[0055] Currently, with the development of drone technology and the expansion of its application areas, the ability of drones to operate at night or in low-light conditions has become an important technical requirement.

[0056] In the related technology, drones are usually equipped with high-brightness searchlights to complete nighttime operation tasks. However, in actual applications, it is found that high-power searchlights generate a lot of heat when working, and drones cannot use traditional heat dissipation solutions such as large radiators or fans to ensure the flight performance of drones, so drones will accumulate a lot of heat, which is easy to cause overheating problems and may even pose a threat to personal safety.

[0057] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a drone lighting control method, device, electronic device and storage medium. By determining the flight status of the drone and adopting different lighting temperature control strategies under different flight states, intelligent control of the temperature of the drone lighting device is achieved, thereby avoiding the drone lighting device from being damaged due to overheating or even causing safety accidents, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0058] The specific implementation of the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. First, a method for controlling the lighting of a drone provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of an implementation environment of a method for controlling lighting of a drone provided in an embodiment of the present application. In the implementation environment, the main hardware and software entities involved include a terminal processor 110 and a server 120.

[0060] Specifically, the terminal processor 110 may be installed with a related drone lighting control method control program, and the server 120 is a background server of the control program. The terminal processor 110 and the background server 120 are connected in communication. The drone lighting control method provided in the embodiment of the present application may be executed on the terminal processor 110 side.

[0061] Server 120 can be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers. It can also be a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN (Content Delivery Network), as well as big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0062] In addition, the server 120 may also be a node server in the blockchain network.

[0063] The terminal processor 110 and the server 120 may establish a communication connection through a wireless network. The wireless network uses standard communication technology and / or protocols, and the network may be set to the Internet, or any other network, such as but not limited to a local area network (LAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), a wide area network (WAN), a mobile, or any combination of a wireless network, a private network, or a virtual private network. Moreover, the above-mentioned software and hardware entities may use the same communication connection mode or different communication connection modes, and this application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0064] Of course, it is understandable that Figure 1 The implementation environment in the embodiment of the present application is only some optional application scenarios of the UAV lighting control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, and the actual application is not fixed. Figure 1 The software and hardware environment shown is not specifically limited in this application.

[0065] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 It is a flowchart of a drone lighting control method provided in an embodiment of the present application, specifically including but not limited to steps S100 to S300.

[0066] Step S100: Obtain flight data information of the UAV.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the execution entity may be a processor module mounted on the drone, or may be a computer controlled by a user.

[0068] For example, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a drone provided in an embodiment of the present application. The drone mainly includes a processor module, a communication module, a lighting device control module, a temperature monitoring module and a flight status monitoring module. Among them, the communication module is mainly responsible for data communication with the user's mobile terminal, can receive and parse the user's control command, and forward the parsed control command to the processor module; the lighting device control module is mainly used to control the on and off state of the lighting device and adjust the power brightness of the lighting device; the flight status monitoring module and the temperature monitoring module are mainly used to monitor the flight data of the drone in real time, and send the collected flight data information to the processor module.

[0069] Therefore, through the various modules carried on the drone, the flight data information of the drone can be monitored and obtained in real time. The flight data information may include flight speed, flight direction, flight time, flight altitude, flight longitude and latitude, temperature of the drone's lighting device, and other data information.

[0070] Step S200: determining the flight status of the UAV according to the flight data information; wherein the flight status includes a flight operation status, a ground landing status, and a flight return status.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, the current flight status of the drone can be judged and identified based on the acquired flight data information in multiple dimensions.

[0072] For example, the flight status of a drone may include a flight operation status, a ground landing status, and a flight return status. The flight operation status refers to the flight status of the drone being in the air for operation, the ground landing status refers to the ground stationary state of the drone before takeoff or after landing, and the flight return status refers to the flight status of the drone returning to the take-off point after completing the operation.

[0073] In practical applications, by comprehensively judging multi-dimensional flight data, such as the flight altitude and flight speed of the drone, it can be determined whether it is in a flight operation state.

