In addition, the combined type buffering energy-absorbing structure can be reused only by replacing foamed aluminum, and the cost of the energy-absorbing structure can be effectively reduced.
Based on the combined buffering and energy absorbing structure provided by the above embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention further provide an air drop protection device, as shown in fig. 3, which is a schematic structural diagram of the air drop protection device provided by the embodiments of the present invention. The air drop protection device in the embodiment of the invention can comprise: a protective case 1, a target 3, a target locking mechanism, a target placement platform 8, and at least four combined cushioning and energy absorbing structures 2 as in any of the embodiments described above.
The protective case 1 in the embodiment of the invention is used for containing the target object 3, and the protective case 1 has the functions of unfolding and folding, and is used for ensuring the rapid installation of the target object 3 and taking out and using the target object 3 after putting the target object 3 to a destination. In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the target 3 contained in the protection box 1 is exemplified by, but not limited to, an unmanned aerial vehicle, and the embodiment shown in fig. 3 is exemplified by the target locking mechanism including the landing gear locking mechanism 5 and the tail rotation locking mechanism 6.
In the air drop protection device shown in fig. 3, a stable placement platform for the target object 3 is arranged in the protection box 1, the target object 3 is placed on the target object placement platform 8, and the target object 3 is fixed in the protection box 1 through a target object locking mechanism (a landing gear locking mechanism 5 and a tail rotation locking mechanism 6 in fig. 3) so as to prevent the target object 3 from shaking in the transportation and throwing process.
The air drop protection device of the embodiment of the invention takes the combined type buffering energy-absorbing structure 2 as a main energy-absorbing structure, the combined type buffering energy-absorbing structure 2 is uniformly distributed between the bottom surface of the protection box body 1 and the object placing platform 8, the bottom of the combined type buffering energy-absorbing structure is fixedly arranged on the bottom surface of the protection box body 1 through the bottom connecting flange 215, and the top of the combined type buffering energy-absorbing structure is fixedly arranged on the bottom surface of the object placing platform 8 through the top connecting flange 201.
Optionally, the air drop protection device in the embodiment of the present invention may further include:
at least four drogue 4 installed at the top of the protective box 1, and the at least four drogue 4 are installed at four corners of the top of the protective box 1, so as to realize that the protective box 1 is put in to slow down and descend when put in at high speed, and the protective box 1 is enabled to drop down and touch the ground vertically.
In practical application, the number of the drogue 4 is usually not less than four, and more drogue 4 can be installed at four corners of the top of the protection box 1. If the object 3 is transported by a helicopter suspension mode, and put in at a lower height, the drogue 4 may not be installed.
Optionally, the air drop protection device in the embodiment of the present invention may further include:
the controlled air cushion 7 is arranged between the bottom surface of the object placing platform 8 and the top of the combined type buffering and energy absorbing structure 2, and in the structure, the top of the combined type buffering and energy absorbing structure 2 is fixedly arranged on the bottom surface of the controlled air cushion 7 through the top connecting flange 201.
The controlled air cushion 7 in the embodiment of the invention is used for inflating and expanding and lifting the object placing platform 8 through triggering of the air cushion inflation trigger 202.
According to the air drop protection device provided by the embodiment of the invention, when the drop height is too high or the object 3 is too heavy, and the landing speed is too high, the combined type buffering and energy absorbing structure 2 cannot completely buffer and absorb energy, the controlled air cushion 7 can be triggered to be inflated to realize rebuffering, so that the structural safety of the object 3 is further protected. It can be seen that the air drop protection device takes the combined buffering and energy absorbing structure 2 in the embodiment as a main energy absorbing structure, and is assisted by the decelerating effect of the drogue 4 and the buffering effect of the controlled air cushion 7, so that the landing safety of the target object 3 can be ensured to the maximum extent.
In the air drop protection device provided by the embodiment of the invention, the combined type buffering and energy absorbing structure 2 provided by the embodiment is taken as a main buffering and energy absorbing means, and in addition, the decelerating of the drogue 4 and the auxiliary action of the controlled air cushion 7 can be combined, so that the high-efficiency buffering of the impact in the landing process is realized, the landing safety of the heavy object 3 under the condition of relatively large air drop speed is further ensured, and the situations of bouncing, rollover and the like of the object 3 in the landing process can be prevented.

The combined buffering and energy-absorbing structure adopts the design of an energy-absorbing material, oil damping and air compression three-stage buffering and energy-absorbing structure, can efficiently absorb impact kinetic energy, alleviate an impact overload peak value and ensure the structural safety and overload requirements of a target object. The air drop protection device can be reused only by replacing foamed aluminum, and the cost of the whole device can be effectively reduced.
The following describes in detail the implementation manner of the combined buffering and energy-absorbing structure and the air-drop protection device provided by the embodiment of the invention through a specific embodiment.
