[0027] Reference Figure 1-5A segmented unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) fuselage structure includes a middle fuselage 20 and a front fuselage 10 and a rear fuselage 30 fixed to its two sides. Connecting components A21, B11, and C31 are respectively provided on both sides of the middle fuselage 20 and on the opposite sides of the front fuselage 10 and the rear fuselage 30. Connecting components A21, B11, and C31 each include multiple connecting flanges A22, B12, and C32, and multiple connecting lugs A23, B13, and C33. The connecting flanges B12 and C32, and the connecting lugs B13 and C33 of the front fuselage 10 and the rear fuselage 30 correspond to the connecting flanges A22 and A23 on both sides of the middle fuselage 20 and are fixed with bolts. The connection between the front fuselage 10, the middle fuselage 20, and the rear fuselage 30 is achieved through the connecting flanges and connecting lugs in connecting components A21, B11, and C31. The design of the connecting flanges and connecting lugs allows for precise alignment of the components, which are then secured with bolts to ensure a robust and reliable connection. This segmented design not only simplifies the assembly process and improves production efficiency but also facilitates disassembly and maintenance when needed, further enhancing the practicality and flexibility of the drone.
[0028] In some embodiments, the front fuselage 10 includes two sets of symmetrically arranged front main beams 14, front auxiliary upper beams 15, and front auxiliary lower beams 16. The front auxiliary upper beams 15, front main beams 14, and front auxiliary lower beams 16 on the same side are arranged from top to bottom and welded together by multiple reinforcing pipes. The front auxiliary upper beams 15, front main beams 14, and front auxiliary lower beams 16 on adjacent sides are welded together by multiple reinforcing pipes. The middle fuselage 20 includes two sets of symmetrically arranged middle main beams 24, middle auxiliary upper beams 25, and middle auxiliary lower beams 26. The middle auxiliary upper beams 25, middle main beams 24, and middle auxiliary lower beams 26 on the same side are arranged from top to bottom and welded together by multiple reinforcing pipes. The middle auxiliary upper beams 25, middle main beams 24, and middle auxiliary lower beams 26 on adjacent sides are welded together by multiple reinforcing pipes. A reducer frame 27 is welded and fixed between the middle auxiliary upper beam 25, middle main beam 24, and middle auxiliary lower beam 26 on adjacent sides via multiple reinforcing pipes. The reducer frame 27 has extended ends on both sides of its bottom near the rear fuselage 30. The rear fuselage 30 includes two sets of symmetrically arranged rear main beams 34 and rear auxiliary lower beams 35. The rear main beams 34 and rear auxiliary lower beams 35 on the same side are arranged from top to bottom and fixed by welding multiple reinforcing pipes. The rear main beams 34 and rear auxiliary lower beams 35 on adjacent sides are fixed by welding multiple reinforcing pipes. The side of the rear auxiliary lower beam 35 away from the middle fuselage 20 is inclined upward and welded and fixed to the end of the rear main beam 34.
[0029] In the aforementioned technical solution, a robust frame structure is formed through the symmetrical arrangement of main beams, upper secondary beams, and lower secondary beams in the forward fuselage 10, mid-fuselage 20, and aft fuselage 30, along with the welding and fixing of reinforcing tubes. This structural design not only improves the strength and rigidity of each part but also ensures the balance of the fuselage through symmetrical arrangement. During flight, the forward fuselage 10 and mid-fuselage 20 can effectively withstand the rotor's thrust, bending moment, and torque loads while maintaining structural stability and reliability. The gearbox frame 27 of the mid-fuselage is welded and fixed between the upper secondary beam 25, the main secondary beam 24, and the lower secondary beam 26 of the mid-fuselage via reinforcing tubes, providing a stable mounting platform for key components such as the gearbox. The extended end design of the gearbox frame facilitates better connection with the aft fuselage 30, ensuring the continuity and stability of the entire fuselage structure. The rear sub-beam 35 of the rear fuselage 30 is inclined upwards on the side furthest from the mid-fuselage 20 and welded to the end of the rear main beam 34. This inclined design helps optimize aerodynamic performance, reduce flight drag, and enhance the connection strength between the rear fuselage and the mid-fuselage, ensuring the continuity and stability of the entire fuselage structure. This design improves assembly efficiency while ensuring the reliability and safety of the UAV under complex flight conditions, further enhancing the overall performance of the UAV.
