Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) design, and particularly to a method for analyzing and processing measurement errors of a thrust line based on a suspension method. Background Art

[0002] When launching a UAV, the relative position relationship between the thrust line and the center of gravity is generally measured by a weighing method and a suspension method.

[0003] The weighing method is applicable to UAVs of all sizes, but it only measures the actual center of gravity of the UAV, without directly measuring the connection between the thrust line and the center of gravity, and requires more sensors, resulting in relatively large errors. The suspension method is generally only applicable to small and medium-sized UAVs. During the measurement process, the UAV generally needs to be flipped and lifted from the abdomen, and the measurement accuracy is relatively high. Since there are certain differences between the actual state of the UAV before launch and the measurement results of the thrust line, it is necessary to analyze and process the measurement errors.

[0004] The existing technology involves less analysis of the measurement errors of the thrust line based on the suspension method, and only qualitatively analyzes a single influencing factor. More research is focused on the measurement method.

[0005] Chinese patent document with publication number CN110398317A and publication date November 1, 2019 discloses a device and method for measuring the deviation between the center of gravity and the thrust line of a UAV. The device for measuring the deviation between the center of gravity and the thrust line of the UAV includes a cable for hanging the UAV; a thrust line measuring cylinder placed on the UAV, one end of the cable passes through the thrust line measuring cylinder and is connected to the UAV; and a deviation measuring seat connected to the measuring end of the thrust line measuring cylinder, the other end of the cable passes through the deviation measuring seat and is connected to a lifting device, and the deviation measuring seat is used to measure the deviation between the center of gravity and the thrust line of the UAV.

[0006] The device and method for measuring the deviation between the center of gravity and the thrust line of the UAV disclosed in this patent document solve the problems of difficult manual measurement and large measurement errors during the hanging process of the UAV. However, since the errors are not comprehensively analyzed and processed, the launch safety is not satisfactory. Summary of the Invention
