[0038] With reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present application.

[0039] As shown in Figures 1-8 , the rotating shaft assembly comprises a body connecting piece 1, an axial locking end cover 2, a driving rotating shaft 3, a wing connecting piece 4, a locking sleeve 5, a passive rotating shaft 6, and a blocking end cover 7.

The blocking end cover 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the body connecting piece 1 by bolts.

[0040] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , the main body of the body connecting piece 1 is a columnar structure. Four through-hole bosses 1-7 are arranged on one side of the columnar structure along the length direction at intervals. The through-hole bosses 1-7 are provided with through holes, and the through-hole bosses 1-7 are connected to the main body of the aircraft by bolts. A first sleeve, a second sleeve, and a third sleeve are arranged on the other side of the columnar structure along the length direction at intervals. The centers of the three sleeves are on the same straight line, and the connecting line of the three centers is parallel to the columnar structure. A first threaded hole 1-1 is arranged on the top end face of the first sleeve. As shown in Figure 9 , the axial locking end cover 2 is a flange structure as a whole. The cylindrical sleeve of the flange structure is connected in the first sleeve. After the countersunk screw passes through the countersunk screw hole 2-1, the flange is fixedly connected to the top surface of the first sleeve by rotating and connecting the first threaded hole 1-1, so that the axial locking end cover 2 is fixed on the first sleeve. Two round holes are arranged on the cylindrical end face of the axial locking end cover 2, and a first spring 2-3 is arranged in the round hole. A conical pin 2-2 is sleeved and connected in the round hole with one end sliding, and the other end protrudes from the cylinder and contacts the end face of the driving rotating shaft 3. The conical pin 2-2 is a cylindrical structure with one end closed, and the open end faces the round hole of the end face of the locking end cover 2. One end of the first spring 2-3 is connected to the bottom surface of the round hole, and the other end is connected to the inner bottom surface of the round hole of the conical pin 2-2. Two axial pin holes 3-1 are correspondingly arranged on the end face of the driving rotating shaft 3. When the driving rotating shaft 3 is rotated in place, the conical pin 2-2 is inserted into the axial pin hole 3-1 under the elastic force of the first spring 2-3 to lock the driving rotating shaft 3.

[0041] The second sleeve is provided with a radial pin hole 1-3 and a process hole 1-4 on both sides of the center, and the process hole 1-4 is located outside the radial pin hole 1-3, and the axis of the radial pin hole 1-3 coincides with the process hole 1-4. The process hole 1-4 is used to pop out the bidirectional elastic pin 3-4 through the fine needle after the driving rotation shaft 3 is locked, so as to realize the repeated use of multiple locking. The bidirectional elastic pin 3-4 is arranged in the pin hole on the driving rotation shaft 3 and can slide in the pin hole. Specifically, as shown in Figure 4 , the bidirectional elastic pin 3-4 includes two sleeve-shaped second conical pins 3-4-1 with one end closed and one second spring 3-4-2.

The fourth sleeve and the fifth sleeve are concentrically and spaced apart, and both sleeves are connected to one side of the columnar structure, and the other side of the columnar structure is connected to four connecting parts 4-3. The connecting part 4-3 is fixedly connected to the wing of the aircraft by bolts, so that the wing connecting piece 4 is fixedly connected to the wing of the aircraft. The driving rotation shaft 3 is arranged in the wing connecting piece 4, one end of which is connected to the fourth sleeve, and the other end extends into the first sleeve through the fifth sleeve and contacts the first conical pin 2-2. As shown in Figure 3 , the driving rotation shaft 3 is provided with two connecting keys 3-2, which are clamped in the key grooves of the fourth sleeve and the fifth sleeve, so as to connect the driving rotation shaft 3 and the wing connecting piece 4 together, so that they can rotate synchronously. The driving torsional spring 3-3 is arranged on the driving rotation shaft 3, one end of the driving torsional spring 3-3 is connected to the torsional spring clamping groove 3-5 on the driving rotation shaft 3, and the other end is connected to the columnar structure of the body connecting piece 1. The driving torsional spring 3-3 can rotate the driving rotation shaft 3 relative to the body connecting piece 1, so as to drive the wing connecting piece 4 to rotate relative to the body connecting piece 1, thereby completing the rotating folding and unfolding action of the wing of the aircraft.

[0044] As shown in Figures 7-8As shown, the fourth sleeve of the wing connecting member 4 is further provided with a third spring 4-2, one end of the third spring 4-2 is connected to the fourth sleeve, and the other end is abutted against one end face of the passive rotating shaft 6 which is arranged in the fourth sleeve as a whole. The other end face of the passive rotating shaft 6 is abutted against one end face of the locking sleeve 5, the other end of the locking sleeve 5 extends into the third sleeve of the body connecting member 1, and the bottom end face of the third sleeve is provided with a second threaded hole 1-6, and the blocking end cover 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the third sleeve by bolts to block the locking sleeve 5. Thus, one end of the locking sleeve 5 is in the fourth sleeve of the wing connecting member 4 and can rotate relative to the fourth sleeve, and the other end is in the third sleeve of the body connecting member 1 and is fixedly connected to the body connecting member 1.

