Detailed Description
The structure of the locking mechanism and the folding airfoil for carrying out the invention is described schematically below together with the accompanying drawings. The following illustrative embodiments are to make it easier for those skilled in the art to understand the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention. The present invention may be subject to alterations and/or modifications to the following embodiments without departing from the general concept thereof.
Fig. 1 shows a structural schematic diagram of the first component 3 and the second component 1 which are locked in the unfolded state by the locking device. According to an embodiment of the invention, the first part 3 is pivotally connected to the second part 1 such that the second part 1 can be pivoted, thereby enabling the second part 1 to be in different positions relative to the first part 3.
The "axial direction" in the following description of the present invention refers to a direction coinciding with the direction of the pivot axis.
For example, the first part 3 may be configured as an inner wing 3 of a folded airfoil, the second part 1 correspondingly being configured as an outer wing 1 of the folded airfoil. The folding airfoil can be used for aircrafts with the folding airfoil, such as carrier-based aircrafts, unmanned planes, missiles, rockets and the like. Furthermore, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the first and second parts may be connected by a rotating shaft, so that any means, especially plates, for folding and unfolding may be implemented.
For convenience, the locking mechanism will be described in detail by taking the first member 3 as the inner wing 3 of the folding wing and the second member 1 as the outer wing 1 of the folding wing. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that although the following is expressed in terms of "inner wing" and "outer wing", the meaning is not limited to inner and outer wings of a folded airfoil surface, but it should be understood as the aforementioned first part, second part, i.e. any device, in particular a plate, connected by a rotation axis, enabling folding and unfolding.
The outer wing 1 is able to pivot with respect to the inner wing 3 to form an unfolded state (as shown in fig. 1) and a folded state (as shown in fig. 3) of the folded airfoil. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the folded condition shown in FIG. 3 may be the final folded condition of the folded airfoil, or may be an intermediate condition during movement toward the final folded condition.
The locking means are at least used to lock the outer wing 1 in the unfolded state shown in fig. 1, in which the rotation of the outer wing 1 about the pivot axis relative to the inner wing 3 is locked by the locking means, and the outer wing 1 is connected to the inner wing 3 as one integral wing.
It will be appreciated that the inner wing 3 and the outer wing 1 may be locked in the unfolded state of the outer wing 1 by one or more of the above-described locking means, depending on the specific structure, size, etc. of the folded airfoil.
Fig. 3 shows a partially cut-away structural view of the folded airfoil, which is partially used to schematically show the structure of the locking device. As shown in fig. 3, the locking device comprises a retractable locking pin 6, the locking pin 6 being provided in the inner wing 3; a locking hole 21 provided in the outer wing 1. The above-mentioned "retractable" means that the locking pin linearly advances and retreats in a certain predetermined direction.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the outer wing 1 is fixedly connected with a connecting member 2, the connecting member 2 is pivotally connected with the inner wing 3, for example, the connecting member 2 and the inner wing 3 are respectively provided with a shaft hole, and a rotating shaft penetrates through the shaft holes to realize the pivotal connection between the connecting member 2 and the inner wing 3. In this embodiment, the locking hole 21 is provided on the connecting member 2.
Referring to fig. 7, an example of the connector 2 is illustrated. As shown in the figure, in this example, one end of the connecting member 2 is provided with a pair of parallel connecting plates 23 for clamping the plate surface of the outer wing 1, and the connecting plates 23 are provided with mounting holes 24 for fixedly connecting with the outer wing 1 through bolts and the like. The other end 20 of the connecting piece 2 is provided with an axial hole 22 extending axially. The other end is provided with the lock hole 21, and the axial direction of the lock hole 21 is substantially parallel to the axial direction of the shaft hole 22.
Therefore, the locking device is formed by the connecting piece 2 fixedly connected with the outer wing 1 and the locking pin, so that the direct abrasion of the outer wing 1 caused by frequent folding and unfolding operations is reduced, and the connecting piece 2 is only required to be replaced or maintained instead of the outer wing 1 is integrally replaced during later maintenance and outer wing maintenance, so that the use and maintenance cost of the product is reduced.
Further, in this embodiment, one or both of the axial direction of the locking pin 6 and the axial direction of the locking hole 21 are disposed substantially parallel to the axial direction of the pivot between the link 2 and the inner wing 3, for example, the axial direction of the shaft hole or the axis of the rotation shaft, that is, the extending and contracting direction of the locking pin 6 is disposed substantially parallel to the axial direction of the pivot between the link 2 and the inner wing 3.
Therefore, the central axes of the locking pin and the locking hole are parallel to the central axis of the folding pivot, so that the locking stroke of the locking pin does not occupy the layout space in the unfolding direction, the freedom degree of the setting of the locking pin stroke is higher, compared with the prior art, the locking device occupies flexible space design, and can meet the requirement of arranging the locking device in a small unfolding space.
