Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and in particular relates to a lower maintenance and energy management assembly system for UAVs. Background Technology
[0002] This utility model belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, specifically relating to a lower maintenance and energy management assembly system for UAVs used for cargo or industrial operations.
[0003] In recent years, drone technology has developed rapidly, and its application in logistics, emergency rescue, and industrial inspection has become increasingly widespread. In particular, cargo drones have become an effective tool for solving "last-mile" delivery and cross-regional emergency material delivery problems. Currently, cargo drones mainly use two cargo-carrying methods: one is external sling-mounted, where the cargo is suspended below the drone, suitable for transporting large or irregularly shaped goods; the other is internal cargo compartment, where the cargo is placed inside a closed compartment within the drone's fuselage, suitable for transporting goods requiring wind and rain protection.
[0004] However, existing cargo drone designs are typically single-function, with each drone often only capable of carrying one fixed type of cargo, lacking mission adaptability. Switching between transportation modes requires significant modifications to the drone's structure or replacement with a different model, which is cumbersome and costly.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a lower maintenance and energy management system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a lower maintenance and energy management assembly system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which has the advantages of enabling UAVs to quickly switch between two cargo modes and simultaneously solving the problems of inconvenient energy system maintenance and insufficient reliability, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of the UAV lower maintenance and energy management assembly system of this utility model is as follows: A lower maintenance and energy management assembly system for a drone includes a middle cabin and a bottom cabin. The middle cabin is equipped with a power supply system and a sling system that can sling cargo. The bottom cabin can be loaded with cargo. The bottom cabin and the middle cabin are detachably connected. The drone has a sling state and a loaded state. When the drone is in a suspended state, the bottom cabin is separated from the middle cabin, and the suspension system can suspend cargo. When the drone is loaded, the bottom cabin is connected to the middle cabin, and cargo can be loaded in the bottom cabin.
[0008] Furthermore, the central cabin contains a fuselage frame that supports the central cabin. The fuselage frame is connected to the bottom of the central cabin, and the sling system is fixedly connected to the fuselage frame. A floor is provided on the fuselage frame, and the power system is located on the floor.
[0009] Furthermore, the fuselage frame includes two longitudinal beams and a central bulkhead. The two longitudinal beams are located at both ends of the central cabin, and the bottom surfaces of the two longitudinal beams are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the central cabin. The two longitudinal beams are also fixedly connected to the central bulkhead.
[0010] Furthermore, the side ends of the central bulkhead are fixedly connected to the side walls of the central cabin, and the top of the central bulkhead is fixedly connected to the top surface of the central cabin.
[0011] Furthermore, the power system includes two sets of batteries and a sliding rail. The two sets of batteries are connected in parallel to provide power. When one set of batteries fails, the other set of batteries continues to provide power to enable the drone to make an emergency landing. The batteries can slide along the sliding rail, making it easy to install and remove them.
[0012] Furthermore, the battery is equipped with feet, and the battery is slidably connected to the slide rail via the feet.
[0013] Furthermore, the power system also includes a high-voltage control box and a fuse box. The battery supplies power to the high-voltage control box, which is electrically connected to the flight management computer.
[0014] Furthermore, two equipment ports are provided on the central nacelle, forming a maintenance passageway that allows access to the central nacelle for battery installation and removal. Air intake grilles are installed on the equipment ports, with the two grilles positioned opposite each other to ventilate and cool the power system. The air intake grilles allow the central nacelle to be opened and closed.
[0015] Furthermore, a second equipment access cover and an opening cover are provided at the bottom of the mid-section of the cabin. The second equipment access cover and the opening cover can open and close the mid-section of the cabin. By entering the mid-section of the cabin through the opening cover, the landing gear assembly can be installed or removed from the fuselage frame.
[0016] Furthermore, the bottom cabin includes fairing skins, with storage areas for cargo formed between the fairing skins.
[0017] This utility model has the following advantages: through the detachable connection of the bottom cabin, the drone can be quickly and flexibly switched between two modes: suspended and loaded. This solves the core pain point of the traditional drone's single transport mode, enabling it to perfectly adapt to different mission requirements. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0020] Those skilled in the art will understand that although some embodiments herein include certain features included in other embodiments but not others, combinations of features from different embodiments are intended to be within the scope of this invention and form different embodiments. For example, in the claims, any of the claimed embodiments can be used in any combination.
[0021] The following is a reference to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 17 This invention describes a lower maintenance and energy management assembly system for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
[0022] The heavy-duty multi-rotor UAV includes fuselage assembly 1, motor arm assembly 2, and landing gear assembly 3.
