The invention provides a compact quick unfolding and
locking mechanism for an air
rudder, which comprises a control surface, a
rudder fork and an unfolding and
locking mechanism, a control surface rotating shaft hole and a
rudder fork rotating shaft hole are correspondingly formed in the control surface and the rudder fork, and the unfolding and
locking mechanism comprises a
torsion spring and a locking device; the two ends of the
torsion spring are connected with the control surface and the rudder fork in a fastening mode respectively, and when the control surface is in a folded state, the
torsion spring is provided with a pre-torsion angle for providing unfolding torque; the locking device comprises a compression spring and a locking block, a clamping groove is formed in the hole wall of the control surface rotating shaft hole, and when the control surface is in an unfolded state, the locking block is inserted into the control surface rotating shaft hole and abuts against the clamping groove of the control surface rotating shaft hole. The air rudder unfolding torque is provided through the torsion spring, and the positioning and locking effects of the rudder surface and the rudder fork after the air rudder is unfolded are achieved through the locking spring and the compression spring; and by adopting an unfolding and locking integrated structure, the space volume can be reduced, the structural
mass can be reduced, and the problem of uneven stress can be effectively solved.
