Wherein, the front part of the fuselage frame 5 is dug and is equipped with the duct for install preceding rotor 2.
Wherein, the main rotor 13 is arranged right above the mass center of the airplane and is used for providing lift force when the helicopter is in a mode; the hub of the aircraft does not need to be provided with any additional control systems such as a periodic variable pitch tilting disk, a flapping hinge, a shimmy hinge, a variable pitch hinge and the like, the attitude control of the aircraft is completely realized by a front rotor wing, a side rotor wing and a tilting wing, the number of main rotor wing parts is small, and the reliability is high; main rotor 13 contains two paddles, can be by motor (or fuel engine) direct drive, and to unmanned aerial vehicle, its paddle can be for fixed pitch formula, and pulling force size control realizes through changing motor speed. For a medium-sized unmanned aerial vehicle, a blade of the medium-sized unmanned aerial vehicle can be provided with a lead-lag hinge system, and the periodic pitch variation is realized by controlling the acceleration and deceleration of a motor in one rotation period.

As shown in fig. 3, fig. 4 (a) - (c) and fig. 5 (a) - (c), the flight principle of the present invention is explained in conjunction with a typical mission profile:
the unmanned aerial vehicle has two flight modes of a helicopter and a fixed wing, wings tilt upwards in the take-off stage, two side rotors, the front rotor 2 and the main rotor 13 generate upward lift together, the unmanned aerial vehicle vertically takes off in the helicopter mode, after reaching a specified height, the aircraft can tilt forwards and accelerate forwards by adjusting the posture, the unmanned aerial vehicle still maintains the control mode of the helicopter mode at the moment, after reaching the transition speed, the wings 7 on two sides start to tilt forwards quickly, meanwhile, the main rotor 13 also starts to reduce the rotating speed, the unmanned aerial vehicle transits to the fixed wing mode in a short time and then slightly accelerates to reach the cruise level flight speed, the main rotor 13 completely stops rotating and is automatically locked at a feathering position parallel to the fuselage, and the whole aircraft cruises in the low-resistance level flight in the fixed wing mode. When unmanned aerial vehicle need carry out the task of hovering or need descend perpendicularly, both sides wing 7 can vert upwards fast, and the organism gesture adjustment is the hypsokinesis simultaneously, and main rotor 13 starts and rotates with higher speed, provides the reverse pulling force of deceleration and also produces partly lift simultaneously. Along with the quick tilting of the wings to the vertical state, the main rotor wing 13 and the three small rotor wings start to bear the lift force of the whole unmanned aerial vehicle, the unmanned aerial vehicle completely transits to a helicopter mode to hover and fly, and then vertical landing or transition flat flying again can be selected to be a fixed wing mode according to task requirements.
Referring to fig. 6, for different flight modes, the control method of the present invention is as follows:
helicopter mode: the flight control algorithm of the helicopter mode adopts PID control similar to a plurality of rotors; acquiring the operating state of the helicopter in a mode, such as position information and attitude information, through a navigator and a sensor; the method comprises the steps of receiving a control instruction of the ground to control the position, calculating an expected position and an expected attitude through a rigid body kinematics model to obtain an expected speed and an expected angular speed, calculating the expected speed and the angular speed through a rigid body dynamics model to obtain an expected tension and moment, generating an expected rotor wing rotating speed through a control distribution model, and finally generating an accelerator instruction through a power unit model to control.
Fixed-wing mode shape: and performing attitude control and position control on the vehicle through an L1 guidance law by adopting total energy control. Transition mode: and adopting a model-free control algorithm based on reinforcement learning to solve the problem of nonlinear aerodynamic force.
The operation modes in different states of the invention are as follows:
1. the fixed wing is in a flat flying state:
(1) Plane flight pitching operation: the level fly pitch maneuver is mainly achieved by increasing or decreasing the drag of the front propeller. And increasing the rotating speed of the propeller of the front rotor 2 to increase the tension T3 generated by the propeller, and raising the head of the unmanned aerial vehicle, otherwise lowering the head.
(2) Level flight rolling control: the level flight rolling control is mainly realized by changing the tilting angles of the left wing 7 and the right wing 7 so as to generate non-opposite lifting force. If the left wing tilts upwards to increase the attack angle, the lift force L1 of the left wing is increased, the right wing tilts downwards to reduce the lift force L2 of the right wing, and the airplane rolls rightwards.
(3) Flat flight yaw manipulation: the flat-flying yaw manipulation is mainly realized by changing the tension difference of the propulsion propellers on two sides. If increase right side rotor 12 rotational speed for right side rotor 12 pulling force T1 increases, reduces the left side rotational speed, makes 8 pulling forces T2 of left side rotor reduce, then unmanned aerial vehicle drifts about left, otherwise then drifts about right.
