Description

Modularized quick-dismantling type vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial vehicle
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of quick-dismantling unmanned aerial vehicles, and particularly provides a modularized quick-dismantling type vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial vehicle.
Background
With the development of unmanned aerial vehicle industry, more and more application scenes are utilizing unmanned aerial vehicles to complete complex tasks. The vertical take-off and landing fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle is more and more favored because of the advantages such as the restriction of the take-off and landing sites, the duration and the like. Most of the existing vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial vehicles are composite wings formed by combining a rotor wing and a fixed wing, the composite wings are provided with two sets of power systems, the two sets of power systems are mutually independent, and when parts or equipment of one two sets of power systems are damaged, spare parts of the other power system cannot be used for maintenance and replacement, so that the spare parts are required to be prepared for each power module. Along with the increasing of complex tasks and load requirements, the requirements on unmanned aerial vehicles are not single, a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles with different sizes are usually required to be prepared for the outgoing operation to finish the corresponding tasks, the economic cost is increased, and meanwhile, portability of the working process is reduced due to multi-machine carrying.
At present, various quick-dismantling unmanned aerial vehicles have been proposed to above-mentioned problem, mainly the dismouting of fixed wing and many rotors to the compound wing, and this dismouting scheme has the shortcoming that the inherent energy utilization ratio of compound wing is lower, and the module size is still great after the dismouting, inconvenient carry. For example, the chinese patent publication No. CN114852326a, publication day 2022, 8 and 5, and the patent name is an invention patent application of "a modular composite wing unmanned aerial vehicle and quick-release connection assembly", in which the quick-release connection assembly can be assembled from a composite wing mode of vertical lifting to a hoverable multi-rotor mode by disassembling the assembly module. However, because the scheme is based on the design of the composite wing, on one hand, the problem that the composite wing increases extra take-off weight due to two independent power systems exists, and on the other hand, the number of the structures is more, if a certain part is damaged, the replacement is more inconvenient, the number of required spare parts is more, and the economical efficiency is poorer.
For example, the Chinese patent publication number is CN114013642A, the publication date is 2022, 2 and 8, and the patent name is a patent application of a vertical take-off and landing fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle, wherein the unmanned aerial vehicle is provided with a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicle power modules on a wing, and each power module is provided with an independent power system, has the same structure and can be used in a position-changing manner; and the number of the power modules can be changed according to task demands, so that the endurance of the unmanned aerial vehicle is ensured. In the scheme, all power systems are connected with the wing by connecting pipes, and the number of the connecting pipes is large, the length is long and the dynamic stiffness is low; when the power system is started, distributed excitation easily enables the structure to have more modal orders and weak vibration resistance. In addition, the patent only has an aileron structure on the side wing, which indicates that the main wing and the side wing must exist at the same time, and the wing does not have modularized disassembly flying performance; the disassembly of the power module only changes the power output in the vertical stage, and when the lifting surface is unchanged in the flat flight stage, different cruising speeds need to be changed in the flat flight stage in the face of different takeoff weights, so that the application condition of fixing cruising speeds in most operations is limited; in addition, a plurality of propellers and equipment cabins used in the vertical stage on each power module are of independent structures and cannot be fused with a wing fuselage, and are resistance items in the process of flying in a flat manner, so that the overall efficiency is low; in addition, the overall occupied area of the aircraft during take-off cannot be changed due to the extension of the wings and the length of the power module, and the aircraft cannot adapt to the situation that the take-off site has size limitation.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, like modules are denoted by like reference numerals. In the case of the same reference numerals, their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, a detailed description thereof will not be repeated.
