Multiple power units can achieve safety redundancy, and the power difference can be used to adjust the flight attitude.

The head 21 may extend away from the machine head 21 .
通常,机翼10可以包括多个机翼支承构件,例如纵向支承构件和横向支承构件等,这些支承构件具有期望的强度和刚度。作为较佳实施例,机翼支承构件可以由诸如碳纤维预浸料之类的复合材料制成。例如,可以将碳纤维预浸料按照铺贴方向铺贴,并且,在常温固化后按照机翼支承构件最终形状进行机械加工制成。另外,机翼10可以包括相应的蒙皮结构,蒙皮例如也可以由诸如碳纤维材料之类的复合材料制成,并且可以按照本领域已知的方式包覆固定到机翼支承构件。Generally, the wing 10 may include a plurality of wing support members, such as longitudinal support members, transverse support members, etc., having desired strength and stiffness. As a preferred embodiment, the wing support members may be made from composite materials such as carbon fiber prepreg. For example, carbon fiber prepreg can be laid according to the laying direction, and after curing at room temperature, it can be machined according to the final shape of the wing support member. Additionally, the wing 10 may include a corresponding skin structure, which may also be made of a composite material such as a carbon fiber material, for example, and may be clad and fixed to the wing support members in a manner known in the art.
虽然本文将机翼10分成了多个翼段来描述,但是应当理解,这仅是为了便于阐述本发明的原理,这些翼段仍然形成完整的机翼10的整体,以便承受相应的气动载荷,保证飞机的飞行安全。Although the wing 10 is divided into multiple wing segments for description herein, it should be understood that this is only for the convenience of explaining the principles of the present invention. These wing segments still form the complete wing 10 as a whole in order to withstand corresponding aerodynamic loads. Ensure the flight safety of the aircraft.
根据本发明并且作为较佳实施例,机翼10是集成有分布式涵道风扇的机翼,例如机翼10可以设有涵道风扇动力组30。较佳地,涵道风扇动力组30可以设置在机身20两侧的内段翼11上,即,设置在机翼10的靠近机身20的翼段上。例如,每个内段翼11的上方可以集成有一个涵道风扇动力组30。涵道风扇动力组30可以布置在机翼10的上方以与机翼10成整体。例如,涵道风扇动力组30的壳体的下部固定地连接到机翼10的机翼支承构件,而涵道风扇动力组30的壳体的侧部和上部可以包覆有蒙皮,例如该蒙皮可以与机翼10的其他位置的蒙皮相似。According to the present invention and as a preferred embodiment, the wing 10 is a wing integrated with a distributed ducted fan, for example, the wing 10 may be provided with a ducted fan power group 30. Preferably, the ducted fan power group 30 may be arranged on the inner section wings 11 on both sides of the fuselage 20, that is, on the wing section of the wing 10 close to the fuselage 20. For example, a ducted fan power group 30 may be integrated above each inner section wing 11. The ducted fan power group 30 may be arranged above the wing 10 to be integrated with the wing 10. For example, the lower part of the shell of the ducted fan power group 30 is fixedly connected to the wing support member of the wing 10, and the side and upper part of the shell of the ducted fan power group 30 may be covered with a skin, for example, the skin may be similar to the skin at other positions of the wing 10.
另外,较佳地,各部分蒙皮之间的过渡是平滑的,使得涵道风扇动力组30布置成与机翼10之间的连接形成平滑连接,并且在涵道风扇动力组30与机翼10之间无间隔缝隙。通过“分布式涵道风扇-机翼-机身”融合设计的先进气动布局形式,能够利用涵道风扇的抽吸作用,进一步减小飞机的飞行 阻力,提高其升阻比。In addition, preferably, the transition between each partial skin is smooth, so that the ducted fan power unit 30 is arranged to form a smooth connection with the wing 10, and the connection between the ducted fan power unit 30 and the wing is There is no gap between 10. Through the advanced aerodynamic layout of the "distributed ducted fan-wing-fuselage" integrated design, the suction effect of the ducted fan can be used to further reduce the flight speed of the aircraft. resistance and improve its lift-to-drag ratio.