2. The hovering state of the helicopter is as follows:
(1) Hover pitch maneuver: the hover pitch maneuver is accomplished primarily by increasing or decreasing the differential drag of the three propellers in front of the three rotors. If the rotating speed of propellers at two ends of the wing is reduced to reduce T1 and T2, and the rotating speed of the front rotor 2 is increased to increase T3, the airplane heads up.
(2) Hovering and rolling manipulation: mainly by changing the tension difference of the small rotors at the two wingtips. If the rotor speed of the right wing tip is increased, T1 is increased, the rotor speed of the left wing tip is reduced, T2 is reduced, and the airplane can roll leftwards.
(3) The hovering yaw control is mainly realized by changing the rotating speed of three small rotors and the main rotor 13, and a part of yaw moment can also be generated by the asymmetrical tilting of wings. If the rotating speed of the main rotor 13 is increased and the rotating speed of the three small rotors is reduced, the airplane can yaw anticlockwise under the condition that the total lift force is kept unchanged. Or the right wing tilts backwards, the left wing tilts forwards, and the plane can yaw clockwise by utilizing the projection of T1 and T2 in the horizontal plane.
When the helicopter is hovered, the wings incline upwards, the reactive torque generated by the three small rotors can offset the reactive torque generated by a part of the large rotors, and meanwhile, the three small rotors can also generate upward lift force, so that the power waste caused by the installation of tail rotors is avoided. And the tail rotor can only operate the yaw of the helicopter mode, three small rotors in the invention can provide three-degree-of-freedom control moments of all flight modes, so that a rotor pitch-changing mechanism, a fixed wing pneumatic control surface, a steering engine and a large number of parts are omitted in phase change, and much weight is saved. After the aircraft is rotated into flat flight, the three small rotors can still provide the maneuvering torque and the propelling force of the aircraft body, a control surface is not needed, and the redundant weight of a maneuvering system is reduced. After the rotor completely transits to the forward flight state, the large rotor stops rotating and automatically feathers, all lift force is provided by the wings, and the lift force loss caused by the shock wave of the forward-moving blades and the stall of the backward-moving blades when the rotor flies forward is avoided.
The invention can accelerate and decelerate the forward flight in a pure helicopter mode, can perform wing tilting transition after reaching or approaching the entry speed of a fixed wing mode or can directly start the main rotor 13 to enter the helicopter mode in the fixed wing mode, can greatly shorten the transition time compared with the common tilting rotor and tilting wing aircraft, and avoids the problems that the nonlinear aerodynamic force of the transition state is difficult to predict and the control system is difficult to stabilize.
Compared with the traditional single-rotor helicopter, the invention does not need a tail rotor to consume power, does not need to design a slender tail beam, reduces the weight of a transmission system, can design a fuselage to be more compact, does not reduce a yaw control moment much, can still provide a huge yaw moment through tilting wings, and can provide a part by adjusting the rotating speed difference between the three rotors and the main rotor 13, so that the helicopter is used for maintaining balanced control under the condition of low wind speed. Compared with a double-rotor-wing tilting type airplane (such as a osprey V22), the invention uses high-speed small propellers when flying forwards, and the area ratio of the reverse flow area of the inner ring is smaller than that of the slow large propellers of the tilting rotor wing, so that the forward flying efficiency is higher. In addition, the invention can rely on the main rotor 13 to provide a part of lift force in the transition state, and the tilting process can be quickly realized, thereby avoiding that the aircraft is in a nonlinear control area for a long time. Compared with the X3 type high-speed helicopter of European helicopter company, the wing of the invention can be tilted, and the downwash of the main rotor 13 can not be shielded in a hovering state, so that the loss of lift force is small. Compared with a coaxial helicopter, the main rotor 13 of the configuration provided by the invention does not need any tilting disk and a variable pitch mechanism, the attitude control in a hovering state is completed by three small rotors, the complexity of the mechanism is simplified, the reliability is improved, and simultaneously, because the positions of the three small rotors are farther away from the gravity center, the provided pitching and rolling moments are also larger than the mode of controlling the main rotor 13 to tilt, the controllability is higher, and the wind resistance is better. In addition, when flying forward at high speed, the coaxial dual rotors generate resistance which is even more than 50% of the resistance of the whole aircraft because the hub is very high (the high design is necessary to prevent the oar from beating), but the invention does not need to tilt the main rotor 13, the main rotor 13 can be made to be closer to the aircraft body, the hub can be designed to be very short, and the resistance of the forward flying is naturally reduced greatly. Compared with a multi-rotor-fixed wing combined type unmanned aerial vehicle, the unmanned aerial vehicle has higher efficiency in hovering, and due to the fact that the huge main rotor 13 can provide large pulling force in the limit state, the effective load of the unmanned aerial vehicle can reach the same weight as the weight of the vehicle body, and the unmanned aerial vehicle can adapt to the transportation of heavy-load goods. And the aircraft can feather the main rotor 13 after turning into the flat flight state so as to achieve the purpose of reducing resistance, and the efficiency of the forward flight is not inferior to that of the multi-rotor-fixed wing combined type unmanned aerial vehicle.
