Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ground or deck devices associated with an aircraft, in particular to a mooring device for an aircraft. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, a VTOL aircraft generally uses a landing aid device to assist the aircraft in landing. The mainstream helicopter landing aid systems in the world include French "harpoon", Canadian "bear trap", Russian "fishing net", etc. The domestic harpoon type helicopter landing aid system technology is also relatively mature, but the harpoon landing aid system can only assist the landing of a helicopter and cannot solve the mooring problem of the helicopter, and the aircraft still needs to be fixed on the take-off and landing platform by manually operating a mooring cable. A UAV is a pilotless aircraft controlled by a wireless remote control device, a network communication device and a self-provided program control device. It is widely used in tasks such as reconnaissance, relay, geological exploration and rescue due to its high mobility and strong survivability. However, for a UAV platform, it is impossible to manually operate a mooring cable to moor the UAV, so an automatic mooring device is needed to ensure that the aircraft can still be fixed on the take-off and landing platform after landing under unmanned conditions.

[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN209814316U discloses a positioning type take-off and landing platform suitable for mooring a UAV. The take-off and landing platform includes a UAV take-off and landing platform, a fixed plate and a fixed column. The fixed plate is provided with a honeycomb hole for inserting the fixed column. The fixed column is provided with an expandable umbrella-shaped positioning structure around the circumference. The fixed columns are evenly distributed at the parking area of the UAV take-off and landing platform. The fixed plate is fixed at the bottom of the skid (i.e. the landing gear in the patent) of the UAV. When the UAV lands on the take-off and landing platform, the honeycomb holes on the fixed plate need to be aligned with the fixed columns. After the fixed columns pass through the corresponding honeycomb holes, the umbrella-shaped positioning structures on the fixed columns are extended to form a anti-disengagement fit with the honeycomb holes, thereby completing the mooring of the UAV. However, the positioning type take-off and landing platform has a problem. The UAV needs to ensure that each honeycomb hole on the fixed plate is aligned with the corresponding fixed column when landing. This requires a high landing precision of the UAV. If the honeycomb holes cannot be aligned with the fixed columns, the mooring will fail.

[0004] In addition, the Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN210592476U discloses a charging take-off and landing platform for a tethered unmanned aerial vehicle, the take-off and landing platform comprises an unmanned aerial vehicle take-off and landing platform, and a telescopic tensioning and pressing piece is arranged around the parking area of the unmanned aerial vehicle take-off and landing platform; when the unmanned aerial vehicle lands at the parking area of the take-off and landing platform, each telescopic tensioning and pressing piece is retracted and presses the skid (i.e. the landing gear in the patent) of the unmanned aerial vehicle to position the unmanned aerial vehicle, thereby completing the tethering of the unmanned aerial vehicle. Compared with the positioning type take-off and landing platform for the tethered unmanned aerial vehicle described above, the charging take-off and landing platform has a lower requirement for the landing precision of the unmanned aerial vehicle, but the skid of the unmanned aerial vehicle still needs to be aligned with each telescopic tensioning and pressing piece when the unmanned aerial vehicle lands; if the skid of the unmanned aerial vehicle has a certain deflection angle when the unmanned aerial vehicle lands at the parking area, the telescopic tensioning and pressing piece may not be able to press the skid of the unmanned aerial vehicle when it is retracted, thereby failing to tether the unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0039] The present application is further described in detail below in combination with the embodiments.

[0040] Embodiment 1 of the sled-type vertical take-off and landing aircraft multi-point compression rod type landing aid retaining device in the present application:

[0041] As Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the sled type vertical take-off and landing aircraft multi-point pressure rod type landing aid tethering device provided by the embodiment includes a landing platform 100, the landing platform 100 is provided with through passages 101, the through passages 101 are arranged around the circumference of the parking area of the landing platform 100, the landing aid tethering device further includes a control structure and a tethering compression module 102, the tethering compression module 102 is arranged at the bottom of the landing platform 100 and corresponds to the through passages 101 one by one, after the aircraft 400 lands at the parking area, the control structure controls the tethering compression module 102 to extend through the through passages 101 to compress the sled 401 of the aircraft 400, thereby completing the tethering of the aircraft 400.

