In some embodiments, the present embodiments provide an aircraft airborne recovery system that primarily enables recovery of one aircraft from another. For convenience of explanation, the recovered aircraft is a recovered aircraft, typically a small unmanned aerial vehicle, and the aircraft that performs recovery operation on the recovered aircraft is called a carrier aircraft, typically a large unmanned aerial vehicle. Of course, the sizes of the recovery aircraft and the carrier aircraft can be equal, for example, the recovery aircraft can be larger than the carrier aircraft if the same-specification aircraft is adopted, and the recovery aircraft can be correspondingly arranged according to actual recovery requirements.
The aerial recovery system of the aircraft mainly comprises an active installation piece 1, an active recovery piece 2, a passive installation piece 6 and a passive recovery piece 4, wherein the active recovery piece 2 is installed on the active installation piece 1, and the passive recovery piece 4 is installed on the passive installation piece 6. Wherein one of the active 1 and passive 6 mounts is for mounting on a carrier aircraft and the other is for mounting on a recovery aircraft. When the recovery is performed, the active recovery member 2 moves towards the passive recovery member 4, so that the active recovery member 2 and the passive recovery member 4 are in abutting connection to form a buckling relationship, and recovery acting force can be transmitted between the active recovery member 2 and the passive recovery member 4. After the fastening is completed, the carrier aircraft can transmit acting force to the recovery aircraft through the fastening connection between the active recovery piece 2 and the passive recovery piece 4 so as to drive the recovery aircraft to fly back.
Wherein the active recovery member 2 is movably mounted on the active mounting member 1 so as to be movable relative to the active mounting member 1. Through the movable installation, the abutting part of the active recycling piece 2 moves towards the abutting part of the passive recycling piece 4, so that the abutting part of the passive recycling piece 4 moves towards the abutting part, and the abutting part of the active recycling piece 2 and the abutting part of the passive recycling piece 4 are buckled. Wherein the movable mounting is a sliding connection, a rotating connection or other connection modes.
The abutment of the active recovery member 2 can be operated to move toward the abutment of the passive recovery member 4. The control operation can be realized by a driving mechanism, such as a control driving mechanism for starting, so as to apply a driving force to the active recovery member 2 to drive the abutting part of the active recovery member 2 to move towards the abutting part of the passive recovery member 4, a driving mechanism, such as a telescopic mechanism, a rotation driving mechanism, and the like, i.e. such as a telescopic cylinder, a motor, and the like, or a release mechanism, such as a locking mechanism, typically an electric latch, a hydraulic latch, and the like, and the active recovery member 2 can be driven to move by a precompressed elastic device or accumulated potential energy, such as a height potential energy, when the release mechanism releases. That is, the abutting portion of the active recovery member 2 can be operated to perform active movement, i.e., the fastening operation can be performed actively.
The active recovery piece 2 and the passive recovery piece 4 are abutted to form a buckling relationship, wherein buckling is generally realized through the strip-shaped piece 3 and the matched lock hole 5, a locking opening is formed in one side of the lock hole 5, the locking opening can be automatically or passively opened, so that the strip-shaped piece 3 can transversely move into the lock hole 5, and then a closed door body at the locking opening can automatically or passively move to enable the locking opening to be closed so as to maintain a buckling state.
Specifically, the abutting sides of the active recovery member 2 and the passive recovery member 4 are opposite to each other when in butt joint, the abutting part of one of the active recovery member and the passive recovery member is a strip-shaped member 3 extending in the left-right direction, the abutting part of the other one of the active recovery member and the passive recovery member is provided with a lock hole 5, and the locking opening of the lock hole 5 is positioned on the abutting side for guiding the strip-shaped member 3. As shown in the drawing, the strip 3 is disposed on the active recovery member 2 as an abutting portion of the active recovery member 2, and the lock hole 5 is disposed on an abutting portion of the passive recovery member 4, or may be disposed in the opposite manner. Wherein the bar 3 is for example a rod, a stretched rope or the like. The locking opening can be designed with reference to the side opening of the safety catch, but other designs can also be used.
In use, one of the active mount 1 and the passive mount 6 is mounted on a carrier aircraft and the other is mounted on a recovery aircraft. Then, the recovery aircraft and the carrier aircraft are flown synchronously, and the relative positions of the abutting portions of the active recovery member 2 and the passive recovery member 4 are set in a state of waiting for docking. Then actively operating the abutting part of the active recovery piece 2 to move towards the abutting part of the passive recovery piece 4, namely relatively moving until the strip-shaped piece 3 enters the lock hole 5 from the lock opening, so as to complete the buckling. In this aircraft aerial recovery system, wherein the active recovery member 2 can be actively operated to perform activities without the need to achieve docking by recovering the speed differential between the aircraft and the carrier aircraft. So that the collision force between the active recovery piece 2 and the passive recovery piece 4 is controllable when the active recovery piece 2 and the passive recovery piece 4 are abutted against each other to collide when in butt joint, namely the operation force for the active recovery piece 2 is realized, the overlarge collision force is avoided, and the recovery effect is ensured. In conclusion, the aerial recovery system of the aircraft can effectively solve the problem that the recovery effect of the aerial aircraft is poor.
In some embodiments, the distance between the carrier vehicle and the recovery vehicle is not controllable during recovery, and the relative distance range is relatively large. Based on this, it is possible to connect the active recovery member 2 and the active mounting member 1, and the passive recovery member 4 and the passive mounting member 6, one group of them being rotatably connected about an axis parallel to the strip member 3, and the other group of them being rotatably connected about an axis parallel to the strip member 3 or slidably connected in the abutment direction. Because one of the active recovery member 2 and the passive recovery member 4 has the strip member 3, the other has the lock hole 5, the recovery member rotation axis having the strip member 3 can be referred to the strip member 3, and the recovery member rotation axis having the lock hole 5 can be referred to the hole portion extending direction of the lock hole 5 which is matched with the strip member 3. In addition, the abutting direction is generally perpendicular to the extending direction of the strip 3, and as shown in the drawings, the abutting direction is the front-back direction, and the extending direction of the strip 3 is the left-right direction, so that the recovery vehicle and the carrier vehicle are arranged up and down. Of course, the recovery vehicle and the carrier vehicle may be arranged left and right, and the abutment direction may be the up-down direction, and the extending direction of the strip 3 may be the front-back direction.
In one version, the extending direction, the abutting direction and the juxtaposition direction of the strip 3, which refers to the juxtaposition direction between the carrier vehicle and the recovery vehicle, are all mutually perpendicular to each other.
As described above, one of the recovery members is rotated about an axis parallel to the strip member 3, and one end after the abutment is moved, and because of the rotation, there is not only a relative movement in the abutment direction but also a partial movement in a direction perpendicular to the abutment direction and perpendicular to the strip member 3, so that the two recovery members are moved relatively in the direction, and during the relative movement, the strip member 3 can be moved in a biased manner with respect to the locking notch.
The active recovery piece 2 rotates, the passive recovery piece 4 can slide, the active recovery piece 2 starts rotating until the active recovery piece 2 and the passive recovery piece 4 are abutted, and the locking opening and the strip piece 3 are staggered, especially in the staggered direction, if the locking opening is staggered, the strip piece 3 is close to the rotating shaft of the active recovery piece 2. At this time, the active recovery member 2 continues to rotate, while rotating, the passive recovery member 4 is pushed to slide along the abutting direction so as to self-adjust the positions of the active recovery member 4 in the abutting direction, and because of the rotation, the active recovery member 2 can also have a split motion perpendicular to the abutting direction, so that the strip-shaped member 3 and the locking notch have a relative motion in the direction perpendicular to the abutting direction and perpendicular to the extending direction of the strip-shaped member 3 until the strip-shaped member 3 and the locking notch are overlapped from staggering in the direction, and the strip-shaped member 3 enters the locking hole 5 from the locking notch when overlapped, and the locking is completed, namely the butt joint is completed.
Of course, the passive recovery member 4 rotates, and the active recovery member 2 slides as described above, and the movement patterns are similar. Similarly, when the passive recovery member 4 and the active recovery member 2 are both rotated, the butt joint operation is similar.
The final aim is that when one of them rotates, the other one slides or slides correspondingly, so that the abutting direction keeps synchronous movement, and in the direction perpendicular to the abutting direction and perpendicular to the extending direction of the strip-shaped piece 3 (such as the up-down direction in the figure), relative movement is formed, so that the strip-shaped piece 3 and the locking notch are staggered to overlap, and butt joint is completed when the abutting is performed. Because of the rotation, the rotation can be staggered within a certain range and can be relatively rotated to be overlapped.
In some embodiments, a rotational connection between one end hinged end of the active retrieval member 2 and the active mounting member 1 may be made such that the movement released by the active retrieval member 2 is rotational. The rotation can be realized by a motor, for example, the motor is arranged between the active mounting piece 1 and the active recovery piece 2 to drive the active recovery piece 2 to rotate, and the rotation degree can be detected by the detector to finish the buckling or not so as to judge whether to stop the rotation, for example, the locking rod at the locking opening is judged to be in an open or closed state, for example, the opening or closing is continuously detected, the completion of the butt joint is indicated, and the motor can be controlled to stop driving.
In some embodiments, when the rotation axis between the active mounting piece 1 and the active recovery piece 2 is in a horizontal state, and when the locking piece between the active recovery piece 2 and the active mounting piece 1 is unlocked, the abutting portion of the active recovery piece 2 can be actively released to swing back and forth along the flying direction under the action of gravity, so that the abutting portion of the passive recovery piece 4 is abutted in the backward swinging process. Before unlocking, the gravity center of the active recovery piece 2 is as high as possible, so that after the active recovery piece rotates to a vertical state, the amplitude of continuous backward swing is larger, the allowable staggering is ensured to be larger to the greatest extent, and a larger fault-tolerant space is provided. Wherein the active recovery member 2 may be provided with a center weight to control the position of the center of gravity.
In some embodiments, the connecting end of one end of the passive recovery member 4 and the passive mounting member 6 may be rotationally connected, and when the rotation axes of the connecting end and the passive recovery member 4 are in a horizontal state, the abutting portion of the other end of the passive recovery member 4 may swing backward, so as to adapt to the backward swing of the active recovery member 2, that is, the rotation axes between the passive recovery member 4 and the passive mounting member 6 are also extended left and right.
In some embodiments, a blocking torsion spring 7 may be provided between the passive recovery member 4 and the passive mount member 6 therein to prevent the abutment portion of the passive recovery member 4 from rotating rearward. In order to set up with hindering torsional spring 7 for rotate in initiative recovery piece 2, when the passive recovery piece 4 is supported in the collision, the collision force acts on passive recovery piece 4 this moment, passive recovery piece 4 will power transfer to hinder torsional spring 7 on, makes hinder torsional spring 7 take place to warp, so that passive recovery piece 4 can take place adaptive deformation. Of course, the passive recovery piece 4 can not be directly sprung out by collision force under the action of the blocking torsion spring 7, and keeps contact with the active recovery piece 2, so that the buckling connection is completed in the later relative movement process. The elastic coefficient of the blocking torsion spring 7 is not too small, the blocking torsion spring still can be sprung, and too large, the rotational kinetic energy of the active recovery member 2 is quickly released due to the too large elastic coefficient, so that the relative motion degree is not large.
In some embodiments, other damping devices, such as friction pair devices or general damping devices, may be provided between the passive recovery member 4 and the passive mounting member 6 to prevent the passive recovery member 4 from being sprung apart during a collision.
In some embodiments, to avoid the passive recovery element 4 being in a convex state at all times, a locking device may be provided between the passive mounting element 6 and the passive recovery element 4 during use to allow the passive recovery element 4 to be placed in a horizontal position prior to docking, at which time the passive recovery element 4 is prevented from standing by a locking device, such as a latch. Then when the butt joint is needed, the locking device is released, and the passive recovery piece 4 can be in the standing state under the action of the blocking torsion spring 7 so as to prepare for the butt joint with the active recovery piece 2.
In some embodiments, in order to increase the fault tolerance space, a plurality of abutting portions may be sequentially disposed on the passive recovery member 4 along the extending direction, and each abutting portion is provided with a lock hole 5, and each lock hole 5 is correspondingly provided with a locking opening.

And the inclined rod 9 is provided with a guide surface, so that when the inclined rod is in staggered abutting connection, the strip-shaped piece 3 can abut against the guide surface and move along the guide surface to enter the locking notch to complete buckling.

Also, the length of the strip 3 in the direction of extension determines the tolerance space in this direction. The strip-shaped piece 3 can be a rod piece or a rope body, and the strip-shaped piece 3 is preferably a rope body, so that a good pneumatic buffering effect can be achieved, and the phenomenon that the passive recovery piece 4 is sprung out due to collision between the strip-shaped piece 3 and the passive recovery piece 4 can be effectively avoided.

The bar 3 may be referred to as a catch, to catch, when rotated, a corresponding portion of the recovery vehicle, such as a hook, a projection, or the passive recovery member 4, such as the locking aperture 5 with a locking notch. The active recovery piece 2 can be actively operated to rotate, and can actively complete recovery, so that the recovery of the two machine bodies can be avoided.
In some embodiments, in the carrier vehicle, when the rotation axis of the active recovery member 2 is in a horizontal state, the bar-shaped member 3 of the active recovery member 2 can actively release the back-and-forth swing along the flying direction under the action of gravity when the locking member between the active recovery member 2 and the active mounting member 1 is unlocked.
