For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0021] This application provides an integrated aircraft nest, such as Figure 1-12 As shown, the system includes a storage device 1, a linkage landing gear 2, a rocket support assembly 3, a front collapsing support assembly 4, and a rear guide rail support assembly 5. The linkage landing gear 2 is rotatably connected to the interior of the storage device 1. The rocket support assembly 3, the front collapsing support assembly 4, and the rear guide rail support assembly 5 are all detachably connected to the storage device 1. When the aircraft is in the recovery state, the linkage landing gear 2 is in the first position and abuts against the aircraft. When the aircraft is in the raised state, the linkage landing gear 2 is in the second position and abuts against the aircraft. When the aircraft is in the launch state, the linkage landing gear 2 returns to the first position, and the rocket support assembly 3, the front collapsing support assembly 4, and the rear guide rail support assembly 5 all abut against the aircraft. The aircraft is configured to launch under the action of the rocket support assembly 3, the front collapsing support assembly 4, and the rear guide rail support assembly 5.
[0022] For example, such as Figure 1-5As shown, the linkage landing gear 2 has a first position and a second position. When the aircraft is in the recovery state, the linkage landing gear 2 is in the first position. At this time, the linkage landing gear 2 is placed at the bottom of the storage device 1, and the aircraft is placed on the linkage landing gear 2. The rocket support assembly 3, the front collapsing support assembly 4, and the rear guide rail support assembly 5 are all placed inside the storage device 1 for use when launching the aircraft.
[0023] For example, multiple aircraft nests can be configured according to this application, each with the functions of individual launch and stacked storage. Multiple aircraft nests are placed on a transport vehicle, and upon arrival at the designated location, a crane can lift a single aircraft nest to the target position and launch the aircraft from within that single nest without requiring an additional power unit. This aircraft nest integrates storage, transportation, and launch functions into one unit, offering advantages such as simple operation, small footprint, and low cost, enabling rapid deployment and efficient use of aircraft.
[0024] For example, during the launch of the aircraft, the rocket support assembly 3 is used for the launch of the aircraft, the front collapsing support assembly 4 is used for the support and launch of the aircraft, and the rear guide rail support assembly 5 is used for the support of the aircraft. The rear guide rail support assembly 5 also has a guiding function for the launch of the aircraft.
[0025] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1-12 As shown, the linkage landing gear 2 includes two first linkages 21, two second linkages 22, and a landing gear 23. The first linkages 21 and second linkages 22 are spaced apart along the length of the aircraft, and both the first linkages 21 and the second linkages 22 are symmetrically arranged relative to the aircraft. One end of each of the two first linkages 21 is rotatably connected to the base plate of the storage device 1, and the other end of each of the two first linkages 21 is rotatably connected to the landing gear 23. One end of each of the two second linkages 22 is rotatably connected to the base plate of the storage device 1, and the other end of each of the two second linkages 22 is rotatably connected to the landing gear 23. The landing gear 23 abuts against the aircraft. For example, it also includes multiple bosses, which are respectively connected to the base plate of the storage device 1. The multiple bosses are rotatably connected to one end of the two first connecting rods 21 and one end of the two second connecting rods 22, and the other ends of the two first connecting rods 21 and the two second connecting rods 22 are rotatably connected to the lifting and fixing frame 23.
[0026] For example, the aircraft is placed on the landing gear 23, which is rectangular. Multiple protrusions are rotatably connected to one end of two first links 21 and one end of two second links 22, respectively. The other ends of the two first links 21 and the other ends of the two second links 22 are rotatably connected to the four corners of the landing gear 23.
[0027] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6-8 As shown, the rocket support assembly 3 includes a mounting plate 31, a first rotating mechanism 32, a connecting shaft 33, a first elastic element 34, a connecting block 35, and a support platform 36; the support platform 36 is connected to one end of the mounting plate 31, and the connecting block 35 is connected to the other end of the mounting plate 31; the connecting shaft 33 is connected to the support platform 36; the first rotating mechanism 32 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 33; one end of the first elastic element 34 is connected to the first rotating mechanism 32, and the other end of the first elastic element 34 is connected to the connecting block 35; the mounting plate 31 is detachably connected to the storage device 1.
