[0062] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 For ease of understanding, the following takes a foldable coaxial biplane drone as an example for exemplary explanation.
[0063] A foldable coaxial biplane drone comprises a cylindrical fuselage 100, a rotor motor 200, a rotor main shaft 300, an upper rotor 400 and a lower rotor 500.
[0064] The rotor main shaft 300 is fixedly mounted on the fuselage 100 , the stator of the rotor motor 200 is fixedly mounted on the rotor main shaft 300 , the rotor of the rotor motor 200 is coaxially arranged with the rotor main shaft 300 , and the upper rotor 400 and the lower rotor 500 are both fixedly connected to the rotor of the rotor motor 200 .
[0065] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 , wherein the upper rotor 400 includes an upper rotor hub 410, an upper rotor pitch hinge assembly 420, an upper flap hinge 430, an upper swing hinge 440 and an upper blade 450. The upper rotor hub 410 is fixedly connected to the rotor of the rotor motor 200, the upper rotor 400 pitch hinge assembly is mounted on the upper rotor hub 410 to drive the upper rotor 400 pitch hinge 422 to deflect within a certain range around the axis of the rotor main shaft 300 to achieve the steering of the UAV, the upper flap hinge 430 is mounted on the upper rotor pitch hinge assembly 420, the upper swing hinge 440 is mounted on the upper flap hinge 430, and the upper blade 450 is mounted on the upper swing hinge 440.
[0066] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 , wherein the upper rotor pitch change hinge assembly 420 includes an upper rotor pitch change rod 421, an upper rotor pitch change hinge 422, an upper rotor pitch change connecting rod 423, an upper rotor pitch change rocker arm 424, and an upper rotor swash plate support arm 425. The upper rotor pitch change rod 421 is fixedly connected to the upper rotor hub 410, and the axis of the upper rotor pitch change rod 421 is perpendicular to the axis of the rotor main shaft 300. The upper rotor pitch change hinge 422 is arranged on the side of the upper rotor pitch change rod 421, and the upper rotor pitch change rocker arm 424 is fixedly installed on the upper rotor 400 pitch change hinge 422. One end of the upper rotor pitch change connecting rod 423 is connected to the end of the upper rotor pitch change rocker arm 424 through the upper rotor pitch change rocker arm 424 bearing, and the other end is connected to the end of the upper rotor swash plate support arm 425 through a ball joint.
[0067] Reference Figure 6 In addition, the phase angle of the rotor pitch rocker arm It refers to the angle between the line connecting the center of the end bearing of the variable pitch rocker arm to the center of the rotor hub and the axis of the rotor variable pitch hinge. The phase angle can be changed by changing the size of the rotor variable pitch rocker arm. .
[0068] Among them, the flapping hinge, also called the horizontal hinge, is conventionally designed to set a horizontal axial hole at the root of the blade, which is connected to the rotor pitch hinge assembly through a pin. This connection method allows the blade to swing within a certain range. In this way, when the blade moves forward, due to the increase in lift, it naturally swings upward, and its actual direction of movement is no longer horizontal, but diagonally upward. The actual angle of attack of the blade is also reduced due to this movement, and the lift is reduced. When the blade moves backward, the lift is insufficient and it naturally falls. This movement of rotating and falling increases the actual angle of attack of the blade and increases the lift. At the same time, due to the existence of centrifugal force, the blade will have a tendency to straighten naturally, so it will not rise or fall infinitely under the action of lift, that is to say, the flapping amplitude of the blade is not infinite.
[0069] In addition, the folding function of the rotor can be realized by the flapping hinge, but when the folding function is realized, the flapping hinge extension It is inevitable that the size of the rotor blades will exceed or be equal to the size of the fuselage 100, so that when the rotor blades are folded, they can be folded to fit the fuselage 100, and the flapping hinge extension When the rotor is smaller than the size of the fuselage 100, the rotor will interfere with the fuselage 100 and cannot be completely folded to the side of the fuselage 100. For example, the rotor diameter is about 600 mm after unfolding, and the radius of the fuselage 100 is 140 mm. After folding, the rotor will fit the fuselage 100, so that the overall radius of the fuselage 100 after folding is only slightly larger than 140 mm.
