Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone assembly technology, and in particular to a drone tail wing assembly frame. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of drone manufacturing, the tail fin, as a key component, plays a decisive role in the flight performance of the drone due to its shape accuracy. The assembly quality of the tail fin skin directly affects the overall shape of the tail fin. Currently, in the assembly process of drone tail fin skin, because the tail fin skin is usually made of lightweight materials, which are often relatively soft and prone to deformation during assembly, traditional assembly methods make it difficult to effectively control the shape of the skin. This results in the final shape accuracy of the tail fin failing to meet design requirements, seriously affecting the flight performance of the drone. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a drone tail assembly jig, which can improve the assembly quality and production efficiency of drone tails.
[0004] Therefore, the technical solution of this utility model is: a UAV tail wing assembly frame, including a frame body, the frame body including two side columns and an upper crossbeam and a lower crossbeam, a lateral locator is provided on the inner side of the column, a top locator is provided at the upper crossbeam, and a support frame is provided at the lower crossbeam, the lateral locator, the top locator and the support frame form a skeleton positioning area; multiple vertical clamping plates are provided on both sides of the upper crossbeam and the lower crossbeam, the two ends of the vertical clamping plates are mounted on the upper crossbeam and the lower crossbeam through clamping plate mounting seats, and the two ends of the vertical clamping plates are rotatably connected to the clamping plate mounting seats through pins; at least one horizontal clamping plate is provided between adjacent vertical clamping plates, the vertical clamping plates and the horizontal clamping plates form a skin positioning area.
[0005] Based on the above scheme and as a preferred embodiment of the above scheme: after the pin at one end of the vertical clamping plate is removed, the vertical clamping plate can rotate around the pin at the other end.
[0006] Based on the above scheme and as a preferred embodiment of the above scheme: the two ends of the horizontal plate are rotatably mounted on the vertical plate through L-shaped connectors. An adjustment block is fixed on the vertical plate. The adjustment block is provided with a threaded hole. The adjustment bolt can pass through the threaded hole and abut against the position of the horizontal plate, driving the horizontal plate to rotate inward.
[0007] Based on the above scheme and as a preferred embodiment of the above scheme: the L-shaped connector includes a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface that are perpendicular to each other. The horizontal plate is fixed to the first mounting surface by two bolts, and the second mounting surface is mounted on the vertical plate by only a single bolt. The adjusting bolt pushes the horizontal plate inward, and the horizontal plate rotates inward around the single bolt through the L-shaped connector.
[0008] Based on the above scheme and as a preferred embodiment of the above scheme: the support frame is detachably installed at the lower crossbeam, and an auxiliary positioning plate is detachably installed on one side of the vertical plate.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0010] Lateral locators, top locators, and support frames are installed on the columns, upper crossbeams, and lower crossbeams of the main frame. Positioning joints are located using positioning holes and positioning surfaces. The position between the locator and the frame can be adjusted by adding or removing shims, which can accurately determine the position of the UAV tail wing frame and provide an accurate foundation for subsequent skin assembly. Vertical and horizontal clamping plates are used to position and control the shape of the tail wing skin from multiple directions, solving the problem that the skin is easily deformed during assembly due to its soft texture, and significantly improving the assembly quality of the tail wing skin.
[0011] An adjustment block with a threaded hole is set on the outside of the transverse clamping plate. The adjustment bolt passes through the threaded hole and abuts against the transverse clamping plate. Rotating the adjustment bolt can apply pressure to the transverse clamping plate, thereby precisely adjusting the pressure on the skin, effectively controlling the transverse shape of the product, and further ensuring that the shape of the skin meets the design requirements.
[0012] The use of vertical assembly fixtures facilitates assembly operations for operators. The vertical clamping plate is designed to be rotatable. After removing the pin at one end, the vertical clamping plate can rotate around the pin at the other end, thereby freeing up space to place skeleton parts, skins, etc., which facilitates product assembly, reduces obstacles in the assembly process, and further improves assembly efficiency.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the directional terms such as "center", "horizontal (X)", "longitudinal (Y)", "vertical (Z)", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", and "counterclockwise" indicate the orientation and positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They 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. They should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of this utility model.
[0023] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features. Thus, the use of "first" and "second" to define a feature may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "several" or "a number" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0024] See the attached drawings. The UAV tail fin assembly frame described in this embodiment includes a frame body 1. The frame body 1 includes two side columns 11, an upper crossbeam 12, and a lower crossbeam 13. A bottom beam 14 and an inclined support beam 15 are provided below the columns 11 to reinforce the frame body 1. An adjustable height support leg 16 is provided below the bottom beam 14 to adjust the levelness, stability (the ground may be uneven), and height of the frame body 1.
