For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] The UAV wing limiting mechanism provided by the present invention is applicable to UAVs whose wings need to be unfolded, and is illustratively applicable to large UAVs with unfolded retractable wings.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4As shown, the UAV wing limiting mechanism provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes at least two limiting seats 1. The limiting seat 1 includes a fixing plate 11 and a limiting plate 12, and the limiting plate 12 is vertically arranged on the fixing plate 11.

[0028] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a fixing plate 11 of a limiting seat 1 is fixed to the outer side wall of the first wing shaft 5 of the UAV. Furthermore, the first outer wing 7 and the limiting seat 1 are relatively arranged on the outer side wall of the first wing shaft 5. Specifically, the first outer wing 7 has an arc-shaped mounting surface for mounting the first outer wing 7 on the first wing shaft 5. The outer surface of the limiting plate 12 of the limiting seat 1 has a projection line on the first wing shaft 5, and the radial midline of the arc-shaped surface is opposite to the projection line. Figure 1 As shown, two fixing holes are provided above the fixing plate 11 , and the fixing plate 11 is fixed to the first wing shaft 5 through the fixing holes and bolts.

[0029] Continue to refer to Figures 2 to 4 The fixing plate 11 of the other stopper 1 is fixed to the outer sidewall of the drone's second wing shaft 6. Furthermore, the second outer wing 8 and the stopper 1 are located on the same side of the second wing shaft 6. Specifically, the second outer wing 8 has a curved mounting surface for attaching it to the second wing shaft 6. The outer surface of the stopper plate 12 of the stopper 1 has a projection line on the second wing shaft 6, and the radial midline of this curved surface is aligned with this projection line.

[0030] The projections of one limiting plate 12 and another limiting plate 12 on the vertical plane overlap. Figure 3 As shown, the vertical plane refers to the XOZ plane or the YOZ plane. When the first wing shaft 5 and the second wing shaft 6 rotate to unfold the wings, at least part of the outer surfaces of the two limiting plates 12 abut against each other.

[0031] The drone wing limiting mechanism provided by the present invention comprises a limiting seat 1 disposed on each of the first and second wing shafts 5 and 6. When the first and second outer wing sections 7 and 8 are deployed, the first and second wing shafts 5 and 6 rotate, respectively, and the distance between the outer surfaces of the limiting plates 12 of the two limiting seats 1 disposed thereon gradually decreases. When the outer surfaces of the two limiting plates 12 abut against each other, the first and second wing shafts 5 and 6 become stuck and no longer rotate, increasing the motor current. The motors automatically limit their current and stop operating, effectively allowing the drone's wings to fully deploy. This is in contrast to existing drones, particularly large drones with retractable wings, whose wing deployment and extension mechanisms utilize motors to drive racks or cables for deployment. These mechanisms rely on the number of motor rotations to control wing deployment, requiring high control requirements. Even the slightest error can cause the wings to over-deploy. The drone wing limiting mechanism of the present invention effectively prevents over-deployment by effectively preventing the wings from over-deploying when the outer surfaces of the limiting plates 12 of the two limiting seats 1 abut against each other.

[0032] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the UAV wing limiting mechanism also includes a latch 2 and a cable 3. The cable 3 can be a pull rope, an iron chain, etc. The latch 2 includes a first pin 21 and a second pin 22, and one end of the first pin 21 and the second pin 22 are connected. The limiting plate 12 is provided with a mounting plate 13 in parallel on the opposite side of the wing deployment direction. The limiting plate 12 is separated from the mounting plate 13 by a preset distance m, and two pin holes 14 are provided on the mounting plate 13 and the limiting plate 12. The positions of the two pin holes 14 on the mounting plate 13 correspond to the positions of the two pin holes 14 on the limiting plate 12. Generally, in order to facilitate production, such as Figure 1 As shown, a groove is cut into a block to form a mounting plate 13 and a limiting plate 12. The lower ends of the mounting plate 13 and the limiting plate 12 are integrally connected, making the mounting plate 13 and the limiting plate 12 more stable. At the same time, in order to ensure the structural firmness, the mounting plate 13, the limiting plate 12 and the fixing plate 11 are also integrally formed.