Preferably, the central axes of the locking pin and the locking hole are collinear, and the central axes of the locking pin and the locking hole are arranged in parallel with the central axis of the pivot.
The locking device further comprises a release mechanism which can be triggered by other means and which, when triggered, is adapted to drive the locking pin out to enter at least partially the locking hole 21 to lock the outer wing 1 in the pivoting direction relative to the inner wing 3.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the release mechanism is provided in the inner wing 3, which is triggered when the outer wing 1 is deployed in place, i.e. in the fully deployed position. To this end, the locking device according to the invention further comprises a triggering mechanism provided on the outer wing 1 for triggering the release mechanism when the outer wing 1 is in the deployed position.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 3, 4(a), (b), the release mechanism comprises:
a first elastic member 8 for applying an elastic force to the locking pin 6, which drives the locking pin at least partially into the locking hole 21 when the locking pin 6 is in a free state. The free state here means that the locking pin is only subjected to the elastic force of the elastic member 8 in addition to the frictional force that is necessarily present between the locking pin and the surrounding contact members, or although the locking pin 6 is subjected to the restraining force of other members, the restraining force is insufficient to prevent the locking pin 6 from performing the extending action by the elastic force of the elastic member 8.
A safety pin 10 which is detachably coupled with the locking pin 6, and when it is coupled with the locking pin 6, the locking pin is in a restrained state. The restrained state means that the locking pin 6 is still in a stationary state even if the elastic member 8 exerts an elastic force on the locking pin. When the safety pin 10 is decoupled from the locking pin 6, the locking pin 6 is in a free state, i.e. the locking pin 6 at least partially enters the locking hole 21 under the driving of the elastic force of the elastic element 8, and the connecting element 2 (the outer wing 1) is locked with the inner wing 3. When the release mechanism is triggered by the trigger mechanism, the safety pin 10 is decoupled from the locking pin 6.
As shown in the drawings, the first elastic member 8 is coaxially disposed at a rear end of the locking pin 6, where the rear end is an end of the locking pin 6 that extends in an opposite direction. When the safety pin 10 and the locking pin 6 are in a coupled state, the first elastic member 8 presses against the rear end of the locking pin 6 and is compressed to store a predetermined amount of elastic potential energy. This elastic potential energy is released when the safety pin 10 is decoupled from the locking pin 6 to drive the locking pin 6 into an extending action.
According to a further embodiment of the invention, the release mechanism further comprises: a lever 12, the middle of the lever 12 is installed in the inner wing 3 through a rotation shaft 14. A first end of the lever 12 is connected to the safety pin 10 for moving the safety pin 10 to and fro to couple or decouple the safety pin 10 to the locking pin 6. The second end of the lever 12 is the trigger end, and when the outer wing 1 is in the extended position, the trigger mechanism thereon applies an acting force to the trigger end, and the first end of the lever 12 moves in the direction opposite to the acting force, thereby driving the safety pin 10 to be decoupled from the locking pin 6.
According to a further embodiment of the invention, the release mechanism further comprises: a second elastic member 13 for applying a force to the lever 12 to generate a torque in the lever 12 in a direction corresponding to a moving direction of the safety pin 10 when the safety pin 6 is coupled. The invention can keep the safety pin 10 and the locking pin 6 coupled when the release mechanism is not triggered through the second elastic piece 13. At the same time, the safety pin 10 is decoupled from the locking pin 6 when the release mechanism is triggered, since the lever torque generated by the elastic element 13 is smaller than the lever torque generated by the trigger mechanism acting on the trigger end of the lever.
Alternatively, the second elastic member 13 is a torsion spring, as shown in fig. 6, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft 14, and a first arm of the torsion spring is connected to the lever 12, and a second arm of the torsion spring is fixed by a corresponding portion of the inner wing 3.
Therefore, the invention adopts the lever principle, utilizes the elastic force, such as the elastic force provided by a torsion spring, as the continuous restraining force, and realizes the restraint that the locking pin does not protrude out of the interface of the two parts by the way that the safety pin extends into the groove or the hole of the locking pin. When the lever is pushed by the trigger mechanism driven by the unfolding force, the constraint force provided by the elastic piece is overcome, so that the lever rotates around the lever rotating shaft, the constraint of the safety pin on the locking pin is relieved, the locking pin extends out to enter the interface of the two components and further enters the locking hole, and the components are unfolded and locked in place.
According to a further embodiment of the invention, the first end of the lever 12 is provided with a transverse strip-shaped hole, and the connecting end of the safety pin 10 is provided with a transversely extending swivel axis 11, which swivel axis 11 is movably fitted in said strip-shaped hole.
Therefore, the invention prevents the mechanism from being locked by adopting the strip-shaped hole with the movement allowance to be matched with the pin rotating shaft. Meanwhile, the matching mode reduces the requirements on the machining and matching precision of the lever, the safety pin and the locking pin.
