[0098] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0099] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 33The fuselage assembly 10 of an aircraft 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. The aircraft 100 may be a drone, which can be used in agricultural operations such as spraying pesticides or watering crops. Of course, the aircraft 100 can also be used in other fields, such as spraying fire extinguishing fluid during forest fires, aerial photography, power inspections, environmental monitoring, forest fire prevention, and disaster inspections.
[0100] like Figure 1-Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the fuselage assembly 10 of the aircraft 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a fuselage 1 , a plurality of arms 2 and a plurality of support arms 232 .
[0101] Specifically, multiple arms 2 are distributed along the circumference of the fuselage 1. For example, there are two arms 2, and the two arms 2 are distributed on the left and right sides of the fuselage 1. One end of each arm 2 is rotatably connected to the fuselage 1. Therefore, it can be seen that each arm 2 is rotatable relative to the fuselage 1.
[0102] The number of support arms 232 is the same as the number of arms 2 and corresponds one to one. Each support arm 232 is adjacent to the corresponding arm 2. For example, when there are two arms 2, there are also two support arms 232. When the two arms 2 are distributed on the left and right sides of the fuselage 1, the two support arms 232 are also distributed on the left and right sides of the fuselage 1. Each support arm 232 can be located on the rear side of the corresponding arm 2 and adjacent to its corresponding arm 2.
[0103] One end of each support arm 232 is rotatably connected to the fuselage 1. A locking assembly 233 is provided at the end of each support arm 232 away from the fuselage 1. The support arm 232 engages with the corresponding arm 2 through the locking assembly 233. Each arm 2 has an extended position and a folded position. The locking assembly 233 has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the locking assembly 233 locks the arm 2 in the extended position. In the unlocked state, the locking assembly 233 disengages from the arm 2, allowing the arm 2 to rotate to the folded position.
[0104] As can be seen, each arm 2 is rotatable relative to the fuselage 1 between an extended position and a folded position. In the locked state, the locking assembly 233 locks the arm 2 in the extended position. This means that in this state, the support arm 232 is connected to the corresponding arm 2 via the locking assembly 233, thereby forming a stable triangular structure with the support arm 232, the arm 2, and the fuselage 1. At the same time, the support arm 232 can support the arm 2, ensuring that the arm 2 is structurally stable and reliable in the extended position.
[0105] In the unlocked state, the locking assembly 233 is disengaged from the arm 2, and the arm 2 can be rotated to the folded position. It can be understood that when the arm 2 is in the folded position, the space occupied by the fuselage assembly 10 can be reduced to a certain extent, thereby reducing the space occupied by the aircraft 100, thereby facilitating the storage and transportation of the aircraft 100.
[0106] It is also understood that the arm 2 can be deployed and folded by simply adjusting the mating relationship between the locking assembly 233 and the arm 2. Simply disengaging the locking assembly 233 from the arm 2 releases the rotational restriction of the arm 2 relative to the body 1, allowing the arm 2 to rotate to the folded position. This makes the folding process of the arm 2 simple and easy to operate.
[0107] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the fuselage assembly 10 of the aircraft 100 is configured such that one end of each support arm 232 is rotatably connected to the fuselage 1. Each support arm 232 is provided with a locking assembly 233 at the end away from the fuselage 1. The support arm 232 engages with the corresponding arm 2 via the locking assembly 233. Each arm 2 has an extended position and a folded position. The locking assembly 233 has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the locking assembly 233 locks the arm 2 in the extended position. In the unlocked state, the locking assembly 233 disengages from the arm 2, allowing the arm 2 to rotate to the folded position. This allows the arm 2 to be folded and easily operated. When the arm 2 is in the extended position, the support arm 232 supports the arm 2, ensuring that the arm 2 maintains a stable and reliable structure in the extended position.
[0108] like Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, a fuselage 1 includes a connecting beam 11 and a mounting frame 12. The connecting beam 11 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 12, and one end of each arm 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting beam 11. As can be seen, the structure of the fuselage 1 is simple. It should be noted that the mounting frame 12 can be used to mount batteries 6 and liquid storage containers 5 of the aircraft 100. The arms 2 can be rotatably connected to the fuselage 1 by cooperating with the connecting beam 11.
