Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] An electric aircraft refers to an aircraft driven by an electric motor, and the power source is a battery. The electric aircraft has the advantages of energy saving and environmental protection, high efficiency, low energy consumption, low noise and vibration level, and thus has a good development prospect in the field of aviation.

[0003] The electric aircraft includes a fixed-wing aircraft, a multi-rotor aircraft and an electric helicopter. For the multi-rotor aircraft, the flight attitudes such as yaw, pitch and roll are realized by changing the relative rotation speed between different rotors, and a single rotor does not have a cyclic pitch function. The lift is realized by rotating the rotors driven by the motors on each shaft to generate lift, thereby realizing the rising or falling. Since the total pitch of the rotors of the multi-rotor aircraft is fixed, the height adjustment is realized by adjusting the rotation speed of the rotors. The higher the rotation speed, the higher the flight height, but the higher the rotation speed of the electric motor, the lower the efficiency, thereby resulting in low carrying capacity of the multi-rotor aircraft and unsuitability for high-altitude flight.

[0004] For the electric helicopter, although it has a cyclic pitch and total pitch adjustment function, the cyclic pitch is realized by a plurality of rudders and tilt swash plates, and the rudder structure is relatively complex, and the internal speed reduction system is provided, which has low transmission efficiency and is easy to be damaged, thereby resulting in high failure rate of the rudder and frequent replacement. The total pitch adjustment of the electric helicopter is realized by a hydraulic system, and the hydraulic system occupies a large space and has a large weight, thereby being very unfavorable for the lightweight and small design requirements of the electric unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0053] The electric aircraft refers to an aircraft driven by an electric motor, and the power source is a battery. The electric aircraft has the advantages of energy saving, environmental protection, high efficiency, low energy consumption, low noise and vibration level, and thus has a good development prospect in the field of aviation. The electric aircraft includes a fixed-wing aircraft, a multi-rotor aircraft and an electric helicopter, etc. For the multi-rotor aircraft, the flight attitudes such as yaw, pitch and roll are realized by changing the relative rotating speeds between different rotors, and a single rotor does not have a cyclic pitch function. The lift of the multi-rotor aircraft is realized by rotating the rotors driven by the motors on each shaft to generate lift and thrust, thereby realizing the rising or falling. Since the total pitch of the rotors of the multi-rotor aircraft is fixed, the height adjustment is realized by adjusting the rotating speed of the rotors. The higher the rotating speed, the higher the flight height. However, the higher the rotating speed of the motor, the lower the efficiency, thereby resulting in a low carrying capacity of the multi-rotor aircraft and unsuitability for high-altitude flight. For the electric helicopter, although it has the functions of cyclic pitch and total pitch adjustment, the cyclic pitch is realized by a plurality of rudders and tilt swash plates, and the rudder structure is relatively complex and has a speed reduction system inside, which has a low transmission efficiency and is easy to be damaged, thereby resulting in a high failure rate of the rudder and frequent replacement.

[0054] Therefore, the rotor driving device provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises a rotating disc, a first driving motor, at least two second driving motors and an automatic tilting device. The driving part of the first driving motor is in transmission connection with the rotating disc to drive the rotating disc to rotate around its axis, so that the blade clamping members rotate synchronously with the rotating disc, thereby realizing the rotation of the blades. The first driving motor directly drives the rotation of the blades, so that the driving device has a smaller volume and a lighter weight, and is more suitable for the development requirements of miniaturization and intelligentization of the aircraft. Meanwhile, the at least two second driving motors are connected with the automatic tilting device through a linear transmission device to drive the automatic tilting device to move along the axial direction, so that all the blade clamping members rotate around their axes by the same angle, thereby adjusting the total pitch of the propeller. The automatic tilting device can also be driven to periodically horizontally tilt, so that all the blade clamping members rotate around their axes and the rotating angles periodically change, thereby periodically changing the blade angles of the blades to periodically adjust the cyclic pitch of the propeller. The rotor driving device provided by the embodiments of the present application can directly drive the rotation of the blades, and simultaneously realize the adjustment of the total pitch and the cyclic pitch of the propeller, and has the technical effects of simple structure, small occupied space, low failure rate, high transmission efficiency, small volume and light weight.

