For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, one embodiment involves a flight module, which includes a main shaft 200, a first rotor 300 rotatably disposed on the main shaft 200, a second rotor 400 rotatably disposed on the main shaft 200 and spaced apart from the first rotor 300 along the axial direction of the main shaft 200, a swash plate mechanism 100 disposed on the main shaft 200 and located between the first rotor 300 and the second rotor 400, and a driving mechanism 500 for driving the swash plate mechanism 100 to move.
[0035] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the swash plate mechanism 100 includes a main transmission member 110 , a spherical bearing 140 , a first slave transmission member 120 and a second slave transmission member 130 .
[0036] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the main transmission member 110 is provided with a mounting hole 113 .
[0037] Specifically, a mounting hole 113 is provided at the center of the main transmission member 110 , and the mounting hole 113 is a through hole.
[0038] The spherical bearing 140 is disposed in the mounting hole 113 . The spherical bearing 140 is used for the main shaft 200 to pass through. When the main shaft 200 passes through the spherical bearing 140 , it also passes through the mounting hole 113 .
[0039] More specifically, the swash plate mechanism 100 further includes a retaining ring 180, which is fixed to the main transmission member 110 and is located at the end of the mounting hole 113. The inner wall of the mounting hole 113 forms a limiting step. The spherical bearing 140 is disposed in the mounting hole 113 and is clamped by the limiting step and the retaining ring 180. The main shaft 200 is penetrated by the spherical bearing 140 and passes through the mounting hole 113. In this way, the main transmission member 110 is connected to the main shaft 200 through the spherical bearing 140, and the main transmission member 110 can be tilted relative to the main shaft 200.
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, more specifically, the main transmission member 110 is connected to the driving mechanism 500 via a first connecting rod 510. The driving mechanism 500 is fixedly disposed on the main shaft 200, and is used to drive the main transmission member 110 to tilt relative to the main shaft 200 via the first connecting rod 510.
[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the first slave transmission member 120 is rotatably mounted outside the main transmission member 110 and can rotate around the axis of the mounting hole 113. Figure 2 , the first slave transmission member 120 is connected to the first rotor 300 .
[0042] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, the first slave transmission member 120 is connected to the first rotor 300 through the second connecting rod 310. During the flight of the aircraft, the first rotor 300 rotates around the main shaft 200, and the first rotor 300 can drive the first slave transmission member 120 to rotate relative to the main transmission member 110 through the second connecting rod 310. When the driving mechanism 500 drives the main transmission member 110 to tilt relative to the main shaft 200, the main transmission member 110 can drive the first slave transmission member 120 to tilt, and then the angle of attack of the first rotor 300 is changed through the second connecting rod 310.
[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the second slave transmission member 130 is rotatably mounted outside the main transmission member 110 and is arranged along the axial direction of the mounting hole 113 with the first slave transmission member 120. The second slave transmission member 130 can rotate around the axis of the mounting hole 113. Figure 2 The second slave transmission member 130 is used to connect with the second rotor 400 .
[0044] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 Specifically, the second slave transmission member 130 is located on a side of the first slave transmission member 120 close to the second rotor 400, and the second slave transmission member 130 is connected to the second rotor 400 through the third connecting rod 410. During the flight of the aircraft, the second rotor 400 rotates around the main shaft 200, and the second rotor 400 can drive the second slave transmission member 130 to rotate relative to the main transmission member 110 through the third connecting rod 410. When the driving mechanism 500 drives the main transmission member 110 to tilt relative to the main shaft 200, the main transmission member 110 can drive the second slave transmission member 130 to tilt, and then the angle of attack of the second rotor 400 is changed through the third connecting rod 410.
[0045] In the above-mentioned flight module, when the main transmission member 110 is tilted under the control of the driving mechanism 500, the main transmission member 110 can drive the first slave transmission member 120 and the second slave transmission member 130 to tilt together with the main transmission member 110. When the first slave transmission member 120 and the second slave transmission member 130 are tilted, they can respectively change the angle of attack of the first rotor 300 and the second rotor 400. In this way, the flight direction of the aircraft can be changed.
[0046] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 In addition, in the above-mentioned swash plate mechanism 100, the first slave transmission member 120 for controlling the angle of attack of the first rotor 300 and the second slave transmission member 130 for controlling the angle of attack of the second rotor 400 are integrated together through the main transmission member 110 and the spherical bearing 140, which greatly simplifies the structure. Compared with the traditional solution, the swash plate for controlling the first rotor 300 and the swash plate for controlling the second rotor 400 are separately arranged, and the two swash plates are connected together by a connecting rod mechanism, which reduces the precision requirements of the installation, simplifies the debugging process, and improves the control precision (in the traditional solution, the two swash plates are connected by a connecting rod mechanism, which is not conducive to the control of precision). Furthermore, in the present application, the first slave transmission component 120 for controlling the angle of attack of the first rotor 300 and the second slave transmission component 130 for controlling the angle of attack of the second rotor 400 are integrated together through the main transmission component 110 and the joint bearing 140, so that the structure of the aircraft can be made more compact, thereby reducing the distance from the first rotor 300 and / or the second rotor 400 to the center of mass of the aircraft, thereby reducing the aerodynamic interference torque of the first rotor 300 and / or the second rotor 400, and improving the flight stability of the aircraft.
