Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aircraft flaps, in particular to a large swept-angle flap driving mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In order to increase the maximum lift coefficient, improve the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft, reduce the stall speed at high angles of attack, and reduce the take-off and landing distances, various forms of trailing edge flaps are used in aircraft design. Among them, single-slotted flaps are the most widely used in small aircraft and drones as a simple trailing edge flap. Usually, single-slotted flaps achieve backward translation and downward rotation through an articulated connecting rod or a slide rail mechanism. However, the current flap design can usually only be retracted and extended in a direction perpendicular to the trailing edge of the wing, such as Fig.10 As shown in (a) and 10(b), this flap design has little effect on the aerodynamic lift-enhancing effect when used on straight wings or wings with a small sweep angle. However, if used on high-speed wings with a large sweep angle, the aerodynamic loss is large and the lift-enhancing effect is not obvious. Generally, the aerodynamic loss caused by the large sweep angle can only be compensated by increasing the length or area of ​​the flap. Summary of the invention

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, according to a specific embodiment of the present invention, a large swept-angle flap drive mechanism is provided, which includes: a steering gear assembly, a driving shaft 3, a shaft support 4, a rocker arm 5, a fixed link 6, a supporting link 7 and a link support 8, wherein one end of the steering gear assembly is fixedly connected to the fuselage, and the other end is rotatably connected to the driving shaft 3; the driving shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the shaft support 4; the shaft support 4 is fixedly connected to the fuselage to support the driving shaft 3; the rocker arm 5 is rotatably connected to the driving shaft 3 and the fixed link 6 respectively; the fixed link 6 is fixedly connected to the flap assembly 200; the two ends of the supporting link 7 are rotatably connected to the fixed link 6 and the link support 8 respectively; the link support 8 is fixedly connected to the fuselage to support the supporting link 7; wherein, the large swept-angle flap drive mechanism drives the driving shaft 3 to rotate through the extension and retraction of the steering gear assembly, and realizes the retraction and extension of the flap assembly 200 parallel to the heading through the four-bar linkage mechanism of the driving shaft 3, the rocker arm 5, the fixed link 6 and the supporting link 7.

[0032] By applying this configuration, a large swept-angle flap driving mechanism is provided, which drives the driving shaft 3 to rotate through the extension and retraction of the servo assembly, and realizes the retraction and extension of the flap assembly 200 parallel to the heading through the four-bar linkage mechanism of the driving shaft 3, the rocker arm 5, the fixed connecting rod 6 and the supporting connecting rod 7. Compared with the existing flap retracting and extending mechanism with a slide rail structure, the flap driving mechanism of the present invention can be fixed at the trailing edge position of the large swept-angle wing, has a simple structure, high reliability, avoids the risk of the slide rail being stuck due to uneven force during the retraction and extension process, and occupies less space.

[0033] Further, in the present invention, if Figure 1 As shown, in order to realize the driving of the driving shaft 3 by the servo assembly, the servo assembly can be configured to include a servo support 1 and a linear servo 2, the servo support 1 is fixedly connected to the fuselage, and the linear servo 2 is rotatably connected to the servo support 1 and the driving shaft 3 respectively.

[0034] By applying this configuration, the flap retraction and extension process can be limited only by the stroke of the linear servo 2. During the flight of the aircraft, the flap assembly 200 is in the retracted state, the flap assembly 200 fits the wing perfectly, and the aerodynamic load is transmitted to the linear servo 2 through the four-bar linkage of the drive shaft 3, the rocker arm 5, the fixed connecting rod 6 and the supporting connecting rod 7. The linear servo 2 has a screw connecting rod mechanism inside, which has a self-locking function and is used to bear the aerodynamic load when the flap is in the retracted state. During the take-off or landing process of the aircraft, the linear servo 2 extends under the electric or hydraulic drive, driving the drive shaft 3 to rotate, so as to realize the retraction and extension of the flap assembly 200 parallel to the heading.

