[0035] In the following, only some exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, the described embodiments may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the drawings and descriptions are considered to be exemplary and non-restrictive in nature.

[0036] Embodiment 1:

[0037] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a semi-folding wing automatic unfolding locking device, including a fuselage wing 1, a folding wing 2, a hinge mechanism 3, a first locking mechanism 4 and a second locking mechanism 5. The folding wing 2 is hinged to the fuselage wing 1, and the folding wing 2 can rotate relative to the hinge between the folding wing 2 and the fuselage wing 1. The hinge mechanism 3 includes a hinge shaft 31 and a hinge torsion spring 32, and the folding wing 2 is hinged to the fuselage wing 1 through the hinge shaft 31. The hinge torsion spring 32 is sleeved on the hinge shaft 31, and the hinge torsion spring 32 is connected to the folding wing 2 and the fuselage wing 1. When the folding wing 2 is in a folded state relative to the fuselage wing 1, the hinge torsion spring 32 is in a deformed state. The first locking mechanism 4 is arranged on the fuselage wing 1; the second locking mechanism 5 is arranged on the folding wing 2, and the first locking mechanism 4 is movably connected to the second locking mechanism 5. When the folding wing 2 is unfolded relative to the fuselage wing 1, the first locking mechanism 4 and the second locking mechanism 5 are in a locked state.

[0038] Since the fuselage wing 1 and the folding wing 2 are hinged by the hinge mechanism 3, the semi-folding wing can be stored and launched in a launch box with a small width and regular shape in the folded state, which is convenient for storage and transportation. Since the hinge mechanism 3 includes a hinge shaft 31 and a hinge torsion spring 32, and the hinge torsion spring 32 is in a deformed state when the folding wing 2 is folded relative to the fuselage wing 1, the folding wing 2 can be automatically unfolded by the torque of the hinge torsion spring 32 after the semi-folding wing is launched from the launch box, and no additional power is required. After the folding wing 2 is unfolded, the first locking mechanism 4 and the second locking mechanism 5 are in a locked state, so that the folding wing 2 can be locked with the fuselage wing 1 to prevent the folding wing 2 from folding again.

[0039] In one embodiment, in order to realize the hinge connection between the folding wing 2 and the fuselage wing 1, the hinge mechanism 3 further includes a first hinge blade 33 and a second hinge blade 34, and the first hinge blade 33 and the second hinge blade 34 are both hinged to the hinge shaft 31. The first hinge blade 33 is connected to the fuselage wing 1, and the second hinge blade 34 is connected to the folding wing 2. Specifically, the first hinge blade 33 and the second hinge blade 34 are both penetrated on the hinge shaft 31, and the first hinge blade 33 and the fuselage wing 1 can be connected by screws, and the second hinge blade 34 and the folding wing 2 can also be connected by screws.

[0040] The number of the hinged torsion springs 32 can be two, and the two hinged torsion springs 32 are located between the two first hinged blades 33. One of the torsion arms of the hinged torsion spring 32 abuts against the side of the fuselage wing 1, and the other torsion arm of the hinged torsion spring 32 abuts against the side of the folding wing 2. In other embodiments, the hinged torsion spring 32 can also be connected to the fuselage wing 1 and the folding wing 2 by other means such as a card slot, and the specific connection method is not limited.

[0041] When the folding wing 2 needs to be folded, an external force is applied to rotate the folding wing 2 relative to the hinge shaft 31 toward the fuselage wing 1, and the folding wing 2 drives a torsion arm of the hinge torsion spring 32 to rotate, thereby deforming the hinge torsion spring 32. When the half-folded wing is launched from the launch box, the folding wing 2 is driven to unfold under the action of the hinge torsion spring 32, and the hinge torsion spring 32 is reset to a free state.

[0042] In one embodiment, after the folding wing 2 is unfolded, in order to achieve the locking of the folding wing 2 and the fuselage wing 1, the first locking mechanism 4 includes a locking body 41 and a locking tongue assembly 42. The locking tongue assembly 42 is rotatably connected to the locking body 41, and the second locking mechanism 5 is a U-bolt, and the locking tongue assembly 42 has a locking position 421, and the U-bolt is locked after entering the locking position 421. The U-bolt is threadedly connected to the folding wing 2.