较佳地,两侧的涵道风扇动力组30可以关于机身20对称地布置在两侧的机翼10上。Preferably, the ducted fan power units 30 on both sides can be arranged symmetrically on the wings 10 on both sides with respect to the fuselage 20 .
作为非限制性实施例,每个涵道风扇动力组30可以包括至少两个涵道动力单元,例如附图中示出的每个涵道风扇动力组30包括5个涵道动力单元,从而电动飞机100可以包括10个涵道动力单元。应当理解,附图中示出的涵道动力单元的数量和布置方式仅是示意性的,本领域技术人员可以设想其余的数量和布置方式。涵道风扇动力组30及涵道动力单元的具体结构将在下文中参照附图进一步详细描述。As a non-limiting example, each ducted fan power group 30 may include at least two ducted power units. For example, each ducted fan power group 30 shown in the drawings includes 5 ducted power units, thereby electrically Aircraft 100 may include 10 ducted power units. It should be understood that the number and arrangement of ducted power units shown in the drawings are only illustrative, and those skilled in the art can envision other numbers and arrangements. The specific structures of the ducted fan power group 30 and the ducted power unit will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
图3是本发明根据本发明的非限制性实施例的涵道风扇动力单元的中心截面的剖视示意图。3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a center section of a ducted fan power unit according to a non-limiting embodiment of the present invention.
如图所示,内段翼11可以包括内段翼襟翼11A。内段翼襟翼11A可以是活动部件,用于在电动飞机100起飞或降落时起到增升效果,并且内段翼襟翼11A可以是机翼上表面吹气襟翼的形式。作为示例,内段翼襟翼11A可以通过运动机构(附图中未详细示出,但是其作动器和连接机构的形式是本领域已知的)与机翼10(即,主翼)的内段翼11的后部连接,使得内段翼襟翼11A能够在第一伸出位置和第一缩回位置之间移动。As shown, the inner wing 11 may include an inner wing flap 11A. The inner wing flap 11A may be a movable component used to increase lift when the electric aircraft 100 takes off or lands, and the inner wing flap 11A may be in the form of an air-blown flap on the upper surface of the wing. As an example, the inner section wing flap 11A can be connected to the inner section of the wing 10 (ie, the main wing) through a kinematic mechanism (not shown in detail in the drawings, but the form of its actuator and connection mechanism is known in the art). The rear portion of the wing segment 11 is connected such that the inner segment wing flap 11A can move between a first extended position and a first retracted position.
例如,在电动飞机100起飞或降落时,内段翼襟翼11A可以相对于内段翼11处于第一伸出位置中,即,图3中示出的位置。此时,内段翼襟翼11A相对于内段翼11伸出(例如,图3中示出的向后下方伸出),使得内段翼襟翼11A的前缘紧接或者紧靠涵道风扇动力组30的后缘(或者,涵道排气口的后缘)布置。换言之,此时,在内段翼襟翼11A的前缘与涵道风扇动力组30的后缘之间不存在间隙。For example, when the electric aircraft 100 takes off or lands, the inner wing flap 11A may be in a first extended position relative to the inner wing 11, that is, the position shown in FIG3 . At this time, the inner wing flap 11A is extended relative to the inner wing 11 (for example, extended backward and downward as shown in FIG3 ), so that the leading edge of the inner wing flap 11A is arranged in close contact with or close to the trailing edge of the ducted fan power group 30 (or, the trailing edge of the ducted exhaust port). In other words, at this time, there is no gap between the leading edge of the inner wing flap 11A and the trailing edge of the ducted fan power group 30.
这样,涵道风扇喷射出的气流在科恩达效应的作用下沿内段翼襟翼11A的上表面流动,产生低压区,而偏转的内段翼襟翼11A的下翼面阻碍气体流动,在内段翼襟翼11A的下翼面(下表面)形成高压区,两者综合作用,起到增升效果。In this way, the air flow ejected by the ducted fan flows along the upper surface of the inner wing flap 11A under the action of the Coanda effect, creating a low pressure area, while the deflected lower surface of the inner wing flap 11A blocks the flow of air, and The lower wing surface (lower surface) of the inner wing flap 11A forms a high-pressure area, and the combined effect of the two creates a lift-increasing effect.
