Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of aircrafts, and particularly relates to a flapping-wing aircraft with two degrees of freedom.
Background
The micro aircraft has three different flight modes: fixed wing, rotor and flapping wing. Compared with the conventional aircraft, the Reynolds number of the micro aircraft is very low and is about 101～105In the meantime. In the Reynolds number range, natural flyers such as insects and birds do not fly in a fixed wing or rotor wing driving mode similar to mechanical flight, but the natural flyers fly autonomously by means of flapping wings, have extremely high maneuvering flexibility and consume little energy.
The micro flapping wing air vehicle, also known as a micro flapping wing machine, a micro flapping wing air vehicle, an insect-imitating flying robot and the like is designed by imitating the movement mechanism of natural insects, and is one of the focuses of the current research. The miniature flapping wing aircraft can integrate the lifting, hovering and propelling functions into a flapping wing system, can fly for a long distance by using very small energy, has stronger maneuverability, and can take off in situ or in a small field and hover in the air, thereby being more suitable for executing tasks under the long-time non-energy supplement and long-distance conditions, and further having wide application prospect in the military and civil fields.
Through the search and discovery of the prior art, two papers relate to the research of a two-degree-of-freedom flapping wing mechanism. Jamin et al, proceedings of university of aerospace, beijing, 2006 (09): 1087 and 1090, in the paper "design and kinematic analysis of bionic flapping wing mechanism", a two-degree-of-freedom flapping wing mechanism is designed. The flapping and rotating motion is realized by adopting two groups of crank rocker mechanisms and differential gears which are connected in parallel. Raynaud et al, in mechanical design and manufacture, 2017 (06): 241-244, in the article "design and motion analysis of two-degree-of-freedom bionic flapping-wing flying robot", a two-degree-of-freedom flapping-wing mechanism is designed. The spatial RSSR mechanism and the crank-rocker mechanism are coupled to realize flapping and rotation, wherein the spatial RSSR mechanism realizes flapping motion, and the crank-rocker mechanism realizes torsion motion. The two designs are both complex and have small flapping wing motion amplitude, the existing flapping wing mechanism with one degree of freedom is too simple, and the flapping wing mechanisms with three degrees of freedom are too complex and heavy.

As shown in fig. 4, one end of each of two links 401 of the flapping mechanism 4 is hinged to a rocker 402, and the other end is hinged to a fifth gear 304 or a sixth gear 305, respectively. The rocker 402 is rotatably connected with the guide rod 502 through the first projection 4021 and the second projection 4022, the spring 503 is arranged on the guide rod 502 between the first projection 4021 and the second projection 4022, the guide rod 502 between the second projections 4022 is provided with a limiting block, one end of the spring 503 is fixedly connected with the second projection 4022, and the other end of the spring 503 is limited by the limiting block to limit the maximum movement distance.
Referring to fig. 5-7, one end of a guide rod 502 of the rotating mechanism 5 is fixedly connected with a drop-shaped guide block 502, and the other end is connected with the bionic fin 6. The bionic wing 6 is designed in a simulation mode on the basis of the wing shape of a natural insect cicada, the wing shape of the cicada is subjected to parametric design by adopting MATLAB, namely a sample strip difference value method is used, the wing shape of the cicada is fitted into two functions, one part of images of the two functions is the wing shape of the insect, the bionic wing is subjected to mode and deformation analysis by adopting ANSYS, the theoretical flapping frequency of the wing is obtained, and the theoretical flapping frequency of the wing obtains the optimal effect in the second-order mode.

When the bionic fin 6 beats down, the guide block 501 ascends.
