Description

Bionic flapping wing micro aircraft with adjustable flapping angle average position and flight control method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of micro aircrafts, in particular to a bionic flapping wing micro aircraft with an adjustable flapping angle average position and a flight control method thereof.
Background
The rapid development of the micro-electromechanical technology makes the microminiaturization of the traditional aircraft possible. In this context, in the nineties of the last century, the concept of micro-aircraft was proposed, which have a wide range of military and civil uses and which have now become the focus of research in this field.
The micro-aircraft can be roughly divided into a fixed wing micro-aircraft, a rotor wing micro-aircraft and a bionic flapping wing micro-aircraft according to the lift force generation principle. Compared with the traditional aircraft, the miniature aircraft has small size and low flying speed, so the flying Reynolds number of the miniature aircraft during working is also small, the aircraft faces stronger viscous action in the flying process, and under the condition, the pneumatic efficiency of the fixed-wing miniature aircraft and the rotor wing miniature aircraft is generally lower. Insects and hummingbirds are natural 'micro aircraft' in nature, the flight of the insects and hummingbirds has extremely high aerodynamic efficiency and unrivaled maneuvering capability, and scientists provide the bionic flapping wing micro aircraft based on the insect flight principle. The bionic flapping wing micro air vehicle has great advantages in the aspects of miniaturization and bionics, but has great difficulty in the aspects of lift generation and flight control design, and becomes one of the main difficulties in the development of the existing bionic flapping wing micro air vehicle.
The bionic flapping wing micro aircraft has no tail wing, the lift force generation and the flight control are realized by a pair of flapping wings, and how to realize the high lift force and the high aerodynamic moment generation simultaneously is a great problem. The existing flight strategy of the bionic flapping wing micro air vehicle mainly changes the attack angle of the flapping wings for flapping up and down to change the aerodynamic force, so that the attitude of the air vehicle is changed; by adjusting the average position of the beat motion angle, the change of the aerodynamic force and the distance between the action point and the gravity center of the aerodynamic force is realized, the control moment is generated, and the angular posture control is realized. In the past, there was a patent attempting to solve this problem, such as "a position control mechanism imitating flapping of insect wings" (publication number: CN106828922A) which discloses a bionic flapping wing micro-aircraft. The flapping driving mechanism is composed of five connecting rods, and the functions of a crank sliding block mechanism, a sliding rod rocker mechanism and a four-connecting-rod mechanism are realized respectively. The mechanism has multiple components, and a single component bears multiple functions, so that the output flapping motion is easily and obviously influenced by the rod piece change. In addition, the control mechanism changes the average position of the flapping angle of the flapping wings through the synchronous or differential deflection of the left and right rotating rudders, and realizes the three-axis attitude control of the aircraft. However, the motion track of the rotary steering engine is circular arc, so the position change of the root part of the tail end rocker arm is also circular arc. According to the four-bar transmission principle, when the average position of the flapping angle of the flapping wings is changed, the flapping amplitude of the flapping wings is changed, and the generation of high lift of the aircraft is influenced.
Currently, the existing flapping-wing control scheme of the bionic flapping-wing micro air vehicle mostly adopts a mode of adjusting the tightness of a wing membrane to control the angle of attack. The scheme can only roughly realize the increase or decrease of the attack angle, is difficult to realize the change of the attack angle in real time accurately, and is not beneficial to the control of the estimation of the rudder effect and the accurate control design. In addition, the scheme for changing the average flapping angle position needs to adjust and control the flapping mechanism, on one hand, the scheme is more difficult to implement under the miniaturization and integration design requirements, and on the other hand, because the lift force generation is extremely sensitive to the change of the flapping motion, the adjustment of the flapping mechanism can also cause the aerodynamic force change at the same time, and the scheme is difficult to ensure the generation of high lift force while adjusting the average flapping angle position. Therefore, there is a need to invent a bionic flapping wing micro aircraft capable of maintaining high lift generation and adjustable average flapping angle position, and further develop a flight control method thereof.