[0035] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the linear servo 2 can be hingedly connected to the servo support 1 and the driving shaft 3. For example, a hinge connection shaft can be used to realize the hinge connection.

[0036] Further, in the present invention, if Figure 2 As shown, in order to realize the linkage between the driving shaft 3, the rocker arm 5 and the fixed connecting rod 6, the large swept-angle flap driving mechanism can be configured to also include a first hinge connecting shaft 9 and a first ball joint connecting shaft 10. The rocker arm 5 is hingedly connected to the driving shaft 3 through the first hinge connecting shaft 9, and the first hinge connecting shaft 9 is perpendicular to the axis of the driving shaft 3; the rocker arm 5 is ball-jointedly connected to the fixed connecting rod 6 through the first ball joint connecting shaft 10.

[0037] With this configuration, during the take-off or landing of the aircraft, due to the four-bar connection, under the rotation of the driving shaft 3, the rocker arm 5 moves in space, rotating around the axis of the driving shaft 3 on the one hand, and rotating around the hinge connection axis on the other hand. Figure 2 As shown by the middle arrow, under the rotation of the rocker arm 5, the fixed link 6 moves backward along the heading.

[0038] Further, in the present invention, if Figure 3 As shown, in order to realize the linkage between the fixed link 6 and the supporting link 7, the large swept-angle flap drive mechanism can be configured to also include a second hinge connecting shaft 11 and a second ball joint connecting shaft 12. The fixed link 6 is hingedly connected to the supporting link 7 through the second hinge connecting shaft 11, and the supporting link 7 is ball-jointedly connected to the link support 8 through the second ball joint connecting shaft 12.

[0039] With this configuration, the support link 7 moves in space around the second ball joint connection axis 12 under the rotation of the fixed link 6. The fixed link 6 moves backward along the heading under the rotation of the rocker arm 5, and at the same time, due to the rotation of the support link 7, the fixed link 6 moves backward and downward along the heading. The fixed link 6 is fixedly connected to the flap assembly 200. Under the constraints of the support link 7 and the rocker arm 5, the flap assembly 200 moves backward and downward along the heading, and rotates downward, as shown in FIG. Figures 4 to 6 shown.

[0040] When the flap assembly 200 reaches the specified position under the drive of the linear servo 2 and the flap is in the lowered state, the aerodynamic force it receives is significantly greater than that in the retracted state. At this time, the fixed link 6 and the rocker arm 5 are just in line and are subject to tension. The fixed link 6, the rocker arm 5, the supporting link 7 and the support form a triangular stable structure, which can bear the aerodynamic load alone, and the linear servo 2 is no longer subjected to force.

[0041] Furthermore, in the present invention, in order to improve the stability of the drive shaft 3 during the flap movement, the number of the configurable shaft supports 4 can be set to be multiple, for example, two or three, etc., to improve the stable support of the drive shaft 3. Figure 1 As shown, two rotating shaft supports 4 may be provided, and the two rotating shaft supports 4 are rotatably connected to the two ends of the driving rotating shaft 3 respectively.

[0042] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the driving shaft 3 and the shaft support 4 can also be connected by a hinge to achieve the rotation of the driving shaft 3 along the shaft axis.

[0043] Furthermore, in the present invention, in order to further improve the stability of the flap during movement, the number of the rocker arm 5, the fixed link 6, the support link 7 and the link support 8 can be configured to be multiple, and the rocker arm 5, the fixed link 6, the support link 7 and the link support 8 are arranged one by one.

[0044] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the number of the rocker arm 5, the fixed connecting rod 6, the supporting connecting rod 7 and the connecting rod support 8 can be two. The driving shaft, the two rocker arms 5, the two fixed connecting rods 6 and the two supporting connecting rods 7 form two groups of four-bar linkages.

