[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 related technologies, drones are often equipped with high-brightness searchlights to assist with nighttime operations. However, in practice, high-power searchlights generate significant heat during operation. Drones cannot utilize traditional cooling solutions, such as large radiators or fans, to maintain flight performance. Consequently, significant heat buildup can easily lead to overheating, potentially posing a threat to personnel safety.

[0057] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide 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 damage to the drone lighting device due to overheating or even causing safety accidents, and effectively improving the user experience.

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

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

[0060] Specifically, the terminal processor 110 may be installed with a control program for the related drone lighting control method, and the server 120 is the backend server for the control program. The terminal processor 110 and the backend server 120 are in communication with each other. The drone lighting control method provided in the embodiments of the present application may be executed on the terminal processor 110.

[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] A communication connection can be established between the terminal processor 110 and the server 120 via a wireless network. The wireless network uses standard communication technologies and / or protocols. The network can be the Internet or any other network, including, but not limited to, a local area network (LAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), a wide area network (WAN), a mobile network, or any combination of a wireless network, a private network, or a virtual private network. Furthermore, the aforementioned software and hardware entities can use the same or different communication connection methods, 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. The actual application is not fixed to Figure 1 The software and hardware environment shown is not specifically limited in this application.

[0065] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 1 is a flow chart of a method for controlling lighting of a UAV 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 can be a processor module mounted on the drone, or a computer controlled by the 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 primarily includes a processor module, a communication module, a lighting device control module, a temperature monitoring module, and a flight status monitoring module. The communication module is primarily responsible for data communication with the user's mobile terminal, receiving and parsing user control commands and forwarding the parsed control commands to the processor module. The lighting device control module is primarily used to control the lighting device's on / off state and adjust its power and brightness. The flight status monitoring module and the temperature monitoring module are primarily used to monitor the drone's flight data in real time and transmit 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: Determine the flight status of the UAV based on the flight data information; wherein the flight status includes flight operation status, ground landing status, and 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 flight data information of multiple dimensions obtained.

[0072] For example, a drone's flight status may include flight operation status, ground landing status, and flight return status. Flight operation status refers to the state in which the drone is performing operations in the air; ground landing status refers to the state in which the drone is stationary on the ground before takeoff or after landing; and flight return status refers to the state in which the drone returns to its takeoff point after completing operations.

[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 based on the flight data information;

[0076] Determining a height change trend of the UAV according to the flight altitude at multiple consecutive sampling moments; wherein the height change trend includes a height rising trend, a height stabilization trend, and a height 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 a descending trend and the flight altitude of the UAV is less than a third threshold, the flight state of the UAV is determined to be the return flight state.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, the flight speed and flight altitude of the drone in the acquired 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, wherein the altitude change trend of the drone 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 descending 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 ascending 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 drone 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 drone is not in the operation process, that is, it can be determined that the flight state of the drone 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 impose any specific restrictions on this.

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

[0087] In the embodiments of this application, lighting devices (e.g., high-intensity searchlights) generate a large amount of heat when operating under high load, but due to the design requirements of the drone, it is difficult to effectively dissipate this heat. Therefore, different lighting temperature control strategies are set for the drone in different flight states to ensure that the lighting device will not be damaged by 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 This is a flow chart of determining the return flight status and performing temperature control according to an embodiment of the present application. The corresponding lighting temperature control strategy is determined according to the flight status of the drone, including:

[0091] When the flight state of the UAV is the return flight 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 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.

[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, 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 drone's lighting device reaches a first preset temperature threshold, determining the lighting device's cooling rate to be a first rate; when the temperature of the drone's lighting device reaches a second preset temperature threshold, determining the lighting device's cooling rate to be a second rate; and when the temperature of the drone's lighting device reaches a third preset temperature threshold, turning the lighting device off. The cooling rate refers to reducing the lighting device's brightness by X degrees, resulting in a temperature drop of Z degrees Celsius within Y time. This can be calculated through testing in actual usage scenarios.

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

[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, 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, when the drone is in a ground landing state, different cooling rates will be adopted when the temperature of the drone's lighting device rises to different levels. For example, 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, meeting the trigger condition of the fourth preset temperature threshold. The processor module will reduce the output power and brightness of the lighting device at a third rate of cooling rate x3. However, if the temperature of the lighting device continues to rise to e°C due to factors such as excessively high ambient temperature, meeting the trigger condition of the fifth preset temperature threshold, the processor module will directly issue a control command to shut down the lighting device to protect the lighting device from burning.

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

[0115] In actual application, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5This is a flow chart of a method for determining the flight status and performing temperature control provided in 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 manner, the method further includes:

[0117] In response to the 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 limitations 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 checked by 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, the method further includes:

[0122] After the preset sampling interval, the process returns to the step of obtaining the flight data information of the UAV 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, and 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 pre-set sampling interval, that is, 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 the 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 states, 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 by the drone can be used to monitor and obtain the drone's flight data information 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 status 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 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 status can be determined to be the flight operation status. 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 status of the drone can be determined to be the ground landing status. 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, the current flight status of the drone can be determined to be the flight return status.

[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, executing different lighting temperature control strategies under different flight conditions. This maintains the temperature of the lighting device within a constant temperature range, effectively extending its operating life. For example, by monitoring the drone's flight altitude in real time, if it detects that the drone is descending and has dropped to a preset third threshold, determining that the drone is in a return-to-home state, the processor module can then, through the lighting device control module, shut down the lighting device, effectively and quickly dissipating the heat generated by the lighting device.

[0129] Furthermore, when the UAV's flight state is determined to be a flight operation state, the corresponding lighting temperature control strategy is determined to be a first control strategy. Specifically, the first control strategy includes: when the temperature of the UAV's lighting device reaches a first preset temperature threshold, determining the lighting device's cooling rate to be a first rate; when the temperature of the UAV's lighting device reaches a second preset temperature threshold, determining the lighting device's cooling rate to be a second rate; and when the temperature of the UAV's lighting device reaches a third preset temperature threshold, turning off the lighting device.

[0130] Furthermore, when the drone's flight state is determined to be 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 drone's lighting device reaches a fourth preset temperature threshold, determining the lighting device's cooling rate to be a third rate; when the temperature of the drone's lighting device 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 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, the step of obtaining the flight data information of the drone can be returned to after the preset sampling interval. That is to say, the flight data information of the drone within the next sampling cycle is obtained 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. This can realize the 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 an appropriate 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.
