Description

Technical Field

[0002] Birds, insects, and bats have flight efficiency far exceeding current human flight technology, allowing them to fly higher and farther with minimal energy consumption. Therefore, flapping-wing aerodynamics, under certain conditions, is significantly superior to aerodynamics based on fixed-wing theory. A flapping-wing aircraft, like a bird, generates lift and forward propulsion through the active movement of its wings, flying by flapping its wings. Compared to fixed-wing and rotary-wing flight, flapping-wing flight offers advantages such as takeoff from a stationary position or small area, good flight maneuverability, a certain degree of hovering performance, and lower energy consumption for long-distance flight. Especially for flapping-wing aircraft mimicking hummingbirds, high-frequency, periodic, and repeatable wing-blowing actuation is typically required within limited volume and mass, resulting in complex airframes and transmission structures. Many existing flapping-wing designs rely on a high proportion of custom-made parts, specialized machining components, or complex assembly relationships, leading to high manufacturing costs, long development cycles, and significant difficulty in replication.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a flapping wing device 1, which includes a support assembly, a drive assembly 20, a transmission rod 30, and an output assembly 40.

This improves the ease of assembly and disassembly of the support assembly, meets the high-frequency assembly and disassembly requirements of the vibrating wing device 1 during testing, and reduces the cost of the vibrating wing device 1. The drive assembly 20 includes a drive mechanism and an output wheel 22. The drive mechanism is connected to the first support plate 11, the output wheel 22 is rotatably mounted on the second support plate 12, and the output assembly 40 is disposed between the second support plate 12 and the third support plate 13. Thus, the support assembly can provide sufficient support for the drive assembly 20, the transmission rod 30, and the output assembly 40, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the vibrating wing device 1 and enhancing its performance.

[0027] Optionally, in this embodiment, the output wheel 22 is rotatably connected to the second support plate 12 via the central bearing 24.

[0028] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first support plate 11, the second support plate 12, and the third support plate 13 are all formed using 3D printing technology, which can further reduce the cost of the support assembly. Further, optionally, in this embodiment, the first support plate 11, the second support plate 12, and the third support plate 13 are all provided with weight-reducing holes, which can reduce the overall weight of the flapping wing device 1 and facilitate the lightweight design of the flapping wing device 1.

[0030] Furthermore, a slide rod 31 is provided at the second end of the transmission rod 30, and the extension direction of the slide rod 31 is parallel to the axis of rotation of the transmission rod 30; the second support plate 12 is provided with a first slide groove, the third support plate 13 is provided with a second slide groove, and the two ends of the slide rod 31 are slidably disposed in the first slide groove and the second slide groove, respectively.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, a slide rod 31 is provided at the second end of the transmission rod 30. The two ends of the slide rod 31 are slidably disposed in the first slide groove of the second support plate 12 and the second slide groove of the third support plate 13, respectively. Thus, the first slide groove and the second slide groove can provide guidance for the sliding of the slide rod 31, ensuring the smooth sliding of the transmission rod 30.

[0032] Optionally, in this embodiment, both the first slide and the second slide extend along the first direction. When the flapping device is working, the vertical direction is the first direction, ensuring that the output end of the output link 413 can swing around the horizontal direction, thereby ensuring the swing of the wing connected to the output link 413.

[0033] Optionally, in this embodiment, a slide rod 31 is fixedly provided at the second end of the transmission rod 30, and the slide rod 31 can slide along the first slide groove and the second slide groove.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a first sliding sleeve 121 is provided in the first sliding groove, and a second sliding sleeve 131 is provided in the second sliding groove. The two ends of the sliding rod 31 slide in the first sliding sleeve 121 and the second sliding sleeve 131 respectively.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first slide groove is a first blind groove, the second slide groove is a second blind groove, the first sliding sleeve 121 is disposed in the first blind groove, the second sliding sleeve 131 is disposed in the second blind groove, and the two ends of the slide rod 31 are respectively slidably disposed in the first sliding sleeve 121 and the second sliding sleeve 131. The first sliding sleeve 121 and the second sliding sleeve 131 are both metal parts, which can ensure that the first sliding sleeve 121 and the second sliding sleeve 131 have good structural strength, which is beneficial to extending the service life.

[0036] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first sliding sleeve 121 is interference-fitted with the first blind groove, and the second sliding sleeve 131 is interference-fitted with the second blind groove.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the output mechanism 41 includes an input link 411, a transition link 412, and an output link 413. The middle part of the input link 411 is rotatably connected to the second support plate 12 and / or the third support plate 13. The first end of the input link 411 is provided with a first sliding groove, which is slidably engaged with the slide rod 31. The first end of the output link 413 is rotatably disposed on the second support plate 12 and / or the third support plate 13. The two ends of the transition link 412 are respectively rotatably connected to the second end of the input link 411 and the middle part of the output link 413.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the middle part of the input link 411 is rotatably connected to the second support plate 12 and the third support plate 13 via the first rotating shaft. The first end of the input link 411 is provided with a first sliding groove, which is slidably engaged with the slide rod 31. The first end of the output link 413 is rotatably set on the second support plate 12 and the third support plate 13 via the second rotating shaft. The two ends of the transition link 412 are rotatably connected to the second end of the input link 411 and the middle part of the output link 413, respectively. When the drive unit drives the output wheel 22 to rotate, the output wheel 22 drives the slide rod 31 at the second end of the transmission rod 30 to slide along the first sliding sleeve 121 and the second sliding sleeve 131. Since the slide rod 31 is slidably engaged with the first sliding groove of the input link 411, it can drive the input link 411 to rotate relative to the first rotating shaft. Then, it can drive the output link 413 to rotate around the second rotating shaft through the transition link 412, thereby driving the external wing 2, which is fixedly connected to the output link 413, to vibrate.

