TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of aircraft structure design technology, especially relates to a structure of wire trough conforming to wing. BACKGROUND
[0002] In unmanned aerial vehicle, rocket, spaceship and other unmanned aerial vehicles, the wire trough is a relatively common structure, and the cables and pipelines are often connected with each other between each cabin section. Some accessories do not allow the cables to pass through the interior, or the cables passing through the interior have the disadvantages of high cost, high risk coefficient, poor maintainability, etc. For example, the engine, warhead, fuel tank and the like. Therefore, it is necessary to set up external wire trough structures such as belly fin, side fin and back fin on the outside of the unmanned aerial vehicle body. However, the existence of the external wire trough will bring difficulties in waterproof sealing and fixed connection of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and also increase the aerodynamic resistance of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
[0003] At present, data signals are mainly transmitted between each cabin section of the unmanned aerial vehicle through a wired mode, or oil, gas and other media are transmitted through pipelines, so the external wire trough is indispensable. If the wire trough can be cancelled, the wind area of the unmanned aerial vehicle will be reduced, the aesthetic degree of the unmanned aerial vehicle will be increased, and the manufacturing and maintenance cost will be reduced. For special equipment, the effect of cancelling the wire trough is more remarkable. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
[0004] The utility model aims at designing a wire trough structure conforming to the wing for unmanned aerial vehicles, which aims to cancel the separate wire trough, utilize the space inside the wing to form a cable and pipeline routing channel, realize the arrangement of the cables and pipelines under the premise of not increasing parts, reduce the aerodynamic resistance area, increase the aesthetic degree of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and reduce the manufacturing cost.
[0005] Technical scheme: a wire trough structure conforming to the wing, comprising a wing left wall plate, a wing right wall plate, a countersunk head bolt / nut, a wing joint, a front cabin, a rear cabin, a cable and a cross screw / nut; the wing left wall plate and the wing right wall plate are symmetrical parts, are screwed into an integral part through a plurality of groups of countersunk head bolts / nuts, and the inner surfaces of the wing left wall plate and the wing right wall plate are provided with a sink groove and a wing joint matching area and a connecting hole at a root chord position; the front cabin and the rear cabin are connected in a sleeved mode and are fixedly connected by a plurality of groups of bolts and a supporting plate nut.
[0006] Further, the front cabin only allows the cables to pass through the interior in the region near the front end face, and the remaining regions are integral closed pressure cavities which prohibit the cables from passing through the interior.
[0007] Further, the outer surface of the front cabin is provided with four groups of joints arranged in the shape of "X", and each group of joints can realize the installation of one wing.
[0008] Furthermore, the front cabin of each joint is designed with circular wiring holes at the symmetrical position of the plane, and the rear cabin also has wiring holes at the wing chord plane position.
[0009] Furthermore, before the left and right wing panels are screwed together as a whole, the cables are laid into the cable trays of the left or right wing panel, and a small amount of epoxy resin is used to pre-fix the cables in the trays to prevent the cables from slipping into the mating surface and being crushed when the left / right wing panels are connected into a whole using countersunk bolts / nuts.
[0010] Furthermore, after the wings are screwed together into an integral assembly, they are positioned by the mating area of the wing panel and the lug slot at the front cabin connector, and locked in place by using screw-on bolts / nuts to achieve fixed installation with the front cabin. However, before installation, the exposed cable ends at the root chord of the wing are inserted into the cable holes in the front and rear cabins respectively.
[0011] Technical Effects: This invention achieves a conformal design between the cable tray and the wing by setting a cable routing channel in the wing. Only a channel for laying cables and pipes needs to be formed within the wing. Compared to the commonly used ventral, side, and dorsal fins, this invention achieves a design without a separate cable tray, effectively reducing overall aerodynamic drag and solving the problems of cable tray connection and watertightness with the fuselage.
