Description

Morphing wing based on bistable superstructure
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of airplane wing morphing, and particularly relates to a morphing wing based on a bistable superstructure.
Background
The morphing wing aims to realize the self-adaptive shape change of the aircraft according to different flight environments and flight tasks, further change the flight attitude and obtain the optimal aerodynamic performance. The area and the shape of the lifting body of the morphing wing are adjusted by changing the position of the front edge, the position of the rear edge, the camber line radian and the thickness of the wing, so that the lift-drag ratio of the airplane can be effectively improved, and the oil consumption and the noise are reduced.
However, the conventional morphing wing seriously affects the stability of the aircraft during morphing, resulting in large changes in trim resistance of the aircraft; meanwhile, a large variant driving force is required due to the deformation process, and the self-adaptive switching is difficult to realize and the state is difficult to maintain; furthermore, the wing has poor flexibility and weight characteristics.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention mainly aims to provide a morphing wing based on a bistable superstructure, which realizes the continuity of the morphing wing deformation process and reduces the influence on the stability of an aircraft, reduces the driving force by combining the switching of the bistable structure between two states, improves the capability of keeping the states to adapt to different task requirements, improves the flexibility of the wing, and has the advantages of light structure, quick response time, smooth wing surface deformation result, maintainable molded surface, excellent fatigue performance and the like.
The purpose of the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
the invention discloses a morphing wing based on a bistable superstructure, which comprises an upper skin, a lower skin, a driver, a wing rib, a cross beam, a morphing assembly and a motor.
The driver is a telescopic rod and is used for driving the deformation assembly to regulate and control the thickness change of the skin. The telescopic link is under the drive of motor, and the crossbeam upwards or moves down, drives power transmission drive deformation subassembly.
The deformation component is a bistable structure variable-density arrangement cell element, and the bistable structure comprises a curved beam and a side wall; each row is formed by a plurality of deformation cell elements and telescopic rods to form a driving row, and the driving rows are symmetrically arranged to form the deformation component. The bistable structure implementation method comprises the following steps: starting from an initial first stable equilibrium state, when the applied force F exceeds a critical buckling load Fcr, the bi-stable member will buckle and snap into another second stable equilibrium state and retain its deformed shape after unloading. The bi-stable member is capable of rapidly returning to the first stable equilibrium state upon application of a counter force. Accordingly, the bi-stable member exhibits a similar highly non-linear force-displacement curve under displacement control loads, exhibiting a positive slope and a positive stiffness with increasing displacement or force during pull-in from a first stable equilibrium state with local minimum strain energy U1 to a second stable equilibrium state. Beyond Fcr, the force rapidly drops to zero and reaches a peak negative value, indicating a negative stiffness. A zero force corresponds to an unstable or fast passing point with a local maximum strain energy Umax. After the peak is exceeded, the negative force increases to zero and above, again showing positive stiffness and reducing strain energy. The second zero force point represents a second stable equilibrium state with a local minimum strain energy U2, indicating that the bi-stable element can remain in this state without any external force or actuation being applied.
