[0033] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 This application will be further elaborated upon.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a structural block diagram of a drone landing pad provided in one embodiment of this application. The drone landing pad includes:

[0035] The helipad itself;

[0036] The landing detection module is located within the landing pad itself and is used to detect the landing of drones and generate detection information.

[0037] The control module is located within the helipad itself and is connected to the shutdown detection module. It is used to perform shutdown analysis based on the detection information and generate instruction control information.

[0038] The communication module, located within the helipad itself, is connected to the control module and is used to send instruction and control information to the helipad control center, which is connected to the UAV helipad.

[0039] The shutdown indication module is located outside the helipad body and is connected to the control module. It is used to indicate shutdown based on the indication control information.

[0040] In this embodiment, the helipad body refers to the platform structure for drone take-off and landing. The side of the helipad body used for drone take-off and landing can be equipped with a flat panel, for example, a 50cm x 50cm panel, on which the drone lands. The main modules for detecting drone landing are installed under the panel inside the helipad body, including a landing detection module, a control module, and a communication module.

[0041] Understandably, the landing detection module is used to detect the drone's landing and is installed inside the landing pad itself. The landing pad can be transparent or opaque. Therefore, the landing detection module can detect the drone's landing by using a pressure sensor to detect pressure changes caused by the drone's weight; it can also detect the drone's landing by using an infrared sensor to detect the drone's blocking of infrared light during landing; it can also measure the distance between the drone and the landing pad surface using ultrasonic sensors to determine whether the drone has landed; or it can detect changes in light using optical sensors to determine whether the drone has landed in a designated area; additionally, if the drone is equipped with an RFID tag, the landing detection module can confirm the drone's landing by reading the tag.

[0042] Based on this, the landing detection module detects the drone's landing and generates detection information. This information can include specific data actually detected by the landing detection module, such as pressure change data corresponding to the pressure sensor, infrared change data corresponding to the infrared sensor, distance change data corresponding to the ultrasonic sensor, light change data corresponding to the optical sensor, and tag reading data corresponding to the RFID reader / writer sensor. Therefore, the detection information represents the detailed detection process of the landing detection module. The control module can accurately determine whether the drone has landed successfully by analyzing the detection data, thereby improving the success rate of the helipad's judgment on drone landing.

[0043] Understandably, the control module is connected to the shutdown detection module. The control module can be a microcontroller, digital signal processor, programmable logic controller, etc. Therefore, the control module can execute programming instructions, process and analyze data, and control various operations on the helipad. After generating detection information, the shutdown detection module sends it to the control module, which analyzes the detection information to determine the landing of the UAV. In other words, the control module performs shutdown analysis based on the detection information.

[0044] The control module's shutdown analysis can include determining whether the drone successfully landed, the cumulative number of landings, landing time, landing location, and landing speed. Determining a successful landing involves comparing detected information with preset reference information. For example, if the detected information is pressure change data from a corresponding pressure sensor, it can be compared with a preset pressure change range to determine if the drone landed successfully. The cumulative number of landings can be counted each time detected information is received, or it can be counted each time a successful landing is determined. Landing time can be determined by analyzing the timestamps in the detected information to calculate the duration from the start of descent to complete stop. Landing location can be determined by analyzing the deviation between the landing location and the predetermined landing pad location. Landing speed can be determined by analyzing the rate of change of relevant detected data in the detected information.

