Automatic unmanned aerial vehicle continuous launching system and control method

Abstract

The invention relates to an automatic unmanned aerial vehicle continuous launching system and a control method, the automatic unmanned aerial vehicle continuous launching system comprises a catapult, an adjusting platform, lifting adjusting devices and a control system, the adjusting platform is supported by the three lifting adjusting devices, the lower ends of the lifting adjusting devices are installed on a ship body, the catapult is arranged on the adjusting platform, and an unmanned aerial vehicle is arranged on the catapult; the expansion and contraction amount of each lifting adjusting device is controlled through the control system, and the control system calculates the expansion and contraction amount of the lifting adjusting devices according to the movement of the ship body. The adjusting platform is used for compensating hull movement caused by sea waves, so that it is guaranteed that the unmanned aerial vehicle can take off smoothly without being affected by the sea waves, the unmanned aerial vehicle is particularly suitable for small ships prone to being affected by the sea waves, and the control system adjusts the lifting telescopic amount of all the lifting adjusting devices according to the LQR optimal control theory; the pose of the adjusting platform can be accurately and timely adjusted, and meanwhile, the whole process is automatically completed without other intervention.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to an automatic unmanned aerial vehicle continuous launching system and a control method. Background technique [0002] UAVs have the advantages of low cost, simple structure, and high damage redundancy. The UAV body can carry a small load to play a role in complex combat missions such as ground and air. However, in the face of maritime reconnaissance or other maritime operations At the same time, due to the small weight of the UAV and the limited range, it is not suitable for reconnaissance in the distance, while the UAV that takes off on the ship deck overcomes the problem of the UAV's own small range and short flight time. Put the drone on the ship, use the boat to bring the drone to the reconnaissance range, and launch multiple drones autonomously as needed to perform complex tasks such as maritime reconnaissance and strikes. The above methods also greatly expand the capa...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the catapult technology of UAV is relatively mature. The types are mainly divided into elastic rope type, pneumatic type, electromagnetic type, etc., covering the magnitude from 1kg to 30kg. It is often used for small UAVs to take off on land, but The application on ships is still immature. It is mainly limited by the shaking of the hull caused by sea waves, which makes the take-off attitude of the drone very unstable. At present, it can only take off in a stable sea area or a stable hull with a large displacement.