在电动飞机100完成起飞或降落后,内段翼襟翼11A可以相对于内段翼11处于第一缩回位置,例如通过运动机构相对于内段翼11缩回。此时,内段 翼襟翼11A可以叠置在内段翼11下方。After the electric aircraft 100 completes takeoff or landing, the inner wing flap 11A may be in a first retracted position relative to the inner wing 11 , for example, retracted relative to the inner wing 11 through a motion mechanism. At this time, the inner section Wing flaps 11A may be stacked below the inner section wing 11 .
较佳地,在第一缩回位置中,内段翼襟翼11A与内段翼11可以共同形成平滑的流线型轮廓,即,内段翼襟翼11A与内段翼11形成完整的该机翼段的外形轮廓。Preferably, in the first retracted position, the inner wing flaps 11A and the inner wing 11 can jointly form a smooth streamlined profile, that is, the inner wing flaps 11A and the inner wing 11 form a complete wing. The outline of the segment.
具体地并且作为较佳实施例,内段翼11可以包括设置在其后缘的襟翼容纳部11B,襟翼容纳部11B可以具有凹入的下表面。相应地,内段翼襟翼11A可以具有凸起的上表面,并且该凸起的上表面的形状可以与襟翼容纳部11B的凹入的下表面配合,使得内段翼襟翼11A在位于第一缩回位置时能够完全缩回到襟翼容纳部11B中,并且与内段翼11形成完整的翼面轮廓。Specifically and as a preferred embodiment, the inner section wing 11 may include a flap receiving portion 11B provided at its trailing edge, and the flap receiving portion 11B may have a concave lower surface. Correspondingly, the inner wing flap 11A may have a convex upper surface, and the shape of the convex upper surface may cooperate with the concave lower surface of the flap receiving portion 11B, so that the inner wing flap 11A is located In the first retracted position, it can be completely retracted into the flap receiving portion 11B and form a complete airfoil profile with the inner wing section 11 .
在附图的实施例中,内段翼襟翼11A叠置在内段翼11下方可以是指内段翼襟翼11A完全接纳在襟翼容纳部11B中,即,内段翼襟翼11A的后缘与内段翼11的后缘大致对齐,并且此时,它们的后缘也与涵道风扇动力组30的后缘大致对齐。In the embodiment of the drawings, the inner wing flap 11A being stacked below the inner wing flap 11 may mean that the inner wing flap 11A is completely received in the flap receiving portion 11B, that is, the inner wing flap 11A is The trailing edges are generally aligned with the trailing edges of the inner section wings 11 , and at this time, their trailing edges are also generally aligned with the trailing edges of the ducted fan power pack 30 .
作为较佳实施例,内段翼襟翼11A在第一伸出位置与第一缩回位置之间的移动可以遵循圆弧形的移动路径。例如,内段翼襟翼11A在伸出或缩回时的偏转的方式是绕其下部的某一虚拟圆心点做圆周运动。此时,凹入的下表面和凸起的上表面各自形成为配合时能互补的圆弧形轮廓,该圆弧形轮廓是标准圆形的一部分。As a preferred embodiment, the movement of the inner wing flap 11A between the first extended position and the first retracted position may follow an arc-shaped movement path. For example, the inner section wing flap 11A deflects in a circular motion around a certain virtual center point at its lower part when extended or retracted. At this time, the concave lower surface and the convex upper surface each form an arc-shaped profile that is complementary when mated, and the arc-shaped profile is a part of a standard circle.