[0045] Based on this, the control module generates instruction control information according to the results of the shutdown analysis. This instruction control information is used to control the shutdown instruction module, specifically to control it to issue corresponding shutdown instructions. It can be understood that the shutdown analysis performed by the control module can be of various types, and correspondingly, the instruction control information can also have various types of instruction control, and the shutdown instruction module can also have various types of shutdown instructions. For example, if the shutdown analysis determines that the drone has successfully landed, the corresponding instruction control information is used to control the shutdown instruction module to issue a successful landing instruction, and the shutdown instruction module will issue a successful landing instruction based on this information. Alternatively, if the shutdown analysis determines the number of drone landings, the corresponding instruction control information is used to control the shutdown instruction module to issue an instruction on the number of landings, and the shutdown instruction module will issue an instruction on the number of landings based on this information. The system includes the following functions: 1. **Stop Analysis:** This function determines the drone's landing time. Correspondingly, the control information is used to control the stop indicator module to indicate the landing time, and the stop indicator module indicates the landing time based on this control information. 2. **Stop Analysis:** This function determines the drone's landing position. Correspondingly, the control information is used to control the stop indicator module to indicate the landing position, and the stop indicator module indicates the landing position based on this control information. 3. **Stop Analysis:** This function determines the drone's landing speed. Correspondingly, the control information is used to control the stop indicator module to indicate the landing speed, and the stop indicator module indicates the landing speed based on this control information. Furthermore, stop analysis can include multiple analyses simultaneously, and correspondingly, the control information includes information to control the stop indicator module to provide multiple indications, and the stop indicator module provides multiple indications based on this control information.

[0046] Therefore, the landing indication module can include various indication units. For example, it can include a light indicator unit to indicate a successful drone landing, or to indicate the number of landings using different colored lights, where different colors represent different numbers (e.g., red for one landing, orange for two, yellow for three). When the light indicator unit includes multiple bulbs, it can also display numbers by controlling the lighting of bulbs at different positions, thus indicating the number of drone landings, landing time, landing speed, etc. It can also indicate the drone's landing position by controlling the lighting of bulbs at the corresponding landing position. The landing indication module can also include an LED screen to directly indicate the number of drone landings, landing time, landing speed, etc.

[0047] It should be noted that the shutdown indicator module is located outside the helipad body to facilitate observation of the shutdown indicator.

[0048] The communication module is also located within the helipad itself and communicates with the control module. When the control module sends instruction control information to the helipad indication module, it can simultaneously send instruction control information to the helipad control center, which is connected to the drone helipad, via the communication module. The helipad control center is the management terminal that manages and controls the drone helipad. One helipad control center can correspond to one drone helipad or multiple drone helipads. After receiving the instruction control information, the helipad control center can analyze it to determine the usage of the drone helipad. For example, if the instruction control information includes a successful landing indication to control the helipad indication module, the helipad control center can obtain information that a drone has successfully landed. Staff do not need to observe the drone helipad themselves but can obtain this information directly from the helipad control center. Furthermore, when one helipad control center corresponds to multiple drone helipads, staff can determine which helipad has successfully landed through the helipad control center, greatly improving observation efficiency.

[0049] The communication module can communicate via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, LoRa, Sigfox, etc.

[0050] Understandably, a drone landing pad can be configured to allow one drone to land and take off, or it can be configured to allow multiple drones to land and take off.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, the control module sends information to the landing pad control center and receives information sent by the landing pad control center through the communication module.

[0052] In this embodiment, the control module can send information to the helipad control center via the communication module, including instruction control information and other information. For example, when more temperature, humidity, and other sensors are installed on the drone helipad, the control module can send the monitoring data of these sensors to the helipad control center via the communication module; when the drone helipad can obtain the drone's identification code and other relevant information through RFID tags, the control module can send the drone's relevant information to the helipad control center via the communication module; in addition, the control module can also periodically send the drone helipad's work log to the helipad control center via the communication module, and send fault alarm information to the helipad control center when a malfunction occurs on the drone helipad, etc.

[0053] The control module also receives information from the helipad control center via the communication module. For example, when the drone helipad can obtain the drone's identification code and other relevant information through RFID tags, the helipad control center can send the flight mission information to the control module simultaneously when sending the flight mission to the drone, so that the control module can understand the drone's flight plan. When more temperature, humidity, and other sensors are installed on the drone helipad, the helipad control center can send a request for the drone's current status to the control module via the communication module. The helipad control center can also send special control commands to the control module via the communication module, such as stop instructions. The helipad control center can also send software or firmware update packages to the control module via the communication module.

[0054] Therefore, based on the communication module, the drone landing pad and the landing pad control center can communicate bidirectionally.

