[0027] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, some software, components, models and other industry existing solutions may be mentioned, which should be considered as exemplary, and the purpose is only to illustrate the feasibility of the implementation of the technical solutions of the present application, but does not mean that the applicant has or will necessarily use the solution.

[0028] To solve the problems in the foregoing related technologies, the embodiments of the present application provide a cross-medium vehicle, an airspeed pipe drainage method of the cross-medium vehicle, and a product thereof, wherein the product of the cross-medium vehicle comprises an airspeed pipe drainage device of the cross-medium vehicle, an electronic device, a computer readable storage medium, and a computer program product.

[0029] The cross-medium vehicle provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the specific embodiments. Figure 1 The cross-medium vehicle provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the specific embodiments.

[0030] Figure 1 The structure of the cross-medium vehicle provided by some embodiments of the present application is shown. As shown in FIG. 1, the cross-medium vehicle comprises an airspeed pipe drainage device, an electronic device, a computer readable storage medium, and a computer program product. Figure 1As shown, the cross-medium vehicle 100 comprises an airspeed tube 110 and an airspeed tube drainage system 120, which comprises a detection module 1201 and a drainage module 1202. The detection module 1201 is configured to detect the first tube internal relative humidity or the first tube internal water pressure in the airspeed tube 110 when the cross-medium vehicle is in a water surface working condition or an air working condition. The drainage module 1202 is configured to deliver gas into the airspeed tube 110 to drain the water in the airspeed tube 110 when the first tube internal relative humidity is greater than or equal to a first preset relative humidity threshold or the first tube internal water pressure is greater than or equal to a first preset tube internal water pressure threshold.

[0031] The airspeed tube 110, also known as a Pitot tube, is a device for measuring the flow rate of a fluid such as air, which calculates the speed by sensing the dynamic pressure and static pressure of the fluid. When the cross-medium vehicle performs a control task, the airspeed tube can reflect the flight speed of the cross-medium vehicle, and is also related to flight parameters such as angle of attack and side slip angle. The water surface working condition refers to the state in which the cross-medium vehicle runs in the water surface area, and part or all of the fuselage is in contact with water. The air working condition refers to the state in which the cross-medium vehicle completely separates from the water surface and flies in the air. The first tube internal relative humidity refers to the percentage of the actual content of water vapor in the air in the airspeed tube to the saturated water vapor content at the same temperature, which is used to measure the humidity of the air in the tube. The first tube internal water pressure refers to the pressure generated by the fluid such as water in the airspeed tube on the tube wall, which is used to reflect the pressure state of the water in the tube.

[0032] Exemplarily, the first preset relative humidity threshold and the first preset tube internal water pressure threshold can be the drainage triggering conditions of the drainage module set by the user through experience or experiment, which are not specifically limited here. Exemplarily, the first preset relative humidity threshold can be 95%, and the first preset tube internal water pressure threshold can be 0.1 MPa.

[0033] Therefore, when the operating condition of the cross-media vehicle is determined to be a surface condition or an air condition, it indicates that the cross-media vehicle has met the prerequisite triggering condition for the drainage operation. At this time, the first in-tube relative humidity or the first in-tube water pressure in the pitot tube detected by the detection module is obtained to determine whether there is a risk of water accumulation in the pitot tube. When it is determined that the first in-tube relative humidity is greater than or equal to the first preset relative humidity threshold or the first in-tube water pressure is greater than or equal to the first preset in-tube water pressure threshold, it indicates that there is water accumulation in the pitot tube, affecting the measurement accuracy of the pitot tube, and also proves that the current state of the pitot tube meets the triggering condition for the execution of the drainage operation. At this time, the drainage module immediately responds and delivers gas into the pitot tube. Through the delivery of gas, the accumulated water is effectively drained, avoiding the interference of the accumulated water on the measured fluid pressure, so that the measured fluid pressure can truly reflect the actual situation of the current medium. Since the fluid pressure can be accurately measured, the airspeed of the cross-media vehicle can be more accurately calculated, providing reliable data support for the navigation control of the cross-media vehicle and improving the navigation control accuracy of the cross-media vehicle.

