[0037] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0038] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0039] Please refer toFigures 1 to 12 The wing folding device 100 provided by the utility model embodiment comprises a driving mechanism 10, a fixing piece 20, a rotating piece 30, a connecting rod transmission mechanism 40 and a locking mechanism 50.

[0040] The driving mechanism 10 is rotationally connected to the fixed wing 200; the fixing piece 20 is connected to the fixed wing 200; the rotating piece 30 is connected to the folding wing 300 and rotationally arranged with the fixing piece 20; the connecting rod transmission mechanism 40 is rotationally arranged with the driving mechanism 10, the fixing piece 20 and the rotating piece 30, so that the rotating piece 30 can rotate relative to the fixing piece 20 under the driving of the driving mechanism 10, thereby realizing the unfolding or folding of the folding wing 300 relative to the fixed wing 200; and the locking mechanism 50 is used for locking between the fixing piece 20 and the rotating piece 30 when the fixing piece 20 and the rotating piece 30 are in the folding unfolding or unfolding state, thereby realizing the locking between the fixed wing 200 and the folding wing 300 in the unfolding state or the folding state.

[0041] The wing folding device 100 described above can rotate the connecting rod transmission mechanism 40 under the driving of the driving mechanism 10, and can drive the rotating piece 30 to rotate relative to the fixing piece 20 due to the rotationally arranged connecting rod transmission mechanism 40 with the fixing piece 20 and the rotating piece 30, so that the folding wing 300 connected to the rotating piece 30 can be folded or unfolded relative to the fixed wing 200 connected to the fixing piece 20. Since the unmanned aerial vehicle in the folded state occupies a small volume, it can be conveniently stored or transported.

[0042] The wing folding device 100 in the unfolded state is shown in Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 9 The wing folding device 100 in the folded state is shown in Figure 10 .

[0043] When the wing folding device 100 is used, the fixing piece 20 is installed in the fixed wing 200 in a fixed manner, and the rotating piece 30 is installed in the folding wing 300 in a fixed manner. The fixing piece 20 and the rotating piece 30 are fixed relative to the fixed wing 200 and the folding wing 300, respectively, and are not movable, and are assembled into a whole by means of bolt connection or welding.

[0044] The connecting rod transmission mechanism 40 is used for receiving the driving force from the driving mechanism 10, so as to rotate and drive the rotating piece 30 to rotate relative to the fixing piece 20.

[0045] Specifically, refer to Figures 6 to 10As shown, it is a structural schematic view of the connecting rod transmission mechanism 40 of the embodiment, the connecting rod transmission mechanism 40 comprises a first connecting rod 41 and a second connecting rod 42; one end of the first connecting rod 41 is rotationally arranged with the driving mechanism 10, the other end is rotationally arranged with the fixed part 20, and the middle part of the first connecting rod 41 is rotationally arranged with one end of the second connecting rod 42, the other end of the second connecting rod 42 is rotationally arranged with the rotating part 30.

[0046] For the convenience of description, the end connected with the driving mechanism 10 of the first connecting rod 41 is defined as the first end 411, the end connected with the fixed part 20 is defined as the second end 412, the middle part connected with the second connecting rod 42 is defined as the middle end 413, the end connected with the first connecting rod 41 of the second connecting rod 42 is defined as the third end 421, and the end connected with the rotating part 30 of the second connecting rod 42 is defined as the fourth end 422. It can be understood that the connecting rod transmission mechanism 40 further comprises a first rotating shaft 43, a second rotating shaft 44, a third rotating shaft 45 and a fourth rotating shaft 46; the first end 411 is rotationally arranged with the driving mechanism 10 through the first rotating shaft 43, the second end 412 is rotationally arranged with the fixed part 20 through the second rotating shaft 44, the middle end 413 and the third end 421 are rotationally arranged through the third rotating shaft 45, and the fourth end 422 is rotationally arranged with the rotating part 30 through the fourth rotating shaft 46. It can be understood that in order to realize the rotational arrangement of the fixed part 20 and the rotating part 30 with the second end 412 and the fourth end 422 respectively, the fixed part 20 is provided with a first connecting lug 21, and the rotating part 30 is provided with a second connecting lug 31; the first connecting lug 21 is rotationally arranged with the second end 412 through the second rotating shaft 44, and the extension direction of the first connecting lug 21 is substantially parallel to the surface of the fixed part 20; the second connecting lug 31 is substantially perpendicular to the surface of the rotating part 30.

