Description

The useful model belongs to the military industry, in particular to aerial reconnaissance, can be used in agriculture, forestry, construction, rescue services, security and surveillance.

A utility model relates to a hybrid-lift aerial vehicle that uses a helium-filled or other lighter-than-air gas envelope to offset all or substantially all of the weight of the aerial vehicle, where the aerial vehicle uses engines to lift the payload, control and move the aerial vehicle and the payload cargo to the side, to provide lifts with a decrease, essentially eliminating or completely eliminating the need to replace ballast.

The utility model is based on the objective of providing an advanced aerial reconnaissance vehicle that can provide payload lifts over relatively short distances without the need to replace ballast, and that uses an envelope filled with helium or another lighter-than-air gas to offset or mostly offset the weight of the aircraft, adjustable and preferably reversible vertical thrusters provide the power to lift the payload.

Another goal of this utility model is to provide an improved air vehicle that does not rely on aerodynamics to achieve lift or stay in the air and that has greater maneuverability, making it easier to capture and deliver payloads.

An air vehicle is taken as the closest analogue (11.

The air vehicle contains a shell (3) (see Fig. 1) (1|Й, made with the possibility of placing gas lighter than air, the gas shell (3) is mounted on the glider (5) and fixed to it with cables (9), on the shell there are two adjustable low-thrust side thrusters to move the air vehicle laterally to the delivery location, the airframe is equipped with vertical low-thrust thrusters that are continuously fired to lift and hold the air vehicle and payload in the air and force the air vehicle to descend and enable payload to re-engage with the earth's surface.

The disadvantages of the analogue are the rounded shape of the shell, which has the effect of air masses, which

Z makes it difficult to control the air vehicle, such aerodynamic forms require significant fuel consumption during control and transportation of the payload, gas turbine engines of horizontal movement (15) (see Fig. 1) | rest on a rigid frame, which is connected to a shell covered with a cable net. During significant forces of the air flow on the shell and on the aircraft as a whole, the resistance of the horizontal thrust engines and their control at the points of connection will have deformation, and therefore damage to the shell, and will require to eliminate the shortcomings of the complication and additional weighting of the structure.

Engines 13, mounting structures 11, glider 5 have considerable weight, which significantly burdens the aircraft.

The proposed useful model has a frame on which a shell filled with a light gas mixture is fixed, it is distinguished by the arrangement of electric motors along one axis, which have two stages of movement in space, which control the ascent, descent and direction of the aerial vehicle.

The basis of a useful model is the task of improving aerial reconnaissance equipment, making the model economically feasible, technological and easy to manufacture, use and maintain. A useful model is aimed at increasing the duration of hovering over a given point.

The given task is solved by the fact that the air vehicle with hybrid lifting power, which contains a frame on which a shell filled with a light gas mixture is fixed, according to a useful model, the screw electric motors are located along one axis and fixed on the frame and have two degrees of freedom of movement in space , and are attached to the hull, on the hull there is a power supply, observation, control and communication device, the purpose of which is to control the ascent, descent and direction of the aircraft, move deep into the defense line and monitor the theater of military operations.

The body of the reconnaissance aerial device is filled with a light gas mixture and is controlled by a rotary screw device. The aerial model is equipped with means of power supply, observation, navigation and remote control. The purpose of which is to monitor the theater of operations for a long time.

The essence of the useful model is explained by the drawings, where in figure 1 (top view) and in figures 2, C (side view) and in figures 4, 5 (view of movement nodes and connections of electrical circuits) 60 an aerial vehicle with a hybrid lifting force is shown , where:

1. - hermetic transparent cylinder 2. - cylinder mounting frame 3. - rotating frame mechanism with motors 4. - frame with motors 5. - first screw electric motor 6 - second screw electric motor 7 - rotation frame in the horizontal plane 8 - power supply, control elements and communication 9. - mechanism for moving the frame in the horizontal plane 10. - light gas mixture 11. - suspension for attaching observation devices and containers 12. - observation device 13. - container for attaching modules 14. - supporting frame 15. - solar battery 16. - bearing 17. - sliding joint 18. - plug for connecting the motor of vertical rotation of the frame 19. - bearing bracket 20. - box for advancing the motor contact 21. - gear reducer 22. - movable connection of the frame.

A transparent polyethylene cylinder 1 is attached to the frame 2 (Fig. 1) (Fig. 5), which is filled with ultralight gas 10 (Fig. 2), (Fig. C), (Fig. 5). The frame opens downwards on the movable joint 22 (Fig. 5) for putting on the balloon 1. Three frames 4, 7, 14 (Fig. 1), (Fig. 2), (Fig. 3) are attached to the frame.

The frame 14 is load-bearing, it is immovably fixed with the frame of the device 2 (Fig. 5) and the suspension 11 (Fig. 2), (Fig. 3). On the frame 14 from above, the power, control and communication elements are fixed around the perimeter in a protected hermetic housing 8 (Fig. 1), (Fig. 2), (Fig. 3). The frame 7 is attached to the frame 14 by a movable joint bearing 16, which is located in the spherical holder 19 (Fig. 4), (Fig. 5),

Z, which allows you to move in a circle in the horizontal plane by 180" with the help of the motor 9, which rotates the frame 7 with the gear reducer 21. The frame 4 is attached to the frame 7, which, with the help of the rotating mechanism Z, makes it possible to turn the frame 4, on which the electric motors 5 are attached. 6 in the vertical plane at 907. The connection of the electric motors to the control and power elements 8 occurs through a sliding connection 17, which is located along the perimeter of the frame 7 and the fixed fork 18, the entire connection is closed by a box 20, which allows the contacts of the frame 7 to move along circle and keep contact with plug 18 (Fig. 4), (Fig. 5).

