Air-based launching device for unmanned aerial vehicles

Abstract

The invention discloses an air-based launching device for unmanned aerial vehicles. The device comprises a sliding rail, a launching bracket and launchers. Each launcher comprises a plurality of launching cylinders, each launching cylinder comprises an ejection device, each ejection device comprises a single-double lug sheet structure, a spring device and a steel cable, and multiple swarm unmannedaerial vehicles can be placed. Before launching, the unmanned aerial vehicles are placed in the launching cylinders at first, and then the launchers are released by the launching bracket. During launching, the steel cables locking the spring devices are pulled out, the spring devices are unlocked, the unmanned aerial vehicles are pushed out of the launching cylinders under the thrust generated bythe spring devices in the ejection devices without damaging the structures and equipment of the unmanned aerial vehicles, and the unmanned aerial vehicles are launched. Compared with existing launching modes, the method has the advantages that the space use efficiency is high, a certain number of unmanned aerial vehicles can be launched at the same time, and the consumed time of an unmanned aerial vehicle cluster in the launching process is shortened; the secondary preparation time of the launchers is short, and the working efficiency is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle space-based launching device based on an ejection device in a launching tube, and belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle launching in aviation vehicle technology. Background technique [0002] Since the 1930s, people have longed to realize the air-based launch of aircraft. This launch method transports the sub-aircraft to the mission area through a mother aircraft with a large range and load, which can greatly increase the cruising radius of the sub-aircraft and get rid of It eliminates the ground airport restrictions and increases the flexibility of sub-aircraft take-off and landing. However, limited by technology, risk and cost, aircraft space-based launch technology has not been well developed. [0003] In recent years, with the development of UAV technology and the recent proposal of swarm UAV tactics, the space-based launch technology of small UAVs has attracted more and more attention i...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The main disadvantage of these methods is that only one UAV can be launched at a time, the preparation time required for the second launch is longer, and the launch efficiency is low

For the simultaneous launch of a large number of small UAVs, a large number of launchers are required, which takes up a lot of space on the parent aircraft and requires more operators.
