The fixed-point landing system includes: a positioning subsystem, a landing guidance subsystem, and an intelligent control subsystem;
[0043] Fixed-point methods include:
[0044] Step 101: Obtain the three-dimensional coordinates and posture information of the UAV in the power inspection area through the positioning subsystem.
[0045] Step 102: When the UAV flies to a preset specific range from the predetermined landing point, the landing guidance subsystem obtains the UAV's horizontal offset, as well as the distance and vertical height difference from the preset landing point.

[0047] Step 104: During the landing process of the drone, steps 102 to 103 are repeated, and the three-dimensional coordinates and attitude information are updated in real time until the drone lands at the preset landing point.
[0048] In one embodiment, the positioning subsystem includes: a plurality of base stations set up in the power inspection area, a mobile station positioning module carried by a drone, and a data processing center.
[0049] It should be noted that the base station consists of multiple base stations distributed throughout the power inspection area. Each base station is equipped with an advanced multi-satellite positioning receiver (such as GPS, Beidou, and Galileo multi-mode receivers). It accurately receives satellite signals and determines its own position coordinates to obtain satellite observation data. The base station's position information and satellite observation data are then transmitted via high-speed data transmission networks (such as 5G or dedicated microwave links).
[0050] Mobile station positioning module: The multi-rotor drone is equipped with a mobile station positioning module. After receiving multi-star positioning signals, it performs differential operations with satellite observation data and adopts carrier phase differential (RTK) technology. The positioning accuracy can reach the centimeter level.
[0051] In the data processing center, the differential data is processed in real time with the help of professional positioning solution software, and the precise three-dimensional coordinates (longitude λ, latitude φ, altitude h) and attitude information (pitch angle) of the drone are calculated according to specific formulas.

[0062] In one embodiment, the landing guidance subsystem comprises: optical guidance marks and radio frequency signal transmitting devices arranged in the preset landing point preset range, and image recognition modules and radio frequency receivers carried on the unmanned aerial vehicle;
[0063] The optical guidance mark is composed of a high-brightness and high-directional LED light source array in a specific shape, and is equipped with a power module for power supply.
[0064] The image recognition module comprises an optical sensor and an image recognition unit, and is provided with an image recognition algorithm based on edge detection and geometric shape matching.
[0065] The radio frequency signal transmitting device comprises a radio frequency signal transmitter, a power amplifier and an antenna.
[0066] The radio frequency receiver is provided with a preprocessing circuit, and the preprocessing circuit comprises a filtering circuit and a demodulation circuit.
[0067] The radio frequency signal transmitter is used to generate corresponding radio frequency signals according to the coordinate and height information of the preset landing point, and the radio frequency signals contain specific frequency and coding format; the power amplifier amplifies the radio frequency signals and then radiates and propagates in the air through the antenna.
[0068] The radio frequency receiver is used to receive and preprocess the radio frequency signals to obtain the coordinates of the preset landing point.
[0069] It should be noted that the optical guidance mark: a special optical guidance mark is arranged near the power tower preset landing point, which is composed of a high-brightness and high-directional LED light source array in a specific shape (such as cross-shaped or circular), and is equipped with a power module for power supply to ensure stable light emission when the unmanned aerial vehicle lands.
[0070] Image recognition module: The drone is equipped with an optical sensor and an image recognition unit. When the drone approaches the landing point, the optical sensor captures the image of the optical guidance mark. The image recognition unit uses an image recognition algorithm based on edge detection and geometric shape matching to analyze the deviation between the center position of the mark in the image and the optical axis of the drone camera, and calculates the horizontal offset of the drone ( , ).
[0071] Radio frequency signal transmitting and receiving device:
[0072] Transmitter Principle and Construction: The RF signal transmitter is located near the designated landing point and primarily consists of an RF signal generator, a power amplifier, and an antenna. The RF signal generator generates an RF signal based on the precise coordinates and altitude of the designated landing point. This signal contains a specific frequency and encoding format to distinguish it from other ambient signals. The power amplifier amplifies the RF signal, enhancing its transmission range and signal strength, ensuring reliable reception within a certain range for drones. The antenna radiates the amplified RF signal into the air. Using a directional antenna allows the signal to be focused toward the airspace where the drone is likely to be located, improving signal transmission efficiency.
[0073] Receiver principle and workflow: After receiving the RF signal, the RF receiver on the drone first filters the signal through the filter circuit to remove clutter and interference signals, retaining only the target RF signal. Then, the signal is demodulated by the demodulation circuit and the landing point coordinates ( Finally, the distance to the landing point is calculated based on the distance formula between two points in space. and vertical height difference , providing key data support for the landing control of the UAV.
[0074] In one embodiment, the intelligent control subsystem includes: a flight controller and a model predictive control algorithm module.
[0075] It should be noted that the flight controller: with a high-performance flight controller as the core, integrates a powerful microprocessor and rich sensor interfaces, and receives the three-dimensional coordinates and attitude information of the positioning subsystem and the guidance information of the landing guidance subsystem.
[0076] MPC algorithm module: The intelligent control subsystem has a built-in intelligent control algorithm module based on model predictive control (MPC). The MPC algorithm makes predictions based on the UAV dynamics model, and its discrete state space model is expressed as: , (in is the state vector, is the control input vector, A, B, C are the system matrices, is the process noise, is the measurement noise).
