determined based on the image information.

[0113] S304: If the descent speed of the aircraft exceeds the speed threshold, or the current attitude of the aircraft is greater than the attitude threshold, or the aircraft has a rotor failure, it is determined that the aircraft is in an out-of-control falling state.

[0114] Specifically, if it is determined that the descent speed of the aircraft at the current moment exceeds the speed threshold, it can be determined that the aircraft is in an out-of-control falling state; if the current attitude of the aircraft at the current moment is greater than the attitude threshold, it can also be determined that the aircraft is in an out-of-control falling state; if the aircraft has a rotor failure at the current moment, it can also be determined that the aircraft is in an out-of-control falling state.

[0115] Optionally, determining whether the descent speed of the aircraft exceeds a speed threshold according to the current acceleration in S301 may include:

[0116] Optionally, the current speed of the aircraft and whether the aircraft is in a descending state can be determined according to the current acceleration. Specifically, if the current acceleration is a negative value, it can be determined that the aircraft is in a descending state at the current moment, and the current speed of the aircraft is calculated according to the current acceleration to determine whether the current speed is greater than the speed threshold.

[0117] Optionally, if the aircraft is in a descending state and the current speed of the aircraft exceeds the speed threshold, it can be determined that the descending speed of the aircraft at the current moment exceeds the speed threshold. Otherwise, the descending speed of the aircraft does not exceed the speed threshold.

[0118] Optionally, the above S303, determining whether a rotor failure occurs in the aircraft according to the current image, may include:

[0119] The current image may include images of each rotor on the aircraft at the current moment. For example, if the aircraft includes four rotors, the current image may include current image 1 of rotor 1, current image 2 of rotor 2, current image 3 of rotor 3, and current image 4 of rotor 4.

[0120] Optionally, image recognition analysis is performed on the image of each rotor to obtain image analysis results of each rotor on the aircraft, wherein the analysis results of each rotor can be used to indicate whether each rotor has a fault.

[0121] Optionally, if there is a faulty rotor, it is determined that a rotor failure occurs in the aircraft.

[0122] Exemplarily, current image 1, current image 2, current image 3, and current image 4 may be respectively identified and analyzed to obtain image analysis result 1 of rotor 1, image analysis result 2 of rotor 2, image analysis result 3 of rotor 3, and image analysis result 4 of rotor 4. If there is a faulty rotor, that is, image analysis result 1 indicates that rotor 1 has a fault, or image analysis result 2 indicates that rotor 2 has a fault, or image analysis result 3 indicates that rotor 3 has a fault, or image analysis result 4 indicates that rotor 4 has a fault, then it can be determined that the aircraft has a rotor fault.