另外,在电动飞机起飞和降落时,内段翼襟翼11A偏转的角度可以不同。作为非限制性实施例,在起飞构型中,内段翼襟翼11A的偏转角度例如可以为16°,而在降落构型中,内段翼襟翼11A的偏转角度可以为32°。In addition, when the electric aircraft takes off and lands, the deflection angle of the inner wing flap 11A can be different. As a non-limiting example, in the take-off configuration, the deflection angle of the inner wing flap 11A may be, for example, 16°, and in the landing configuration, the deflection angle of the inner wing flap 11A may be 32°.
作为较佳实施例,在机身20的每一侧上,内段翼襟翼11A在第一方向A上的长度与涵道风扇动力组30的长度相同。As a preferred embodiment, on each side of the fuselage 20 , the length of the inner wing flap 11A in the first direction A is the same as the length of the ducted fan power unit 30 .
在本文中并且如图2中详细示出的,第一方向A可以是机翼10的纵向方向,即翼展方向;第二方向B可以是从机头到机尾的方向,即,沿着涵道风扇的气流的方向,而第三方向C可以是与第一方向A和第二方向B正交的竖直向上的方向。As used herein and as shown in detail in FIG. 2 , the first direction A may be the longitudinal direction of the wing 10 , that is, the span direction; the second direction B may be the direction from the nose to the tail, that is, along The direction of the air flow of the ducted fan, and the third direction C may be a vertical upward direction orthogonal to the first direction A and the second direction B.
继续参照图1和图2,内段翼11可以包括内段翼前缘11C和内段翼后缘11D。在本发明的实施例中,内段翼前缘11C可以采用较大后掠角,以此保证 较大的根弦长。有利的是,较大的根弦长也可以提供足够的布置空间,以用于布置相应的电池等。Continuing to refer to FIGS. 1 and 2 , the inner wing 11 may include an inner wing leading edge 11C and an inner wing trailing edge 11D. In the embodiment of the present invention, the inner wing leading edge 11C can adopt a larger sweep angle to ensure that Larger root chord length. Advantageously, a larger root chord length can also provide sufficient arrangement space for arranging corresponding batteries and the like.
具体的,在该实施例中,内段翼11的内段翼前缘11C的第一后掠角可以在25°-35°的范围内,较佳地,第一后掠角为30°,而内段翼11的内段翼后缘11D的第二后掠角可以小于5°,较佳地,第二后掠角为0°。Specifically, in this embodiment, the first sweep angle of the inner wing leading edge 11C of the inner wing 11 can be in the range of 25°-35°. Preferably, the first sweep angle is 30°. The second sweep angle of the inner wing trailing edge 11D of the inner wing 11 may be less than 5°. Preferably, the second sweep angle is 0°.
另外,如上所述,机翼10还包括设置在内段翼11外侧的外段翼12。外段翼12可以包括外段翼襟翼12B。外段翼襟翼12B是在电动飞机100起飞或降落时起到增升效果的部件。例如,外段翼襟翼12B可以采用富勒襟翼的形式。In addition, as mentioned above, the wing 10 also includes an outer wing 12 arranged outside the inner wing 11 . Outer wing 12 may include outer wing flaps 12B. The outer wing flap 12B is a component that increases lift when the electric aircraft 100 takes off or lands. For example, outer segment wing flaps 12B may take the form of Fuller flaps.
同样地,外段翼襟翼12B可以是活动部件,并且能够相对于外段翼12往复移动。例如,外段翼襟翼12B借助运动机构(附图中未详细示出,但是其作动器和连接机构的形式是本领域已知的)连接到外段翼12,并且相对于外段翼12在第二伸出位置和第二缩回位置之间移动。Likewise, the outer wing flap 12B may be a movable component and capable of reciprocating movement relative to the outer wing 12 . For example, the outer wing flap 12B is connected to the outer wing 12 by means of a kinematic mechanism (not shown in detail in the drawings, but the form of the actuator and connection mechanism is known in the art), and relative to the outer wing 12 moves between a second extended position and a second retracted position.
