A ground track launching device for a soft-wing unmanned aerial vehicle and a method for launching and taking off of a soft-wing unmanned aerial vehicle

Abstract

The invention discloses a flexible wing unmanned aerial vehicle ground rail launcher which comprises a ground rail and an accelerating system. The ground rail comprises a launching rail. A groove is formed in the launching rail in the launching and takeoff direction. The launching rail comprises a locking rail located at a front launching and takeoff section and a sliding rail located at a rear launching and takeoff section. A limiting groove is further formed in the bottom of the groove of the locking rail. The accelerating system comprises a transmission belt and a locking releasing mechanism arranged on the transmission belt. When the transmission belt is driven, the transmission belt can drive an unmanned aerial vehicle to slide and accelerate on the locking rail, and when the unmanned aerial vehicle slides to the tail end of the locking rail and enters the sliding rail, the locking releasing mechanism can be separated from a vehicle body, and therefore the unmanned aerial vehicle continuously slides on the sliding rail and takes off after reaching the takeoff speed. By the adoption of the flexible wing unmanned aerial vehicle ground rail launcher, the flexible wing unmanned aerial vehicle can be automatically launched and take off, and therefore the defects that an existing launcher needs to be dragged by a tractor and cannot meet the requirement for launching multiple unmanned aerial vehicles quickly are overcome.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to a ground track launching device for a soft-wing unmanned aerial vehicle and a method for launching and taking off of a soft-wing unmanned aerial vehicle. Background technique [0002] The soft-wing UAV is a kind of suspended aircraft with a parafoil as the wing. Its launch method mainly depends on the way of towing by the ground vehicle to launch and take off. The ground vehicle accelerates to the take-off speed of the soft-wing UAV, and then releases it. Then the soft-wing UAV leaves the vehicle and takes off. [0003] When launching and taking off by being towed by a ground vehicle, first fix the soft-wing UAV to the towing vehicle, then hang the parafoil, and the traction and towing vehicle accelerates to 50Km / h~60Km / h. The towing vehicle is separated, the soft-wing UAV is lifted into the air, and then accelerates to climb to complete take-off. [0004] This launch an...
