Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and in particular to a deicing device for unmanned aerial vehicle blades. Background Art

[0002] Drone is a general term for unmanned aerial vehicles. Civilian drones are widely used in aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, express delivery, disaster relief, wildlife observation, infectious disease monitoring, surveying and mapping, news reporting, power inspection, disaster relief, film and television shooting and other fields. Civilian drones mainly include a frame, motor, propeller blades and a main controller. The main controller drives the motor and propeller blades to rotate, causing the propeller blades to generate downward airflow, thereby generating lift and making the drone fly.

[0003] In a low temperature environment, the propeller blades of the drone will freeze. In order to ensure the normal flight of the drone, the propeller blades of the drone need to be de-iced before flight. The de-icing method is generally to heat the surface of the propeller blades through a certain heating device. Specifically, either a corresponding device is prepared separately for operation, or a corresponding device is directly set on the drone frame. The separate preparation of the corresponding device can accurately operate the propeller blade area, but it requires additional manual operation and requires additional power supply, which is inconvenient. A corresponding heating device is directly set on the drone frame, such as a hot air blower, which can automatically generate hot air by itself during de-icing without too much manual operation. However, since the propeller blades are generally set around the frame, that is, a certain distance away from the hot air blower, it is not conducive to hot air blowing to the propeller blades. There is also a method of setting a heating wire in the propeller blade. Although it is conducive to directly heating the propeller blade, it is not convenient for repair. In addition, the propeller blades of civil drones are mostly made of plastic, such as polyamide, polycarbonate, polypropylene, etc., which have poor thermal conductivity and are not conducive to setting a heating wire.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will refer to the attached Figures 1 to 11 The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] Embodiment 1 A deicing device for drone blades, as shown in the attached Figure 1 As shown, it includes a frame 1. In this embodiment, the frame 1 includes two upper and lower plates. A main controller can be arranged between the two plates. An arm 6 is arranged on the frame 1. A motor A9 is arranged on the arm 6. A blade 10 is arranged on the motor A9. The motor A9 is controlled to rotate by the main controller, thereby driving the blade 10 to rotate. Due to the shape of the blade 10 itself, a downward airflow is generated as it rotates, thereby generating lift to enable the drone to fly. In addition, the active controller is also connected to a corresponding shooting mechanism, etc. This part is a prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0023] As attached Figure 1 , Attachment Fig.10As shown, the motor A9 is slidably set on the arm 6, and is provided with a first control mechanism to control the motor A9 to approach or move away from the frame 1. The motor A9 is connected to the blade 10 through the telescopic member 11, and the height of the blade 10 can be adjusted. The blade 10 is hingedly set, and is provided with a second control mechanism to control the blade 10 to be retracted or unfolded downward. The frame 1 is provided with a heating device 3, and the heating device 3 includes a hot air blower and an air outlet 2 that is connected to the hot air blower and faces each blade 10; in addition, it should be noted that the motor A9 can also be connected to the arm 6 through a telescopic structure, and the sliding effect is achieved through the telescopic mechanism.

[0024] Working principle: When the drone is in flight, refer to the attached Figure 1 , the motor A9 and the blade 10 are controlled by the first control mechanism to be away from the frame 1, so that the blade 10 can be located around the entire UAV, and lift is generated from the bottom of the UAV around the periphery, and the force is reasonable. The height of the blade 10 is lowered by the telescopic member 11, and the length of the telescopic member 11 can be reduced, thereby reducing the friction during the flight. The blade 10 is controlled to unfold by the second control mechanism, and can rotate and fly smoothly; when the blade 10 is in the de-icing state, refer to the attached Fig.10 , the first control mechanism controls the motor A9 and the blade 10 to approach the frame 1 and the heating device 3, reduces the distance between the blade 10 and the heating device 3, and makes the blade 10 approach the air outlet 2. When hot air is generated, the hot air can approach the blade 10 in the first time to avoid heat loss on the way. The height of the blade 10 is raised by the telescopic member 11, so that the second control mechanism can smoothly control the blade 10 to be stored downward, and turn on the heating device 3. When the motor A9 is started, it drives the blade 10 to rotate, and the blade 10 generates an inward airflow, which can absorb the hot air for heating and deicing in the first time; it should also be noted that in the actual process, in order to ensure the smooth flight of the drone, the shape and rotation direction of the blades 10 in the drone will be different, such as clockwise rotation to generate a downward airflow, after storage, clockwise rotation to generate an inward airflow, counterclockwise rotation to generate a downward airflow, after storage, counterclockwise rotation to generate an inward airflow, all of which can operate normally during deicing.