[0028] For example, the first rotating mechanism 32 can come into contact with the aircraft. During the launch of the aircraft, the force of the aircraft flying forward can cause the first rotating mechanism 32 to rotate around the connecting shaft 33 in the direction of the aircraft's movement. After the launch is completed, the first elastic element 34 can cause the first rotating mechanism 32 to return to its initial state.
[0029] For example, the support platform 36 is provided with an adjustment hole, and the connecting shaft 33 can adjust the distance between itself and the connecting block 35 through the adjustment hole. A first rotating mechanism 32 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 33. One end of the first elastic member 34 is connected to the first rotating mechanism 32, and the other end of the first elastic member 34 is connected to the connecting block 35. The position of the first rotating mechanism 32 can be adjusted according to the length and characteristics of the first elastic member 34.
[0030] For example, the rocket support assembly 3 also includes a set screw, which is threaded onto the support platform 36. The end of the set screw abuts against the connecting shaft 33, thereby positioning the connecting shaft 33.
[0031] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6-8 As shown, the first rotating mechanism 32 includes a bushing 321, a support plate 322, and a rocket support seat 323; the bushing 321 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 33; the support plate 322 is fixedly connected to the outside of the bushing 321; the rocket support seat 323 is connected to the support plate 322 and is configured to abut against the aircraft; one end of the first elastic member 34 is connected to the support plate 322, and the other end of the first elastic member 34 is connected to the connecting block 35.
[0032] For example, a support plate 322 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the bushing 321. A rocket support seat 323 is connected to the side of the support plate 322 away from the mounting plate 31. The rocket support seat 323 can abut against the aircraft. During the launch of the aircraft, the forward flight force of the aircraft can cause the bushing 321 to drive the support plate 322 and the rocket support seat 323 to rotate around the connecting shaft 33 in the direction of the aircraft's movement. After the launch is completed, the first elastic element 34 can return the support plate 322 and the rocket support seat 323 to their initial state.
[0033] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 9-11 As shown, the front collapse support assembly 4 includes a collapse fixing seat 41, a collapse fixing frame 46, a fixing shaft 42, a second elastic element 43, a collapse support seat 44, and a second rotation mechanism 45. One end of the collapse fixing seat 41 is connected to the collapse fixing frame 46, and the other end of the collapse fixing seat 41 is connected to the collapse support seat 44. The fixing shaft 42 is connected to the collapse fixing frame 46. The second elastic element 43 is sleeved on the fixing shaft 42. One end of the second elastic element 43 is connected to the second rotation mechanism 45, and the other end of the second elastic element 43 abuts against the collapse fixing frame 46. The first end of the second rotation mechanism 45 is rotatably connected to the fixing shaft 42, the second end of the second rotation mechanism 45 is connected to the collapse support seat 44, and the third end of the second rotation mechanism 45 abuts against the aircraft. The side of the collapse fixing seat 41 away from the aircraft is detachably connected to the storage device 1.
[0034] For example, during the launch of the aircraft, the force of the aircraft flying forward can cause the second rotating mechanism 45 to rotate around the fixed axis 42 in the direction of the aircraft's movement. After the launch is completed, the second elastic element 43 can cause the second rotating mechanism 45 to return to its initial state.
[0035] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 9-11 As shown, the second rotating mechanism 45 includes a front support arm 451, a first connecting rod 452, and a mounting base 453; one end of the front support arm 451 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 42, and the other end of the front support arm 451 abuts against the aircraft; the mounting base 453 is connected to the front support arm 451; one end of the first connecting rod 452 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 453, and the other end of the first connecting rod 452 is connected to the collapsing support base 44; one end of the second elastic member 43 is connected to the front support arm 451, and the other end of the second elastic member 43 is connected to the collapsing fixing frame 46.
[0036] For example, during the launch of the aircraft, the force of the aircraft flying forward can cause the front support arm 451 to rotate around the fixed axis 42 in the direction of the aircraft's movement. After the launch is completed, the second elastic element 43 can cause the front support arm 451 to return to its initial state.
[0037] For example, the second elastic element 43 is a torsion spring. The second elastic element 43 is sleeved on the fixed shaft 42. One end of the second elastic element 43 is connected to the front support arm 451, and the other end of the second elastic element 43 abuts against the inverted fixing frame 46. The second elastic element 43 can open or compress in the radial direction of the fixed shaft 42, thereby achieving the technical effect of returning the front support arm 451 to its initial state after the aircraft is launched.
