However, the adopted technology has the following defects that the root of the rudder in the folding rudder needs enough thickness space to install the lock pin, and the aerodynamic resistance of the control surface can be obviously increased. The structure is complex, and the lock pin mechanism needs to be additionally provided with limiting mechanisms such as a shearing screw rod and the like.

The outer rudders 1 are restrained by the same locking and unlocking device, so that the number of the locking and unlocking devices is reduced, and the unfolding synchronization performance of the rudder wings is improved.
The working principle of the folding rudder 11 of the aircraft provided by the application is as follows:
the folding rudder 11 mounting process: the torsion bar 4 penetrates into the sleeve shaft 3 and is matched and fixed with the sleeve shaft 3 through the cylindrical pin 8; the lower part of the outer rudder 1 is matched with the upper part of the inner rudder 2, the positioning hole piece 2b, the rotating shaft hole piece 1a, the mounting hole piece 2a and the lock pin hole piece 1b are sequentially butted, the axes are aligned, a sleeve shaft 3 assembly provided with a torsion bar 4 is penetrated through the lock pin hole piece 1b until a positioning surface 3e of the sleeve shaft 3 is contacted with the closed end of the positioning hole piece 2b, and four set screws 9 are fixed to limit the axial displacement of the sleeve shaft 3; the locking pin 5, the locking spring and the plug 7 sequentially penetrate through the torsion bar 4 and are installed in the locking pin hole 1b1 of the outer rudder 1, when the locking pin 5 is assembled in the locking pin hole piece 1b, the unlocking hole 5c is aligned with the U-shaped groove 1d, and at the moment, the clamping groove 5b of the locking pin 5 and the clamping convex 3d of the sleeve shaft 3 are mutually embedded and locked, and the locking device is shown in fig. 3; and finally, the plug 7 is rotated by a certain angle through the straight slot 7b at the rear end of the plug 7, the round hole of the plug 7 and the round hole 4a of the torsion bar are aligned with the threaded hole 1e at the rear end of the outer rudder 1, the three are fixed at the same time by screwing the screw 10, and the setting position of the threaded hole 1e in the circumferential direction of the locking pin hole piece 1b determines the rotation angle of the torsion bar 4, so that the initial pretightening moment of the torsion bar 4 can be controlled.
The folding rudder 11 unlocking and locking device restraining process: the tool is used for poking the unlocking hole 5c on the locking pin 5 through the U-shaped groove 1d at the outer rudder 1 to push the locking pin 5 to the direction of the compression spring 6 (the compression amount of the compression spring 6 is larger than the length of the clamping groove 5 b), so that the clamping groove 5b of the locking pin 5 is withdrawn from the clamping protrusion 3d on the sleeve shaft 3, and then the outer rudder 1 is manually folded to the locking position. The limit rods 13 are mounted to the corresponding positions of the grid wings 12. At this time, the outer rudder 1 is restrained in a folded state by the limiting rod 13, the torsion bar 4 is elastically deformed by torsion, elastic potential energy is stored, the locking pin 5 rotates together with the outer rudder 1, and finally, the locking pin is limited by the end face of the sleeve shaft 3, see fig. 4.
After the control system sends an unlocking instruction, the explosion bolts 14 work to separate the grid wings 12 and the limiting rods 13 arranged on the grid wings 12, and the four groups of outer rudders 1 start to be unfolded synchronously, so that the unfolding synchronism is good. During the deployment of the rudder 1, the locking mechanism is brought into synchronous rotation, and at the same time the locking pin 5 starts to move along the axis of rotation in the direction of the quill 3 under the action of the compression spring 6. After the outer rudder 1 is unfolded in place, the outer rudder 1 collides with the limiting plate 2c to be limited, so that the outer rudder 1 is prevented from continuing to move forwards under the action of inertia force after being unfolded in place, and the unfolding precision and the unfolding time of the outer rudder 1 are improved. Under the action of the initial pre-tightening force of the torsion bar 4, the outer rudder 1 is always subjected to torque in the unfolding direction. After the outer rudder 1 and the inner rudder 2 are unfolded in place, the locking pin 5 is pushed by a spring, the clamping groove 5b of the locking pin is embedded into the clamping protrusion 3d at the rear end of the sleeve shaft 3, reliable locking of the inner rudder 2 and the outer rudder 1 is achieved, and the locking pin has a self-locking function and provides aerodynamic lift for an aircraft.