Disclosure of Invention
The existing bionic flapping wing micro aircraft has a complex flapping motion mechanism for controlling lift force generation, and on the basis, the mechanism is improved to realize the change of the average position of a flapping angle for controlling torque generation and the difficulty of mechanism integration is high, and the lift force loss is easily caused by torque generation control.

A bionic flapping wing micro air vehicle with adjustable flapping angle average position according to claim 1, wherein the gear reduction group comprises a main shaft gear, a single-layer gear and a double-layer gear; the main shaft gear is arranged on the power device output shaft, the single-layer gear and the double-layer gear are respectively arranged in the single-layer gear mounting hole and the double-layer gear mounting hole of the base, a large-tooth-number gear in the double-layer gear is meshed with the main shaft gear, and a small-tooth-number gear is meshed with the single-layer gear.
6. A bionic flapping wing micro air vehicle with adjustable flapping angle average position according to claim 1, wherein the main beams, the auxiliary beams and the tensioning beams are made of carbon fiber rods, and the wing membranes are made of polyimide film materials.
7. The pitch control method of the bionic flapping wing micro air vehicle with the adjustable flapping angle average position, according to any one of claims 1 to 6, comprises the following steps:
(1) when the aircraft needs to generate a head-up pitching moment, the output ends of the left and right linear stepping steering engines drive the rotation points of the left and right rocker arm sliding chutes to synchronously move forwards along the left and right sliding chutes of the base, so that the average positions of the flapping angles output by the left and right rocker arms can simultaneously move forwards; because the flapping amplitude is approximately unchanged after the average position of the flapping angle moves forwards, the size of aerodynamic force generated by flapping motion is approximately unchanged, but the action point of the aerodynamic force moves forwards, the distance between the action point of the aerodynamic force and the gravity center is increased, and the head-up moment is generated before the average position of the flapping angle is changed;
(2) when the aircraft needs to generate a low head pitching moment, the output ends of the left and right linear stepping steering engines drive the rotation points of the left and right rocker arm sliding chutes to synchronously move backwards along the left and right sliding chutes of the base, so that the average position of the flapping angles output by the left and right rocker arms can simultaneously move backwards; because the average position of the flapping angle moves backwards, the flapping amplitude is approximately unchanged, so the magnitude of the aerodynamic force generated by the flapping motion is approximately unchanged, but the action point of the aerodynamic force moves backwards, the distance between the action point of the aerodynamic force and the gravity center is reduced, and the head-lowering moment is generated before the average position of the flapping angle is changed.
8. The method for controlling the hovering flight of the bionic flapping wing micro air vehicle with the adjustable flapping angle average position according to any one of claims 1 to 6 comprises the following steps:
(1) when the aircraft needs to perform left circling, the output end of the left linear stepping steering engine drives the rotating point of the left rocker arm sliding groove to move forwards along the left sliding groove of the base, the output end of the right linear stepping steering engine keeps still, so that the average position of the flapping angles output by the left rocker arm moves forwards, and the average position of the flapping angles output by the right rocker arm keeps unchanged; because the flapping amplitudes of the left wing and the right wing are approximately unchanged, the generated aerodynamic force is approximately unchanged, but the action point of the aerodynamic force of the left wing moves forwards and approaches to the center of the longitudinal symmetry plane simultaneously, so that the head raising moment and the left rolling moment are generated simultaneously, and the aircraft realizes left circling motion;
(2) when the aircraft needs to perform right circling, the output end of the left linear stepping steering engine keeps still, the output end of the right linear stepping steering engine drives the rotating point of the right rocker arm sliding groove to move forwards along the right sliding groove of the base, so that the average position of the flapping angle output by the left rocker arm keeps unchanged, and the average position of the flapping angle output by the right rocker arm moves forwards; because the flapping amplitudes of the left wing and the right wing are approximately unchanged, the size of the generated aerodynamic force is approximately unchanged; but the right wing aerodynamic force action point moves forwards simultaneously and approaches to the center of the longitudinal symmetry plane, so that the head raising moment and the right rolling moment are generated simultaneously, and the aircraft can perform right circling motion.
