Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of aviation technology, and more particularly to a main rotor system. Background Art
[0002] Most existing unmanned helicopter main rotor systems use large-diameter steel bearings to withstand centrifugal force, which increases the weight of the rotor system. At the same time, the variable pitch hinge housing, internal bearings, and fixed distance rings will also withstand the centrifugal force of the blades, which increases the design weight, poor maintenance, increased costs, shorter service life, complex structure, and low reliability.
[0003] The torsion bar type main rotor hub is the main structural load-bearing component of unmanned helicopters. Its main function is to withstand the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the main rotor blades and produce torsional deformation to achieve the pitch change movement of the main rotor blades, making the main rotor system simple, compact, light in weight, safe to use, easy to maintain, and with a longer service life. It is an inevitable trend in the development of the main rotor system. The torsion bar is required to be able to withstand a large axial load and have a very small torsional stiffness. The axial load is the centrifugal force of the blades under different working conditions. The torsional angle and stiffness are necessary conditions for the main rotor pitch change, that is, to overcome the control force transmitted from the tilting gear servo. At the same time, under working conditions, it must have elastic recovery ability;
[0004] In the prior art, the structural forms of tension and twist strips generally include rubber steel wire tension and twist strips, steel wire tension and twist strips, laminated tension and twist strips, etc. Among them, rubber steel wire tension and twist strips are usually formed by winding a whole steel wire, which has problems such as low reliability and low safety. Single-layer steel wire winding products have poor stability, very small torsional stiffness, and are prone to plastic deformation, which affects the normal work of the tension and twist strips; laminated tension and twist strips are heavy, inefficient, and have high torsional stiffness, which is not conducive to the variable pitch movement of the variable pitch hinge. Adjusting the torsional stiffness requires adjusting the axial length of the variable pitch hinge. In addition, laminated tension and twist strips have high requirements on material properties, low laminate thickness, and great manufacturing difficulty.
[0005] In the prior art, the propeller hub support arm is generally connected to the propeller hub via a clamping plate, which greatly increases the processing accuracy and assembly requirements. Summary of the invention

In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "multiple" refers to two or more. For example, multiple positioning columns refer to two or more positioning columns. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0050] The present invention is described in detail below.
[0051] Embodiment 1:
[0052] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown:
[0053] The present invention discloses a torsion bar 62, comprising a torsion bar housing 621, an annular mounting cavity 622 disposed inside the torsion bar housing 621, two sets of steel sleeves 623 mounted on the torsion bar housing 621, and a torsion piece 624 sleeved on the mounting cavity 622;
[0054] The torsion bar housing 621 includes two groups of arc segments with the same structure and symmetrically arranged, and a straight line segment located between the two groups of arc segments and connected to the arc segments; the three segments form a mounting cavity 622 with an annular structure.
[0055] The installation cavity 622 is a waist-shaped ring structure; it includes two groups of arc segments with the same structure and symmetrically arranged, and a straight segment for connecting the two groups of arc segments; preferably, the arc segments of the torsion strip shell 621 and the arc segments of the installation cavity 622 are both semicircular arc segments, and their centers are concentric.
[0056] The two groups of steel sleeves 623 are arranged along the long direction of the straight section, and the axis connecting the axis and the center of the arc section are on the same straight line.
[0057] The tension and torsion member is wrapped in the installation cavity 622; the two sets of steel sleeves 623 cooperate with the pin 20 to connect with the hub support arm 3 and the pitch hinge assembly 4 respectively, and the steel sleeves 623 are used to transmit centrifugal force and torsional load;
[0058] The steel sleeve 623 is mainly used to connect the hub 2 and the pitch hinge assembly 4, and mainly bears the centrifugal force of the blade and the manipulation force of the pitch torsion deformation. The torsion piece 624 is made of a material with high tensile strength and low torsion stiffness. When the tensile strength is met, a layered design can be used to reduce the torsion stiffness of the torsion strip 62.
[0059] Preferably, in order to reduce the weight of the torsion bar housing 321, a waist-shaped hole is provided on the torsion bar housing 321; the waist-shaped hole and the long axis and the axis line of the two sets of steel sleeves are on the same plane.