[0047] Therefore, when the rotating part 30 needs to be adjusted from the unfolded state to the folded state with the fixed part 20, under the driving of the driving mechanism 10, the connecting point of the first connecting lug 21 and the second end 412 serves as the basic support point, the acting force is transmitted from the first end 411 to the middle end 413, the first end 411 and the middle end 413 both move in the clockwise direction around the second rotating shaft 44 as the center point, the position of the first end 411 gradually lowers, the first connecting rod 41 drives the second connecting rod 42 to rotate, the second connecting rod 42 rotates in the clockwise direction under the pushing of the middle end 413, the rotation of the second connecting rod 42 supports the rotating part 30 with the fifth rotating shaft 47, and the rotating part 30 rotates around the fifth rotating shaft 47, so that the rotating part 30 is folded relative to the fixed part 20. When the rotating part 30 needs to be adjusted from the folded state to the unfolded state with the fixed part 20, the movement direction of the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 is opposite to that when unfolded.

[0048] Understandably, since the folding wing 300 has a certain weight, in order to ensure the stability of the connection of the folding wing 300 relative to the fixed wing 200, the third connecting lug 22 is further arranged on the fixing piece 20, and the fourth connecting lug 32 is further arranged on the rotating piece 30, the third connecting lug 22 and the fourth connecting lug 32 are rotationally arranged through the fifth rotating shaft 47, under the driving of the driving mechanism 10, the rotating piece 30 rotates in the clockwise direction around the fifth rotating shaft 47, so that the folding of the folding wing 300 is realized.

[0049] Further, in order to ensure the stability of the rotation of the folding wing 300 relative to the fixed wing 200, the third connecting lug 22 and the fourth connecting lug 32 are arranged on both sides of the connecting rod transmission mechanism 40 along the width direction of the fixed wing 200 or the folding wing 300, so that the gravity from the folding wing 300 can be dispersed at each position, ensuring the stability of the rotation.

[0050] Further, please refer to Figure 9 In the setting of the first connecting rod 41 of the embodiment, the first connecting rod 41 includes a first rotating part 414 and a second rotating part 415 arranged at an acute angle, the first rotating part 414 and the driving mechanism 10 are rotationally arranged, the second rotating part 415 and the fixing piece 20 are rotationally arranged, the connecting point of the first rotating part 414 and the second rotating part 415 and one end of the second connecting rod 42 are rotationally arranged, the first rotating part 414 has a first end 411, the second rotating part 415 has a second end 412, and the connecting point thereof is an intermediate end 413. Thus, the first connecting rod 41 is arranged in the mode of two parts arranged at an acute angle, compared with the mode of arranging the first connecting rod 41 in an arc shape, when driving the first connecting rod 41 to move, the installation space between the fixing piece 20 and the rotating piece 30 can be saved.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 The structure schematic view of the driving mechanism 10 of the embodiment of the utility model, the driving mechanism 10 includes the first driving piece 11 and the connecting piece 12 arranged at one end of the first driving piece 11, the output end of the first driving piece 11 and the connecting rod transmission mechanism 40 are rotationally arranged, the connecting piece 12 and one end and the fixed wing 200 are rotationally arranged, so that under the driving of the driving mechanism 10, the connecting rod transmission mechanism 40 rotates, and the connecting piece 12 rotates relative to the fixed wing 200, to realize the folding of the folding wing 300, through the arrangement of the connecting piece 12, the connection between the driving mechanism 10 and the fixed wing 200 is facilitated, and the rotation of the driving mechanism 10 relative to the fixed wing 200 can be realized.

[0052] Specifically, the driving mechanism 10 in the embodiment is a first electric cylinder, which comprises a first cylinder body 111 and a first piston shaft 112 arranged on the first cylinder body 111. The first piston shaft 112 is arranged to be capable of stretching and retracting, and the stretching and retracting of the first piston shaft 112 is capable of driving the rotation of the link transmission mechanism 40. In other embodiments, the driving mechanism 10 can also be arranged in a mode of being driven by a motor. The rotation of the motor is capable of driving the rotation of the link transmission mechanism 40 through the output shaft of the motor, so as to realize the folding or unfolding of the folding wing 300. For example, the output shaft of the motor is connected to the first end 411 of the first link 41, and the rotation of the motor is capable of driving the rotation of the link transmission mechanism 40.