Monitoring devices 12 and containers 13 (Fig. 2), (Fig. 3) are attached to the suspension 11.

The solar battery 15 restores energy resources, located on top of the sealed housing.

A useful model works as follows: an ultralight gas mixture 10 (for example, helium), which fills a transparent polyethylene cylinder and is attached to the frame 2 (Fig. 5), acts as a BE force, (Fig. 2) pushes out, lifts the device into the air. If necessary, screw motors 5, b help to accelerate the ascent and descent of the model by simultaneously rotating in the opposite direction. When the device has reached the required horizon for observation, the frame with motors 4 is turned 90" (Fig. 3) by motor Z (Fig. 1), (Fig. 2), and begins to move in the required direction horizontally with the help of one motor 5, acts force E, control of the horizontal direction is carried out by the motor 9 (Fig. 1), (Fig. 2), (Fig. 3), (Fig. 4), (Fig. 5), which is mounted on the frame 14, and which with the help of the rotation of the gear reducer 21, which is pressed onto the motor axis, advances the frame 7, on which the gear cuts corresponding to the reducer 21 are applied from below. The frame 7 is advanced with the help of bearings 16, which rotate in spherical cages. The current supply to the motors is carried out by contacts, which during rotation slide horizontally along the fork.

The return of the device to the control point is performed by the instruments of the utility model in the opposite direction, but the lowering is performed with the help of two engines 5, 6, which overcome the force of gas lift. Thus, the task is accomplished.

The construction of the cylinder frame, body, suspension of the model is made of light aluminum, magnesium, titanium alloys, or composite materials, such as carbon fiber, the bearings can also be non-metallic.

The model is controlled via a protected radio channel that is resistant to radio interference. Monitoring, control and communication devices are similar to the equipment of quadcopters of the company 0 or another brand. Communication may be supported by satellite communication, but the emergency control channel is possible through direct communication with the device.

Central electric motors, depending on the task, weight, size of the device, are calculated for the appropriate power.

The transparent cylinder with a light gas mixture is divided into 8 parts, each part is filled separately (gas filling places are not shown on the model) in case of damage, this scheme gives the air device survivability. The calculation of the survivability reserve should be performed depending on the conditions of the task, for example, damage to 2-3 parts should not affect the quality of the flight. If it is necessary to quickly descend to the destination, it is possible to use a partial descent of the gas mixture, with 3-4 sections, the gas release device is not shown on the model. Since the model has the main lifting element - a gas mixture, in this case, electrical devices can use energy resources to perform the task for a much longer time, compared to other reconnaissance means.

The useful model is equipped with devices for charging the storage battery from the solar battery (Fig. 2), (Fig. 3), which are installed on the inner part of the housing 8, and from the operation of the propellers to convert air energy into electrical energy from the wind during steaming (Fig. C ) and 15 observations on the horizon. A similar economy is offered |Z) Thus, the device is adapted to recover energy resources and work in the air for a long time.

Using a useful model in other fields, except for the military, it is possible to additionally install solar batteries directly on top of the balloons. Thus, significantly increase the resource of the model's power system and its recovery time.

Quick replacement and repair of cylinders is possible thanks to the movable connection 22, which can be a ring, a clamp, which allows the frame to be opened downwards and fixed in the closed position by a bolt (not shown in the diagram).

Schemes of promotion in two degrees of freedom and electrical connections may be different.

The utility model is intended for observation on the contact line and 3-5 km beyond the contact line. If necessary, the model can observe a considerable distance beyond the contact line, but without returning to the original control point. The utility model is designed to independently perform tasks along the contact line in favorable weather conditions. And during a significant force of the wind in the direction of the enemy and low cloud cover of 800-1000 meters, the model is attached to the device in the container 13 to a tensioning device, for example, a transparent cord (hair)

From the place of control to the surface of the soil, building, mobile mechanism. Under the influence of the wind, the useful model hovers over the observation area above the clouds and descends to the observation horizon with the help of propeller engines, captures the situation, observes and hides in the clouds again. The model works like a kite. Similar proposals exist in the |2Y model. Thus, a useful model can observe the combat situation for a long time in adverse weather conditions for other light reconnaissance vessels.

Thanks to light gas, the model can rise to a considerable height of up to 2-4 km. without spending energy resources for this and being invisible thanks to the transparent case, at such a height energy resources will be spent only on observation and radio communication. Propeller engines up to 15-20 cm in size will be inconspicuous even from a distance of 1000 meters. In the position fixed by the tensioning device, the model can perform the role of a repeater, a means of communication with manpower in the rear of the enemy at a considerable distance.

On the suspension, in addition to the tensioning device, it is possible to attach other modules, for example, other flying devices, for example, quadcopters, to raise them to a height of 2-4 km, while saving the main energy resource during the ascent and allowing to operate at greater distances. If necessary, it is possible to fix various explosive devices on the container, which can be dropped from a height and accurately controlled by various means, for example, quadcopters. In this case, with an increase in the payload, it is advisable to attach additional cylinders on top of the existing ones (Fig. 2). It is possible to attach devices to the suspension of the container, which are able to fix the useful model on various objects, for example, tree branches. An example can be fixing the tension anchor device to the upper branches of the trees of the forest strip, rising and lowering above the trees to the required distance for observation, on the tension device, secretly conduct observations, masking behind the vegetation, if necessary, disconnect and return to the starting point.