[0074] Specifically, as an optional embodiment, determining the flight status of the drone according to the flight data information includes:

[0075] Determining the flight speed and altitude of the UAV according to the flight data information;

[0076] Determine the altitude change trend of the UAV according to the flight altitude at multiple consecutive sampling moments; wherein the altitude change trend includes an altitude rising trend, an altitude stabilization trend, and an altitude descending trend;

[0077] When the flight speed of the UAV is greater than a first threshold and the flight altitude of the UAV is greater than a second threshold, determining that the flight state of the UAV is the flight operation state;

[0078] When the flight speed of the UAV is less than or equal to the first threshold and the flight altitude of the UAV is less than or equal to the second threshold, determining that the flight state of the UAV is the ground landing state;

[0079] When the altitude change trend of the UAV is an altitude descending trend and the flight altitude of the UAV is less than a third threshold, it is determined that the flight state of the UAV is the flight return state.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, the flight speed and flight altitude of the UAV can be read from the acquired flight data information, and the altitude change trend of the UAV can be determined further based on the flight altitude at multiple consecutive sampling moments, wherein the altitude change trend of the UAV includes an altitude rising trend, an altitude stabilization trend, and an altitude descending trend.

[0081] For example, when the flight altitude at multiple consecutive sampling moments shows a continuously decreasing change state, it can be determined that the altitude change trend of the UAV is a decreasing trend; when the flight altitude at multiple consecutive sampling moments shows a stable change state, it can be determined that the altitude change trend of the UAV is a stable trend; when the flight altitude at multiple consecutive sampling moments shows a continuously increasing change state, it can be determined that the altitude change trend of the UAV is an increasing trend.

[0082] In practical applications, when the flight speed of the drone is greater than a first threshold and the flight altitude is greater than a second threshold, it can be determined that the drone is flying in the air, that is, it can be determined that the flight state of the drone is a flight operation state.

[0083] When the flight speed of the UAV is less than or equal to the first threshold and the flight altitude is less than or equal to the second threshold, it can be determined that the UAV is not in the operation process, that is, it can be determined that the flight state of the UAV is the ground landing state.

[0084] When the altitude change trend of the drone is a descending trend and the flight altitude of the drone is less than the third threshold, it can be determined that the drone is in a return-to-land state, that is, it can be determined that the flight state of the drone is a return-to-land state.

[0085] Among them, the first threshold, the second threshold and the third threshold can all be set according to the specific usage scenario requirements, and this application does not make any specific restrictions on this.

[0086] Step S300: determine a corresponding lighting temperature control strategy according to the flight state of the UAV, and execute the lighting temperature control strategy; wherein the lighting temperature control strategy corresponding to each flight state is different.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present application, since the lighting device (such as a high-brightness searchlight) generates a lot of heat under high-load working conditions, it is difficult to effectively dissipate the heat due to the design requirements of the drone. Therefore, different lighting temperature control strategies are set for drones in different flight states to ensure that the lighting device will not be damaged due to overheating during long-term operation, while ensuring the safe operation of the drone.

[0088] In practical applications, it is also possible to design a lightweight and efficient radiator for the drone, for example, by using aluminum alloy materials with good thermal conductivity, which not only minimizes the weight and volume of the radiator as much as possible, but also has good heat dissipation performance.

[0089] Furthermore, by equipping the processor module with a temperature control algorithm, the processor module continuously monitors the temperature of the lighting device and the flight status of the drone, and executes different lighting temperature control strategies under different flight states, so that the temperature of the lighting device is maintained within a constant temperature range, which can effectively extend the operating life.

[0090] Specifically, as an optional embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 : is a schematic diagram of a flow chart for determining the flight return state and performing temperature control according to an embodiment of the present application, wherein the corresponding lighting temperature control strategy is determined according to the flight state of the drone, including:

[0091] When the flight state of the UAV is the flight return state, the corresponding lighting temperature control strategy is determined to be turning off the lighting device of the UAV.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present application, by monitoring the flight altitude of the UAV in real time, when it is detected that the UAV is in a downward trend and the flight altitude has dropped to a preset third threshold value, it is determined that the UAV is in a return flight state at this time, and the processor module can turn off the lighting device through the lighting device control module, stop the lighting device from working, and can effectively and quickly dissipate the heat generated by the lighting device.

