Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of barrel-launched high-speed aircraft, in particular to a freely rotating tail wing mechanism that automatically unfolds on a tube-launched aircraft. Background Art
[0002] For the barrel-launched aircraft, its overall layout is a canard layout, which has many advantages such as high control efficiency and small hinge moment. However, when the canard deflects for roll control, the canard will generate an asymmetric wash flow field that induces the tail wing to generate a reverse rolling moment, making it impossible for the aircraft to perform good roll control. Currently, it is mostly to make the tail wing rotate freely, so that the generated reverse rolling moment is decoupled from the fuselage, and the rolling moment on the tail wing is not transmitted to the fuselage. However, if the mass of the rotating tail wing part is too large, the decoupling efficiency will also be reduced due to its own large moment of inertia, thus reducing the control efficiency. Moreover, due to the space limitation of the barrel-launch carrier for the barrel-launched aircraft, its rotating tail wing needs to be stored in the launch tube before launch.
[0003] However, the existing patents have the following several disadvantages:
[0004] (1) The existing utility model tail wing mechanism and the rotating section cabin are integrally designed, which increases the mass of the tail wing mechanism, and the reverse rolling moment generated when the tail wing mechanism and the rotating section cabin rotate is transmitted to the aircraft through the rotating section cabin, making it impossible for the aircraft to perform good roll control. Moreover, the existing tail wing mechanism is not convenient to fold and store in the limited storage space inside the launch tube, which is not conducive to the launch of the aircraft. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the above technical defects, and provide a rotatable tail wing that can be folded. After the tail wing unfolds, only the tail wing and the root rotate freely, which can well ensure the tilt stability of the flight of the projectile body and realize the stable roll control of the freely rotating tail wing mechanism that automatically unfolds on the tube-launched aircraft.
[0006] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of the utility model is: a freely rotating tail wing mechanism that automatically unfolds on a tube-launched aircraft, including:

A sufficient gap is left between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve;
[0012] Bearing 2, Bearing 2 is located on one side of the sleeve group and is sleeved on the outside of the rotating section cabin body. The inner ring and the outer ring of Bearing 2 are close to one side of the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve of the sleeve group. The outer diameter of the pressing end of the fixing nut is smaller than the inner diameter of the outer ring of Bearing 2, and the pressing end face of the fixing nut does not contact the outer ring of Bearing 2;

The first step surface is in contact with the end face of the outer ring of Bearing 1, and the second step surface is evenly distributed with threaded holes. The installation ring fixedly installs the pressing ring on the second step surface of the installation ring through fasteners.

[0019] The advantages of the present utility model compared with the existing technology are as follows:
[0020] (1) The automatically deployed free-rotating tail wing mechanism on the tube-launched aircraft of the present utility model separates the folding wing mechanism from the rotating section cabin through a rotating mechanism, so that when the folding wing mechanism rotates during flight, the rotating section cabin will not rotate, reducing the influence of the reverse rolling moment generated by the folding wing mechanism on the rotating section cabin and the aircraft, enabling the aircraft to better perform rolling control. The folding wing mechanism is convenient for folding and storage, greatly reducing the space it occupies in the launch tube, making the launch tube more conducive to the stable launch of the aircraft.