[0033] The first pin 21 and the second pin 22 penetrate the corresponding pin holes 14 on the limit plate 12 through the pin holes 14 provided on the mounting plate 13, and the difference between the lengths of the first pin 21 and the second pin 22 is greater than the sum of the thickness d of the limit plate 12 and the preset distance m. When the latches 2 are inserted into the limit seats 1 fixed to the first wing shaft 5 and the second wing shaft 6, the portions of the second pins 22 of the two latches 2 located between the preset distance m are connected to a cable 3, respectively. The other ends of the two cables 3 are connected to the first outer wing 7 and the second outer wing 8, respectively. During the wing deployment process, at least a portion of the area of ​​the limit plate 12 on the other limit seat 1 corresponding to the first pin 21 inserted into the limit seat 1 abuts against the front end of the first pin 21. Therefore, when the outer surfaces of the limit plates 12 of the two limit seats 1 abut against each other, the front end of the first pin 21 is flush with the outer surface of the limit plate 12, and the front end of the second pin 22 withdraws from the gap between the preset distance m. Since one end of the cable 3 is connected to the second pin 22 between the preset distance m, it can ensure that when the first outer section wing 7 and the second outer section wing 8 are unfolded into place, the cable 3 can be quickly disengaged from the second pin 22.

[0034] Optional, such as Figure 3 As shown, the height of the limit plate 12 is consistent with the height of the fixed plate 11. In practice, in order to make the limit seat 1 more convenient to process, a limit seat 1 with the same structure is set on the first wing shaft 5 and the second wing shaft 6. Figure 3 As shown, since the position of the limit seat 1 arranged on the first wing rotating shaft 5 is higher than the position of the limit seat 1 arranged on the second wing rotating shaft 6, when the height of the limit plate 12 is consistent with the height of the fixing plate 11, especially the height of the limit plate 12 of the limit seat 1 arranged on the second wing rotating shaft 6 is consistent with the height of the fixing plate 11, it can be ensured that during the rotation of the second wing rotating shaft 6 and the first wing rotating shaft 5, the front end of the latch 2 on the first wing rotating shaft 5 can abut against the outer surface of the limit plate 12 of the limit seat 1 on the second wing rotating shaft 6, and will not hit the air, so that the latch 2 on the first wing rotating shaft 5 can be more smoothly and accurately disengaged.

[0035] In practice, the first outer wing 7 and the second outer wing 8 of the UAV are prone to freely extend during the deployment process, which will increase the torque required for deployment and cause the wing deployment and extension mechanism to get stuck. The first outer wing 7 and the second outer wing 8 cannot be deployed. In actual applications, the reliability is low and it cannot be widely used.

[0036] The drone wing limiting mechanism provided in an embodiment of the present invention connects the first outer wing 7 and the second outer wing 8 to their corresponding second pins 22 respectively through a cable 3. During the deployment of the first outer wing 7 and the second outer wing 8, the pin 2 does not move, the position of the cable 3 is locked, and the first outer wing 7 and the second outer wing 8 cannot be extended at will. When the first outer section wing 7 and the second outer section wing 8 are unfolded into place, the two limit plates 12 corresponding to them reach a state of outer surfaces abutting each other, and the pin 2 set on the limit seat 1 continuously moves from the direction of the limit plate 12 to the direction of the mounting plate 13 until the front end face of the first pin 21 is flush with the outer surface of the limit plate 12. Since the difference between the length of the first pin 21 and the length of the second pin 22 is greater than the sum of the thickness d of the limit plate 12 and the preset distance m, the cable 3 is connected to the position of the second pin 22 located between the preset distance m, and the cable 3 is detached from the second pin 22, and the first outer section wing 7 and the second outer section wing 8 can be extended, so that the limiting mechanism realizes the extension limit and unlocking of the first outer section wing 7 and the second outer section wing 8.

[0037] The UAV wing limiting mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present invention can effectively prevent the first outer wing 7 and the second outer wing 8 from over-expanding, and can also prevent the first outer wing 7 and the second outer wing 8 from freely extending during the expansion process, thereby improving the reliability of wing expansion. The structure is simple and reliable, and no additional motors or pyrotechnics are required for actuation and unlocking, which can reduce control logic and save costs.

