Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fixed-wing UAV recovery, and particularly relates to a UAV rope-collision recovery method adaptable to wind direction changes. Background Art

[0002] The recovery of UAVs is a more complex and fault-prone stage, and whether it can be safely recovered has become an important indicator for evaluating the performance of UAVs. With the development of UAV recovery technology, in addition to traditional recovery methods such as parachute recovery, net-collision recovery, airbag recovery, and runway recovery, the rope-collision recovery method has also gradually emerged. Compared with traditional recovery methods, the rope-collision recovery method has lower requirements for the site and less damage to the UAV structure.

[0003] Rope-collision recovery is a method in which a self-locking hook is set on the UAV fuselage (wing), and during recovery, the UAV is guided to impact the arrest rope of the ground recovery device with the self-locking hook for locking and recovery. The ground recovery device mainly includes a ground recovery vehicle, on which a launch rack is provided, and the arrest rope is vertically arranged on the launch rack. However, since the flight path of rope-collision recovery is generated based on the rope-collision position (i.e., the position where the UAV fuselage impacts the arrest rope), the calculation of the rope-collision position is particularly important. Currently, a relatively easy-to-operate measurement method of "rope-collision recovery simulation" is adopted for the rope-collision position, that is, before takeoff, the UAV is placed directly below the arrest rope (simulating the attitude during impact), and the current UAV position information (longitude, latitude, altitude, and heading) is obtained through the UAV's on-board positioning device. Since the longitude and latitude data are not affected by altitude, the rope-collision position is the current UAV position plus the vertical distance (the height difference between the UAV and the impact point of the arrest rope). Since the UAV rope-collision position is greatly affected by the wind direction, if the wind direction changes, the ground launch and recovery device needs to be rotated along with the wind direction, and accordingly, the rope-collision position (including the direction) on the arrest rope will also change. Only relying on the "rope-collision recovery simulation" method cannot guarantee the safe recovery of the UAV after the wind direction changes. Before the UAV conducts rope-collision recovery, if the wind direction changes, in order to track the recovery route, the UAV flies laterally, resulting in an offset of the impact position of the fuselage, and it may not be able to hit the arrest rope, leading to the failure of UAV recovery. In order to ensure the safe recovery of the UAV, the recovery is carried out when the wind direction is close to the wind direction before takeoff. Therefore, the wind direction has a great impact on the safe recovery of the UAV.

[0004] It can be seen that during the UAV cable recovery process, affected by the wind direction change, it will affect the accuracy and success rate of the UAV rope-collision recovery. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a UAV rope-collision recovery method adaptable to wind direction changes to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Technical Problems to be Solved: To avoid the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for the rope-collision recovery of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) adaptable to wind direction changes. The rope-collision position of the UAV is calculated based on the wind direction, the UAV ejection position information, and the data acquisition point information of the launch and recovery vehicle. A rope-collision recovery route is generated based on the rope-collision position to guide the recovery of the UAV. This method ensures the accuracy of obtaining the rope-collision position of the UAV and solves the problems of low recovery accuracy and success rate caused by the influence of wind direction changes on the cable recovery of existing UAVs.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is: A method for the rope-collision recovery of an unmanned aerial vehicle adaptable to wind direction changes, characterized by comprising the following steps: Step 1: Collect the first current wind direction, obtain the first horizontal direction of the launch and recovery vehicle, and make the angle between the first current wind direction and the first horizontal direction meet the set angle requirement; Based on the lateral distance and longitudinal distance on the same horizontal plane from the UAV ejection position to the rope-collision position, the longitude and latitude coordinates, heading, and altitude of the UAV ejection position, and the vertical distance from the UAV ejection position to the rope-collision position, obtain the first rope-collision position; Generate a first rope-collision recovery route through the first rope-collision position; Step 2: Before the rope-collision recovery of the UAV, re-determine whether the first rope-collision recovery route meets the recovery requirements; if it meets, use the first rope-collision recovery route to recover the UAV; if it does not meet, adjust the direction of the launch and recovery vehicle to the second horizontal direction, obtain the second rope-collision position, and generate a second rope-collision recovery route through the second rope-collision position to recover the UAV.

[0007] A further technical solution of the present invention is: The set angle requirement is that the angle between the first current wind direction and the first horizontal direction of the launch and recovery vehicle is 90° ± 5°. If the angle requirement is not met, adjust the direction of the launch and recovery vehicle until the angle requirement is met.

[0011] A further technical solution of the present invention is that: the first rope hitting position includes the longitude and latitude coordinates of the first rope hitting position, the direction of the first rope hitting position, and the altitude of the first rope hitting position. The method for obtaining the first rope hitting position is as follows: Calculate the longitude and latitude coordinates of the first rope hitting position according to the transverse distance, longitudinal distance, longitude and latitude coordinates, and heading of the UAV ejection position; Calculate the altitude of the first rope hitting position according to the altitude of the UAV ejection position and the vertical distance from the UAV ejection position to the rope hitting position; Among them, the direction of the first rope hitting position is the same as the heading of the UAV ejection position.

[0012] A further technical solution of the present invention is that: the calculation method of the longitude and latitude coordinates of the first rope hitting position is as follows: calculate the deviation data between the UAV ejection position and the rope hitting position in the rectangular coordinate system according to the transverse distance, longitudinal distance, and heading of the UAV ejection position, convert the longitude and latitude coordinates of the UAV ejection position into rectangular coordinates, calculate the rectangular coordinates of the rope hitting position according to the deviation data and the rectangular coordinates of the UAV ejection position, and convert the rectangular coordinates of the rope hitting position into the longitude and latitude coordinates of the first rope hitting position.