[0053] It can be understood that, when the driving mechanism 10 in the embodiment is arranged as the first electric cylinder, the stretching direction of the first electric cylinder can be arranged to be perpendicular to the surface of the fixed part 20 or the rotating part 30, so as to make full use of the space in the skin of the fixed wing 200.

[0054] Further, the driving mechanism 10 and the link transmission mechanism 40 in the embodiment are arranged in the skin of the fixed wing 200, and an opening can be arranged in the skin of the fixed wing 200, and the first piston shaft 112 can be arranged to pass through the opening, so as to realize the connection and transmission with the link transmission mechanism 40.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 9 Since the driving mechanism 10 and the link transmission mechanism 40 can be deviated during installation or processing, in order to ensure the installation accuracy of the driving mechanism 10 and the link transmission mechanism 40 during use, the connecting part 12 comprises a first connecting rod 121 and a second connecting rod 122 which are screw-connected. One end of the first connecting rod 121 is connected to the first driving part 11, and one end of the second connecting rod 122 is connected to the fixed wing 200. Thus, by screwing the first connecting rod 121 and the second connecting rod 122, the installation accuracy of the first driving part 11 and the link transmission mechanism 40 can be adjusted, so as to ensure the smoothness during later use.

[0056] In addition, since the folding wing 300 is folded relative to the fixed wing 200, the folding angle of the folding wing 300 is greater than 90 degrees, and thus the folding wing 300 generates a downward force due to its own gravity, which generates a pulling force on the first driving member 11. In order to protect the first driving member 11, the wing folding device 100 further comprises a mounting seat 60 and a buffer structure 70, both of which are mounted on the fixed wing 200, and the driving mechanism 10 is rotationally connected to the mounting seat 60. The buffer structure 70 is used to apply a force to the mounting seat 60 in the opposite direction of the pulling force when the driving mechanism 10 applies a pulling force to the mounting seat 60, so that the driving mechanism 10 can be mounted through the mounting seat 60, and the buffer structure 70 can be applied to the mounting seat 60. The force in the opposite direction of the pulling force is applied to the mounting seat 60 to offset the pulling force and protect the electric cylinder.

[0057] Specifically, the buffer structure 70 of the present embodiment comprises a sleeve rod 71, an abutting head 72 arranged at one end of the sleeve rod 71, and an elastic member 73 sleeved on the sleeve rod 71. The two ends of the elastic member 73 abut against the mounting seat 60 and the abutting head 72, respectively, to apply an elastic force to the mounting seat 60. When the first driving member 11 applies a pulling force to the mounting seat 60, the mounting seat 60 compresses the elastic member 73, which generates an elastic counterforce in the opposite direction of the pulling force applied by the first driving member 11 to the mounting seat 60, and the two forces offset each other to protect the first driving member 11. In some embodiments, the elastic member 73 is a spring, and in other embodiments, the elastic member 73 can be made of rubber. Specifically, the direction of the pulling force generated by the folding wing 300 is indicated by arrow a in Figure 9 , and the direction of the elastic force generated by the elastic member 73 is indicated by arrow b in Figure 9 .

[0058] It can be understood that in order to ensure the size and uniformity of the applied elastic force, the buffer structure 70 comprises a plurality of sleeve rods 71 and a plurality of elastic members 73, one elastic member 73 and one sleeve rod 71 are arranged one by one and uniformly arranged on the outer periphery of the connecting point of the first driving member 11.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12In the embodiment, the fixing member 20 comprises a first plate body 23, a first reinforcing plate 24 arranged on the first plate body 23, and a first connecting lug 21 and a third connecting lug 22 arranged on the first reinforcing plate 24; the rotating member 30 comprises a second plate body 33, a second reinforcing plate 34 arranged on the second plate body 33, and a second connecting lug 31 and a fourth connecting lug 32 arranged on the second reinforcing plate 34, so that when the fixing member 20 and the rotating member 30 are arranged, the first reinforcing plate 24, the first connecting lug 21 and the third connecting lug 22 can be integrally formed and then mounted on the first plate body 23, and the second reinforcing plate 34, the second connecting lug 31 and the fourth connecting lug 32 can be integrally formed and then mounted on the second plate body 33, so as to ensure the structural strength of the fixing member 20 and the rotating member 30 respectively.

