Abstract:
Objective To design a search and rescue UAV that is portable and user-friendly in order to meet the needs of rescue personnel on the battlefield.Methods Three-dimensional design software CATIA was used to complete the structural design of the UAV body.In order to make full use of the internal space of the UAV body,folding wings were adopted to reduce the volume of the UAV.By using ABAQUS,the finite elements of the key parts of the UAV were analyzed before the modal analysis of the whole vehicle was conducted to verify the reliability of the structure.The robot simulation software Webots was used for motion simulation of the UAV.Results Simulation analysis and test verification suggested that the structural design of the UAV was well-grounded.It could be quickly and properly deployed by means of hand launch or barrels,which made it easier for rescuers to use the UAV.Conclusion The design and simulation research of UAVs with portable folding wings for search and rescue is of great significance for the research and development of physical prototypes.This study is expected to stimulate new ideas for the development of rescue equipment in the PLA,and contribute to miniaturization of UAVs.
