[0002] Bionic aircraft are aircraft developed by imitating the flight principles and structural designs of living organisms in nature. Their design inspiration comes from the flight patterns of birds, insects, bats, and other creatures, aiming to improve the performance, efficiency, and adaptability of aircraft. The "wings" in bionic aircraft refer to the flight surfaces on both sides of the aircraft's fuselage, typically used to provide lift and stability. The design inspiration for bionic aircraft comes from living organisms in nature, and butterflies, as insects with unique flight capabilities, have become an important reference in bionic aircraft design.

[0003] Although the biomimetic design of butterfly wings brings significant advantages in maneuverability and aerodynamic performance to the flanks of aircraft, the structural strength and weight of biomimetic aircraft flanks remain a major challenge in practical applications. The lightness and flexibility of butterfly wings are key to their efficient flight, but this design places high demands on the structural strength of the aircraft, especially under conditions of large external forces or complex airflow. The flanks need to ensure sufficient rigidity and durability. Therefore, the structural strength of current biomimetic aircraft flanks still needs to be improved while ensuring lightweight design.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a biomimetic aircraft wing to solve the above problems.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of this application concept, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a biomimetic aircraft side wing, including an aircraft frame 1 and side wing portions 3 on both sides thereon. The front end of the aircraft frame 1 is provided with a fixed frame 2 and a drive component 4 mounted on the fixed frame 2 for driving the side wing portions 3 to move. The aircraft frame 1 is provided with a battery pack 5 and a microcontroller 6. The side wing portion 3 includes a fore wing 31, a rear wing 32 and a connecting block 33. The connecting block 33 is used to connect the fore wing 31 and the rear wing 32.

[0029] The forewing 31 includes a first outer contour frame 311 and a wing surface 34 laid on the first outer contour frame 311. The first outer contour frame 311 is provided with a first main drive rod 312 and a second main drive rod 313, and one end of the first main drive rod 312 and the second main drive rod 313 are connected to the connecting block 33. The first outer contour frame 311 is also provided with a first support rod 314 and a second support rod 315 that are cross-connected with the first main drive rod 312 and the second main drive rod 313.

[0030] The rear wing 32 includes a second outer contour frame 321 and a wing surface 34 laid on the second outer contour frame 321. The interior of the second outer contour frame 321 is provided with a diagonal rod 322.

[0031] In this embodiment, the aircraft frame 1 provides support, and the mounting bracket 2 is installed at the front end of the frame to fix the drive component 4. The drive component 4 is responsible for controlling the movement of the side wing 3 through the microcontroller 6. The microcontroller 6 controls the movement of the side wing 3 according to the flight status of the aircraft to adapt to different flight environments and requirements. The side wing 3 consists of a forewing 31, a rear wing 32, and a connecting block 33. The forewing 31 and the rear wing 32 are connected by the connecting block 33. The forewing 31 and the rear wing 32 are respectively equipped with a first outer contour frame 311 and a second outer contour frame 321 and a wing surface 34, and the internal structure is arranged with a first main drive rod 312, a second main drive rod 313, a first support rod 314, a second support rod 315, and a diagonal rod 322. These designs ensure the rigidity and stability of the structure while minimizing unnecessary weight. The first main drive rod 312 and the second main drive rod 313 inside the forewing 31 achieve motion control through connection with the connecting block 33. The first support rod 314 and the second support rod 315 provide necessary structural support to ensure uniform force distribution of the forewing 31 and prevent deformation or damage due to external forces. The rear wing 32 enhances the overall structural strength through the diagonal rod 322, ensuring that the side wing 3 can withstand greater wind pressure and airflow pressure during flight while maintaining high stability.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the length of the first main drive rod 312 is greater than that of the second main drive rod 313, and the first main drive rod 312 is cross-connected with the first support rod 314 and the second support rod 315 respectively. The first support rod 314 is located at the outer part of the middle of the first outer contour frame 311, and one end of the second main drive rod 313 is connected to the second support rod 315, and the second support rod 315 is located at the middle part of the first outer contour frame 311.

[0033] In this embodiment, the difference in length between the first main drive rod 312 and the second main drive rod 313 helps optimize the motion control and external force resistance of the side wing. The first main drive rod 312 is cross-connected with the first support rod 314 and the second support rod 315, making the structure more mechanically stable. Through the cross-connection, it can be ensured that when the aircraft is subjected to lateral forces, the motion of the side wing 3 is not easily affected by external airflow or wind pressure, avoiding excessive deformation. The first support rod 314 is located in the outer part of the middle of the first outer contour frame 311. This arrangement helps to better distribute the load when the side wing is subjected to forces. The outer position allows the first support rod 314 to effectively support a wider range of force transmission, preventing side wing deformation or damage caused by mechanical imbalance. The end of the second main drive rod 313 is connected to the second support rod 315, and the second support rod 315 is located in the middle of the first outer contour frame 311. This design allows the second main drive rod 313 to provide stable mechanical support through the second support rod 315, avoiding excessive warping or deformation during flight. Furthermore, because the second support rod 315 is located in the middle, the aircraft's flanks can effectively distribute force through this central support when subjected to airflow or external forces, thereby preventing imbalance and maintaining the aircraft's stability. This cross-connection method also enhances rigidity, prevents vertical or lateral misalignment between support rods, and improves the overall durability of the structure.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, a triangular structure 316 is formed between the first main drive rod 312, the second main drive rod 313, and the second support rod 315.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first main drive rod 312, the second main drive rod 313 and the second support rod 315 are combined to form a triangular structure 316, which can disperse and evenly transmit force when the aircraft is subjected to external forces such as airflow and crosswinds, avoid force concentration and reduce the risk of structural deformation, and ensure that the side wing 3 is more stable during flight, which can effectively improve the stability of the overall structure.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, one end of the diagonal rod 322 is connected to the connecting block 33, and the other end is connected to the middle position of the edge of the second outer contour frame 321.

[0037] In this embodiment, the positioning of the diagonal rod 322 at the center of the edge of the second outer contour frame 321 ensures that the force is more evenly distributed across the entire frame. Especially when subjected to external force, it can effectively transfer the pressure to other support components, thus avoiding excessive local force or stress concentration and improving the rigidity of the overall structure.

[0038] like Figure 3As shown, the wing surface 34 located on the first outer contour frame 311 is connected to the first main drive rod 312, the second main drive rod 313, the first support rod 314 and the second support rod 315 by adhesive bonding.

[0039] The wing surface 34 located on the second outer contour frame 321 is connected to the diagonal rod 322 by adhesive.

[0040] In this embodiment, by bonding the wing surface 34 to the first main drive rod 312, the second main drive rod 313, the first support rod 314, the second support rod 315 on the first outer contour frame 311 and the diagonal rod 322 on the second outer contour frame 321, an efficient, stable and lightweight design of the connecting components is achieved. This bonding connection technology can not only improve the mechanical properties, sealing performance and vibration resistance of the structure, but also optimize the production process, reduce costs and improve the overall aerodynamic characteristics.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, wing surface 34 is a thin film made of polyurethane material.

[0042] In this embodiment, using a thin film made of polyurethane as the wing surface 34 can make it lighter and more durable while also being wear-resistant.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, a gap 35 is formed between the forewing 31 and the hindwing 32.

[0044] In this embodiment, the design of the gap 35 helps to divert airflow and reduce the pressure difference between the surfaces of the forewing 31 and the hindwing 32, thereby effectively reducing the drag caused by the pressure difference. In addition, the gap 35 can also help to disperse the structural stress caused by the airflow impact, thereby reducing the structural fatigue damage of the side wing 3.

[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