[0034] The drainage module is used to drain accumulated water from the pitot tube to the outside of the pitot tube. In some embodiments of the present application, the drainage module includes an air source and a sealing member. The air source is used to generate gas; the sealing member is connected to the exhaust end of the air source and has an open position and a closed position for opening and closing the exhaust end of the air source.

[0035] The gas source refers to a device or system used to generate and provide gas, and is the power source of the drainage module. For example, the gas source can be an air pump. It is understood that air pumps are compact yet powerful, able to operate efficiently within a confined space, generate strong suction, and provide power support for the drainage process. The blocking piece refers to a movable component installed at the exhaust end of the gas source, which can be opened or closed by switching its position.

[0036] In this way, by switching the blocking member between the open position and the closed position, the supply or cutoff of gas between the gas source and the pitot tube is achieved, thereby achieving drainage control of the water accumulated in the pitot tube.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, the cross-media vehicle includes a controller, and the sealing member includes a valve structure, which is a device for controlling the flow of gas. Specifically, the sealing member can be a controllable valve structure that can be driven by mechanical, electromagnetic, or pneumatic means to open or close the exhaust end of the gas source, thereby controlling the on-off of gas generated by the gas source. For example, the sealing member can use a normally closed solenoid valve. When the controller receives a control signal to the solenoid valve, the solenoid valve will open, thereby achieving precise control of the on-off of the drainage pipeline, thereby ensuring the sealing of the drainage pipeline and effectively preventing unnecessary leakage.

[0038] Furthermore, the pitot tube drainage system also includes an air source drive circuit and a valve structure drive circuit, wherein the air source drive circuit is connected to the controller and the air source, and the air source drive circuit is used to receive the air source control signal sent by the controller, and control the opening and closing of the air source according to the air source control signal; the valve structure drive circuit is connected to the controller and the valve structure, and the valve structure drive circuit is used to receive the valve structure control signal sent by the controller, and control the valve structure to switch between the open position and the closed position according to the valve structure control signal.

[0039] The gas source drive circuit connects the controller to the gas source, transmitting and executing the controller's control commands to the gas source, enabling on-off control of the gas source. The valve structure drive circuit connects the controller to the valve structure, receiving controller commands and converting them into signals that drive the valve structure. This controls the valve structure's switching between open and closed positions, ensuring that the gas generated by the gas source is delivered to the pitot tube as required.

[0040] For example, the air source drive circuit, i.e., the air pump drive circuit, may utilize an H-bridge motor driver integrated circuit (IC) that receives pulse-width modulation signals from a controller to implement closed-loop control of the air pump speed. For example, the air source drive circuit controls the operation and stopping of the air pump motor by adjusting the output current or voltage and switching on and off.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, a proportional-integral-differential (PID) negative pressure closed-loop control algorithm may be used to adjust the air pump speed to achieve precise control of the air pump operating parameters.

[0042] The valve structure drive circuit is connected to the controller, receives valve structure control signals, identifies the specific content of the valve structure control signals (e.g., whether to open or close the valve structure), and converts them into a specific electrical signal suitable for driving the valve structure. For a solenoid valve structure, when receiving a control signal to open the valve structure, the valve structure drive circuit provides an appropriate current to the solenoid coil, generating an electromagnetic force that attracts the valve core, overcoming the spring force and moving the valve structure from the closed position to the open position, thereby opening the exhaust passage. When receiving a control signal to close the valve structure, the valve structure drive circuit cuts off the current to the solenoid coil, causing the spring force to move the valve structure from the open position to the closed position, thereby closing the exhaust passage.

[0043] As a result, the air source drive circuit and the valve structure drive circuit can execute the instructions of the controller to achieve precise control of the air source and the valve structure, so that the pitot tube drainage system can start drainage when the pitot tube meets the preset drainage conditions or stop drainage when the pitot tube does not meet the preset drainage conditions according to actual needs, effectively improving the drainage efficiency of the pitot tube drainage system, and thereby improving the navigation control accuracy of the cross-media vehicle.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, the detection module includes a pressure sensor, a humidity sensor, and a depth sensor. The pressure sensor is disposed within the pitot tube and is used to detect the water pressure within the first tube of the pitot tube. The humidity sensor is disposed within the pitot tube and is in direct contact with the water within the tube and is used to detect the relative humidity within the first tube of the pitot tube. The depth sensor is disposed at the bottom of the cross-medium vehicle and is used to detect the navigation depth of the cross-medium vehicle. The navigation depth represents the vertical distance from the bottom of the cross-medium vehicle to the water surface.