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
As shown in fig. 1, the embodiment of the invention provides a modularized quick-release type vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial vehicle, which comprises a main wing module 1, a plurality of groups of wing modules, an inter-wing connecting module 6, a take-off and landing module 7, a power supply module and a control system. In this embodiment, the unmanned aerial vehicle main body is composed of a pair of parallel host wing modules 1, the main body structures of the upper host wing module 1 and the lower host wing module 1 are the same, and the local structures can be adjusted according to different requirements. Furthermore, the invention is also applicable to unmanned aerial vehicle designs of a plurality of main wing modules 1, the structural design and principle being the same as or similar to those shown in the embodiments. The main wing module 1 is taken as a symmetrical center, two sides of the main wing module 1 are connected with a plurality of wing modules, the structures of the wing modules are identical, the wing modules can be replaced with each other, and the connection relation between the wing modules is identical with that between the main wing module 1 and the wing modules. Since only a pair of parallel main wing modules 1 are provided in the embodiment, the wing modules must be symmetrically installed on both sides of the main wing modules 1, so that 4 wing modules are divided into one group, and there are 4 groups of 16 wing modules in total, and the wing modules in different groups are respectively denoted as a first wing module 2, a second wing module 3, a third wing module 4 and a fourth wing module 5.
As a preferred embodiment, each wing module adopts a modularized design, has detachability and can be used for customizing the number of the installed wing modules according to the requirements of the vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial vehicle such as carrying endurance range and the like. In this embodiment, the number of groups of wing modules of the unmanned aerial vehicle with working conditions may be 1 group, 2 groups, 3 groups, and 4 groups. On one hand, after the wing module is dismantled, the space occupied by each module is smaller, the modules can be placed and stored in a concentrated mode, the occupied area and the storage space are smaller, and the transportation and the carrying are convenient; on the other hand, under the condition of lower task load weight or lower space requirement, the number of carried wing modules can be reduced, portability is further improved, and redundant wing modules are used as spare parts. In addition, since the wing modules have the same structure and connection relationship, when one or a plurality of the wing modules are damaged, the wing module serving as a spare part can be replaced with the damaged wing module. The problem that the existing quick-dismantling unmanned aerial vehicle needs to prepare spare parts for each wing module is avoided, and the reserve quantity of the spare parts is reduced.
As a preferred embodiment, the upper and lower main wing modules 1 may also carry a different number of wing modules. For example, 2 wing modules are symmetrically loaded on both sides of the upper main wing module 1, and 4 wing modules are symmetrically loaded on both sides of the lower main wing module 1. When the number of the wing modules loaded by the upper main wing module 1 and the lower main wing module 1 is different, the number of the wing modules loaded by the upper main wing module 1 is preferably selected to be more than the number of the wing modules loaded by the rest main wing modules 1. This is because the interference between the wings affects the flow field distribution of the lower surface of the upper main wing module 1 and the upper surface of the lower main wing module 1, and the lift coefficient of the upper main wing module 1 is generally higher in the horizontal flight attack angle state. When it is desired to reduce the wing modules, the wing modules carried by the underlying main wing module 1 may be preferentially reduced, which can increase the total lift of the current configuration and thus help maintain stable flight. The difference between the number of modules carried by the upper and lower main wing modules 1 should be controlled within 2 groups. When the number of the wing modules carried by the upper main wing module 1 and the lower main wing module 1 is not equal, the battery position needs to be redistributed to adjust the gravity center of the unmanned aerial vehicle, so that the stable flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle is ensured.
As shown in fig. 2, the wing modules are all installed and fixed by connection modules, and the connection modules of the main wing module 1 and the wing module are all of the same design, and only the first wing module 2 in fig. 2 is taken as an example for illustration, and the sections of two sides of the first wing module 2 are respectively provided with an active end 21 and a passive end 22. The driving end 21 comprises a front beam 211, a rear beam 212, an electric plug 213 and a fastening buckle 214, wherein the electric plug 213 is arranged between the front beam 211 and the rear beam 212, the specific positions of the front beam 211 and the rear beam 212 can be rationally designed according to the width of the first wing module 2, the situation that the distance between the front beam 211 and the rear beam 212 is too close to the maximum extent is avoided, the stress on the connecting position is concentrated, and the connection reliability is reduced. The passive end 22 includes a front beam interface 221, a rear beam interface 222, an electrical interface 223, and a snap ring 224, where the positions of the front beam 211, the rear beam 212, the electrical plug 213, and