Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the aerospace field, and more particularly to a spanwise and chordwise dual adaptive intelligent deformable wing and control method. Background Technology

[0002] Deformable wings are a key issue in the development of intelligent deformable aircraft technology and represent the most promising research direction for engineering applications. They can effectively improve aircraft flight performance or increase the flight envelope. Currently used deformable wings typically employ multi-segment wing structures, but their mechanical structures are bulky and difficult to achieve continuous deformation. Furthermore, most current research is limited to designing deformable structures for wing camber, airfoil, span, or leading and trailing edges individually, lacking an overall structural deformation scheme that allows deformation in both the spanwise and chordwise directions.

[0003] Shape memory alloys are a new type of smart material whose microstructure undergoes significant changes under external stimuli, thus exhibiting special properties such as shape memory effect and superelasticity, as well as a high power-to-weight ratio. Furthermore, they are simple to drive and easy to control. Therefore, shape memory alloys have been used in multi-segment wing structures to achieve continuous deformation. However, due to the structural limitations of multi-segment wing structures, it remains difficult to overcome their structural complexity and lack of deformability in both the spanwise and chordwise directions. For example, Chinese patent CN 113602476A discloses a continuous deformation structure and method for the trailing edge of a wing, comprising a wing, skin, trailing edge frame, and control circuitry. The beams, ribs, and stringers form the trailing edge frame, which is wrapped by the skin. Multiple ribs are arranged parallel to each other on the trailing edge frame, dividing each rib into multiple segments. The trailing edge frame is fixed to the trailing edge of the wing. The control circuitry is connected to a drive assembly located on each rib segment. The drive ropes and connection points in the drive assembly are made of NiTi shape memory alloy. It is evident that although it uses shape memory alloy to achieve continuous driving, its structure remains complex and the deformation direction is singular. Summary of the Invention

[0062] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly described below. Obviously, the drawings described below are merely some embodiments of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can obtain other drawings based on these drawings without creative effort.

They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on the present invention.

[0064] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides a spanwise and chordwise dual adaptive intelligent deformable wing, wherein deformable wings 2 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the aircraft body 1, and a control unit 3 for controlling the deformable wings 2 is provided in the aircraft body 1; in addition, a power unit 4 and a tail fin 5 are provided at the tail end of the aircraft body 1, and the deformable wings 2 are arranged in front of the tail fin 5 to provide lift. In this embodiment, the deformable wings 2 include: a wing body 21 connected to the aircraft body 1, a first deformable device 22 and a second deformable device 23 disposed in the wing body 21; wherein the first deformable device 22 is respectively connected to the front and rear sides of the wing body 21 to realize the chordwise deformation of the wing body 21. In this embodiment, a first deformation device 22 and a second deformation device 23 are sequentially arranged along a direction away from the aircraft body 1. The first deformation device 22 is used to change the chordal shape of the leading and trailing edges of the wing body 21, and the second deformation device 23 is used to change the spanwise shape of the wingtip of the wing body 21. The chordal shape includes at least one of camber, size, and shape, and the spanwise shape includes at least one of deflection angle, size, and shape. In this embodiment, the control unit 3 is connected to both the first deformation device 22 and the second deformation device 23. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the control unit 3 may also be electrically connected to the power unit 4.

[0065] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, multiple first deformation devices 22 are arranged at intervals along the spanwise direction of the wing body 21. In this embodiment, the number of first deformation devices 22 is set according to the structural dimensions of the wing body 21. For example, two first deformation devices 22 are arranged side by side along the spanwise direction in the wing body 21. Of course, three, four, etc., can also be arranged. By setting multiple first deformation devices 22, a wide range of chordal shape control of the wing body 21 is achieved, effectively ensuring the overall deformation effect of the deformable wing 2. In addition, by setting multiple first deformation devices 22, the operation of each first deformation device 22 can be independently controlled to achieve flexible control of different positions of the deformable wing 2, which is more conducive to flexibly adjusting the shape of the deformable wing 2 at different positions, so that the deformable wing 2 has a better aerodynamic effect.

[0066] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first deformation device 22 includes two symmetrical deformation units 22a; wherein the two deformation units 22a are respectively connected to the leading edge and the trailing edge of the wing body 21. By providing two deformation units 22a, the first deformation device 22 can control the deformation of the leading edge and the trailing edge of the wing body 21 respectively, thus more effectively ensuring the deformation effect of the present invention and improving the maneuverability of the aircraft.