[0045] The humidity sensor is used to detect the relative humidity inside the pitot tube to determine the water accumulation status. It is installed at the elbow at the end of the pitot tube to determine humidity changes within the pitot tube. The pressure sensor is used to measure the water pressure at the bottom of the pitot tube. This pressure sensor is installed near the top of the drain outlet to obtain water pressure information reflecting the amount of water accumulation and drainage effectiveness. The depth sensor is installed at the lowest point of the cross-media vehicle bottom to measure the cross-media vehicle's navigation depth, and then, combined with the cross-media vehicle's fuselage height, to determine the cross-media vehicle's operating condition.

[0046] For example, the specific decision logic of the controller for determining the operating condition of the cross-medium vehicle is as follows: When the navigation depth is equal to 0, it indicates that the cross-media vehicle has no contact with the surface of the water body, and the operating condition of the cross-media vehicle is determined to be an aerial condition; when the navigation depth h and the fuselage height d of the cross-media vehicle satisfy the condition of 0<h≤d, it indicates that the cross-media vehicle is partially immersed in water, and the immersion depth is within the height range of the vehicle body, and the operating condition of the cross-media vehicle is determined to be a surface condition; when the navigation depth h is greater than the fuselage height d of the cross-media vehicle, it indicates that the cross-media vehicle is completely immersed in water, and the immersion depth exceeds the height range of the vehicle body, and the operating condition of the vehicle is determined to be an underwater condition.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of drainage modules is set to at least two. The at least two drainage modules include a first drainage module and at least one second drainage module. The first drainage module includes a main air pump and a main solenoid valve. The second drainage module includes a backup air pump and a backup solenoid valve. Correspondingly, the air source drive circuit in the pitot tube drainage system includes a main air source drive circuit corresponding to the main air pump, a main valve structure drive circuit corresponding to the main solenoid valve, a backup air source drive circuit corresponding to the backup air pump, and a backup valve structure drive circuit corresponding to the backup solenoid valve.

[0048] It can be understood that the main air pump, main solenoid valve, main air source drive circuit, and main valve structure drive circuit collectively constitute the primary drainage unit, while the backup air pump, backup solenoid valve, backup air source drive circuit, and backup valve structure drive circuit collectively constitute the backup drainage unit. Under normal operating conditions, the pitot tube drainage system prioritizes the primary drainage unit for drainage operations. However, if the pitot tube drainage system detects an anomaly, such as if the water in the pitot tube has not been completely drained within a preset drainage time period, the controller will immediately trigger the backup mechanism, switching to the backup drainage unit.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned detection module may also include an airspeed meter, an inertial measurement unit and a Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite navigation unit. Among them, the airspeed meter is installed at the front end of the pitot tube and away from the drain outlet of the pitot tube, and is used to measure the airspeed value of the cross-media vehicle. The inertial measurement unit is installed at a position within a preset position range from the center of gravity of the cross-media vehicle and is rigidly fixed with a bracket, thereby accurately sensing the motion state of the cross-media vehicle. The GPS satellite navigation unit is installed on the cover of the cross-media vehicle and kept horizontally placed to ensure that satellite signals can be received in all directions. The inertial measurement unit and the GPS satellite navigation unit jointly obtain the ground speed of the cross-media vehicle through data fusion.

[0050] In this way, the controller can cross-verify the airspeed value measured by the pitot tube by fusing the measurement data of the airspeed meter, inertial measurement unit and GPS satellite navigation unit data, and complete the airspeed self-check.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, the pitot tube drainage system may further include a power management module, which serves as the energy supply and execution control unit for the pitot tube drainage system. The power management module is primarily responsible for power distribution, efficiency optimization, redundancy protection, and energy consumption control. Its operating mechanism is to convert the input power voltage into a stable power supply suitable for the detection module, drainage module, and controller through technologies such as voltage conversion, redundant power supply, and overcurrent protection.

[0052] Based on the cross-medium vehicle provided in the above embodiment, the present application also provides a specific implementation of the pitot tube drainage method of the cross-medium vehicle. Please refer to the following embodiment.