[0023] The fuselage assembly system includes a nacelle skin 15, which has a partition 14 inside. The partition 14 divides the nacelle skin 15 into a top nacelle 11 and a middle nacelle 12. The nacelle skin 15 covers the top nacelle 11 and the middle nacelle 12. The nacelle skin 15 includes a left skin 151 and a right skin 152. The left skin 151 and the right skin 152 are separated by the fuselage symmetry plane. The left skin 151 is designed with a recess, and the right skin 152 rests on the recess of the left skin 151. The two are then fixed by a glued connection.
[0024] By using a recessed lap joint and adhesive riveting connection process for the left skin 151 and right skin 152, not only is the flatness of the skin joint ensured, which is beneficial to the aerodynamic shape, but the combination of the advantages of adhesive bonding and riveting also significantly improves the overall sealing, structural rigidity and connection reliability of the fuselage.
[0025] The fuselage assembly system also includes a bottom cabin 13, a top cabin 11, a middle cabin 12 and a bottom cabin 13 arranged sequentially from the top to the bottom of the UAV.
[0026] The modular three-section design of the fuselage assembly system realizes the physical separation and modularization of functions. The top cabin focuses on flight control, the middle cabin focuses on energy supply, and the bottom cabin focuses on mission payload. This design allows each module to be designed, tested, maintained and upgraded independently, which greatly improves R&D efficiency and maintenance convenience.
[0027] The top cabin 11 is equipped with a support assembly, which contains a flight management computer 116. The support assembly is connected to a boom joint 113, and the support assembly is connected to the motor boom assembly 2 through the boom joint 113.
[0028] The support assembly includes a top frame 111, which serves as the equipment installation space. The flight management computer 116 is located within the top frame 111. A reinforcing member 112 is provided within the top frame 111. An arm joint 113 is fixedly connected to the top frame 111. Specifically, the top frame 111 is octagonal and includes four straight sections 1111 and four inclined sections 1112. Both ends of each straight section 1111 are connected to the adjacent inclined section 1112, and both ends of each inclined section 1112 are connected to the adjacent straight section 1111. The arm joint 113 is connected to the inclined section 1112.
[0029] By designing the top frame 111 as an octagon, a robust load-bearing core is formed. Its geometry can efficiently convert the loads from the support arms from multiple directions into compressive and tensile stresses within the frame, avoiding stress concentration and providing excellent bending and torsional stiffness. At the same time, the support arm joint 113 is directly fixed to the inclined section 1112 of the top frame 111, rather than to the skin, so that the huge load from the motor support arm assembly 2 is directly transferred to the strongest core structure of the fuselage. The force flow path is clear and efficient, completely avoiding local instability and fatigue problems caused by connection to the thin skin, and significantly improving safety and lifespan.
[0030] Specifically, the bottom end of the top bulkhead 111 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the top cabin 11, that is, the bottom end of the top bulkhead 111 is fixedly connected to the bulkhead 14, and the top end of the top bulkhead 111 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the top cabin 11.
[0031] The reinforcing member 112 includes a first reinforcing part 1121 and a second reinforcing part 1122. Both the first reinforcing part 1121 and the second reinforcing part 1122 are fixedly connected inside the top partition 111. The first reinforcing part 1121 is arranged longitudinally along the top partition 111, and the shape of the first reinforcing part 1121 is the same as the shape of the longitudinal section of the top partition 111. The second reinforcing part 1122 is arranged transversely along the top partition 111, and the shape of the second reinforcing part 1122 is the same as the shape of the transverse section of the top partition 111. The first reinforcing part 1121 and the second reinforcing part 1122 form a three-dimensional, grid-like reinforcing structure, which divides the internal space of the top partition 111 into multiple stable areas, greatly enhancing the longitudinal and transverse stability of the top partition 111, preventing it from deforming due to huge loads, and providing an extremely stable and vibration-resistant installation environment for the flight management computer 116.
[0032] There are eight outrigger connectors 113. The eight outrigger connectors 113 are divided into four groups according to the motor outrigger. Each group consists of two adjacent outrigger connectors 113. The four groups of outrigger connectors 113 are symmetrical to each other. The motor outrigger is connected to the fuselage using a fork-ear connection structure. The outrigger connector 113 is designed as a double-ear connector. The bottom surface of the outrigger connector 113 is fixedly connected to the partition plate 14. The top surface of the outrigger connector 113 is fixedly connected to the nacelle skin 15. The side of the outrigger connector 113 is fixedly connected to the inclined section 1112 of the top partition frame 111. An aluminum plate is provided between each group of outrigger connectors 113 for fixing the arm cable separation socket.
