Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and in particular to a vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAV for logistics transportation. Background Technology

[0002] Drone logistics, through technological innovation and policy support, has moved from pilot projects to large-scale applications, significantly improving logistics efficiency, reducing costs, and expanding into scenarios difficult for traditional transportation to cover. In existing technologies, for vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) drones, the wing is the core component of its fixed-wing configuration. The wing is a relatively fragile structure easily damaged by collisions during transport and emergency landings. Wing damage not only results in high costs for overall aircraft repair and replacement but also requires significant time, hindering practical application. Therefore, we propose a VTOL fixed-wing drone for logistics transportation. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for logistics transportation.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: Design a vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAV for logistics transportation, including a fuselage, side wings and a tail fin. The fuselage is connected to the side wings and tail fin through a quick-locking mechanism. The quick-locking mechanism includes a detachably connected locking plate 1 and a locking plate 2. Locking plate 1 is provided on both the side wings and the tail fin. Locking plate 2 is provided on the fuselage and corresponds one-to-one with locking plate 1. A vertical take-off rod is provided on the side wings, and a navigation light is installed at the end of the side wings.

[0005] In the above scheme, the fuselage is sequentially equipped with a power module, avionics system, GNSS antenna and image transmission antenna, and a gimbal is located at the bottom of the fuselage.

[0006] In the above scheme, a buckle plate is connected to the first locking plate via a damping pivot, and a hook is movably connected to the buckle plate. The second locking plate is provided with a hook plate that engages with the hook.

[0007] In the above scheme, positioning rods are fixed on both sides of the fuselage, and positioning holes that fit with the positioning rods are opened on the side wings.

[0008] In the above scheme, a connecting plug is installed on the side wing, and a connecting socket that matches the connecting plug is installed on the fuselage.

[0009] In the above scheme, a propeller connected to the tail thrust motor is installed at the end of the tail fin, a second connector is installed on the tail fin, and a second connector socket matching the second connector is installed at the tail of the fuselage.

[0010] In the above scheme, the top of the vertical rod is provided with a buckle, the bottom of the side wing is provided with a slot that elastically engages with the buckle, the vertical rod is equipped with a connecting plug three, and the side wing is equipped with a connecting socket three that matches the connecting plug three.

[0011] The advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up a fuselage, side wings, tail wing, and quick-locking mechanism, the hook and the hook plate are engaged by rotating the buckle plate upwards, and the buckle plate and the locking plate are then engaged by rotating the buckle plate again. With the resistance of the damping shaft, the fuselage and side wings, as well as the fuselage and tail wing, are locked together. Compared with the prior art, the side wings and tail wing can be quickly disassembled and assembled without tools. This allows for rapid deployment of the drone and makes it more convenient to use. On the other hand, it reduces the space occupied by the drone, making it more portable. In addition, the quick-locking mechanism not only improves the reliability of the connection and thus ensures the stability of the drone's flight, but also facilitates the replacement of damaged structures, which is beneficial for maintenance. By setting up a vertical lift rod, a buckle, a slot, a connector plug, and a connector socket, the vertical lift rod and the side wings can be detachably connected by the cooperation between the buckle and the slot. The connector plug and connector socket provide an electrical connection between the side wings and the vertical lift rod. Compared with the prior art, this makes the structure of the drone more modular and facilitates the replacement of damaged parts. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0016] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle for logistics transportation, including a fuselage 1, side wings 2 and tail 9; Furthermore, the fuselage 1 is equipped with a power module 22, an avionics system 23, a GNSS antenna 20, and an image transmission antenna 21, arranged sequentially. The GNSS antenna 20 is mainly used to receive satellite navigation signals for high-precision positioning. The image transmission antenna 21 focuses on real-time video data transmission, achieving ultra-high-definition image transmission through frequency bands such as 5.8GHz. A gimbal 19, a three-axis gimbal, is located at the bottom of the fuselage 1 for connecting cameras. An airspeed tube is also installed on the fuselage 1. The power module 22 provides stable power to the core modules of the UAV. The avionics system 23 is an integrated system that enables the UAV to perform flight control, navigation, and communication functions; the power module 22 is a core component for its energy supply. In addition, a logistics transport compartment is located at the bottom of the fuselage 1. The fuselage 1 is connected to the side wings 2 and the tail 9 via a quick-locking mechanism 4. The quick-locking mechanism 4 includes a detachably connected locking plate 41 and a locking plate 42. The side wings 2 and the tail 9 are each provided with a locking plate 41, and the fuselage 1 is provided with a locking plate 42 that corresponds to the locking plate 41 one by one. Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, mounting grooves for installing quick-locking mechanism 4 are provided on fuselage 1, side wings 2 and tail wing 9. Locking plate 1 41 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove of side wings 2 and tail wing 9 by fasteners, and locking plate 2 42 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove of side and tail of fuselage 1 by fasteners respectively.