[0093] Optionally, during the landing process of the drone's return flight, while turning off the lighting device, the airflow generated by the drone's blades can be used to effectively dissipate heat from the radiator, which can quickly reduce the radiator temperature and prevent the overheated radiator from causing harm to the user.

[0094] Specifically, as an optional embodiment, the determining the corresponding lighting temperature control strategy according to the flight state of the drone further includes:

[0095] When the flight state of the UAV is the flight operation state, determining that the corresponding lighting temperature control strategy is the first control strategy;

[0096] The first control strategy includes:

[0097] When the temperature of the lighting device of the drone reaches a first preset temperature threshold, determining a cooling rate of the lighting device to be a first rate;

[0098] When the temperature of the lighting device of the drone reaches a second preset temperature threshold, determining a cooling rate of the lighting device to be a second rate;

[0099] When the temperature of the lighting device of the drone reaches a third preset temperature threshold, turning off the lighting device;

[0100] The first preset temperature threshold is smaller than the second preset temperature threshold, the second preset temperature threshold is smaller than the third preset temperature threshold, and the first rate is smaller than the second rate.

[0101] In an embodiment of the present application, when it is determined that the flight state of the UAV is a flight operation state, the corresponding lighting temperature control strategy is determined to be the first control strategy.

[0102] Specifically, the first control strategy includes: when the temperature of the lighting device of the drone reaches the first preset temperature threshold, the cooling rate of the lighting device is determined to be the first rate; when the temperature of the lighting device of the drone reaches the second preset temperature threshold, the cooling rate of the lighting device is determined to be the second rate; when the temperature of the lighting device of the drone reaches the third preset temperature threshold, the lighting device is turned off. The cooling rate refers to reducing the brightness of the lighting device by X, so that the temperature of the lighting device is reduced by Z°C within Y time, which can be specifically obtained through testing and calculation in actual use scenarios.

[0103] That is to say, when the drone is in a flight operation state, when the temperature of the drone's lighting device rises to different degrees, different cooling rates will be adopted. For example, assuming that the first preset temperature threshold is a°C, the second preset temperature threshold is b°C, and the third preset temperature threshold is c°C, when the drone is in a flight operation state, the temperature of the drone's lighting device rises to a°C, and the trigger condition of the first preset temperature threshold is met, the processor module will reduce the output power and brightness of the lighting device at a first rate of cooling rate X1, but if the temperature of the lighting device continues to rise to b°C due to factors such as excessively high ambient temperature, and the trigger condition of the second preset temperature threshold is met, the processor module will reduce the output power and brightness of the lighting device at a second rate of cooling rate X2, and if the temperature of the lighting device continues to rise to c°C, and the trigger condition of the third preset temperature threshold is met, the processor module will directly issue a control command to shut down the lighting device to protect the lighting device from being burned.

[0104] In practical applications, by setting the first preset temperature threshold to be lower than the second preset temperature threshold, the second preset temperature threshold to be lower than the third preset temperature threshold, and the first rate to be lower than the second rate, it is possible to achieve reasonable step-by-step segmented control of the lighting device temperature and effectively control the temperature of the drone lighting device.

[0105] Specifically, as an optional embodiment, the determining the corresponding lighting temperature control strategy according to the flight state of the drone further includes:

[0106] When the flight state of the UAV is the ground landing state, determining that the corresponding lighting temperature control strategy is the second control strategy;

[0107] The second control strategy includes:

[0108] When the temperature of the lighting device of the drone reaches a fourth preset temperature threshold, determining the cooling rate of the lighting device to be a third rate;

[0109] When the temperature of the lighting device of the drone reaches a fifth preset temperature threshold, turning off the lighting device;

[0110] The fourth preset temperature threshold is smaller than the fifth preset temperature threshold, and the first preset temperature threshold is larger than the fourth preset temperature threshold.

[0111] In an embodiment of the present application, when it is determined that the flight state of the drone is a ground landing state, the corresponding lighting temperature control strategy is determined to be the second control strategy.