[0055] Please refer to Figures 1 to 12The rotor driving device provided by the embodiment of the application comprises a rotating disc 6, a first driving motor 1, at least two second driving motors 2, and an automatic inclinator 4. The first driving motor 1 has a containing cavity. The at least two second driving motors 2 are sequentially arranged along the axial direction of the containing cavity. The rotating disc 6 is provided with at least two blade clamping pieces in the circumferential direction. The driving part of the first driving motor 1 is in transmission connection with the rotating disc 6, and drives the rotating disc 6 to rotate around its own axis, so that the blade clamping pieces rotate synchronously with the rotating disc 6. The top end of the fixed part of the first driving motor 1 is sleeved with a sleeve 9. The automatic inclinator 4 is in sliding connection with the sleeve 9 and can move horizontally relative to the sleeve 9. The at least two second driving motors 2 are connected with the automatic inclinator 4 through a linear transmission device, drive the automatic inclinator 4 to move along the axial direction, so that all the blade clamping pieces rotate around their own axes by the same angle; and / or drive the automatic inclinator 4 to move horizontally periodically, so that all the blade clamping pieces rotate around their own axes and the rotation angles thereof change periodically.

[0056] It should be noted that the rotor driving device provided by the embodiment of the application is an electric driving mechanism, which is used for driving the propeller to rotate.

[0057] In the optional example embodiment, the linear transmission device comprises at least two screw transmission assemblies 3 with different sizes. The number of the screw transmission assemblies 3 is the same as that of the second driving motors 2. The screw transmission assemblies 3 are sequentially sleeved along the axial direction. Each second driving motor 2 is in transmission connection with the screw transmission assembly 3, so as to drive the corresponding screw transmission assembly 3 to move along the axial direction. The screw transmission assembly 3 is provided with a sliding block 320 on the side close to the sleeve 9. At least two sliding grooves 910 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the sleeve 9. The sliding grooves 910 extend along the axial direction of the sleeve 9. The sliding block 320 of each screw transmission assembly 3 is in sliding connection in the sliding groove 910. The sliding block 320 is in universal connection with the automatic inclinator 4 through a transmission shaft 410.

[0058] It should be noted that, specifically, in the present embodiment, the linear transmission device comprises at least two screw transmission assemblies 3 of different sizes, which are sequentially sleeved along the axial direction, and each second driving motor 2 is in driving connection with the screw transmission assembly 3. Each second driving motor 2 can drive the corresponding screw transmission assembly 3 to slide along the axial direction, and all the screw transmission assemblies 3 move the same distance, so as to drive the automatic tilting device 4 to move along the axial direction, so that all the paddle clamping pieces rotate around their own axes by the same angle, thereby adjusting the total pitch of the propeller. If the screw transmission assemblies 3 move different distances, the automatic tilting device 4 can be driven to periodically tilt horizontally, so that the paddle clamping pieces rotate around their own axes and the rotation angles thereof periodically change, thereby periodically changing the paddle angles of the paddles to periodically adjust the variable pitch of the propeller.

[0059] Specifically, the screw transmission assembly 3 is provided with a sliding block 320 on the side close to the sleeve 9, at least two sliding grooves 910 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the sleeve 9, the sliding grooves 910 extend along the axial direction of the sleeve 9, and the sliding block 320 of each screw transmission assembly 3 is in sliding connection in the sliding groove 910. The sliding block 320 is connected to the automatic tilting device 4 through the transmission shaft 410, and the sliding block 320 is arranged at the end of each screw transmission assembly 3. The sliding block 320 can be driven to slide in the sliding groove 910, thereby driving the automatic tilting device 4. If the multiple sliding blocks 320 drive different positions of the automatic tilting device 4 to move the same distance, that is, drive the automatic tilting device 4 to move along the axial direction of the sleeve 9, so that all the paddle clamping pieces rotate around their own axes by the same angle, thereby adjusting the total pitch of the propeller. If the multiple sliding blocks 320 drive different positions of the automatic tilting device 4 to move different distances, the automatic tilting device 4 can be driven to periodically tilt horizontally, so that the paddle clamping pieces rotate around their own axes and the rotation angles thereof periodically change, thereby periodically changing the paddle angles of the paddles to periodically adjust the variable pitch of the propeller.

