Patent Application
20220380045
The application relates to the technical field of aircraft, in particular to a combination UAV.
The existing fixed wing UAV is not convenient for low-altitude flight reconnaissance in cities or mountainous areas with complex environment. The rotor UAV is simple to operate and flexible in flight route for flight reconnaissance in complex terrains. However, due to space constraints, the flight time of the multi-rotor UAV is less than that of the fixed wing UAV, which requires pilots to take off nearby and cannot operate from a long distance.
The application aims to provide a combination UAV to solve the problems that the fixed wing UAV in the prior art is not convenient for low-altitude flight reconnaissance in cities or mountainous areas with complex environment, and the rotor UAV needs to take off nearby.
In order to achieve this purpose, the application adopts the following technical solution:
A combination UAV, comprising:
The carrying part is provided with a holding tank, and the plurality of the rotor UAVs are arranged in the holding tank.
The plurality of limiting elements are arranged in the holding tank, and the plurality of limiting elements are used to limit the positions of the plurality of rotor UAVs one by one.
The tail of the fixed wing UAV is provided with an air flow guide.
A speed sensor is arranged on one side of the wing of the fixed wing UAV close to the nose.
A power supply is arranged on the fixed wing UAV, and the plurality of the rotor UAVs are electrically connected with the power supply.
The fixed wing UAV is provided with a leg.
A roller is arranged on the leg.
Both the first communication component and the second communication component are relay modules.
The beneficial effects of the application: a carrying part is arranged on the fixed wing UAV, and a plurality of rotor UAVs are arranged on the carrying part. In this way, a first communication component can communicate with the plurality of second communication components. When working in long-distance regions with complex surroundings, it can fly to a designated position through the fixed wing UAV, and then release the plurality of rotor UAVs, which may conduct reconnaissance operations on one or more targets in one area at the same time, and can also operate on multiple targets in multiple areas, and transmit signal commands in real time through the first communication component and the second communication component, thereby solving the problems that a single fixed wing UAV in the prior art is not convenient for low altitude reconnaissance in cities or mountainous areas with complex environment, and it needs to limit the take-off location.

In the application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the first feature “on” or “under” the second feature may include the direct contact between the first and second features, or the contact between the first and second features that is not direct contact, but through another feature between them. Moreover, the first feature “on”, “over”, and “above” the second feature may include the first feature directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or only indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than the second feature. The first feature “under”, “below” and “beneath” the second feature, may include the first feature directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or only indicate that the horizontal height of the first feature is smaller than that of the second feature.
As shown in
Specifically, the carrying part is protrudingly provided with a plurality of snap-on protrusions, the upper part of the plurality of rotor UAVs 2 is provided with a buckle, the plurality of rotor UAVs 2 are connected to the plurality of snap-on protrusions one by one through the buckle, and the plurality of rotor UAVs 2 can be released by control during operation.
A holding tank can also be provided in the carrying part of the fixed wing UAV 1, and the plurality of rotor UAVs 2 are arranged in the holding tank. Further, the plurality of limiting elements are arranged in the holding tank, and the plurality of limit elements are used to limit the position of the plurality of rotor UAVs 2 one by one. The plurality of rotor UAVs 2 do not interfere with each other. During operation, the plurality of rotor UAVs 2 are controlled to fly out of the holding tank.
The tail of the fixed wing UAV 1 is rotatably provided with an air flow guide 11, and the flight direction of the fixed wing UAV 1 can be controlled by controlling the rotation angle of the air flow guide 11.
A speed sensor 12 is arranged on the side of the wing of the fixed wing UAV 1 close to the nose, which can detect the flight speed of the fixed wing UAV 1 in real time and feed it back to the control system.
The fixed wing UAV 1 is provided with a power supply, and the plurality of rotor UAVs 2 can be electrically connected with the power supply. The power supply can provide power for the fixed wing UAV 1. At the same time, when the plurality of rotor UAVs 2 are mounted on the fixed wing UAV 1, they can also be charged through the power supply.
The fixed wing UAV 1 is provided with a leg 13 to prevent fuselage wear during take-off and landing. Further, the leg 13 are provided with roller 131 to buffer the fixed wing UAV 1 during take-off and landing. Further, the plurality of rotor UAVs 2 are rotationally provided with supports, which can be retracted during mounting and expanded when releasing for work by controlling.
In this embodiment, the first communication component and the second communication component are relay modules. In other embodiments, the first communication component and the second communication component can also adopt data transmission, and there is no excessive restriction here.
The specific usage of the combination UAV of this embodiment is shown in
S1. The fixed wing UAV 1 carries a plurality of rotor UAVs 2 for taking off from position A;
S2. After the fixed wing UAV 1 flies around the mountains or buildings to the designated point position B (high altitude), it releases one or more rotor UAVs 2 below through the control system to make the rotor UAVs 2 reach position C, position D, position E, etc. to carry out reconnaissance operations on different targets;
S3. The fixed wing UAV 1 hovers at high altitude and transmits signal commands in real time through the first communication component and the second communication component to communicate with the plurality of rotor UAVs 2 and play a relay role.
