Abstract
Description
Technical area
[0001] The present utility model relates to the field of drone technology, in particular to a large fixed-wing drone. State of the art
[0002] Drones can be divided into large drones and small drones based on their takeoff weight. The landing gears of small drones typically use truss structures or elastic devices composed of metal tubes or spring elements. When landing, the landing force is absorbed by the elastoplastic deformation of the structure. The cushioning efficiency is low, and the aircraft is prone to bouncing. Furthermore, the component must be replaced when the plastic deformation of the structure reaches a certain level.
[0003] Large drones have a greater takeoff weight. To avoid the landing disadvantages of small drones, oil-gas buffers are typically used. Oil-gas buffers can be divided into fixed-bore and variable-bore buffers. During the compression process of fixed-bore buffers, the load is uneven, fluctuating up and down, and the damping-buffering process is unstable, which greatly reduces damping efficiency. Although variable-bore buffers make the damping-buffering process more stable and efficient, they are structurally complex and expensive. Content of the utility model

The push rod 12 is movably connected to the sleeve 10 and is vertically attached to the lower surface of the upper plate 3.
[0018] On the side surface of the oil box 4, an externally threaded pipe 25 is connected horizontally, an internally threaded pipe I 15 is connected with a thread on the outside of the externally threaded pipe 25, a rubber pipe 27 is movably inserted into the internally threaded pipe I 15, the two ends of the rubber pipe 27 are each fixedly connected to a plug II 20, one of the plugs II 20 is connected to the externally threaded pipe 25, and the other plug II 20 is connected to a plug I 19, the plug I 19 is horizontally connected to the sleeve 10 and is fixedly attached to the outside of the sleeve 10, the side of the internally threaded pipe I 15 near the plug I 19 has an annular groove 16 concentrically, an internally threaded pipe II 18 is movably connected in the annular groove 16, and the internally threaded pipe II 18 is connected to the plug I 19 with a thread, the inside of the External threaded pipe 25 has an internal thread II 26,the plug II 20 is connected via the internal thread II 26 in the external threaded pipe 25, an internal thread I 21 is provided in the plug I 19, and the plug II 20 is connected via the internal thread I 21 in the plug I 19.
[0019] A support ring 17 is axially slidably connected in the annular groove 16, two mirror-inverted symmetrical slots are axially arranged on the inner wall of the annular groove 16, a sliding piece is slidably connected in each slot, the sliding piece is firmly connected to the support ring 17, the outer side of the support ring 17 is rotatably connected to the internally threaded tube II 18, a ring dovetail groove is concentrically arranged on the outer side of the support ring 17, a dovetail ring is rotatably connected in the ring dovetail groove, and the dovetail ring is firmly connected to the end of the internally threaded tube II 18.
[0020] In order to fulfill the function of supporting the rubber tube 27, three pairs of telescopic rods 24, which are distributed at equal intervals and in a ring shape, are radially fixed to the inner wall of the internally threaded tube I 15, an arc plate 23 is fixedly attached to the ends of each telescopic rod 24, a spring II 22 is attached to each outer circumference of the telescopic rod 24, and each arc plate 23 rests against the outside of the rubber tube 27.
[0021] In order to facilitate the replacement and filling of the oil in the oil box 4, the upper surface of the oil box 4 is penetrated by an oil supply hole, a first plug with thread is connected to the inner wall of the oil supply hole, an oil discharge hole runs horizontally on the lower outer side of the oil box 4, a second plug with thread is connected to the inner wall of the oil discharge hole, and a hexagonal groove is provided on the outside of each of the first plug and the second plug.
[0022] The present utility model has a simple structure, low manufacturing costs, and allows for easy disassembly of the entire device. A piston 11 and a sleeve 10 are connected to each side of the oil box 4. Furthermore, the upper plate 3 and the lower plate 2 are connected to the top and bottom of the piston 11 and the sleeve 10, which contributes to dampening and absorbing vibrations during landing of the large drone.
[0023] The working process is as follows. When the drone is about to land, the impact force exerts a downward thrust on the upper plate 3, which also exerts a downward thrust on the push rod 12. The movement of the push rod 12 causes the piston 11 to slide downward. The piston 11 then slides downward, forcing the hydraulic oil in the sleeve 10 into the oil box 4 via the rubber pipe 27. Since the pressure on the piston 11 is different when the drone first lands and when the drone takes off, the pressure on the rubber pipe 27 by the hydraulic oil also varies, and the amount of hydraulic oil flowing from the sleeve 10 into the oil box 4 also varies. The inner diameter of the rubber pipe 27 changes accordingly to adapt to the flow rate under different pressures.This not only fulfills an adaptation function, but also avoids the problem that, when using pipes with a fixed inner diameter in the existing technology, the pipe suddenly expands and bursts when hydraulic oil flows under high pressure.
[0024] Additionally, the external surface of the rubber tube 27 includes the internal threaded tube I15, the arcuate plates 23, the spring II22, and the telescopic rods 24. As the flow and pressure in the rubber tube 27 increase and the rubber tube expands and thickens, the rubber tube provides support and dampens the expansion of the rubber tube to prevent the rubber tube from expanding too quickly and becoming damaged. When the rubber tube 27 needs to be removed, first rotate the internal threaded tube II18 so that the internal threaded tube II18 separates from the plug I19. Then, the internal threaded tube II18 is pushed into the annular groove 16. After that, the internal threaded tube I15 is rotated so that the internal threaded tube I15 separates from the external threaded tube 25. Then the plugs II 20 at both ends of the rubber tube 27 are separated from the plug I 19 and the external thread tube 25 by turning.The rubber tube 27 is then removed together with the internally threaded tube I 15, and the rubber tube 27 is pulled directly out of the internally threaded tube I 15. The new rubber tube 27 is then inserted between the three curved plates 23 in the internally threaded tube I 15. The plugs II 20 at both ends of the rubber tube 27 are then first connected to the plug I 19 and the externally threaded tube 25. The internally threaded tube I 15 is then connected to the outside of the externally threaded tube 25. After that, the internally threaded tube II 18 is pulled out of the annular groove 16, and the internally threaded tube II 18 is connected to the outside of the plug I 19, completing the replacement of the rubber tube 27.