[0053] The pitot tube drainage method for a cross-medium vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the cross-medium vehicle shown in any of the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pitot tube drainage method for a cross-medium vehicle may include steps 210 and 220 .

[0054] Step 210 : When the operating condition of the cross-medium vehicle is a surface condition or an air condition, detecting the first tube relative humidity or the first tube water pressure in the pitot tube.

[0055] In step 220, when the relative humidity in the first tube is greater than or equal to a first preset relative humidity threshold or the water pressure in the first tube is greater than or equal to a first preset water pressure threshold, gas is delivered to the pitot tube through the drainage module to drain the accumulated water in the pitot tube.

[0056] Therefore, when it is determined that the operating condition of the cross-media vehicle is a surface condition or an air condition, it means that the cross-media vehicle has met the prerequisite triggering condition for the drainage action. At this time, the relative humidity in the first tube or the water pressure in the first tube of the pitot tube is detected to determine whether there is a risk of water accumulation in the pitot tube. When it is determined that the relative humidity in the first tube is greater than or equal to the first preset relative humidity threshold or the water pressure in the first tube is greater than or equal to the first preset water pressure threshold, it means that there is water accumulation in the pitot tube, which affects the measurement accuracy of the pitot tube, and also proves that the current state of the pitot tube meets the triggering condition for the execution of the drainage operation. At this time, gas is transported into the pitot tube. Through the transportation of gas, the accumulated water is effectively discharged, avoiding the interference of the accumulated water on the measured fluid pressure, so that the measured fluid pressure can truly reflect the actual situation of the current medium. Since the fluid pressure can be accurately measured, the airspeed of the cross-media vehicle can be more accurately calculated, providing reliable data support for the navigation control of the cross-media vehicle and improving the navigation control accuracy of the cross-media vehicle.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, in order to improve the accuracy of pitot tube drainage, such as Figure 3 As shown, the above pitot tube drainage method may further include step 310 and step 320.

[0058] Step 310: Obtain the navigation depth of the cross-medium vehicle. The navigation depth is used to represent the vertical distance from the bottom of the cross-medium vehicle to the water surface.

[0059] For example, the navigation depth of the cross-medium vehicle may be acquired by the depth sensor shown above.

[0060] Step 320: When the navigation depth is a first preset threshold, the operating condition of the cross-media vehicle is determined to be an air condition; or, when the navigation depth is greater than the first preset threshold and less than or equal to the second preset threshold, the operating condition of the cross-media vehicle is determined to be a surface condition, and the second preset threshold is determined based on the fuselage body height of the cross-media vehicle; or, when the navigation depth is greater than the second preset threshold, the operating condition of the cross-media vehicle is determined to be an underwater condition.

[0061] Exemplarily, the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold can be determined by the user through experimentation or manual experience. For example, the value of the first preset threshold h1 can be 0, and the value of the second preset threshold h2 can be the fuselage height d of the cross-medium vehicle. In this way, the navigation depth h of the cross-medium vehicle is obtained by the depth sensor shown in the above embodiment, and the navigation depth h can be compared with the first preset threshold h1 and the second preset threshold h2. Then, the above step 320 can specifically include: when h = 0, determining that the operating condition of the cross-medium vehicle is an aerial condition; when 0 < h ≤ d, determining that the operating condition of the cross-medium vehicle is a surface condition; when h > d, determining that the operating condition of the cross-medium vehicle is an underwater condition.

[0062] Therefore, through the correlation between the navigation depth and fuselage height of the cross-medium aircraft, a working condition classification standard is established, so that different types of cross-medium aircraft can flexibly set the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold according to their own structural parameters, thereby improving the versatility of the above-mentioned pitot tube drainage method.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, the pitot tube drainage method for a trans-media vehicle may further include: upon determining that the trans-media vehicle's operating condition is airborne, obtaining the trans-media vehicle's altitude change rate within a first time window; and determining the trans-media vehicle's flight phase based on the altitude change rate, which includes a climb phase, a cruise phase, or a descent phase. Cruising and descent phases require extremely high precision in pitot tube pressure measurement, as even minor airflow disturbances may affect the accuracy of pitot tube measurement data. When the drainage module is operating, the injection of compressed air into the pitot tube generates transient pressure fluctuations, potentially leading to abnormal pitot tube measurement data. For example, if the trans-media vehicle's pitot tube drainage system performs drainage during the cruise phase, this may cause a temporary deviation in the airspeed measurement, thereby affecting the trans-media vehicle's flight attitude control. Based on this, step 210 may specifically include: upon determining that the trans-media vehicle's operating condition is surface operation or the climb phase of airborne operation, detecting the first-tube relative humidity or first-tube water pressure within the pitot tube.

