Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及无人机技术领域,更具体的说是涉及一种多旋翼复合式直升机。The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and more specifically relates to a multi-rotor compound helicopter.
背景技术Background technique
目前,高速直升机的设计一直是直升机领域的一大难题,传统的直升机在悬停和前飞的状态下都依靠一副或多副大旋翼提供升力,在高速平飞的状态下,其前行桨叶上会产生激波,后行桨叶则会失速产生大反流区,这种严重不对称的升力会损害旋翼的效率,限制了直升机的进一步提速。At present, the design of high-speed helicopters has always been a major problem in the field of helicopters. Traditional helicopters rely on one or more large rotors to provide lift in hovering and forward flight states. Shock waves will be generated on the blades, and the backward blades will stall and produce a large regurgitation zone. This severe asymmetric lift will damage the efficiency of the rotor and limit the further speed-up of the helicopter.
直升机飞行时,主旋翼旋转的反扭矩会使直升机向与主旋翼旋转的相反方向转动,而传统的单旋翼直升机通过安装尾桨以抵消主旋翼的反扭矩,尾桨会消耗约15%的发动机功率而不产生升力,造成了能量浪费,且尾桨还需要设计尾梁等结构支撑,进一步增加了全机的重量。When the helicopter is flying, the anti-torque of the main rotor rotation will cause the helicopter to rotate in the opposite direction to the rotation of the main rotor, while the traditional single-rotor helicopter is installed with a tail rotor to counteract the anti-torque of the main rotor, and the tail rotor will consume about 15% of the engine Power does not produce lift, resulting in a waste of energy, and the tail rotor also needs to be designed with structural supports such as tail beams, which further increases the weight of the whole machine.
现有技术中通过在两副旋翼的桨毂处安装倾斜盘和变距机构以实现姿态操纵,如共轴直升机;这种操纵机构十分复杂可靠性较低,操纵力矩不足,使得飞行器的机动能力受到限制。并且在高速前飞时其高桨毂产生的阻力甚至会超过全机阻力的50%,不利于飞行器巡航速度的提高。In the prior art, the attitude control is realized by installing a swash plate and a pitch-changing mechanism at the hubs of the two rotors, such as a coaxial helicopter; this kind of control mechanism is very complicated and reliable, and the control torque is insufficient, which makes the maneuverability of the aircraft restricted. And when flying forward at high speed, the resistance produced by its high propeller hub will even exceed 50% of the overall resistance, which is not conducive to the improvement of the cruising speed of the aircraft.
现有的多旋翼-固定翼复合式无人机中垂直起飞状态和固定翼前飞状态需要两套不同的动力系统,造成多旋翼和固定翼两种模态下的废重都有所增加,这使其很难超越同尺寸的直升机。In the existing multi-rotor-fixed-wing composite UAV, two different power systems are required for the vertical take-off state and the fixed-wing forward flight state, resulting in an increase in waste weight in both multi-rotor and fixed-wing modes. This makes it difficult to outperform helicopters of its size.
而传统的倾转旋翼飞行器进行模态切换时的过渡过程过长,导致飞行器长时间处于非线性控制区,造成可控性变差,事故多发。However, the transition process of traditional tilt-rotor aircraft is too long when switching modes, which causes the aircraft to stay in the non-linear control area for a long time, resulting in poor controllability and frequent accidents.
因此,如何提供一种多旋翼复合式直升机能够在实现多模态飞行并且提高飞行效率和机动性是本领域亟需解决的问题。Therefore, how to provide a multi-rotor compound helicopter that can realize multi-mode flight and improve flight efficiency and maneuverability is an urgent problem to be solved in this field.

