Description of the Drawings

[0051] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the space between a fire scene and a drone. Specific embodiments
[0052] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present invention to facilitate those skilled in the art of this technology to understand the present invention. However, it should be clear that the present invention is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments. For those of ordinary skill in the art of this technology, as long as various changes are within the spirit and scope of the present invention defined and determined by the appended claims, these changes are obvious, and all inventions and creations using the concept of the present invention are within the scope of protection.
[0053] As Figure 1 shown, a control method for a drone spraying a flame retardant includes:
[0054] S1: The drone obtains a distance-thermal imaging image that fuses the fire scene temperature and distance, and calculates the positioning coordinates of the bottom of the fire scene based on the DEM terrain data of the target fire extinguishing area, as well as the direction angles β and field of view angles α of laser ranging and infrared thermal imaging to achieve the positioning of the bottom of the fire scene. Step S1 specifically includes:
[0055] Step S11: Retrieve the DEM terrain data of the target fire extinguishing area. The drone carries the flame retardant and reaches above the fire scene. Use a laser rangefinder and an infrared thermal imager to obtain a distance-thermal imaging image that fuses the fire scene temperature and distance, and obtain the temperature data and distance data , where is the pixel number;
[0056] The temperature data represents the temperature at which the combustible corresponding to each pixel in the distance-thermal imaging image burns, and the distance data represents the straight-line distance from the position of the combustible corresponding to each pixel in the distance-thermal imaging image to the drone. During the fusion of the fire scene temperature and distance, ensure that the measurement range of the laser rangefinder is the same as the imaging range of the infrared thermal imager, that is, the pixels of the laser distance image and the infrared temperature image correspond in position.
[0057] During the flight of the drone, the positioning coordinates are fed back to the DEM terrain data in real time. The coordinates of the drone flight positioning are converted into the DEM terrain data space, and the positioning of the fire scene is achieved by using the fire scene data obtained by the drone. Through the DEM terrain data, the terrain elevation and plane coordinate data in the target fire extinguishing area can be reflected.
[0058] Step S12: Set the fire ground temperature threshold , compare the temperature data with the fire ground temperature threshold . If , then determine that the pixel n is a fire ground pixel. If , then determine that the pixel is a non-fire ground pixel;
[0059] Step S13: Delete the non-fire ground pixels in the distance-thermal imaging image, retain the fire ground pixels, and obtain the distance data corresponding to each fire ground pixel d , the distance data d represents the straight-line distance from different positions to the fire ground;
[0060] Step S14: Take the current cruising position of the UAV as the coordinate origin to establish a three-dimensional coordinate system, as Figure 2 shown. According to the cruising altitude of the UAV, obtain the coordinates of the terrain positioning point below the UAV in the three-dimensional coordinate system ; Based on the coordinates of the current cruising position of the UAV in the DEM terrain data, use the coordinates as the basis for coordinate transformation, is the elevation of the terrain positioning point;
[0061] In this embodiment, during the coordinate transformation process, the unit coordinate scale of the three-dimensional coordinate system is the same as that in the DEM terrain data, and the directions of the coordinate axes are the same, which facilitates the coordinate transformation between different coordinate systems and avoids the positioning error caused by the differences between coordinate systems.
[0062] Step S15: Use the direction angles β and field of view angles α of the laser rangefinder and infrared thermal imager carried on the UAV to calculate the coordinates of the terrain point at the bottom of the fire in the three-dimensional coordinate system ;
[0063] ;
[0064] Among them, is the distance data corresponding to the bottommost fire ground pixel, is the horizontal azimuth angle of the laser rangefinder and infrared thermal imager in the three-dimensional coordinate system;
[0065] Step S16: Use the coordinates and the coordinates to calculate the coordinates of the terrain point at the bottom of the fire in the DEM terrain data ;
[0066] ;
[0067] Step S17: Locate the fire scene according to the coordinates within the DEM terrain data and feed back the current ignition point of the fire scene to the control center.
[0068] Step S2: Calculate the height of the fire scene, and construct a relationship model between the height and width of the fire scene to calculate the burning diameter of the fire scene and determine the coverage range of the flame retardant spraying. Step S2 specifically includes:
[0069] Step S21: Calculate the height of the fire scene according to the relative height of the fire scene pixels at the top compared to the fire scene pixels at the bottom in the distance-thermal imaging image H ;
[0070] ;
[0071] wherein, is the pixel coordinate of the fire scene pixel at the top, is the pixel coordinate of the fire scene pixel at the bottom,
[0072] is the proportionality coefficient between the pixel coordinate and the actual distance.
[0073] When the present invention fuses the temperature data and distance data of the pixels in the distance-thermal imaging image, since the upper part of the fire scene is the flame part and the laser can penetrate the flame, the distance data of the upper part pixels of the distance-thermal imaging image is an untrue distance value, while the lower part is the combustible or combustion area, and the distance data is the true distance value. When calculating the height data of the fire scene, the calculation is based on the distance data of the bottom pixels.