Examples:
fig. 3 and fig. 4 show an embodiment of an air-drop protection device provided by the embodiment of the invention for an unmanned aerial vehicle air-drop process, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of the air-drop protection device provided by the embodiment of the invention in the air-drop process, and fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of the air-drop protection device provided by the embodiment of the invention in the landing buffer process. The unmanned aerial vehicle is fixed on the target object platform through the locking mechanism, the drogue is installed at four corners of the protection box body, the combined type buffering energy-absorbing structure is installed at the bottom of the protection box body, and the top plate of the combined type buffering energy-absorbing structure and the target object platform are placed with a controlled air cushion in a retracted state in the middle. The combined type buffering and energy-absorbing structure adopts a foam aluminum-oil-air three-stage buffering and energy-absorbing structure, so that the high-efficiency dissipation of landing impact kinetic energy can be realized, and the landing overload is ensured to be within the design permission range; the air drop protection device is designed to take the combined buffering and energy absorbing structure as a main buffering and energy absorbing means, and combines the decelerating (optional) function of the drogue and the auxiliary function of the controlled air cushion, so that the landing safety of heavy objects under the condition of relatively large air drop speed can be ensured, and the situations of bouncing, rollover and the like of the objects in the landing process can be prevented.
After the air drop protection device with the unmanned aerial vehicle is thrown down from the conveyor or the helicopter, the four speed reduction umbrellas at the top are automatically opened under the action of air, so that the speed reduction of the target object and the protection box body is realized. Under the action of gravity and drag of the drogue, the protective device falls vertically.
When the bottom of the air-drop protection device contacts the ground at a certain speed, the combined buffering and energy-absorbing structure starts to work, and high-efficiency buffering and energy-absorbing are realized through a three-level buffering and energy-absorbing mechanism.
According to the design, the foam aluminum is firstly subjected to compression deformation, so that the upward transmission of a large impact load at the moment of grounding is prevented, the uniform upward transmission of the impact load at a lower level is realized, and the overload born by a target object is limited.
The foam aluminum compression process is divided into three stages, namely an elastic stage, a platform stage and a compaction stage, and the buffering and energy absorption is mainly applied to the second stage, namely the platform stage, during preliminary analysis. Compressive load F f Can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0002475606080000091
wherein E is f Modulus of elasticity at elastic stage, A f Is the section area of foamed aluminum, S f For compression stroke, L f To the height of foamed aluminum,σ f,s For plateau stress ε f,s For yield strain, ε f,f Is dense strain.
When the foamed aluminum reaches a compaction state, the oil cylinder and the air cylinder work in a combined way so as to further buffer and absorb energy. The piston of the oil cylinder moves relative to the oil cylinder, so that oil in the oil cylinder is extruded to flow through the oil passing hole, and impact kinetic energy is dissipated through flow damping, so that impact buffering is realized. Because the oil damping can play a better role in buffering and dissipating energy at a lower relative speed, the damping can not play a role in dissipating energy at a higher relative speed. The lower foamed aluminum is needed to buffer, and after the target object and the protective box body are decelerated, the oil cylinder is excited to move relatively, so that buffering and energy consumption are realized. According to Bernoulli equation, the oil damping force F under the condition of low speed (the low speed condition generally refers to the movement speed of the cylinder piston is less than 10 m/s) can be obtained through deduction h Can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0002475606080000092
wherein: ρ h Is oil density; a is that h The effective oil pressing area of the main oil cylinder is; a is that d The effective overflow area of the main oil hole is the effective overflow area of the main oil hole in the forward and backward strokes;
Figure BDA0002475606080000101
the flow coefficients of the main oil hole during the forward and backward strokes are respectively; a is that hL The effective oil pressing area of the oil return cylinder is; />
Figure BDA0002475606080000102
The effective overflow area of the oil return hole during the forward and backward strokes respectively; />
Figure BDA0002475606080000103
The flow coefficients of the oil return holes are respectively the flow coefficients of the oil return holes in the forward and reverse strokes.
And the oil cylinder is connected with the piston of the cylinder under the damping action of the oil liquid, so that the gas in the cylinder is pushed to compress, and the buffer unloading is realized. A constant-pressure exhaust valve is arranged at the position, close to the top, of the cylinder, and the exhaust pressure of the constant-pressure exhaust valve is set to be a set pressure so as to prevent the gas from exceeding a limited transmission load after being compressed.
For the combined buffering and energy absorbing structure, the air spring force F can be obtained according to an ideal gas state equation a The expression is as follows:
Figure BDA0002475606080000104
wherein: v (V) a0 An initial volume for the air cylinder; gamma is the air cylinder compression polytropic index; p (P) a0 For initial air volume of cylinder, P atm At standard atmospheric pressure S a For cylinder travel, P s The exhaust pressure of the constant-pressure exhaust valve is obtained.
The oil damping in the oil cylinder and the gas buffering in the air cylinder act together to further dissipate landing impact kinetic energy and slow down the transfer of landing impact load to a target object.
If the drop height is too high or the weight of the target object is too large, the combined type buffering and energy-absorbing structure cannot fully absorb landing kinetic energy. The cylinder piston can compress to the top to touch the air cushion and aerify the trigger, trigger air cushion inflation and expand, realize the buffering again of target object, further protect target object safety.