[0025] During de-icing, the present embodiment reduces the distance between the blade 10 and the air outlet 2, so that the generated hot air flows quickly to the blade 10. Compared with the prior art, it can avoid the heat loss of the hot air on the way to the blade 10. At the same time, the blade 10 is rotated downward and stored, and the rotation of the blade 10 is controlled to generate an inward airflow from the blade 10, and the hot air on the surrounding side is sucked into the blade 10 area, so that the hot air is fully utilized to heat the blade 10 to achieve the de-icing effect. The operation is simple and the de-icing effect is good. When the present invention heats the blade 10 for de-icing by hot air, the rotation of the blade 10 itself can increase the friction between the hot air and the blade 10, increase the flow rate of the hot air passing through the blade 10, and effectively improve the de-icing effect. In the present invention, the blade 10 is connected through the telescopic part 11 is connected to the motor A9. During deicing, the telescopic part 11 is extended to facilitate the blades 10 to rotate downward and be stored. When the UAV is flying, the telescopic part 11 is contracted to reduce the surface area of ​​the device, reduce the friction during flight, and facilitate flight. When the UAV is flying, the heating device 3 of the present invention can also be turned on to play a certain anti-icing role, and to assist in heating the surface of the UAV to avoid icing during flight. The heating device 3 of the present invention is separately arranged between the blades 10, and no additional power supply is required. It is driven by the UAV's own electricity, has a simple structure, and is easy to operate. Compared with the traditional structure in which a heating wire is arranged in the blades 10, when the blades 10 are damaged, it is convenient to directly replace the blades 10, and it is convenient to replace and repair each part of the structure separately.

[0026] As attached Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, in this embodiment, a sleeve 8 is slidably provided on the arm 6, and a motor A9 is arranged on the sleeve 8. The first control mechanism includes a shell 4 arranged on the frame 1. Specifically, a connecting hole 22 is provided on the frame 1, and the shell 4 and the frame 1 are detachably connected through the connecting hole 22, which is convenient for internal maintenance. A transmission rod 5 is passed through the shell 4. The number of the transmission rods 5 corresponds to the blades 10, and they are connected to the corresponding sleeves 8. Specifically, a connecting rod 7 is provided between the transmission rod 5 and the sleeve 8. The transmission rod 5 is located in the shell 4 and is provided with a first rack 24. The shell 4 is also provided with a motor B25, which is connected to the main controller and controlled by the main controller. The motor B25 is connected to the first gear 26, and the axis of the first gear 26 is along the vertical direction, and is connected to the first rack 24 through the first gear 26.

[0027] Working principle: By controlling the rotation of the motor B25, the first gear 26 is driven to rotate, and then the first rack 24, the transmission rod 5, the sleeve 8, the motor A9 and the blade 10 are driven to move in sequence, so as to control the distance between the blade 10 and the heating device 3.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the frame 1 is symmetrically provided with four groups of arms 6, motor A9 and blades 10. Among the four first racks 24 in the first control mechanism, two relative heights are equal, that is, the front and rear two heights are equal, and the left and right two heights are equal. Specifically, the inner ends of the front and rear transmission rods 5 are provided with a vertical plate 23, and the first racks 24 are connected by the vertical plate 23, so that the front and rear first racks 24 are higher than the left and right first racks 24. The motor B25 is connected with upper and lower first gears 26. The first gear 26 is meshed and connected with the corresponding two first racks 24, that is, the upper first gear 26 is meshed and connected with the front and rear first racks 24, and the lower first gear 26 is meshed and connected with the left and right first racks 24. When the motor B25 rotates, it can drive the four first racks 24 to move inward or outward at the same time, and then drive the first rack 24, the transmission rod 5, the sliding sleeve 8, the motor A9 and the blades 10 to move in turn, so as to realize the simultaneous control of the distance between the four groups of blades 10 and the heating device 3.

[0029] As attached Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, in this embodiment, the telescopic member 11 is a multi-layer sleeve structure, and a ring body 15 is rotatably sleeved on the top, and a hinged rod 12 is hinged between the ring body 15 and the arm 6. When the telescopic member 11 approaches the frame 1, the angle of the hinged rod 12 changes, thereby driving the telescopic member 11 to extend.

[0030] As attached Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the second transmission mechanism includes a connecting plate 13 fixedly arranged on the top of the telescopic member 11, and the blade 10 is hinged at the end of the connecting plate 13 through a hinge shaft 17. The connecting plate 13 is a hollow structure, and a second rack 19 is slidably provided inside. The second rack 19 is transmission-connected with the hinge shaft 17 of the blade 10, and the second rack 19 and the connecting plate 13 are provided with an adapting fixing hole 16, and are fixed with a corresponding fixing member 14, which can be specifically fixed by a threaded hole and a threaded pin.

[0031] Working principle: When the blade 10 rotates, the hinge shaft 17 is driven to rotate, and the hinge shaft 17 drives the second rack 19 to slide, thereby changing the relative position of the second rack 19 and the connecting plate 13. By using the fixing part 14 to fix the different fixing holes 16, the angle of the blade 10 can be fixed, thereby realizing the control of the deployment and storage of the blade 10.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the hinge shaft 17 is connected to the second gear 21, and the second gear 21 is meshed with the driven gear 20. The driven gear 20 is arranged on the connecting plate 13 through the connecting shaft 18, and the driven gear 20 is larger than the second gear 21. The driven gear 20 is meshed with the second rack 19, which can avoid the end of the connecting plate 13 blocking the second rack 19, so that the second rack 19 can smoothly drive the second gear 21 to rotate; and in this embodiment, two second racks 19 of a group of two blades 10 are arranged below the driven gear 20, and the two second racks 19 are sleeved near one end. Each second rack 19 is provided with two fixing holes 16, and the connecting plate 13 is provided with a fixing hole 16. When the blade 10 is in different states, the different fixing holes 16 on the two second racks 19 correspond to the fixing holes 16 on the connecting plate 13. When the operation is fixed, it is only necessary to rotate the blade 10 first, and then fix the two second racks 19 at one time through the fixing member 14, which is simple to operate.

[0033] Embodiment 2 As attached Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Fig.11 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the second transmission mechanism includes a connecting plate 13 fixedly arranged on the top of the telescopic member 11, the blade 10 is hinged at the end of the connecting plate 13, the connecting plate 13 is a hollow structure, and a second rack 19 is provided inside, the second rack 19 is transmission-connected to the hinge shaft 17 of the blade 10, and the second rack 19 is connected to a third rack 27, the third rack 27 is meshingly connected to a third gear 28, the third gear 28 is rotatably arranged on the connecting plate 13, the axis of the third gear 28 is along the vertical direction, and the internal thread of the third gear 28 is penetrated by a ball screw 29 along the vertical direction, the bottom of the ball screw 29 passes through the connecting plate 13 and the top of the telescopic member 11, and is connected to the bottom of the telescopic member 11.

[0034] Working principle: when the telescopic member 11 is extended, the connecting plate 13 is driven to rise, and then the third gear 28 is driven to rise. When the third gear 28 is raised, under the action of the ball screw 29, it rotates relative to the ball screw 29, thereby driving the third rack 27 to move, and then the propeller 10 can be driven to rotate. That is, when the propeller 10 is raised, the propeller 10 is automatically controlled to rotate downward and stored, and when it is lowered, the propeller 10 is automatically controlled to unfold.

[0035] When deicing, you only need to control the motor B25 to adjust the position and state of the blade 10 at the same time, move the blade 10 close to the air outlet 2 and put it in the storage state, and then you only need to control the motor A9 and the heating device 3 to de-ice, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0036] As attached Fig.11 As shown, in this embodiment, a telescopic section 30 is provided at the bottom of the ball screw 29, which is connected to the bottom of the telescopic member 11 through the telescopic section 30. When the telescopic member 11 just begins to extend, the telescopic section 30 extends accordingly, and the positions of the thread grooves of the third gear 28 and the ball screw 29 remain relatively unchanged. When the telescopic section 30 is extended to the longest and cannot continue to extend, the telescopic member 11 continues to extend, and the height of the thread groove of the ball screw 29 remains unchanged. The third gear 28 and the ball screw 29 move relative to each other, rotating while rising, thereby driving the third rack 27 to move, and then driving the blade 10 to rotate.

[0037] In this embodiment, the thread groove portion of the ball screw 29 can always be set in the connecting plate 13, which not only protects the thread groove portion, but also when the telescopic member 11 is contracted, the telescopic section 30 is also in a contracted state and will not protrude outside the connecting plate 13. It is aesthetically pleasing and can also reduce resistance when the drone is flying.