[0067] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the deformation unit 22a includes: a first intermediate heat-insulating plate 221, a first upper deformation component 222 located above the first intermediate heat-insulating plate 221, a first lower deformation component 223 located below the first intermediate heat-insulating plate 221, and a first conductive member 224 for transmitting the movement of the first upper deformation component 222 and the first lower deformation component 223 to the wing body 21. In this embodiment, the first upper deformation component 222 and the first lower deformation component 223 are electrically connected to the control unit 3, and the control unit 3 is used to control the independent extension and retraction or joint extension and retraction of the first upper deformation component 222 and the first lower deformation component 223.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first upper deformable component 222 and the first lower deformable component 223 achieve their movement through extension and retraction. When the first conductor 224 transmits the movement of the first upper deformable component 222 and the first lower deformable component 223 to the wing body 21, the first conductor 224 needs to be connected to the first upper deformable component 222 and the first lower deformable component 223 so that it can generate corresponding deformation based on the extension and retraction of the first upper deformable component 222 and the first lower deformable component 223 to change the shape of the wing body 21. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first conductor 224 comprehensively transmits the movement generated by the first upper deformable component 222 and the first lower deformable component 223 by covering the first upper deformable component 222 and the first lower deformable component 223.

[0069] In this embodiment, the first conductive member 224 can be configured as a "U"-shaped structure, with its two free ends connected to the first upper deformable component 222 and the first lower deformable component 223, which are positioned vertically, respectively. That is, the two free ends of the first conductive member 224 cover the first upper deformable component 222 and the first lower deformable component 223, respectively. Accordingly, to ensure accurate control of the shape of the wing body 21, the outer surface of the first conductive member 224 needs to match the front or rear shape of the wing body 21 (as determined by the installation position). In this embodiment, since the first conductive member 224 is simultaneously connected to the first upper deformable component 222 and the first lower deformable component 223 at the upper and lower positions, the hollow position of the first conductive member 224 can be connected to or not connected to the first intermediate heat insulation plate 221. At the same time, the first intermediate heat insulation plate 221 can be made of a soft material, which can effectively avoid interference with the operation of the first upper deformable component 222, the first lower deformable component 223 and the first conductive member 224, which is beneficial to ensuring the accurate and stable operation of the present invention.

[0070] By configuring the first conductive member 224 to be connected simultaneously with the first upper deformable component 222 and the first lower deformable component 223, the combined action of the first upper deformable component 222 and the first lower deformable component 223 can be transmitted to the wing body 21 more accurately, making the shape control of the present invention more accurate.

[0071] In another embodiment, corresponding first conductive members 224 can be provided for the first upper deformable component 222 and the first lower deformable component 223 respectively. That is, there can be two first conductive members 224, one above the other. The upper first conductive member 224 is used to cover the first upper deformable component 222, and the lower first conductive member 224 is used to cover the first lower deformable component 223. At the same time, in order to achieve the support connection of the wing body 21, the outer surfaces of the two first conductive members 224 are matched with the shape of the corresponding wing body 21. In this embodiment, by independently setting the first conductive member 224 for the first upper deformation component 222 and the first lower deformation component 223, the corresponding actions can be transmitted to the wing body 21 through the corresponding first conductive member 224, so as to realize independent actions at different positions of the wing body 21. This simplifies the control action of the deformation of the wing body 21, reduces the control difficulty of the first upper deformation component 222 and the first lower deformation component 223, and reduces the structural complexity of the first conductive member 224. Correspondingly, the two first conductive members 224 and the first intermediate heat shield 221 can also be set independently, thereby avoiding interference from the first intermediate heat shield 221. The first intermediate heat shield 221 can be set to be soft to avoid affecting the deformation of the wing body 21. Furthermore, the first conductive element 224 and the first intermediate heat-insulating plate 221 can be connected as needed, which can also achieve the effect of combined action and simplify the function of the first conductive element 224. The first intermediate heat-insulating plate 221 also needs to be set as a soft plate to realize its function of combined transmission of the actions of the two first conductive elements 224.

[0072] It should be noted that since the first deformation device 22 uses two deformation units 22a to achieve separate control of the leading edge and trailing edge of the wing body 21, they all need to be connected to the wing body 21 through the first transmission member 224 to achieve the effect of motion transmission. Therefore, the setting form of the first transmission member 224 (such as the upper and lower integrated setting or the upper and lower independent setting) can be selected according to the difficulty and combination method of the actual action, which will not be elaborated here.