[0047] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the main transmission member 110 includes a mounting portion 111 having a mounting hole 113 and a plurality of first connection portions 112 arranged around the mounting portion 111, and the plurality of first connection portions 112 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mounting hole 113; wherein each first connection portion 112 is used to be connected to a driving mechanism 500 capable of driving the main transmission member 110 to tilt, and the driving mechanism 500 is used to drive the plurality of first connection portions 112 to operate, thereby changing the tilt angle of the entire main transmission member 110.
[0048] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the mounting portion 111 is columnar, the mounting hole 113 is opened on the mounting portion 111, and the axis of the mounting hole 113 is colinear with the axis of the mounting portion 111, and the plurality of first connecting portions 112 are all arranged on the outer wall of the mounting portion 111, and the plurality of first connecting portions 112 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mounting hole 113. Figure 3 The driving mechanism 500 includes a plurality of driving members 501 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the main shaft 200 , one driving member 501 corresponds to one first connecting portion 112 , and the plurality of driving members 501 cooperate to control the tilt angle of the main transmission member 110 .
[0049] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 More specifically, the driving member 501 is a servo, each driving member 501 is connected to each first connecting portion 112 via a first connecting rod 510 , and multiple driving members 501 cooperatively control the tilt angle of the main transmission member 110 via multiple first connecting rods 510 .
[0050] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 Specifically, in this embodiment, there are three driving members 501, which are evenly and spaced apart along the circumference of the main shaft 200, and the angle between each two adjacent driving members 501 is 120°. There are also three first connecting parts 112, which are evenly and spaced apart along the circumference of the mounting hole 113, and the angle between each two adjacent first connecting parts 112 is 120°. In this way, the tilt angle of the main transmission member 110 can be more accurately controlled by the three driving members 501.
[0051] Furthermore, the flight module also includes a mounting tube 600 , which is fixedly mounted outside the main shaft 200 , and the plurality of driving components 501 are all fixed on the mounting tube 600 .
[0052] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the first slave transmission member 120 includes a first assembly ring 121 and a plurality of second connection portions 122 arranged along the circumference of the first assembly ring 121. The first assembly ring 121 is rotatably sleeved outside the mounting portion 111, and the first assembly ring 121 is coaxially arranged with the mounting hole 113. Figure 2 The second connecting part 122 is connected to the first rotor 300 . When the main transmission member 110 tilts relative to the main shaft 200 , the main transmission member 110 drives the first slave transmission member 120 to tilt, so that the angle of attack of the first rotor 300 changes under the drive of the second connecting part 122 .
[0053] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, specifically, there are two second connecting parts 122, and the two second connecting parts 122 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first assembly ring 121, and the angle between the two first connecting parts 112 is 180°, and each second connecting part 122 is connected to the first rotor 300 through a second connecting rod 310. When the first slave transmission member 120 is tilted under the drive of the main transmission member 110, the first slave transmission member 120 can drive the first rotor 300 to tilt through the second connecting rod 310, so that the angle of attack of the first rotor 300 is changed.
[0054] Furthermore, a first installation gap is formed between the inner wall of the first assembly ring 121 and the outer wall of the mounting portion 111; the swash plate mechanism 100 further includes a first bearing 150, which is disposed in the first installation gap. The first bearing 150 can ensure that the first slave transmission member 120 rotates stably relative to the main transmission member 110, so that when the first rotor 300 rotates, the first rotor 300 can smoothly drive the first slave transmission member 120 to rotate, preventing the first slave transmission member 120 from affecting flight due to the large friction between the first slave transmission member 120 and the main transmission member 110.
[0055] Specifically in this embodiment, the first bearing 150 is a deep groove ball bearing.
[0056] Furthermore, the inner and outer sides of the first bearing 150 respectively abut against the outer wall of the mounting portion 111 and the inner wall of the first assembly ring 121, so that the first slave transmission member 120 can be connected to the main transmission member 110 under the action of the first bearing 150, and when the main transmission member 110 is tilted, it can drive the first slave transmission member 120 to tilt accordingly.
[0057] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, further, the second slave transmission member 130 includes a second assembly ring 131 and a plurality of third connection portions 132 arranged along the circumference of the second assembly ring 131. The second assembly ring 131 is rotatably sleeved outside the mounting portion 111, and the second assembly ring 131 is coaxially arranged with the mounting hole 113. Figure 2 The third connection part 132 is connected to the second rotor 400 . When the main transmission member 110 tilts relative to the main shaft 200 , the main transmission member 110 drives the second slave transmission member 130 to tilt, so that the angle of attack of the second rotor 400 changes under the drive of the third connection part 132 .