[0112] Specifically, the second control strategy includes: when the temperature of the lighting device of the drone reaches the fourth preset temperature threshold, determining the cooling rate of the lighting device to be the third rate; when the temperature of the lighting device of the drone reaches the fifth preset temperature threshold, turning off the lighting device.

[0113] That is to say, when the drone is in a ground landing state, when the temperature of the drone's lighting device rises to different degrees, different cooling rates will be adopted. Exemplarily, the fourth preset temperature threshold is d°C, and the fifth preset temperature threshold is e°C. When the drone is in a ground landing state, the temperature of the drone's lighting device rises to d°C, and the trigger condition of the fourth preset temperature threshold is met. The processor module will reduce the output power and brightness of the lighting device at a third rate of a cooling rate of X3. However, if the temperature of the lighting device continues to rise to e°C due to factors such as excessively high ambient temperature, and the trigger condition of the fifth preset temperature threshold is met, the processor module will directly issue a control command to shut down the lighting device to protect the lighting device from being burned.

[0114] In actual applications, when the UAV is in a ground landing state, the propeller blades of the UAV are not started, that is to say, compared with the flight operation state, the heat dissipation capacity of the UAV at this time is relatively poorer. Therefore, by setting the first preset temperature threshold to be greater than the fourth preset temperature threshold, the temperature control strategy of the lighting device of the UAV can be better triggered in advance, thereby better protecting the operating life of the UAV.

[0115] In practical applications, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5It is a flow chart of temperature control for determining the flight status provided by an embodiment of the present application. The processor module monitors the flight status and the temperature of the lighting device of the UAV, determines the corresponding lighting temperature control strategy according to the identified flight status, and sets the corresponding preset temperature threshold according to the pre-set lighting temperature control strategy. When it is determined that the temperature of the lighting device of the UAV meets the preset temperature threshold, it triggers the reduction of the output power and temperature of the lighting device according to the corresponding cooling rate, thereby realizing intelligent control of the temperature of the lighting device of the UAV and improving the energy efficiency and safety of the lighting temperature control of the UAV.

[0116] Specifically, as an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0117] In response to a triggered update instruction, the first threshold, the second threshold, the third threshold, the first preset temperature threshold, the second preset temperature threshold, the third preset temperature threshold, the fourth preset temperature threshold, the fifth preset temperature threshold, the first rate, the second rate and the third rate are updated.

[0118] It can be understood that the first threshold, the second threshold, the third threshold, the first preset temperature threshold, the second preset temperature threshold, the third preset temperature threshold, the fourth preset temperature threshold, the fifth preset temperature threshold, the first rate, the second rate and the third rate are not pre-set and cannot be changed, but can be updated in real time by responding to the triggered update instructions, thereby better meeting the user's usage needs.

[0119] It should be noted that the update instruction can be actively triggered by the user or by the processor itself, and this application does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0120] In an embodiment of the present application, update instructions may include different update instructions such as voice update instructions, text input update instructions entered through an input box, touch update instructions triggered by touch screen operation, selection update instructions triggered by drop-down menu selection, and update instructions selected by checking a check box, but are not limited to the above content.

[0121] Specifically, as an optional implementation, after determining the corresponding lighting temperature control strategy according to the flight state of the drone and executing the lighting temperature control strategy, it also includes:

[0122] After the preset sampling interval, the step of obtaining the flight data information of the UAV is returned to be executed until the lighting temperature control strategy is determined and executed.

[0123] In an embodiment of the present application, after the flight status of the drone is determined, the corresponding lighting temperature control strategy is determined according to the flight status of the drone, and the lighting temperature control strategy is executed, it is possible to return to the step of obtaining the flight data information of the drone after a preset sampling interval, that is, to obtain the flight data information of the drone within the next sampling cycle time until the flight status of the drone is determined, the corresponding lighting temperature control strategy is determined and the lighting temperature control strategy is executed, which can realize cyclical and repeated control of the temperature of the drone's lighting device, thereby ensuring that the temperature of the drone's lighting device is always within a suitable temperature range, which helps to avoid the drone's lighting device from being damaged due to overheating or even causing safety accidents, and effectively improves the user experience.