[0017] Furthermore, a buckle plate 43 is connected to the locking plate 41 via a damping pivot, and a hook 44 is connected to the buckle plate 43 via a pivot. A hook plate 45 is fixedly provided on the locking plate 42 to engage with the hook 44. The hook 44 is placed in the groove on the side of the hook plate 45 away from the locking plate 41. The damping force of the damping pivot is used to suppress the rotation of the buckle plate 43, thereby locking the hook 44 and the hook plate 45. Furthermore, positioning rods 7 are fixed on both sides of the fuselage 1, and positioning holes 8 that fit with the positioning rods 7 are opened on the side wing 2. By utilizing the cooperation between the positioning rods 7 and the positioning holes 8, the installation position of the side wing 2 can be quickly positioned. On the other hand, the contact area between the fuselage 1 and the side wing 2 can be increased, thereby increasing the tightness of the connection between the two. like Figure 1 As shown, a vertical rod 14 is provided on the side wing 2; Furthermore, the top of the lifting rod 14 is fixedly provided with a buckle 17, the bottom of the side wing 2 is provided with a slot 18 that elastically engages with the buckle 17, the lifting rod 14 is equipped with a connecting plug 15, and the side wing 2 is equipped with a connecting socket 16 that matches the connecting plug 15. Specifically, by setting up a vertical lift rod 14, a buckle 17, a slot 18, a connecting plug 3 15, and a connecting socket 3 16, the buckle 17 and the slot 18 cooperate to make the vertical lift rod 14 and the side wing 2 detachably connected. Then, with the cooperation of the connecting plug 3 15 and the connecting socket 3 16, the side wing 2 and the vertical lift rod 14 are electrically connected, ensuring the normal operation of the vertical lift rod 14. Compared with the existing technology, this makes the structure of the drone more modular and facilitates the replacement of damaged parts.

[0018] Furthermore, navigation lights 3 are installed at the ends of the wing 2 for illumination; Furthermore, a connector plug 5 is installed on the wing 2, and a connector socket 6 that matches the connector plug 5 is installed on the fuselage 1, so that the navigation light 3 can be powered on and work normally. Furthermore, a propeller 11 connected to the tail thrust motor 10 is installed at the end of the tail fin 9, a second connector 13 is installed on the tail fin 9, and a second connector socket 12 matching the second connector 13 is installed at the tail of the fuselage 1. Specifically, by setting up the fuselage 1, side wings 2, tail 9, and quick-locking mechanism 4, by rotating the buckle plate 43 upwards, the hook 44 is engaged with the hook plate 45. Then, by rotating the buckle plate 43, the buckle plate 43 and the locking plate 41 are engaged. With the resistance of the damping shaft, the fuselage 1 and side wings 2, as well as the fuselage 1 and tail 9, are locked together. Compared with the existing technology, the side wings 2 and tail 9 can be quickly disassembled and assembled without tools. This allows the drone to be deployed quickly and is more convenient to use. On the other hand, it reduces the space occupied by the drone, making it more portable. In addition, the quick-locking mechanism 4 not only improves the reliability of the connection and thus ensures the stability of the drone's flight, but also facilitates the replacement of damaged structures, which is beneficial for maintenance. At the same time, the detachable design of the side wings 2 and tail 9 from the fuselage 1 also provides more options for the side wings 2 and tail 9. In practical applications, different airfoils, sizes, or payload capacities of the side wings 2 and tail 9 can be replaced according to the mission requirements of the drone, greatly improving the flexibility of application.

[0019] Furthermore, the fuselage 1, side wings 2, tail 9, and vertical launch bar 14 are made of integrated aerospace aluminum alloy and aerospace carbon fiber materials, which can cope with harsh operating environments.

[0020] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