[0045] Further, in the present invention, in order to facilitate the linear servo 2 to control the rotation of the driving shaft 3, the driving shaft 3 may be configured to include a shaft body 32 and an ear piece 31, one end of the ear piece 31 is rotatably connected to the linear servo 2, and the other end is fixedly connected to the shaft body 32. As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the ear piece 31 and the linear servo 2 may be connected by a hinge.

[0046] In the present invention, the hinge connection axis only allows the two connected parts to rotate relative to each other in the same plane, that is, there is one degree of freedom; while the ball joint connection axis allows the two connected parts to rotate relative to each other in space, that is, there are three degrees of freedom.

[0047] The large swept-back flap drive mechanism of the present invention realizes the backward and downward translation parallel to the heading direction and realizes the small-angle downward rotation through two sets of simple four-bar linkages. Fig. 9 (a) and Fig. 9 Compared with the existing flap retracting and extending mechanism with a slide rail structure, the four-link structure of the present invention is simple, highly reliable, avoids the risk of slide rail jamming due to uneven force during the retracting and extending process, and occupies less space.

[0048] In order to have a further understanding of the present invention, the large swept-angle flap driving mechanism of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, according to a specific embodiment of the present invention, a large swept angle flap drive mechanism is provided, comprising a steering gear assembly, a driving shaft 3, two shaft supports 4, two rocker arms 5, two fixed connecting rods 6, two supporting connecting rods 7, two connecting rod supports 8, a first hinge connecting shaft 9, a first ball joint connecting shaft 10, a second hinge connecting shaft 11 and a second ball joint connecting shaft 12. The two shaft supports 4, the two rocker arms 5, the two fixed connecting rods 6, the two supporting connecting rods 7, the two connecting rod supports 8 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and form two groups of four-bar mechanisms with the driving shaft 3.

[0050] The servo assembly comprises a servo support 1 and a linear servo 2. The servo support 1 is fixedly connected to the fuselage, and the linear servo 2 is rotatably connected to the servo support 1 and the ear piece 31 of the driving shaft 3 respectively.

[0051] During the flight of the aircraft, the linear actuator 2 is in a shortened and self-locking state, the flap assembly 200 is in a retracted state, the flap assembly 200 is in a good fit with the wing, and the aerodynamic load is transmitted to the linear actuator 2 through the four-bar linkage of the drive shaft 3, the rocker arm 5, the fixed link 6 and the support link 7. During the take-off or landing process of the aircraft, the linear actuator 2 is extended by electric or hydraulic drive, such as Figure 2 As shown, the driving shaft 3 is driven to rotate clockwise.

[0052] The rocker arm 5 is hinged to the driving shaft 3 via a first hinge connection shaft 9, and the first hinge connection shaft 9 is perpendicular to the axis of the driving shaft 3; the rocker arm 5 is spherically connected to the fixed connecting rod 6 via a first spherical joint connection shaft 10. The fixed connecting rod 6 is hinged to the supporting connecting rod 7 via a second hinge connection shaft 11, and the supporting connecting rod 7 is spherically connected to the connecting rod support 8 via a second spherical joint connection shaft 12.

[0053] The steering gear support 1, the shaft support 4 and the connecting rod support 8 are fixed on the body structure and remain stationary during the entire movement of the flap.

[0054] During takeoff or landing of the aircraft, the rocker arm 5 rotates around the first hinge shaft 9, and the driving shaft 3 drives the rocker arm 5 to rotate clockwise, thereby pushing the fixed link 6 to move backward along the heading. Under the restraint of the supporting link 7 and the rocker arm 5, the flap assembly 200 moves backward and downward along the heading and rotates downward.

[0055] When the flap assembly 200 reaches the specified position under the drive of the linear servo 2 and the flap is in the lowered state, the fixed link 6 and the rocker arm 5 are just in line and are subject to tension. The fixed link 6, the rocker arm 5, the supporting link 7 and the support form a triangular stable structure, and the linear servo 2 is not subjected to force.

[0056] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. If not otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