[0124] Below, combined with the specific application implementation process, the drone lighting control method provided in this application is described in detail and explained:

[0125] In an embodiment of the present application, a drone lighting control method is provided, which can be applied to drone control scenarios. By determining the flight status of the drone and adopting different lighting temperature control strategies under different flight statuses, intelligent control of the temperature of the drone lighting device is achieved, thereby avoiding damage to the drone lighting device due to overheating or even causing safety accidents, and effectively improving the user experience.

[0126] Specifically, first of all, the various modules carried on the drone can be used to monitor and obtain the flight data information of the drone in real time. The flight data information may include flight speed, flight direction, flight time, flight altitude, flight longitude and latitude, temperature of the drone's lighting device, and other data information.

[0127] Furthermore, the current flight state of the drone can be judged and identified based on the flight data information of multiple dimensions obtained. For example, the flight speed and flight altitude of the drone in the obtained flight data information can be read, and the altitude change trend of the drone can be further determined based on the flight altitude at multiple consecutive sampling moments. When the flight speed of the drone is greater than the first threshold and the flight altitude is greater than the second threshold, the flight state can be determined to be the flight operation state. When the flight speed of the drone is less than or equal to the first threshold and the flight altitude is less than or equal to the second threshold, the flight state of the drone can be determined to be the ground landing state. When the altitude change trend of the drone is a height descending trend and the flight altitude of the drone is less than the third threshold, it can be determined that the drone's positive flight state is the flight return state.

[0128] Furthermore, by equipping the processor module with a temperature control algorithm, the processor module continuously monitors the temperature of the lighting device and the flight status of the drone, and executes different lighting temperature control strategies under different flight statuses, so that the temperature of the lighting device is maintained within a constant temperature range, which can effectively extend the operating life. For example, by real-time monitoring of the flight altitude of the drone, when it is detected that the drone is in a descending trend and the flight altitude has dropped to a preset third threshold, it is determined that the drone is in a flight return state at this time, and the processor module can turn off the lighting device through the lighting device control module, stop the lighting device from working, and effectively and quickly dissipate the heat generated by the lighting device.

[0129] Further, when it is determined that the flight state of the drone is the flight operation state, the corresponding lighting temperature control strategy is determined to be the first control strategy. Specifically, the first control strategy includes: when the temperature of the drone's lighting device reaches the first preset temperature threshold, the cooling rate of the lighting device is determined to be the first rate; when the temperature of the drone's lighting device reaches the second preset temperature threshold, the cooling rate of the lighting device is determined to be the second rate; when the temperature of the drone's lighting device reaches the third preset temperature threshold, the lighting device is turned off.

[0130] Furthermore, when it is determined that the flight state of the drone is a ground landing state, the corresponding lighting temperature control strategy is determined to be a second control strategy. Specifically, the second control strategy includes: when the temperature of the lighting device of the drone reaches a fourth preset temperature threshold, determining the cooling rate of the lighting device to be a third rate; when the temperature of the lighting device of the drone reaches a fifth preset temperature threshold, turning off the lighting device.

[0131] It can be understood that the first threshold, the second threshold, the third threshold, the first preset temperature threshold, the second preset temperature threshold, the third preset temperature threshold, the fourth preset temperature threshold, the fifth preset temperature threshold, the first rate, the second rate and the third rate are not pre-set and cannot be changed, but can be updated in real time by responding to the triggered update instructions, thereby better meeting the user's usage needs.

[0132] Finally, after the flight status of the UAV is determined, the corresponding lighting temperature control strategy is determined according to the flight status of the UAV, and the lighting temperature control strategy is executed, it is possible to return to the step of obtaining the flight data information of the UAV after a preset sampling interval, that is, to obtain the flight data information of the UAV within the next sampling cycle time until the flight status of the UAV is determined, the corresponding lighting temperature control strategy is determined and the lighting temperature control strategy is executed. This can realize repeated control of the temperature of the lighting device of the UAV, thereby ensuring that the temperature of the lighting device of the UAV is always within an appropriate temperature range, which helps to avoid damage to the lighting device of the UAV due to overheating or even safety accidents, and effectively improves the user experience.
