A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.
[0023] The following describes the first embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 The arm construction method of the present application includes the following steps:
[0024] S1: The arm body 1 and the direction control part 2 are connected as one body, wherein the direction control part 2 extends outward and presents a structure that gradually shrinks along a first direction, and the direction control part (2) includes a streamlined surface structure to reduce the air resistance of the aircraft during flight.
[0025] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the arm construction method of the first embodiment of the present application is applied to an aircraft, and the arm includes: an arm body 1 and a direction control part 2. The arm body 1 includes a front end part 11, a middle end part 12 and a rear end part 13, and the arm construction method includes: connecting the rear end part 13 of the arm body 1 with the direction control part 2 as a whole. However, it can be understood that the direction control part 2 can also be connected to other parts, such as the middle end part 12. The arm includes a plurality of transverse support beams 14 and a plurality of vertical support beams 15 inside, which are used to support the arm body 1, and some support beams 14 and support beams 15 are interwoven with each other to enhance the structural strength of the arm. The direction control part 2 includes a first part 21 and a second part 22, and the first part 21 is a stabilizer part. The above-mentioned arm construction method specifically includes: connecting the first part 21 with the arm body 1 as a whole, wherein the second part 22 is a movable part and can rotate freely around the first part 21 to control the air flow passing through the surface of the first part 21 when the aircraft is flying, thereby adjusting the flight direction of the aircraft. The direction control part 2 can be used as a vertical tail connected to the aircraft arm. A servo can be installed inside the first part 21. The second part 22 is used as a rudder surface that can rotate left and right. It is controlled by the servo in the stabilizer part to achieve left and right rotation, thereby adjusting the direction of the airflow. The first direction is the direction away from the arm body 1. Preferably, the first direction is perpendicular to the direction of the aircraft. The vertical tail gradually shrinks in the direction away from the arm body 1, and the windward side of at least one side presents a streamlined surface structure to reduce the air resistance of the aircraft during flight. In addition, the direction control part 2 extends downward and its thickness direction gradually decreases. Preferably, the arm body 1 and the direction control part 2 are both made of carbon fiber. The carbon fiber material also has excellent mechanical properties and thermal expansion coefficient, can withstand extreme environments such as high temperature, high pressure and mechanical vibration, and the weight is also very conducive to the lightweight design of the aircraft. Before step S1, step S0 is also included: splicing two parts of carbon fiber shells up and down to form an arm body 1, wherein the two parts of carbon fiber shells are the upper shell part and the lower shell part of the arm body 1 respectively, splicing the two parts of carbon fiber shells left and right to form a direction control part 2, wherein the two parts of carbon fiber shells are the left shell part and the right shell part of the direction control part 2 respectively, and finally bonding the arm body 1 and the direction control part 2 together as a whole. In this way, the composite material processing is maximized and the production cost is reduced while ensuring the strength of the fuselage. The integral molding connection between the arm body and the vertical tail can improve the stiffness of the vertical tail stabilizer, reduce the number of large components installed in the field, and the positioning structure and locking structure required for installing the vertical tail can also be omitted, reducing the risk of loosening, reducing weight, and eliminating the cost of related parts.
[0026] Further, the middle end portion 12 includes a wing assembly notch 3, the wing assembly notch 3 includes inclined portions 31 on both sides and a transverse portion 32 in the middle, and the wing assembly notch 3 is used to cooperate with the fuselage. Further, the arm also includes an arm opening 5, the arm opening 5 is connected to the inside of the arm, and the port of the arm opening 5 is provided with a bowl-shaped structure that expands outward, the rotor motor of the aircraft enters the inside of the arm through the arm opening 5, and the centrifugal fan on the upper part of the rotor motor enters the bowl-shaped structure of the arm opening 5 (and is exposed outside the arm at the same time), but is not exposed on the windward surface, thereby ensuring the streamline of the windward surface and avoiding the airflow resistance caused by the centrifugal fan being exposed to the arm. Further, the cross-sections of each position of the arm body 1 are in the shape of an inverted water drop, especially the cross-sections of the positions on both sides of the arm motor are in the shape of an inverted water drop, the wind flow generated by the arm motor can go down along the water drop shape, and the water drop shape can avoid the generation of vortices under the arm, thereby causing unnecessary arm vibration.
[0027] The second embodiment of the present application also provides an aircraft, such as Figure 4 As shown, it includes a fuselage 4 and the above-mentioned arm, and the arm is assembled on the fuselage 4. The arm body and the vertical tail of the aircraft in the embodiment of the present application are integrally connected, which can improve the rigidity of the vertical tail stabilizer, reduce the number of large components installed in the field, and the positioning structure and locking structure required for installing the vertical tail can also be omitted, reducing the risk of loosening, reducing weight, and saving related parts costs.
[0028] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present application. Anyone familiar with the technology may modify or change the above embodiments without violating the purpose of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by a person with ordinary knowledge in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose disclosed in the present application shall still be covered by the claims of the present application.