[0025] The inner side of the column 11 is provided with a lateral locator 2, the upper crossbeam 12 is provided with a top locator 3, and the lower crossbeam 13 is provided with a support frame 4. The lateral locator 2, the top locator 3, and the support frame 4 form the frame positioning area. Both the lateral locator 2 and the top locator 3 are provided with positioning holes, which are used to position the product contact surface. The lateral locator 2 and the top locator 3 are set on the frame body, and the position of the locator can be adjusted by adding shims between the locator and the frame body. The support frame 4 is detachably installed at the lower crossbeam 13, and an auxiliary positioning plate is detachably installed on one side of the vertical clamping plate 5, which can play a positioning role when installing the frame. It is detachable during the skinning stage, and the frame is fixed by the top locator 3 and the lateral locator 2.
[0026] Multiple vertical clamping plates 5 are provided on both sides of the upper crossbeam 12 and the lower crossbeam 13. The inner edge of the vertical clamping plate 5 fits the design shape of the skin. At least one horizontal clamping plate 6 is provided between adjacent vertical clamping plates 5. The vertical clamping plates 5 and the horizontal clamping plates 6 constitute the skin positioning area. The two ends of the vertical clamping plates 5 are mounted on the upper crossbeam 12 and the lower crossbeam 13 through clamping plate mounting seats 7. The two ends of the vertical clamping plates 5 are rotatably connected to the clamping plate mounting seats 7 through pins 8. After removing one end of the pin 8 of the vertical clamping plate 5, the vertical clamping plate 5 can rotate around the other end of the pin 8. For example, after removing the pin at the upper end of the vertical clamping plate 5, the connection between the upper end of the vertical clamping plate 5 and the clamping plate mounting seat 7 is released. The vertical clamping plate 5 can rotate around the lower pin, thereby flipping down one side of the vertical clamping plates 5, which facilitates the placement of the skeleton parts and skin into the frame body for assembly.
[0027] The transverse clamping plate 6 is rotatably mounted on the vertical clamping plate 5 at both ends via L-shaped connectors 9. The L-shaped connectors 9 include a first mounting surface 91 and a second mounting surface 92 that are perpendicular to each other. The transverse clamping plate 6 is fixed on the first mounting surface 91 by two first connecting bolts 93, and the second mounting surface 92 is mounted on the vertical clamping plate 5 by a single second connecting bolt 94. An adjusting block 95 is fixed on the vertical clamping plate 5. The adjusting block 95 has a threaded hole 96. An adjusting bolt (not shown in the figure) can pass through the threaded hole 96 and abut against the position of the transverse clamping plate 6. When the adjusting bolt continues to rotate inward, it can push the transverse clamping plate 6, so that the transverse clamping plate 6 and the L-shaped connector 9 rotate inward together around the second connecting bolt 94, thereby applying pressure to the transverse clamping plate 6 and controlling the shape of the skin.
[0028] The usage steps are as follows:
[0029] Step 1: Remove the horizontal clamping plate 6 on one side and loosen the pin at one end of the vertical clamping plate 5 so that the vertical clamping plate 5 can be rotated open.
[0030] Step 2: Fix the skeleton inside the frame body. Position the skeleton using the side locator 2, top fixer 3, support frame 4, auxiliary positioning plate, etc. After fixing, remove the support frame 4, auxiliary positioning plate, and other parts that may interfere with the skin, leaving the side locator and top fixer to fix the skeleton.
[0031] Step 3: Skin one side of the skeleton. After skinning, flip the vertical clamping plate 5 back and re-fix the removed pins so that the inner edge of the vertical clamping plate 5 limits the skin.
[0032] Step 4: Reinstall the removed transverse clamp 6. Use the transverse clamp 6 to define the transverse shape of the skin, and rotate the adjusting bolts as needed to apply pressure to the transverse clamp 6 so that the skin can be better shaped.
[0033] Step 5: After the skin on one side is formed, repeat step 1 to rotate and open the vertical clamping plate 5 on the other side, and then repeat steps 3 and 4 to skin the other side.
[0034] Step 6: After the skin has cured and formed, repeat step 1, rotate and open the vertical clamping plate 5 on either side, and remove the assembled drone tail wing 10 from the locator.
[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
