TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to unmanned plane structure technical field, concretely relates to a double slit flap mechanism of light unmanned plane. BACKGROUND
[0002] As the core aerodynamic component of improving the lift and control performance of the unmanned plane, the flap is usually installed at the trailing edge of the wing of the fixed-wing unmanned plane, and when it is unfolded, the airflow separation of the wing surface can be delayed through airflow guiding, thereby significantly increasing the lift of the unmanned plane at the current airspeed. In recent years, with the rapid development of unmanned plane platforms towards miniaturization, lightweight and short take-off and landing, how to balance the fine flow field regulation and control and realize efficient driving of the flap mechanism in limited space has become the core to break through the design bottleneck of traditional flap structures.
[0003] Looking at the existing flap driving forms, they are mainly divided into flap mechanisms driven by joint motor sets-rack gears, slide rail roller driving mechanisms based on triangular hinged support rods, double slit flap mechanisms driven by driven screws, etc. The joint motor set-rack gear driving mechanism realizes flap movement control through built-in gear and rack cooperation with rail roller transmission, reduces aerodynamic resistance, and has simple structure and stable control. The slide rail roller mechanism based on the triangular hinged support rod enhances the unfolding stability through the triangular stable layout, and the bilateral symmetrical layout strengthens the anti-unbalance load capacity. The double slit flap mechanism driven by the driven screw realizes the failure redundancy mechanism through the design of the shear pin and the secondary connection, realizes the cooperative control of the double flap surfaces through the universal joint and the chain structure, and significantly improves the control accuracy and lift performance.
[0004] However, the joint motor set-rack driven flap mechanism has large volume and high weight of the motor set and multi-stage transmission structure, the gear and rack are prone to wear in frequent expansion and contraction, the maintenance cost is high, and it is difficult to adapt to the light and small unmanned plane with strict requirements on lightweight. The slide rail roller driving mechanism based on the triangular hinged support rod has high overall redundancy due to the layout of the support rod and multiple hinge points, which is not conducive to the integrated design in the limited space of the small unmanned plane, and the multiple openings on the wing and flap skin affect the aerodynamic integrity, the slit width is small, the movement lead is short, and the lift improvement effect is poor. The double slit flap mechanism driven by the driven screw has excessively high system complexity and cost for the pursuit of aerodynamic optimization. The screw transmission has very high processing precision requirement, which is difficult to meet the demand of low cost and easy maintenance; the structure relying on precision bearings and universal joints is prone to fatigue wear under high-speed and high-frequency operation, and has poor reliability.

The linkage mechanism 3 drives the primary flap main beam 4-2 to perform the rearward and downward combined motion along the primary flap movement guide rail 1-1-2 through the sixth pin X6, and at the same time, the secondary flap 5 main beam is driven to complete the same phase deployment action along the secondary flap track 4-1-3 through the rigid connection of the sixth linkage 3-6 and the seventh linkage 3-7, so that the primary flap and the secondary flap are synchronized to the maximum deployment angle, forming a double-slotted aerodynamic configuration, and significantly improving the lift coefficient and flow field control efficiency. When the flap retraction command is triggered, the servo 2 reversely drives the servo arm 2-2 to rotate, and the spanwise through drive rod 2-4 reversely moves along the through rod movement guide rail 1-2-3, forcing the linkage mechanism 3 to drive the primary flap and the secondary flap main beam to move in the reverse direction along the deployment path, until the primary flap 4 and the secondary flap 5 are completely reset to the initial retracted state, restoring the integrity of the wing aerodynamic shape. In this process, the primary flap 4 and the secondary flap 5 are cooperatively deployed and retracted along the predetermined track, the motion trajectory is controlled accurately, and the transmission efficiency is relatively high.
