The helicopter is a typical dual-purpose product for both military and civilian use, which can be widely used in transportation, patrol, tourism, rescue and other fields.

[0003] The helicopter engine drives the rotor to provide lift, which holds the helicopter in the air. Specifically, the helicopter is divided into single-rotor helicopters and double-rotor helicopters; the main engine of the single-rotor helicopter also outputs power to the small propeller at the tail, and the on-board gyroscope can detect the helicopter turning angle and feed back to the tail propeller, so that the counterforce under different speeds generated by the large propeller can be offset by adjusting the pitch of the small propeller. The double-rotor helicopter usually adopts the way of opposite rotation of the rotors to offset the unbalanced moment generated by the rotors.

[0004] Currently, the flight direction of the helicopter is adjusted by a mechanism called "tilt disc", which can change the blade angle of the rotor of the helicopter, so as to realize the cyclic pitch change of the rotor and change the lift of the rotor in different directions to realize the change of the flight attitude of the helicopter.

[0006] The technical solution disclosed in the patent document has the following defects: 1. In the technical solution, the lower rotor plays a role in controlling the direction, and the Bell-Hill control structure with high sensitivity is used for active control; but according to the description in the patent document and the related description in the specification, the connection structure of the Bell-Hill control structure and the lower rotor is quite complex, with many components, which will have the defects of high failure rate, time-consuming and tedious assembly, and high cost; 2. When the Bell-Hill control structure fails, the purpose of controlling the direction cannot be achieved by controlling the lower rotor, which will make the aircraft out of control, and there is a great safety hazard, which will threaten the safety of life. Figure 8 to Figure 10 According to the description in the patent document and the related description in the specification, the connection structure of the Bell-Hill control structure and the lower rotor is quite complex, with many components, which will have the defects of high failure rate, time-consuming and tedious assembly, and high cost; 2.

Implementation

[0077] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0078] like Figures 1 to 22 As shown, a self-stabilizing flight device includes a frame 1 and a support column 2. A rotor assembly 3 and a counterweight assembly 4 are mounted on the support column 2. The rotor assembly 3 is connected above the support column 2, and the counterweight assembly 4 is connected below the support column 2. The frame 1 is movably connected between the rotor assembly 3 and the counterweight assembly 4 via a movable component 5.

[0079] The active component 5 has three structural forms, and the composition of different structures will be described in different embodiments below. The active component 5 enables the rotor assembly 3 to tilt forward and backward and yaw left and right relative to the frame 1 in order to control the flight attitude of the self-stabilizing flight device. Example 1

[0080] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a self-stable flying device comprises a frame body 1 and a support column 2, the support column 2 is provided with a rotor assembly 3 and a counterweight assembly 4, the middle part of the support column 2 is connected to the frame body 1 through a movable assembly 5.

[0081] Specifically, the frame body 1 is provided with the movable assembly 5, which is combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the movable assembly 5 comprises a base 501, the base 501 is provided with a shaft body 502 rotatingly, the left and right ends of the shaft body 502 are rotatingly connected to the base 501 through bearings, so that the shaft body 502 can be inclined forward and backward relative to the base 501; the middle part of the shaft body 502 is provided with a mounting hole 5021, the width of the mounting hole 5021 is greater than the diameter of the support column 2, when the support column 2 is inserted into the mounting hole 5021, a pin is inserted into a pin hole 5022 at the front end of the shaft body 502 until it penetrates the support column 2, so that the support column 2 can be rotatingly connected in the mounting hole 5021, thereby allowing the support column 2 to be deflected left and right relative to the mounting hole 5021.

