[0025] How to establish information interconnection and mutual communication among multiple drones internally through an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) ad-hoc network; through a dynamic programming algorithm based on heuristic search and a highly hierarchical inspection operation method to carry out the overall planning of the inspection routes of each UAV, thereby ensuring the inspection efficiency while also guaranteeing the safety during the entire inspection process.

[0026] Based on this, a dynamic programming method for a photovoltaic multi-UAV collaborative inspection route of the present invention includes the following steps: S1. Conduct 3D modeling on the photovoltaic inspection area through lidar, and divide no-fly zones and flyable areas; establish an ad-hoc communication network among multiple drones to achieve real-time data sharing between the drones and the ground control center; S2. Use a detection module to monitor external intruding aircraft in the inspection area in real time and predict the travel route of the external intruding aircraft; S3. Receive and share the flight status information of each drone in real time through the ground control center; S4. Allocate inspection layers at different heights according to the drone parameters, and further divide the operation height within the same inspection layer; detect flight path intersections between drones in real time. When the detected distance between drones approaches the preset safety threshold, trigger an avoidance mechanism and adjust the flight parameters; S5. Generate a dynamic inspection route for each drone based on a dynamic programming algorithm of heuristic search, combined with a safety distance model and the real-time task allocation result; S6. Dynamically adjust the inspection route according to the real-time updated environmental data and drone status.

[0027] The dynamic programming method for the collaborative inspection route of multiple photovoltaic drones of the present invention provides high-precision three-dimensional space data, ensures the accuracy of no-fly zone division, and avoids collisions between drones and obstacles (such as poles and cables). The Mesh ad-hoc communication supports multi-hop routing and two-way real-time communication, ensuring data synchronization and providing a stable communication foundation for the collaborative operation of multiple drones. By fusing real-time data with historical trajectories through the Kalman filter algorithm, the prediction accuracy is high, providing a reliable basis for avoidance decisions. The present invention allocates the inspection layer height according to the drone performance, avoiding resource conflicts. When triggering avoidance, the drone with a higher priority maintains the original route, and other drones fly around in a preset direction, reducing the path adjustment time.

[0028] Moreover, the present invention balances the path length and the safety distance through a dynamic weight factor to generate a globally optimal route. The safety distance model: The cost function comprehensively considers the collision risk, route deviation, and environmental impact to ensure the safety of the route. The drone performance, environmental data, and task requirements are uniformly incorporated into the planning model to achieve flexible adaptation in complex scenarios.

[0029] In some embodiments, the 3D modeling of the present invention identifies poles, cables, and obstacles through lidar to generate a spatial model including the boundaries of no-fly zones. Lidar provides high-precision point cloud data, ensuring the accuracy of no-fly zone and flyable area division, and being able to identify obstacles in complex environments, providing a safe flight space for drones. The present invention adopts a Mesh network, which supports two-way real-time communication between drones and the ground control center. The Mesh network supports multi-hop communication, ensuring communication stability in complex environments.

[0030] In some embodiments, the flight state information of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) of the present invention includes position, speed, and flight direction. Predicting the travel route of an external intruding aircraft includes calculating the future flight path and occupied space based on its speed, direction, and historical trajectory. UAV parameters include UAV model, maximum flight altitude, and sensor type. By sharing the flight state information in real time, the ground control center can comprehensively grasp the dynamics of the UAV, accurately predict the future path of the intruding aircraft based on the historical trajectory and real-time data, provide a time window for the avoidance mechanism, and reduce the collision risk.

[0031] Furthermore, the present invention adjusts the flight path according to the task priority and preset rules to ensure that high-priority tasks are not affected. By adjusting the bypass direction, path conflicts are reduced, and the overall inspection efficiency is improved. The dynamic programming algorithm for heuristic search is the A* algorithm, which can optimize the path search through dynamic weight factors and generate a globally optimal flight route. The construction of the safety distance model includes converting the UAV flight restrictions, environmental factors, and anti-collision constraints into a cost function, and dynamically optimizing the flight route interval through the UAV spacing; the dynamic adjustment includes regenerating the flight route according to the updated data, updating the flight route through real-time data, and ensuring the safety of the inspection.

[0032] The present invention also provides a dynamic programming system for the collaborative inspection flight routes of photovoltaic multi-UAVs. The system includes a modeling and communication module, an aircraft monitoring module, a flight state module, an inspection layer allocation and avoidance module, a dynamic flight route planning module, and a flight route dynamic adjustment module; wherein: Modeling and communication module: used to perform three-dimensional modeling on the photovoltaic inspection area through lidar, divide the no-fly zone and flyable area; establish an ad hoc communication network between multiple UAVs to achieve real-time data sharing between the UAVs and the ground control center; Aircraft monitoring module: used to monitor external intruding aircraft in the inspection area in real time through a detection module and predict the travel route of the external intruding aircraft; Flight state module: used to receive and share the flight state information of each UAV in real time through the ground control center; Inspection layer allocation and avoidance module: used to allocate inspection layers at different heights according to UAV parameters, and further divide the operation layer height within the same inspection layer; detect the intersection of flight paths between UAVs in real time, and when it is detected that the distance between UAVs approaches the preset safety threshold, trigger the avoidance mechanism and adjust the flight parameters; Dynamic flight route planning module: used to generate a dynamic inspection flight route for each UAV based on the dynamic programming algorithm for heuristic search, combined with the safety distance model and the real-time task allocation result; Flight route dynamic adjustment module: used to dynamically adjust the inspection flight route according to the real-time updated environmental data and UAV status.

