Description

An aircraft carrier that facilitates takeoff and landing of aircraft

[0001] The present invention relates to an aircraft carrier for easy takeoff and landing of aircraft, and more specifically, to an aircraft carrier for easy takeoff and landing of aircraft that can take off and land vertically at sea, such as a drone.

[0002] An aircraft carrier is a ship that carries and launches aircraft.

[0003] In other words, it refers to a warship that specializes in operating aircraft, unlike general main battle warships.

[0004] If we possess aircraft carriers, we can strike most of the Earth with conventional forces.

[0005] This is because 70% of the Earth is covered by ocean, almost all oceans are connected and can be accessed from one another, civilization requires a large amount of water, and as a result, the majority of the population and industrial facilities are located within 300 km of the coast.

[0006] Thus, as modern naval warfare tactics are based on aircraft, aircraft carriers are the center of modern naval warfare and the flagships used in modern warfare by the navies of the 21st century great powers.

[0007] In the case of the Republic of Korea Navy's Korean-type aircraft carrier, when landing and moving the aircraft, or when temporarily stopping, the wheels of the aircraft must be inserted and installed.

[0008] Recently, aircraft carriers are equipped with not only aircraft but also drones.

[0009] However, drones mounted on aircraft carriers can take off and land vertically, but they are vulnerable to sea breezes, so there is a problem that accidents can occur where they are blown away by the sea breeze and collide with the ship during takeoff and landing.

[0010] Prior art documents in the technical field to which the present invention belongs include Korean Patent Registration No. 10-2469043, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-2523650, and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2022-0161099.

[0011] The present invention was created to solve the above problems, and its purpose is to enable a vertically taking off and landing aircraft, such as a drone, from an aircraft carrier to take off and land smoothly even in sea winds, as well as to alleviate the shock generated during landing and to land in the correct position.

[0012] In order to achieve the above purpose, an aircraft carrier for easy takeoff and landing of an aircraft according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises: a main body; and a landing plate coupled to an upper surface of the main body so as to be retractable and retractable by elasticity, and a buffer part for alleviating impact by elasticity when an aircraft lands on the landing plate.

[0013] In addition, the buffer section is characterized in that a first elastic body is coupled to the lower end of the landing plate, a double plate is coupled to the lower end of the first elastic body, and a second elastic body is coupled to the lower end of the double plate.

[0014] In addition, it is characterized by further including a locking part installed inside the main body, which fixes the position of the landing plate when it moves downward, and raises the landing plate upward through elasticity when it is released from fixation.

[0015] In addition, the upper surface of the main body is characterized by having a guide part that is coupled to be retractable and guides an aircraft to land on the landing plate when retracted, or enables the aircraft to glide onto a runway when retracted.

[0016] In addition, the guide part is characterized by including a support member that is retractably connected to the upper surface of the main body and arranged at regular intervals along the perimeter of the landing plate, and a guide member that is rotatably connected to the upper end of the support member and is unfolded toward the inside of the landing plate or folded to be covered by the support member.

[0017] According to an aircraft carrier for easy takeoff and landing of an aircraft according to the present invention, a landing plate is connected to the main body so as to be retractable and retractable by elasticity, thereby mitigating the impact when the aircraft lands, thereby achieving a stable landing and improving the durability of the aircraft.

[0018] In addition, by fixing the position while the landing plate is moved downward and then releasing the fixation when the aircraft takes off to raise the aircraft through elasticity, the effect of enabling a quick takeoff can be obtained by instantly raising the aircraft through elasticity when the aircraft takes off.

[0031] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to drawings for explaining an aircraft carrier that facilitates takeoff and landing of aircraft according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0033] Referring to these drawings, the aircraft carrier according to the present embodiment, which facilitates takeoff and landing of aircraft, has the characteristic of mitigating the impact when an aircraft such as a drone lands and enabling rapid takeoff by lifting it through elasticity when taking off.

[0034] An aircraft carrier (100) for easy takeoff and landing of an aircraft according to the present embodiment capable of providing such effects includes a main body (110), a buffer part (120), a locking part (130), and a guide part (140) in the aircraft carrier.

[0035] *The above main body (110) is a mother ship, and multiple hangars are installed inside.

[0036] A runway is formed in the center of the upper part of the above main body (110), and landing areas are formed on both sides.

[0037] The above landing area is formed to be connected to the hangar of the main body.

[0038] The landing area is formed to be surrounded by walls so that aircraft such as airplanes and drones can land and be positioned, and are parked in each hangar using a parking tower system used for the main facility.

[0039]

[0040] The above buffer portion (120) is formed on the upper surface of the main body (110) in the runway or landing area.

[0041] A landing plate (121) is attached to the above buffer section (120) so that it can be inserted and removed from the upper surface of the main body (110).

[0042] At least one or more catches (121a) are formed on both sides of the landing plate (121).

[0043] The above landing plate (121) is connected to the upper surface of the main body (110) so that it can be inserted or withdrawn.

[0044] At least one first elastic body (122) is coupled to the lower end of the landing plate (121).

[0045] A double plate (123) having the same shape as the landing plate (121) is attached to the lower end of the first elastic body (122).

[0046] At least one second elastic body (124) is bonded to the lower end of the above double plate (123).

[0047] The above landing plate (121) moves downward due to impact and load when an aircraft lands on its upper surface.

[0048] The first elastic body (122) and the second elastic body (124) contract when the landing plate (121) moves downward.

[0049] The above locking part (130) is fixed in position when the landing plate (121) moves downward, and is coupled to the inside of the main body (110).

[0050] A locking frame (131) is rotatably connected to the above locking member (130) at a position corresponding to the catch (121a) of the landing plate (121).

[0051] At the top of the above locking frame (131), a catch (131a) is formed to catch the catch (121a) and secure the landing plate (121).

[0052] The above-mentioned catch (131a) is caught on the catch (121a) according to the rotation of the above-mentioned locking frame (131) to fix or release the above-mentioned landing plate (121).

[0053] A first driving unit (132) that rotates the locking frame (131) according to driving is coupled to one side of the locking frame (131).

[0054] For example, the first driving unit (132) is formed in a cylinder shape.

[0055] The above locking frame (131) has a rotation axis connected to the center, and the first driving unit (132) is rotatably connected to the bottom.

[0056] The above locking frame (131) rotates according to the driving of the first driving unit (132), and when it rotates in one direction, the catch (131a) is caught by the catch projection (121a) and fixed, and when it rotates in the other direction, the catch (131a) is separated from the catch projection (121a) and is released from the fixation.

[0057] Accordingly, the locking part (130) fixes the landing plate (121) while the landing plate (121) is moved downward, and then detects the moment when the load of the landing plate (121) becomes 0 through a separate sensor, and upon detection, releases the fixing of the landing plate (121) and rapidly raises the landing plate (121) through elasticity.

[0058] The above guide part (140) is connected to the main body (110) to guide the aircraft to be positioned in the center when the aircraft lands on the landing plate (121).

[0059] The guide portion (140) is arranged at a constant level along the circumference of the landing plate (121) on the upper surface of the main body (110), and a support (141) is coupled to the main body (110) so that it can be inserted and removed.

[0060] An inclined plate (142) is attached to the upper end of the above support (141) so as to extend to the center of the landing plate (121).

[0061] The above-mentioned inclined plate (142) is formed integrally with the support (141) or is formed to be rotatable, and is formed to have a certain level of elasticity.

[0062] For example, the inclined plate (142) is formed of a synthetic resin material and has elasticity when formed integrally with the support (141), and is formed to have elasticity by a spring when rotatably connected to the support (141).

[0063] The above-mentioned inclined plate (142) has elasticity and is formed to be spread inward toward the center of the landing plate (121) by elasticity or folded by being pressed by an external force.

[0064] The above-mentioned inclined plate (142) is in a state where it is spread inward by elasticity and guides the aircraft to the center of the landing plate (121) through inclination and elasticity when the aircraft lands on the landing plate (121).

[0065] The above-mentioned slope plate (142) guides the landing of the aircraft and is pressed and folded by the aircraft at the same time.

[0066] A second driving unit (143) is coupled to the lower end of the above support (141).

[0067] The second driving unit (143) moves the support (141) into the interior of the main body (110) or outwardly according to the driving.

[0068] The above support (141) is introduced into the interior of the main body (110) so that the aircraft can travel through the wheels from the landing plate (121).

[0069] Meanwhile, a first inlet hole (111) is formed in the main body (110) so that the landing plate (121) can be inserted.

[0070] The above first inlet hole (111) is formed in a polygonal shape based on the plane, or each inner wall is formed in a wave shape along the perimeter.

[0071] Here, the landing plate (121) is formed in a wave shape so that the circumference corresponds to the wave shape of the first inlet hole (111).

[0072] The above double plate (123) is also formed with a periphery in a wave shape.

[0073] The above landing plate (121) and double plate (123) are guided and moved by interlocking with each other in a wave-shaped shape when moving along the first inlet hole (111).

[0074] Accordingly, the landing plate (121) and double plate (123) move in parallel without tilting and interlocking with the first inlet hole (111) when moving up and down.

[0075] An inclined frame (121b) is attached to both sides of the landing plate (121) or double plate (123).

[0076] The above-mentioned inclined frame (121b) presses the upper end of the locking frame (131) through the incline when the landing plate (121) moves downward, thereby rotating it in one direction.

[0077] Here, the locking frame (131) is rotated in one direction to catch on the hook (121a) and fix the landing plate (121).

[0078] Additionally, a second inlet hole (112) is formed in the main body (110) so that the support (141) can be inserted and removed.

[0079] On both sides of the above support (141), a windbreak plate (141a) is attached to the landing plate (121) to prevent the aircraft from shaking in the wind when landing.

[0080] Here, the second inlet hole (112) is formed so that both the support (141) and the windbreak plate (141a) can be introduced.

[0081] Additionally, a guide roller (142a) is rotatably connected to the end of the inclined plate (142).

[0082] The above guide roller (142a) prevents damage to the aircraft or friction from occurring due to the elasticity of the inclined plate (142) when guiding the aircraft through the inclined plate (142).

[0083] Here, a guide hole (112a) is formed on the inner wall of the second inlet hole (112) at a position corresponding to the guide roller (142a) so that the guide roller (142a) is guided.

[0084] According to an aircraft carrier for easy takeoff and landing of an aircraft according to the present invention, a landing plate is connected to the main body so as to be retractable and retractable by elasticity, thereby mitigating the impact when the aircraft lands, thereby achieving a stable landing and improving the durability of the aircraft.

[0085] In addition, by fixing the position while the landing plate is moved downward and then releasing the fixation when the aircraft takes off to raise the aircraft through elasticity, the effect of enabling a quick takeoff can be obtained by instantly raising the aircraft through elasticity when the aircraft takes off.

[0086] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without altering its technical spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood as illustrative in all respects and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims below rather than the detailed description above, and all changes or modifications derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalents should be construed as being included within the scope of the present invention.