本发明实施例公开了一种多旋翼复合式直升机,包括机身框架5、主旋翼13、机翼7、侧旋翼、前旋翼2和机翼倾转机构6;The embodiment of the present invention discloses a multi-rotor compound helicopter, comprising a fuselage frame 5, a
主旋翼13安装于机身框架5的正上方;The
机翼7通过机翼倾转结构6连接至机身框架5;The
机翼7的末端与侧旋翼对应连接;侧旋翼用于在固定翼模态前飞时提供拉力和偏航操纵力矩;还用于在直升机模态时提供向上的升力;The end of
前旋翼2安装于机身框架5的头部,用于提供俯仰操纵力矩,并且在直升机模态时提供向上的升力,或通过改变与主旋翼13的转速差产生操纵力矩。其中,机身框架5的前部挖设有涵道,用于安装前旋翼2。The
其中,主旋翼13安装在飞机质心正上方,用于在直升机模态时提供升力;其桨毂无需安装周期变距倾斜盘、挥舞铰、摆振铰、变距铰等任何附加操纵系统,飞机的姿态操纵完全由前旋翼,侧旋翼和倾转机翼实现,主旋翼零件较少,可靠性较高;主旋翼13包含两片桨叶,可由电机(或燃油发动机)直接驱动,对于小型无人机,其桨叶可以为固定桨距式,拉力大小控制通过改变电机转速实现。对于中型无人机,其桨叶可以安装超前滞后铰链系统,通过在一个旋转周期内控制电机加减速实现周期变距。对于大型无人机,其桨叶根部可安装变距铰,通过拉杆连接自动倾斜器实现周期变距控制。Among them, the
机翼7在平飞状态时用于产生升力,在直升机模态悬停时则可以通过不对称偏转主旋翼13下洗流的方式抵消一部分主旋翼13的反扭矩。The

在另一实施例中,前旋翼2在模态切换时通过提供俯仰操纵力矩改变主旋翼13拉力方向,用于提高模态过渡效率。具体步骤包括:直升机模态向固定翼模态过渡时,飞机首先低头向前倾斜,利用主旋翼13拉力加速,同时两侧机翼7快速向前倾转切换到固定翼模式,达到设定空速后主旋翼13停转。从固定翼模态向直升机模态过渡时,飞机首先抬头并启动主旋翼13减速,两侧机翼7快速向后倾转切换到直升机模式,前飞速度降为0后进入悬停状态。In another embodiment, the

在另一实施例中,机身框架5底面的前后两侧分别设有前起落架4和后起落架9。前后起落架为四点式,具有缓冲减震的结构和较大的支撑面积,可以保证无人机垂直降落触地时具有足够的稳定性。In another embodiment, a front landing gear 4 and a
在另一实施例中,机身框架5顶端安装有空速管1,用于测量机固定翼模态飞行时的空速。其中,测量的空速反馈给飞行控制系统,以获取飞行状态信息,便于对飞行进行精确控制。In another embodiment, a pitot tube 1 is installed on the top of the fuselage frame 5 for measuring the airspeed of the aircraft in fixed-wing modal flight. Among them, the measured airspeed is fed back to the flight control system to obtain flight status information for precise flight control.
如图3、图4(a)-(c)和图5(a)-(c),结合典型任务剖面对本发明的飞行原理进行说明:As shown in Fig. 3, Fig. 4 (a)-(c) and Fig. 5 (a)-(c), the flight principle of the present invention is described in conjunction with the typical task profile:
本发明具有直升机和固定翼两个飞行模态,起飞阶段机翼倾转向上,两个侧旋翼和前旋翼2以及主旋翼13一起产生向上的升力,无人机以直升机模态垂直起飞,到达指定高度后,飞机可以通过调整姿态前倾加速,此时无人机依然保持直升机模态的控制方式,在达到过渡速度后,两侧机翼7开始快速前倾转,同时主旋翼13也开始降低转速,无人机在较短的时间内过渡到固定翼模态,随后略微加速达到巡航平飞速度,主旋翼13完全停转并自动锁定在与机身平行的顺桨位置,全机以固定翼模态低阻力的平飞巡航。当无人机需要执行悬停的任务或者需要垂直降落时,两侧机翼7可以快速倾转向上,同时机体姿态调整为抬头后倾,主旋翼13启动并加速旋转,提供减速的反向拉力同时也产生一部分升力。随着机翼快速倾转至垂直状态,主旋翼13和三个小旋翼开始承担全机的升力,无人机就完全过渡到了直升机模态悬停飞行,之后根据任务需求可以选择垂直降落或者再次过渡平飞转为固定翼模态。The present invention has two flight modes of helicopter and fixed wing, and the wing tilts upward during the take-off stage, and the two side rotors, the
如图6,对于不同飞行模态,本发明的控制方法如下:As shown in Figure 6, for different flight modes, the control method of the present invention is as follows:
直升机模态:直升机模态的飞控算法采用类似多旋翼的PID控制;通过导航器和传感器获取直升机模态下的运行状态,如位置信息和姿态信息;通过接收地面的控制指令进行位置控制,通过刚体运动学模型对期望的位置和姿态进行计算,得到期望速度和角速度,在由刚体动力学模型对期望的速度和角速度进行计算,得到期望的拉力和力矩,经过控制分配模型生成期望的旋翼转速,最后通过动力单元模型生成油门指令进行控制。Helicopter mode: The flight control algorithm of helicopter mode adopts PID control similar to multi-rotor; the operating state in helicopter mode, such as position information and attitude information, is obtained through navigator and sensors; position control is performed by receiving ground control commands, Calculate the expected position and attitude through the rigid body kinematics model to obtain the expected velocity and angular velocity. Calculate the expected velocity and angular velocity by the rigid body dynamics model to obtain the expected pulling force and moment, and generate the expected rotor through the control distribution model The speed is finally controlled by generating the accelerator command through the power unit model.
