Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of remote rescue control systems, and in particular to a multi-power control method for a flying life buoy for water and air use. Background Art

[0002] The flying lifebuoy is a fast life-saving device with two power systems. It can fly quickly in the air like a drone, or sail on the water like an unmanned lifeboat. When in use, the flying system is generally used to quickly move to the side of the person who fell into the water or the trapped person, and after the trapped person puts the flying lifebuoy on his body, the trapped person is brought to the rescuer's location through the surface navigation function, so as to rescue the trapped person. Most of the controller channels on the market can only control the movement of one power system motor. If the motors of two power systems need to be controlled, different joysticks are generally required to control them separately. This method limits the choice of remote controllers. For devices with two power systems to adapt to the operating requirements of different environments, only remote controllers with more channels can be selected to use multiple remote controllers separately. For rescuers, the same control function needs to remember different channel controls, or they need to carry multiple remote controllers at the same time, which increases the difficulty of use and training costs.

[0003] Therefore, the prior art has defects and needs to be improved. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a multi-power control method for a flying life buoy for both water and air use.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a method for controlling a flying life buoy for both water and air use with multiple power is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: Move the joystick of the remote controller to send the corresponding joystick control signal to the flying lifebuoy system through the remote controller;

[0007] Step 2: When the joystick control signal is sent, the control system built into the remote controller determines the control mode of the function control key on the remote controller;

[0008] Step 3: When the control system of the remote controller determines that the control mode of the current function control key is the first control mode, a corresponding control signal is sent through the serial port channel corresponding to the first control mode;

[0009] Step 4: The flight power system responds to the control signal sent by the remote controller, performs mode switching, switches the executed power system to the mode corresponding to the first control mode, and performs the functional action corresponding to the control signal sent by the remote controller;

[0010] Step 5: When the control system of the remote controller determines that the control mode of the current function control key has been switched to the second control mode, the control signal is sent by switching to the serial port channel corresponding to the second control mode;

[0011] Step 6: The water power system responds to the control signal sent by the remote controller, performs mode switching, switches the executed power system to the mode corresponding to the second control mode, and executes the functional action corresponding to the control signal sent by the remote controller.

[0012] Furthermore, the first control mode and the second control mode are respectively one of a flight power system control mode and a water power system control mode.

[0013] Furthermore, serial port channels 1 to 4 of the remote controller correspond to the transmission of throttle and direction control signals of the first control mode and the second control mode, respectively.

[0014] Furthermore, the serial port channel 5 of the remote controller corresponds to the transmission of a control signal for mode control switching between the first control mode and the second control mode.

[0015] Furthermore, the serial port channel 6 of the remote controller sends a control signal for controlling the function switching of the power system to the flying lifebuoy.

[0016] By adopting the above scheme, in the control method provided by the present invention, different modes can be switched through the function control keys of the remote control, so that the flying lifebuoy in different control modes can be driven accordingly through a set of joysticks. Therefore, in rescue work, there is no need to carry multiple remote controllers to control the flying lifebuoy, which reduces the control proficiency requirements and training costs of the rescue work, and facilitates faster rescue work for trapped persons. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0017] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides a multi-power control method for a flying life buoy for water and air, comprising the following steps:

[0020] Step 1: Move the joystick of the remote controller to send the corresponding joystick control signal to the flying lifebuoy system through the remote controller;

[0021] Step 2: When the joystick control signal is sent, the control system built into the remote controller determines the control mode of the function control key on the remote controller;

[0022] Step 3: When the control system of the remote controller determines that the control mode of the current function control key is the first control mode, a corresponding control signal is sent through the serial port channel corresponding to the first control mode;

[0023] Step 4: The flight power system responds to the control signal sent by the remote controller, performs mode switching, switches the executed power system to the mode corresponding to the first control mode, and performs the functional action corresponding to the control signal sent by the remote controller;

[0024] Step 5: When the control system of the remote controller determines that the control mode of the current function control key has been switched to the second control mode, the control signal is sent by switching to the serial port channel corresponding to the second control mode;

[0025] Step 6: The water power system responds to the control signal sent by the remote controller, performs mode switching, switches the executed power system to the mode corresponding to the second control mode, and executes the functional action corresponding to the control signal sent by the remote controller.

