Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of aircraft, and in particular relates to a transmission mechanism for a micro unmanned aircraft. Background Art
[0002] Flapping-wing aircraft mimic the flight of birds or insects, boasting small size, light weight, low energy consumption, low cost, and low noise. Researchers at home and abroad have conducted extensive research on biomimetic flapping-wing aircraft. Most existing flapping-wing aircraft rely on wing flapping to generate lift during flight, while a few can achieve unpowered gliding by maintaining aerodynamic force to maintain wing dihedral. Birds achieve maximum flight efficiency by generating lift through flapping wings and gliding through potential energy.
[0003] At present, the research on the flight mechanism and control method of bionic flapping-wing aircraft is still incomplete, and there is a lack of research on composite aircraft with both fixed-wing and flapping-wing modes. CN117818876A discloses a flapping-wing mechanism with independently controllable flapping start and end positions, which can realize both gliding and flapping modes. This aircraft can better simulate the flight state of birds, but it does not have power when gliding and cannot fully exert the performance of the aircraft. The flight mechanism of propeller-pull-in fixed-wing aircraft is well studied, the structure and control are simple, and the speed is faster than that of bionic flapping-wing aircraft. However, the shielding area of its fuselage and wings is large, resulting in deterioration of drag characteristics. In addition, its structural design is difficult and has certain restrictions on the size of the propeller, especially in the tail layout. These shortcomings easily affect the performance of propeller-pull-in fixed-wing aircraft, including flight efficiency, controllability and structural design methods. In view of this, it is of great significance to design a flapping-wing / fixed-wing composite aircraft that can combine the advantages of both bionic flapping-wing aircraft and propeller-pull-in fixed-wing aircraft.

Preferably, the propeller shaft 19 is fixedly connected with the nose cone 21. The limiting hole 24 is arranged on the second large-tooth gear 3, the limiting hole 24 limits the movement range of the electromagnet push-pull rod 27, so that the electromagnet push-pull rod 27 moves forward, and preferably, the bidirectional self-sustaining push-pull electromagnet 9 is arranged at the tail of the device, so that the flight mode switching is facilitated.

[0036] The positive direction of the brushless motor shaft 10 in a certain rotating direction in the front direction is taken as the positive direction, and the other rotating direction is taken as the reverse direction. From the front direction, the rotating directions of the first one-way clutch 17 and the second one-way clutch 18, which can transmit torque, are opposite, when the brushless motor shaft 10 rotates in the positive direction, the first large-tooth gear 6 in the first reduction gear mechanism rotates in the reverse direction, at this time, the resistance between the inner ring and the periphery of the first one-way clutch 17 is large, the propeller 13 has a positive direction movement trend, and at this time, the resistance between the inner ring and the periphery of the second one-way clutch 18 is small; when the brushless motor shaft 10 rotates in the reverse direction, the second large-tooth gear 3 in the second reduction gear mechanism rotates in the positive direction, at this time, the resistance between the inner ring and the outer ring of the first one-way clutch 17 is small, the propeller 13 has a reverse direction movement trend, and at this time, the resistance between the inner ring and the periphery of the second one-way clutch 18 is large.

At this time, the brushless motor rotating shaft 10 cannot transmit torque to the propeller rotating shaft 19 through the second one-way clutch 18, and the propeller 13 has a positive direction movement trend under the action of aerodynamic force. At this time, the third one-way clutch 20 inner ring and the periphery have a large resistance in the positive direction movement to balance the positive and negative direction movement trend of the propeller 13, and the propeller 13 does not rotate.

By controlling the electrification time of the double-way self-maintaining push-pull electromagnet 9, it can be ensured that the time range of the fixed wing is in the time range of the driving force of the electromagnet push-pull rod. At this time, the brushless motor rotating shaft transmits torque to the propeller rotating shaft 19 through the second one-way clutch 18, the propeller rotating shaft 19 has a reverse rotation trend under the drive of the brushless motor 2, at this time, the third one-way clutch 20 inner ring and the periphery have very small resistance in the positive direction movement, and the propeller 13 rotates reversely to provide a pulling force.
[0040] The transmission mechanism of the utility model realizes that the flapping wing movement mechanism and the propeller 13 share a brushless motor driving system, and the brushless motor 2 controls the conversion between the flapping wing mode and the propeller pull-in power gliding mode through forward and reverse rotation, since the driving system is shared, the components are less, the brushless motor 2 forward and reverse rotation control is easy, the transmission mechanism of the utility model has the advantages of light weight, simple structure, high reliability, easy control.
[0041] In the transmission mechanism, the third rocker 23 is rotatably connected with the first rocker 12 and the second rocker 22 through the central rotating shaft 25, the rocker mechanism drives the wing 8 to flap and fly; the fixed base 1 is fixedly connected with the bidirectional self-sustaining push-pull electromagnet 9 at one end, the bidirectional self-sustaining push-pull electromagnet 9 is slidably connected with the electromagnet push-pull rod 27 outside, the fixed base 1 is provided with the guide rail 15 outside, and the guide rail 15 is slidably connected with the central rotating shaft 25; the fixed base 1 is rotatably connected with the wing shaft 16 outside, and the fixed base 1 is rotatably provided with the two connecting plates 26 through the wing shaft 16 outside, so that the connecting plate 26 is limited, and the connecting plate 26 is provided with a plurality of wings 8 outside, and the plurality of wings 8 are combined into a wing structure for flapping.
