[0002] Flapping-wing aircraft refers to an aircraft that flaps its wings up and down like a bird to generate a reaction force in the air as lift and forward force. Flapping-wing aircraft have the advantages of moderate size, easy to carry, strong flexibility, and the ability to take off and land vertically, so they have very important and wide applications in both civil and defense fields.

[0003] The existing Chinese patent with announcement number CN212313871U discloses a flapping-wing aircraft, including an aircraft body and a flexible adjustment structure, wherein the flexible adjustment structure has a first end and a second end relative to each other, the first end is connected to the aircraft body, and the second end is a free end, and the center of gravity of the flexible adjustment structure is located behind the center of gravity of the aircraft body.

[0004] With regard to the above-mentioned related technologies, it is found that most of the existing flapping-wing aircraft use mechanical transmission to drive the flapping wings to flap, and then achieve flight operations by flapping the wings to beat the air. However, in order to reduce the overall weight of the aircraft, a more sturdy mechanical transmission structure is often not adopted. After long-term use, wear and deformation may easily occur, affecting the normal use of the aircraft. Utility Model Content

[0023] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an electrodeformation actuator includes an angle frame 1, the angle frame 1 includes a C-shaped frame 11 and a connecting frame 12, the connecting frame 12 is installed on the rear end surface of the C-shaped frame 11, and the connecting frame 12 is fixedly connected to the C-shaped frame 11, and parallel plate electric field groups 2 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the C-shaped frame 11, and the parallel plate electric field group 2 is plugged and fixed to the C-shaped frame 11. The parallel plate electric field group 2 includes a top electric field plate 21 and a bottom electric field plate 22, and the bottom electric field plate 22 is arranged in parallel at the lower end of the top electric field plate 21. The structural setting of the angle frame 1 ensures that the parallel plate electric field group 2 can be installed through the C-shaped frame 11 for use. At the same time, by fixing the connecting frame 12 on the C-shaped frame 11, it is convenient to connect with the outside through the connecting frame 12 to ensure the stable use of the angle frame 1. At the same time, through the structural setting of the parallel plate electric field group 2, when it is convenient to use, an external power supply can be used through a pair of parallel top electric field plates 21 and bottom electric field plates 22 to provide an electric field (the top electric field plate 21 and the bottom electric field plate 22 are used as a positive plate and a negative plate respectively), thereby providing an electric field force to a conductive object placed between the top electric field plate 21 and the bottom electric field plate 22.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the C-shaped frame 11 includes a top seat 111, a middle rod 112 and a bottom seat 113. The top seat 111 and the bottom seat 113 are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the middle rod 112, and the rear ends of the top seat 111 and the bottom seat 113 are fixedly connected to the middle rod 112. The structural setting of the C-shaped frame 11 ensures that the top seat 111 and the bottom seat 113 can be connected and fixed to each other through the middle rod 112, so that the electric field plates can be installed respectively through the top seat 111 and the bottom seat 113, ensuring that the electric field plates installed on the top seat 111 and the bottom seat 113 can remain in a parallel state.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a flapping-wing aircraft comprises a lightweight frame 3, a movable swing arm 4 and a flapping wing 5. The movable swing arm 4 is symmetrically mounted on the head of the lightweight frame 3, and the lower end of the movable swing arm 4 is rotatably connected to the lightweight frame 3. The flapping wing 5 is mounted on the head of the movable swing arm 4, and the flapping wing 5 is fixedly connected to the movable swing arm 4. The lightweight frame 3 is provided as the overall frame structure of the aircraft, and the movable swing arm 4 is installed on the lightweight frame 3, so that the flapping wing 5 can be supported and installed by the movable swing arm 4, and the flapping wing 5 can be flapped on the lightweight frame 3 by the movable swing arm 4 during easy use.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lightweight frame 3 includes a horizontal bracket 31 and a head frame 32 for mounting the movable swing arm 4, the head frame 32 is mounted at the head of the horizontal bracket 31, and the head frame 32 is fixedly connected to the horizontal bracket 31. A tail 311 is fixedly mounted at the end of the horizontal bracket 31, and a bracket 312 is also fixedly mounted in the middle of the horizontal bracket 31. The structural setting of the lightweight frame 3 ensures that the head frame 32 is fixedly mounted on the horizontal bracket 31, and the movable swing arm 4 is conveniently positioned and mounted through the head frame 32, so that the movable swing arm 4 can be easily swung on the head frame 32 for use. At the same time, the setting of the tail 311 assists in increasing the stability during flight, and the setting of the bracket 312 facilitates the fixed installation of the angle frame 1.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the flapping wing 5 includes a conductive film portion 51 and an extended wing 52 . One end of the conductive film portion 51 is fixed on the movable swing rod 4 , and the extended wing 52 is fixedly mounted on the other end of the conductive film portion 51 . The structure of the flapping wing 5 is set to ensure that the extended wing 52 is installed through the conductive film part 51. When in use, the conductive film part 51 is set between the top electric field plate 21 and the bottom electric field plate 22. When the top electric field plate 21 and the bottom electric field plate 22 are energized, they will bend under the action of the electric field force. If the conductive film part 51 itself carries a positive charge, it will be attracted by the negative plate in the electric field and deflect toward the negative plate. When it contacts the negative plate, the charge exchange will be completed. At this time, it will change from carrying a positive charge to carrying a negative charge, so it will be attracted by the positive plate and deflect toward the positive plate again, and then the charge exchange will be carried out. Such reciprocating movement will form a fanning form of mechanical deformation, which can ensure that the conductive film part 51 can flap back and forth between the top electric field plate 21 and the bottom electric field plate 22, and the area of ​​the conductive film part 51 flapping the air is increased by setting the extended wing 52, thereby increasing the flight ability.

[0028] Working principle: When installing the aircraft, first combine the angle frame and the parallel plate electric field group together. After fixing the parallel plate electric field group on the angle frame, the C-shaped frame can be installed on the head frame of the lightweight frame, and then the connecting frame is placed on the bracket of the lightweight frame. Finally, the connecting frame and the bracket are fixed to each other by bolts. When it is needed to fly, it is necessary to install a power supply battery and a corresponding control system on the lightweight frame to power the parallel plate electric field group to ensure that the flapping wings can be flapped under the action of the electric field force of the parallel plate electric field group.

For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