[0082] The frame body 1 is provided with a mounting column 101, the base 501 is fixed to the mounting column 101; the mounting column 101 is sleeved with a buffer spring 102, the buffer spring 102 is located below the base 501, and a nut 103 is screwed on the top of the mounting column 101; the nut 103 can limit the base 501 from jumping out, and lock the base 501 on the frame body 1, and the buffer spring 102 can buffer the components connected to the base 501; the support column 2 and the rotor assembly 3 are connected to the base 501, when the flying device lands, the base 501 will have inertia to fall further, at this time, the buffer spring 102 will buffer the base 501 to avoid damage.

[0083] Therefore, through the arrangement of the movable assembly 5, the support column 2 can be inclined forward and backward and deflected left and right relative to the frame body 1; since the rotor assembly 3 is connected above the support column 2, the purpose of the support column 2 being inclined forward and backward and deflected left and right is to control the rotation plane of the rotor assembly 3, thereby controlling the flying device to realize vertical take-off and landing or fly in different directions.

[0084] In the first embodiment, the rotor assembly 3 is a power rotor 301, when there are multiple power rotors 301, the multiple power rotors 301 are coaxially connected to the support column 2; at this time, the shaft of the power rotor 301 is hollow (i.e. the support column 2 is hollow), which is convenient for arranging the power supply line of the power rotor 301.

[0085] In the first embodiment, the counterweight assembly 4 comprises a storage box 401 and a rudder control mechanism, the storage box 401 can store articles or carry people, the lower end of the support column 2 is connected to the storage box 401, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the steering engine control mechanism 402 includes a first steering engine 4021, a second steering engine 4022, and a steering engine fixing rod 4023, the first steering engine 4021 is fixed on the frame body 1, the rotating shaft of the first steering engine 4021 is connected with one end of a first connecting rod 4024, the other end of the first connecting rod 4024 is connected with the lower end of a second connecting rod 4025, the upper end of the second connecting rod 4025 is connected with the second steering engine 4022; the rotating shaft of the second steering engine 4022 is connected with one end of a third connecting rod 4026, the other end of the third connecting rod 4026 is connected with the lower end of a fourth connecting rod 4027, the upper end of the fourth connecting rod 4027 is connected with the storage box 401.

[0086] In combination Figure 2 As can be seen, the layout of the first steering engine 4021 and the second steering engine 4022 is perpendicular to each other, the rotation of the rotating shaft of the first steering engine 4021 will drive the second connecting rod 4025 to move forward and backward, that is, drive the second steering engine 4022 to move forward and backward, and the rotation of the rotating shaft of the second steering engine 4022 will drive the fourth connecting rod 4027 to move left and right, since the storage box 401 is connected to the top end of the fourth connecting rod 4027, then under the cooperation of the first steering engine 4021 and the second steering engine 4022, the swinging of the storage box 401 will drive the support column 2 to tilt forward and backward or deflect left and right; in this embodiment, the storage box 401 is driven to move in four directions by the two steering engine control mechanisms.

[0087] The connection part of the top end of the fourth connecting rod 4027 and the storage box 401 has a certain up and down movement space, that is, the top end of the fourth connecting rod 4027 can move up and down relative to the storage box 401 to compensate for the height difference of the storage box 401 when swinging; the steering engine fixing rod 4023 supports the second steering engine 4022, one end of the steering engine fixing rod 4023 is hinged to the frame body 1, the other end is connected with the second steering engine 4022, and the steering engine fixing rod 4023 will rotate with the rotation of the second steering engine 4022; similarly, the connection part of the end of the steering engine fixing rod 4023 and the second steering engine 4022 has a certain transverse movement space, that is, the end of the steering engine fixing rod 4023 is movably inserted into the second steering engine 4022 to compensate for the position difference between the second steering engine 4022 and the steering engine fixing rod 4023 when swinging.

[0088] The frame body 1 further includes a storage table 8, as shown Figure 5 The storage table 8 is hinged to the fourth connecting piece 9, the fourth connecting piece 9 is hinged to the connecting column 10, and the connecting column 10 is connected to the frame body 1; through the intermediate transition of the hinged connection of the fourth connecting piece 9, the frame body 1 can always keep the storage table 8 in a horizontal state no matter how it tilts, and this storage table 8 can be used to place the electric control system, the camera or other valuable items, and is not easy to tilt and fall.