[0058] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, specifically, there are four third connecting parts 132, and the four third connecting parts 132 are all fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second assembly ring 131, and the angle between each two adjacent third connecting parts 132 is 90°, and each third connecting part 132 is connected to the second rotor 400 through a third connecting rod 410. When the second slave transmission member 130 is driven by the main transmission member 110 to tilt, the second slave transmission member 130 can drive the second rotor 400 to tilt through the third connecting rod 410, so that the angle of attack of the second rotor 400 is changed.
[0059] Furthermore, a second installation gap is formed between the inner wall of the second assembly ring 131 and the outer wall of the mounting portion 111; the swash plate mechanism 100 further includes a second bearing 160, which is disposed in the second installation gap. The second bearing 160 can ensure that the second slave transmission member 130 rotates stably relative to the main transmission member 110, so that when the second rotor 400 rotates, the second rotor 400 can smoothly drive the second slave transmission member 130 to rotate, thereby preventing the second slave transmission member 130 from affecting the flight due to the large friction between the second slave transmission member 130 and the main transmission member 110.
[0060] Specifically in this embodiment, the second bearing 160 is a deep groove ball bearing.
[0061] Furthermore, the inner and outer sides of the second bearing 160 respectively abut against the outer wall of the mounting portion 111 and the inner wall of the second assembly ring 131, so that the second slave transmission member 130 can be connected to the main transmission member 110 under the action of the second bearing 160, and when the main transmission member 110 is tilted, it can drive the second slave transmission member 130 to tilt accordingly.
[0062] Furthermore, the tilting plate mechanism 100 also includes a top ring 170, which is fixedly mounted outside the mounting portion 111, and the two ends of the top ring 170 are respectively against the first bearing 150 and the second bearing 160. The top ring 170 is used to achieve the positioning of the first bearing 150 and the second bearing 160, and to separate the first bearing 150 from the second bearing 160.
[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, the second bearing 160 and the first bearing 150 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the mounting hole 113, the inner and outer sides of the first bearing 150 respectively abut against the outer side wall of the mounting portion 111 and the inner wall of the first assembly ring 121, and the inner and outer sides of the second bearing 160 also respectively abut against the outer side wall of the mounting portion 111 and the inner wall of the second assembly ring 131, one end of the second bearing 160 away from the first bearing 150 abuts against the flange of the outer wall of the mounting portion 111, and the other end abuts against the top ring 170, and the end of the first bearing 150 close to the second bearing 160 abuts against the end of the top ring 170 away from the first bearing 150. In this way, the first slave transmission member 120 and the second slave transmission member 130 can be limited with the main transmission member 110 under the action of the first bearing 150 and the second bearing 160, respectively, so that when the main transmission member 110 is tilted, the first slave transmission member 120 and the second slave transmission member 130 can be tilted accordingly.
[0064] An embodiment also relates to an aircraft, comprising the flight module described above.
[0065] Wherein, the aircraft may be an unmanned helicopter.
[0066] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the above-mentioned aircraft, when the main transmission member 110 is controlled by the driving mechanism 500 to tilt, the main transmission member 110 can drive the first slave transmission member 120 and the second slave transmission member 130 to tilt together with the main transmission member 110, and the first slave transmission member 120 and the second slave transmission member 130 can respectively change the angle of attack of the first rotor 300 and the second rotor 400 when tilting. In this way, the flight direction of the aircraft can be changed.
[0067] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3In addition, the above-mentioned aircraft utilizes the above-mentioned swash plate mechanism 100. In the above-mentioned swash plate mechanism 100, the first slave transmission member 120 for controlling the angle of attack of the first rotor 300 and the second slave transmission member 130 for controlling the angle of attack of the second rotor 400 are integrated together through the main transmission member 110 and the joint bearing 140, which greatly simplifies the structure. Compared with the traditional solution, the swash plate for controlling the first rotor 300 and the swash plate for controlling the second rotor 400 are separately arranged, and the two swash plates are connected together by a connecting rod mechanism, which reduces the precision requirements of the installation, simplifies the debugging process, and improves the control precision (the two swash plates in the traditional solution are connected by a connecting rod mechanism, and the connecting rod mechanism is not conducive to the control of precision). Furthermore, in the present application, the first slave transmission component 120 for controlling the angle of attack of the first rotor 300 and the second slave transmission component 130 for controlling the angle of attack of the second rotor 400 are integrated together through the main transmission component 110 and the joint bearing 140, so that the structure of the aircraft can be made more compact, thereby reducing the distance from the first rotor 300 and / or the second rotor 400 to the center of mass of the aircraft, thereby reducing the aerodynamic interference torque of the first rotor 300 and / or the second rotor 400, and improving the flight stability of the aircraft.