[0055] In one embodiment, the communication module is a WIFI radio frequency communication module, referencing... Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is the circuit schematic of the communication module. In the diagram, U2 and peripheral components form a WIFI circuit, J2 is the program download port, and C7, C8, L2, R17, and L1 are the antenna matching circuits, which communicate with the control module through the serial port.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, the control module is also used to network with the landing pad control center and the drone through the communication module, so as to realize the communication connection between the drone landing pad, the landing pad control center and the drone.

[0057] In this embodiment, the control module is also used to network with the helipad control center and the drone based on the communication module. For example, when the communication modules of the drone helipad, the helipad control center, and the drone can all communicate via WIFI, the control module can network with the helipad control center and the drone through the communication module. Based on this, communication connections can be established between the drone helipad, the helipad control center, and the drone to enable more information exchange and control between the drone helipad, the helipad control center, and the drone. For example, the drone can transmit its position, speed, battery status, flight mode, and other information to the helipad control center in real time; the helipad control center can monitor the environmental conditions of the helipad, such as temperature, humidity, and light intensity. The control center sends this information to the drone. Based on the drone's mission requirements, battery status, and the availability of the helipad, the control center can automatically schedule the drone for takeoff or landing. The drone can receive the scheduling instructions and automatically navigate to the designated helipad. The control center can send flight missions to the drone, including flight paths and mission types (such as photography, patrol, delivery, etc.). After completing the mission, the drone can automatically return to the helipad and report its completion status via the communication module. When the drone lands on the helipad, the helipad can automatically detect the drone's battery status and send charging instructions to both the drone and the control center. Before landing on the helipad, the drone needs to authenticate itself via the communication module to ensure that only authorized drones can use the helipad.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, the control module is also used to obtain drone landing reference information through the communication module, and to perform a shutdown analysis based on the drone landing reference information and detection information to generate instruction control information.

[0059] In this embodiment, the control module can obtain UAV landing reference information through the communication module, that is, the helipad control center sends UAV landing reference information to the control module through the communication module;

[0060] Drone landing reference information refers to the reference information used to determine whether a drone has landed successfully. By combining the drone landing reference information and detection information for shutdown analysis, it is possible to determine whether the drone has landed successfully, thereby generating corresponding instruction control information to control the shutdown indication module to indicate a successful landing. For example, when the shutdown detection module is a weighing pressure sensor, and the drone landing reference information is a weight value range, the weighing pressure sensor detects the weight value on the landing pad in real time, obtains detection information, and transmits the detection information to the control module. The control module determines whether the drone has landed successfully by comparing the detected information with the drone landing reference information. If the weight value of the detected information is within the weight value range of the drone landing reference information, it means that the drone has landed successfully. At this time, the control module can control the shutdown indication module to give the corresponding shutdown instruction, such as lighting up the light strip around the landing pad; if the weight value of the detected information is outside the weight value range of the drone landing reference information, the light strip around the landing pad can be turned off.

[0061] In one embodiment, the UAV landing reference information can be directly input into the control module for reference. Figure 3 , Figure 3 The diagram shows the circuit schematic of the control module. In the diagram, the control module is a microcontroller system. U1 and peripheral components form a microcontroller mini-system. J1 is the program download port, through which the UAV landing reference information can be directly input into the control module.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, the control module is further configured to count the landing of drones based on detection information, generate landing count information, and perform shutdown analysis based on the landing count information, drone landing reference information, and detection information to generate instruction control information.

[0063] In this embodiment, the control module is also used to count the number of times the drone successfully lands on the helipad based on the detection information, thereby obtaining landing count information.

[0064] Subsequently, the control module performs a shutdown analysis based on the landing count information, UAV landing reference information, and detection information to determine the number of times the UAV has successfully landed on the helipad. It can be understood that the control module can first determine whether the UAV has successfully landed based on the UAV landing reference information and detection information. Once a successful landing is determined, the UAV landing count is then performed to obtain the number of successful landings. Therefore, the instruction control information generated by the control module based on the landing count information, UAV landing reference information, and detection information includes not only information for controlling the shutdown instruction module to indicate a successful landing, but also information for controlling the shutdown instruction module to indicate the number of landings. The shutdown instruction module simultaneously indicates both successful landings and the number of landings based on the instruction control information.

