Description

Technical Field

[0002] The control surface refers to the aerodynamic wing surface that uses deflection in the airflow to generate missile balance and control force to control the flight of the missile. It is also called the control surface. The control surface is the control surface of the aircraft, which is generally in three directions. The horizontal direction is called the elevator, which is the horizontal tail, responsible for controlling the rise and fall of the aircraft. The vertical direction is called the rudder, which is generally on the vertical tail and is responsible for controlling the heading of the aircraft. The tilt direction is called the aileron, which is generally at the end of the aircraft wing and is responsible for controlling the tilt of the aircraft.

[0003] At present, the rudder assembly process of UAV is as follows: first, the rudder skeleton is positioned and assembled on the assembly tooling, and then the rudder skeleton is placed in the rudder skin mold to complete the mold closing of the upper skin, lower skin and rudder skeleton of the rudder. After the rudder skeleton is positioned and assembled on the assembly tooling, it still needs to be positioned on the rudder skin mold to match the position of the rudder skin, which results in repeated positioning problems. Moreover, when the rudder skin mold is closed, the assembly status of the rudder cannot be observed, which may easily lead to quality problems such as stress deformation of the rudder surface and the presence of excess materials after closing.

After the assembly of the rudder skeleton is completed, the rudder skin upper mold 10 and the rudder skin lower mold 20 are molded together, so that the rudder surface upper skin, the rudder surface lower skin and the rudder skeleton are assembled. Since the visualization device for the matching mold of the unmanned aerial vehicle rudder assembly can complete the assembly of the rudder skeleton and the molding of the rudder skeleton and the rudder skin, the process flow is simplified and the production efficiency is improved.

[0032] In addition, during the mold closing process, the avoidance observation port 41 allows the user to observe the upper skin of the rudder surface, the lower skin of the rudder surface, the rudder surface frame and the rudder surface, thereby realizing visualization of the mold closing, facilitating the discovery of rudder surface deformation problems during the mold closing process, and facilitating the discovery and removal of excess debris, thereby effectively improving the assembly quality of the rudder surface. After the mold closing is completed, the edge of the rudder surface can also be observed through the avoidance observation port 41 to confirm the mold closing quality.

[0033] In some optional embodiments, avoidance observation ports 41 are provided on the front, left and right sides of the assembly cavity 40. Based on the shape of the rudder surface, the upper skin of the rudder surface and the lower skin of the rudder surface are spaced apart from each other at a large distance on the front, left and right sides of the assembly cavity 40, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the avoidance observation ports 41. Since the interior of the assembly cavity 40 can be observed from multiple sides, the mold quality can be observed conveniently.

[0034] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some optional embodiments, the rudder surface skin upper mold 10 includes an upper mold bracket 11 and an upper module 12 arranged at the bottom of the upper mold bracket 11; the rudder surface skin lower mold 20 includes a lower mold bracket 21 and a lower module 22 arranged at the top of the lower mold bracket 21.

[0041] In some optional embodiments, the rudder surface skin lower mold 20 and / or the rudder surface skin upper mold 10 are provided with rubber pads for contacting with the skin of the drone rudder surface, the rubber pads are located in the assembly cavity 40, and the rubber pads have a certain elasticity. The rubber pads of the rudder surface skin upper mold 10 can be used to protect the rudder surface skin and improve the appearance quality of the rudder surface skin after mold closing, and the rubber pads of the rudder surface skin lower mold 20 can be used to protect the rudder surface lower skin and improve the appearance quality of the rudder surface lower skin after mold closing. The thickness of the rubber pad can be controlled between 0.05mm-0.2mm, so that the thickness of the rubber pad should not be too thick, because the stress at different positions of the rudder surface is different. If the rubber pad is too thick, it will cause the rubber pad to be excessively deformed at the position where it is subjected to greater force, resulting in unevenness of the rubber pad, affecting the appearance quality of the skin after mold closing.
