技术领域
本发明涉及变形式移动平台,尤其涉及可变形飞行器、移动平台及操作方法。
背景技术
多旋翼飞行器一般包括机身以及由机身周向伸出的多个旋翼结构,每个旋翼结构由机臂与经由机臂支撑的动力组件构成。通常,机身与机臂之间通过如下连接方式连接:第一种为将机臂固连至机身上,也就是说机臂与机身之间位置固定,不可拆卸与收折,此种连接方式会导致整个飞行器体积较大,不便于飞行器收纳携带;第二种为机臂活动式连接至机身上,机臂可相对机身旋转,从而使飞行器在不使用时机臂可以收折至机身周侧或机身上,便于收纳携带,然此种连接方式对于多旋翼飞行器来说,会引入多个可活动的机构,这些活动机构任何一处产生间隙将会引起震动,影响飞行器性能。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
需要说明的是,当组件被称为“固定于”、“安装于”另一个组件,它可以直接在另一个组件上或者也可以存在居中的组件。当一个组件被认为是“设置于”另一个组件,它可以是直接设置在另一个组件上或者可能同时存在居中组件。本文所使用的术语“及/或”包括一个或多个相关的所列项目的所有的和任意的组合。
请参阅图1-12所示,示出了本发明第一种实施方式中的可变形飞行器,所述飞行器10为无人驾驶飞行器、包括机身110以及连接至机身110的多个动力装置120。所述机身110包括至少两个机身部分111,所述至少两个机身部分111之间通过活动式连接机构130相连接,通过所述活动式连接机构130,所述两个机身部分111可以呈现相对收折或展开的状态,并能够在收折与展开两种状态之间切换。所述多个动力装置120为飞行器10提供飞行动力,两个所述机身部分111均连接有所述动力装置120。
具体在本实施方式中,所述动力装置120为四个,所述机身110包括两个机身部分111,其中两个所述动力装置120固连至其中一机身部分111的相对两侧,另外两个所述动力装置120固连至其中另一机身部分111的相对两侧。所述活动式连接机构130为一平行于飞行器10横滚轴设置的滑动式连接机构,通过所述滑动式连接机构,两机身部分111能够沿平行于飞行器10横滚轴的方向相对收折与展开。在收折状态下,两个机身部分111上下对齐叠置, 即其中一个机身部分111对齐叠于另一个机身部分111上;在展开状态下,两机身部分111沿飞行器10横滚轴方向展开,且在飞行器10横滚轴方向,其中一个机身部分111位于另一个机身部分111的上前方。
四个动力装置120在本实施方式中为旋翼结构,每一旋翼结构包括保护罩121、将保护罩121固连至机身部分111的连接部122、连接至保护罩121且向保护罩121中间延伸的机臂123、由机臂123远离保护罩121的一端支撑的动力座124、设置于动力座124内的动力源(如电机,图未示)、以及由动力源带动的螺旋桨125。在本实施方式中,所述机臂123通过保护罩121、连接部122连接至机身部分111上,机臂123由保护罩121支撑,然本发明并不限于此,在另一实施方式中,所述机臂123直接连接至机身部分111上,所述保护罩121设置于所述机臂123上,由所述机臂123支撑,或者,在再一实施方式中,所述机臂123直接连接至机身部分111上,所述保护罩121通过所述连接部122连接至机身部分111上。
在本实施方式中,所述机臂123设置于保护罩121内壁上,然在其他实施方式中,所述机臂123也可以设置于保护罩121的其他位置,例如位于保护罩123的上缘或下缘上。在本实施方式中,四个动力装置120两两为一组,每组设置于一个机身部分111的两侧,其中设置于其中一个机身部分111两侧的动力装置120的螺旋桨125朝上,而设置于另一个机身部分111两侧的动力装置120的螺旋桨125朝下,然在其他实施方式中,四个动力装置120的螺旋桨125可以全部朝上或下,在本实施方式中,所述朝上是指螺旋桨125设置于机臂123上方,所述朝下是指螺旋桨125设置于机臂123下方。或者,处于对角位置的一对动力装置120的螺旋桨125朝向相同,与另外一对处于对角位置的两个动力装置的螺旋桨125朝向相 反;或者每个动力装置120具有两个螺旋桨125,每个动力装置120的动力座124内具有两个动力源,分别驱动一个螺旋桨125,两个螺旋桨125中其中一个朝上,另一个朝下,如此,使飞行器10多了备用动力源与备用螺旋桨。在本实施方式中,所述保护罩121、连接部122、机臂123以及动力座124可通过一体成型制成。
在两个机身部分111叠置后,连接至其中一个机身部分111相对两侧的两个动力装置120亦分别被对齐叠置于连接至另一个机身部分111相对两侧的两个动力装置120之上,如此,使飞行器10在收折状态下整体体积缩小,另,由于仅是两个机身部分111之间为活动式连接,动力装置120与机身部分111之间为固定连接,因此更易于避免机身部分111与动力装置120之间的相对震动,提升飞行器10整体性能。
在本实施方式中,所述活动式连接机构130为一滑动式连接机构,所述滑动式连接机构包括设置于其中一个机身部分111上的滑轨131与设置于另一个机身部分111上的滑块(图未示),具体在本实施方式中,滑轨131设置于其中一个机身部分111的顶面,沿平行于飞行器10横滚轴的方向延伸,滑块设置于另一个机身部分的底面,滑块嵌入滑轨131内并能够在所述滑轨131内滑动。
在一种实施方式中,所述滑块与滑轨131之间采用紧配合,需通过外力才能促使两机身部分111相对滑动,如此无论在收折状态还是展开状态,两机身部分111都能保持在当前位置处,不轻易相互滑动。在一种实施方式中,所述滑轨131为燕尾槽或T型槽,滑块为与之相配的燕尾型或T型,如此也可避免在相互滑动的过程中滑块从滑轨131中脱出,另,在一种实施方式中,所述滑动式连接机构还可包括设置于机身部分111的止挡部,例如滑轨131未贯穿机身部分111的相对两侧壁,又如滑轨131仅在机身部分111的一 侧壁(如前侧壁)上有开口,在相对的另一侧壁(如后侧壁)上未贯穿,如此机身部分111未被滑轨131贯穿的侧壁形成阻止滑块继续往前的止挡部;另,在设有滑块的机身部分111的一侧壁(如前侧壁)上设有朝下的凸块,所述凸块在滑块往后滑动到位后,抵持设置滑轨131的机身部分111的侧壁,阻止滑块继续滑动,如此形成阻止滑块继续往后的止挡部。当然,止挡部的位置与形状并不限于此,止挡部仅需满足限制滑块在滑轨131内滑动,避免滑出滑轨131。
由于上述实例中的滑块与滑轨131之间为紧配合,另还相应设置了止挡部,因此上述实例中的滑动式连接机构同时也构成了一锁止机构,使两部分机身111无论在收折状态还是展开状态均能紧固在一起。在其他实施方式中,所述锁止机构(图未示)还可以通过其他手段来实现,例如,通过在两机身部分111左右侧壁上设置卡扣来实现,在其中一机身部分111的左右侧壁上设置扣部,在另一机身部分111的左右侧壁的对应位置设置勾部,无论是在收折状态还是在展开状态,均可通过卡扣来将两机身部分111紧固在一起。此外,所述锁止机构也可通过螺钉之类来实现。
请参阅图13-图18所示,例举了一具体的活动式连接机构与锁止机构应用于一飞行器机身上的情况。所述机身210包括两个机身部分211,所述两个机身部分211能够相对移动并因此能在一展开状态与一收折状态下切换,其中图13-15为两个机身部分211处于收折状态的示意图,图16-18为两机身部分211处于展开状态的示意图。为清楚所见,图13与图16采用透明画法,另,飞行器的其他部件,例如动力装置以及机身210内部器件等亦省略未画。所述活动式连接机构230包括一滑轨231与滑块232。所述滑轨231为T型,从一机身部分211的一端延伸到相对的另一端,包括一底部 2311与开口部2312。所述滑块232也为T型,从另一机身部分211的一端延伸到相对的另一端,包括一头部2321与一颈部2322,其中头部2321嵌入滑轨231的底部2311内,而颈部2322从滑轨231的开口部2312穿出。在本实施方式中,所述滑轨231的底部2311沿滑轨231延伸的方向呈现空间变狭窄的状态,而所述滑块232的头部2321亦配合滑轨231底部2311,体积由一端至另一端变小。如此,在两机身部分211处于收折状态时,滑块232的头部2321较小端收容于滑轨231底部2311的较小端,滑块232头部2321较大端收容于滑轨231底部2311的较大端,而在将两机身部分211展开的过程中,滑块232头部2321较大端滑动收容至滑轨231底部2311的较小端,从而与滑轨231底部2311较小端之间形成紧配合,如此一方面可以防止在将两机身部分211展开时机身部分211之间滑出,另一方面更有利于两机身部分211在展开到位时相互之间紧固。
所述锁止机构240包括设置于一机身部分211的一卡部241与设置于另一机身部分211的一扣部242。卡部241与扣部242之间配合,在两机身部分211展开到位后,将两机身部分211相互之间锁固。具体在本实施方式中,所述卡部241设置于设有滑轨231的机身部分211上,所述机身部分211上设有一收容腔2111,所述收容腔2111一头连通滑轨231底部2311,另一端在机身部分211上与开设滑轨231相背的顶面上具有开口2112。所述卡部241大部分收容于所述收容腔2111内,包括一弹性装置2411、一卡持件2412与一操作件2413。所述卡持件2412与操作件2413分置于弹性装置2411两端,其中卡持件2412靠近滑轨231底部2311设置,操作件2413一端从开口2112伸出,供用户操作。具体在本实施方式中,所述操作件2413大致中段的位置设有凸块(图未示),所 述收容腔2111临近开口2112的侧壁上亦具有凸块(图未示)。在通常情况下,所述操作件2413的凸块被所述收容腔2111侧壁上的凸块阻挡住,使操作件2413保持在一位置上、操作件2413下端抵压并压缩弹性装置2411,弹性装置2411抵压卡持件2412。
具体在本实施方式中,所述扣部242设置于设有滑块232的机身部分211上,更进一步地,所述扣部242设置于滑块232的头部2321上,所述扣部242为一凹陷2421。在将两机身部分211展开或收折的过程中,所述卡部241及/或扣部242跟随相应机身部分211移动,在两机身部分211展开到位时,所述卡部241对准所述扣部242,所述卡持件2412在弹性装置2411的抵压下一端伸入扣部242,从而将两机身部分211锁固。而需要将卡持件2412退出扣部242,以将两机身部分211收折时,旋转所述操作件2413,使操作件2413上的凸块与收容腔2111侧壁上的凸块错位,使操作件2413可以带动弹性装置2411与卡持件2412退出所述扣部242。而在卡持件2412退出扣部242后,沿滑轨231推动其中一机身部分211,在卡部241与扣部242错位后再将操作件2413利用收容腔2111侧壁上的凸块卡住,如此,在下一次将两机身部分211展开到位时便能再次自动将两机身部分211锁固。
以上仅是列举了一个具体的活动式连接机构与锁止机构,然不难理解,适用于本发明实施方式中飞行器的活动式连接机构与锁止机构还可以有很多的变形,例如,滑轨与滑块可以采用燕尾型,滑块也可以仅是一小段,而非从一机身部分的一端延伸至相对的另一端,另外,也可以不是滑动式连接,而是转动式连接,如一机身部分的一端转动连接至另一机身部分,通过转动将该机身部分收折至另一机身部分上,以及通过转动将该机身部分从另一机身部分上翻转下来以与另一机身部分平行。所述锁止机构也可以设置于滑轨与 滑块其他相配合的面所在的位置,或者避开滑轨与滑块,而设置于两机身部分其他位置,所述锁止机构的卡部与扣部的位置也可相互对调。
请再返回参阅图1-12所示的第一种实施方式,飞行器10在展开后扩充出至少一个收容空间140,所述收容空间140用于装载可用于所述飞行器10的功能模块150。在本实施方式中,所述飞行器10在展开后,扩充出两个收容空间140,分别位于其中一个机身部分111之上与另一个机身部分111之下,在所述两个空间内可分别装载一功能模块150,所述功能模块150在本实施方式中为外部备用电池,在其他实施方式中也可以为传感器、摄像装置等。至少一所述机身部分111上设有连接或卡持所述功能模块150的结构(图未示),使所述功能模块150可以卡接或通过螺钉等连接件固定于机身部分111上。在本实施方式中,每一机身部分111面向其上或其下的收容空间140具有一电接口(图未示),所述电接口用于与功能模块150上的相应电接口相接合,从而使功能模块150与机身部分111内部的线路相连通。在其他实施方式中,每一机身部分111的电接口也可位于朝向收容空间140的其它侧壁上,所述功能模块150的相应部位设有相应电接口,从而使功能模块与机身部分111内部的线路相连通。
此外,在本实施方式中,两机身部分111之间亦具有相配合的电接口(图未示),所述电接口分别设置于其中一个机身部分111的前端与另一个机身部分111的后端,所述电接口在所述飞行器10展开到位后,相互接通,从而使两机身部分111内部的线路相互接通。在本实施方式中,所述两机身部分111中的一个或两个内部置有内部电池,所述两机身部分111中的一个上还设置有开关,所述开关设置于两机身部分111相对滑动的路径上,例如设置于滑 轨131端头的侧壁或底面上,在机身部分111展开到位,滑块132滑到滑轨131端头时,滑块132触压到所述开关,从而使飞行器10开机预热,而在将机身部分111收合,滑块132离开滑轨131端头,从而松开所述开关,使飞行器10关机。
请参阅图19与图20所示,为一例举的飞行器内部电子元器件及电路连接的示意图,所述飞行器的两机身部分311在展开状态下的电路连接如图19所示,在收折状态下的电路连接如图20所示。其中一机身部分311内部设置有影像处理单元312、负载控制器313与电子调速器314,影像处理单元312与负载控制器313、电子调速器314分别相连,其中负载控制器313再与设于机身部分311外侧的拍摄单元315相连,电子调速器314通过连接于该机身部分311的机臂(图未示)连接至设置于该机臂上的动力源(图未示)。另一机身部分311内部设置有飞控单元316与电子调速器317,飞控单元316与电子调速器317相连,电子调速器317通过连接于该机身部分311的机臂(图未示)连接至设置于该机臂上的动力源(图未示)。所述影像处理单元312、负载控制器313、电子调速器314及317、拍摄单元315、飞控单元316的功能与通常飞行器的功能相同或类似,在此不作赘述。所述影像处理单元312、负载控制器313、电子调速器314及317、拍摄单元315、飞控单元316之间的连接及与其他元器件的连接可以采用柔性线路板,也可以采用同轴线缆等。
每一机身部分311上还设有一用于电连接置于收容空间340中的功能模块(图未示)的电接口318、以及连接另一机身部分311内部元器件的电接口319。具体在本实施方式中,电子调速器314、317分别连接至位于同一机身部分311的电接口318、319。在两机身部分311展开到位时,位于两机身部分311的电接口319相耦接, 从而使两机身部分311的电子调速器314、317之间连通,在两电子调速器314、317连通后,所述飞行器自动上电开机。在两机身部分311收折时,两电接口319之间错开,断开两电子调速器314、317之间的连接,在两电子调速器314之间的电连接断开后,所述飞行器自动断电关机。例如,飞控单元316在两电接口319连接后,从所述电子调速器317收到标示两电接口319连接的信号,从而执行飞行器开机的任务,而在从所述电子调速器317收到标示两电接口319断开的信号后,执行飞行器关机的任务。
请参阅图21至图26,示出了本发明第二种实施方式中的可变形飞行器,所述飞行器40包括机身410以及连接至机身410的多个动力装置420。所述机身410包括至少两个机身部分411,所述至少两个机身部分411之间通过活动式连接机构(图未示)相连接,并因此可以呈现收折与展开两种状态。
具体在本实施方式中,所述机身420包括两个机身部分411与四个动力装置420。其中两个动力装置420连接至其中一机身部分411的同一侧,另外,另两个所述动力装置420连接至另外一机身部分411的同一侧,两个机身部分411上连接的所述动力装置420分别位于所述机身420的相背两侧。所述活动式连接机构为一平行于飞行器40俯仰轴设置的滑动式连接机构,通过所述滑动式连接机构,两机身部分411能够沿平行于飞行器40俯仰轴的方向收折与展开。在展开状态下,两机身部分411之间相互对齐叠置,四个动力装置420分置于机身42的两侧,在收折状态下,一机身部分411相对另一机身部分411沿飞行器40俯仰轴的方向滑动,使两机身部分411相对错开,与一机身部分411固连的动力装置420叠置于另一机身部分411之上或之下。
请参阅图27至图32,示出了本发明第三种实施方式中的可变 形飞行器,所述飞行器50包括机身510以及连接至机身510的多个动力装置520。所述机身510包括至少三个机身部分511,所述至少三个机身部分511中的至少两个机身部分511之间通过活动式连接机构(图未示)连接,并因此可以使飞行器50呈现收折与展开两种状态。
具体在本实施方式中,所述机身510包括三个机身部分511与六个动力装置520。每一机身部分511的相背两侧分别连接一动力装置520。其中两个机身部分:第一机身部分511a与第二机身部分511b沿飞行器50横滚轴方向前后排列后、设置于另一机身部分即第三机身部分511c之上,并均能够沿横滚轴相对第三机身部分511c滑动。具体地,所述活动式连接机构为平行于飞行器501横滚轴设置的滑动式连接机构,第一机身部分511a、第二机身部分511b分别与第三机身部分511c之间设置滑动式连接机构,使该第一、第二机身部分511a、511b能够相对另一机身部分511c沿横滚轴滑动,从而使飞行器50在收折与展开两种状态下切换。在收折状态下,第一、第二机身部分511a、511b互相靠拢排列于第三机身部分511c上;而连接至三机身部分511a、511b、511c的动力装置520,在垂直于飞行器50航向轴的方向上位于不同的平面,从而使收折状态下,连接至三机身部分511a、511b、511c的动力装置520相互叠置或部分叠置,进一步缩小飞行器50整体的体积。在展开状态下,位于上方的第一、第二机身部分511a、511b相背远离,从而在第一、第二机身部分511a、511b之间以及第三机身部分511c之上,扩展出一收容空间540,此收容空间540能够用于收容一功能模块(图未示)。
请参阅图33-35,示出了本发明第四种实施方式中的可变形飞行器,所述飞行器60包括机身610以及连接至机身610的多个动 力装置620。所述机身610包括至少两个机身部分611,所述至少两个机身部分611之间通过活动式连接机构630连接,并因此可以使飞行器60呈现收折与展开两种状态。
