Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the trailing edge noise reduction device technical field, concretely relates to a low altitude unmanned aerial vehicle propeller trailing edge noise reduction device of bionic sawtooth structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] The unmanned aerial vehicle propeller is a key component of the unmanned aerial vehicle, generates lift and thrust through rotation, realizes the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the air, and needs noise reduction treatment when the unmanned aerial vehicle propeller is running. The trailing edge of the propeller is usually equipped with a noise reduction device for noise reduction, and the existing trailing edge noise reduction device is a device for noise reduction.

[0003] In terms of the optimization of the shape contour of the propeller blade of the existing unmanned aerial vehicle, the authorized patent CN220974574U discloses a noise reduction propeller and an indoor unmanned aerial vehicle. The noise radiation intensity is reduced by changing the flow field characteristics of the airflow flowing through the blade surface through special design of the blade tip, pitch and other geometric parameters, and reducing airflow separation and vortex generation. Although the noise can be reduced, a number of wind tunnel experiments show that the noise reduction effect is poor, the aerodynamic layout is damaged, the lift-drag ratio of the blade is reduced, and the flight efficiency and endurance are affected.

[0004] In the field of sound-absorbing coating application, the patent CN219428379U proposes a technical solution of setting a sound-absorbing cotton tube on each propeller end. The sound-absorbing cotton absorbs and dissipates sound energy, and the noise generated by the rotation of the propeller is weakened. The sound-absorbing coating technology takes the sound-absorbing cotton tube as an example, and works in an environment with humidity exceeding 80%. At the same time, when encountering wind and sand, the coating is easily worn and loses noise reduction.

A plurality of rows of fiber fluff are arranged on the blade base layer, and a similar non-smooth surface is constructed on the blade surface to achieve the purpose of noise reduction by suppressing airflow turbulence development. In the bionic flow control structure technology, the sawtooth structure has a fatigue crack rate of 20% after running for 120 hours at a high speed (more than 8000 rpm), which threatens flight safety.

[0006] In view of the above existing technologies, it is known that the existing unmanned aerial vehicle propeller noise reduction technology has the problems of insufficient noise reduction effect, poor environmental adaptability, low structural strength, and affects the effect of noise reduction treatment of the propeller during use of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