[0073] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, along the spanwise direction of the deformable wing 2, each deformable unit 22a has a plurality of first upper deformable components 222 arranged side by side, and each deformable unit 22a has a plurality of first lower deformable components 223 arranged side by side. In this embodiment, a deformable unit 22a has two first upper deformable components 222 and two first lower deformable components 223 arranged side by side. The first upper deformable components 222 and the first lower deformable components 223 are separated vertically by a first intermediate heat-insulating plate 221 to isolate their mutual influence, which is beneficial to ensuring the accuracy of the operation of the present invention. By arranging a plurality of first upper deformable components 222 and a plurality of first lower deformable components 223 side by side on the upper and lower sides of each deformable unit 22a, the operation of the deformable unit 22a can be realized by the combination of deformable components 222 and 223, which makes the deformation operation more precise and accurate, and improves the accuracy and controllability of wing deformation.

[0074] In this embodiment, the first conductive member 224 can be connected to multiple first upper deformable components 222 and multiple first lower deformable components 223 simultaneously. Alternatively, the first conductive member 224 can be independently provided for each first upper deformable component 222 and each first lower deformable component 223. Of course, according to the actual deformation control requirements, the first upper deformable components 222 and the first lower deformable components 223 that need to be connected to the same first conductive member 224 can be selected in combination. For example, two first conductive members 224 can be provided, wherein two adjacent first upper deformable components 222 and the first lower deformable components 223 can be connected to the same first conductive member 224. The side deformation component 222 is connected to the same first conductor 224, and two adjacent first lower side deformation components 223 are connected to another first conductor 224; or, for example, there are two first conductors 224, in which the first upper side deformation components 222 and the first lower side deformation components 223 that are opposite each other are connected to the same first conductor 224, and another set of first upper side deformation components 222 and the first lower side deformation components 223 that are opposite each other are connected to another first conductor 224. Of course, other connection methods can also be used, which will not be described in detail here.

[0075] By setting up multiple first upper deformation components 222 and multiple first lower deformation components 223 in each deformation unit 22a, the range of motion of each deformation unit 22a can be made wider. Furthermore, by controlling the actions of different first upper deformation components 222 and first lower deformation components 223, the action combinations between different components in the deformation unit 22a can be realized, thereby achieving more flexible control over the shape of the wing body 21.

[0076] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 Hehe Figure 5 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first upper deformable component 222 includes: a first upper temperature control 2221 and a first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222. In this embodiment, the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222 has a semi-ring structure, such as a rectangular semi-ring, a trapezoidal semi-ring, a combination of a rectangle and an arc, etc., which can be set as needed.

[0077] In this embodiment, the first upper temperature control 2221 is disposed inside the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222 and distributed along the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222. In this embodiment, the first upper temperature control 2221 and the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222 are electrically connected to the control unit 3. In this embodiment, the first upper temperature control 2221 is a semiconductor cooling device.

[0078] With the above settings, by connecting the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222 to the control unit 3, the control unit 3 can control the power supply of the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222 to make its temperature rise and produce a retraction action. By energizing the first upper temperature control unit 2221 to cool down the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222, it can produce an elongation action. Of course, when cooling the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222, the power supply of the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222 needs to be cut off.

[0079] In this embodiment, the first lower deformable component 223 includes a first lower temperature control element 2231 and a first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232. In this embodiment, the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232 has a semi-ring structure; for example, a rectangular semi-ring, a trapezoidal semi-ring, or a combination of a rectangle and an arc, etc., which can be configured as needed. In this embodiment, the first lower temperature control element 2231 is disposed inside the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232 and distributed along the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232. In this embodiment, the first lower temperature control element 2231 and the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232 are electrically connected to the control unit 3. In this embodiment, the first lower temperature control element 2231 is a semiconductor cooling device.

[0080] With the above settings, by connecting the first lower side memory alloy wire 2232 to the control unit 3, the control unit 3 can control the power supply of the first lower side memory alloy wire 2232 to make its temperature rise and produce a retraction action. By energizing the first lower side temperature control 2231 to cool down the first lower side memory alloy wire 2232, it can produce an elongation action. Of course, when cooling the first lower side memory alloy wire 2232, the power supply of the first lower side memory alloy wire 2232 needs to be cut off.