[0043] Specifically, the locking tongue assembly 42 includes a first locking tongue 422 and a second locking tongue 423, and the locking position 421 is located on the first locking tongue 422. A locking insertion groove 411 is provided on the locking body 41, and the U-shaped bolt enters the locking position 421 after being inserted into the locking insertion groove 411. After the U-shaped bolt enters the locking position 421, it drives the first locking tongue 422 to rotate, and after the U-shaped bolt moves to the bottom of the locking insertion groove 411, the first locking tongue 422 and the second locking tongue 423 are locked.

[0044] In order to achieve the locking of the first locking tongue 422 and the second locking tongue 423, a first fastener 43 and a second fastener 44 are installed on the locking body 41. The first fastener 43 and the second fastener 44 are respectively located on both sides of the locking insertion groove 411, and the first locking tongue 422 is rotatably connected to the first fastener 43, and the second locking tongue 423 is rotatably connected to the second fastener 44. The first fastener 43 is sleeved with a first locking torsion spring 45, and the first locking torsion spring 45 is connected to the locking body 41 and the first locking tongue 422; the second fastener 44 is sleeved with a second locking torsion spring 46, and the second locking torsion spring 46 is connected to the locking body 41 and the second locking tongue 423. When the first locking torsion spring 45 is in a free state, the first locking tongue 422 and the second locking tongue 423 are against each other, and the second locking torsion spring 46 is in a deformed state.

[0045] The first locking tongue 422 has a first locking portion 4221 , and the second locking tongue 423 has a second locking portion 4231 . The first locking portion 4221 matches with the second locking portion 4231 , and the first locking tongue 422 is locked with the second locking tongue 423 via the first locking portion 4221 and the second locking portion 4231 .

[0046] Specifically, the locking body 41 includes a first lock body 412 and a second lock body 413 that are arranged opposite to each other, and the first fastener 43 and the second fastener 44 are both bolts. The first fastener 43 passes through the first lock body 412 and is threadedly connected to the second lock body 413. Similarly, the second fastener 44 also passes through the first lock body 412 and is threadedly connected to the second lock body 413. In order to achieve the connection between the first lock body 412 and the second lock body 413, the locking body 41 also includes two fixing bolts 414, which are respectively connected to the first lock body 412 and the second lock body 413, thereby further achieving the connection between the first lock body 412 and the second lock body 413.

[0047] A first movable bushing 47 is sleeved on the first fastener 43, a second movable bushing 48 is sleeved on the second fastener 44, the first locking torsion spring 45 and the end of the first lock tongue 422 are sleeved on the first movable bushing 47, and the second locking torsion spring 46 and the end of the second lock tongue 423 are sleeved on the second movable bushing 48. The first locking torsion spring 45 is located between the first lock tongue 422 and the first lock body 412, and the second locking torsion spring 46 is located between the second lock tongue 423 and the second lock body 413.

[0048] In one embodiment, one torsion arm of the first locking tongue 422 is connected to the first lock body 412, and another torsion arm of the first locking tongue 422 is connected to the first locking tongue 422. One torsion arm of the second locking tongue 423 is connected to the first lock body 412, and another torsion arm of the second locking tongue 423 is connected to the second locking tongue 423.

[0049] In one embodiment, fixing holes may be provided on the first lock body 412, the first lock tongue 422, and the second lock tongue 423, and one torsion arm of the first locking torsion spring 45 is inserted into the fixing hole on the first lock body 412 for fixing, and the other torsion arm of the first locking torsion spring 45 is inserted into the fixing hole on the first lock tongue 422 for fixing. One torsion arm of the second locking torsion spring 46 is inserted into the fixing hole on the first lock body 412 for fixing, and the other torsion arm of the second locking torsion spring 46 is inserted into the fixing hole on the first lock tongue 422 for fixing. The connection method between the first locking torsion spring 45 and the first lock body 412 and the first lock tongue 422, and between the second locking torsion spring 46 and the first lock body 412 and the second lock tongue 423 may be any one, as long as the connection can be achieved, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0050] In order to limit the rotation of the second lock tongue 423, limiting grooves 415 are respectively provided at corresponding positions on the first lock body 412 and the second lock body 413. An unlocking pin 49 is installed on the second lock tongue 423. The unlocking pin 49 is placed in the limiting groove 415 and moves in the limiting groove 415.