[0026] The first control mode and the second control mode are respectively one of the flight power system control mode and the water power system control mode. According to the rescue conditions and the rescue environment, the corresponding mode switching can be performed. When the flying life buoy needs to go to the location of the trapped person, the flight power system control mode can be enabled to control the flying life buoy to fly quickly to the designated location by the flight power system, and when it reaches the trapped person, it can be switched to the water power system control mode, and the flying life buoy can be driven by the water power system to move in the water, so as to quickly bring the trapped person to the area where the rescuers are.

[0027] The flight power system control mode is used as the default first control mode of the system, so that when performing rescue work, the flying life buoy can be driven by the flight power system to fly while starting the flying life buoy, so as to quickly move to the location of the trapped person. In the rescue work, in order to protect the lives of the trapped people, every second counts. Approaching the trapped people by flying in the air can avoid the greater restrictions on the movement of the flying life buoy caused by wind and waves compared to sailing on the water, effectively improving the movement efficiency and rescue efficiency.

[0028] The serial port channels 1 to 4 of the remote controller correspond to the transmission of the throttle and direction control signals of the first control mode and the second control mode, respectively. The serial port channel 5 of the remote controller corresponds to the transmission of the control signal of the mode control switching between the first control mode and the second control mode. The serial port channel 6 of the remote controller corresponds to sending the control signal of the power system function switching to the flying life buoy. When the remote controller is used, the first control mode, i.e., the flight power system control mode, is used by default. In the first control mode, when the joystick of the remote controller is moved, the corresponding throttle and direction control signals are sent to the flying life buoy through the serial port channel 1 and the serial port channel 2 of the remote controller, respectively, so as to control the flight movement path of the flying life buoy. The flying life buoy is supported to perform driving functions such as take-off, steering, landing and return. When the function control key on the remote controller is pressed, the control mode can be switched, and the control signal of the power system function switching is controlled respectively through the serial port channel 6 of the remote controller, and the current control mode of the remote controller is switched to the second control mode, i.e., the water power system control mode, and the corresponding mode switching control signal is sent to the flying life buoy at the same time. In the second control mode, when the joystick of the remote controller is moved, the corresponding throttle and direction control signals will be sent to the flying lifebuoy through the serial port channel 3 and serial port channel 4 of the remote controller, thereby controlling the flying lifebuoy's water movement path. The flying lifebuoy is supported to move forward, return, reverse and turn on the water.

[0029] The serial port channel 5 of the remote controller can switch between fixed point (fixed altitude), simple mode (headless mode) and manual mode in the flight power system to meet the control requirements of different flight modes. In the water power system, the serial port channel 5 can be used to switch between remote control mode, return mode and local control mode to meet the control requirements of different application scenarios.

[0030] In the specific working process, when it is necessary to rescue the trapped person, the rescuer starts the flying lifebuoy. At this time, the flying lifebuoy is in the flying power system control mode, and the flight path of the flying lifebuoy can be directly controlled by the remote controller to perform actions such as take-off, movement, and landing, so as to quickly move to the location of the trapped person and land beside the trapped person. When the trapped person puts the flying lifebuoy on his body, the rescuer switches the control mode through the function control key of the remote controller, thereby switching to the water power system control mode, thereby controlling the navigation path of the flying lifebuoy on the water surface through the remote controller, performing actions such as forward, reverse, steering, and return, so as to bring the trapped person to the rescuer's location and realize the rescue of the trapped person. In the control method provided by the present invention, different modes can be switched through the function control key of the remote controller, so that the flying lifebuoy in different control modes is driven accordingly through a set of rockers. Therefore, in the rescue work, it is possible to control the flying lifebuoy without carrying multiple remote controllers, reduce the control proficiency requirements and training costs of the rescue work, and facilitate faster rescue work for the trapped person.

[0031] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