[0109] like Figure 13-15As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, each arm 2 includes a pivot 21 and an arm rod 22, one end of the arm rod 22 is fixed to the pivot 21, and the pivot 21 is rotatably connected to the connecting beam 11. In the locked state, the locking assembly 233 cooperates with the connecting beam 11 and the pivot 21 to lock the arm 2 in the deployed position. As can be seen, each arm 2 can be rotatably connected to the connecting beam 11 through the pivot 21, and the support arm 232 can be locked in the deployed position by cooperating with the pivot 21 through the locking assembly 233. At the same time, when the locking assembly 233 is disengaged from the pivot 21 and the connecting beam 11, the arm 2 can be rotated relative to the fuselage 1, thereby folding the arm 2 to the folded position, which is convenient for storage and transportation of the aircraft 100.
[0110] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a mating groove 115 is formed on the connecting beam 11, and two opposing side walls of the mating groove 115 are respectively provided with pivot holes 1126. The pivot holes 1126 on different side walls are opposite and coaxially arranged. A portion of the pivot member 21 is located within the mating groove 115, and the portion of the pivot member 21 located within the mating groove 115 is provided with a mating hole 2122. There are multiple mating holes 2122, which correspond one-to-one with the pivot holes 1126 on the connecting beam 11 and are coaxially arranged. Therefore, when mating the arm 2 with the connecting beam 11, it is necessary to extend a portion of the pivot member 21 into the mating groove 115 so that the multiple mating holes 2122 correspond one-to-one with the multiple pivot holes 1126 and are coaxially arranged. Then, the adapter shaft can be sequentially passed through the corresponding pivot holes 1126 and mating holes 2122, thereby achieving a pivotal connection between the pivot member 21 and the connecting beam 11, thereby achieving a pivotable connection between the arm 2 and the connecting beam 11. This ensures the reliability of the foldability of the machine arm 2.
[0111] like Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 14As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a first limiting groove 1131 is provided on the outer wall of the mating groove 115, which is recessed toward the mating groove 115. A second limiting groove 2113 is provided on the portion of the pivot member 21 not provided in the mating groove 115, which is recessed toward the mating groove 115. The second limiting groove 2113 communicates with the first limiting groove 1131 to form an annular groove. In the locked state, the locking assembly 233 is sleeved on the annular groove formed by the second limiting groove 2113 and the first limiting groove 1131 to lock the arm 2 in the deployed position. It can be seen that the provision of the first limiting groove 1131 and the second limiting groove 2113 can limit the locking assembly 233 in the axial direction of the arm 2, to a certain extent preventing the locking assembly 233 from sliding along the axial direction of the arm 2, thereby facilitating the operation of locking the arm 2 in the deployed position using the locking assembly 233. This improves the reliability of the locking assembly 233 in locking the arm 2.
[0112] like Figure 13 and Figures 17-20 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the locking assembly 233 includes: a first locking accessory 2331, a second locking accessory 2332 and a locking piece 2333, the first locking accessory 2331 is pivotally connected to the corresponding support arm 232, the first end of the first locking accessory 2331 is pivotally connected to the first end of the second locking accessory 2332, and the second end of the first locking accessory 2331 is detachably connected to the second end of the second locking accessory 2332 through the locking piece 2333. In the locked state, the second end of the first locking accessory 2331 and the second end of the second locking accessory 2332 are connected through the locking piece 2333 to be sleeved on the first limiting groove 1131 and the second limiting groove 2113 to lock the arm 2 in the deployed position; in the unlocked state, the locking piece 2333 is disengaged from the first locking accessory 2331 so that the second end of the first locking accessory 2331 and the second end of the second lock accessory 2332 can be separated.
[0113] It can be seen that the structure of the locking assembly 233 is simple, and the switching of the locking assembly 233 between the locked state and the unlocked state is easy to operate. Figure 13 and Figure 17As shown, in the locked state, the second end of the first locking accessory 2331 and the second end of the second locking accessory 2332 are connected by the locking piece 2333 to form an annular structure and are arranged in the annular groove defined by the first limiting groove 1131 and the second limiting groove 2113, thereby locking the arm 2 in the expanded position. In the unlocked state, the locking member 2333 disengages from the first locking member 2331, thereby separating the second end of the first locking member 2331 from the second end of the second locking member 2332. As is known, the first end of the first locking member 2331 and the first end of the second locking member 2332 are pivotally connected. Thus, after the locking member 2333 disengages from the first locking member 2331, the second ends of the first locking member 2331 and the second ends of the second locking member 2332 can rotate away from each other, thereby gradually increasing the distance between the second end of the second locking member 2332 and the second end of the first locking member 2331. This allows the locking assembly 233 to disengage from the arm 2 and separate. This releases the restriction on the rotation of the arm 2 relative to the body 1, allowing the arm 2 to rotate to the folded position. This simplifies and facilitates the folding process of the arm 2.