[0060] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the sliding block 320 is connected to the automatic tilting device 4 through the transmission shaft 410, one end of one transmission shaft 410 is hingedly connected to the sliding block 320, the other end is ball-jointedly connected to the automatic tilting device 4, and the other transmission shafts 410 are ball-jointedly connected to the sliding block 320 and the automatic tilting device 4 at both ends. The connection mode of the transmission shaft 410, the sliding block 320 and the automatic tilting device 4 in the present embodiment can convert the linear movement of the sliding block 320 into the horizontal tilting or axial movement of the automatic tilting device 4, thereby avoiding the automatic tilting device 4 from being stuck and affecting the normal work of the automatic tilting device 4.

[0061] In the alternative exemplary embodiment, the screw transmission assembly 3 comprises screw pipe fittings 330 and threaded pipes 310; the outer wall of the screw pipe fittings 330 comprises a threaded portion 332 and a sleeve portion 331 arranged along the axial direction, the sleeve portion 331 is arranged through the inner cavity of the adjacent screw pipe fittings 330, the threaded portion 332 of each screw pipe fitting 330 is threadedly connected with the threaded pipe 310, each threaded pipe 310 is connected with the driving portion of the second driving motor 2 respectively, and the outer periphery of the threaded pipe 310 is rotatably connected with the fixed portion of the second driving motor 2 through a bearing; the end of each sleeve portion 331 is connected with the sliding block 320 respectively.

[0062] It should be noted that, specifically, in the present embodiment, the screw transmission assembly 3 driven by the second driving motor 2 adopts a screw drive mode, that is, the screw transmission assembly 3 comprises screw pipe fittings 330 and threaded pipes 310; the outer wall of the screw pipe fittings 330 comprises a threaded portion 332 and a sleeve portion 331 arranged along the axial direction, the sleeve portion 331 is arranged through the inner cavity of the adjacent screw pipe fittings 330, the threaded portion 332 of each screw pipe fitting 330 is threadedly connected with the threaded pipe 310, each threaded pipe 310 is connected with the driving portion of the second driving motor 2 respectively, and the outer periphery of the threaded pipe 310 is rotatably connected with the fixed portion of the second driving motor 2 through a bearing, in the driving process, the driving portion of the second driving motor 2 drives, so that the threaded portion 332 of the screw pipe fitting 330 rotates spirally relative to the threaded pipe 310, thereby realizing the sliding of the screw pipe fitting 330 along the axial direction, thereby driving the sliding block 320 at the end of the sleeve portion 331 of the screw pipe fitting 330 to slide, thereby realizing the driving of the automatic tilting device 4.

[0063] It should be further noted that the at least two screw transmission assemblies 3 with different sizes are different in the shaft diameter and the length of the screw pipe fittings 330, and the shaft diameter of the inner screw pipe fitting 330 is smaller than that of the outer screw pipe fitting 330. The screw pipe fittings 330 are connected in layers one by one. Correspondingly, in order to match the threaded portion 332 of the screw pipe fitting 330, the inner diameters of the threaded pipes 310 are also different. The outer diameters of all the threaded pipes 310 are the same, so that the uniformity of the outer structure can be ensured.

[0064] Exemplarily, the sleeve portion 331 is arranged as a polished rod portion.

[0065] The threaded pipe 310 is screwed to the outer periphery of the threaded part 332, and the length of the threaded part 332 is determined according to the specification of the threaded pipe 310, the stroke of the total pitch adjustment and the periodic variable pitch adjustment. The external thread of the threaded part 332 and the internal thread of the threaded pipe 310 are preferably T-shaped threads, which are tightly fitted with a taper surface between the internal and external threads, and have good self-locking performance. When the second driving motor 2 stops working, the threaded pipe 310 and the lead screw pipe fitting 330 can be self-locked, thereby ensuring the adjustment accuracy and precision of the total pitch adjustment and the periodic variable pitch adjustment of the propeller.

