Detailed Implementation

[0033] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0034] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are only used to describe differences in name and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Physical quantities in formulas, unless otherwise specified, should be understood as basic quantities of the International System of Units (SI) base units, or derived quantities derived from basic quantities through mathematical operations such as multiplication, division, differentiation, or integration.

[0035] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0036] As shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, the aircraft provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes: an aircraft body 100, a wall-mounted actuator 200, and a charging receiver 300; the wall-mounted actuator 200 and the charging receiver 300 are respectively installed on the aircraft body 100; the charging receiver 300 is adapted to a charging device 600 installed on the side wall 500, and the charging receiver 300 is connected to the charging device 600 when the wall-mounted actuator 200 is connected to the side wall 500.

[0037] The sidewall 500 can be installed vertically or at an angle, allowing the aircraft body 100 to be wall-mounted along its surface. Multiple aircraft can be simultaneously parked along the same sidewall 500, significantly improving space utilization. When the aircraft body 100 lands, the wall-mounted actuator 200 connects to the sidewall 500 via vacuum adsorption, magnetic attraction, or gripping, ensuring the aircraft body 100 remains stably parked relative to the sidewall 500. Simultaneously, the charging receiver 300 docks with the charging device 600, and the force of the wall-mounted actuator 200 ensures accurate and tight alignment between them. This eliminates the need for additional mechanical equipment or manual docking, improving space utilization and charging efficiency during parking and charging, making it particularly suitable for high-density aircraft storage.

[0038] As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 6, in this embodiment of the invention, the aircraft fuselage 100 has fixed wings 110 and an aero-engine 120; on a projection plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft fuselage 100, the fixed wings 110 and the aero-engine 120 are spaced apart. The aero-engine 120 can be a ducted engine, a turbojet engine, or other gas turbine jet engine, or it can be a detonation engine, a ramjet engine, or a solid-fuel booster engine.

[0039] The fixed wing 110 can generate lift in the airflow during level flight, while the aero-engine 120 draws in air from the front and expels it to the rear, thus propelling the aircraft forward during level flight. When wall-mounted, the nose of the aircraft fuselage 100 is raised, and the aero-engine 120 provides lift to the airflow expelled from the tail of the aircraft, allowing the aircraft fuselage 100 to approach the side wall 500 in an upward-tilted state, which facilitates the connection of the wall-mounted actuator 200 to the corresponding part of the side wall 500.

[0040] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the wall-mounted actuator 200 includes a suction cup 210 and a negative pressure suction device 220 connected to the suction cup 210.

[0041] The negative pressure suction device 220 uses a fan or air pump to extract gas from the suction cup 210, thereby reducing the internal air pressure of the suction cup 210 so that the suction cup 210 can be stably adsorbed on the surface of the side wall 500.

[0042] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, in an optional embodiment, the wall-mounted actuator 200 includes an electromagnet 230, and the side wall 500 is provided with a magnetic attraction device corresponding to the electromagnet 230. The presence or absence of magnetic force can be controlled by controlling the energization state of the electromagnet 230. When the electromagnet 230 is energized, its magnetic force can attract the magnetic attraction device on the side wall 500, thereby allowing the aircraft to be stably parked relative to the side wall 500.

[0043] As shown in Figures 5, 6, and 7, the wall-mounted actuator 200 includes a robotic arm 240, and a gripper 510 adapted to the robotic arm 240 is provided on the side wall 500. The robotic arm 240 includes a multi-segment bendable arm and a gripper connected to the arm. When the aircraft approaches the side wall 500, the robotic arm 240 can be driven by setting a motion path, or the robotic arm 240 can be controlled according to visual detection signals until the robotic arm 240 firmly grips the gripper 510, thereby achieving wall-mounted parking of the aircraft.

[0044] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the charging receiver 300 includes a power receiving component 310 and a docking component 320; the power receiving component 310 and the docking component 320 are spaced apart, or the docking component 320 surrounds the power receiving component 310; the side wall 500 is provided with a plug-in 520 adapted to the docking component 320.

[0045] Furthermore, the power receiving component 310 can be wired charging via docking or wireless charging via contact. During charging, the docking component 320 and the plug-in component 520 are nested together to ensure accurate and stable alignment.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, the charging receiver 300 has a positive power receiving terminal 301 and a negative power receiving terminal 302; the side wall 500 is provided with a positive charging terminal and a negative charging terminal, with the positive charging terminal corresponding to the positive power receiving terminal 301 and the negative charging terminal corresponding to the negative power receiving terminal 302, so as to realize wired charging.

[0047] In another alternative embodiment, the charging receiver 300 is configured as a wireless charging receiver, and the charging device 600 includes a wireless charging transmitter corresponding to the wireless charging receiver. Wireless charging can be achieved using the principle of electromagnetic induction, which reduces the accuracy requirements for charging alignment.

[0048] As shown in Figures 2, 3, 6, and 7, the aircraft also includes a communication device 400, and a communication docking part 530 corresponding to the communication device 400 is provided on the side wall 500. By docking the communication device 400 with the communication docking part 530, communication between the aircraft and the parking equipment can be realized, and charging can be started after communication is established.

[0049] It should be noted that when the wall-mounted actuator 200 is facing the side wall 500, the distance between the charging receiver 300 and the charging device 600 is less than the distance between the communication device 400 and the communication docking part 530. This allows the charging line to dock first and the communication line to dock later. When the communication signal is detected, the charging line is already tightly docked, which can prevent electric sparks from being generated during the charging process.

[0050] As shown in Figures 2, 5, and 6, a bracket 700 is connected to the bottom of the aircraft fuselage 100. The wall-mounted actuator 200 or charging receiver 300 is mounted on the bracket 700. Alternatively, the wall-mounted actuator 200 and the charging receiver 300 are respectively mounted on the bracket 700, with the bracket 700 supporting them to maintain a certain distance between the wall-mounted actuator 200 and the charging receiver 300 and the fuselage and fixed wing 110. In an optional embodiment, the fixed wing 110 can be configured as a foldable wing, thereby further reducing the space occupied by the aircraft after parking and increasing the distribution density of the aircraft in the parked state.

[0051] As shown in Figures 1, 4, 5 and 7, the aircraft parking device provided in this embodiment is adapted to the aircraft described in the above embodiments; the aircraft parking device includes: a side wall 500 and a charging device 600 installed on the side wall 500; the side wall 500 is provided with a wall-mounted part corresponding to the wall-mounted actuator 200.

[0052] The wall-mounted portion includes a planar structure that can be attracted by a suction cup 210, or a magnetic attraction device that can be attracted by the magnetic force of an electromagnet 230, or a gripper 510 that can be grasped by a robotic arm 240. Multiple aircraft can be parked along the surface of the side wall 500. When the side wall 500 is vertical or tilted relative to the horizontal plane, the footprint can be reduced and the storage density of the aircraft can be increased.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
