Vertical takeoff and landing aerial vehicle and cooling system
A vertical takeoff and landing aerial vehicle and a cooling system for the aerial vehicle. Heat dissipation in an arm of an aerial vehicle is achieved by installing a fan in a hollow interior of each of a left linear support and a right linear support of the aerial vehicle, thereby achieving the purposes of lowering temperature in the arm and protecting equipment in the arm.
1. A vertical takeoff and landing unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising: a left main wing and a right main wing; a left front wing and a right front wing; a main body which is engaged with the left main wing and the right main wing; a left linear support for connecting the left main wing with the left front wing; a right linear support for connecting the right main wing with the right front wing; the left linear support having a first group of multiple lift propellers arranged thereon; the right linear support having a second group of multiple lift propellers arranged thereon; wherein the left linear support and the right linear support each have a hollow interior; at least one air inlet which is provided on each of the left linear support and the right linear support; at least one air outlet which is provided on each of the left linear support and the right linear support; and a fan which is arranged in the hollow interior of each of the left linear support and the right linear support; and wherein a rotating shaft of the fan is perpendicular to a rotating shaft of each lift propeller in the first and second groups of multiple lift propellers, wherein the air inlets are located at front ends of the left linear support and the right linear support, and the air outlets are located at rear ends of the left linear support and the right linear support; wherein the two ends of each of the left linear support and the right linear support are formed as a tapered structure and said air inlets each has an oblong shape, length-wise directions of the air inlets are provided along a generatrix of the tapered structure.
2. The vertical takeoff and landing unmanned aerial vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the fan is arranged at a position proximate to the front end of each of the left linear support and the right linear support.
3. The vertical takeoff and landing unmanned aerial vehicle according to claim 2 , further comprising a plurality of motors which are arranged in the hollow interiors.
4. The vertical takeoff and landing unmanned aerial vehicle according to claim 3 , wherein a diameter or width of each air inlet in the at least one air inlet is less than a radius of each of the left linear support and the right linear support.
5. The vertical takeoff and landing unmanned aerial vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising a detachable pod attached to the bottom face of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
6. The vertical takeoff and landing unmanned aerial vehicle according to claim 5 , wherein the pod is a passenger pod or a cargo pod.
7. The vertical takeoff and landing unmanned aerial vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one propulsion propeller arranged on the unmanned aerial vehicle.
8. A cooling system for an unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising: a hollow linear support; a plurality of lift propellers which are arranged on the linear support; a plurality of motors for driving the lift propellers, wherein each motor is used for driving one lift propeller, and the plurality of motors are arranged in the linear support; at least one air inlet which is provided on the linear support; at least one air outlet which is provided on the linear support; a fan which is arranged in the linear support to supply air from an external environment to an interior of the hollow linear support; wherein a diameter or width of each air inlet in the at least one air inlet is less than a radius of the linear support; wherein a rotating shaft of the fan is perpendicular to a rotating shaft of each lift propeller in the plurality of lift propellers, wherein the at least one air inlet is provided at a position proximate to a front end of the linear support; wherein the at least one air outlet is provided at a position proximate to a rear end of the linear support; wherein the two ends of the linear support are formed as a tapered structure and said at least one air inlet has an oblong shape, length-wise direction of the at least one air inlet is provided along a generatrix of the tapered structure.
9. The cooling system for the unmanned aerial vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein the fan is arranged at a position proximate to the front end of the linear support.
10. The cooling system for the unmanned aerial vehicle according to claim 9 , wherein the linear support is in a straight configuration.