[0081] It should be noted that since the total deformation of the shape memory alloy wire is related to its total length, the length of the shape memory alloy wire should be increased accordingly according to the direction of deformation. For example, the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222 and the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232 should have a straight structure along the chord direction, such as a rectangle, and their length along the chord direction should be increased as much as possible to improve the deformation efficiency.

[0082] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the structures of the first upper deformable component 222 and the first lower deformable component 223 can be configured to be identical.

[0083] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first upper temperature control 2221 is configured to contact at least a portion of the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222. By making the first upper temperature control 2221 contact the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222, the temperature of the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222 can be effectively and quickly controlled, effectively improving the response speed of the present invention. In this embodiment, the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222 is described as a combination of a rectangle and an arc, wherein the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222 includes: a first spanning portion and two first chordal portions, wherein the first chordal portions are vertically arranged at both ends of the first spanning portion, and the first spanning portion and the first chordal portions are connected by an arc. In this embodiment, the first upper temperature control element 2221 is also arranged in a ring along the ring of the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222. The first upper temperature control element 2221 can be configured as multiple independent temperature control structures, with intervals between adjacent temperature control structures. Each temperature control structure is slidably connected to the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222, thus preventing interference from the expansion and contraction of the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222 even when the first upper temperature control element 2221 is in contact with the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222. In this embodiment, all multiple temperature control structures can be connected to the first chordal portion, or all can be connected to the first spanwise portion, or they can be respectively arranged on the first chordal portion and the first spanwise portion. In this embodiment, the contact point between the first upper temperature control element 2221 and the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222 can be provided with a groove matching the surface of the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222, thereby further increasing the contact area between the first upper temperature control element 2221 and the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222, resulting in better temperature control. In this embodiment, multiple temperature control structures can be controlled individually or in combination, thus producing different temperature control effects at different positions of the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222, which is beneficial for suppressing non-chordal deformation and further improving control accuracy. Of course, when non-chordal deformation is required, it is not necessary to independently control the corresponding temperature control structure.

[0084] In another embodiment, the first upper temperature control unit 2221 can be configured as multiple independent temperature control structures, and is provided with a soft semi-annular support adapted to the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222. Multiple temperature control structures are installed on the soft annular support at intervals. Contact is further achieved by the temperature control structures abutting against the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222. Thus, when the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222 contracts and elongates, the elastic deformation of the soft annular support maintains the contact between the temperature control structures and the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222. In this embodiment, the contact position between the first upper temperature control unit 2221 and the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222 can be provided with a groove matching the surface of the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222, further increasing the contact area between the first upper temperature control unit 2221 and the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222, thereby achieving a better temperature control effect. In this embodiment, multiple temperature control structures can be controlled individually or in combination, thereby generating different temperature control effects at different positions of the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222. This is beneficial for suppressing non-chordal deformation and further improving control accuracy. Of course, when non-chordal deformation is required, it is not necessary to independently control the corresponding temperature control structure.

[0085] In this embodiment, the first lower temperature control 2231 is configured to contact at least a portion of the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232. By making the first lower temperature control 2231 contact the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232, the temperature of the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232 can be effectively and quickly controlled, effectively improving the response speed of the present invention. In this embodiment, the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232 is described as a combination of a rectangle and an arc, wherein the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232 includes: a second spanning portion and two second chordal portions, wherein the second chordal portions are perpendicularly arranged at both ends of the second spanning portion, and the second spanning portion and the second chordal portions are connected by an arc. In this embodiment, the first lower temperature control element 2231 is also arranged in a ring along the ring of the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232. The first lower temperature control element 2231 can be configured as multiple independent temperature control structures, with adjacent temperature control structures spaced apart. Each temperature control structure is slidably connected to the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232, thus preventing interference from the first lower temperature control element 2231 on the extension and retraction of the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232 even when the first lower temperature control element 2231 is in contact with the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232. In this embodiment, all multiple temperature control structures can be connected to the second chordal portion, or all can be connected to the second spanning portion, or they can be respectively arranged on the second chordal portion and the second spanning portion. In this embodiment, the contact point between the first lower temperature control element 2231 and the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232 can be provided with a groove matching the surface of the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232, thereby further increasing the contact area between the first lower temperature control element 2231 and the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232, resulting in better temperature control. In this embodiment, multiple temperature control structures can be controlled individually or in combination, thereby producing different temperature control effects at different positions of the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232, which is beneficial for suppressing non-chordal deformation and further improving control accuracy. Of course, when non-chordal deformation is required, it is not necessary to independently control the corresponding temperature control structure.

