Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aircraft, in particular to an aircraft whose thrust center and gravity center of a multi-rotor coincide with each other in all directions. Background Art

[0002] As an important type of aircraft, multi-rotor aircraft are widely used in agricultural plant protection, logistics and transportation, and firefighting and rescue. Traditional multi-rotor aircraft usually control the flight attitude by adjusting the speed difference of each rotor. Although this method is simple, it has many shortcomings. First, the thrust center of the rotor and the center of gravity of the aircraft often cannot completely coincide, resulting in the need for frequent attitude adjustments of the aircraft during flight, which increases energy consumption and control complexity. Secondly, traditional aircraft perform poorly in terms of wind resistance and flight stability, especially in strong wind environments. The aircraft's attitude control becomes more difficult and flight instability is prone to occur.

[0003] Existing multi-rotor aircraft usually adopt the method of overall attitude adjustment or split attitude adjustment. Overall attitude adjustment realizes the control of flight attitude by adjusting the speed difference of each rotor, but this method requires a large torque, frequent adjustment and high energy consumption. Although the split attitude adjustment adopts structural means such as universal joints, due to technical limitations, it is impossible to achieve the full overlap of the thrust center and the center of gravity of the multi-rotor, resulting in large inclination adjustment torque, frequent adjustment, high energy consumption, unstable flight and other problems. At the same time, there is also a situation in the prior art where the center of the bracket disk coincides with the center of gravity of the load. In this way, after the inclination angle of the bracket disk changes, the center point of the bracket disk and the center of gravity of the load leave the vertical line of the thrust center, and a “>”-shaped torque is generated between the thrust center-bracket disk center-load center of gravity. Under the pulling force of the load gravity center force, the bracket disk tilted as required will be flattened (when the speed of the multi-rotor is balanced). In this case, the stability needs to be improved, and the thrust center point is at the geometric center point of the symmetrical rotor. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an aircraft that can achieve full overlap between the thrust center and the center of gravity of a multi-rotor, so as to improve flight stability, reduce energy consumption and enhance wind resistance.

[0047] Action description: Aircraft flight preparation action: Place the aircraft in a suitable position, manually or automatically adjust the position of the slider 601 in the center of gravity adjustment device 6, and adjust the center position of the cross shaft 7 to the thrust center position. Start each rotor shaft driving device 3, and each rotor shaft driving device 3 drives each rotor shaft 4 and each rotor 5 to rotate.

[0048] The aircraft ascends: the omnidirectional joystick 26 of the remote controller 23 is reset to the center position, the lifting joystick 24 is pushed to the lifting position, each rotor is accelerated evenly, the lift of each rotor is balanced, and the lift of the rotor 5 is greater than the total weight of the aircraft and the cargo.

The combined lifting force of the rotors 5 is balanced with the total weight of the lifter + cargo, thereby achieving the purpose of hovering the aircraft.

[0050] The aircraft descends: the lifting and lowering operating stick 24 of the remote controller 23 is pushed to the descending gear, and the omnidirectional operating stick 26 is located at the center position, slowing down the rotation speed of all rotors 5. The lift of all rotors is less than the total weight of the aircraft plus cargo, so that the height of the aircraft is lowered, achieving the purpose of the aircraft descending.

[0051] Aircraft heading adjustment action: After the aircraft is launched, the heading control stick 25 of the remote controller 23 is used to send instructions to the aircraft, and the heading of the aircraft is adjusted by using the difference in the rotation speed of the left and right rotors and the front and rear rotors in opposite directions.