[0064] The climb phase refers to the process of a trans-medium vehicle taking off from the water and accelerating toward high altitude. The cruise phase refers to the trans-medium vehicle's sustained flight at a stable altitude. The altitude change rate refers to the amount of altitude change per unit time, reflecting the speed at which the trans-medium vehicle's altitude rises and falls.

[0065] In this way, the pitot tube is only drained during the climb phase under surface conditions or airborne conditions, which can not only accurately deal with the risks caused by water accumulation in the pitot tube, but also ensure the accuracy of the navigation data measured by the airspeed meter of the cross-media vehicle.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned determination of the navigation phase of the cross-media aircraft based on the navigation altitude change rate includes: when the navigation altitude change rate is greater than the first preset navigation altitude change rate threshold, determining that the navigation phase of the cross-media aircraft is the climbing phase; when the navigation altitude change rate is less than the second preset navigation altitude change rate threshold, determining that the navigation phase of the cross-media aircraft is the descending phase; when the navigation altitude change rate is greater than or equal to the second preset navigation altitude change rate threshold, and less than or equal to the first preset navigation altitude change rate threshold, determining that the navigation phase of the cross-media aircraft is the cruising phase.

[0067] The first preset altitude change rate threshold is greater than the second preset altitude change rate threshold. The first preset altitude change rate threshold and the second preset altitude change rate threshold are pre-set altitude change rate thresholds used to determine whether the trans-medium vehicle is in a climbing state. These thresholds can be user-defined empirical values, determined through experiments, or simulations. For example, the first preset altitude change rate threshold can be a positive value, while the second preset altitude change rate threshold can be 0 or a negative value.

[0068] Furthermore, the cross-media aircraft may have small altitude fluctuations during the actual navigation process. In order to reduce the impact of the slight altitude changes caused by the cross-media aircraft during the navigation process on the navigation stage classification of the cross-media aircraft, in some non-limiting embodiments of the present application, the value of the above-mentioned first preset navigation altitude change rate threshold may be +1.667m / s. If the navigation altitude change rate is greater than +1.667m / s, it indicates that the cross-media aircraft is in the climbing stage; the value of the second preset navigation altitude change rate threshold may be -1.667m / s. If the navigation altitude change rate is less than -1.667m / s, it indicates that the cross-media aircraft is in the descending stage; if the navigation altitude change rate is between [-1.667m / s, +1.667m / s], it indicates that the cross-media aircraft is in the cruising stage.

[0069] In one example, the altitude of the trans-medium vehicle can be obtained using an altitude sensor onboard the trans-medium vehicle, and the altitude change rate can be determined by the ratio of the altitude difference within a preset time window to the time interval corresponding to the preset time window. Thus, by quantifying the altitude change rate, the climb, cruise, and descent phases of the trans-medium vehicle can be accurately distinguished, avoiding misjudgment of the trans-medium vehicle's navigation phase. This ensures that the trans-medium vehicle performs pitot drainage during the climb phase of either surface or airborne operation, effectively reducing the impact of the pitot drainage on the trans-medium vehicle's navigation accuracy.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, the first in-tube water pressure includes the in-tube water pressure of the pitot tube in the second time window. Based on this, before step 220, the pitot tube drainage method of the above-mentioned cross-media aircraft may also include: obtaining the reference in-tube water pressure of the pitot tube in the third time window, the occurrence time of the third time window is earlier than the occurrence time of the second time window; determining the pressure change rate in the pitot tube according to the first in-tube water pressure, the reference in-tube water pressure and the first reference time length, and the first reference time length is determined by the second time window and the third time window; based on this, the above-mentioned step 220 may specifically include: when the relative humidity in the first tube is greater than or equal to the first preset relative humidity threshold, transporting gas into the pitot tube through the drainage module to discharge the accumulated water in the pitot tube; or, when the pressure change rate is less than or equal to the preset pressure change rate threshold and the first in-tube water pressure is greater than or equal to the first preset in-tube water pressure threshold, transporting gas into the pitot tube through the drainage module to discharge the accumulated water in the pitot tube.