[0065] Furthermore, when the stop indication module provides different indications simultaneously based on the indication control information, it can combine multiple indications into one. For example, the stop indication module can indicate a successful landing by illuminating a light, and not illuminate when the landing is unsuccessful. The stop indication module can also indicate the number of landings by illuminating different colored lights, where red represents one landing, orange represents two landings, and yellow represents three landings. Based on this, when the stop indication module needs to indicate both a successful landing and the number of landings simultaneously based on the indication control information, it can simply illuminate the lights, using the color of the lights to simultaneously indicate both a successful landing and the number of landings.

[0066] In some embodiments of this application, the drone landing pad includes a parking indicator module, which is used to illuminate in different colors according to the control information.

[0067] In this embodiment, the stop indication module includes a stop indicator light, which can be an RGB light strip capable of illuminating multiple colors. Thus, when the indication control information indicates different instructions, the stop indicator light can illuminate in different colors according to the indication control information, thereby realizing more indication functions of the helipad.

[0068] In one embodiment, the UAV landing reference information can be directly input into the control module for reference. Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is the circuit diagram of the stop indication module. In the diagram, LED1-LED5 are RGB light strips that surround the helipad, and all LED1-LED5 are RGB full-color. The control module can output indication control information to control the on / off state and the color of the RGB light strips. The indication control information can be a PWM signal.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, the control module is also used to receive drone departure information sent by the landing pad control center through the communication module, and switch the detection state according to the drone departure information and detection information.

[0070] In this embodiment, the helipad control center can record information such as the successful landing count of the UAV based on the instruction control information, and can also send flight mission information to the UAV to make the UAV fly away from the helipad.

[0071] While the helipad control center sends flight mission information to the UAV, it can also simultaneously send UAV departure information to the control module. This departure information includes the specific time the UAV left the helipad. Therefore, the control module receives the departure information from the helipad control center via the communication module and can determine the departure time. Based on this information, the control module can ascertain the UAV's departure status and, based on the detection information, determine that the current helipad detection module has not detected the UAV on the helipad. Combining these two pieces of information, the control module can determine that the UAV has left the helipad. At this point, the control module can switch detection states, accurately restoring the weight value to when there are no UAVs on the helipad, facilitating the next UAV helipad detection.

[0072] In some embodiments of this application, the drone landing pad includes a landing detection module that includes a gravity sensor for detecting the landing of the drone.

[0073] In this embodiment, the mechanism used in the shutdown detection module to actually perform shutdown detection is a gravity sensor. The gravity sensor detects weight values ​​to determine if a drone has landed. It is understood that the gravity sensor, by detecting weight values, is more accurate than a pressure sensor in determining whether a drone has landed.

[0074] In some embodiments of this application, the drone landing pad provided includes a landing detection module that further includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADC is connected to a gravity sensor and is used to generate detection information based on the detection data from the gravity sensor.

[0075] In this embodiment, the shutdown detection module also includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), which is connected to a gravity sensor. The gravity sensor detects and obtains weight data in real time, and the weight data output by the gravity sensor is an analog quantity. After receiving the analog weight data, the ADC converts it into a digital signal. Therefore, the detection information is weight data in digital form.

[0076] In one embodiment, the UAV landing reference information can be directly input into the control module for reference. Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is the circuit schematic of the analog-to-digital converter of the shutdown detection module. In the diagram, HX711 is the analog-to-digital converter. HX711 is a high-precision 24-bit analog-to-digital (A / D) converter chip, and J1 is connected to the gravity sensor.

[0077] The drone landing pads provided in some embodiments of this application also include a battery module for supplying power to the drone landing pad.

[0078] In this embodiment, the drone landing pad also includes a battery module, which is used to power the entire drone landing pad. Therefore, the drone landing pad can be a wireless device.

[0079] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is the circuit diagram of the battery module. In the diagram, J3 is connected to the battery, and U4 is an LDO chip used to output 3.3V voltage to power the entire drone landing pad.

[0080] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application.