[0066] In the alternative exemplary embodiment, the automatic tilting device 4 comprises a swash plate 420, a synchronization device 460 and at least two universal pull rods 430; the swash plate 420 is slidingly connected to the outer periphery of the sleeve 9 through a spherical pair 450, so that the swash plate 420 rotates universally relative to the spherical pair 450; the synchronization device 460 is arranged on the outer periphery of the swash plate 420 and connected with the swash plate 420 and the rotating disc 6, so that the swash plate 420 rotates synchronously with the rotating disc 6; the number of the universal pull rods 430 is the same as the number of the propeller clamps, and one end of each universal pull rod 430 is connected with the swash plate 420 universally, and the other end is connected with the propeller through a rocker arm 440 respectively.

[0067] Specifically, in the present embodiment, during operation, the swash plate 420 rotates synchronously with the rotating disc 6 under the driving of the synchronization device 460, the second driving motor 2 drives the screw transmission assembly 3 to move linearly, the screw transmission assembly 3 pushes the swash plate 420 to move horizontally or axially through the transmission shaft 410, the swash plate 420 transmits its movement posture to the propeller through the universal pull rods 430 and the rocker arms 440, and drives the propeller to adjust the propeller angle, so as to realize the total pitch and periodic variable pitch adjustment of the propeller, and further realize the flight attitude adjustment of the aircraft.

[0071] It should be noted that in the embodiment, the sliding ball pair 462 can slide along the guide rod 461 and roll in the guide ball groove 464. When the paddle rotates, the rotating disc 6 drives the guide rod 461 to rotate synchronously, the sliding ball pair 462 on the guide rod 461 contacts the side surface of the guide ball groove 464, thereby driving the swash plate 420 to rotate synchronously with the rotating disc 6, ensuring the synchronism of the swash plate 420 and the rotating disc 6. The ball surface contact between the sliding ball pair 462 and the guide ball groove 464 has a large stress area, strong torsional resistance and is not easy to damage, effectively ensuring the stability of the structure and prolonging the service life.

[0072] When the paddle is adjusted in total pitch, the swash plate 420 slides axially along the sleeve 9, driving the sliding ball pair 462 to slide along the guide rod 461.

[0073] When the paddle is adjusted in cyclical pitch, the swash plate 420 is horizontally inclined, the sliding ball pair 462 slides along the guide rod 461 and rolls in the guide ball groove 464, thereby giving way to the horizontal inclination of the swash plate 420 to avoid the swash plate 420 from being stuck.

[0074] In the embodiment, one end of each of the universal pull rods 430 is connected to the ball joint seat 463, and a ball groove is arranged on the ball joint seat 463 and is not connected to the guide ball groove 464. The other end of at least two universal pull rods 430 is connected to one end of the rocker arm 440, and the other end of the rocker arm 440 is fixedly connected to the paddle shaft.

The three second driving motors 2 jointly complete the periodic pitch adjustment and total pitch adjustment of the paddle. The braking force is three times that of the traditional cross plate. Similarly, the paddle also gets three times power. Compared with the traditional cross plate structure, the mechanical structure is simpler, and the burden of each second driving motor 2 is smaller and the control accuracy is higher.

[0077] In the alternative exemplary embodiment, the first driving motor 1 comprises a first outer rotor 110 and a first stator 120. The first outer rotor 110 is sleeved outside the first stator 120. The accommodating cavity is arranged at the center of the first stator 120 and forms a cylindrical cavity. The first outer rotor 110 comprises a first rotor shell 111 and at least two circumferential permanent magnet poles 112. The at least two circumferential permanent magnet poles 112 are arranged on the inner wall of the first rotor shell 111 and are arranged at equal intervals along the axis direction of the first rotor shell 111. The number of the first stator 120 is at least two. The at least two first stators 120 are coaxially arranged in series in the first outer rotor 110 and correspond to the positions of the permanent magnet poles 112 respectively. The turntable 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the first rotor shell 111. The outer periphery of the lead screw pipe 330 is sleeved with a shaft sleeve 7. One end surface of the shaft sleeve 7 is connected with the first stator 120 close to the turntable 6, and the other end surface is connected with the sleeve 9. The turntable 6 is rotationally connected to the outer periphery of the shaft sleeve 7 through a tapered roller bearing 8.