[0033] The outrigger joint 113 is fixed to the bulkhead 14, the nacelle skin 15, and the top bulkhead 111 on three sides, forming a multi-path load transfer, which further enhances the reliability and stability of the connection. Furthermore, the modularization and standardization of cable management through the aluminum plate avoids mutual interference or wear of cables during vibration, improves system reliability, and facilitates installation and maintenance.
[0034] A connecting skin 16 is provided at the connection between the motor arm assembly 2 and the arm joint 113. The connecting skin 16 has a flanged structure at both the arm end and the fuselage end, which is used to connect with the arm skin and the fuselage skin respectively. It is arranged symmetrically on the left and right, with a total of four groups. Each fairing skin is divided into upper and lower parts, both of which are carbon fiber laminate structures and are detachable to cover the connection between the motor arm assembly 2 and the arm joint 113. The connecting skin 16 not only ensures excellent aerodynamic shape and reduces flight drag, but also facilitates the maintenance of the internal connection structure. The flanged design and the connection with the skin ensure the firmness and smoothness of the fairing itself.
[0035] Each set of boom joints 113 is fixedly connected to a whole-machine lifting joint 117. The whole-machine lifting joint 117 extends beyond the cabin skin 15 and can be connected to the hook of the crane through the whole-machine lifting joint 117, so that the UAV can be lifted and transported. The lifting joint is integrated into the set of boom joints 113, which cleverly utilizes the strongest structure of the fuselage to bear the load when the entire UAV is lifted.
[0036] The front end of the top nacelle 11 is provided with a nose skin 153. The lower end of the nose skin 153 is connected to the corresponding recessed area on the nacelle skin 15. The upper end of the nose skin 153 is connected to the motor support arm and the top bulkhead 111 respectively. Specifically, the fuselage skin is a carbon fiber laminate structure with a recess and an opening in the middle. A nose hatch 156 is connected to the opening of the nose skin 153. The nose hatch 156 can open and close the top nacelle 11.
[0037] The top cabin 11 is equipped with a flight control maintenance cover 155 and a first equipment cover 154. The flight control maintenance cover 155 and the first equipment cover 154 open and close the top cabin 11. The first equipment cover 154 is located at the tail end of the top cabin 11, and the flight control maintenance cover 155 is located directly above the top bulkhead 111 inside the top cabin 11. Through the modular design of the nose cover 156, the flight control maintenance cover 155, and the first equipment cover 154, it is very convenient to access and maintain key equipment such as the flight management computer 116, the airborne data link 115, and the emergency power supply 114 without extensive disassembly of the fuselage.
[0038] The top cabin 11 is equipped with an emergency power supply 114 and an airborne data link 115. In the event of a power system failure, the emergency power supply 114 supplies power to the flight management computer 116 to provide power for the UAV to make an emergency landing. The airborne data link 115 transmits UAV flight control commands, mission payload commands, and link control commands in real time through an antenna. Specifically, the emergency power supply 114, the airborne data link 115, and the flight management computer 116 are all fixedly connected to the partition 14.
[0039] A top antenna is also provided above the top nacelle 11, which is fixed above the joint between the left skin 151 and the right skin 152 of the top nacelle 11.
[0040] The power supply system is installed in the middle cabin 12. The middle cabin 12 is fixedly connected to the top cabin 11. The middle cabin 12 is equipped with a hoisting system that can hoist cargo. Specifically, the middle cabin 12 is equipped with a fuselage frame 121, which supports the middle cabin 12. The fuselage frame 121 is connected to the bottom of the middle cabin 12. The hoisting system is fixedly connected to the fuselage frame 121. A floor 122 is provided on the fuselage frame 121, and the power supply system is located on the floor 122.
[0041] The fuselage frame 121 includes longitudinal beams 1211 and a central bulkhead 1212. There are two longitudinal beams 1211, which are located at both ends of the central cabin 12. The bottom ends of the two longitudinal beams 1211 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the central cabin 12. The two longitudinal beams 1211 are fixedly connected to the central bulkhead 1212. There are three central bulkheads 1212. The side ends of the central bulkheads 1212 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the central cabin 12, and the top ends of the central bulkheads 1212 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the central cabin 12. That is, the top ends of the central bulkheads 1212 are fixedly connected to the bulkhead 14. In other embodiments of this utility model, the number of central bulkheads 1212 can also be other, as long as they can support the central cabin 12.