[0086] In another embodiment, the first lower temperature control unit 2231 can be configured as multiple independent temperature control structures, and is provided with a soft semi-annular support adapted to the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232. Multiple temperature control structures are installed on the soft annular support at intervals. Contact is further achieved by the temperature control structures abutting against the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232. Thus, when the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232 contracts and elongates, the elastic deformation of the soft annular support maintains the contact between the temperature control structures and the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232. In this embodiment, the contact position between the first lower temperature control unit 2231 and the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232 can be provided with a groove matching the surface of the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232 to further increase the contact area between the first lower temperature control unit 2231 and the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232, thereby achieving a better temperature control effect. In this embodiment, multiple temperature control structures can be controlled individually or in combination, thereby generating different temperature control effects at different positions of the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232. This is beneficial for suppressing non-chordal deformation and further improving control accuracy. Of course, when non-chordal deformation is required, it is not necessary to independently control the corresponding temperature control structures.

[0087] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the second deformation device 23 includes: a second intermediate heat-insulating plate 231, a second upper deformation component 232 located on the upper side of the second intermediate heat-insulating plate 231, a second lower deformation component 233 located on the lower side of the second intermediate heat-insulating plate 231, and a second conductive member 234 for transmitting the movement of the second upper deformation component 232 and the second lower deformation component 233 to the wing body 21; in this embodiment, the second upper deformation component 232 and the second lower deformation component 233 are electrically connected to the control unit 3, and the control unit 3 is used to control the independent extension and retraction movement or the joint extension and retraction movement of the second upper deformation component 232 and the second lower deformation component 233.

[0088] In this embodiment, the second upper deformable component 232 and the second lower deformable component 233 achieve their movement through extension and retraction. When the second conductor 234 transmits the movement of the second upper deformable component 232 and the second lower deformable component 233 to the wing body 21, the second conductor 234 needs to be connected to the second upper deformable component 232 and the second lower deformable component 233 to generate corresponding deformations based on their extension and retraction, thereby changing the shape of the wing body 21. Therefore, in this embodiment, the second conductor 234 comprehensively transmits the movement generated by the second upper deformable component 232 and the second lower deformable component 233 by enclosing them within the conductor.

[0089] In this embodiment, the second conductive member 234 can be configured as a "U"-shaped structure, with its two free ends connected to the second upper deformable component 232 and the second lower deformable component 233 located at opposite positions. That is, the two free ends of the second conductive member 234 cover the second upper deformable component 232 and the second lower deformable component 233 respectively. Correspondingly, to ensure accurate control of the wing body 21's shape, the outer surface of the second conductive member 234 needs to match the spanwise end (i.e., wingtip) of the wing body 21. In this embodiment, since the second conductive member 234 is simultaneously connected to the second upper deformable component 232 and the second lower deformable component 233 located at opposite positions, the hollow portion of the second conductive member 234 can be connected to or not connected to the second intermediate heat-insulating plate 231 (e.g., spaced apart). Simultaneously, the second intermediate heat-insulating plate 231 can be made of a soft material, effectively avoiding interference with the operation of the second upper deformable component 232, the second lower deformable component 233, and the second conductive member 234, which is beneficial for ensuring the accurate and stable operation of the present invention.

[0090] By configuring the second conductor 234 to be connected simultaneously with the second upper deformable component 232 and the second lower deformable component 233, the combined action of the second upper deformable component 232 and the second lower deformable component 233 can be transmitted to the wing body 21 more accurately, making the shape control of the present invention more accurate.

[0091] In another embodiment, corresponding second conductive members 234 can be provided for the second upper deformable component 232 and the second lower deformable component 233 respectively. That is, there can be two second conductive members 234, one above the other. The upper second conductive member 234 is used to cover the second upper deformable component 232, and the lower second conductive member 234 is used to cover the second lower deformable component 233. At the same time, in order to achieve the support connection of the wing body 21, the outer surfaces of the two second conductive members 234 are matched with the shape of the corresponding wing body 21. In this embodiment, by independently setting the second conductive member 2344 for the second upper deformable component 232 and the second lower deformable component 233, the corresponding actions can be transmitted to the wing body 21 through the corresponding second conductive member 234, so as to realize independent actions at different positions of the wing body 21. This simplifies the control action of deforming the wing body 21, reduces the control difficulty of the second upper deformable component 232 and the second lower deformable component 233, and reduces the structural complexity of the second conductive member 234. Correspondingly, the two second conductive members 234 and the second intermediate heat shield 231 can also be set independently, thereby avoiding interference from the second intermediate heat shield 231. The second intermediate heat shield 231 can be set to be soft to avoid affecting the deformation of the wing body 21. Furthermore, the second conductive element 234 and the second intermediate heat-insulating plate 231 can be connected as needed to achieve the same combined action effect and simplify the function of the second conductive element 234. The second intermediate heat-insulating plate 231 also needs to be set as a soft plate to realize its function of combined conduction of the actions of the two second conductive elements 234.