[0013] A further technical solution of the present invention is that: the method for re-determining whether the first rope hitting recovery route meets the recovery requirements is to obtain the second current wind direction data, compare whether the difference between the second current wind direction and the first current wind direction is less than 5°. If it is less than 5°, it is determined that the first rope hitting recovery route meets the recovery requirements. If it is greater than or equal to 5°, it is determined that the first rope hitting recovery route does not meet the recovery requirements.

[0014] A further technical solution of the present invention is that: the included angle between the second horizontal direction and the second current wind direction is 90°±5°. The method for obtaining the second horizontal direction is as follows: adjust the direction of the launch and recovery vehicle, collect the second longitude and latitude coordinates of data acquisition point Ⅰ and the second longitude and latitude coordinates of data acquisition point Ⅱ, and convert them into the second rectangular coordinates corresponding to data acquisition point Ⅰ and data acquisition point Ⅱ. Calculate the second horizontal direction of the ground launch and recovery vehicle according to the second rectangular coordinates of data acquisition point Ⅰ and the second rectangular coordinates of data acquisition point Ⅱ.

[0019] The beneficial effect of the present invention is: A method for recovering a drone by hitting a rope adaptable to wind direction changes. Before the drone takes off (at this time, the drone is at the drone ejection position on the launch and recovery vehicle), by marking two data collection points on the crossbar of the launch rack on the launch and recovery vehicle, determine the direction of the launch and recovery vehicle. When the first current wind direction and the direction of the launch and recovery vehicle satisfy 90° ± 5°, obtain the drone rope hitting position based on the drone ejection position, and generate a recovery route for the drone according to the drone rope hitting position. Before the drone is recovered by hitting the rope (at this time, the drone is in the state of flying out and waiting to be recovered), re-determine whether the rope hitting recovery route meets the recovery requirements. When collecting the second current wind direction during the determination, if the included angle between the second current wind direction and the first current wind direction is less than 5°, then use the already generated rope hitting recovery route to recover the drone; if the included angle between the second current wind direction and the first current wind direction is greater than or equal to 5°, then adjust the direction of the launch and recovery vehicle, re-obtain the rope hitting position based on the data collection points on the launch and recovery vehicle, and generate a rope hitting recovery route again through the re-obtained rope hitting position to recover the drone.

[0020] Through this method, multiple flight tests of catapult takeoff and cable recovery for fixed-wing UAVs are carried out. The UAVs take off normally by catapult in the field. Before takeoff, the cable recovery position is calculated according to the position of the UAV, and then the corresponding cable recovery route is automatically generated. If the wind direction changes during the recovery process, after the direction of the ground mobile launch and recovery vehicle is adjusted, the cable hitting position is recalculated, and a new cable recovery route is generated. The UAV adopts the new cable recovery route and completes the recovery of the UAV with extremely high accuracy, ensuring the recovery safety of the UAV. The test proves that through this method, it can meet the requirement of the fixed-wing UAV to complete the safe recovery of the UAV even after the wind direction changes, and can also meet the requirement of off-site recovery in the catapult takeoff and cable recovery mode. This method has strong reliability and solves the problem that the accuracy and success rate of the existing cable recovery method are reduced due to the influence of wind direction changes. This method has broad application prospects under the conditions without a flight runway (such as application scenarios in deserts, gobi, and the sea). BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Generate the first rope-collision recovery flight path according to the first rope-collision position.

[0035] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 3 , before the UAV takes off, it is located at the ejection position on the launch rack. There is a positioning device installed in the UAV, which can obtain the position information of the UAV, that is, the position information of the UAV ejection position, including longitude and latitude coordinates, heading, and altitude.

[0036] Exemplarily, in one embodiment, step 1.2 specifically includes: Step 1.2.1: Under the first horizontal direction of the ground launch and recovery vehicle: Collect the position information of the UAV ejection position, which includes longitude and latitude coordinates , heading and altitude data; collect the vertical distance from the UAV ejection position to the rope-collision position ; collect the lateral distance in the same horizontal plane from the UAV ejection position to the rope-collision position and longitudinal distance .

[0043] Step 1.2.3: Obtain the direction of the first rope impact position. The direction of the first rope impact position is the same as the heading of the UAV ejection position, and specifically:

[0044] Step 1.2.4: Calculate the altitude of the first rope impact position according to the altitude of the UAV ejection position and the vertical distance from the UAV ejection position to the rope impact position , and specifically:

[0045] Step 1.2.5: According to the above steps, the first rope impact position obtained is , and then the first rope recovery route can be generated according to the existing route calculation method based on the first rope impact position.

[0046] ​Step 2: Before the UAV is recovered by hitting the rope, re-determine whether the first rope-hitting recovery route meets the recovery requirements; if it meets the requirements, use the first rope-hitting recovery route to recover the UAV; if it does not meet the requirements, adjust the direction of the launch and recovery vehicle to the second horizontal direction, obtain the second rope-hitting position, and generate a second rope-hitting recovery route through the second rope-hitting position to recover the UAV.

[0047] Specifically: Step 2.1: Before the UAV is recovered by hitting the rope, re-determine whether the first rope-hitting recovery route meets the recovery requirements.

The specific method is as follows: The rectangular coordinates of the second rope hitting position calculate:

[0064] The present invention provides a calculation method for obtaining the collision rope position in two different ways: based on the ejection position of the drone on the launcher before the drone is launched, and based on a handheld Beidou device before the collision rope is recovered. After field testing, no matter how the wind direction changes, the collision rope position can be calculated, thereby generating a corresponding recovery route, ensuring the safety of the drone collision rope recovery. Tests have proved that this method can meet the needs of drone collision rope recovery under complex wind direction conditions. The drone collision rope position calculation method based on wind direction proposed by the present invention is easy to use and has high reliability, and has broad application prospects for drone collision rope recovery.
