Aerial launching devices and launching methods of bee colony unmanned aerial vehicles

Abstract

The invention discloses aerial launching devices and launching methods of bee colony unmanned aerial vehicles. Each launching device comprises a fuselage, a folding wing, folding horizontal tails, folding vertical tails, a hanging frame connecting piece and a flight control device; a plurality of launching cylinders are arranged in the aerial launching device of each bee colony unmanned aerial vehicle, and the multiple folding wing bee colony unmanned aerial vehicles can be placed in the launching cylinders. The folding wing bee colony unmanned aerial vehicles are placed in the launching barrels before launching, a carrier aircraft carries the aerial launching devices of the bee colony unmanned aerial vehicles to take off through hanging frames, the aerial launching devices of the bee colony unmanned aerial vehicles are released after the carrier aircraft reaches a predetermined airspace, then the folding wing, the folding horizontal tails and the folding vertical tail are unfolded, anengine is started to enter an autonomous flight state, the bee colony unmanned aerial vehicles are launched after the carrier aircraft reaches a launching airspace, and the aerial launching devices of the bee colony unmanned aerial vehicles autonomously fly to the predetermined recycling airspace for landing recovery after the carrier aircraft completes the launching task of the bee colony unmanned aerial vehicles. According to the aerial launching devices and launching methods of the bee colony unmanned aerial vehicles, the situation that the carrier aircraft executing the bee colony launching task enters the dangerous airspace is avoided, and the aerial launching devices of the bee colony unmanned aerial vehicles autonomously fly to the launching airspace to execute the launching task and autonomously return to base and recycling.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to an aerial launching device and launching method for swarm unmanned aerial vehicles. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the improvement and widespread deployment of UAV equipment systems, UAVs have played an increasingly important role in the field of national defense, and UAV swarm technology has increasingly demonstrated combat advantages: First, the distribution of functions The multiplication benefits of the system will enable the UAV cluster to have a combat capability far exceeding that of a single platform; The second is the survival rate of the system. The UAV cluster has the characteristics of no center and autonomous coordination. Individuals in the cluster do not depend on an actual and specific node to operate; The cost of the man-machine platform is low. When performing combat missions, the enemy needs to spend dozens or even hundred...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Most of the existing unmanned aerial vehicle swarm air launchers adopt the connection method of fixing the launcher on the carrier aircraft, such as patent CN108100287A, the launcher is installed near the door of the carrier aircraft; another example is CN109263996A, the launcher is installed on the carrier aircraft When using these launch methods, the carrier aircraft needs to enter the scheduled launch airspace to launch the swarm drones in the air. In actual combat, it is often impossible to enter because of the danger of the scheduled combat airspace.

Another kind of air launch method is to throw the launching device away from the carrier aircraft, and then launch the swarm drone from the launching device, such as CN109229409A, after the launching device is thrown away from the carrier aircraft, the drogue parachute is opened, and then unmanned Aircraft launch, this method still cannot solve the problem of carrying aircraft into dangerous airspace