[0060] In some possible implementations,
[0061] The pulling and twisting member 624 includes a laminate layer 6241 in an annular structure and sleeved in the installation cavity 622 , and two groups of winding members located on both sides of the laminate layer 6241 and symmetrically arranged.
[0062] In some possible implementations,
[0063] The winding member includes two groups of steel wire layers 6242 sleeved in the installation cavity and a flexible material layer 6243 located between the two groups of steel wire layers;
[0064] The outer sides of the laminate layer 6241 , the steel wire layer 6242 , and the flexible material layer 6243 are wrapped with fiber cloth.
[0065] The laminate layer 6241 includes a plurality of groups of metal sheets arranged in parallel and sleeved in the installation cavity, and sealant is arranged between two adjacent groups of metal sheets.
[0066] like Figure 1-4As shown, the laminate layer 6241 is arranged on the center line of the installation cavity along its width direction, dividing the installation cavity into two small chambers, and the two groups of winding parts will be symmetrically arranged and located in the two small chambers; the laminate layer 6241 is made of multiple groups of metal sheets arranged in parallel and sleeved in the installation cavity; the two adjacent groups of metal sheets are separated by sealant. The purpose of doing this is, on the one hand, to strengthen the tensile bearing capacity of the pull-twist strip 62 and improve the reliability of the pull-twist strip 62 when the size is small, and on the other hand, to appropriately increase the torsional stiffness of the pull-twist strip 62, so that it can have adaptive reset and have good recovery ability.
[0067] The present invention sets four groups of steel sheet layers, which are arranged along the axial direction of the steel sleeve 623 and sleeved in the installation cavity 622. This is mainly for safety considerations, so that when two groups are damaged, the other two groups can still be used normally.
[0068] When assembling the pull-twist strip 62: first, a layer of steel wire 6242 is wound in the installation cavity 622, then fixed by a dipping process, and then wrapped with fiber cloth;
[0069] Secondly, the flexible material layer 6243 is installed, and after the flexible material layer 6243 is installed, it is wrapped with fiber cloth;
[0070] Subsequently, the second steel wire layer 6242 is wound in the same manner as the first steel wire layer 6242;
[0071] Next, the laminate layer 6241 is installed. Multiple groups of metal sheets are sequentially mounted in the installation cavity 622, and the gap between two adjacent layers of metal sheets is filled with sealant. The laminate layer 6241 is formed by using multiple groups of metal sheets to further improve the torsional rigidity.
[0072] Finally, install the wrapping piece on the other side in the same way as above;
[0073] The steel wire layer 6242 adopts the resin dipping process and uniform winding technology; each layer of steel wire layer 6242 is wound with a steel wire, and the uniform load of each strand of steel wire in the same layer is achieved through deformation coordination, while ensuring that the preload of the steel wire winding is within the design range;
[0074] In the transverse section of the tension and twist strip 62, a laminate layer 6241, a steel wire layer 6242, and a flexible material layer 6243 are arranged in sequence, and each layer is separated by fiber cloth to prevent wear between different material layers.
[0075] The flexible material layer 6243 and the fiber cloth reduce the wear between the adjacent two side materials, and the flexible material layer can also improve the torsional deformation capacity of the steel wire layer.
[0076] Preferably, the metal sheet is in a thin sheet structure.
[0077] Preferably, the flexible material layer can be made of a material with good flexibility, such as rubber or silicone.
[0078] After receiving the command of the main propeller pitch change from the flight tube computer, the servo drives the pull rod to move, and the servo control force is transmitted to the pitch rocker arm 42. The pitch rocker arm 42 drives the pitch hinge assembly 4 to rotate around the hub support arm 3, thereby realizing the change of the main rotor blade pitch. Specifically, the pitch movement of the pitch hinge assembly 4 is achieved by the elastic torsional deformation of the torsion bar 62 along its long center line; when the blade rotates at high speed, all centrifugal forces are transmitted by the torsion bar 62. Compared with the traditional structure, the torsion bar 62 of the present invention greatly optimizes the force condition of the pitch hinge assembly 4, so that the pitch hinge assembly 4 only transmits the lift of the unmanned helicopter.
[0079] on the other hand:
