[0002] The coaxial twin-rotor flight system is a relatively special flight system. It adopts a layout in which two pairs of forward and reverse rotors are installed on the same axis and arranged up and down. The two pairs of forward and reverse rotors offset each other's anti-torque, and there is no need for a tail rotor to balance the anti-torque, so the fuselage structure is more compact. At the same time, due to its special structural design, it has high efficiency, load capacity and high-speed performance, and is widely used in military, civil and scientific research fields. At the same time, the coaxial twin-rotor flight system is also limited in many aspects of application due to its complex mechanical structure, difficult maintenance, and interference between rotors.

These problems have a certain impact on the flight performance, reliability, lightweight and other aspects of the flight system.

[0004] International patent PCT / CN2020 / 126687 discloses a three-servo direct-drive coaxial rotor system and control strategy. The system uses three servos to directly drive the upper tilting disc and the lower tilting disc to perform cyclic pitch change and add / subtract total pitch control on the rotor. The connection point on the upper tilting disc and the corresponding connection point of the servo rocker arm form a deflection angle greater than or equal to 0° and less than 90° around the rotation axis in a top-down perspective, forming a phase lag angle of the rotor. However, the connecting rod connecting the connection point on the tilting disc and the corresponding connection point of the servo rocker arm will be installed at an angle.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0038] The processing scheme of this technology is described as follows:

[0039] Example 1

[0040] This technical solution is an actuator designed based on a method of controlling the pitch of a three-point driven swash plate, and the method is described in detail as follows:

[0041] The three-point drive swash plate pitch control method includes a swash plate plane, three control points on the periphery of the swash plate plane, an axis along which the swash plate midpoint moves up and down, and a connecting rod connecting the rotor pitch rocker arm and the outer ring of the swash plate.

[0042] The specific description is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, three control points (A1, A2, A3) determine a plane xoy, which is the tilted disk plane. By controlling the positions of the three control points, the three-dimensional tilt angle control of the tilted disk plane is achieved;

[0043] The midpoint of the swash plate plane is constrained to be on the axis z, which avoids overdefinition of the three-point control plane and keeps the swash plate plane centered;

[0044] The rotation of the swash plate in the swash plate plane drives the movement of the rotor pitch rocker arm through the connecting rod (B1, B2) connecting the rotor pitch rocker arm and the outer ring of the swash plate, thereby realizing the cyclic pitch change and collective pitch adjustment of the rotor.

[0045] Based on the three-point drive swash plate control pitch change method, an actuator for controlling the swash plate to drive the rotor pitch change is designed. Figure 1 With attached Figure 2 As shown, it mainly includes a servo actuator unit group 1, an upper slant plate assembly 2, a lower slant plate assembly 3, an upper rotor assembly 4, a lower rotor assembly 5, and a main load-bearing component assembly.

[0046] The main load-bearing assembly 6 includes a main shaft 61, an upper motor seat 62, and a lower motor seat 63. The upper motor seat 62 is installed above the main shaft 61; the lower motor seat 63 is installed below the main shaft 61;

[0047] The servo actuator unit group 1 includes three driving servos 11, a servo frame 12, a limit arm 13, an upper rudder arm hinge rod assembly 14, and a lower rudder arm hinge rod assembly 15;

[0048] The servo frame 12 is installed on the main shaft 61, and is located between the upper motor seat 62 and the lower motor seat 63; three driving servos 11 are installed on the servo frame 12, and the rudder arms on the driving servos 11 are respectively connected to the upper rudder arm hinge rod assembly 14 and the lower rudder arm hinge rod assembly 15 through rudder arm hinges, the three upper rudder arm hinge rod assemblies 14 are connected to the upper tilting plate, and the three lower rudder arm hinge rod assemblies 15 are connected to the lower tilting plate assembly 3; the limit arm 13 is installed on the periphery of the servo frame 12, and its upper and lower strip groove structures are respectively located at the same height as the upper and lower tilting plate assemblies 3. The driving servo 11 can be replaced by other forms of servo rotary actuators or servo linear actuators.

[0049] The upper slant plate assembly 2 and the lower slant plate assembly 3 have the same composition, including a driving stage outer ring 21 , a driving stage inner ring 22 , a movable stage 23 , a spherical bearing 24 , and a slewing bearing 25 .

[0050] The inner ring of the slewing bearing 25 is installed with the driving stage inner ring 22, the bottom of the driving stage inner ring 22 is connected to the driving stage outer ring 21, and the joint bearing 24 is installed on the inner side of the driving stage inner ring 22; the outer ring of the slewing bearing 25 is installed with the movable stage 23, which has the connection characteristics of the connecting rod; three tie rod connection structures are arranged on the periphery of the driving stage outer ring 21, the tie rod connection structure of the upper inclined plate assembly 2 is connected to the three upper rudder arm hinge tie rod assemblies 14, and the tie rod connection structure of the lower inclined plate assembly 3 is connected to the three lower rudder arm hinge tie rod assemblies 15.

[0051] The outer periphery of the driving stage outer ring 21 includes a phase arm structure, and the phase arm structures of the upper and lower slant plate assemblies 3 are respectively inserted into the upper and lower strip groove structures of the limit arm 13, thereby limiting the rotation of the driving stage outer ring 21 and reducing the force on the pull rod assembly;

[0052] The above constitutes a swash plate assembly, which is installed on the main shaft 61 through a joint bearing 24. The upper swash plate assembly 2 is located between the servo actuator unit group 1 and the upper rotor assembly 4, and the lower swash plate assembly 3 is located between the servo actuator unit group 1 and the lower rotor assembly 5.

[0053] The upper rotor assembly 4 and the lower rotor assembly 5 have the same composition, including blades 41, a blade clamp assembly 42, a hub 43, a bearing group 44, a bearing seat 45, a drive motor 46, and a pitch-changing rod assembly 47. The structural feature of the pitch-changing rod assembly 47 is a connecting rod structure with hinged interfaces at both ends. The hinged interface at one end is connected to the ball joint on the movable stage 23 of the swash plate, and the hinged interface at the other end is connected to the pitch-changing rocker arm on the rotor assembly. The pitch-changing rod assembly 47 is driven by the swash plate, and the pitch-changing rod assembly 47 drives the rotor pitch-changing rocker arm. The pitch-changing rod assembly 47 has an additional component because it can be a rod composed of several parts or a single part.

[0054] The blades 41 of the upper rotor assembly 4 and the lower rotor assembly 5 are forward and reverse propellers. Preferably, the blades 41 of the upper rotor assembly 4 are counterclockwise rotating blades 41, and the blades 41 of the lower rotor assembly 4 are clockwise rotating blades 41.

[0055] The propeller hub 43 is mounted on the drive motor 46, and the bearing seat 45 is mounted on the phase arm of the propeller hub 43, and is in mating contact with the phase arm through the bearing group 44. The bearing group 44 can withstand axial and radial loads, wherein the bearing group 44 adopts a deep groove ball bearing and a thrust ball bearing group 44, and the radial displacement of the bearing seat 45 on the propeller hub 43 is limited by fasteners.

[0056] The propeller clamp assembly 42 includes a propeller clamp and a propeller clamp slot. The propeller clamp slot and the propeller clamp are hinged to form a flapping hinge of the rotor. The propeller clamp and the propeller clamp slot are hinged to fold and store the propeller blade 41. An elastic structure including but not limited to a torsion spring is added at the hinge to realize the automatic pop-up of the propeller blade 41 after the constraint is released.

[0057] The blade clamp assembly 42 is connected to the bearing seat 45 through the blade clamp groove; the blade 41 is installed on the blade clamp and connected through a bolt perpendicular to the blade hinge to form a swing array hinge; the hub 43 can be designed to install multiple blades 41 as needed, and two blades 41 are used in the attached figure.

[0058] A rocker arm structure is designed on the bearing seat 45, and a variable pitch pull rod assembly 47 is installed on the rocker arm.

[0059] In the upper rotor assembly 4, the lower end of the pitch rod assembly 47 is connected to the rod connection structure on the movable stage 23 of the upper swash plate assembly 2, and the drive motor 46 is located above the hub 43 assembly and is connected and fixed to the upper motor seat 62;

[0060] In the lower rotor assembly 5 , the upper end of the pitch rod assembly 47 is connected to the rod connection structure on the movable stage 23 of the lower swash plate assembly 3 , and the drive motor 46 is located below the hub 43 assembly and is fixedly connected to the lower motor seat 63 .

[0061] In the above scheme, the connection method of the upper rudder arm hinge rod assembly 14, the lower rudder arm hinge rod assembly 15, the variable pitch rod assembly 47 and other components is a connection method including but not limited to a hinge method.

[0062] The rudder arm hinge formed by the upper rudder arm hinge pull rod assembly 14, the lower rudder arm hinge pull rod assembly 15 and the rudder arm adopts a cylindrical hinge form, and the connection mode between the rudder arm and the tilting plate adopts a ball hinge form;

[0063] The connection between the pitch-changing tie rod assembly 47 and the bearing seat 45 is in the form of a cylindrical hinge, and the connection with the tilting plate is in the form of a ball joint connection.

[0064] In order to further optimize the actuator, the following improvements are made:

[0065] 1. By the attached Figure 1 It can be seen that the upper rudder arm hinge rod assembly 14, the lower rudder arm hinge rod assembly 15, and the variable pitch rod assembly 47 are arranged relatively vertically, which can improve the compactness of the structural arrangement. The explanation of the plumb bob is that the description of the plumb bob is limited to when the posture of the drone is in a vertical state. When the posture of the drone is in an inclined state, the plumb bob can be understood as being parallel to the axis of the main shaft (61). The description of the plumb bob in the whole text can be understood in this way;

[0066] 2. By the attached Figure 4 and attached Figure 5It can be seen that in order to adapt to the relative vertical arrangement of the pitch rod assembly 47, the rocker arm connection position connected to the pitch rod on the bearing seat 45 is specifically designed so that the pitch rod connection point (b1) located at the swash plate assembly is in the same vertical position. The vertical position forms a phase lag angle θ with the line (ob) connecting the center point of the main shaft 61 and the axis (oa) of the phase arm on the swash plate in the vertical viewing angle, and the angle ranges from 0° to 90°, which is determined according to the optimal flapping frequency ratio of the rotor.

[0067] 3. By the attached Figure 4 It can be seen that the distance (ob1) from the pitch rod connection point (b1) of the swash plate assembly to the center point (o) of the main shaft 61 in a vertical perspective is smaller than the distance (ob2) from the connection point (b2) of the tiller arm tie rod assembly and the swash plate assembly to the center point (o) of the main shaft 61. Thus, the swash plate structure forms a force-saving lever. The tiller arm tie rod assembly acts on the long arm position to drive the short arm where the connection point of the pitch rod assembly 47 and the swash plate assembly is located, that is, the pitch change of the blade 41 allows a smaller driving force to be used for driving. At the same time, the driving stroke is greater than the pitch change stroke of the blade 41, so that more precise pitch change control can be obtained.

[0068] 4. The upper rudder arm hinge rod assembly 14, the lower rudder arm hinge rod assembly 15, the pitch-changing rod assembly 47 and the tilting plate are connected by a ball joint. The direction of installation and insertion is opposite to the rotation tangent of the movable stage 23 of the tilting plate. When the movable stage 23 rotates at high speed, the rotation tangent direction is basically perpendicular to the installation plane of the ball joint base, which avoids the ball joint from falling off. The pitch-changing rod assembly 47 is always perpendicular to the installation axis of the ball joint base, that is, parallel to the installation plane of the ball joint base, which can ensure the reliability of the ball joint installation and further avoid the ball joint from falling off.

[0069] Example 2

[0070] According to the above-mentioned variable pitch method and actuator, this technical solution also proposes a flight platform control strategy, which is as follows:

[0071] The pitch and roll control of the flight platform is performed by changing the tilt angle of the swash plate based on the three-point driven swash plate pitch change mechanism to perform periodic pitch change.

[0072] The swash plate pitch-changing mechanism based on the three-point drive changes the swash plate height, thereby changing the collective pitch of the rotor system, thereby controlling the height of the flight platform;

[0073] The above two points can be controlled simultaneously to obtain the simultaneous change characteristics of lift and attitude;

[0074] The yaw torque is obtained by controlling the speed of the upper and lower motors, thereby performing yaw control.

[0075] The above are only preferred specific implementation modes of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical solutions and inventive concepts of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