[0092] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the second upper deformable component 232 includes: a second upper temperature control 2321 and a second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322. In this embodiment, the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322 has a semi-ring structure; for example, a rectangular semi-ring, a trapezoidal semi-ring, a combination of a rectangle and an arc, etc., which can be set as needed. In this embodiment, the second upper temperature control 2321 is disposed on the inner side of the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322 and distributed along the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322. In this embodiment, the second upper temperature control 2321 and the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322 are electrically connected to the control unit 3 respectively. In this embodiment, the second upper temperature control 2321 is a semiconductor cooling element.

[0093] With the above configuration, by connecting the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322 to the control unit 3, the control unit 3 can control the power supply of the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322 to raise its temperature and cause it to retract. The second upper temperature control 2321 is powered on to cool down the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322 and cause it to extend. Of course, when cooling the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322, the power supply to the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322 needs to be turned off.

[0094] In this embodiment, the second lower deformable component 233 includes a second lower temperature control 2331 and a second lower shape memory alloy wire 2332. In this embodiment, the second lower shape memory alloy wire 2332 has a semi-ring structure; for example, a rectangular semi-ring, a trapezoidal semi-ring, or a combination of a rectangle and an arc, etc., which can be configured as needed. In this embodiment, the second lower temperature control 2331 is disposed inside the second lower shape memory alloy wire 2332 and distributed along the second lower shape memory alloy wire 2332. In this embodiment, the second lower temperature control 2331 and the second lower shape memory alloy wire 2332 are electrically connected to the control unit 3. In this embodiment, the second lower temperature control 2331 uses a semiconductor cooling element.

[0095] With the above settings, by connecting the second lower side memory alloy wire 2332 to the control unit 3, the control unit 3 can control the power supply of the second lower side memory alloy wire 2332 to make its temperature rise and produce a retraction action. The second lower side temperature control 2331 is powered on to cool down the second lower side memory alloy wire 2332 and produce an elongation action. Of course, when cooling the second lower side memory alloy wire 2332, the power supply to the second lower side memory alloy wire 2332 needs to be turned off.

[0096] It should be noted that since the total deformation of the shape memory alloy wire is related to its total length, the length of the shape memory alloy wire should be extended accordingly according to the direction of deformation. For example, the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322 and the second lower shape memory alloy wire 2332 should have a straight structure along the stretching direction, such as a rectangle, and their stretching length should be increased as much as possible to improve the deformation efficiency.

[0097] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the structures of the second upper deformable component 232 and the second lower deformable component 233 can be configured to be identical.

By making the second upper temperature control 2321 contact the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322, the temperature of the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322 can be effectively and quickly controlled, effectively improving the response speed of the present invention. In this embodiment, the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322 is described as a combination of a rectangle and an arc, wherein the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322 includes: a third chordal portion, two third spanning portions, and two arcuate portions, wherein the third spanning portions are vertically arranged at both ends of the third chordal portion, and the third spanning portions are connected to the third chordal portion by arcuate portions. In this embodiment, the second upper temperature control element 2321 is also arranged in a ring along the ring of the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322. The second upper temperature control element 2321 can be configured as multiple independent temperature control structures, with intervals between adjacent temperature control structures.

In this embodiment, all multiple temperature control structures can be connected to the third chordal portion, or all connected to the third spanning portion, or respectively disposed on the third chordal portion, the third spanning portion, and the arc portion. In this embodiment, the contact point between the second upper temperature control element 2321 and the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322 can be provided with a groove matching the surface of the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322, thereby further increasing the contact area between the second upper temperature control element 2321 and the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322, resulting in better temperature control. In this embodiment, multiple temperature control structures can be controlled individually or in combination, thereby producing different temperature control effects at different positions of the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322, which is beneficial for suppressing non-stretching deformation and further improving control accuracy.