[0078] It should be noted that, specifically, in the embodiment, the first driving motor 1 is thus arranged, which is equivalent to a multi-stage motor. By energizing the corresponding stator coils 122 of the at least two first stators 120, a magnetic field is generated. According to the principle of same polarity repulsion and different polarity attraction, the at least two circumferential permanent magnet poles 112 are relatively rotated under the magnetic force of the stator coils 122 of the corresponding first stator 120, which jointly drives the first rotor shell 111 and the turntable 6 connected with the first rotor shell 111 to rotate synchronously.

[0079] In the alternative exemplary embodiment, the first driving motor 1 is an outer rotor brushless motor. The second driving motor 2 is a variable pitch motor.

[0080] The rotor driving device provided by the embodiment of the present application can simultaneously realize total pitch and cyclic pitch adjustment of the blades through the arrangement of the at least two variable pitch motors and the at least two linear transmission devices, fills the technical blank of the existing electric aircrafts which cannot simultaneously perform total pitch and cyclic pitch adjustment, has high carrying capacity while ensuring the flight height of the aircraft, can be used as a manned machine or a transport machine, and has a good development prospect.

[0081] Further, the first driving motor 1 of the embodiment can be a hollow cup type outer rotor motor, has the accommodating cavity inside, the at least two second driving motors 2 are arranged in the accommodating cavity in the axial direction of the accommodating cavity in sequence, and the at least two second driving motors 2 are coaxially arranged in series. In this way, the at least two second driving motors 2 are arranged in the accommodating cavity inside the first driving motor 1, the internal space of the first driving motor 1 is effectively utilized, the first driving motor 1 and the at least two second driving motors 2 are integrated, and the integrated structure has the advantages of compact structure, small volume, light weight, good heat dissipation effect and high strength, and is suitable for the development requirements of light weight and small size of the aircraft.

[0082] In the alternative exemplary embodiment, the second driving motor 2 can be an outer rotor hollow cup brushless motor, including a second stator 210, a second outer rotor 220, a second end cover 250, a second electronic governor 230, a second Hall sensor 240 and a magnetic disk 260. A plurality of screw transmission assemblies 3 are arranged in the middle hollow part of the second stator 210, the second end cover 250 is arranged at the top of the second outer rotor 220 and connected with the threaded tube 310 of the corresponding screw transmission assembly 3. The second electronic governor 230 is arranged at the bottom of the second stator 210, is sleeved on the outer periphery of the threaded tube 310 of the corresponding screw transmission assembly 3, and is connected with the second stator 210. The second Hall sensor 240 is arranged on the second electronic governor 230, and the magnetic disk 260 is fixedly sleeved on the outer periphery of the threaded tube 310 of the corresponding screw transmission assembly 3 and is arranged in a spaced manner with the second Hall sensor 240.

[0083] In this embodiment, when the second drive motor 2 is operating, the second outer rotor 220 drives the second end cap 250 to rotate synchronously. The second end cap 250 drives the corresponding threaded tube 310 of the screw drive assembly 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the magnetic disk 260 to rotate. The second ESC 230 and the second Hall effect sensor 240 remain stationary. The input line of the second ESC 230 is connected to the battery, and the output line is connected to the power lines of the second drive motor 2, controlling the start and stop, speed, and direction of the second drive motor 2. The second Hall effect sensor 240 indirectly monitors the speed, position, and direction of the second drive motor 2 by detecting the speed and rotational position of the magnetic disk 260 in real time. The detected data can be used to determine the location and cause of any faults in the second drive motor 2.

[0084] For example, at least two articulated seats 610 are provided along the circumferential direction of the turntable 6, and the articulated seats 610 are used to install the blade clamps. The operation of the first drive motor 1 can drive the turntable 6 and the blade clamps installed on the articulated seats 610 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the blades to rotate. By adjusting the blade rotation speed, the start-stop, hovering and flight altitude adjustment of the aircraft can be achieved.