[0030] In some embodiments, the connecting flange B12 and multiple connecting lugs B13 of the forward fuselage 10 are welded and fixed to the ends of the forward main beam 14, the forward upper sub-beam 15, and the forward lower sub-beam 16, respectively. By welding the connecting flange B12 and connecting lugs B13 to the ends of the forward main beam 14, the forward upper sub-beam 15, and the forward lower sub-beam 16, a robust connection node is formed. During assembly, these connection nodes are bolted to the connecting flange A22 and connecting lugs A23 of the mid-fuselage, ensuring a firm and reliable connection between the forward fuselage and the mid-fuselage. This welding method not only improves the strength of the connection points but also effectively transmits various loads during flight.
[0031] In some embodiments, the connecting lugs A23 of the middle fuselage 20 are respectively fixed to both ends of the middle main beam 24; the multiple connecting lugs A23 of the middle fuselage 20 are fixed to the middle auxiliary upper beam 25 and the middle auxiliary lower beam 26 near the front fuselage 10, and are also fixed to the extension ends on both sides of the bottom of the reducer frame 27.
[0032] Multiple robust connection nodes are formed by fixing connecting lugs A23 to both ends of the main beam 24, the upper and lower intermediate beams 25 and 26 near the front fuselage 10, and the extended ends on both sides of the bottom of the gearbox frame 27. During assembly, these connection nodes are bolted to the connecting flange B12 and connecting lugs B13 of the front fuselage, ensuring a firm and reliable connection between the middle fuselage and the front fuselage. This design not only improves the strength of the connection points but also effectively transmits various loads during flight, such as tension, bending moment, and torque, ensuring the stability and integrity of the entire fuselage structure during flight. The design of connecting lugs A23 on the extended ends on both sides of the bottom of the gearbox frame 27 further enhances the connection strength between the middle fuselage and the front fuselage, ensuring the continuity and stability of the entire fuselage structure, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the UAV under complex flight conditions.
[0033] In some embodiments, the connecting flange C32 and connecting lug C33 of the rear fuselage 30 are respectively fixed to the rear main beam 34 and the rear sub-lower beam 35 at one end near the middle fuselage 20.
[0034] A robust connection node is formed by fixing the connecting flange C32 and connecting lug C33 to one end of the rear main beam 34 and rear sub-lower beam 35 near the mid-fuselage 20. During assembly, these connection nodes are bolted to the connecting flange A22 and connecting lug A23 of the mid-fuselage, ensuring a firm and reliable connection between the rear fuselage and the mid-fuselage. This design not only improves the strength of the connection points but also effectively transmits various loads during flight, such as tension, bending moment, and torque, ensuring the stability and integrity of the entire fuselage structure during flight. In this way, the connection between the rear fuselage and the mid-fuselage is tighter, ensuring the continuity and stability of the entire fuselage structure, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the UAV under complex flight conditions.
[0035] In some embodiments, the connecting lug A23 of the mid-fuselage 20 is a double lug, while the connecting lugs B, C13, and C33 of the front fuselage 10 and rear fuselage 30 are single lugs. The double lugs correspond to the single lugs and clamp around the upper and lower sides of the single lugs. This clamping design of the double lugs not only enhances the strength of the connection points but also effectively disperses and transmits various loads during flight, reducing the risk of structural failure due to localized stress concentration, and further improving the reliability and safety of the UAV.
[0036] The double-ear connecting lug A23 of the mid-fuselage 20, in conjunction with the single-ear connecting lugs B13 and C33 of the front and rear fuselage 30, forms a more robust connection structure. During assembly, the double-ear lugs clamp onto the upper and lower sides of the single-ear lugs and are secured with bolts, ensuring a firm and reliable connection between the various fuselage parts. This design not only improves the strength of the connection points.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