[0099] In another embodiment, the second upper temperature control unit 2321 can be configured as multiple independent temperature control structures, and is provided with a soft semi-annular support adapted to the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322. Multiple temperature control structures are installed on the soft annular support at intervals.

[0100] In this embodiment, the second lower temperature control 2331 is configured to contact at least a portion of the second lower shape memory alloy wire 2332. By making the second lower temperature control 2331 contact the second lower shape memory alloy wire 2332, the temperature of the second lower shape memory alloy wire 2332 can be effectively and quickly controlled, effectively improving the response speed of the present invention. In this embodiment, the second lower shape memory alloy wire 2332 is described as a combination of a rectangle and an arc, wherein the second lower shape memory alloy wire 2332 includes: a fourth chordal portion, two fourth spanning portions, and two arc portions, wherein the fourth spanning portions are vertically arranged at both ends of the fourth chordal portion, and the fourth spanning portions are connected to the fourth chordal portion by the arc portions. In this embodiment, the second lower temperature control element 2331 is also arranged in a ring along the ring of the second lower shape memory alloy wire 2332. The second lower temperature control element 2331 can be configured as multiple independent temperature control structures, with intervals between adjacent temperature control structures.

[0102] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the wing body 21 includes: a wing frame 211 and a wing skin 212. In this embodiment, the wing frame 211 is used to connect the first deformation device 22 and the second deformation device 23. In this embodiment, the wing frame 211 includes: a main support 2111, support ribs 2112 spaced apart along the main support 2111, and an auxiliary support 2113 supported on the support ribs 2112 and parallel to the main support 2111; in this embodiment, the main support 2111 is a tubular structure and has a plurality of heat dissipation holes 2111a opened along the axial direction of the main support 2111; in this embodiment, the wing skin 212 is used to cover the first deformation device 22, the second deformation device 23 and the wing frame 211; wherein, the first conductive member 224 and the second conductive member 234 are respectively connected to the wing frame 211 and the wing skin 212.

[0103] In this embodiment, the wing frame 211 constitutes a frame structure. The main support 2111 can be supported by carbon fiber tubing, which not only offers high structural strength but also achieves weight reduction. Furthermore, the support ribs 2112 are made of aluminum alloy plates, and the auxiliary supports 2113 are made of aluminum alloy rods. The use of aluminum alloy for the support ribs 2112 and auxiliary supports 2113 also achieves the advantages of high structural strength and light weight. In this embodiment, to further reduce the weight of the wing frame 211, weight-reducing holes can be further provided on the support ribs 2112.

[0104] In this embodiment, the support ribs 2112 are installed on the main support 2111 in a sleeved manner at intervals. This arrangement not only ensures that the support ribs 2112 are reliably fixed, but also further reduces weight, which is more beneficial to the lightweighting of the wing frame 211.

[0105] In this embodiment, four auxiliary supports 2113 are provided, and they are spaced apart along the axial direction of the support rib 2112.

[0106] In this embodiment, the deformation unit 22a in the first deformation device 22 can be installed on the side of the main support 2111 through the first intermediate heat insulation plate 221. Correspondingly, one end of the first conductive member 224 is connected to the wing body 21, and the other end covers the first deformation device 22 and is connected to the end face of the support rib 2112, thereby achieving the function of fixing and supporting the wing skin 212.

[0107] In this embodiment, the second deformation device 23 is connected to the side of the support rib 2112 closest to the wingtip via the second intermediate heat insulation plate 231. Correspondingly, one end of the second conductive member 234 is connected to the wing body 21, and the other end covers the second deformation device 23 while being connected to the side of the support rib 2112, thereby achieving the function of fixing and supporting the wing skin 212.

[0108] In this embodiment, the first conductive member 224 and the second conductive member 234 may be integrated, or the first conductive member 224 and the second conductive member 234 may be connected by means of bonding or the like, or the first conductive member 224 and the second conductive member 234 may be set independently of each other.

[0109] In this embodiment, the combined support structure of the wing frame 211, the first conductive member 224 and the second conductive member 234 forms a cavity in the middle of the wing body 21. Furthermore, combined with the heat dissipation holes 2111a on the main support 2111, it is more conducive to the heat generated by the first deformation device 22 and the second deformation device 23 being transferred out, which is beneficial to the overall heat dissipation.

[0110] Combination Figure 1, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the wing skin 212 is a flexible skin.