[0085] It should be noted that the blade holder in this embodiment is directly driven by an outer rotor brushless motor. Compared to conventional motors, outer rotor brushless motors offer improved heat dissipation, greater torque, and higher power density. When the motor output power requirements are the same, outer rotor brushless motors offer smaller size and lighter weight, resulting in less drag and lower power loss during flight, making them more suitable for the development of miniaturized and intelligent aircraft.

[0086] In this embodiment, the automatic tilter 4 is used to be connected to the blade clamp. The automatic tilter 4 itself is suitable for horizontal tilting and is slidably connected to the sleeve 9. The sleeve 9 is fixedly connected to the first stator 120. The first stator 120 is stationary, thereby fixing the sleeve 9.

[0087] When the automatic recliner 4 slides axially along the sleeve 9, it causes the blade holder connected to the automatic recliner 4 to rotate about its own axis, changing the blade angle and the collective pitch of the propeller. This changes the pulling force generated by the propeller rotation, which in turn changes the aircraft's altitude. This embodiment adjusts the aircraft's altitude by adjusting the collective pitch, without adjusting the speed of the first drive motor 1. This effectively avoids the drawbacks of excessively high speeds of the first drive motor 1, which can lead to low power efficiency and poor load-bearing capacity.

[0088] When the automatic tilt device 4 tilts horizontally, it drives the blade clamp connected to the automatic tilt device 4 to perform cyclic pitch adjustment, the blade angles of multiple blades change periodically, and the lateral force, backward force and counter torque of the blades change to achieve the roll, pitch and yaw of the aircraft.

[0089] In the embodiment, the first driving motor 1 drives the first rotor shell 111 to rotate through at least two first stators 120 simultaneously or respectively driving at least two weeks of permanent magnet poles 112. Compared with the setting form of single week permanent magnet poles 112 and single motor stator, the torque of the first driving motor 1 of the embodiment is larger, and when one motor stator or one week of permanent magnet poles 112 fails, the first driving motor 1 can still work normally, and the safety redundancy is higher.

[0090] Exemplarily, the number of the multi-week permanent magnet poles 112 of the embodiment is two weeks, and the number of the corresponding first stators 120 is also two. The first Hall inductor 150 is arranged between the two weeks of permanent magnet poles 112, and is arranged on the outer wall of the first stator 120 and is matched with the position of one of the magnetic steels of one of the permanent magnet poles 112 on the inner wall of the first rotor shell 111. The first Hall inductor 150 detects the rotating speed and position of the first driving motor 1 by monitoring the position of the magnetic steel in real time, and can judge the fault position and fault reason according to the detected real-time information.

[0093] It should be noted that specifically, in the embodiment, the first end cover 130 is arranged on the side of the first stator 120 away from the rotating disc 6, that is, the bottom end cover of the first driving motor 1. In the running process, the first rotor shell 111 drives the cooling fan 140 to rotate, and the rotation of the cooling fan 140 drives the airflow to flow, so as to cool and heat dissipate the first driving motor 1, so as to prevent the first driving motor 1 from being damaged by high temperature in long-term operation.

[0100] It should be noted that, specifically, in the present embodiment, the self-lubricating cooling device is used for lubricating and cooling the tapered roller bearing 8, the first driving motor 1 and the second driving motor 2.

[0101] Exemplarily, the rotor is bowl-shaped, and the stepped hole is arranged at the middle position of the rotor.

[0102] In use, the sealed space and the circulating oil passage are both filled with cooling lubricating medium, and specifically, the cooling lubricating medium can be lubricating oil.

[0104] It can be understood that when the cooling lubricating medium flows through the tapered roller bearing 8, the tapered roller bearing 8 can be lubricated by the cooling lubricating medium, and the tapered roller bearing 8, the first driving motor 1, the at least two second driving motors 2, and the screw transmission assembly 3 and other components can also be cooled. The heat generated by the first driving motor 1 and the at least two second driving motors 2 when working is transmitted to the cooling lubricating medium in the form of heat conduction, and the circulating flow of the cooling lubricating medium carries away the heat, avoiding high-temperature damage to the tapered roller bearing 8, the first driving motor 1, the at least two second driving motors 2, and the screw transmission assembly 3 and other components, and affecting the service life of the rotor drive mechanism.
