AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This new design allows for better performance on both types of flight without burning up any parts or causing damage due to high pressure levels from atmospheric conditions such as rain or snow. It also improves safety by reducing vibrations caused by turbulence and noise generated while navigating through rough waters compared to traditional designs where multiple separate motors are needed. Additionally, there's no heavier load placed upon the vehicle itself but instead only its own wheels. Overall, these technical features improve efficiency, mobility, stability, and ease of operation over existing systems.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patented text relating to how to design an autopilot system for water or land vehicles (such as drones) without adding too much weight and complexity due to their high rotational speeds.

Abstract

The invention discloses an amphibious power propulsion device suitable for sea and air, comprising a frame type retainer, a tilting motor, a power motor fixedly arranged at the middle part of the retainer, as well as propellers for air and propellers for sea, which are coaxially and rotatably arranged at a certain interval, wherein the propellers for air are in driving connection with the power motor through a unidirectional rotation mechanism, the propellers for sea are in driving connection with the power motor, a rotating shaft of the tilting motor is fixed at the outer side of the retainer through a connecting plate, and the rotating axis of the tilting motor is perpendicular to the rotating axis of the propellers for air and the propellers for sea. The invention also provides an amphibious multi-axis aircraft suitable for sea and air. According to the amphibious power propulsion device and the amphibious multi-axis aircraft, the same motor is adopted to simultaneously adapt to two different working environments, namely in the air and under the water, thereby reducing the weight of the amphibious aircraft for sea and air and simplifying the structure of the aircraft; and meanwhile, the tilting motor is used for controlling the direction of power output, thereby increasing the maneuverability of the amphibious aircraft and strengthening the capability of the amphibious aircraft for finishing complex tasks.