[0071] The second time window is used to obtain the time interval of the current water pressure data in the pipe. , specifically real-time or near real-time data. The third time window is used to obtain the historical time interval of the water pressure in the reference pipe, such as , which occurs earlier than the second time window, is used as the reference value. The water pressure in the reference tube represents the reference water pressure value of the pitot tube in the third time window. For example, the first reference time can be obtained by Determine that, correspondingly, the water pressure in the reference pipe can be The water pressure in the pipe corresponding to the time. The pressure change rate represents the change in the water pressure in the pipe per unit time. It is used to quantify the pressure fluctuation trend and determine whether the pressure abnormality is caused by water accumulation. It can be calculated by the ratio of the difference between the first water pressure in the pipe and the reference water pressure in the pipe to the first reference time.

[0072] The preset pressure change rate threshold is a critical change rate pre-set by the user through experience, practice or experimentation, and is used to distinguish normal pressure fluctuations from abnormal pressure fluctuations caused by water accumulation. Specifically, the preset pressure change rate threshold can be set to 0.05MPa / s. It is understandable that when the pressure change rate is less than or equal to the preset pressure change rate threshold, it indicates that an abnormal pressure drop may occur in the pitot tube due to water blockage, and the pitot tube drainage triggering condition can be judged based on the water pressure in the first tube. When the pressure change rate is greater than the preset pressure change rate threshold, it indicates that the water pressure in the pitot tube fluctuates drastically in a short period of time, indicating that there are transient pressure fluctuations in the pitot tube caused by cross-medium aircraft maneuvers, that is, external interference. In this way, the pressure signal can be shielded from participating in the judgment of the pitot tube drainage triggering condition to avoid false triggering of the pitot tube drainage operation.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, in order to accurately calculate the pressure change rate, before executing the above-mentioned pressure change rate, the pitot tube drainage method of the above-mentioned cross-medium vehicle may also include: first performing moving average filtering processing on the original pressure signal to suppress high-frequency noise, and then calculating the pressure change rate based on the filtered data.

[0074] Therefore, by filtering the external interference caused by the instantaneous and drastic pressure changes of the cross-media aircraft, the drainage work of the cross-media aircraft can be avoided from being erroneously triggered by non-water accumulation factors such as normal flight attitude changes, thereby effectively improving the accuracy and reliability of the drainage work of the pitot tube drainage system.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, the pitot tube drainage method of the above-mentioned cross-media aircraft may also include: obtaining the tube ambient temperature in the pitot tube; obtaining the reference humidity compensation threshold associated with the tube ambient temperature based on the correlation between the reference temperature and the reference humidity compensation threshold; determining the compensated relative humidity in the first tube based on the reference humidity compensation threshold and the relative humidity in the first tube; based on this, the above-mentioned step 220 may specifically include: when the compensated relative humidity in the first tube is greater than or equal to the first preset relative humidity threshold, transporting gas into the pitot tube through the drainage module to discharge the accumulated water in the pitot tube.

[0076] The "in-tube ambient temperature" refers to the real-time temperature inside the pitot tube. The in-tube ambient temperature affects the saturated vapor pressure of water vapor, which in turn affects the accuracy of the relative humidity measurement inside the tube. For example, the in-tube ambient temperature of the pitot tube can be measured by a temperature sensor disposed inside the pitot tube. The "reference temperature" refers to a pre-set reference temperature value used to represent the reference for the humidity compensation threshold. The "reference humidity compensation threshold" refers to a compensation threshold associated with the reference temperature for humidity compensation, which is dynamically adjusted with temperature changes. The compensated first in-tube relative humidity refers to the relative humidity value corrected by the temperature compensation algorithm, eliminating the effect of temperature on the humidity measurement result.

[0077] For example, a reference humidity compensation threshold value associated with the ambient temperature within the pipe may be pre-established.