All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0031] Embodiment 1:
[0032] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, a freely rotatable tail wing mechanism that automatically unfolds on a tube-launched aircraft includes: a rotating section cabin body 2, the rotating section cabin body 2 is located between the combustion chamber 1 and the first-stage cabin 4 of the aircraft and is fixedly installed with the combustion chamber 1 and the first-stage cabin 4 through fasteners, and a section of thread is provided on the outer side of the cylindrical section of the rotating section cabin body 2; a rotating mechanism 3, the rotating mechanism 3 is sleeved on the outer side of the cylindrical section of the rotating section cabin body 2, and the rotating mechanism 3 is tightened on the thread on the outer side of the cylindrical section of the rotating section cabin body 2 through a fixing nut 5.
[0033] The rotating mechanism 3 includes: a bearing one 7, a sleeve group bearing two 10, a mounting ring 11, and a folding wing mechanism 6. The bearing one 7 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating section cabin body 2. One end of the rotating section cabin body 2 is provided with a step, and the height of the step is between the inner ring and the outer ring of the bearing one 7. The inner ring of the bearing one 7 is attached to the end face of the step. The sleeve group is located on one side of the bearing one 7 and is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating section cabin body 2. The sleeve group includes an inner sleeve 9 and an outer sleeve 8. The inner sleeve 9 and the outer sleeve 8 have the same width and are respectively close to one side of the inner ring and the outer ring of the bearing one 7. A sufficient gap is left between the inner sleeve 9 and the outer sleeve 8. The bearing two 10 is located on one side of the sleeve group and is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating section cabin body 2. The inner ring and the outer ring of the bearing two 10 are close to one side of the inner sleeve 9 and the outer sleeve 8 of the sleeve group. The outer diameter of the pressing end of the fixing nut 5 is smaller than the inner diameter of the outer ring of the bearing two 10, and the pressing end face of the fixing nut 5 does not contact the outer ring of the bearing two 10. The inner ring of the mounting ring 11 is provided with two step surfaces. The first step surface is attached to the end face of the outer ring of the bearing one 7 and the second step surface is uniformly provided with threaded holes. The mounting ring 11 fixedly installs a pressing ring 12 on the second step surface of the mounting ring 11 through fasteners. The inner diameter of the pressing ring 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the inner ring of the bearing two 10 and the pressing ring 12 does not contact the inner ring of the bearing two 10. There are six folding wing mechanisms 6 in total and they are uniformly distributed inside the mounting ring 11. The folding wing mechanisms 6 are fixedly installed with the mounting ring 11 through fasteners.
[0034] Since the outer diameter of the clamping end of the fixing nut 5 is smaller than the inner diameter of the outer ring of the bearing 2 10 and the clamping end face of the fixing nut 5 does not contact the outer ring of the bearing 2 10, during installation, the fixing nut 5 is rotated and the fixing nut 5 moves through the thread on the outside of the cylindrical section of the rotating section cabin 2, so that the fixing nut 5 clamps and fixes the inner ring of the bearing 1 7, the inner sleeve 9 and the inner ring of the bearing 2 10 of the rotating mechanism 3 through the clamping end face and the step end face set at one end of the rotating section cabin 2, thereby completing the internal clamping installation of the rotating mechanism 3.
[0035] Afterwards, the outer ring of bearing 17 is fixed to the first step end face of the mounting ring 11 by fasteners, and the pressure ring 12 is fixed to the second step end face of the mounting ring 11 by fasteners, so that the outer ring of bearing 17, the outer sleeve 8 and the outer ring of bearing 2 10 are clamped and fixed, completing the external clamping installation of the rotating mechanism 3. At this time, the mounting ring 11 is turned, and the mounting ring 11 can drive the outer ring of bearing 17, the outer sleeve 8 and the outer ring of bearing 2 10 to rotate outside the inner ring of bearing 17, the inner sleeve 9 and the inner ring of bearing 2 10.
[0036] The folding wing mechanism 6 includes: a rudder blade mounting base 15, a rudder blade 14 and a double torsion spring 16. The rudder blade mounting base 15 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the mounting ring 11 by fasteners. A limiting groove is provided on the inner side of the rudder blade mounting base 15. The inner side of the limiting groove is rotatably connected to the shaft 13. The rudder blade 14 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the shaft 13. The double torsion spring 16 is sleeved on the outer side of the shaft 13 and fixedly connected to the rudder blade mounting base 15 at both ends. The protruding end of the double torsion spring 16 supports the rotation of the rudder blade 14.
[0037] The folding wing mechanism 6 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the mounting ring 11 by fasteners. Before the projectile is launched, the rudder blades 14 are evenly distributed in the storage grooves provided on the outer side of the rotating section cabin 2, and are limited to a folded state by the launch tube wall. When the aircraft leaves the launch tube, the folding tail wing is popped open by the double torsion spring 16. During the flight, the rudder blades 14 are kept in the unfolded state by the spring force and flight resistance, and the rudder blades 14 drive the mounting ring 11 fixed together, so that the mounting ring 11 drives the outer ring of bearing 1 7, the outer sleeve 8 and the outer ring of bearing 2 10 to rotate outside the inner ring of bearing 1 7, the inner sleeve 9 and the inner ring of bearing 2 10, thereby releasing the rolling moment generated by the flight of the projectile.
[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
