Embodiment 1

[0049] This embodiment discloses a method for power planning in the flight control of a small unmanned helicopter, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0050] S1. Establish a nonlinear model of a small unmanned helicopter: split the helicopter into various components, obtain the dynamic equations of each component, and integrate the force equations of each component to obtain the overall mathematical model of the helicopter, such as formula (1-1) As shown, U=[θ 0 A 1c B 1s θ tr ] T are 4 input control quantities, respectively are the main rotor collective pitch angle θ 0 , main rotor lateral periodic pitch angle A 1c , main rotor longitudinal periodic pitch angle B 1s and the collective pitch angle θ of the tail rotor tr , which are respectively controlled by the PWM control signal δ actually input to the steering gear col , δ lat ,δ lon ,δ tr Control; X=[u v w p q r φ θ ψ a 1 b 1 ] T are 11 state variables, u, v, w are the flight speeds along t...

Embodiment 2

[0087] The invention discloses a power planning method in the flight control of a small unmanned helicopter, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0088] Firstly, the stable flight state of the helicopter is determined, and the trim calculation of the nonlinear model of the helicopter is carried out to obtain the trim value to achieve the stable flight state.

[0089] Input the trim value into the dynamic calculation model of the helicopter. After the helicopter is in a stable state, the optimization calculation can be performed, that is, the optimization module is entered.

[0090] The optimization problem in the optimization module is a nonlinear optimization problem. The objective function is the calculation formula of the total required power of the small unmanned helicopter in this stable flight state. The nonlinear constraints are the forces and The magnitude of the torque remains unchanged, and the sequential quadratic optimization method is used to solve t...

Embodiment 3

[0099] Similar to Embodiment 2, this embodiment will follow the figure 1 The optimization flowchart shown in the simulation in the forward flight state, take the stable flight state of the forward flight speed v = 20m / s for optimization, the same as the process of hovering, at the rated speed Ω = 143.17rad / s, The control angle and attitude angle required for the forward flight 20m / s flight state are calculated by the trim calculation program, and input into the dynamic calculation model of the helicopter, and the optimization starts after the model state is stable.

[0100] After 3 rounds of optimization, the program obtains the global optimal solution. The final optimization results are shown in the table below. The speed optimization rate is 4.47%, and the demand power optimization is 10.11%. The effect is obvious.

Abstract

The invention discloses a power planning method for flight control of a small unmanned helicopter. In the power planning method, on the premise of keeping the stable flight state of the small unmanned helicopter unchanged, the total demand power is analyzed and optimized; through optimizing match between a rotor rotation speed and a manipulated variable, the total demand power is minimized, and the corresponding best engine rotation speed under the minimum demand power is obtained; an engine constant speed controller is designed to track the best rotation speed under the corresponding stable flight in real time, the engine thus constantly works at the best working point under the current stable state, the mobility of the helicopter is ensured, the flight duration time is increased, fuel oil consumption is reduced, and the target for power planning of the engine is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned helicopter control and application, in particular to a power planning method in the flight control of a small unmanned helicopter. Background technique [0002] Unmanned helicopters loaded with small engines as power sources have been widely used in military and civilian fields because of their stable power and long battery life. Traditional autonomous flight control design ideas generally keep the engine speed at a constant value during the entire flight, so as to design the flight controller of the helicopter. The flight control system designed in this way can already control the autonomous flight of the unmanned helicopter well. However, under the current high demand for the mobility, economy, and long endurance of small unmanned helicopters, the design of this engine speed at a certain constant value has obvious shortcomings, because this constant value of speed is determined by the helicopte...
