[0022] The following embodiments further illustrate the technical solutions of the present application. It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for the purpose of explaining the present application. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the present application are shown in the accompanying drawings, not all of them.
[0023] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed or detachable connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application in specific contexts.
[0024] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features being in contact not directly but through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature may include the first feature being directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may include the first feature being directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.
[0025] The following describes the first embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the canard and arm connection structure of the embodiment of the present application is used to couple the canard 1 and the arm 2, wherein the canard 1 includes a coupling plug-in portion 10, and the coupling plug-in portion 10 includes a plurality of fixing portions 11; the arm 2 includes an arm plug-in cavity 20, and an insertion port 21 is provided at one end of the arm plug-in cavity 20. The coupling plug-in portion 10 is configured to be inserted into the arm plug-in cavity 20 through the plug-in port 21 and fixed to the arm 2 through the fixing portion 11.
[0026] Specifically, the canard 1 includes a canard body 15 and a pair of coupling plug-in parts 10, and the pair of coupling plug-in parts 10 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the canard body 15. As shown in Figure 3, the coupling plug-in part 10 includes a pair of supporting beams 12 and fixing holes 13 that are connected to each other. The fixing holes 13 are bolted to the side walls of the supporting beams 12. Each fixing hole 13 is provided with a plurality of fixing parts (11), and each fixing part (11) is provided with a canard fixing hole 14 opened vertically. The fixing hole 13 is installed on the side wall of the support beam 12 and is only subjected to shear force in the vertical direction, so it is not easy to loosen. In this embodiment, there are 3 canard fixing holes, of course, it can also be other numbers. The bottom of the arm plug-in cavity 20 is provided with an arm fixing plate 22, which itself is fixed to the arm. The arm fixing plate 22 is provided with a plurality of arm fixing holes 23, the number of which is the same as the canard fixing holes 14. After the coupling plug-in part 10 is inserted into the arm plug-in cavity 20, the canard fixing holes 14 can be aligned with the arm fixing holes 23 one by one and connected by bolts. Specifically, an upper box part 24 is provided on the upper part of the arm plug-in cavity 20. After the coupling plug-in part 10 is inserted into the arm plug-in cavity 20, the upper box part 24 and the arm fixing plate 22 form an upper and lower clamping for the coupling plug-in part 10 to absorb the vibration of the coupling plug-in part 10 in the arm plug-in cavity 20, thereby forming a stable support. Through holes corresponding to the canard fixing holes 14 can be provided inside the upper box part 24. Bolts can be inserted through the through holes of the upper box part 24 to connect the canard fixing holes 14 and the arm fixing holes 23 in series, thereby fixing the coupling plug-in part 10 in the arm plug-in cavity 20. A structural member 25 is also provided on the upper part of the upper box part 24. The structural member 25 is used to connect the upper and lower skins of the arm to enhance the rigidity of the arm. The structural member 25 does not interfere with the plug-in direction of the bolt. Preferably, after the coupling plug-in part 10 is inserted into the arm plug-in cavity 20, the inner wall of the arm plug-in cavity 20 can be fitted with the outer wall of the coupling plug-in part 10, thereby forming a stable support. The canard body 15 also includes a pair of canard beams 16. The pair of canard beams 16 are coupled one-to-one with the pair of support beams 12 of the coupling plug-in part 10, making it less likely to break under stress, thereby ensuring the firmness of the coupling plug-in part 10. The canard of the present application forms a detachable structure with the arm, which is convenient for transportation and reduces transportation costs.
[0027] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, a canard cover 4 is provided on the side of the coupling plug-in part 10 close to the canard 1. After the coupling plug-in part 10 is inserted into the arm plug-in cavity 20, the canard cover 4 can be close to the side wall of the arm 2, which can effectively prevent rainwater and the like from entering the interior of the arm 2 through the plug-in interface 21.
[0028] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the canard 1 also includes an aileron 3. The aileron 3 includes a first end surface 30, on which a positioning pin 31 and two fixing pins 32 are provided. The arm 2 includes a second end surface 26, on which three pin holes 17 are provided. One positioning pin 31 and two fixing pins 32 can be inserted into the three pin holes 17 in a one-to-one correspondence, so that the first end surface 30 and the second end surface 26 are aligned with each other. The positioning pin 31 can locate the installation position of the aileron 3. The two fixing pins 32 include a first fixing pin 321 and a second fixing pin 322. The first fixing pin 321 includes a first fixing pin hole a and is bolted to the arm 2. The second fixing pin 322 includes a second fixing pin hole b and is bolted to the arm 2. The first fixing pin hole a and the second fixing pin hole b extend perpendicularly to each other. For example, the first fixing pin hole a within the first fixing pin 321 can extend in the direction of the fixing pin insertion. A bolt can pass through the fixing plate on the arm and then enter the first fixing pin hole a, thereby bolting the first fixing pin 321 to the arm 2. The second fixing pin hole b within the second fixing pin 322 can extend perpendicular to the insertion direction. A bolt can be inserted downward from the upper portion of the arm, pass through the fixing plate on the arm, and enter the second fixing pin hole b, thereby bolting the second fixing pin 322 to the arm 2. This two bolted connections in mutually perpendicular directions can better secure the connection between the aileron 3 and the arm 2. It should be noted that the number of positioning pins 31 can be one or more, and the number of fixing pins 32 can be two or more. It should be noted that the positioning pins 31 and fixing pins 32 have different lengths. In this embodiment, the length of the positioning pin 31 is greater than that of the fixing pin 32. The length of the second fixing pin 322 is greater than that of the first fixing pin 321. Thus, the positioning pin 31, the second fixing pin 322, and the first fixing pin 321 are sequentially inserted into the corresponding pin holes 17.
[0029] A second embodiment of the present application further provides an aircraft, as shown in FIG6 , comprising a canard 1 and a pair of arms 2, the canard 1 and the pair of arms 2 being coupled to each other via the aforementioned canard-to-arm connection structure. The canard and arms of the aircraft of the second embodiment of the present application form a detachable structure, facilitating transportation and reducing transportation costs.
[0030] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this application. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the objectives of this application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by persons skilled in the art without departing from the objectives disclosed herein are intended to be covered by the claims of this application.