[0111] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first conductive member 224 and the second conductive member 234 are flexible fillers. In this embodiment, the first conductive member 224 and the second conductive member 234 can be made of TPU flexible filler material, which is a polymer material with excellent high tensile strength, high tensile strength, toughness and aging resistance. Filling the interior of the wing skin 212 can greatly enhance the load-bearing capacity of the wing body 21 and improve the thermal insulation performance, while not affecting the deformation function of the wing body 21.

[0112] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 3 includes a power supply 31 and a control device 32. In this embodiment, the control unit 3 is located inside the aircraft body 1. The power supply 31 primarily provides power to the control device 32 and the deformation of the shape memory alloy wires within the mechanism, achieving this function through power lines and signal lines. In this embodiment, the control device 32 includes sensors and a control computer, etc., and calculates corresponding control signals output to the power supply 31 based on signals input from the flight control program, thereby controlling the deformation of the first deformation device 22 and the second deformation device 23 in the deformable wing 2.

[0113] To further illustrate the working principle of this solution, it will be further explained in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0114] The first deformation device 22 is used to change the chordal shape of the leading and trailing edges of the wing body 21, which is achieved by deformation units 22a arranged front and rear. Specifically, different electrical excitations can be applied to the upper and lower deformation components (i.e., the first upper deformation component 222 and the first lower deformation component 223) to cause different deformation amounts of the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222 and the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232, thereby achieving the deflection of the deformable wing 2. For example, if it is necessary to deflect the trailing edge of the deformable wing 2 downward to increase the camber, the control unit 3 can send a control signal to cool the first upper deformable component 222 in the upper layer of the deformable unit 22a of the trailing edge, while heating the first lower deformable component 223 in the lower layer of the deformable unit 22a of the trailing edge. At this time, the first lower deformable component 223 shortens under the action of temperature, while the first upper deformable component 222 remains unchanged or stretches. As a result, under the action of the first conductive member 224, the trailing edge of the wing skin 212 on the lower side is stretched and undergoes contraction deformation, so that the trailing edge of the deformable wing 2 as a whole exhibits a downward deflection state.

[0115] When the second deformation device 23 is used to change the spanwise shape of the wingtip of the wing body 21, it achieves its function by controlling the heating or cooling of the upper and lower second deformation components 232 and 233. For example, if it is necessary to deflect the wingtip upward to reduce drag, the upper second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322 can be heated to shorten it, and the lower second lower shape memory alloy wire 2332 can be cooled. Then the wingtip will deflect upward under the action of the second deformation device 23.

[0116] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a control method for a spanwise and chordwise dual adaptive intelligent deformable wing includes:

[0117] S1. Establish an electrical connection between the deformable wing 2 and the control unit 3, wherein the first deformation device 22 and the second deformation device 23 in the deformable wing 2 are respectively connected to the control unit 3; the control unit 3 includes a power supply 31 and a control device 32. In this embodiment, the power supply 31 and the control device 32 are installed in a suitable position inside the aircraft body 1, and the power lines or signal lines between the control device 32 and the power supply 31, between the power supply 31 and the shape memory alloy wires of each part (i.e., the first upper shape memory alloy wire 2222, the first lower shape memory alloy wire 2232, the second upper shape memory alloy wire 2322, and the second lower shape memory alloy wire 2332), and between the power supply 31 and the temperature control components of each part (i.e., the first upper temperature control component 2221, the first lower temperature control component 2231, the second upper temperature control component 2321, and the second lower temperature control component 2331) are connected in a reasonable manner.

[0118] Assembly and assembly of the deformable wing 2. First, the main support 2111 passes through the support rib 2112. Four auxiliary supports 2113 are then assembled with the support rib 2112, and the second intermediate heat-insulating plate 231 is fixed to the outer support rib 2112.

[0120] S3. The control device 32 energizes and controls the first deformation device 22 and the second deformation device 23 in the deformable wing 2 based on the control scheme. In this embodiment, the attitude is changed on the ground using a hardware-in-the-loop simulation system or related devices to observe whether the deformable wing 2 produces the required deformation as expected. If there is an abnormality, the aforementioned steps need to be returned to find the problem. Furthermore, during actual flight, the control device 32 executes a predetermined flight program, and the deformable wing 2 will undergo deformations such as wing camber, span, and wingtip deflection according to the corresponding scheme. The test process records and related data are saved for subsequent processing and analysis. Furthermore, after the test is completed, the integrity of the entire device is evaluated to determine whether it is necessary to repair or replace some easily damaged structures and electronic components.