[0042] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the landing platform 100 is a circular platform, the middle area of the landing platform 100 is a parking area, eight through passages 101 are arranged on the circumference of the parking area at intervals, the through passages 101 are uniformly distributed at intervals, and correspondingly, the bottom of the support platform is fixedly installed with eight tethering compression modules 102, the tethering compression modules 102 correspond to the through passages 101 one by one. The structure of the tethering compression module 102 is as shown in Figure 2 shown, the tethering compression module 102 includes a support shell 103 and a lifting and rotating mechanism, the support shell 103 is a cylindrical structure, the bottom of the support shell 103 is a support plate 105 for installing the lifting and rotating mechanism, the lifting and rotating mechanism is installed inside the support shell 103 through the support plate 105, the top of the support shell 103 is provided with an opening for the lifting and rotating mechanism to extend out, the opening of the support shell 103 is provided with a connecting flange 104, the connecting flange 104 is provided with a bolt connection hole, the connecting flange 104 is connected with the support platform through bolts, the opening at the top of the support shell 103 is aligned with the corresponding through passage 101, so that the telescopic part 110 on the lifting and rotating mechanism can smoothly extend out of the through passage 101. It should be noted that, in order to ensure the structural strength of the support platform, the through passage 101 adopts a long hole structure, the size of the long hole is matched with the size of the tethering compression module 102 to ensure that the tethering compression module 102 can normally extend out. Here, the matching means that the length and width of the long hole need to be greater than the tethering compression module 102, so as to ensure that the tethering compression module 102 can extend upward.

[0043] In the embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, the lifting-rotating mechanism comprises a first rotating support 106, a lifting driving element 109 and a support cylinder 108, the first rotating support 106 comprises a first support inner ring (not shown in the figure) and a first support outer ring 107, the first support inner ring is supported and installed on the support flat plate 105, the support cylinder 108 is fixed on the upper side of the first support outer ring 107, the support cylinder 108 is coaxially arranged with the first support outer ring 107, the connecting flange is arranged on the lower side of the support cylinder 108, the bolt through hole is arranged on the connecting flange, the bolt connecting hole is arranged on the upper end surface of the first support outer ring 107, and the support cylinder 108 and the first support outer ring 107 are connected through the bolt. The lifting driving element 109 is fixedly installed on the support cylinder 108, the lifting driving element 109 is coaxially arranged with the support cylinder 108, the lifting driving element 109 is specifically an electric cylinder, the motor of the lifting driving element 109 is installed inside the support cylinder 108, and the output end of the lifting driving element 109 is the lifting-rotating output end 116 of the lifting-rotating mechanism. In addition, the first driving motor 117 is also arranged on the support flat plate 105, the output end of the first driving motor 117 is provided with a transmission gear, the transmission gear is in meshing transmission with the first support outer ring 107, the first driving motor 117 drives the first support outer ring 107 to rotate around the axis thereof through the transmission gear, the first support outer ring 107 drives the lifting-rotating output end 116 to rotate around the vertical axis while rotating, and the lifting driving element 109 drives the lifting-rotating output end 116 to lift in the up-down direction.

[0044] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , the lifting-rotating output end 116 is provided with a telescopic element 110, the output end of the telescopic element 110 is provided with a pressing rod 118, the telescopic element 110 can drive the pressing rod 118 to extend and retract towards and away from the corresponding sliding sledge 401, the telescopic element 110 is specifically an electric cylinder, the telescopic element 110 is fixedly connected with the lifting-rotating output end 116, and the telescopic direction of the telescopic element 110 is perpendicular to the lifting direction of the lifting-rotating output end 116. As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , one end of the pressing rod 118 away from the telescopic element 110 is a pressing end, the pressing end is used for directly pressing the sliding sledge 401, and the pressing end is provided with two mutually perpendicular pressing surfaces 111, and the two pressing surfaces 111 are respectively used for pressing the sliding sledge 401 downward and in the horizontal direction.