[0042] The fuselage frame 121 provides a strong load-bearing foundation for the central cabin 12, which effectively distributes the load of the suspended cargo, the weight of the battery 127, and the impact force of the landing gear to the entire fuselage structure, avoiding local overload.
[0043] The fuselage frame 121 is fixedly connected to the top bulkhead 111 via the bulkhead 14. Thus, when the UAV is in flight, the huge lift generated by the motor and various loads during maneuvering are first transferred to the top bulkhead 111 through the boom joints 113. The bulkhead 14 acts as a crucial "force transfer station" or "structural bridge". The bulkhead 14 then evenly distributes the load to the entire fuselage frame 121 connected to it. In this way, the huge force that was originally concentrated on a few boom joints 113 is transferred and distributed to the robust frame of the entire central cabin 12.
[0044] Specifically, the floor 122 is installed on two longitudinal beams 1211. The floor 122 is also designed with a downward-facing flange structure around its perimeter. It is fixed to the left skin 151 and right skin 152 of the fuselage by adhesive riveting. The planar area of the floor 122 is fixed to the longitudinal beams 1211 and the central partition 1212 by adhesive riveting.
[0045] The power system includes two sets of batteries 127 and a slide rail 126. The two sets of batteries 127 are connected in parallel to provide power. When one set of batteries 127 fails, the other set of batteries 127 continues to provide power to enable the drone to make an emergency landing. The batteries 127 are equipped with feet, which allow them to slide along the slide rail 126 for easy installation and removal. Specifically, the feet are made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to reduce the friction between the batteries 127 and the slide rail 126. A PTFE abrasion-resistant plate is fixedly connected to the floor 122 to prevent wear and tear on the composite floor 122 when the batteries 127 are installed or removed.
[0046] The power system also includes a high-voltage control box 124 and a fuse box 125. A battery 127 supplies power to the high-voltage control box 124. The high-voltage control box 124 is electrically connected to the flight management computer 116. The battery 127 can supplement the emergency power supply 114 with power through the high-voltage control box 124. The emergency power supply 114 is activated when the high-voltage control box 124 and the fuse box 125 fail.
[0047] Two equipment ports are provided on the central engine compartment 12, forming a maintenance passage for entering the central engine compartment 12 to install and remove the battery 127. Air intake grilles 159 are installed on the equipment ports. The two air intake grilles 159 are arranged opposite each other to ventilate and dissipate heat from the power system. The air intake grilles 159 can open and close the central engine compartment 12. The equipment ports and air intake grilles 159 on both sides serve as natural ventilation ducts to effectively dissipate heat from the battery 127 system, which generates a lot of heat, and also form a convenient maintenance passage, making it easy for personnel to enter the compartment for operation and maintenance.
[0048] The middle cabin 12 is provided with a second equipment access cover 157 and an opening cover 158 at the bottom. The second equipment access cover 157 and the opening cover 158 can open and close the middle cabin 12. The landing gear assembly 3 can be installed or removed from the fuselage frame 121 by entering through the opening cover 158 from the bottom of the middle cabin 12.
[0049] The bottom cabin 13 can be loaded with cargo. The bottom cabin 13 and the middle cabin 12 are detachably connected. The drone has a hoisting state and a loading state. When the drone is in the hoisting state, the bottom cabin 13 is separated from the middle cabin 12, and the hoisting system can hoist cargo. When the drone is in the loading state, the bottom cabin 13 is connected to the middle cabin 12, and cargo can be loaded in the bottom cabin 13.
[0050] The detachable connection of the bottom cabin 13 enables the drone to quickly and flexibly switch between two modes: sling-mounted and loaded. This solves the core pain point of the traditional drone's single transport mode, allowing it to perfectly adapt to different mission requirements, such as internal cargo transport requiring low-drag long-distance flight and external sling-mounted operations requiring precise airdrop, significantly expanding application scenarios and mission efficiency.
[0051] The bottom cabin 13 includes a fairing skin, which has wave-transmitting requirements and is specifically a fiberglass foam sandwich structure. The fairing skin forms a placement area for placing cargo. Preferably, when the UAV is in a loaded state, the bottom cabin 13 is screwed to the middle cabin 12. In other embodiments of this utility model, the bottom cabin 13 and the middle cabin 12 can also be connected by other detachable connection methods.
[0052] The motor support arm assembly 2 includes four support arm components 21, which are symmetrically arranged. Each support arm component 21 is fixedly connected to a connecting joint 22, which can be connected to a support arm connector 113 to connect the motor support arm assembly 2 to the body assembly 1. Specifically, the connecting joint 22 is a single-ear connector. When the connecting joint 22 is connected to the support arm connector 113, the connecting joint 22 is inserted into the gap of the double-ear connector of the support arm connector 113, and the through hole on the connecting joint 22 coincides with the through hole on the support arm connector 113. Then, the connecting joint 22 and the support arm connector 113 are fixed by bolts passing through the coincident through holes.
