Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of novel unmanned aerial vehicles, and relates to a patrol unmanned aerial vehicle with stacked folding wings provided with a trailing edge rudder surface. Background Art
[0002] Patrol UAV is a new type of UAV, with the main features of cruising flight mode, rapid response / rapid launch, low cost, high efficiency and flexible use. Patrol UAVs are generally stored and launched in a launch tube to achieve rapid launch, and for this purpose, a foldable and unfoldable wing design is generally adopted. The wing folding and unfolding mechanism and structure are one of the key technologies of patrol UAVs and have a significant impact on the performance of patrol UAV platforms. The design of the wing folding and unfolding mechanism and structure is quite difficult, and it is even more difficult for special layouts (such as the front wing and the rear wing are both installed on the upper or lower side of the fuselage) and wings with trailing edge rudders. Patrol UAV manufacturers in various countries around the world have developed their own wing folding and unfolding mechanism and structural design schemes when developing patrol UAV products, and some manufacturers and individuals have applied for patents for the wing folding and unfolding mechanism and structural design. However, research on patrol UAV platforms with special layouts, especially stacked folding wings with trailing edge rudders, is still insufficient. Summary of the invention

Specifically:
[0005] The fuselage connection structure is a hollow cylinder, which is used to fix the entire stacked folding wing with the main fuselage. A platform is symmetrically arranged at the bottom or top of the fuselage connection structure according to the central symmetry plane of the fuselage as a horizontal bottom plate. A cylindrical protruding mounting pipe shaft is formed at the center of the horizontal bottom plate. The inner wall of the mounting pipe shaft is formed with a thread for cooperating with the thread of the clamping nut.

It is sleeved on the mounting tube axis 11 of the fuselage connection structure 1, and the two ends are fixedly connected by matching the central arm of the torsion spring 6 with the mounting hole on the bottom surface of the cylindrical recess.
[0033] The locking device 5 is a long strip leaf spring and two tapered pins. The two ends of the long strip leaf spring are connected with holes. The lower parts of the two tapered pins are small-sized cylinders, which are respectively connected with the two connecting holes through interference fit and are fixedly connected to form a whole by welding or screwing. The long strip leaf spring is fixed on the fixed stopper 13 of the fuselage connection structure 1, which is horizontally symmetrically arranged along the symmetry center plane. The two tapered pins are respectively matched with the tapered holes on the inner end faces of the movable stoppers on the two half wings to achieve the locking of the two half wings in the deployed position. At the end of the half-wing deployment stroke, the tapered pin enters the entrance section of the slope surface at the bottom of the guide groove inside the tapered hole, the end face of the tapered pin contacts the slope surface of the guide groove and slides upward along the slope to generate an extrusion force, the leaf spring deforms backward under the action of the extrusion force, and the two half-wings continue to rotate until the tapered pin passes the top of the slope surface and is inserted into the tapered hole under the elastic force of the leaf spring.

The stackable folding wing of a patrol drone with a trailing edge control surface according to claim 2, characterized in that: A guide groove is formed on the inner side of the tapered hole of the movable stopper, and the slope surface at the bottom of the guide groove has a specific slope angle. At the end of the half-wing unfolding stroke, the tapered pin of the locker (5) enters the entrance section of the slope surface at the bottom of the guide groove inside the tapered hole, and the end face of the tapered pin contacts the slope surface of the guide groove and slides upward along the slope to generate an extrusion force. The leaf spring deforms backward under the action of the extrusion force, and the two half-wings continue to rotate until the tapered pin passes the top of the slope surface and is inserted into the tapered hole under the action of the elastic force of the leaf spring. The tapered pin cooperates with the tapered hole to lock the two wings in the unfolded position. At this time, the end face of the movable stopper of the wing root joint of the two half-wings contacts the fixed stopper (13) of the fuselage connection structure (1).