[0060] Referring to Figures 3 to 5 and Figure 8 When the locking mechanism 50 is arranged, in order to reasonably utilize the space, the locking mechanism 50 is arranged between the fixing member 20 and the rotating member 30 in the unfolded state, and the extending direction is perpendicular to the parallel direction of the fixing member 20 and the rotating member 30, that is, since the fixing member 20 and the rotating member 30 have a certain space therebetween in the unfolded state, the locking mechanism 50 is arranged in the space, the space is reasonably utilized, and the extending direction of the locking mechanism 50 is arranged in the parallel direction of the fixing member 20 and the rotating member 30, so that the structure of the fixing member 20 or the rotating member 30 does not need to be modified too much, the installation and forming of the entire folding wing mechanism are facilitated, and the installation cost is reduced.

[0061] Specifically, the locking mechanism 50 comprises a second driving member 51, a locking pin 52 and a locking lug 83, the second driving member 51 is mounted on the fixing member 20, the locking pin 52 is arranged at the output end of the second driving member 51, the locking lug 83 is connected to the rotating member 30 and is provided with an unfolded locking position 81 corresponding to the unfolded state and a folded locking position 82 corresponding to the folded state, and the locking pin 52 is used for locking the unfolded locking position 81, the folded locking position 82 and the fixing member 20 respectively, that is, when the rotating member 30 and the fixing member 20 are in the unfolded state, the locking pin 52 locks the fixing member 20 and a locking piece 80 located at the unfolded locking position 81; when the rotating member 30 and the fixing member 20 are in the folded state, the locking pin 52 locks the fixing member 20 and a locking piece 80 located at the folded locking position 82.

[0062] Specifically, the locking piece 80 of the embodiment is arc-shaped and has the same curvature as the arc of rotation of the rotating member 30. The locking piece 80 is driven to rotate by the rotation of the rotating member 30. When the locking piece 80 is connected to the rotating member 30, a locking lug 83 is arranged on the locking piece 80. The length direction of the locking lug 83 is perpendicular to the surface of the locking piece 80, so that the locking lug 83 can be fixed to the surface of the rotating member 30. Further, in order to realize the locking between the folding wing 300 and the fixed wing 200 after folding, the fixed member 20 further comprises a fixing lug 25. The fixing lug 25 is arranged on the first plate body 23 and is located on both sides of the first plate body 23 along the height direction of the first plate body 23. The fixing lug 25 is arranged in cooperation with the locking piece 80 to facilitate the locking of the folding wing 300 after folding relative to the fixed wing 200.

[0063] Specifically, the unfolding locking position 81 and the folding locking position 82 of the embodiment are provided with locking holes for the locking pin 52.

[0064] In the embodiment, the second driving member 51 is a second electric cylinder, which comprises a second cylinder body 511 and a second piston shaft 512 arranged on the second cylinder body 511. The second piston shaft 512 is extended and retracted to drive the locking pin 52 to move in a straight line, so as to push or pull the locking pin 52 into or out of the locking piece 80 and the fixing lug 25.

[0065] It can be understood that due to the production error or installation error between parts, when the second driving member 51 drives the locking pin 52, the locking pin 52 may not be accurately pushed into the fixing lug 25 and the locking position in a straight line. Therefore, when the locking pin 52 is connected to the second piston shaft 512 of the second driving member 51, the two are arranged in rotation to provide a space for the locking pin 52, so as to avoid the situation that the locking pin 52 is stuck when it is pushed to lock.

[0066] The wing folding device 100 has the following advantages: the connecting rod transmission mechanism 40 is arranged to include the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 arranged in rotation, so that the driving force of the driving mechanism 10 is transmitted from the first connecting rod 41 to the second connecting rod 42, thereby realizing the rotation and unfolding or rotation and folding of the rotating part 30 relative to the fixed part 20; the connecting part 12 is arranged between the driving mechanism 10 and the fixed wing 200, so that the driving mechanism 10 is conveniently installed and conveniently arranged in rotation relative to the fixed wing 200; the connecting part 12 includes the threaded first connecting rod 121 and the second connecting rod 122, so that the driving mechanism 10 is conveniently installed and adjusted; the buffer structure 70 is arranged, so that when the driving mechanism 10 applies a separation pulling force to the fixed wing 200, the buffer structure 70 applies an opposite force to the driving mechanism 10, the two forces are offset, and the service life of the driving mechanism 10 is ensured; the locking mechanism 50 is arranged between the fixed part 20 and the rotating part 30 in the unfolded state, so that the space between the two parts is reasonably utilized.