[0078] Relative humidity RH in the first tube after compensation 补偿 It can be expressed by the following formula (1): RH 补偿 =RH 阈值 +k(T-T0)……(1) Where RH 阈值 Indicates the reference humidity compensation threshold, which can be 95%, k=0.2% / ℃, T0=25%, and T represents the ambient temperature inside the tube.

[0079] Therefore, the reference humidity compensation threshold associated with the ambient temperature in the tube is determined by the correlation between the reference temperature and the reference humidity compensation threshold, and the relative humidity in the first tube is temperature compensated based on the reference humidity compensation threshold. The triggering condition of the pitot tube drainage operation is judged based on the compensated relative humidity in the first tube, thereby effectively avoiding the misjudgment of the drainage operation triggering condition due to the interference of temperature changes, thereby effectively improving the accuracy and reliability of the pitot tube drainage system in performing the drainage operation.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, after the above step 220, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the pitot tube drainage method for a cross-medium vehicle may further include steps 410 to 440 .

[0081] Step 410, when the relative humidity in the first tube is less than or equal to the second preset relative humidity threshold and the water pressure in the first tube is less than or equal to the second preset water pressure threshold, obtain the ground speed, ambient wind speed and airspeed detected by the pitot tube of the cross-medium aircraft, the second preset relative humidity threshold is less than the first preset relative humidity threshold, and the second preset water pressure threshold in the tube is less than the first preset water pressure threshold.

[0082] Among them, ground speed refers to the actual speed of the cross-media vehicle relative to the earth's surface, reflecting the absolute motion state of the cross-media vehicle in the ground reference system; ground speed refers to the fusion processing of data collected by the inertial navigation unit of the cross-media vehicle and the GPS satellite navigation unit, specifically, the high-pass filtering of the high-frequency signal of the inertial navigation unit and the low-pass filtering of the GPS low-frequency signal, and the superposition of the two to obtain the three-dimensional velocity vector (V x , V y , V z ), thus we get V 地速 =(V x 2 +V y 2 +V z 2 ) 1 / 2 Ambient wind speed refers to the air velocity in the environment of the trans-medium vehicle, including wind speed and direction. Ambient wind speed can be measured in real time using an anemometer mounted on the top or mast of the vehicle. Airspeed refers to the speed of the trans-medium vehicle relative to the surrounding air and is a parameter measured by a pitot tube.

[0083] Exemplarily, after step 220, that is, when the drainage module completes drainage and the detection module feeds back that the relative humidity in the first tube is ≤ the second preset relative humidity threshold, such as 60%, and the water pressure in the first tube is ≤ the second preset water pressure threshold, such as 0.02 MPa, it indicates that the accumulated water in the pitot tube has been basically drained, and the airspeed data self-check process begins.

[0084] Step 420: Determine whether the airspeed detected by the pitot tube is abnormal based on the ground speed, airspeed, and ambient wind speed.

[0085] For example, the deviation rate between the measured airspeed and the calculated airspeed can be calculated by the following formula (2): V: …… (2) The above formula (2) is used to calculate Compare V with the preset deviation rate to determine whether the airspeed detected by the pitot tube is abnormal. If the preset deviation rate is 5%, When V is greater than 5%, it is determined that the airspeed detected by the pitot tube is abnormal; When V is less than or equal to 5%, it is determined that the airspeed detected by the pitot tube is normal.

[0086] Step 430 : When it is determined that the airspeed detected by the pitot tube is abnormal, the operating condition of the cross-medium aircraft is determined.

[0087] Step 440, when the operating condition of the cross-medium vehicle is a surface condition or an air condition, detect the relative humidity in the first tube or the water pressure in the first tube of the pitot tube until a preset self-test termination condition is met, and then stop determining the operating condition of the cross-medium vehicle; wherein the preset self-test termination condition includes at least one of the following: determining that the airspeed detected by the pitot tube is normal, and executing the step of detecting whether the airspeed detected by the pitot tube is abnormal a number of times greater than or equal to a preset number threshold.