[0045] A boss slider 6-1 is arranged along the length direction of the passive rotating shaft 6, and the boss slider 6-1 is a fan-shaped boss protruding from the side face of the passive rotating shaft 6. The fourth sleeve is further provided with a fan-shaped groove 4-4 along the length direction of the axis, and when the passive rotating shaft 6 is placed in the fourth sleeve, the boss slider 6-1 is clamped in the fan-shaped groove 4-4. Thus, the passive rotating shaft 6 can rotate synchronously with the wing connecting member 4. The outer side face of the locking sleeve 5 is provided with a through-hole boss 5-1, and the bolt is screwed with the threaded through-hole 1-5 on the body connecting member 1 after passing through the through-hole boss 5-1, so that the locking sleeve 5 is fixedly connected to the body connecting member 1. The end of the locking sleeve 5 in contact with the passive rotating shaft 6 is also provided with a fan-shaped groove, and the boss slider 6-1 can be clamped in the fan-shaped groove of the locking sleeve 5.

[0046] When the wing is in the initial folding state, the entire mechanism cannot be freely unfolded in the cabin or in the initial locking structure, the wing connecting member 4 and the body connecting member 1 form a 90° angle, the third spring 4-2 is in a compressed state, the end face of the passive rotating shaft 6 is abutted together with the end face of the locking sleeve 5, the second spring 3-4-2 is in a compressed state, the bidirectional elastic pin 3-4 is compressed in the driving rotating shaft 3, the first spring 2-3 is in a compressed state, the first conical pin 2-2 is compressed in the axial locking end cover 2, and the driving torsional spring 3-3 is in a torsional state.

[0047] When the wing is unfolded, the main rotating shaft 3 is automatically rotated under the elastic force of the driving torsion spring 3-3, the main rotating shaft 3 drives the wing connecting piece 4 to rotate, the wing connecting piece 4 drives the passive rotating shaft 6 to rotate, of course, the wing is also rotated and unfolded. When the main rotating shaft 3 rotates to a proper angle, the first conical pin 2-2 is aligned with the axial pin hole 3-1, the first spring 2-3 pushes the first conical pin 2-2 into the axial pin hole 3-1, the main rotating shaft 3 and the body connecting piece 1 complete the first locking, that is, the wing connecting piece 4 and the body connecting piece 1 complete the first locking; at the same time, the bidirectional elastic pin 3-4 is aligned with the radial pin hole 1-3, under the elastic force of the second spring 3-4-3, the bidirectional elastic pin 3-4 extends into the radial pin hole 1-3, the main rotating shaft 3 and the body connecting piece 1 complete the second locking, that is, the wing connecting piece 4 and the body connecting piece 1 complete the second locking; at the same time, the boss slider 6-1 is aligned with the fan-shaped groove at the end of the locking sleeve 5, the third spring 4-2 is elongated, the passive rotating shaft 6 is driven to move, the boss slider 6-1 slides along the fan-shaped groove of the fourth sleeve, a part of the boss slider 6-1 is clamped into the fan-shaped groove at the end of the locking sleeve 5, the clamping and locking of the passive rotating shaft 6 and the locking sleeve 5 is completed, because a part of the boss slider 6-1 is also clamped in the fan-shaped groove of the fourth sleeve of the wing connecting piece 4, so the third locking of the wing connecting piece 4 and the body connecting piece 1 is also completed. In the embodiment, the angle between the wing connecting piece 4 and the body connecting piece 1 is 90° when the wing is folded, as shown in Figure 1 The angle between the wing connecting piece 4 and the body connecting piece 1 is 180° when the wing is unfolded, as shown in Figure 10 To ensure the angle after unfolding, a stopper can be arranged on the wing connecting piece 4, and the stopper is abutted against the body connecting piece 1 to complete the limiting when the wing connecting piece 4 rotates to the position.

[0048] In addition, in order to facilitate the connection of the driving torsion spring 3-3 in the assembly process, the fourth sleeve and the fifth sleeve are both cut by a part, and the missing part is blocked by the process cover 8 after the driving torsion spring 3-3 is installed. In order to facilitate the installation of the locking sleeve 5, the third sleeve needs to be cut a notch to facilitate the connection of the through-hole boss 5-1 and the threaded through-hole 1-5. When the rotating shaft 3 is assembled, it is inserted from the first sleeve, and in order to facilitate the assembly of the rotating shaft 3, the inner walls of the first sleeve and the second sleeve are both processed with key grooves 1-2 to facilitate the connection of the key 3-2.

[0049] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this, any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and the inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
