[0022] The technical scheme of the utility model will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The utility model embodiment discloses a variable-structure wing, which comprises a folding wing and a folding control mechanism.
[0024] As Figure 1As shown, the folding wing comprises a first wing plate 10, a second wing plate 11, a third wing plate 12, a swept wing 13 and a fixed seat, the opposite sides of the second wing plate 11 are connected with the first side of the first wing plate 10 and the first side of the third wing plate 12 through folding mechanisms in a foldable and lockable manner, the second side of the third wing plate 12 is fixedly connected with the first side of the swept wing 13, the surface of the third wing plate 12 away from the second wing plate 11 is provided with a propeller 30, the propeller 30 operates by relying on the electric energy of a battery, and the second side of the first wing plate 10 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat (not shown in the figure), so that the first wing plate 10, the second wing plate 11 and the third wing plate 12 are folded with each other.
[0025] Specifically, the first wing plate 10, the second wing plate 11 and the third wing plate 12 are all semi-elliptical arc structures, when the first wing plate 10, the second wing plate 11 and the third wing plate 12 are folded, the first wing plate 10, the second wing plate 11 and the third wing plate 12 form a folded semi-elliptical arc structure, and the swept wing 13 can change the sweep angle of the wing, so as to facilitate the control of the inclination of the aircraft, meet the needs of low-speed flight and high-speed flight, and meet the variable-structure requirements of the trans-medium aircraft.
[0026] As shown in the figure, Figure 1 The folding control mechanism comprises a power member 21, folding gears 22 and a translation gear rack 23, the two ends of the second side of the first wing plate 10 are respectively provided with the folding gears 22, the output end of the power member 21 is fixedly connected with one end of the translation gear rack 23, and the translation gear rack 23 is meshed with each group of folding gears 22.
[0027] When the variable-structure wing needs to be unfolded, the power member 21 pushes the translation gear rack 23 to move away from the power member 21, the movement of the translation gear rack 23 drives the folding gears 22 to rotate forward, in the process of forward rotation of the folding gears 22, the second wing plate 11 and the third wing plate 12 are driven by the folding mechanism to unfold away from the first wing plate 10, until the first wing plate 10, the second wing plate 11 and the third wing plate 12 are all unfolded to form a flat structure, and vice versa, when the power member 21 pushes the translation gear rack 23 to move close to the power member 21, the movement of the translation gear rack 23 drives the folding gears 22 to rotate reversely, in the process of reverse rotation of the folding gears 22, the second wing plate 11 and the third wing plate 12 are driven by the folding mechanism to fold towards the first wing plate 10, until the first wing plate 10, the second wing plate 11 and the third wing plate 12 form a folded structure.