[0051] In the initial state of the first locking mechanism 4, the first locking torsion spring 45 is in a free state, and the locking opening of the locking position 421 faces the U-bolt. At this time, the first locking tongue 422 and the second locking tongue 423 are against each other, so that the second locking torsion spring 46 is in a deformed state. In the process of unfolding the folding wing 2 relative to the fuselage wing 1, as the folding wing 2 unfolds, the U-bolt first enters the locking insertion groove 411, and enters the locking position 421 through the locking opening. As the folding wing 2 further unfolds, the U-bolt enters the locking position 421 and drives the first locking tongue 422 to move toward the bottom of the locking insertion groove 411 until the U-bolt enters the bottom of the locking insertion groove 411. At this time, the first locking torsion spring 45 is deformed as the first locking tongue 422 rotates. As the first locking tongue 422 moves, the abutment between the first locking tongue 422 and the second locking tongue 423 is released, and the second locking tongue 423 is driven to rotate under the action of the second locking torsion spring 46. During the rotation of the second locking tongue 423, the second locking portion 4231 enters the first locking portion 4221 to achieve locking. The first locking portion 4221 is a locking groove, and the second locking portion 4231 is a locking protrusion.

[0052] In one embodiment, in order to further lock the folding wing 2 and the fuselage wing 1 in the unfolded state, the semi-folded wing automatic unfolding locking device further includes a magnetic component 6, the magnetic component 6 includes a first magnetic component 61 and a second magnetic component 62, the first magnetic component 61 is fixed on the fuselage wing 1, the second magnetic component 62 is fixed on the folding wing 2, and the first magnetic component 61 and the second magnetic component 62 are attracted to each other. Preferably, the first magnetic component 61 is fixed to the end of the fuselage wing 1 close to the folding wing 2, and the second magnetic component 62 is fixed to the end of the folding wing 2 close to the fuselage wing 1. A magnetic fixing hole is reserved on the fuselage wing 1, and the first magnetic component 61 is fixed in the magnetic fixing hole by gluing. A magnetic fixing hole is also reserved on the folding wing 2, and the second magnetic component 62 is fixed in the magnetic fixing hole by gluing.

[0053] The first magnetic member 61 and the second magnetic member 62 are both high-strength magnets. The first magnetic member 61 and the second magnetic member 62 are fixed to each other by attracting each other through the S pole and the N pole to prevent the unfolding opening of the folding wing 2 from rebounding after colliding with the fuselage wing 1.

[0054] In one embodiment, the folding wing 2 can rotate relative to the hinge axis 31 at an angle of 15 to 180 degrees.

[0055] The semi-folding wing automatic unfolding locking device of the embodiment of the present application can realize the folding of the folding wing 2, so that the aircraft can be placed in a launch box with a small width and regular shape for storage and transportation and launch in the folded state. It is convenient to store and transport, the launching process is simple and fast, and the requirements for the launch site are low. The folding wing 2 and the fuselage wing 1 of the embodiment of the present application are both rigid wings, which solves the problem that the inflatable wing has low strength and rigidity, the entire wing will fail after damage, and it is difficult to repair; the rigid wing is used, and it is easy to arrange the rudder surface and load on the wing. In the embodiment of the present application, the aerodynamic force of the folding wing 2 during the unfolding process always makes the folding wing 2 have a tendency to rotate in the unfolding direction, so the unfolding torque of the spring can realize the unfolding of the wing only in the initial stage of unfolding. After unfolding, the wing is locked, and will no longer fold or vibrate, so it can withstand all the flight functions of conventional fixed-wing drones such as stall and upper wing thrust. The embodiment of the present application reduces the limitation of the wing chord length. The chord length only needs to be less than 1 / 3 of the fuselage width to be applicable. It is suitable for medium and low speed unmanned aerial vehicles. The two wings can be folded symmetrically and popped out symmetrically at the same time without interfering with each other, and the requirements for the flatness of the wings are low.
