Description

能垂直起降的固定翼飞机及其飞行控制方法 技术领域
本发明属于飞行器领域,具体涉及一种能垂直起降的固定翼飞机及其飞行控制方法。
背景技术
众所周知,固定翼飞机利用机翼相对气流运动产生升力抵抗重力,具有飞行速度快、航程远、载重大、能效高等优点,其缺点是需要长距离跑道,无法在空间实现悬停;而旋翼飞机利用旋翼所产生的拉力抵抗重力,通过控制旋翼平面与水平面倾斜角来提供飞机水平运动的动力,具有结构简单、可垂直起降、可空间悬停的优点,其缺点是速度慢、航程短、载重小、能效低。
因此,很多人一直希望能结合固定翼飞机和旋翼飞机的优点,在这些方面人们也进行了不少尝试:
美国的V22鱼鹰飞机是采用了倾转旋翼的技术方案,当旋翼的旋转平面与重量方向垂直时,飞机处于旋翼模式,此时可以进行垂直起降与悬停;当飞机需要水平运动时,旋翼倾转至其旋转平面与地面平行,此时旋翼的动力作为推进动力。
另外还有一种方式采用尾座式起飞方案,即将飞机整体倾转,当飞机整体垂直于地面时,旋翼的旋转平面与地面平行,旋翼提供的是抵抗重力的拉力,此时飞机可以进行垂直起降及悬停,当飞机平行于地面时,旋翼的旋转平面与地面垂直,旋翼所产生的力作为推进力,此时飞机可以进行高速巡航。
在蓄电池能量密度有限条件的制约下,如何提高飞机的载荷能力、留空时间和航程,成为我们所面临的一大问题,对于无人机领域更是如此,现有的设计,虽然解决了固定翼飞机垂直起降的问题,但仍旧不是能量效率最优的解决 方案,因为用于固定翼推进的旋翼和用于垂直起降的旋翼在能效方面有着完全相反的设计要求,用于固定翼推进的旋翼需要小直径、小桨距、小推力,而用于垂直起降的旋翼需要是大直径、小桨距、大推力,现有的倾转旋翼和尾座式的设计方案是兼顾推进与悬停而进行折中设计,导致二者的能量效率均无法达到最佳状态。
发明内容
本发明的目的在于提供一种能垂直起降的固定翼飞机及其飞行控制方法,本发明可以按高速巡航模式运行,也可以按垂直起降模式运行,并且两种模式下均能达到能量效率最高的工作状态。

进一步的,在所述第一撑臂、第二撑臂上分别设有第一拨销、第二拨销,且第一拨销、第二拨销分别位于所述铰接轴的两个相反侧。
进一步的,所述收放驱动机构包括旋转体、滑动体及导向体,导向体及旋转体均安装于所述机身上,滑动体与导向体滑动配合,在滑动体上设有拨槽,旋转体上设有拨指,拨指偏离于旋转体的旋转轴心,拨指插入拨槽内;在滑动体上设有第一拨动部、第二拨动部,第一拨销、第二拨销分别插入第一拨动部、第二拨动部内。

能垂直起降的固定翼飞机,包括机身,在机身上设有固定翼及推进器,在固定翼内设有收纳空间,在固定翼上设有与收纳空间相通的开口,在固定翼上还设有活动门,该活动门与开口位置相对应,在固定翼内设有收放支撑机构以及对收放支撑机构进行收放驱动的收放驱动机构,收放支撑机构的外端安装有垂直升降器;该固定翼飞机具有展开状态及收纳状态,在展开状态下,所述活动门将收纳空间打开,且垂直升降器在收放支撑机构作用下位于收纳空间之外;在收纳状态下,垂直升降器在收放支撑机构作用下位于收纳空间之内,且所述活动门将收纳空间关闭。

