The pre-rotation motor drives the rotor blades on the rotor module to pre-rotate, and the tilt-rotation servo drives the rotor module to tilt back and forth along the horizontal plane.

[0006] Preferably, the rotor module also includes a module mounting seat, a rotor support, a pre-rotation gear and a rotor clamp seat. The module mounting seat is arranged on the mast, and the rotor support is hingedly arranged on the module mounting seat. A pre-rotation gear is sleeved on one side of the rotor support. The rotor support is provided for the pre-rotation motor to be set. The pre-rotation motor engages the pre-rotation gear and drives the pre-rotation gear to rotate. The top of the pre-rotation gear is fixedly set by the rotor clamp seat, and a rotor blade is detachably set at the front and back of the rotor clamp seat.

[0010] The present invention provides a rotor module. Compared with the prior art, the present invention utilizes a pre-rotation motor to directly drive the rotor blades to pre-rotate, which greatly simplifies the pre-rotation system of the autogyro, and improves the efficiency of the pre-rotation while reducing the complexity of the structure. In addition, the tilt angle of the rotor blades of the rotor module is adjusted by the tilt servo to simplify the overall rotor control. The present invention proposes a streamlined rotor module, which is highly integrated while fully realizing rotor pre-rotation and rotor tilt, thereby realizing modularization of the rotor of the autogyro, facilitating installation and disassembly, and also facilitating the testing of autogyro with different requirements.
