Automatic deploying and retracting line apparatus 40 stops take-up after unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10 lands.While whereabouts to make unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10 slow down,
Guarantee its pick-up point in visual controllable range.
The dropping process of lower unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10 of the invention in the event of a failure is described in detail below.
Referring to Fig. 3, it is assumed that when unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10 compels to drop to ground using parachute assembly 20, what is be not retracted is
The length for staying cable 30 is L, and the distance of pick-up point to the landing platform 50 of unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10 is D, right due to being tethered at cable 30
The scope of activities of unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10 has certain limitation, so D < L, that is, the pick-up point of unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10 is with landing
Centered on platform 50, in circular scope of the radius less than L.Therefore L is solved, can estimate the landing position of unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10.
During unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10 is by the forced landing of landing-gear umbrella, need to undergo three motion processes: freely falling body
Movement, retarded motion and uniform motion.According to test data, when unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10 is force-landed using parachute assembly 20, from nothing
Man-machine platform 10 breaks down to the time t of the fully open needs of parachute assembly 201=2s, unmanned aerial vehicle platform during this
10, which fall, is similar to the movement of falling object, decrease speed V1With falling head H1It can ask:
V1=gt1
After parachute assembly 20 fully opens, unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10 enters retarded motion process.According to experimental data, lead to
Often reach at the uniform velocity by 3s time unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10.Therefore during retarded motion, it is known that t2=3s.By hindering air
Power integral, available rate equation under the conditions of air drag.According to air drag formula:
Wherein, C is coefficient of air resistance, which is usually experiment value;ρ is atmospheric density, and normal dry air can use 1.293kg/
m2;S is the front face area of parachute assembly 20;V is the relative velocity of unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10 and air.Assuming that air is motionless, then
The relative velocity V of unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10 and air is the falling speed v of unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10, be can be obtained under unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10
The Acceleration Formula fallen are as follows:
The relationship of falling speed and time can be obtained by solving the differential equation:
Then the speed formula in the motion process can also be write as:
Solution
?
The relationship for displacement and the speed of falling:
According to above-mentioned formula it is found that in the retarded motion stage, the height of the whereabouts of unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10Speed when reaching at the uniform velocity
After two processes of the movement of falling object and retarded motion, unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10 enters the process at the uniform velocity to fall,
Falling speed V at this time3=V2, height of drop H3=H-H1-H2, fall time is
It sets safety device and in case of emergency controls the take-up speed of automatic deploying and retracting line apparatus 40 as Vs, then unmanned plane is flat
When platform 10 is from breaking down to falling to ground, what automatic deploying and retracting line apparatus 40 recycled is tethered at 30 length of cable are as follows:
L1=Vs·(t1+t2+t3)
It is then remaining unrecovered to be tethered at 30 length of cable are as follows:
L=H-L1
Bringing above-mentioned formula into can obtain:
L=H-Vs·(t1+t2+t3)
Can be evaluated whether the approximate location of 10 pick-up point of unmanned aerial vehicle platform with above-mentioned formula, for example, when gravity acceleration g=
9.8m/s2, flying height H=300m, the total weight of unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10 and parachute assembly 20 is 40kg, parachute assembly
20 front face area is S=12m2, take-up speed V that safety device starts in failuresIt, can be according to above-mentioned meter when=4.8m/s
Calculation process calculates the landing position of unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10:
V1=gt1=9.8 × 2=19.6 (m/s)
Work as H2When=0, V2=V1=19.6 (m/s), then can acquire C0=6.37, bringing all parameters into formula can obtain:
H3=H-H1-H2=300-19.6-9=271.4 (m)
L1=Vs·(t1+t2+t3)=4.8 × (2+3+54.3)=284.64 (m)
L=H-L1=300-284.64=15.36 (m)
By above-mentioned calculating process it is found that in this case the pick-up point of unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10 centered on landing platform 50,
In the range of radius about 15m.
It can be seen that provided by the invention be tethered at UAV system and its control method, can be sent out in unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10
When raw failure, guarantee that the pick-up point of unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10 in visual controllable range, avoids unmanned aerial vehicle platform 10 from meeting with secondary
Damage, while guaranteeing the safety of pick-up point personnel and property.