[0053] The connection between the motor support arm assembly 2 and the body assembly 1 adopts a fork-ear connection with a single-ear joint and a double-ear joint, and is fixed by high-strength bolts. This allows it to perfectly withstand the combined loads of tension, compression, and shear generated by the motor thrust, gravity, and motor inertia. Compared with a simple flange connection, the fork-ear connection can better disperse stress, avoid stress concentration, and significantly improve fatigue life.
[0054] Specifically, the support arm 21 has an installation groove 24, and the fixing member 26 is limited in the support arm 21 by the installation groove 24.
[0055] The end of the support arm 21 away from the connecting joint 22 is connected to a motor mounting base 23. The electric propulsion system is installed on the motor mounting base 23. The electric propulsion system is the core power source of this heavy-duty multi-rotor UAV, providing the thrust required for hovering and flight. Specifically, the motor mounting base 23 has a support arm mounting interface, into which the support arm 21 can be inserted. The motor mounting base 23 has an electric propulsion mounting interface, into which the electric propulsion system can be installed.
[0056] The boom member 21 is provided with a mounting slot 24 for mounting an electronic speed controller 25. The electronic speed controller 25 receives speed commands from the flight management computer 116 and drives the electric propulsion system through a vector control algorithm to ensure the operation of the electric propulsion system. Specifically, each boom member 21 has two mounting slots 24, and the two mounting slots 24 are located on the same straight line to utilize the oncoming airflow during flight to form a chimney effect and achieve efficient heat dissipation.
[0057] The support arm 21 includes two support arm skins. The two support arm skins are joined together to form the support arm 21. The mounting groove 24 is opened on the two support arm skins. A maintenance opening is opened on either support arm skin. A support arm cover 29 is provided on the maintenance opening. The support arm cover 29 can open and close the maintenance opening to facilitate the maintenance of the power regulator 25.
[0058] By setting up maintenance openings, maintenance personnel do not need to disassemble the entire support arm. They can directly access the power regulator 25 by simply opening the support arm cover 29 to perform operations such as inspection, replacement, or plugging and unplugging cables, thus greatly increasing maintenance efficiency.
[0059] A fixing member 26 is provided in the mounting slot 24 of the boom 21 to facilitate the fixed installation of the ESC 25 and to enhance the structural environment of the mounting slot 24. The fixing member 26 includes a fixing bracket 261 and a reinforcing frame 262. The fixing bracket 261 has an ESC mounting port 263 adapted to the ESC 25. Both ends of the fixing bracket 261 are fixedly connected to the reinforcing frame 262. The reinforcing frame 262 is arranged longitudinally along the boom 21, and the shape of the reinforcing frame 262 is the same as the shape of the longitudinal section of the boom 21. The reinforcing frame 262 provides support for the installation of the ESC 25 and significantly improves the overall bending and torsional stiffness of the boom. When the heavy-load UAV is maneuvering, the root of the boom is subjected to huge stress. The reinforcing frame 262 can effectively prevent the boom from deforming and ensure aerodynamic efficiency and flight stability.
[0060] The fixed bracket 261 includes a fixed part 2611 and an extension part 2612. The fixed part 2611 and the extension part 2612 are fixedly connected. The ESC mounting port 263 is opened in the fixed part 2611 and the extension part 2612. The fixed part 2611 is larger than the mounting groove 24. The extension part 2612 is adapted to the mounting groove 24. When the extension part 2612 extends beyond the mounting groove 24, the extension part 2612 is flush with the outer wall of the support arm 21. At this time, the ESC 25 also does not protrude beyond the support arm 21, so as to facilitate heat dissipation and reduce wind resistance.
[0061] The electric propulsion system includes eight motors 27 and eight double-bladed propellers 28. Every two motors 27 and every two double-bladed propellers 28 form a group. Each group of motors 27 and double-bladed propellers 28 is connected to the support arm 21. Each motor 27 drives its corresponding double-bladed propeller 28.
[0062] The landing gear assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the fuselage frame 121. Specifically, the landing gear assembly 3 includes a landing gear crossbeam, which is fixedly connected to the longitudinal beam 1211 of the fuselage frame 121. Both ends of the landing gear crossbeam are fixedly connected to connecting joints 22. The landing gear crossbeam is connected to the landing gear bracket through the connecting joints 22.
