Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aircraft model flap technology, and relates to a single-rail flap structure for aircraft models. Background Technology

[0002] Flaps are movable wing surfaces installed on the trailing or leading edge of an aircraft wing. They adjust lift and drag by changing the wing's curvature and area. They are one of the core components of flight control and have functions such as improving stall characteristics and reducing takeoff and landing distances. Based on their characteristics, they are divided into types such as trailing edge flaps and leading edge flaps.

[0003] When using the above technology, the following technical problems were found in the existing technology: In the traditional model aircraft field, multi-hinge linkage flaps are usually used. The typical structure is a multi-rail parallel mechanism, which is usually controlled by multiple parallel rails to deflect and adjust the flap angle. This has the disadvantages of a large number of parts, high assembly complexity, and high maintenance cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that in the traditional model aircraft field, multi-hinge linkage flaps are usually used. The typical structure is a multi-rail parallel mechanism, which usually uses multiple parallel rails to control the flap angle for deflection and adjustment. This has the disadvantages of a large number of parts, high assembly complexity, and high maintenance cost.

[0005] The present invention discloses a single-rail flap structure for a model aircraft, comprising a mounting block, a connecting hole on the top outer side of the mounting block, a fixing rod installed inside the connecting hole, a rotating component installed on the outer side of the fixing rod, a sliding component installed at the end of the mounting block, and a flap body provided on the outer side of the mounting block. The flap body is used in conjunction with the sliding component and the rotating component.

[0006] The rotating assembly includes a connecting rod, and a rotating shaft is installed at the end of the connecting rod away from the fixed rod. The connecting rod is rotatably connected to the outside of the fixed rod. A first rotating hole is opened at the bottom of the flap body, and the first rotating hole is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating shaft.

[0007] The sliding component includes a second rotating hole located at the bottom outer side of the flap body. A sliding groove is provided on the outer side of the mounting block, and a sliding groove is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. The sliding groove rotates inside the second rotating hole.

[0008] The flap body is equipped with a flap keel inside.

[0009] The connecting rod is made of polyethylene.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the use of rotating and sliding components makes it more flexible to adjust the angle of the flap body, while reducing the number of parts, resulting in a higher structural simplification rate. The assembly process is also simpler than that of traditional flaps, significantly reducing the complexity of the assembly process, reducing maintenance time, and lowering maintenance costs.

[0011] By using the flap keel inside the flap body, the weight of the device is reduced by 70% compared to a solid structure. At the same time, it has better fatigue resistance and impact resistance, achieving weight reduction while increasing the strength of the flap body. Attached Figure Description

[0022] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a single-rail flap structure for a model aircraft includes a mounting block 1. The mounting block 1 is made of carbon fiber, which has the characteristics of high strength and light weight, and can reduce the load on the model aircraft. A connecting hole 12 is provided on the top of the outer side of the mounting block 1. A fixing rod 13 is installed inside the connecting hole 12. A rotating component is installed on the outer side of the fixing rod 13. A sliding component is installed at the end of the mounting block 1. A flap body 11 is provided on the outer side of the mounting block 1. The flap body 11 is used in conjunction with the sliding component and the rotating component. The rotating component includes a connecting rod 2, which is rotatably connected to the outside of the fixing rod 13. A rotating shaft 21 is installed at the end of the connecting rod 2 away from the fixing rod 13. A first rotating hole 22 is provided at the bottom of the flap body 11. The first rotating hole 22 is located outside the rotating shaft 21 and is rotatably connected. The sliding component includes a second rotating hole 3, which is located at the bottom of the outer side of the flap body 11. A sliding groove 32 is provided on the outer side of the mounting block 1. A sliding groove 32 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 32 and rotates inside the second rotating hole 3.

[0025] During operation, the two sets of mounting blocks 1 are first connected by the fixing rod 13. Then, the connecting rod 31 passes through the second rotating hole 3 at the bottom of the flap body 11 and the sliding groove 32 on the outside of the mounting block 1, so that the connecting rod 31 can slide inside the sliding groove 32 and rotate inside the second rotating hole 3. Then, the first rotating hole 22 at the bottom of the flap body 11 is connected to the connecting rod 2 through the rotating shaft 21, so that when the connecting rod 2 is pushed, the connecting rod 31 can slide arbitrarily inside the sliding groove 32. When the connecting rod 31 is at one end of the sliding groove 32, the flap body 11 can still be rotated around the connecting rod 31 by adjusting the angle of the connecting rod 2, which increases the flexibility of the angle of the flap body 11. The use of the rotating component and the sliding component makes the angle adjustment of the flap body 11 more flexible, while reducing the number of parts, resulting in a high structural simplification rate. The assembly process is also simpler than that of traditional flaps, significantly reducing the complexity of the assembly process, reducing maintenance time, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] like Figure 3 - Figure 5 As shown, the flap body 11 is provided with flap keel 4 inside, and the connecting rod 31 is made of polyethylene. Polyethylene has the characteristics of being easy to mold, recyclable and having high strength, which helps to reduce the production cost of the device.

[0028] The work involves using the flap keel 4 inside the flap body 11 to reduce the weight of the device by 70% compared to a solid structure, while also providing better fatigue resistance and impact resistance, thus increasing the strength of the flap body 11 while reducing weight.

[0029] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the present utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of the present utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. The present utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