[0077] By solving the optimization problem: (Q, R are weight matrices, is the terminal weight matrix, To control the sequence, is the prediction of the state at time k + 1 based on the information at time k), and the speed adjustment of each rotor motor of the UAV is calculated and expected flight attitude change , to achieve precise control of the UAV's flight attitude (pitch, yaw, roll) and flight trajectory, and guide it to land smoothly at the predetermined landing point.
[0078] In one embodiment, step 101 includes:
[0079] When the drone completes its patrol operation, it starts the landing procedure;
[0080] The base station receives satellite signals, determines the base station's own position coordinates based on the satellite signals, obtains satellite observation data, and transmits it externally;
[0081] The satellite signal is received by the mobile station positioning module, and differential transmission calculation is performed based on the satellite signal and the received satellite observation data to obtain differential data;
[0082] The data processing center calculates the three-dimensional coordinates and posture information of the UAV in the power inspection area based on the differential data.
[0083] It should be noted that after the multi-rotor drone completes the power inspection operation, it starts the fixed-point landing procedure. The base station of the high-precision positioning subsystem continuously transmits satellite observation data, and the mobile station on the drone receives the satellite signal and performs differential transmission with the satellite observation data. After receiving the differential data, the data processing center calculates the precise three-dimensional coordinates of the drone according to the RTK positioning formula ( ) and posture information ( ).
[0084] In one embodiment, step 102 includes:
[0085] When the UAV flies to a preset specific range from the planned landing point, the optical sensor recognizes the optical guide mark. When the optical guide mark is recognized, the horizontal offset of the UAV is calculated based on the recognized image;
[0086] At the same time, the RF signal transmitted by the RF signal transmitter is received by the RF receiver and pre-processed to obtain the coordinates of the preset landing point, thereby calculating the distance and vertical height difference between the UAV and the preset landing point according to the coordinates of the preset landing point.
[0087] It should be noted that when the UAV flies to a specific range (e.g. 50 meters) from the scheduled landing point, the optical guidance mark of the landing guidance subsystem enters the field of view of the UAV optical sensor. The UAV image recognition system quickly captures the mark image and calculates the horizontal offset ( Almost at the same time, the RF signal emitted by the RF signal transmitter is received by the drone, and the coordinates of the landing point are analyzed ( ), and calculate the distance to the landing point according to the spatial distance formula and vertical height difference , providing key data support for the landing control of the UAV.
[0088] In one embodiment, step 103 includes:
[0089] When the drone starts to land, the flight controller receives the three-dimensional coordinates, attitude information, horizontal offset, distance and vertical height difference and sends them to the model predictive control algorithm module;
[0090] The model predictive control algorithm module is based on the UAV dynamics model. It calculates the speed adjustment of each rotor motor and the expected flight attitude change of the UAV according to the three-dimensional coordinates, attitude information, horizontal offset, distance and vertical height difference, and sends them to the flight controller, so that the flight controller controls the UAV to make it approach the preset landing point.
[0091] It should be noted that the intelligent control subsystem uses the MPC control algorithm to calculate the speed adjustment of each rotor motor of the drone based on the acquired three-dimensional coordinates, attitude information, offset, distance and height difference information. Change from expected flight attitude The flight controller sends control signals to each rotor motor based on the calculation results, adjusting the drone's flight attitude and speed to bring it closer to the landing point.
[0092] In one embodiment, step 104 includes:
[0093] During the landing process of the drone, steps 102-103 are repeated, and the three-dimensional coordinates and attitude information are updated in real time;
[0094] The horizontal distance and vertical height between the drone and the preset landing point are obtained based on the real-time three-dimensional coordinates and attitude information. When the horizontal distance and vertical height both meet the corresponding preset safety values, the drone is controlled to land at the preset safety speed until the drone lands at the preset landing point.
[0095] It should be noted that during the landing process, the steps of acquiring landing guidance information and controlling landing are repeated continuously, updating the drone's position and attitude information in real time, and dynamically adjusting flight parameters. When the drone's horizontal distance from the landing point is less than a set threshold (e.g., 1 meter) and its vertical height is less than the safe landing height (e.g., 0.5 meters), the drone is controlled to descend at a low speed (e.g., 0.1 meters per second) until it lands smoothly at the predetermined landing point.
[0096] The following is an explanation of the method for landing the power inspection drone after operation, and its application in actual power inspection operations:
[0097] 1. First, base stations for the high-precision positioning subsystem were strategically deployed throughout the power line inspection area to ensure full coverage of the positioning signal. The base station coordinates were precisely measured and calibrated to ensure accurate and reliable positioning data. Furthermore, optical guidance markers and radio frequency signal transmitters for the landing guidance subsystem were installed at the designated landing points on each power tower, and comprehensive commissioning and testing were performed to ensure proper and stable operation.
[0098] 2. Before the multi-rotor drone performs a power inspection, its intelligent control subsystem is configured with parameters, such as loading flight performance parameters and presetting MPC algorithm-related parameters. During the inspection, the intelligent control subsystem monitors the drone's flight status in real time.
[0099] 3. After the mission is completed, the UAV will automatically perform the landing operation according to the fixed-point landing method. During the entire landing process, the ground operator can use the monitoring system to view the UAV's position, attitude, landing progress and other information in real time, and can intervene manually in time in case of abnormal situations.
[0100] The method for fixed-point landing of power inspection drones after operation provided by the present invention can significantly improve the landing accuracy and safety of multi-rotor drones in the complex environment of power facilities, effectively reduce the risk of equipment damage and safety accidents caused by landing errors, and greatly improve the efficiency and reliability of power inspection work.