[0088] For example, if the airspeed detected by the pitot tube is abnormal and the aircraft is in a surface condition or an airborne condition, the detection module is restarted to monitor the relative humidity or water pressure in the first tube in real time to determine whether the preset drainage conditions are met. After each test, step 420 is repeated until any of the following termination conditions are met: Normal airspeed: When the deviation rate between the measured airspeed and the calculated airspeed is less than or equal to the preset deviation rate, it indicates that the water in the pitot tube has been completely drained; Detection times exceed the limit: If the preset maximum detection times is 3, the self-test will be terminated after reaching the limit to reduce energy consumption.

[0089] Therefore, through cross-validation of multi-source data, namely ground speed, ambient wind speed and airspeed, the pitot tube drainage results can be verified, thereby improving the accuracy of pitot tube detection; the cyclic self-check mechanism can further remove residual small water droplets or condensed water that has not been completely drained from the pitot tube, reducing continuous false alarms caused by occasional water accumulation.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present application, the drainage module includes a first drainage module and at least one second drainage module. Based on this, Figure 5 As shown, the above step 220 may specifically include steps 2201 to 2203.

[0091] In step 2201, when the relative humidity in the first tube is greater than or equal to a first preset relative humidity threshold or the water pressure in the first tube is greater than or equal to a first preset tube water pressure threshold, gas is transported into the pitot tube through the first drainage module to drain the accumulated water in the pitot tube.

[0092] Exemplarily, the first drainage module includes a main solenoid valve and a main air pump. When the first drainage module is activated, the main solenoid valve receives a 12V pulse signal with a pulse width of 100ms, opening the passageway. 0.5 seconds after the main solenoid valve is opened, the power driver module outputs 24V to the main air pump, accelerating the main air pump motor and beginning to pump air from the pipeline. When the pressure inside the pitot tube drops to the target value of -0.05MPa, a pressure differential of 0.15MPa is created with the external ambient pressure of approximately 0.1MPa, pushing accumulated water toward the pitot tube's drain outlet. During operation, the pressure sensor continuously provides feedback on the actual negative pressure inside the pitot tube, while a humidity sensor monitors drainage progress in real time, using the rate of decrease in relative humidity as a metric. The control module dynamically adjusts the pulse width modulation (PWM) duty cycle of the main air pump based on a PID negative pressure closed-loop control algorithm. If the actual negative pressure value is higher than the preset target negative pressure value, the control module will increase the PWM duty cycle to 80% to enhance the working intensity of the air pump, increase the suction force, and further reduce the negative pressure in the pitot tube; if the actual negative pressure value is lower than the preset target negative pressure value, the control module will reduce the PWM duty cycle to 40%, slow down the working rhythm of the air pump, reduce the suction intensity, and make the negative pressure in the pitot tube return to the target range, thereby realizing precise closed-loop control of the drainage process of the first drainage module.

[0093] Step 2202: Detect the relative humidity or water pressure in the second tube of the pitot tube at a reference time; wherein the reference time is later than the start time of delivering gas to the pitot tube through the drainage module, and the time between the reference time and the start time is a preset time.

[0094] The reference time is the time after a preset duration, such as 5 seconds, has passed since the first drainage module was activated, and is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the first drainage. The preset duration is greater than a complete air supply cycle of the first drainage module, such as the time interval from turning the first drainage module on to turning it off.

[0095] In step 2203, when the relative humidity in the second tube is greater than a third preset relative humidity threshold and / or the water pressure in the second tube does not meet the preset tube water pressure range, gas is transported into the pitot tube through the second drainage module to drain the accumulated water in the pitot tube.

[0096] The third preset relative humidity threshold determines whether to initiate the second drain after the first drain. It's typically lower than the first preset relative humidity threshold, for example, if the first relative humidity threshold is 95%, the third relative humidity threshold is 60%. The preset in-pipe water pressure range refers to the normal water pressure range of the pitot tube when there's no water accumulation, such as 0.1MPa+5% to 0.1MPa-5%. Exceeding this range indicates residual water or airflow anomalies.

[0097] It is understandable that if the pitot tube drainage target is not completed within the preset time, the second drainage module backup mechanism is triggered and the pitot tube drainage is performed through the second drainage module.

[0098] Therefore, through the graded drainage mechanism, the drainage efficiency and energy consumption control are taken into account, and the efficiency of removing water accumulated in the pitot tube is improved.