固定翼模态:采用总能量控制对其进行姿态控制和L1制导律进行位置控制。过渡模态:采用基于强化学习的无模型控制算法以应对非线性气动力的问题。Fixed-wing mode: use total energy control for attitude control and L1 guidance law for position control. Transition Mode: A model-free control algorithm based on reinforcement learning to deal with nonlinear aerodynamics.
本发明不同状态下的操纵方式如下:The manipulation mode under the different states of the present invention is as follows:
1、固定翼平飞状态:1. Fixed-wing level flight status:
(1)平飞俯仰操纵:平飞俯仰操纵主要通过增大或减小前部螺旋桨的拉力实现。增大前旋翼2螺旋桨转速使其产生的拉力T3增大则无人机抬头,反之则低头。(1) Pitch control in level flight: pitch control in level flight is mainly realized by increasing or decreasing the pulling force of the front propeller. Increase the speed of the propeller of the
(2)平飞滚转操纵:平飞滚转操纵主要通过改变左右两侧机翼7的倾转角,以产生不对成升力实现。如左侧机翼向上倾转增大迎角,使得左侧机翼升力L1增大,右侧机翼向下倾转,使得右侧机翼升力L2减小,飞机就向右滚转。(2) Rolling control in level flight: Rolling control in level flight is mainly achieved by changing the inclination angles of the
(3)平飞偏航操纵:平飞偏航操纵主要通过改变两侧推进螺旋桨的拉力差来实现。如增大右侧旋翼12转速,使得右侧旋翼12拉力T1增大,减小左侧转速,使得左侧旋翼8拉力T2减小,则无人机向左偏航,反之则右偏航。(3) Level flight yaw control: level flight yaw control is mainly realized by changing the tension difference of the propellers on both sides. If the rotation speed of the
2、直升机悬停状态:2. Helicopter hovering state:
(1)悬停俯仰操纵:悬停俯仰操纵主要通过增大或减小三旋翼前后三个螺旋桨的拉力差实现。如减小机翼两端的螺旋桨转速使得T1,T2减小,增大前旋翼2转速使得T3增加,则飞机抬头。(1) Hovering and pitching control: Hovering and pitching control is mainly realized by increasing or decreasing the tension difference between the front and rear three propellers of the trirotor. For example, reducing the speed of the propellers at both ends of the wing makes T1 and T2 decrease, increasing the speed of the
(2)悬停滚转操纵:主要通过改变两个翼尖的小旋翼的拉力差来实现。如增大右侧翼尖的旋翼转速,使得T1增加,减小左侧翼尖的旋翼转速,使得T2减少,飞机就能实现向左滚转。(2) Hover and roll control: It is mainly realized by changing the pull difference of the small rotors at the two wingtips. If the rotor speed of the right wing tip is increased, T1 increases, and the rotor speed of the left wing tip is decreased, so that T2 decreases, and the aircraft can roll to the left.
