UAV Fuselage Integrating Plates to Reduce Weight
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) face weight issues due to numerous screws securing their housings, making them heavy and affecting flying performance, with inconvenient assembly and maintenance, weak signal shielding, and inefficient module arrangement.
Innovation Solution
A fuselage design with an upper plate, lower plate, connecting plate, and middle spacing plate, integrally formed to reduce weight and improve space utilization, using a mold plate method for manufacturing, and detachable covers for easy component access and reduced interference.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the housing is secured by a large number of screws, then the structural connection between front and rear housing is strong, but the weight of the unmanned aerial vehicle increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the front housing, rear housing, and intermediate housing into a single integrated housing structure. This eliminates the need for multiple screws to connect separate housing parts, thereby reducing weight while maintaining structural strength through the unified design
2Strength
If the housing is secured by a large number of screws, then the structural connection is strong, but the assembly and disassembly process becomes inconvenient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating the front, rear, and intermediate housings into one piece, the patent eliminates multiple connection points requiring screw assembly and disassembly. The integrated design maintains structural integrity while allowing easier access to internal components through a single unified structure
3Volume of stationary object
If modules are arranged inside the housing without proper spacing, then the space utilization is low, but the signal shielding between modules is weak causing interference
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the housing interior into distinct regions using the intermediate housing structure. This segmentation creates natural signal shielding zones between different functional modules while efficiently utilizing the available space through organized compartmentalization