[0033] The present invention integrates flight monitoring, flight restrictions, inspection layer allocation, environmental factors, anti-collision constraints, and dynamic route planning and adjustment to form a model, improving the practicality and safety of drones in photovoltaic inspection operations.

[0034] The following further details a dynamic planning method and system for a collaborative inspection route of multiple photovoltaic drones according to the present invention through specific embodiments.

[0035] As Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, the system mainly includes a ground control center, a detection module, a self-organizing network, a route dynamic planning module, etc.

[0036] First, perform three-dimensional modeling on the external environment through lidar, divide no-fly zones for poles, high-rise buildings, and cables, and clarify the regional space where drones can carry out inspection flights.

[0037] Second, establish a stable and reliable communication network among multiple drones. Adopt self-organizing network communication technology (such as Mesh network) to achieve real-time data sharing and information interaction among drones.

[0038] Third, the detection module continuously monitors illegal intruding aircraft in the inspection operation area. If a non-networked aircraft is found, track and draw its moving state, and predict its action route and moving space based on its speed and direction.

[0039] Fourth, the control center shares the movement information of each drone with all parties in real time. Each drone sends its own position, speed, flight direction, etc. to other drones and the ground control center through the communication network in real time, ensuring that each party can master the real-time dynamics of drones in the entire operation area.

[0040] Fifth, during inspection operations, divide the inspection collection heights at different heights from the ground. The ground control center allocates inspection collection height layers at different heights from the ground according to drone parameters. Drones with the same type of parameters get the first priority, and further subdivide the inspection operation height layer at the same hierarchical height. The operation height layer should be more than 10 times the navigation control accuracy under the current actual conditions to avoid overlapping problems.

[0041] Sixth, when it is detected that there is an intersection in the moving space between different drones, avoidance is required. When a drone detects that the distance to other drones is close to the preset safety distance threshold, immediately activate the avoidance mechanism. Send an avoidance request to surrounding drones through the communication network, and at the same time, automatically adjust its own flight height, speed, or direction according to the preset rules to avoid collision. For example, according to the priority rule, the drone performing an emergency inspection task gives priority to maintaining its original route, and other drones make way; or according to the preset avoidance direction, such as clockwise or counterclockwise for detouring and avoidance.

[0042] Seventh, when planning the flight routes, fully consider the safety distance between the UAVs, and incorporate collision avoidance as an important constraint condition into the algorithm. Based on real-time data and the task assignment results, use a dynamic programming algorithm based on heuristic search (such as algorithm) to plan the optimal inspection flight routes for each UAV: Construct a safety distance model: In the algorithm, convert the flight restrictions of the UAVs (such as the maximum flight distance, maximum flight altitude, turning radius, etc.), environmental factors (such as the influence of wind speed on the flight path), and constraints such as avoiding collisions between UAVs into a cost function. Taking the distance between UAVs as a key parameter, construct a safety distance model. When the predicted flight routes of two UAVs may cause them to enter an unsafe distance range at a certain moment, the algorithm automatically adjusts the flight routes of one or both UAVs to increase the safety interval between the flight routes.

[0043] Eighth, the inspection flight routes are dynamically adjusted automatically according to the dynamic changes of the UAVs. During the flight, the UAVs receive the updated data sent by the ground control center in real time, including the state changes of other UAVs and the update of environmental data. When the data changes, restart the flight route planning algorithm and dynamically adjust the flight routes according to the latest information to ensure a safe flight distance throughout the operation process and effectively prevent collisions between UAVs.

[0044] Generally speaking, for a dynamic programming method and system for collaborative inspection flight routes of multiple photovoltaic UAVs of the present invention, establish the detection of the azimuth of external UAVs through a detection radar, and establish information intercommunication and mutual connection between internal multiple UAVs based on the UAV ad hoc network; through a dynamic programming algorithm based on heuristic search and a height-stratified inspection operation method, carry out the overall planning of the inspection flight routes of each UAV, thereby ensuring the inspection efficiency while also ensuring the safety during the entire inspection process. The present invention can reduce the safety risks existing in the process of collaborative operation of multiple UAVs, reduce the risks of flight route conflicts to the collaborative inspection operation of UAVs, and achieve safe and efficient inspection operations of multiple UAVs.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not impose any form of limitation on the present invention; any ordinary technical personnel in the industry can smoothly implement the present invention according to the description in the specification and the above description. Slight modifications, decorations, and equivalent changes made using the technical content disclosed above are all equivalent embodiments of the present invention; at the same time, any equivalent changes, modifications, and evolutions made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
