Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aircraft folding wing testing, and in particular to a folding structure of a wing. Background Art

[0002] The folding wings of an aircraft are one of the important factors to improve the performance and practicality of the aircraft. Therefore, it is very necessary to test its deployment performance. The folding wings of an aircraft need to meet certain requirements during the deployment process, including the deployment speed, deployment accuracy, deployment stability, deployment force, and deployment reliability. At the same time, the operation of the equipment during the deployment process also needs to have sufficient reliability and accuracy. In the design process of an aircraft with folding wings, the deployment performance of the folding wings should be fully considered, and it is necessary to verify through experiments whether it meets the design requirements.

[0003] The performance test of the folding wing of an aircraft usually includes two methods: static test and dynamic test. In the actual design and test of an aircraft, a combination of static test and dynamic test is generally used to test the performance of the folding wing.

[0004] Static experiments are mainly used to test the accuracy and stability of the folding wings of an aircraft. Using experimental equipment, the aircraft's wings are spread to a certain angle through manual or automatic control. The accuracy of the wings is tested by measuring the angle after the wings are spread, and even the tension of the wire rope, to test the accuracy and stability of the wings. In static tests, it is also necessary to record the status and position of each component after the wings are spread in detail and conduct structural analysis. This test method can test the static performance of the folding wings, but it has certain limitations for testing dynamic performance.

[0005] Dynamic experiments are mainly used to test the speed, strength and reliability of the folding wings of an aircraft. In dynamic experiments, common methods include using test aircraft or static test equipment to simulate the unfolding process of the folding wings during flight, and recording the unfolding speed, acceleration, angle and unfolding time. In practice, dynamic experiments focus on testing its operability and durability, which has a good guiding significance for the dynamic performance test of the folding wings. However, the current dynamic tests are also complex in structure and high in cost.

[0006] However, the folding structure in the prior art is complex and inconvenient to operate in order to meet the needs of both static and dynamic experiments. Utility Model Content

[0042] The present application provides a folding structure of a wing, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, in one embodiment, it includes: two folding parts, and the two folding parts are axially symmetrically distributed about the center line of the aircraft. That is to say, the structures of the two folding parts are the same, and the following description takes one folding part as an example.

[0043] Each folding part comprises: a fuselage part, a wing part, a connecting part, a power part and a positioning part.

[0044] The fuselage piece is connected to the fuselage and has a plate-like structure.

[0045] The wing piece is connected to the wing and is a plate-like structure.

[0046] The connecting member is connected to the fuselage member, the wing member and the power member at the same time, wherein the connecting member is rotationally connected to the fuselage member (for example, through a bearing), fixedly connected to the wing member, and rotationally connected to the power member. The connecting member rotates relative to the fuselage member under the drive of the power member, and the wing member and the connecting member are linked, so that the wing member has a folded state, a rotated state and an unfolded state.

[0048] There are two groups of positioning parts, one group of positioning parts connects the fuselage parts and the connecting parts, and the other group of positioning parts connects the fuselage parts and the wing parts; the positioning points of the two groups of positioning parts and the connection points between the wing parts and the connecting parts form a triangular structure to form a stable state.

[0049] Among them, each group of positioning parts includes: positioning pins and positioning slots, the positioning pins and the positioning slots correspond one to one; the positioning pins enter the corresponding positioning slots from the outside to form positioning points (the positioning points are the positions where the positioning pins and the positioning slots cooperate, and there are two positioning points in total); in one group of positioning parts, the positioning pins are arranged on the fuselage parts or the connecting parts, and the positioning slots are arranged on the connecting parts or the fuselage parts, that is, if the positioning pins are arranged on the fuselage parts, then the positioning slots are arranged on the connecting parts, and if the positioning pins are arranged on the connecting parts, then the positioning slots are arranged on the fuselage parts; in another group of positioning parts, the positioning pins are arranged on the fuselage parts or the wing parts, and the positioning slots are arranged on the wing parts or the fuselage parts, that is, if the positioning pins are arranged on the fuselage parts, then the positioning slots are arranged on the wing parts, and if the positioning pins are arranged on the wing parts, then the positioning slots are arranged on the fuselage parts.

[0051] Preferably, the opening directions of the two positioning grooves are perpendicular to each other so as to form positioning in different directions.

[0052] In one embodiment, the positioning pin is a columnar structure, and the positioning groove is a hole-shaped structure whose cross section matches the columnar structure.

[0053] Preferably, the positioning pin can be selected as a solenoid valve, and the specific structure belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0054] In one embodiment, the folding part further includes: a limit member, which includes: a limit valve and two limit slots; the limit valve is arranged on the fuselage member, and the limit slot is arranged on the connecting member. Before and after the connecting member rotates relative to the fuselage member, the limit valve cooperates with different limit slots to form a limit point (the limit point is the position where the limit pin cooperates with the limit slot, and there is a total of one limit point) to correspond to the folding state or unfolding state of the wing member. The setting of the limit member can further limit the degree of freedom of the wing member on the basis of the positioning member, thereby preventing the folding state or unfolding state of the wing member from failing, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the state.

[0055] Preferably, the limit valve is a solenoid valve; the solenoid valve includes a valve core and a valve body, the valve core is connected to the valve body and can pop out and retract relative to the valve body; the valve body is fixedly connected to the fuselage part, and the valve core is in a pop-up state when it is aligned with the limit groove, and the pop-up state of the valve core corresponds to the folding state or unfolding state of the wing part, otherwise the valve core is in a retracted state, and the retracted state of the valve core corresponds to the rotation state of the wing part.
