[0085] The embodiment specifically includes the following core steps:

[0086] Step 1, geometric modeling and parametric design:

[0087] According to the specific use conditions and performance requirements of the unmanned aerial vehicle, a suitable high-efficiency airfoil profile is selected, and a precise coaxial rotor geometric model is established by using a three-dimensional modeling software. Ensure that the upper and lower rotors are arranged in a completely mirror-symmetrical manner, so that the two rotors can generate upward lift in opposite rotating directions, and the respective generated counter-torque can be offset, achieving the design goal of zero net torque output.

[0088] Step 2, spacing parametric analysis:

[0089] A dimensionless pitch ratio K is introduced as a key design parameter, defined as K = H / R, where H represents the axial distance between the upper and lower rotors, and R represents the standard radius of the rotor blades. Through parametric modeling techniques, the range of K values ​​is systematically adjusted to generate multiple sets of three-dimensional flow field calculation models covering different pitch ratios. A dimensionless lift ratio P is introduced as an optimization objective, defined as P = (T2 - T1) / T1, where T2 is the sum of the lift of the coaxial dual rotors, and T1 is the lift generated by a single rotor.

[0090] Step 3: CFD numerical simulation calculation:

[0091] For each parameterized coaxial dual-rotor computational model, a precise computational domain was partitioned to construct a three-dimensional flow field computational domain containing the following key regions:

[0092] The rotating domain is a cylindrical rotating domain with a radius of 1.2R (R is the rotor radius) centered on each rotor blade, and an axial height of 3.5L (L is the characteristic length), to ensure that the flow field around the rotor blade is fully contained within the rotating domain.

[0093] The stationary domain is a cylindrical stationary domain, in which the upper end of the rotating domain is approximately 6R from the upper end of the stationary domain, the lower end of the rotating domain is approximately 20R from the lower end of the stationary domain, and the radius of the stationary domain is approximately 12R. This stationary domain provides sufficient computational space for the rotor's far-field flow.

[0094] A sliding mesh interface is established between the rotating and stationary domains, and a conservative interpolation method is used to ensure the conservation and transfer of mass, momentum, and energy.

[0095] High-quality meshes are generated using a hybrid structured and unstructured meshing technique:

[0096] An O-type structured mesh is used on the rotor blade surface to ensure that the y+ value is controlled at around 1. The total number of boundary layer mesh layers is 15, with a growth rate of 1.2.

[0097] The blade surface uses a triangular unstructured mesh with 100 nodes in the chord direction and 50 nodes in the span direction to ensure accurate capture of the blade's geometric features.

[0098] Tetrahedral unstructured meshes are used in the rotating domain, with the mesh size gradually transitioning from small meshes on the blade surface to large meshes in the far field, with a growth rate of 1.2.

[0099] Mesh skewness is controlled below 0.85, and orthogonality quality is maintained above 0.15.

[0102] The boundary conditions of the calculation domain are set as follows:

[0103] The far-field inlet adopts a pressure inlet boundary condition, and the outlet adopts a pressure outlet boundary condition, and the pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet is set to a standard atmospheric pressure condition.

[0104] Step 4: Optimization parameter determination

[0105] Run high-precision CFD numerical calculation, systematically statistics and analysis of different rotor axial spacing configuration under the lift characteristics, to establish the quantitative relationship between the spacing parameters and the aerodynamic performance. In the premise of ensuring P as large as possible and not affecting the attitude control of the aircraft, determine the optimal ratio K. After determining the lift ratio P of the coaxial double rotors, the aerodynamic interference coefficient k under this spacing can be calculated aero , the specific formula is: Provide key coefficients for subsequent calculation of blade pitch angle.

[0106] Blade pitch angle optimization calculation method: this embodiment establishes a blade pitch angle calculation method based on flight dynamics theory and optimization algorithm, which provides the optimal blade pitch angle parameters for unmanned aerial vehicles under different flight conditions, the specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0107] Step 1: Setting of multi-condition boundary conditions:

[0108] The boundary of the yaw channel performance is set as:

[0109]

[0110] Where, Ω boundary ∈R 3×1 is the system boundary constraint vector, M∈R+ is the total mass, g∈R + is the gravity acceleration scalar, n∈Z + is the number of rotor shafts, Δω max ∈R + is the maximum relative speed difference, is the maximum yaw angle acceleration, F hover ∈R + is the hover thrust demand.

[0111] Step 2: Speed-throttle interpolation function based on rotor data:

[0112] The non-linear relationship between the rotational speed and the throttle is described by piecewise linear interpolation:

[0113]

[0114] The specific piecewise form is where ω j , ω j+1 correspond to the rotational speed values for the throttle interval [δ j , δ j+1 ].

[0115] Step 3: Lift-throttle interpolation function based on rotor data (single rotor data here):

[0116] The non-linear relationship between the lift and the throttle is described by piecewise linear interpolation:

[0117]

[0118] The specific piecewise form is where F j , F j+1 correspond to the rotational speed values for the throttle interval [δ j , δ j+1 ].

[0119] Step 4: Inverse interpolation algorithm for throttle boundary constraints:

[0120] The throttle control boundary is derived from the rotational speed boundary, defined as:

[0121]

[0122] F -1 is the rotational speed-throttle inverse interpolation function, ω max , ω min are the rotational speed control boundaries, and δ max , δ min are brought into the lift-throttle interpolation function to obtain the lift boundaries G F (δ max ), G F (δ min ).

[0123] Step 5: Expression of the tilt angle yaw moment of the rotor disc

[0124] The per-axis rotor disc tilt angle moment vector is defined as:

[0125]

[0126] where M θ is the rotor disc tilt angle moment vector, θ is the rotor disc tilt angle, and L y is the yaw arm.

[0127] Step 6: Lagrange expression of rigid body dynamics

[0128] The kinetic and potential energy of the system are defined as:

[0129]

[0130] The yaw axis dynamics equation is derived from the Euler-Lagrange equation:

[0131]

[0132] where, I zz is the yaw axis moment of inertia, is the yaw angle, and Q(δ) is the inverse torsional function.

[0133] Step 7: Variational expression of the constrained optimization problem:

[0134] The optimal blade pitch angle is defined as a constrained optimization problem:

[0135]

[0136] where, Θ is the feasible region, is the minimum yaw angle acceleration requirement.

[0137] The present application also provides a fuselage structure design scheme matched with the above optimization method:

The main bearing beam of the fuselage is made of high-strength 7075-T6 aluminum alloy material, and the key structure connection node adopts advanced argon arc welding and friction stir welding composite process.

[0139] The hollow truss design optimized by structural mechanics is innovatively adopted, the optimal opening position, size and shape are determined through finite element analysis, and the internal storage space and equipment installation space of the unmanned aerial vehicle are significantly increased on the premise of maintaining the structural stiffness and strength indexes. At the same time, the possibility of dynamic adjustment of the structure gravity center is provided.

[0140] The fork assembly is precisely manufactured by 6061-T6 aluminum alloy material, has a double-arm beam structure design, and realizes the continuous adjustable function of the rotor blade tilt angle through a precise mechanical connection mechanism. The adjustable angle connection mechanism adopts a design scheme of high-strength stainless steel bolt matched with wear-resistant sleeve, and realizes the precise manual adjustment function of the blade tilt angle by controlling the pre-tightening force of the bolt.