Referring to fig. 5 in conjunction with fig. 4, the inner wing 3 has a concave structure as a whole, and includes a first block 31, a second block 32, and a connecting portion 33 for connecting lower portions of the two blocks, and a receiving space is formed above the connecting portion 33 between the two blocks.
The first block 31 and the second block 32 are respectively provided with a shaft hole 34 extending along the axial direction on the same side. The rotating shaft 17 is arranged in the shaft hole 22 of the connecting piece 2 and the shaft holes 34 of the first block 31 and the second block 32 in a penetrating way, so that the connecting piece 2 (the outer wing 1) and the inner wing 3 can be rotatably connected. Alternatively, the end of the rotating shaft 17 is provided with a stopper, such as a nut or a catch pin, for preventing the rotating shaft from being disengaged from the shaft hole.
The first block 31 is provided with a mounting slot 35 for mounting the release mechanism. Specifically, the surface of the inner wing 3 remote from the connection 33 forms an interface with the outer wing 1, and when the folded wing surface is unfolded into position, the interface of the inner wing 3 is in close connection with the corresponding interface of the outer wing 1. The material of the interface of the inner wing 3 is removed to form a first mounting groove 351 extending along the axial direction, and the mounting groove 351 is used for accommodating the lever 12 and the second elastic piece 13. The first mounting groove 351 is provided at a side wall thereof with a positioning hole for mounting the rotary shaft 14.
The first mounting groove 351 is covered by a cover plate 15, and a through hole for the trigger mechanism to pass through is formed in the cover plate 15. Further, the inner surface of the cover plate is partially removed, so that the first end of the lever and the abdicating space of the safety pin are formed, and the outer surface of the cover plate is basically flush with the outer surface of the inner wing.
Optionally, the second arm of the torsion spring is pressed against the inner surface of the cover plate 15.
Therefore, compared with most locking mechanisms exposed outside the aircraft in a folded state, the release mechanism occupying most of the volume of the locking device is sealed in the component body, so that the influence on the overall aerodynamic performance of the aircraft is reduced, and the flight stability of the aircraft is prevented from being influenced.
Meanwhile, the release mechanism is sealed in the component body, so that the influence on the external shape of the aircraft is avoided, the structural design difficulty of the aircraft storage or launching device is reduced, and the space occupation of the aircraft in the storage or transportation process is reduced.
An axially extending mounting hole for accommodating the locking pin 6 and the first elastic member 8 is formed below the first mounting groove 351, both ends of the mounting hole axially penetrate through the first block 31, and an outer port thereof is blocked by a plug 9. The plug 9 can be, for example, a screw. The inner end opening of the mounting hole is used for the locking pin 6 to extend out to enter the accommodating space between the two blocks.
A partition is formed between the first installation groove 351 and the installation hole, and the partition is provided with a through hole corresponding to the position of the safety pin 10, at least one part of the safety pin is always arranged in the through hole, and the through hole is used for guiding and positioning the safety pin 10 during the coupling and decoupling movement of the safety pin 10 and the locking pin 6, so that the moving path is accurate and faultless.
According to a further embodiment of the present invention, a stepped portion is formed at the rear end of the locking pin 6, and the outer port of the mounting hole is a stepped hole for stopping the locking pin from being separated from the mounting hole.
According to a further embodiment of the present invention, the locking pin 6 forms a coupling portion at a rear end thereof to be coupled with an end of the safety pin 10. The coupling may be a groove or a hole, for example. Preferably, the coupling portion is an annular groove formed on the stepped portion.
According to a further embodiment of the present invention, the locking hole is a tapered hole, and correspondingly, the front end of the locking pin is a flat cone structure matched with the tapered hole. The locking pin and the locking hole are in conical fit, so that the fit of the locking pin and the locking hole can be improved, and the requirements on the machining precision of the locking pin and the locking hole are reduced.
According to a further embodiment of the invention, the triggering mechanism comprises a stud formed on the outer wing 1 or a pin or screw removably attached to the outer wing 1.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, there is further provided an unlocking means which is operated to drive the locking pin 6 to be retracted and to exit the locking hole 21 in a state where the outer wing 1 is locked at the unfolded position. With reference to fig. 2, 4 and 5, a strip-shaped hole 36 is formed through the sidewall of the mounting hole, one end of the unlocking device is fixedly connected with the locking pin, and the other end of the unlocking device extends out of the strip-shaped hole 36, in the locking state of the unfolding position shown in fig. 4(b), because the safety pin 10 is decoupled from the locking pin 6, the unlocking device is operated along the retracting direction of the locking pin 6, the elastic force of the elastic member 8 is overcome, the locking pin exits from the locking hole 21, and contacts the locking state of the inner wing 3 and the outer wing 1, and at this time, the outer wing 1 can rotate relative to the inner wing 3 to realize the folding operation.
