Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, specifically to a rapidly deployable attitude adjustment device. Background Technology

[0002] Fixed-wing drone technology is now widely used in fields such as geographic surveying, agricultural monitoring, disaster relief, and emergency response. However, traditional fixed-wing drones have a fixed wing layout, a large turning radius, poor low-speed maneuverability, a large size, poor storage capacity, and are not easy to carry in large numbers. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to address the problems in the technical background and overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a rapidly deployable attitude adjustment device.

[0004] The technical solution of this invention is:

[0005] A rapidly deployable attitude adjustment device is characterized by comprising a rapid deployment device and an attitude adjustment device; the rapid deployment device includes a spring 7 and a push rod 8; the attitude adjustment device includes a wing 2, a shank 3, a horizontal adjustment device 6, and a vertical adjustment device 11; one end of the spring 7 is fixed inside the fuselage 1, and the other end is connected to the push rod 8, which contacts the horizontal adjustment device 6. The horizontal adjustment device 6 is connected to a horizontal adjustment motor 4 fixed inside the fuselage 1 via a spline. The horizontal adjustment device 6 is fixed to one end of the wing 2. When the wing 2 rotates horizontally around the horizontal adjustment motor 4, the horizontal adjustment device 6 pushes the push rod 8 to move. When the wing 2 is fully retracted, the horizontal adjustment device 6 pushes the spring 7 to its maximum compression state. At this time, the pressure of the push rod 8 on the horizontal adjustment device 6 is within the rotational friction circle of the horizontal adjustment device 6, forming a self-locking state. To start, the horizontal adjustment motor 4 rotates one degree, the push rod 8 and the horizontal adjustment device 6 disengage from the self-locking state, the spring 7 pushes the push rod 8 to pop out, and the push rod 8 pushes the horizontal adjustment device 6 to rapidly deploy the wing 2, achieving faster wing deployment than relying solely on the motor. The fuselage 1 is equipped with two independent quick-deployment devices consisting of a right push rod 8 and a spring 7, which can deploy the front and rear wings separately. The fuselage 1 has two cavities: the upper cavity 10-1 stores the folded left front wing 2-3 and right front wing 2-1, and the lower cavity 10-2 stores the folded left rear wing 2-4 and right rear wing 2-2. The vertical adjustment device 11 is located at the other end of the wing 2. A vertical adjustment motor 5 is installed within the vertical adjustment device 11. The vertical adjustment motor 5 is connected to the shank wing 3 via a crankshaft connecting rod 9. The "C"-shaped structure of the crankshaft connecting rod 9 allows the shank wing 3 to rotate 180 degrees in the vertical plane. The upper part of the vertical adjustment device 11 is made of rigid material, while the lower part is made of flexible material to prevent collisions between the wing 2 and the vertical adjustment device 11 during movement.

[0006] After the wing 2 is deployed, the horizontal adjustment motor 4 rotates, driving the horizontal adjustment device 6 to rotate, thereby controlling the sweep angle of the wing 2 and the shank wing 3; the vertical adjustment motor 5 rotates, driving the vertical adjustment device 11 to rotate, thereby controlling the folding angle of the shank wing.

[0007] The wing 2, horizontal adjustment device 6, shank wing 3, and vertical adjustment device 11 form four wings on both sides of the fuselage 1: a right front wing 2-1 at the right front of the fuselage, a right rear wing 2-2 at the right rear, a left front wing 2-3 at the left front, and a left rear wing 2-4 at the left rear. The right front wing 2-1 and the left front wing 2-3 are identical and symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the fuselage 1, with an angle of attack range of 0 to 5 degrees. The right rear wing 2-2 and the left rear wing 2-4 are identical and symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the fuselage 1. The angle of attack is 15 degrees; the average chord length of the right rear wing 2-2 and left rear wing 2-4 is 30% of the average chord length of the right front wing 2-1 and left front wing 2-3; the trailing edge position of the right front wing 2-1 and left front wing 2-3 is 1.5% higher than the average chord length of the right rear wing 2-2 and left rear wing 2-4; when the trailing edges of the right front wing 2-1 and left front wing 2-3 are parallel to the leading edges of the right rear wing 2-2 and left rear wing 2-4, the distance between them is one-thirtieth of the average chord length of the right front wing 2-1 and left front wing 2-3. This configuration facilitates horizontal rotation of the wing 2, while improving the lift-to-drag ratio and reducing the wing area. The wing angle of attack design allows it to generate lift even when tilted forward.

[0008] The trailing edge of the shank wing 3 is arc-shaped; both the shank wing 2 and the shank wing 3 are non-biconvex airfoils. The outer contour of the cross-section of the vertical adjustment device 11 is the same as that of the outer contour of the cross-section of the shank wing 2. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To more clearly illustrate the innovative concept of this application, the design and implementation details will be further explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "inner side," "top," "left side," "bottom," "both sides," "one end," "the other end," and "middle," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "setting," "connection," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] During retraction, the wing 2 is manually rotated. When the wing 2 rotates, it drives the horizontal adjustment device 6 to rotate, which pushes the push rod 8 to compress the spring 7, folding it into the airframe cavity. When the wing 2 retracts, the spring 7, the push rod 8 and the horizontal adjustment device 6 reach a self-locking state, completing the wing recovery.

[0023] When wing deployment is required, the horizontal adjustment motor 4 rotates one degree, breaking the self-locking state between the spring 7, push rod 8, and horizontal adjustment device 6. The spring 7 pushes the push rod 8 out, which in turn pushes the horizontal adjustment device 6 to rapidly deploy the wings 2. The deployment of the first two sets of wings and the last two sets of wings can be controlled simultaneously or independently, depending on the actual situation. Flight then commences.

[0024] During flight, the wing sweep angle and wing force area can be controlled by adjusting the rotation angle of the four vertical adjustment motors 5 and the four horizontal adjustment motors 4 according to different flight states and environments, thereby realizing the flight attitude adjustment of the UAV.

[0025] After landing, the wing 2 can be used as the thigh of the legged robot, and the shank wing 3 can be used as the lower leg of the legged robot. By adjusting the rotation angle of the four vertical adjustment motors 5 and the four horizontal adjustment motors 4, it can crawl on the ground.
