Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aircraft design, and in particular relates to a universal unmanned aircraft ground station system. Background Art

[0002] With the serialized development of large-scale UAVs, different types of UAVs will have certain differences in product configuration and data communication. Developing or purchasing a ground station system for different types of UAVs will take up a lot of costs and cause waste of resources. Especially when multiple types of UAVs are operated on a large scale, the entire route usually needs to be configured with multiple types of ground stations, which not only takes up capital costs, but also occupies radio spectrum, and may even cause serious interference to the normal operation of other UAVs. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the problems of the background technology, the present invention proposes a universal UAV ground station system, which can support the use of multiple models of UAVs by configuring the configuration status and communication protocol of the UAVs.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is achieved in this way:

[0005] A universal UAV ground station system comprises: a mutually interconnected configuration data module, a data analysis and display module, a command control module, a communication protocol database, and a data communication module. The configuration data module stores configuration information of multiple drones, retrieves configuration information of the corresponding drone by inputting the drone model (the drone model can be selected manually, or the drone model sent by the data communication module can be received), and sends the corresponding configuration information to the data analysis and display module and the command control module; after receiving the configuration information, the data analysis and display module calls the communication protocol of the corresponding drone in the communication protocol database, and parses and displays the data received by the data communication module according to the communication protocol; after receiving the configuration information, the command control module calls the communication protocol of the corresponding drone in the communication protocol database, and when sending instructions through the module, compiles the corresponding instructions into control instructions of the corresponding drone according to the communication protocol and sends them to the data communication module, and issues the control instructions of the drone through the data communication module; the communication protocol database stores communication protocols of multiple drones, and the corresponding communication protocol can be called according to the model signal of the drone; the data communication module receives the data information sent by the drone, and sends it to the data analysis and display module for data analysis, and can also send the control instructions of the drone sent by the command control module to the drone.

[0006] As a further solution of the present invention: when the data analysis and display module receives the configuration information sent by the configuration data module, it can call the corresponding display screen according to the corresponding configuration information, such as the corresponding aircraft system parameters and graphic features, and perform corresponding display according to the analyzed data.

[0007] As a further solution of the present invention: the UAV information displayed in the data analysis and display module includes general parameters and personalized parameters. The general parameters refer to parameters that all UAVs have, such as airspeed, altitude, etc.; the personalized parameters refer to data unique to different UAVs, such as the display of engine parameters of twin-engine UAVs and tri-engine UAVs, which belong to personalized parameters.

[0008] As a further solution of the present invention: the drone information can be displayed in text form as well as in a graphical form.

[0009] As a further solution of the present invention: when the command control module receives the configuration information sent by the configuration data module, it can call the corresponding command system according to the corresponding configuration information; it can also use the same command system for the target series model aircraft, and in this case, the configuration information does not need to be used to call the corresponding command system.

[0010] As a further solution of the present invention: the command control module receives the configuration information sent by the configuration data module, and the human-machine interface for command input provided by the command control module is automatically loaded into a control command system suitable for the UAV.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: the configuration data module and the communication protocol database can add, modify or delete different drone model configuration information and corresponding communication protocols.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0013] 1. The ground station can realize the control of various types of drones, saving the cost of using ground stations when operators use multiple types of drones.

[0014] 2. By configuring configuration information and corresponding communication protocols, control over new drone models can be increased and the software development work of the ground station can be reduced.

[0015] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0017] The technical solution of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments.

[0018] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram for illustrating an embodiment of the universal UAV ground station system of the present invention.

[0019] Referring to the accompanying drawings, this embodiment is a universal UAV ground station system, which is composed of an interconnected configuration data module, a data analysis and display module, a command control module, a communication protocol database, and a data communication module.

[0020] The configuration data module can select the model of the drone on the human-machine interface, or automatically identify the model of the drone through the drone model information received by the data communication module. According to the input or received drone model information, the configuration information of the drone model is called and sent to the data analysis and display module and the command control module.

[0021] The drone information displayed in the data analysis and display module includes general parameters and personalized parameters. After receiving the configuration information, on the one hand, the communication protocol of the corresponding drone in the communication protocol database is called, and the communication protocol is loaded into the analysis program to parse and display the data received by the data communication module; on the other hand, the corresponding drone personalized parameter display screen is loaded according to the configuration information, including the important aircraft and system parameters and graphic features of the drone. The general parameters of drones refer to the parameters that all drones have, such as airspeed and altitude; personalized parameters refer to the data unique to different drones, such as the display of engine parameters of twin-engine drones and three-engine drones, which belong to personalized parameters. The parameters of drones can be displayed in text or graphical form.

[0022] The command control module receives the configuration information sent by the configuration data module, calls the communication protocol of the corresponding UAV in the communication protocol database and loads it into the compiler. The command control module provides different command systems according to different UAV models in the command input human-machine interface. When the command control module receives the configuration information sent by the configuration data module, the command input human-machine interface provided by the command control module is automatically loaded into a control command system suitable for the UAV. When the UAV is developed using serialized models, different models of UAVs can also use the same command system, that is, the commands used are exactly the same. In this case, the configuration information does not need to be used to load the corresponding command system. When the UAV operator sends a command through the command control module's human-machine interface, the command control module compiles the command received from the human-machine interface into a command suitable for the corresponding UAV through the command compiler, and sends it to the UAV through the data communication module to achieve control of the UAV.

[0023] The communication protocol database stores communication protocols for multiple drones, and the corresponding communication protocol can be called according to the model signal of the drone.

[0024] The configuration data module and communication protocol database can add, modify or delete different UAV model configuration information and corresponding communication protocols.

[0025] The data communication module receives the data information sent by the drone and sends it to the data analysis and display module for data analysis. It can also send the control instructions of the drone sent by the command control module to the drone.

[0026] So far, the purpose of the present invention has been achieved.

[0027] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