[0089] The frame 1 is equipped with a battery 15 and an electronic speed controller 16. The battery 15 is used to supply power to the electrical equipment, and the electronic speed controller 16 is used to control the rotational speed of the powered rotor 301. Example 2

[0090] like Figure 6 The figure shown is a perspective view of the self-stabilizing flight device described in Embodiment 2. The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that, in addition to the powered rotor 301, the rotor assembly 3 also includes an autorotor 302. The purpose of this design is that the airflow generated when the powered rotor 301 rotates will drive the autorotor 302 to rotate. When the powered rotor 301 malfunctions during flight, the flight device will fall due to loss of lift. At this time, the blades in the autorotor 302 will rotate under the action of the upward airflow. This rotation will generate lift, preventing the flight device from falling rapidly. This ensures high safety and helps protect lives. Example 3

[0091] like Figure 7 The figure shown is a perspective view of the self-stabilizing flight device described in Embodiment 3. The difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 1 is that, based on Embodiment 1, a power rotor 301 with a ring and regularly distributed around the support column 2 is added. This structure can enhance the lift and flight speed. Example 4

[0092] like Figure 8 as well as Figure 9 The figure shown is a perspective view of the self-stabilizing flight device described in Embodiment 4. In this embodiment, the power rotor 301 is regularly distributed around the support column 2, and a seat is provided in the frame 1 for the operator to sit on. The key difference between this embodiment and the above embodiments is that the structure of the counterweight component 4 is different.

The joint bearing is a prior art, which will not be described here. Embodiment five

[0094] As shown in Figure 10 , it is a perspective view of the self-stabilizing flying device according to embodiment five; the difference between embodiment five and embodiment four is that there are both power rotors 301 regularly distributed around the strut 2 and power rotors 301 coaxially arranged on the strut 2, and the dynamic performance is better; in addition, there are also autorotors 302, the function of which is described in embodiment two, and the safety is better.

[0095] As shown in Figure 11 , it is a perspective view of the self-stabilizing flying device according to embodiment six; the rotor assembly 3 is an autorotor 302, and the inclination angle of the autorotor 302 is also controlled by the counterweight assembly 4 (in this embodiment, the counterweight assembly 4 is in the fuselage); it comprises a propeller 6, which provides forward power for the self-stabilizing flying device, and the propeller 6 adopts a motor plus propeller structure or an internal combustion engine plus propeller structure; this embodiment has the same take-off principle as the ordinary autorotor, that is, the inclination angle of the autorotor 302 is controlled by the counterweight assembly 4, which is different from the conventional control mode; a tail fin 7 is arranged at the tail end of the frame body 1, which can balance the airflow; further, a rudder is arranged on the tail fin 7 for adjusting the flight direction; in this embodiment, a pre-rotation device 14 is arranged, which is used to drive the autorotor 302 to rotate at low speed first; the pre-rotation device 14 is a prior art, which will not be described here. Embodiment seven

[0096] As shown in Figure 12The diagram shown is a perspective view of the self-stabilizing flight device described in Embodiment 7. The difference between Embodiment 7 and Embodiment 6 is that a powered rotor 301 and an autorotor 302 are coaxially arranged. There are two powered rotors 301, one located above the autorotor 302 and the other located below the autorotor 302. The two powered rotors 301 will result in stronger lift. The purpose of the autorotor 302 is that when the powered rotor 301 fails, it will still generate lift under the action of the autorotor 302, preventing the flight device from falling rapidly, thus ensuring high safety and protecting lives. When a single powered rotor 301 is installed on the support column 2, a tail rotor is required to balance the torque of the single powered rotor 301 and control the heading. Example 8

[0097] like Figure 13 The figure shown is a perspective view of the self-stabilizing flight device described in Embodiment 8. In this embodiment, the rotor assembly 3 includes a powered rotor 301 and an autorotator 302, which have the advantages of both. It also has a wing 13. After the thruster 6 is started, it pushes the flight device forward. The wing 13 can be used to generate lift when moving forward. Example 9

[0098] like Figure 14 The figure shown is a perspective view of the self-stabilizing flight device described in Embodiment Nine. Compared with Embodiment Eight, Embodiment Nine does not have wings 13 and thrusters 6. It relies entirely on the power rotor 301 to generate lift, and the direction is controlled by adjusting the rotation plane of the power rotor 301 through the counterweight assembly 4.

[0099] Figure 15is a structural schematic diagram of the counterweight assembly in Embodiment Six to Embodiment Nine; the lower end of the support column 2 is connected with the upper end of the second connecting rod 417, the lower end of the second connecting rod 417 is connected with the second counterweight 419, wherein the second counterweight 419 is a battery, the second counterweight 419 is connected with the third connecting rod 420, the upper part of the third connecting rod 420 is provided with the seat 421; further comprising the mounting rod 422 and the fourth connecting rod 423, the steering disc 418 is connected on the mounting rod 422; the third connecting rod 420 is provided with the third joint bearing 424, the seat 421 is provided with the fourth joint bearing 425, the lower end of the fourth connecting rod 423 is connected with the third joint bearing 424, the middle part of the fourth connecting rod 423 is connected with the fourth joint bearing 425, the upper end of the fourth connecting rod 423 is connected with the mounting rod 422. Wherein the end of the mounting rod 422 connected with the frame body 1 is a freedom degree with up, down, left and right movements, when the operator sits on the seat 421 and holds the steering disc 418, the fourth connecting rod 423 is controlled to swing through the up, down, left and right swinging of the steering disc 418, under the action of the third joint bearing 424 and the fourth joint bearing 425, the purpose of controlling the swing of the support column 2 is finally achieved, so as to control the change of the rotating plane of the rotor assembly 3 and achieve the purpose of controlling the flight direction. Embodiment Ten

[0100] As Figure 16 shown is a perspective view of the self-stable flight device in Embodiment Ten; in this embodiment, the frame body 1 is in the form of a bicycle, the difference between this embodiment and the above-mentioned other embodiments is that the counterweight assembly 4 comprises the first connecting rod 412 and the seat cushion 413, the lower end of the support column 2 is connected with the upper end of the first connecting rod 412, the lower end of the first connecting rod 412 is connected with the seat cushion 413; the lower part of the seat cushion 413 is connected with the reset spring 414; the structure is similar to the structure of a bicycle, a person sits on the seat cushion 413 and holds the handle, the swing of the seat cushion 413 is controlled through the swing of the buttocks, so as to drive the support column 2 to swing through the first connecting rod 412, and the purpose of controlling the rotating plane of the rotor assembly 3 is achieved.

[0101] The upper end of the reset spring 414 is connected with the seat cushion 413, the lower end of the reset spring 414 is connected with the frame body 1, when a person leaves the flight device, the reset spring 414 will pull the seat cushion 413 to be normal, that is, the support column 2 and the rotor assembly 3 are pulled to be normal, waiting for the next use.

[0102] As one variation of this embodiment, the rotor assembly 3, in addition to having a powered rotor 301 (which is coaxially connected to the support column 2 and regularly distributed around the support column 2), also includes an autorotor 302, which has stronger lift. Also, because of the autorotor 302, when the powered rotor 301 fails, lift will still be generated under the action of the autorotor 302, so that the flight device will not fall rapidly, which is safe and helps to protect life safety. Example 11

[0103] like Figure 17 The figure shown is a perspective view of the self-stabilizing flight device described in Embodiment Eleven. In this embodiment, the frame 1 is in the form of a tricycle. The difference between this embodiment and the other embodiments mentioned above is that the counterweight assembly 4 includes a second frame 415, the lower end of the support column 2 is connected to the upper end of the second frame 415, and a reclining board 416 is provided at the lower end of the second frame 415. The structure of this embodiment allows a person to lie on the reclining board 416 to operate it. By holding the handles with both hands and swinging the body, the person controls the swing of the reclining board 416, thereby driving the support column 2 to swing, so as to control the rotation plane of the rotor assembly 3.