例如,在电动飞机100起飞或降落时,外段翼襟翼12B可以借助运动机构向后伸出并偏转到第二伸出位置中。此时,外段翼襟翼12B延伸超出外段翼12的后缘,以增加机翼10的升力。For example, when the electric aircraft 100 takes off or lands, the outer wing flaps 12B can be extended rearwardly and deflected into the second extended position by means of a kinematic mechanism. At this time, the outer wing flap 12B extends beyond the trailing edge of the outer wing 12 to increase the lift of the wing 10 .
在在电动飞机100完成起飞或降落后,外段翼襟翼12B可以借助运动机构返回到第二缩回位置中。此时,外段翼襟翼12B可以叠置在外段翼12下方或缩回到外段翼12内部的容纳空间中,以便与主翼组合形成完整的机翼部段,并具有期望的空气动力学轮廓。After the electric aircraft 100 completes takeoff or landing, the outer wing flap 12B can be returned to the second retracted position by means of a kinematic mechanism. At this time, the outer wing flaps 12B can be stacked under the outer wing 12 or retracted into the accommodation space inside the outer wing 12 so as to be combined with the main wing to form a complete wing segment with desired aerodynamics. contour.
如图1和2所示并且作为本发明的非限制性实施例,机翼10的外段翼12可以采用较小的后掠角,以便在飞行时提供较大的升力,延缓流动分离,也可以避免较大的低头力矩。具体的,在该实施例中,外段翼12的外段翼前缘12A的第三后掠角可以在15°-25°的范围内,较佳地,第三后掠角为20°。As shown in Figures 1 and 2 and as a non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, the outer section wing 12 of the wing 10 can adopt a smaller sweep angle to provide greater lift during flight, delay flow separation, and also Large lowering moments can be avoided. Specifically, in this embodiment, the third sweep angle of the outer wing leading edge 12A of the outer wing 12 may be in the range of 15°-25°. Preferably, the third sweep angle is 20°.
另外,如图所示,机翼10还包括附连到外段翼12的副翼12C。副翼12C可以在靠近翼尖小翼13的位置处设置在外段翼12的后缘。副翼12C是产生滚转力矩的主要部件,当电动飞机100需要滚转机动时,机身20两侧的副翼12C可以向相反的方向偏转,两侧升力的不对称可以产生滚转力矩。Additionally, as shown, wing 10 also includes ailerons 12C attached to outer wing section 12 . The aileron 12C may be provided on the trailing edge of the outer wing 12 at a position close to the winglet 13 . The ailerons 12C are the main components that generate rolling torque. When the electric aircraft 100 needs to roll, the ailerons 12C on both sides of the fuselage 20 can deflect in opposite directions, and the asymmetry of the lift on both sides can generate a rolling moment.
这样,内段翼11的内段翼前缘11C的第一后掠角与外段翼12的外段翼 前缘12A的第三后掠角不同,从而在内段翼11和外段翼12的连接位置处形成拐折点,使得分离的气流不影响涵道风扇动力组30和副翼12C的效率。In this way, the first sweep angle of the inner wing leading edge 11C of the inner wing 11 is consistent with the outer wing wing 12 of the outer wing. The third sweep angle of the leading edge 12A is different, thereby forming an inflection point at the connection position of the inner wing 11 and the outer wing 12 so that the separated airflow does not affect the efficiency of the ducted fan power unit 30 and the aileron 12C.
进一步较佳地,机翼10还可以包括设置在外段翼12外侧的翼尖小翼(或称翼梢小翼)13。例如,翼尖小翼12可以位于机翼10的最外侧,主要用于减小翼尖涡流动,减小诱导阻力。在该实施例中,翼尖小翼12可以采用融合式翼尖(或翼稍)小翼。Further preferably, the wing 10 may also include a winglet (or winglet) 13 arranged outside the outer wing segment 12 . For example, the winglet 12 may be located at the outermost side of the wing 10 and is mainly used to reduce the wingtip vortex flow and reduce induced drag. In this embodiment, the winglets 12 may be fused winglets (or winglets).

The motor 33 may be located inside the propeller hub 35 , and the drive shaft (or output shaft) of the motor 33 may be securely connected to the propeller 32 .
