Radio control flying toy

Abstract

There is disclosed a radio control flying toy in which an airframe can be easily floated and a running direction can be easily controlled. The toy is provided with: an airframe 11 formed into a rectangular plate shape having a flat bottom surface on a lower side; first to fourth propellers 16a, 16b, 16c, and 16d which are disposed in four corners forming at least a quadrangular shape on the lower side of the airframe 11 and which feed air toward a bottom-surface side to float the airframe 11; first to fourth driving means 17a, 17b, 17c, and 17d which drive the first to fourth propellers 16a, 16b, 16c, and 16d, respectively; a control unit 20 which individually controls driving outputs of the first to fourth driving means 17a, 17b, 17c, and 17d, respectively; a transmitter 30 for transmitting a control signal for flight from the outside to the control unit 20; and a battery 21 which supplies power to the first to fourth driving means 17a, 17b, 17c, and 17d and the control unit 20.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a radio control flying toy which can feed air to an airframe on a bottom-surface side to float the airframe along a flat running plane, thereby freely flying the airframe. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Heretofore, Hovercraft (trade name), an air cushion vehicle or the like has been generally known as a ground effect machine or a vehicle which travels utilizing a lift force of an air cushion contained between a bottom surface of an airframe and a running surface such as a ground or water surface on a lower side, or ground effects of wings. As a toy which travels under remote control utilizing a principle of such ground effect machine, the present applicant discloses a technology concerning an air cushion toy in which a skirt portion formed into an expandable / contractible bag shape is attached to a lower peripheral edge of a main body, and air is sucked from the outsi...

Benefits of technology

[0006] The present invention has been developed in view of the above-described situations, and an object thereof is to provide a radio control flying toy capable of easily floating an airframe and simply controlling a running direction.

[0007] To achieve the above-described object, according to the present invention, there is provided a radio control flying toy comprising: an airframe formed into a rectangular plate shape and having a bottom surface which is flat on a lower side; first to fourth propellers which are disposed in four corners forming at least a quadrangular shape on the lower side of the airframe and which feed air to a bottom-surface side to float the airframe; first to fourth driving means for driving the first to fourth propellers, respectively; a control unit which individually controls driving outputs of the first to fourth driving means, respectively; a transmitter which transmits a control signal for flight from the outside to the control unit; and a battery which supplies power to the first to fourth driving means and the control unit. The transmitter transmits the control signal for flight to the control unit, and the control unit individually controls the driving outputs of the first to fourth driving means to change rotation speeds of the first to fourth propellers. Accordingly, the airframe can be easily floated, and the running direction can be easily controlled.

[0008] In the present invention, the airframe is constituted of an upper main body which contains the control unit and the battery and a lower main body disposed under the upper main body and formed into a rectangular plate shape, attaching holes are made in positions of the four corners forming the quadrangular shape of the lower main body, and the first to fourth propellers are disposed in the attaching holes. The first to fourth propellers can be easily disposed in the attaching holes made in positions of the four corners of the lower main body forming the quadrangular shape.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, a large driving power supply is required for driving the blower for flying or propelling, and there is a fear that power consumption increases and flight for a long time cannot be performed.
