Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and in particular to a square beam structure of a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle wing. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the field of unmanned aerial vehicles has developed rapidly, and fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles are also increasingly applied in production and life. During the flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle, it is subjected to various forces such as its own gravity, aerodynamic force, and resistance. As the main load-bearing member of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the wing beam requires high strength. However, a stronger load-bearing capacity means a higher structural weight. The wing beam of an unmanned aerial vehicle is usually heavy, which affects the load-carrying performance of the unmanned aerial vehicle. A fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle needs to carry objects and fly in the air. For unmanned aerial vehicles of the same size, the lighter the empty weight, the stronger the load-carrying capacity. A reasonable structure can effectively reduce the weight of the unmanned aerial vehicle and improve its load-carrying performance.

[0003] The inventor found that compared with the commonly used plate beams and C-shaped beams, the cross-sectional area of a square beam is usually larger than that of a C-shaped beam or a plate beam with the same amount of material used. The square beam can make full use of the wing thickness, reduce the size of the gap that needs to be filled between the beam and the wing skin, and make the structure lighter. And when the square beam bears a bending moment, the neutral axis of its cross-section is located at the center of the cross-section, the stress condition is more reasonable, it can bear a larger bending moment, has a strong bearing capacity, and has a stronger torsional resistance. However, since a separation surface usually needs to be set on the wing of an unmanned aerial vehicle, this means that the beam needs to be disconnected at this point. The docking surface shape of the square beam structure is complex, and the gap size between the docking parts of the square beams directly affects the bearing capacity of the beam. And there is a certain deformation in composite material products, and a large number of tests and high labor costs are required to measure the suitable fit tolerance.

[0004] Therefore, it is very necessary to have an unmanned aerial vehicle wing beam structure that is lighter in weight and has a simple docking surface structure on the premise of ensuring strength. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and provides a square beam structure of a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle wing. The connection between the separated wing and the fuselage wing is completed by inserting a square pin body fixedly connected to the middle wing beam into a limit pin sleeve embedded in the wing separation surface. The docking structure is simple to manufacture, quick and reliable to install. It makes use of the characteristics of the square beam with strong bearing capacity and strong torsional resistance. The size of the square beam fits the upper and lower surfaces of the skin, makes full use of the wing thickness, and realizes a lighter structural weight.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0010] A limit pin sleeve, arranged in cooperation with the square pin body for connecting the square pin body;

[0011] Wherein, the limit pin sleeve is embedded along the wingtip direction at the separation surface between the separated wing and the fuselage wing;

[0012] The square pin body is inserted into the limit pin sleeve to complete the connection between the separated wing and the fuselage wing.

[0013] In the technical solution of the present application, a further improvement is that first inner walls are respectively arranged at both ends of the middle wing beam, and the first inner walls are used for fixedly connecting the square pin body.

[0014] For the above improvement, a further improvement is that a second inner wall is arranged along the wingtip direction at the separation surface between the separated wing and the fuselage wing, and the second inner wall is used for fixedly connecting the limit pin sleeve.

[0015] A further improvement for the square pin body is that a first inlay is filled in the square pin body for structurally reinforcing the square pin body and reducing stress concentration.

[0016] A further improvement for the limit pin sleeve is that the limit pin sleeve and the square pin body are produced in cooperation, which helps to control the fit tolerance during production.

[0017] In the technical solution of the present application, the upper and lower surfaces of the middle wing beam are attached to the wing skin, reducing the size of the gap that needs to be filled between the beam and the wing skin, and the structural weight is lighter.

[0018] In the technical solution of the present application, the first inlay is preferably made of PVC foam, the limit pin sleeve is preferably made of glass fiber material, and the middle wing beam and the square pin body are preferably made of carbon fiber material.

[0019] In the technical solution of the present application, the square pin body and the first inner wall are preferably integrally connected by adhesive glue to make up for the gap between the square pin body and the first inner wall; the limit pin sleeve and the second inner wall are selected to be integrally connected by adhesive glue to make up for the gap between the limit pin sleeve and the second inner wall; the first inner wall and the second inner wall do not directly contact and cooperate, with low dimensional tolerance requirements, simple production, and low test cost.

[0020] Advantages of the technical solution of the present application:

[0021] 1. Compared with the commonly used plate girders and C-shaped girders, the stress condition of the square beam is more reasonable, with stronger load-bearing capacity and torsional resistance. The upper and lower surfaces are fitted to the wing skin, making full use of the wing thickness, reducing the size of the gap to be filled between the beam and the wing skin, and resulting in a lighter structural weight.

[0022] 2. It is mainly made of composite materials, which are light in weight and high in strength.

[0023] 3. A square pin body filled with PVC foam is embedded at the butt joint of the beam, and the square pin body is structurally reinforced, making it not easy to cause structural damage due to stress concentration.

[0024] 4. The square pin body does not directly contact and cooperate with the wing. It is connected by the method of a square pin body plus a fiberglass pin sleeve, which is simple to manufacture and has a low test cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