[0038] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the first pin 21 and the second pin 22 includes a closed figure composed of at least one of a line segment and a curve. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the first pin 21 and the second pin 22 can be circular, triangular, or rectangular, and correspondingly, the first pin 21 and the second pin 22 can be cylindrical, triangular, or quadrangular.

[0039] Optional, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first and second pins 21, 22 have rectangular cross-sections with chamfered corners. The rectangular cross-sections of the first and second pins 21, 22 are easier to machine, and their longer cross-sections provide a larger contact surface with the pinhole 14. This ensures a more secure insertion of the latch 2 into the pinhole 14, and a more stable movement rate.

[0040] Continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the latch 2 also includes a connecting plate 23. The first pin 21 and the second pin 22 are connected at one end by the connecting plate 23. The connecting plate 23 allows the bottom surface of the gap at the junction of the first pin 21 and the second pin 22 to be flat. When the latch 2 is inserted into the retaining seat 1, the latch 2 fits better with the outer surface of the mounting surface and is less likely to fall off.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the UAV wing limiting mechanism further includes a baffle 4. The baffle 4 is arranged on the side of the mounting plate 13 away from the limiting plate 12, and is used to press the pin 2 when the pin 2 is inserted into the limiting seat 1 to prevent the pin 2 from falling off.

[0042] In practice, since the stopper 1 is used in drones, its safety must be enhanced. When the first and second outer wings 7, 8 are deployed, the first and second wing shafts 5, 6 rotate, causing the latch 2 to continuously move until it is ejected. To facilitate the movement of the latch 2, a gap is preferably provided between the latch 2 and the pinhole 14. However, during drone operation, the latch 2 must be prevented from falling out. The baffle 4 is designed to support the latch 2 before it moves, preventing it from falling out. Of course, the baffle 4 is designed to be relatively thin. When the latch 2 needs to move, the front end of the latch 2 receives a thrust, which pushes the baffle 4 at the rear end out, preventing the latch 2 from restricting its movement. When the outer surfaces of the two stopper plates 12 of the stopper 1 abut against each other, the baffle 4 is deformed but remains fixed to the mounting plate 13, thus preventing the ejected latch 2 from falling out. One end of the first pin 21 and the second pin 22 are connected via a connecting plate 23 . The arrangement of the connecting plate 23 also facilitates the arrangement of the blocking piece 4 .

[0043] The area occupied by the pin hole 14 covers the cross-sectional area of ​​the corresponding pin, so that the first pin 21 and the second pin 22 can be more firmly arranged on the limit seat 1.

[0044] The limiting plate 12 is arranged at the edge of the fixed plate 11 on one side in the expansion direction of the wing, thereby reducing the surface area of ​​the limiting plate 12 and further reducing the weight of the limiting plate 12. At the same time, it can also make the contact surface larger during the limiting process and make the wing expansion control more precise. In addition, if Figure 1 As shown, in practice, in order to set the fixing hole, the surface area of ​​the fixing plate 11 is larger, and the limiting plate 12 is set at the edge of one side of the fixing plate 11. The opposite side of the fixing plate 11 where the limiting plate 12 is set can be beveled at an angle to reduce the weight of the limiting seat 1.

[0045] The drone wing limiting mechanism has at least one limiting plate 12 provided with a contact sensor on the side for abutting against each other, which is used to generate a signal when the two limiting plates 12 contact to control the servo that drives the wing to rotate, thereby making the position control of the wing deployment more precise and sensitive.

[0046] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a drone wing including the aforementioned drone wing limiting mechanism. Due to the aforementioned drone wing limiting mechanism, the drone wing effectively prevents the first and second outer wing sections 7, 8 from over-expanding and prevents the first and second outer wing sections 7, 8 from freely extending during deployment. This improves the reliability of wing deployment, provides a simple and reliable structure, and eliminates the need for additional motors or pyrotechnics for actuation and unlocking, thereby reducing control logic and saving costs.

[0048] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.