[0074] Step S22: Use the height of the fire scene to calculate the burning diameter of the fire scene ; In this embodiment, when calculating the burning diameter of the fire scene, the burning effect of the fire scene is equivalent to a standard experimental model, considering the influence of the wind field and ignoring the influence of other natural conditions to reduce the calculation difficulty. After verification, the fire scene height and the width model of the combustible burning in this embodiment are sufficient to meet the requirements of the flame retardant spraying evaluation, and the fire extinguishing effect of the drone spraying the flame retardant meets the requirements.
[0075] ;
[0076] wherein, is the burning rate of the combustible at the fire occurrence location, is the air density, g is the acceleration due to gravity, u is the wind speed around the fire scene, is the characteristic wind speed, , is the combustion range, and the combustion range is determined according to the terrain where the fire occurs. If it occurs indoors, the maximum straight-line distance in the indoor space is taken as the combustion range . If it occurs in the mountainous area, the straight-line distance between the fire occurrence location and the nearest obstacle is taken as the combustion range ;
[0077] Step S23: Take the terrain point coordinates at the bottom of the fire scene as the center point for spraying the flame retardant. The coverage radius of the flame retardant is taken as 2 R , and a coverage range for spraying the flame retardant is generated with the center point of the flame retardant spraying as the center of the circle
[0078] Step S3: According to the height and horizontal distance of the UAV from the bottom of the fire scene, construct a control model for spraying the flame retardant, and calculate the injection pressure and total spraying amount of the UAV-controlled nozzle for spraying the flame retardant. Step S3 specifically includes:
[0079] Step S31: The UAV controls the angle of the flame retardant spraying nozzle to point to the terrain point at the bottom of the fire scene. According to the height of the UAV from the bottom of the fire scene and the horizontal distance , construct a control model for spraying the flame retardant , and calculate the injection pressure of the UAV-controlled nozzle for spraying the flame retardant p ;
[0080] ;
[0081] Among them, is the injection pressure based on the vertical injection velocity component, is the injection pressure based on the horizontal injection velocity component, is the density of the flame retardant, represents taking the maximum value, is the velocity coefficient, and the highest value of the velocity coefficient is taken as 0.97, and generally 0.95 is taken;
[0082] Step S32: According to the rated spraying intensity of the nozzle , considering the attenuation of the spraying intensity within the coverage range of the flame retardant spraying, calculate the total spraying amount Q ;
[0083] ;
[0084] Among them, is the spraying intensity attenuation coefficient, is the natural constant, is the rated spraying intensity. Since the nozzle is aimed at the center of the spraying coverage, it is considered in the calculation process of this embodiment that there will be no attenuation of the spraying intensity at the center of the coverage of the flame retardant spraying. Based on this, the spraying intensity follows a Gaussian distribution, that is, the closer to the spraying center point, the higher the spraying intensity, and the farther the distance, the lower it is. The spraying intensity represents the spraying amount per unit area per unit time.
[0085] Step S4: Based on the cruising altitude of the UAV, and using the height and horizontal distance of the UAV from the bottom of the fire scene, calculate the reaction force on the UAV during the flame retardant spraying process, construct an attitude correction equation for the UAV, and correct the flight attitude of the UAV. Step S4 specifically includes:
[0086] Step S41: Based on the cruising altitude of the UAV , the UAV controls the nozzle to point to the bottom of the fire scene and controls the spraying amount Q and injection pressure p of the flame retardant to extinguish the fire at the fire scene;
[0087] Step S42: Calculate the horizontal reaction force and vertical reaction force on the UAV during the flame retardant spraying process according to the height and horizontal distance of the UAV from the bottom of the fire scene;
[0088] ;
[0089] wherein, is the mass flow rate during the flame retardant spraying process;
[0090] Step S43: Based on the horizontal reaction force and vertical reaction force construct an attitude correction equation for the UAV during the flame retardant spraying process;
[0091] ;
[0092] wherein, are the angular velocities about the x , y , z axes respectively, are the moments of inertia about the x , y , z axes respectively, are the reaction forces in the x , y , z directions respectively, and satisfy , the resultant force of which is equal to the horizontal reaction force , and satisfy , is the position coordinate of the reaction point on the UAV relative to the centroid of the UAV during the flame retardant spraying process;
[0093] Step S44: During the process of the UAV spraying the flame retardant, correct the flight attitude of the UAV according to the attitude correction equation to ensure the accuracy of the flame retardant spraying process.
[0094] The present invention uses infrared imaging technology and laser ranging technology to locate and identify a fire scene, calculate the height and burning diameter data of the fire scene, which are used to locate the spraying of the flame retardant and determine the spraying range. While ensuring the fire extinguishing effect, it avoids excessive spraying of the flame retardant, resulting in waste of the flame retardant, realizes the precise calculation of the spraying amount and spraying pressure of the flame retardant, and at the same time, the calculated flame retardant spraying control data can be used for UAV attitude correction to reduce the influence on the UAV attitude during the flame retardant spraying process.