[0038] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 12As shown, the rear rail support assembly 5 includes a second connecting rod 51, two launch rails 52 and two rear supports 53; the two launch rails 52 and the two rear supports 53 are symmetrically arranged relative to the aircraft; the two launch rails 52 are respectively connected to one end of the two rear supports 53, and the other end of the two rear supports 53 is slidably connected to the storage device 1; the two launch rails 52 are in contact with the aircraft.
[0039] For example, the aircraft can slide on two launch rails 52, which guide the launch of the aircraft during the launch process.
[0040] For example, the rear support 53 includes a connecting part, a supporting part, and a mounting part; the two ends of the supporting part are respectively connected to the connecting part and the mounting part, and a sliding groove is provided on the connecting part. The connecting part is slidably connected to the storage device 1 through the sliding groove. The angle between the sliding groove and the supporting part is less than 90°, so that the rear support 53 is tilted after being connected to the storage device 1, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the aircraft to a predetermined launch angle; the mounting part is detachably connected to the launch rail 52. When the aircraft is in the recovery or lifting state, the launch rail 52 is connected to the landing gear 23. At this time, the launch rail 52 is detached from the supporting part; when the aircraft is in the launch state, the launch rail 52 is connected to the supporting part. At this time, the launch rail 52 is detached from the landing gear 23.
[0041] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the linkage landing gear 2 also includes two extension levers 24 and two gas springs 25; the gas springs 25 are disposed between the first linkage 21 and the second linkage 22; the two extension levers 24 and the two gas springs 25 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the aircraft; the two extension levers 24 are connected to the landing gear 23 along its length; one end of the two gas springs 25 is rotatably connected to the storage device 1, and the other end of the two gas springs 25 is rotatably connected to the landing gear 23.
[0042] For example, the two extension levers 24 have a supporting and guiding function. When the aircraft is in the raised state, the gas spring 25 has a supporting and locking function. After the linkage landing gear 2 is manually raised to the second position, the linkage landing gear 2 has a downward movement tendency under the action of the aircraft's gravity. The gas spring 25 can lock the linkage landing gear 2 in the second position to prevent safety accidents from occurring.
[0043] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1As shown, the storage device 1 includes a housing 11, a front cover 12, a top cover 13, and a tail cover 14; the linkage landing gear 2 is rotatably connected to the inside of the housing 11; the rocket support assembly 3, the front collapsing support assembly 4, and the rear guide rail support assembly 5 are all detachably connected to the housing 11; one end of the housing 11 is detachably connected to the front cover 12, the other end of the housing 11 is detachably connected to the tail cover 14, and the upper side of the housing 11 is detachably connected to the top cover 13.
[0044] For example, the housing 11 can be connected to the front cover 12, the housing 11 to the top cover 13, and the housing 11 to the tail cover 14 by means of snap fasteners. When the aircraft is launched, the snap fasteners are first released to remove the front cover 12, the top cover 13 and the tail cover 14 before proceeding with the subsequent operations.
[0045] This application provides a method for launching an aircraft, such as... Figure 13 As shown, the aircraft launch method is applicable to integrated aircraft nests, and its steps are as follows: S1: Open the top cover 13, front cover 12 and rear cover 14; S2: Raise the landing gear 23 until the aircraft reaches the predetermined launch angle; S3: Connect the two rear supports 53 to the two launch rails 52 respectively, install the second connecting rod 51 between the two rear supports 53, install one end of the front collapsing support assembly 4 inside the housing 11, and fix the rocket support assembly 3 to the second connecting rod 51. S4: Disconnect the connection between the aircraft and the landing gear 23, disconnect the connection between the landing gear 23 and the two launch rails 52, and lower the landing gear 23. At this time, the aircraft is in contact with the front collapsing support assembly 4 and the rear rail support assembly 5. S5: Check the aircraft's attitude and control the aircraft's launch.
[0046] This application enables the safe launch of an aircraft from a nest through the aforementioned steps. The coordinated operation of each component ensures the stability and safety of the aircraft during launch, while also improving the convenience and efficiency of operation.