[0039] Optionally, in this embodiment, the middle part of the input link 411 is rotatably connected to the second support plate 12 and the third support plate 13 via the first rotating shaft, and a first protective pad is provided between the input link 411 and the second support plate 12, and between the input link 411 and the third support plate 13, which can reduce the wear of the input link 411 and thus extend its service life.

[0040] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first end of the output link 413 is rotatably mounted on the second support plate 12 and the third support plate 13 via the second rotating shaft, and a second protective pad is provided between the output link 413 and the second support plate 12, and between the output link 413 and the third support plate 13, which can reduce the wear of the output link 413 and thus extend its service life.

[0041] Optionally, in this embodiment, the output mechanism 41 further includes an intermediate connecting rod 414, which is connected between the intermediate rotating shaft and the second end of the input connecting rod 411. Two output connecting rods 413 are provided, which are spaced apart.

A third protective pad is provided between the first end of the transition connecting rod 412 and the intermediate connecting rod 414, and between the second end of the transition connecting rod 412 and the input connecting rod 411. A fourth protective pad is provided between the second end of the transition connecting rod 412 and the two output connecting rods 413. This can reduce the wear of the transition connecting rod 412 and extend the service life of the vibrating wing device 1.

[0042] Optionally, in this embodiment, the input link 411, the transition link 412, the intermediate link 414, and the output link 413 are all metal parts.

[0043] Optionally, in this embodiment, a weight-reducing hole is provided between the input link 411, the transition link 412, the intermediate link 414 and the output link 413, which will not be described in detail here.

[0044] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first protective pad, the second protective pad, the third protective pad, and the fourth protective pad are all metal gaskets 415, which can reduce wear and extend service life.

[0045] Furthermore, the two input links 411 are located on both sides of the slide bar 31 along its own thickness direction.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, two output mechanisms 41 are disposed at both ends of the transmission rod 30, which can improve the force balance of the transmission rod 30, thereby improving the performance of the wing-vibrating device 1.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the transition link 412 has an arc-shaped structure.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, by setting the transition link 412 to an arc-shaped structure, the force on the transition link 412 can be optimized, thereby improving the output effect of the output mechanism 41 and enhancing the performance of the wing-vibrating device 1.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 3as well as Figure 5 As shown, the drive assembly 20 also includes a reduction mechanism 23, which is connected between the drive assembly and the output wheel 22.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, the driving mechanism is a drive motor 21. By providing a reduction mechanism 23 between the drive motor 21 and the output wheel 22, the high speed of the drive motor 21 can be converted into a lower speed and a larger torque required to drive the wing 2.

[0051] Optionally, in this embodiment, the drive motor 21 is a brushless motor. Compared with traditional brushed motors, brushless motors have a longer lifespan, higher efficiency, and lower noise, which can improve the performance of the wing-vibrating device 1.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the reduction mechanism 23 includes a first gear 231, a second gear 232, a third gear 233, and a fourth gear 234.

The fourth gear 234 is fixedly disposed with the output wheel 22. The first gear 231 and the second gear 232 mesh, and the third gear 233 and the fourth gear 234 mesh.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first gear 231 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 21. The second gear 232 and the third gear 233, which have different numbers of teeth, are coaxially mounted. The fourth gear 234 and the output wheel 22 are fixedly mounted. The first gear 231 and the second gear 232 mesh, and the third gear 233 and the fourth gear 234 mesh. The torque output by the drive motor 21 is transmitted to the second gear 232 through the first gear 231. The second gear 232 and the third gear 233 are coaxially fixed and rotate at the same speed. The second gear 232 and the third gear 233 have different numbers of teeth. Specifically, the second gear 232 has fewer teeth than the third gear 233, and the third gear 233 meshes with the fourth gear 234, thereby reducing the speed of the fourth gear 234 and increasing the torque. Alternatively, in this embodiment, the number of teeth of the first gear 231, the second gear 232, the third gear 233, and the fourth gear 234 can be specifically set according to actual use, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fourth support plate 14 is spaced apart from the first support plate 11 on the side away from the second support plate 12, and the fourth support plate 14 is connected to the first support plate 11 by a third fastener, thereby improving the structural strength of the bracket assembly. The drive motor 21 is fixedly mounted on the fourth support plate 14, and the output shaft of the drive motor 21 extends through the fourth support plate 14 into the space between the fourth support plate 14 and the first support plate 11. The second gear 232 is rotatably mounted between the first support plate 11 and the fourth support plate 14, and the second gear 232 meshes with the first gear 231; the second gear 232's... After passing through the first support plate 11, the gear shaft extends to the space between the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12. The third gear 233 is fixedly mounted on the gear shaft of the second gear 232, so that the third gear 233 is rotatably mounted in the space between the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12. The fourth gear 234 is rotatably mounted on the second support plate 12, and the fourth gear 234 is fixedly connected to the output wheel 22. The output wheel 22 is rotatably connected to the second support plate 12 through the central bearing 24, and the output wheel 22 passes through the second support plate 12, thereby making the transmission rod 30 located between the second support plate 12 and the third support plate 13.

[0056] Optionally, in this embodiment, there are three of each of the second gear 232 and the third gear 233. The three second gears 232 are evenly distributed around the periphery of the first gear 231, and the three third gears 233 and the three second gears 232 are fixedly connected in a one-to-one correspondence, which can improve the reliability of the transmission.
