Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field related to the body of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and in particular to a body structure of a ducted UAV. Background Art

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is an unmanned aircraft that is controlled by a radio remote control device and a self-contained program control device, or is operated completely or intermittently autonomously by an onboard computer.

[0003] Compared with rotor-type UAVs, ducted UAVs have many advantages, such as small size, regular external shape, easy to carry, store and transport, and suitable for cluster operations, because the lift fan is embedded inside the fuselage.

[0004] During the flight of existing ducted UAVs, the flight control module is easily affected by the vibration of the UAV, resulting in a decrease in its ability to control flight stability and accuracy.

[0005] In summary, there is a need for a ducted UAV body structure that can improve flight stability and accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model aims to overcome the deficiency that the flight control module is easily affected by the vibration of the UAV during flight, which leads to a reduction in its control ability of flight stability and accuracy, and provides a body structure of a ducted UAV that can improve flight stability and accuracy.

[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A body structure of a ducted unmanned aerial vehicle includes a main beam, a flight control module mounting platform is fixed to the upper end surface of the main beam, a flight control module is fixed on the flight control module mounting platform, the flight control module mounting platform includes an upper fixing plate and a lower fixing plate, the lower fixing plate is fixed to the top surface of the main beam, the upper fixing plate is placed above the lower fixing plate with a lower shock absorber seat fixed therebetween, an upper shock absorber seat is fixed to the top surface of the upper fixing plate, and the flight control module is fixed on the upper shock absorber seat.

[0009] The flight control module is mounted on the upper shock mount of the flight control module mounting platform. This simple and convenient connection facilitates system installation and maintenance. Vibration from the main beam is transmitted to the flight control module through the lower mounting plate, lower shock mount, upper mounting plate, and upper shock mount. The design of the lower and upper shock mounts reduces the impact of vibration on the flight control module during flight, thereby protecting the module and improving flight stability and accuracy.

[0010] Preferably, the flight control module is located at the center of the upper mounting plate, with the upper shock absorbers symmetrically located at the four corners of the bottom surface of the flight control module, and the lower shock absorbers symmetrically located at the four corners of the bottom surface of the upper mounting plate. By symmetrically positioning the upper and lower shock absorbers to support the flight control module, the flight control module's stability can be effectively improved during flight, while also reducing the module's bounce upon touchdown, thereby protecting the flight control module and enhancing the drone's flight stability and accuracy.

[0011] Preferably, the upper shock absorber seat includes a support rod 1, and a cylindrical base 1 is fixed to both the upper and lower ends of the support rod 1, the cylindrical base 1 at the lower end of the support rod is fixed to the top surface of the upper fixed plate, and the cylindrical base 1 at the upper end of the support rod 1 is fixed to the bottom surface of the flight control module, and the lower shock absorber seat includes a support rod 2, and a cylindrical base 2 is fixed to both the upper and lower ends of the support rod 2, the cylindrical base 2 at the lower end of the support rod 2 is fixed to the top surface of the lower fixed plate, and the cylindrical base 2 at the upper end of the support rod 2 is fixed to the bottom surface of the upper fixed plate. The upper shock absorber seat and the lower shock absorber seat are both made of elastic materials such as rubber and tetrafluoroethylene. The support rod height and cylindrical base size of the upper shock absorber seat and the support rod height and cylindrical base size of the lower shock absorber seat are calculated according to the natural frequency formula: Calculated using the formula (π), where π is the circumference of the circle, k is the stiffness, and m is the mass. By adjusting the strut height and cylindrical base size of the upper and lower shock absorbers, the mass m, which determines the natural frequency of the shock absorber, can be adjusted. By choosing different materials, such as rubber or Teflon, the stiffness k of the shock absorber can be varied. Designers can calculate how the upper and lower shock absorbers can filter out vibrations of varying frequencies, ensuring that the flight control system is unaffected by drone vibrations and ensuring accurate flight control system signals.

[0012] Preferably, the main beam is provided with a landing gear, which is fixed to the lower end surface of the main beam and symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the flight control module. The symmetrical arrangement of the front and rear landing gears provides support for the drone, effectively improving the stability of the drone's posture during automatic landing, while also reducing the landing gear's ground bounce and improving the accuracy of the automatic landing point.

[0013] Preferably, a fixed bracket and a telescopic bracket are mounted on both the left and right side walls of the main beam. The fixed brackets are positioned on either side of the telescopic bracket, located in the same horizontal plane, and symmetrically positioned on the left and right sides of the flight control module. This symmetrical design of the fixed brackets and the telescopic brackets effectively improves the stability of the flight control module during flight, reduces the module's bounce upon touchdown, protects the module, and enhances the drone's flight stability and accuracy.

[0014] Preferably, the material of the main beam and the material of the landing gear are both carbon fiber materials, which reduce the weight of the fuselage structure and carry a certain weight load. The material of the fixed frame and the material of the telescopic frame are both aviation aluminum 7075, which play a role in structural strengthening and reinforcement, and have high strength, good mechanical properties, excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: the connection method is simple and convenient, which is convenient for system installation and maintenance; it can reduce the impact of vibration on the flight control module during flight, thereby protecting the flight control module and improving the stability and accuracy of flight; it ensures that the flight control system is not affected by the vibration of the drone and ensures the accuracy of the signal of the flight control system; it reduces the bounce amplitude of the landing gear touching the ground and improves the accuracy of the automatic landing point; it reduces the weight of the fuselage structure and bears a certain weight load; it has high strength, good mechanical properties, excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