[0104] The rotor assembly 3 has a power rotor 301 and an autorotator 302, which provides lift and good safety features.

[0105] Compared with traditional rotor control methods, the technical solutions of this application are equipped with counterweight components 4, so only a very small force is needed to control the swing of the support column 2, which is quite ingenious. Example 12

[0106] like Figure 18 The figure shown is a perspective view of the self-stabilizing flight device described in Embodiment Twelve; in this embodiment, the frame 1 includes a multi-axis flight module, namely, a power rotor 301 with multiple rings regularly distributed as a power source.

[0107] In this embodiment, the counterweight assembly 4 includes a cabin 426 and a landing gear 427. The landing gear 427 is connected to the lower part of the cabin 426. The battery can be placed in the cabin 426. The support column 2 is hollow, allowing the wiring to extend upwards to the powered rotor 301 located at the top. The control method of the multi-rotor flight module is: to use the flight controller of a traditional "X" type octagonal UAV.

[0108] The multi-axis flight module can be a quadcopter, a hexacopter, or an octagonal flight module. When a quadcopter is used, the four power motors are controlled by four control loops arranged in a "well" shape in the flight controller of a traditional "X" type octagonal UAV. The other four control loops control the rotor assembly 3 above the support column 2.

[0109] The frame 1 is connected to a second control stick 428, which extends to the cabin 426. In practice, the frame 1 can also be pulled by hand by pulling the second control stick 428, thereby controlling the rotation surface of the multi-rotor flight module to be on different planes, thus controlling the flight direction.

[0110] like Figure 19 As shown in the schematic diagram of the structure of the movable component 5 in Embodiment Twelve, the movable component 5 includes a first assembly frame 503 and a second assembly frame 504. The first assembly frame 503 is located inside the second assembly frame 504, and the centers of the two coincide. A first round rod 505 is horizontally arranged through the support column 2. The two ends of the first round rod 505 are rotatably connected to the first assembly frame 503 through bearings. Second round rods 506 are arranged on both sides of the first assembly frame 503. The second round rods 506 are rotatably connected to the second assembly frame 504. The plane in which the rotation direction of the first round rod 505 is located is perpendicular to the plane in which the rotation direction of the second round rod 506 is located. The second assembly frame 504 is fixed to the center of the frame 1. Therefore, the support column 2 can tilt back and forth and deflect left and right relative to the frame 1. Example 13

The moving frame 1203 is connected to the lifting component 1202, and the lifting component 1202 is connected to the tray 1201. The egg-shaped cabin 11 is fitted onto the tray 1201.

[0112] The lifting assembly 1202 can be a conventional hydraulic rod, cylinder, or lead screw and nut assembly, and is not limited here.

[0113] The intelligent vehicle 12 can carry the egg-shaped cabin 11 and connect it to the frame 1 of the flight device.

[0114] like Figure 22As shown, in this embodiment, the movable assembly 5 comprises a first connecting member 507, a second connecting member 508 and a third connecting member 509; the lower end of the first connecting member 507 is connected with the counterweight assembly 4, the upper end of the first connecting member 507 is hingedly connected with the second connecting member 508, the second connecting member 508 is hingedly connected with the lower end of the third connecting member 509, and the upper end of the third connecting member 509 is hingedly connected with the frame body 1; thus, through the movable assembly 5, the frame body 1 can be caused to have forward and backward tilting and left and right tilting movements relative to the counterweight assembly 4.