[0045] In the embodiment, the control structure comprises a position sensor 112, as shown in Figure 2 , the position sensor 112 is arranged on the lower surface of the telescopic element 110, and the position sensor 112 is used for detecting the specific position of the sliding sledge 401. The control structure further comprises a first pressure sensor 113 and a second pressure sensor 114, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the first pressure sensor 113 is arranged on the two mutually perpendicular pressing surfaces 111, and the first pressure sensor 113 feeds back the pressure value to the control structure, and the control structure judges whether the pressing surface 111 is in contact with the skid 401 according to the pressure value, so that the position of the pressing rod 118 can be adjusted more accurately. The second pressure sensor 114 is arranged at the upper surface of the telescopic part 110, because the telescopic part 110 is located in the through passage 101 of the take-off and landing platform 100 before the skid 401 is pressed, and the telescopic part 110 is driven by the lifting driving part 109 to extend out of the corresponding through passage 101 when the aircraft 400 lands on the take-off and landing platform 100. Since the landing accuracy of the aircraft 400 is difficult to guarantee, when the aircraft 400 lands on the take-off and landing platform 100, the skid 401 of the aircraft 400 may block some of the through passages 101, which makes the telescopic part 110 in the corresponding through passage 101 unable to extend normally. The pressure value fed back by the second pressure sensor 114 judges which telescopic parts 110 cannot extend normally, so that the telescopic parts 110 that can extend normally are controlled to extend out of the through passage 101 to complete the pressing of the skid 401.

[0046] As shown in the embodiment, Figure 1 The take-off and landing platform 100 is rotatably installed on the support base 200 around its own axis, the support base 200 comprises a base (not shown in the figure), a second rotary support 201 and a second driving motor 203, the second rotary support 201 comprises a second support inner ring (not shown in the figure) and a second support outer ring 202, the second support inner ring and the second support outer ring 202 are coaxially rotatably assembled, the second support inner ring is fixedly installed on the base, the output end of the second driving motor 203 is provided with a transmission gear, the transmission gear is in meshing transmission with the second support outer ring 202, the second driving motor 203 drives the second support outer ring 202 to rotate circumferentially through the transmission gear, and the take-off and landing platform 100 is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the second support outer ring 202 and can be driven by the second driving motor 203 to rotate around its own axis. Figure 5 As shown in the embodiment,

[0047] As shown in the embodiment, Figure 4As shown, the grid device 115 is installed at the parking area of the take-off and landing platform 100, which can cooperate with the fish structure 402 on the aircraft 400 to assist the landing of the aircraft 400. When the multi-point pressure rod type landing assisting and retaining device of the sled type vertical take-off and landing aircraft provided by the present application is used, the aircraft 400 first completes the landing by cooperating the grid device 115 with the fish structure 402, then the control structure controls the lifting and rotating mechanism of the corresponding retaining pressure module 102 to act, the lifting driving part 109 in the lifting and rotating mechanism drives the lifting and rotating output end 116 to extend upward through the passage 101, and then the first rotating support 106 drives the telescopic part 110 on the lifting and rotating output end 116 to rotate, when the telescopic part 110 is directed to the sled 401, the first rotating support 106 stops rotating, the output end of the telescopic part 110 is extended to drive the pressure rod 118 to move towards the sled 401, and the position of the pressure rod 118 is adjusted by the lifting driving part 109 and the telescopic part 110, so that the pressure rod 118 completes the pressure on the sled 401. When the unmanned aerial vehicle needs to take off, the control structure controls the telescopic part 110 to contract, the telescopic part 110 drives the pressure rod 118 to move away from the sled 401, and then the telescopic part 110 and the pressure rod 118 are lowered into the corresponding through passage 101 through the lifting and rotating mechanism, at this time, the aircraft 400 can take off normally.

[0048] It should be noted that, in order to ensure the pressure on the sled 401, each sled 401 corresponds to at least two retaining pressure modules 102. Preferably, as shown in the figure, Figure 4 The retaining pressure module 102 has eight, and each sled 401 corresponds to three retaining pressure modules 102, and the end of the two rows of sleds 401 also has a retaining pressure module 102 for pressure.
