Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of aviation technology, especially to a kind of aircraft wing with deicing function. BACKGROUND
[0002] Wings with airfoil characteristics are used when aircrafts fly, and the shape of the wings directly affects the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft. At high altitudes, the temperature is low, and the aircraft often passes through cold clouds or humid areas. At this time, the surface of the wing will freeze, and after freezing, the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft will be damaged, the performance of the aircraft will be reduced, the resistance of the aircraft will be increased, the fuel consumption will be increased, and in severe cases, the lift of the aircraft will be insufficient to support its weight. At this time, the aircraft will stall, causing serious consequences. Therefore, it is necessary to deice the surface of the wing in flight.
[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN112550665A, published on March 26, 2021, entitled "Aircraft deicing device with elastic skin", discloses a device that can remove ice from the surface of the wing during flight. However, due to the elastic skin, the wing shape will change after deicing and then recover. The characteristics of the wing shape will inevitably change, and the roughness of the surface of the elastic skin is also different from that of the conventional aircraft skin, which will increase the resistance.
[0004] Chinese patent publication number CN111731485A, published on October 2, 2020, entitled "Self-intermittent deicing device, installation method and deicing method", discloses a self-intermittent deicing device that mainly relies on electric heating to heat the contact surface to melt the ice layer and achieve the effect of deicing. The device can complete the deicing task without changing the aircraft wing shape. However, for aircrafts, this high-power surface heating method undoubtedly increases the energy consumption of the aircraft, which reduces the endurance time of the aircraft and shortens the flight range.

[0041] The structure of the driving assembly 3 is shown in Figure 8 The driving assembly 3 is shown in
[0042] The aircraft wing assembly process with deicing function is described in combination with the drawings:
[0043] First, the first comb group 112 of the first wing 11 and the second comb group 122 of the second wing 12 are arranged in cross interval, so that the second rotating shaft hole 124 of the second comb group 122 corresponds to the first rotating shaft hole 115 on the first comb group 112 one by one, and the limiting hole 123 of the second comb group 122 corresponds to the connecting hole 114 on the first comb group 112 one by one. Subsequently, the rotating shaft assembly 13 is sequentially inserted into the second rotating shaft hole 124 and the first rotating shaft hole 115. One end of the rotating shaft 131 is fixed to the input end of the second wing 12 through the bearing 132, and the other end of the rotating shaft 131 is fixed to the free end of the first wing 11 through the bearing 132.
[0044] Then, the inner surface of the connecting hole 114 of the first comb group 112 is evenly coated with glue, then the connecting rod 113 is sequentially inserted into the second comb and the first comb, and the first comb group 112 is glued with the connecting rod 113, and then the first screw is used to fix the first comb group 112 and the connecting rod 113 through the fixed hole 116, so that the first wing 11 can move up and down along the limiting hole 123 around the rotating shaft 131. The fixed hole 116 is a threaded hole, and the first screw is screwed with the fixed hole 116 to make the first screw top to the surface of the connecting rod 113 to fix the connecting rod 113.
[0045] Next, the cam 2 is connected to the output end of the motor 31 of the driving assembly 3. Then, the cam 2 is sent into the first cavity 117 of the cam groove 111 along the second motor groove 125 and the first motor groove 119, and the motor 31 is located in the second motor groove 125 and the first motor groove 119.

[0047] The working process of the aircraft wing with the deicing function is described in combination with the drawings. When the aircraft wing needs to be deiced, the telescopic mechanism 32 drives the cam 2 to move into the second cavity 118 of the cam groove 111 by the motor 31. Then, the motor 31 is started to drive the cam 2 to rotate and in turn drive the first wing 11 to reciprocate up and down along the limiting hole 123 around the rotating shaft 131, forming low-frequency vibration. The shear force generated by the low-frequency vibration breaks the ice layer. The up-and-down reciprocation of the first wing 11 makes the ice layer on the wing assembly 1 separate from the wing assembly 1. Then, the aerodynamic force generated when the aircraft flies blows away the broken ice pieces.
[0048] When the deicing is completed, the motor 31 stops working. At this time, the spring 4 drives the connecting rod 113 to reset by using the elastic force of the spring 4, and in turn makes the first wing 11 return to the initial position. Then, the telescopic mechanism 32 drives the motor 31 again, and in turn drives the cam 2 to return to the first cavity 117 of the cam groove 111. At this time, a part of the motor 31 is located in the first motor groove 119, and the other part is located in the second motor groove 125, so as to make the wing assembly 1 in the locked state.
[0049] In the embodiment, the position of the first wing 11 when the first wing 11 and the second wing 12 are in the locked state is defined as the initial position.
[0050] The above specific embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors.