(3)悬停偏航操纵主要通过改变三个小旋翼和主旋翼13的转速来实现,也可通过机翼的不对称倾转产生一部分偏航力矩。如增大主旋翼13转速,减小三个小旋翼的转速,在保持总升力不变的情况下可以实现飞机逆时针偏航。或者使右侧机翼向后倾转,左侧机翼向前倾转,利用T1,T2在水平面内的投影可以使得飞机顺时针偏航。(3) The hovering yaw control is mainly realized by changing the rotational speeds of the three small rotors and the
本发明悬停时机翼倾转朝上,三个小旋翼产生的反扭矩可以抵消一部分大旋翼产生的反扭矩,同时三个小旋翼也能产生向上的升力,这避免了安装尾桨造成的功率浪费。而且尾桨只能操作直升机模态的偏航,本发明中的三个小旋翼能够提供所有飞行模态的三个自由度操纵力矩,相当于变相省去了旋翼变距机构,固定翼气动舵面,舵机等大量零件,节省了很多重量。转入平飞后,三个小旋翼依然可以提供机体的操纵力矩和推进力,无需舵面,减少了操纵系统的冗余重量。完全过渡到前飞状态后,大旋翼停转并自动顺桨,所有升力皆由机翼提供,避免了旋翼在前飞时因为前行桨叶激波和后行桨叶失速造成的升力损失。When the present invention is hovering, the wings are tilted upwards, and the reaction torque generated by the three small rotors can offset the reaction torque generated by a part of the large rotors. At the same time, the three small rotors can also generate upward lift, which avoids the power caused by the installation of the tail rotor. waste. Moreover, the tail rotor can only operate the yaw of the helicopter mode, and the three small rotors in the present invention can provide three degrees of freedom control moments of all flight modes, which is equivalent to eliminating the rotor pitch change mechanism in disguise, and the fixed-wing aerodynamic rudder A large number of parts such as surface and steering gear save a lot of weight. After turning into level flight, the three small rotors can still provide the control moment and propulsion of the airframe, without rudder surface, which reduces the redundant weight of the control system. After completely transitioning to the forward flight state, the large rotor stops and feathers automatically, and all the lift is provided by the wings, which avoids the loss of lift caused by the shock wave of the forward blades and the stall of the backward blades when the rotor is flying forward.
本发明能够以纯直升机模态进行加速和减速前飞,可以在达到或接近固定翼模态进入速度以后再进行机翼倾转过渡或者在固定翼模态时可以直接开启主旋翼13进入直升机模态,过渡时间相对于普通的倾转旋翼和倾转机翼飞机可以大幅缩短,避免了过渡态非线性气动力难以预测以及控制系统难以稳定的问题。The present invention can carry out acceleration and deceleration forward flight in pure helicopter mode, and can perform wing tilting transition after reaching or approaching the entry speed of the fixed-wing mode or directly open the
比起传统的单旋翼直升机,本发明无需尾桨消耗功率,不用设计细长的尾梁,传动系统的重量也有所降低,机身可以设计得更加紧凑,而偏航操纵力矩并没有降低很多,依然可以通过倾转机翼提供巨大偏航力矩,调整三旋翼和主旋翼13的转速差也可以提供一部分,用于低风速情况下维持平衡的操纵。比起双旋翼倾转式飞机(如鱼鹰V22),本发明前飞时用的是高速小桨,内圈反流区占面积比小于倾转旋翼的慢速大桨,因此前飞效率更高。此外,在过渡态本发明能够依靠主旋翼13提供一部分升力,倾转过程可以快速实现,避免了飞行器很长时间处于非线性控制区。比起欧洲直升机公司的X3型高速直升机,本发明的机翼可倾转,在悬停状态不会遮挡主旋翼13的下洗流,因此升力损失小。比起共轴直升机,本发明提出的构型主旋翼13无需任何倾斜盘以及变距机构,悬停状态的姿态操纵全部由三个小旋翼完成,简化了机构的复杂度,提高了可靠度,同时由于三个小旋翼的位置距离重心更远,提供的俯仰和滚转力矩也比操纵主旋翼13倾斜的方式要大,可控度更高,抗风性更好。另外,高速前飞时,共轴双旋翼由于桨毂很高(为了防止打桨必须设计高),产生的阻力甚至会超过全机阻力的50%,而本发明不需要倾斜主旋翼13,主旋翼13可以做得比较贴近机身,桨毂可以设计得很短,其前飞时阻力也就自然降低了很多。比起多旋翼-固定翼复合式无人机,本发明在悬停时效率更高,由于巨大的主旋翼13极限状态能提供很大的拉力,该机的有效载荷可以达到和机身重量相同,能适应大载重货物运输。而该机在转入平飞状态后又能够将主旋翼13顺桨以达到减小阻力的目的,前飞的效率不逊于多旋翼-固定翼复合式无人机。Compared with traditional single-rotor helicopters, the present invention does not require tail rotor to consume power, does not need to design a slender tail beam, the weight of the transmission system is also reduced, the fuselage can be designed more compact, and the yaw control torque is not much reduced. It is still possible to provide a huge yaw moment by tilting the wings, and adjusting the speed difference between the trirotor and the