[0114] like Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 19 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a limiting protrusion 1132 is provided on one of the bottom wall of the first limiting groove 1131 and the inner side wall of the second locking member 2332, and a third limiting groove 23324 is provided on the other of the bottom wall of the first limiting groove 1131 and the inner side wall of the second locking member 2332. The limiting protrusion 1132 is adapted to extend into the third limiting groove 23324. Therefore, during the operation of locking the arm 2 in the deployed position using the locking assembly 233, the cooperation between the limiting protrusion 1132 and the third limiting groove 23324 can, to a certain extent, prevent the second locking member 2332 from rotating relative to the arm 2 and the body 1, thereby facilitating the operation of locking the arm 2 in the deployed position using the locking assembly 233. This improves the reliability of the locking assembly 233 in locking the arm 2.
[0115] like Figures 17-20As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, two first locking parts 23314 are provided at a distance from each other on the second end of the first locking part 2331, two second locking parts 23323 are provided at a distance from each other on the second end of the second locking part 2332, a rotatable pivot rod 2334 is provided between the two second locking parts 23323, a locking hole 23341 is provided on the pivot rod 2334, a locking slot 23315 is provided on a side away from the second locking part 23323 of at least one of the two first locking parts 23314, and the locking part 2333 includes a locking body 23331, a locking wrench 23323, and a locking screw 23324. 332 and a locking connecting rod 23333, the locking connecting rod 23333 is arranged on the locking body 23331, the locking wrench 23332 is arranged on the locking body 23331 and is located on the side of the locking body 23331 away from the locking connecting rod 23333, and a locking protrusion 23334 is also provided on the side of the locking body 23331 on which the locking connecting rod 23333 is arranged, a part of the locking connecting rod 23333 passes through the space defined by the two first locking parts 23314 to extend into the locking hole 23341, and in the locked state, the locking protrusion 23334 is clamped in the locking slot 23315.
[0116] Thus, it can be seen that the locking assembly 233 has a reliable structure and can effectively lock the arm 2 in the deployed position in the locked state. The arrangement of the locking protrusion 23334 and the locking slot 23315 can further improve the reliability of the locking assembly 233, ensuring that the arm 2 can be reliably maintained in the deployed position during flight of the aircraft 100, thereby improving the reliability of the aircraft 100.
[0117] At the same time, it can be understood that since the pivot rod 2334 is rotatable, a part of the locking connecting rod 23333 passes through the space defined by the two first locking parts 23314 to extend into the locking hole 23341, and the two first locking parts 23314 are arranged at intervals, so that if the locking protrusion 23334 is disengaged from the locking slot 23315, the locking piece 2333 as a whole can be rotated around the central axis of the pivot rod 2334 through the locking connecting rod 23333, thereby causing the locking connecting rod 23333 to gradually disengage from the space between the two first locking parts 23314, thereby switching the locking assembly 233 from the locked state to the unlocked state. At this time, the locking assembly 233 is disengaged from the arm 2, and the arm 2 can rotate relative to the fuselage 1, and then the arm 2 can be rotated to the folded position. If the aircraft 100 needs to be used, the arm 2 can be rotated from the folded position to the unfolded position first, and then the locking assembly 233 can be put on the arm 2. Then the locking wrench 23332 can be moved so that the locking piece 2333 as a whole can be rotated around the central axis of the pivot rod 2334 toward the two first locking parts 23314 through the locking connecting rod 23333. When the locking piece 2333 is rotated until a part of the locking connecting rod 23333 is located between the two first locking parts 23314 and the locking protrusion 23334 is stuck in the locking slot 23315, the locking assembly 233 is switched to the locked state, and the arm 2 can be reliably locked in the unfolded position.
[0118] In some embodiments of the present invention, the locking connecting rod 23333 is axially movably disposed in the locking hole 23341. In the unlocked state, the locking connecting rod 23333 moves in a direction away from the locking hole 23341 to disengage the locking protrusion 23334 from the locking slot 23315. Therefore, it can be seen that when the locking assembly 233 is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state, a force can be applied to the locking wrench 23332 to move the locking connecting rod 23333 in a direction away from the locking hole 23341, so that the locking protrusion 23334 can be disengaged from the locking slot 23315, and then the locking piece 2333 as a whole can be rotated around the central axis of the pivot rod 2334 through the locking connecting rod 23333, so that the locking connecting rod 23333 gradually disengages from the space between the two first locking parts 23314, thereby switching the locking assembly 233 from the locked state to the unlocked state. At this time, the locking assembly 233 is disengaged from the arm 2, and the arm 2 can rotate relative to the fuselage 1, and then the arm 2 can be rotated to the folded position. When switching the locking assembly 233 from the unlocked state to the locked state, the arm 2 can be rotated from the folded position to the deployed position first, and then the locking assembly 233 can be put on the arm 2. Then the locking wrench 23332 can be moved so that the locking piece 2333 as a whole can be rotated around the central axis of the pivot rod 2334 toward the two first locking parts 23314 through the locking connecting rod 23333. When the locking piece 2333 is rotated until a part of the locking connecting rod 23333 is located between the two first locking parts 23314, the locking connecting rod 23333 can be moved toward the direction close to the locking hole 23341 so that the locking protrusion 23334 is locked in the locking slot 23315, and the arm 2 can be reliably locked in the deployed position.

The adapter 2312 is located on a side of the mounting base 2311 away from the mounting frame 12. The support arm 232 is provided with a pivot 2322, which is pivotally connected to the adapter 2312. It can be seen that the structure of the connector 231 is simple and reliable, and the rotatable connection between the support arm 232 and the mounting frame 12 is simple and reliable, making it easy to assemble and disassemble.

Specifically, each pivotal portion 112 extends rearward at an angle of 9°, 12°, 14°, or 16° relative to the first beam 111. It should be noted that the angle between the horizontal projection of the central axis of the second beam 114 and the central axis of the first beam 111 is the angle at which the second beam 114 extends rearward relative to the first beam 111. A second mating slot 1120 is formed within the pivotal portion 112, opening rearward and communicating with the first mating slot 1110.
[0129] Specifically, each pivoting portion 112 includes an upper pivoting wall 1121, a lower pivoting wall 1122, and a front pivoting wall 1123 connected to the upper pivoting wall 1121 and the lower pivoting wall 1122.

The other end of the support arm 232 is pivotally connected to the locking assembly 233 via the pivot member 2322.
[0141] Reference Figures 17-20 The locking assembly 233 includes a first locking component 2331 , a second locking component 2332 and a locking member 2333 .
[0142] Reference Figure 13 and Figure 18 The first locking member 2331 includes a first circular portion 23311, two first pivoting protrusions 23312 extending outwardly from the outer circumference of the first circular portion 23311, a pivot block 23313, and a first locking portion 23314. The two first pivoting protrusions 23312 are pivotally connected to the end of the support arm 232 away from the connecting member 231 via a pivot member 2322. A locking slot 23315 is formed on the side wall of the first locking portion 23314.
[0143] Reference Figure 17-Figure 19 The second locking member 2332 includes a second circular portion 23321, two second pivoting protrusions 23322 extending outwardly from the outer circumference of the second circular portion 23321, and a second locking portion 23323.

The locking member 2333 includes a locking body 23331, a locking wrench 23332 extending outwardly from a first end surface of the locking body 23331, and a locking connecting rod 23333 (which can be a separate component) extending from a second end surface of the locking body 23331. Furthermore, a locking protrusion 23334 is formed on the second end surface.
[0145] The following describes the deployment process of the arm 2 in detail:
[0146] First, rotate the arm 2 to fit the first outer wall 2111 of the pivot member 21 into the third fitting groove 1130 of the fitting portion 113. This ensures that the fitting portion 113 and the second outer wall 2112 are located on the same circumference, forming a complete cylindrical tube. At the same time, the first retaining groove 1131 on the retaining portion 113 and the second retaining groove 2113 on the circumference of the second outer wall 2112 together form a complete annular groove.
[0147] Next, the support arm 232 is rotated to engage the first annular portion 23311 of the first locking member 2331 and the second annular portion 23321 of the second locking member 2332 with the second limiting groove 2113 and the first limiting groove 1131, respectively. The limiting protrusion 1132 on the bottom wall of the first limiting groove 1131 engages with the third limiting groove 23324 on the inner circumference of the second annular portion 23321, preventing the second annular portion 23321 from rotating relative to the bottom wall of the first limiting groove 1131.
[0148] Finally, the locking member 2333 locks the first annular portion 23311 of the first locking member 2331 and the second annular portion 23321 of the second locking member 2332, so that the first annular portion 23311 and the second annular portion 23321 form a circular collar coaxially arranged with the cylindrical tube formed by the mating portion 113 and the second outer wall 2112. The first annular portion 23311 and the second annular portion 23321 lock the second outer wall 2112 and the mating portion 113 of the pivot member 21. The locking protrusion 23334 on the second end surface of the locking member 2333 and the locking groove 23315 on the side wall of the first locking portion 23312 cooperate to squeeze the first annular portion 23311 and the second annular portion 23321 against the outer circumference of the second outer wall 2112 of the pivot member 21.