能垂直起降的固定翼飞机的飞行控制方法,在固定翼飞机进行升降或悬停时,活动门打开,收放支撑机构在收放驱动机构的作用下展开,垂直升降器位于收纳空间之外,垂直升降器工作;在固定翼飞机进行高速巡航时,收放支撑机构及垂直升降器在收放驱动机构的作用下置于收纳空间内,活动门关闭,推进器工作。
需要说明的是:
前述的“第一、第二…”不代表具体的数量及顺序,仅仅是用于对名称的区分。
下面对本发明的优点或原理进行说明:
1、在固定翼飞机进行升降或悬停时,活动门打开,收放支撑机构在收放驱动机构的作用下展开,垂直升降器位于收纳空间之外,垂直升降器工作,此时能在垂直方向为飞机提供大的拉力;在固定翼飞机进行高速巡航时,收放支撑机构及垂直升降器在收放驱动机构的作用下置于收纳空间内,活动门关闭,推进器工作,此时可充分的利用固定翼的高气动效率,能效高,航程远。
2、在展开状态下,至少两个所述垂直升降器位于所述机身的两个相反侧,在垂直升降或悬停状态下,垂直升降器从机身两侧为飞机提供提升的拉力,如果只有两个垂直升降器位于机身两侧,则需要推进器采用可倾转的结构来进行俯仰方向的姿态控制。
3、所述收放支撑机构包括第一撑臂,其两端安装有垂直升降器,该结构简单,并且两个垂直升降器分别安装于第一撑臂的两端,可以较好的满足提升时的强度要求。
4、第一撑臂与第二撑臂的中部通过所述铰接轴活动铰接并形成“X”状,该结构具有以下优点:
A、当第一撑臂与第二撑臂互相平行时,第一撑臂及第二撑臂呈收纳状态,第一撑臂与第二撑臂(及安装于第一撑臂与第二撑臂上的垂直升降器)均位于收纳空间内,当第一撑臂与第二撑臂呈一定角度时,两者展开,垂直升降器位于收纳空间外;“X”状的结构方便收纳及展开,结构非常简单;
B、对于第一撑臂与第二撑臂铰接处,其所受的弯折力矩较大,两者相铰接并形成“X”状,可以较好的保证第一撑臂与第二撑臂在铰接处的弯折强度和刚度;
C、第一撑臂与第二撑臂铰接并形成“X”状,在展开时可以形成较大的展开平面,在收纳时占用的空间更小,结构紧凑。
5、第一撑臂、第二撑臂均包括有铰接部及第一端臂、第二端臂,各第一端臂、第二端臂均位于铰接轴的两侧,这样可以保证第一撑臂、第二撑臂在收 纳状态下处于相互平行的状态,避免收纳不彻底而占用过多的空间。
6、由于第一撑臂、第二撑臂均具有相应的厚度,两者相互铰接时,第一撑臂、第二撑臂不可能处于一个绝对的平面,这样会影响到飞机垂直升降时的稳定性;在安装时,所述第一撑臂上的两个所述垂直升降器通过其安装部安装于第一撑臂的下部,所述第二撑臂上的两个所述垂直升降器通过其安装部安装于第二撑臂的上部,这样可以保证四个垂直升降器均位于同一水平面,飞机的稳定性更好。
7、在所述第一撑臂、第二撑臂之间设有限位部,可以通过该限位部对第一撑臂、第二撑臂展开时的位置进行限位,保证飞行运行时的可靠性。
8、在所述第一撑臂、第二撑臂上分别设有第一拨销、第二拨销,收放驱动机构可以作用于第一拨销、第二拨销,由于第一拨销、第二拨销分别位于铰接轴的两个相反侧,第一撑臂相对于第二撑臂反向旋转,进而实现展开或收纳。
9、所述收放驱动机构包括旋转体、滑动体及导向体,旋转体放置时,拨指拨动滑动体移动,由于滑动体相对于导向体滑动配合,滑动体呈水平方向移动,进而通过第一拨销、第二拨销带动第一撑臂、第二撑臂展开或关闭。
10、所述铰接轴包括外轴、内轴,外轴、内轴分别与第一撑臂、第二撑臂固接,内轴,外轴的套接结构受力面更大,并且减少了第一撑臂、第二撑臂之间产生歪斜、扭曲的可能,该结构对于保证铰接处的可靠性至关重要。
11、两个活动门分别位于所述机身的两个相反侧,可以方便收放支撑机构的收纳与展开。
12、前述收纳空间、活动门、收放支撑机构等还可以设置于固定翼上,相对于前述结构(收纳空间、活动门、收放支撑机构等设置于机身上),其原理相同,采用该方案后,还可以为机身留出更多的空间,使结构更紧凑。
13、将收纳空间、活动门、收放支撑机构等还可以设置于固定翼上,可以采用以下两种细化的方案:
A、每侧的固定翼上设置有所述垂直升降器,这样固定翼飞机进行升降或悬停时,其平衡性更好;
B、飞机的两侧各装设有一个所述垂直升降器,此时为提高固定翼飞机进行升降或悬停时平衡性,所述推进器活动的装设于所述机身上,在固定翼飞机进行高速巡航时,推进器作为高速巡航时的推进动力,在固定翼飞机进行升降或悬停时,推进器旋转至轴心竖直,此时推进器提供俯仰姿态控制能力。

本实施例具有如下优点:
1、在固定翼飞机进行升降或悬停时,活动门14打开,收放支撑机构在收放驱动机构30的作用下展开,垂直升降器40位于收纳空间13之外,垂直升降器40工作,此时能在垂直方向为飞机提供大的拉力;在固定翼飞机进行高速巡航时,收放支撑机构及垂直升降器40在收放驱动机构30的作用下置于收纳空间13内,活动门14关闭,推进器12工作,此时可充分的利用固定翼11的高气动效率,能效高,航程远。
2、在展开状态下,四个垂直升降器40位于所述机身10的两个相反侧,在垂直升降或悬停状态下,垂直升降器40从机身10两侧为飞机提供提升的拉 力,稳定性更高。
3、所述收放支撑机构包括第一撑臂21,其两端安装有垂直升降器40,该结构简单,并且两个垂直升降器40分别安装于第一撑臂21的两端,可以较好的满足提升时的强度要求。

9、所述收放驱动机构30包括旋转体31、滑动体32及导向体33,旋转体31放置时,拨指311拨动滑动体32移动,由于滑动体32相对于导向体33滑动配合,滑动体32呈水平方向移动,进而通过第一拨销211、第二拨销221带动第一撑臂21、第二撑臂22展开或关闭。