具体在本实施方式中,所述机身610包括两个机身部分611与四个动力装置620,两机身部分611沿飞行器60的横滚轴方向前后排列,每两个动力装置620连接至一机身部分611的相对两侧。所述活动式连接机构630为滑动式连接机构,其数量具体为四个,其中两个所述活动式连接机构630沿平行于飞行器60横滚轴方向设置于机身610一侧,另外两个所述活动式连接机构630沿平行于飞行器60横滚轴方向设置于机身610相背的另一侧,每一所述滑动式连接机构630包括设置于其中一机身部分611侧壁的滑轨631、与设置于另一机身部分611相邻侧壁的滑块632。滑轨631沿飞行器60横滚轴方向延伸,滑块632朝向滑轨631伸出,且一端嵌入滑轨631内,通过沿平行于飞行器60横滚轴方向滑动滑块632,使两机身部分611沿飞行器60横滚轴方向展开或靠拢,从而使飞行器60展开或收折。在本实施方式中,无论是展开状态还是收折状态,两机身部分611均位于同一平面上,仅是在该平面上两机身部分611距离的远近变化,同时,连接至每一机身部分611的动力装置620亦与连接至另一机身部分611的动力装置620位于同一平面上,在收折状态与展开状态下切换时也仅是动力装置620间在同一平面上距离的远近变化。在展开状态下,两机身部分611之间扩展出一收容空间640,所述收容空间用于收容一功能模块650,例如一外部电池。
请参阅图36至图38,示出了本发明第五种实施方式的可变形飞行器,所述飞行器70包括机身710与连接至机身710的多个动力装置(图未示)。所述机身710包括至少两个机身部分711,所 述至少两个机身部分711之间通过活动式连接机构730相连接,并因此可以呈现收折与展开两种状态。
具体在本实施方式中,所述机身710包括两个机身部分711,所述活动式连接机构730为转动式连接机构,通过所述转动式连接机构,其中一机身部分711可从叠置于另一机身部分711上挪移到在飞行器70横滚轴或俯仰轴方向平行于另一机身部分711,从而从收折状态切换至展开状态。所述转动式连接机构730在本实施方式中具体为四个,每一转动式连接机构730包括一连杆731与设置于连杆731两端的转轴732,其中一转轴732安装于其中一机身部分711的一侧壁上,另一转轴732安装于另一机身部分711相邻的侧壁上,在将一机身部分711相对另一机身部分挪移的过程中,连杆731绕两转轴732转动,使机身部分711能沿一条弯曲路径挪移到另一机身部分711上或从另一机身部分711上挪下来。具体在本实施方式中,在收折状态下,两机身部分711上下对齐叠置,而在展开状态,两机身部分711沿飞行器70横滚轴或俯仰轴平行展开。在一种方式中,在收折状态下,连接至两机身部分711的动力装置亦上下对齐叠置或部分叠置;而在展开状态下,连接至两机身部分711的动力装置相互沿水平方向平行设置。在另一种方式中,在收折状态下,连接至两机身部分711的动力装置分置于机身710的相背两侧,也就是说,连接至其中一机身部分711的动力装置设置于机身710的一侧,连接至另一机身部分711的动力装置设置于机身710的相背的另一侧,亦即,在两机身部分711相叠的收折状态下,连接至其中一个机身部分711的动力装置并不与连接至另一个机身部分711的动力装置相叠或部分相叠;而在展开状态下,连接至两机身部分711的动力装置相互沿水平方向平行设置。
请参阅图39至图44,示出了本发明第六种实施方式中的可变 形飞行器,所述飞行器80包括一机身810与多个动力装置820,所述机身810包括至少两个机身部分811,所述至少两个机身部分811之间通过活动式连接机构(图未示)连接,并因此可以使飞行器80呈现收折与展开两种状态。

一些方案中,无论机身在收折状态下还是展开状态下,所述第一动力装置包含至少一部分位于一第一平面上,所述第二动力装置包含至少一部分位于一平行于第一平面的第二平面上。所述机身收 折的过程中,所述第一、第二动力装置之间的水平距离变短,而垂直距离不变。在所述机身收折或展开的过程中,所述第一及/或第二动力装置可沿所述飞行器横滚轴或俯仰轴移动。具体请见第一、二、三、六、七种实施方式。