[0070] Among them, the swing hinge, also called the "vertical hinge", is conventionally designed to set a vertical shaft hole at the root of the blade, which is connected to the rotor pitch hinge assembly through a pin. This connection method allows the blade to swing back and forth slightly, thereby avoiding bending or fatigue fracture at the root of the blade. In addition, the swing hinge can also be replaced by a flexible material.
[0071] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step 1, the waving frequency The calculation formula is as follows:
[0072]
[0073] Where P is the flapping frequency ratio, is the elastic coefficient of the flapping hinge, is the swing hinge extension, is the swing hinge mass moment, is the swing hinge moment of inertia, is the rotation speed of the rotor;
[0074] Locke number The calculation formula is as follows:
[0075]
[0076] in, is the air density, is the lift line slope coefficient of the blade airfoil, is the average aerodynamic chord length of the blade.
[0077] Time constant The calculation formula is as follows:
[0078]
[0079] in, is the rotor speed, is the Locke number.
[0080] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step 2, the taper angle of the rotor is obtained by using the first-order flapping dynamics equations. , Back chamfer and side chamfer , the specific equation is as follows:
[0081]
[0082] in, is the total moment angle, g is the gravity acceleration value, Δ is the correction coefficient of the rotor rotation direction, right rotation is 1, left rotation is -1, is the dynamic coupling ratio, To manipulate the coupling ratio, is the pitch angular velocity, is the rolling angular velocity.
[0083] It can be seen from the first-order dynamic flapping equations that the flapping hinge extension It will affect the flapping frequency ratio P, and then affect the flapping motion characteristics, that is, affect the taper angle of the rotor. , Back chamfer and side chamfer size.
[0084] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step 2, the dynamic coupling rate and manipulate the coupling ratio Calculated by the following formula:
[0085]
[0086] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step 3, the pitch control torque of the rotor is obtained by the aerodynamic torque calculation equation. and roll control torque , the specific equation is as follows:
[0087]
[0088] in, is the number of blades, is the dimensionless quantity of flapping hinge extension, and R is the rotor radius.
[0089] Specifically, in this embodiment, =2. From the above formula, we can know that the pitch control torque and roll control torque The calculation formula is relatively complicated. It is not a single variable lateral control input pitch angle. and longitudinal control input pitch angle is a function of the flapping hinge extension For example, when pitch control is required, input , When the pitch control moment The value is not the maximum, and the rolling control torque , that is, pitch and roll are coupled together, wasting part of the torque.
[0090] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step 5, the phase angle Pitch angle with lateral control input , Longitudinal control input pitch angle Through the following relationship:
[0091]
[0092] Specifically, by inputting the lateral control into the pitch angle and longitudinal control input pitch angle By associating the above formula, the coupling between pitch and roll can be eliminated, thereby improving the control torque of the corresponding channel.
[0093] Reference Figure 7 For ease of understanding, a specific embodiment is used as an example for exemplary description.
[0094] set up , , and then by modifying the phase angle of the pitch rocker arm , substituting into the above equation, the corresponding pitch control moment is calculated or roll control torque , with rolling control moment Take 2 as an example, the specific curve diagram is as follows: Figure 7 Shown
[0095] exist Figure 7 In the figure, the horizontal axis is 90- , the ordinate is the rolling control torque As can be seen from the figure, when the phase angle is 90° (corresponding to the horizontal axis of the figure above is 0°), the rolling control torque for ; When the phase angle When it is about 34° (corresponding to 56° on the horizontal axis in the figure above), the rolling control torque reaches its peak value, which is , the control torque is 161% of the original. It can be seen that by modifying the phase angle Size can significantly improve the control torque of the drone.
