[0039] Combine Figures 3 to 16 As shown, a loading structure of a UAV tail wing includes two frame bodies 1 spaced apart from each other, and the gap between the two frame bodies 1 forms an accommodating space for the tail wing body 100; each frame body 1 includes an upper crossbeam 1a and a lower crossbeam 1b spaced apart from each other, and an oblique beam 1c is welded to the front end of the upper crossbeam 1a and the lower crossbeam 1b; a plurality of support plates 2 are welded between the lower crossbeams 1b of the two frame bodies 1, and the support plates 2 are used to support the bottom edge of the tail wing body 100; a plurality of tail wing fixing plates 3 are installed between the oblique beams 1c of the two frame bodies 1 by screws, and the tail wing fixing plates 3 are used to be screwed to the fixing hole plates 101 of the tail wing body 100; a trailing edge mounting plate 4 and a trailing edge middle support plate 5 are installed between the upper crossbeams 1a of the two frame bodies 1 by screws, and the trailing edge mounting plate 4 is used to support the connecting ear plate 201 of the wing trailing edge 200 and is screwed to the connecting ear plate 201; the trailing edge middle support plate 5 is used to be supported at the middle position of the bottom surface of the wing trailing edge 200.

[0040] Combine Figures 13 to 16As shown, by adopting the above structure, when loading the tail body 100 and the wing trailing edge 200, first remove the trailing edge mounting plate 4, the trailing edge middle support plate 5 and the tail fixing plate 3. At this time, the upper part and the front end of the entire loading structure are open, which is convenient for hoisting the tail body 100 into the gap between the two frame bodies 1. When the tail body 100 is placed in the gap between the two frame bodies 1, the support plate 9 supports the bottom of the tail body 100, adjust the position of the tail body 100, connect and fix the tail fixing plate 3 with the fixing hole plate 101 on the tail body 100 with screws, and then fix the two ends of the tail fixing plate 3 to the inclined beam 1c with screws. At this point, the loading and fixation of the tail body 100 is completed. The trailing edge mounting plate 4 and the trailing edge middle support plate 5 are then screwed to the upper crossbeams 1a of the two frame bodies 1. The wing trailing edge 200 is then loaded. The connecting lug 201 of the wing trailing edge 200 is placed on the trailing edge mounting plate 4 and screwed in. The trailing edge middle support plate 5 is then supported at the center of the bottom surface of the wing trailing edge 200. This secures the wing trailing edge 200 to the loading structure. Once the empennage body 100 and the wing trailing edge 200 are loaded onto the loading structure, the resulting structure can be placed in a container for transportation.

[0041] Combine Figure 3 、 Figure 5 As shown, to better support the empennage body 100, the support plates 2 are at least three in number. Each support plate 2 is provided with a concave block 7 on its top surface. Each concave block 7 has a concave support groove on its top surface, which supports and engages with the lower edge of the empennage body 100, providing excellent support. Furthermore, to prevent rigid contact between the empennage body 100 and the concave block 7 and to protect the empennage body 100, a vibration-damping pad 8 is bonded to the concave support groove of the concave block 7.

[0042] Combine Figure 3 、 Figure 5As shown, the frame body 1 also includes multiple vertical rods 1d and multiple first diagonal braces 1e and second diagonal braces 1f.

A diagonal brace 1e is provided between two adjacent vertical rods 1d. The upper end of the diagonal brace 1e is welded to the intersection of one vertical rod 1d and the upper crossbeam 1a, and the lower end is welded to the intersection of the other vertical rod 1d and the lower crossbeam 1b. The upper portion of the diagonal beam 1c extends beyond the upper crossbeam 1a. To increase stability, a second diagonal brace 1f is welded between the top of the diagonal beam 1c and the upper crossbeam 1a. The use of the vertical rods 1d, the first diagonal brace 1e, and the second diagonal brace 1f makes the entire frame body 1 more stable. Furthermore, in order to increase the stability of the entire loading structure, connecting rods 9 are welded between the front and rear ends of the lower cross beams 1b of the two frame bodies 1; multiple connecting rods 9 are welded between the vertical rods 1d at the rear ends of the two frame bodies 1; and multiple connecting rods 9 are welded between the rear ends of the upper cross beams 1a of the two frame bodies 1.

[0043] Combine Figure 7 As shown, the center of the tail wing fixing plate 3 protrudes to form a boss 3a, and the two end surfaces of the boss 3a form limiting surfaces for clamping between the oblique beams 1c of the two frame bodies 1. The two ends of the boss 3a extend to form edge plates 3b, which are used to rest on the oblique beams 1c and are screwed to the oblique beams 1c. When loading the tail wing body 100, the tail wing fixing plate 3 is first connected and fixed to the fixing hole plate 101 on the tail wing body 100 via screws. To facilitate the screw connection of the tail wing fixing plate 3 and the oblique beam 1c, an adjustment washer 10 is provided between the edge plate 3b and the oblique beam 1c. By using adjustment washer 10 of different thicknesses, the screw connection between the tail wing fixing plate 3 and the oblique beam 1c is facilitated.

[0044] Combine Figure 8 、 Figure 14 As shown, a recessed groove 4a is provided on the top surface of the trailing edge mounting plate 4 for supporting the connecting ear plate 201 of the wing trailing edge 200, and a threaded hole is provided on the bottom of the recessed groove 4a. When the connecting ear plate 201 is placed on the recessed groove 4a of the trailing edge mounting plate 4, the screw passes through the connecting ear plate 201 and is screwed into the threaded hole of the recessed groove 4a to fix it.

[0045] Combine Figure 8 and Figure 13 、 Figure 15 As shown, a limiting slot 5a is provided on the top surface of the trailing edge support plate 5 for supporting and clamping at the bottom middle position of the wing trailing edge 200. The limiting slot 5a plays a limiting role for the wing trailing edge 200.

[0046] Combine Figure 3、 Figure 5 、 Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, in order to better support the wing trailing edge 200, a trailing edge rear support plate 6 is also installed between the upper cross beams 1a of the two frame bodies 1 by screws. The trailing edge rear support plate 6 is used to support the bottom surface of the rear part of the wing trailing edge 200 and is screwed to the wing trailing edge 200.

[0047] Combine Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 11 As shown, a bearing support plate 11 is welded to the lower crossbeam 1b, on which a rolling bearing 12 is rollingly mounted. The bearing support plate 11 and the rolling bearing 12 are connected by a shaft pin 13. The shaft pin 13 passes through the rolling bearing 12 and the bearing support plate 11 in sequence, and then is screwed onto a nut 14. A cotter pin 15 is provided between the nut 14 and the shaft pin 13. The installation of the rolling bearing 12 facilitates the sliding of the entire loading structure inside the container when it is loaded.

[0048] Combine Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 12 As shown, the loading structure also includes a locking block 16, which has an arcuate engaging portion 16a and a bolt mounting portion 16b, with bolt holes provided on the bolt mounting portion 16b. Once the loading structure is moved to a designated position within the container, the locking block 16 is used to lock the entire loading structure. Specifically, the bolt mounting portion 16b is bolted to the container, while the arcuate engaging portion 16a has an arcuate surface for engaging with the outer circumferential surface of the rolling bearing 12 to achieve locking.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made based on the concept of the present invention and the contents of the present invention description and drawings, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