the fastening buckle 214 are respectively in one-to-one correspondence. The active end of each wing module and the passive end of the adjacent other wing module or main wing module 1 form a connecting module, so that the connection between the adjacent wing modules or wing modules and the main wing module 1 is realized. For example, when the first wing module 2 is connected to the second wing module 3 on the outside, the active end 31 of the second wing module 3 is connected to the passive end 22 of the first wing module 2, wherein the front spar 311 on the second wing module 3 is inserted into the front spar interface 221 on the first wing module 2; the rear spar 312 on the second wing module 3 is inserted into the rear spar interface 222 on the first wing module 2; the electrical plug 313 on the second wing module 3 is plugged into the electrical interface 223 on the first wing module 2; the fastening buckle 314 on the second wing module 3 is fastened with the clamping ring 224 on the first wing module 2. The connection of the front beam 311 and the front beam interface 221, the rear beam 312 and the rear beam interface 222, the fastening buckle 314 and the clamping ring 224 jointly realizes the mechanical connection between the first wing module 2 and the second wing module 3; the electrical plug 313 and the electrical interface 223 realize electrical connection between the first wing module 2 and the second wing module 3, so that power supply and signal transmission between different modules are facilitated. The front beam 211, the rear beam 212, the electrical plug 213 and the fastening buckle 214 on the driving end 21 of the first wing module 2 are all connected with corresponding structures on the driven end of the main wing module 1; the front beam interface 321, the rear beam interface 322, the electrical interface 323, the snap ring 324 on the passive end 32 of the second wing module 3 are connected with corresponding structures on the active end of the third wing module 4. In addition, other locking modes, such as a limiting plug type, can be adopted between the driving end 21 and the driven end 22, the insertion end is prevented from being separated through a limiting structure after the insertion, and the limiting is released through a button or a pulling piece during the pulling. The quick release between the active end 21 and the passive end 22 is mainly to meet the force transmission, electrical connection and mechanical locking. When the layout of the driving end 21 and the driven end 22 is tight, the electric plug 213, the fastening buckle 214, the electric interface 223 and the clamping ring 224 can be integrated together to form the same connecting structure, so that the occupied space can be reduced.
As a preferred embodiment, each wing module comprises a driving end and a driven end, the driving ends are all overhanging splicing structures, the driven ends are all inserting opening inserting structures, when enough wing modules are installed, in order to ensure that the end faces of wing tips of the wings have no protruding structures, plane plugs can be arranged, inserting openings of the inserting ends of the end faces are closed, so that the number of the carried wing modules can be freely adjusted, and meanwhile, the flatness and the attractiveness of the outer surfaces of the wings are maintained.
As a preferred embodiment, the driving end can be further provided with a plurality of groups of connecting beams, and a plurality of groups of connecting beam interfaces are correspondingly arranged at the driven end so as to improve the connection stability between adjacent modules, and the connecting beams can be round tubes, square tubes, C-shaped or T-shaped, etc.
As a preferred embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the front beam interface 221 and the rear beam interface 321 each adopt a sleeve structure. Inside the first wing module 2, the front beam 211 and the front beam interface 221 are connected to the outside of the first wing module 2, and the front beam 311 of the second wing module 3 may be directly inserted into the front beam interface 221 of the first wing module 2. The main wing module 1, front beams of all wing modules and inner diameters of front beam interfaces are all designed to be the same, so that on one hand, the replacement among different wing modules is facilitated; on the other hand, the depth of the front beam 311 of the second wing module 3 inserted into the front beam interface 221 of the first wing module 3 is fixed, and the front beam 311 of the second wing module 3 is supported by the front beam 211 sleeved on the inner diameter of the front beam interface 221 after being inserted to a certain depth.

In addition, a fastening buckle or snap ring may be provided on each of the upper and lower surfaces of the main wing module 1 and the wing module, the fastening buckle or snap ring being located close to the front and rear beams in order to better disperse and transfer the force. The fastening buckle is also internally provided with a spring structure, so that the tightness and stability of the connecting part can be effectively ensured, and the connection strength and stability between the wing module and the main wing module 1 and the wing module are ensured.
In the disassembly process of the second wing module 3, the fastening buckle 314 on the second wing module 3 is opened, then the front beam 311, the rear beam 312 and the electric appliance plug 313 are pulled out of the first wing module 2, and the disassembly and assembly process of the second wing module 3 is completed, so that the disassembly and assembly process is quick, simple and convenient, and the overall usability of the unmanned aerial vehicle is improved. Other wing modules have the same structural features and functions as the wing modules 2 and 3, and will not be described in detail.
