Abstract

This invention comprises a fuselage (14) with a left and right wing (6, 7) that is initially closed and can be opened in a suitable position for flight according to user demand, a spacer (2) positioned on the fuselage (14), a vertical shaft (3) extending on the spacer (2), a lower center piece (4) on which the left wing (6) is positioned, an upper center piece (5) on which the right wing (7) is positioned, the lower and upper center pieces (4,5) are positioned on the vertical shaft (3) and a rising angled surface (41) that opens spirally onto the lower center piece (4) so ​​that they can move circularly in opposite directions along the central axis of the vertical shaft (3), and a descending angled surface (51) that opens onto the upper center piece (5) symmetrically to the rising angled surface (41).It includes a wing opening mechanism (1) characterized by a vertical spring (8) whose one end is attached to the intermediate piece (2) and the other end to the lower center piece (4), and which, by releasing its energy, causes the lower center piece (4) to move both linearly and circularly around the axis of the vertical shaft (3) along the vertical shaft (3), causing the descending and ascending angle surfaces (41, 51) to come into contact with each other, simultaneously moving the upper center piece (5). This wing opening mechanism (1) is structurally simple, enabling the left and right wings (6,7) to quickly transition from a closed position to an open position in the same vertical alignment, while the fuselage (14) moves synchronously with each other with respect to the symmetry axis, and when the left and right wings (6,7) are in the same vertical alignment, it can convert the aerodynamic lift force on the left wing (6) into a locking force that keeps the wings open, thus eliminating the need for an additional locking mechanism.

Description

1 TARIFF A WING OPENING MECHANISM Technical Area This invention improves the flight stability of aircraft and munitions with folding wings by 5. A wing opening mechanism that allows the wings to open synchronously without disrupting the flow. It is related to the mechanism. Previous Technique Unmanned aerial vehicles or winged vehicles carried by such aircraft ammunition, during transport, should not take up space or during the transport process 10 They are kept with their wings folded so that they do not experience any difficulties. (Word) the launching or release of munitions or aircraft Their wings are then spread open, allowing them to perform their flight tasks. In the known state of the art, the aircraft or munitions in question a folding mechanism to move the wings from closed to open position and 15 a lock to keep them in the desired positions (open or closed) The mechanisms are in place. In wing folding mechanisms found in the known state of the art, the wings, in configurations where they are folded side by side, on top of each other, or at certain angles It is observed that it is hidden. The wings are folded side by side, the wings are 20 flight dynamics because it maintains symmetry with respect to the symmetry axis of the fuselage to which it is attached. While this is beneficial in terms of surface area, for each wing, half of the usable wing surface area must be utilized. Since only that much space is available, providing the necessary wing surface area is a problem. This is possible. When the wings are folded on top of each other, the usable surface area increases. It allows the entire area to be used for each wing. However, this 25 This situation creates asymmetry with respect to the fuselage symmetry axis to which the wings are attached, and 2 This creates an undesirable situation in terms of flight stability. Wing Aerodynamic drag force caused by external airflow, This creates an effect that causes the wings to close. Therefore, wing folding. most of their systems have locking mechanisms that keep the wings open. These mechanisms are mostly based on the wings being brought to the open position. 5 They are spring-loaded pin-shaped structures that have a socket in a specific location. These structures serve both purposes. This increases both the complexity and the number of parts of the wing folding mechanism. The risk is that if it doesn't work, it could cause the wings to fold back. This is especially true in overlapping wing systems, where the wings overlap each other. Although it can move synchronously, its synchronous movement is limited to 10 degrees depending on the body it is attached to. This does not happen. This creates a problem in terms of flight stability.

A wing span that increases flight stability with symmetrically deployed wings. The mechanism is to implement it. Another purpose of this invention is to regulate the airflow over the wing when the wings are opened. The use of the resulting aerodynamic lift force as a locking system 20 and to prevent the situation where the wings close again after they have opened. The goal is to create a wing opening mechanism that enables this. The invention concerns a wing-opening mechanism for aircraft and munitions. suitable for use, a left and right initially closed on a body.
