Control surface and aircraft
Technical Field
The utility model relates to the technical field of aviation, in particular to a control surface and an airplane.
Background
The aircraft control surface is a steerable wing surface part in the wing and tail structure of the aircraft and is used for controlling the yaw, pitch and roll motions of the aircraft. For example, in aircraft, a rudder, typically mounted at the rear of a vertical tail wing, is used by the pilot to effect yaw steering about the vertical axis, such as to change the horizontal direction of the nose, along with elevators and ailerons to control pitch and roll movements of the aircraft.
The control surface structure of the traditional navigation aircraft is usually in a hinge connection mode, and is respectively formed by connecting a single lug joint arranged on a vertical tail beam and a double lug joint connected to the control surface beam through bolts, 4-6 metal machining parts are generally needed, and after assembly, the control surface structure rotates around the joints to achieve the purpose of deflection. In order to meet the installation and maintenance requirements of the control surface structure, an overhaul port and an installation port need to be formed in the skin at the front edge of the control surface, and the opening damages the surface of the control surface structure and influences the aerodynamic efficiency of the control surface. Meanwhile, in order to maintain and overhaul the control surface joint arranged on the vertical tail beam, a cover cap needs to be arranged on the control surface skin, so that the pneumatic efficiency is reduced, and the number of fasteners of the whole machine and the weight of the whole machine are increased. In addition, the traditional control surface needs to arrange the position of the control surface beam to the front edge position of the control surface as much as possible, so that the metal machining joint is as small as possible, and the weight of metal parts is reduced. This, in turn, results in the beams of the control surfaces not being arranged at the location of maximum thickness of the control surfaces, making the beams less load-bearing efficient.
