Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aerospace engines, and particularly to a swing control engine. Background Art

[0002] Rocket engines consume fuel, and the limited fuel of a rocket traveling in space will eventually run out. According to an accidental discovery during a test experiment: there are differences in stability and precession between the gyro rotor composed of a toroidal rotor and a Y-shaped base and an ordinary gyro rotor. The present invention is a swing control engine that can travel in the vacuum environment of space and only requires electricity consumption based on this difference. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a swing control engine. By changing the included angle between the rotation planes of the toroidal rotor (3) and the Y-shaped base (13), the stability of the gyroscope is made to have different magnitudes, so that the output shaft of the main motor (4) obtains two reaction forces with opposite directions and different magnitudes, thereby generating thrust.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] Swing control engine, characterized in that: the swing control engine includes a thruster body (1) that is stationary in a vacuum weightless state. Inside the thruster body (1), there are multiple gyroscope cabins (2). A main motor (4) is installed at the rear of the gyroscope cabin (2). A conductive slip ring (11) is installed on the output shaft of the main motor (4). The output shaft of the main motor (4) passes through the gyroscope cabin (2) and is fixed to the inner wall of the gyroscope cabin (2). A connecting rod (7) is installed on the output shaft of the main motor (4). Rotor motors (8) are installed at multiple ends of the connecting rod (7). An internal conductive slip ring (18) is installed outside the output shaft of the rotor motor (8). A Y-shaped base (13) is installed on the output shaft of the rotor motor (8). Swing motors (9) are installed on both outer sides of the Y-shaped base (13). The output shafts of the two swing motors (9) are fixedly connected to a double-axis swing motor (10). The two ends of the output shaft of the double-axis swing motor (10) are connected to an annular rotor (3). A bearing is installed at the connection between the double-axis swing motor (10) and the annular rotor (3). The double-axis swing motor (10) and the swing motor (9) are both composed of a metal frame (14), an output shaft (15), an electromagnet (16), and a magnet (17). The electromagnet (16) is installed and fixed to the inner walls of the double-axis swing motor (10) and the swing motor (9). The magnet (17) is fixed to the output shaft (15) through the metal frame (14). The double-axis swing motor (10) and the swing motor (9) are both integrated with angle sensors. After passing through the conductive slip ring (11) and the internal conductive slip ring (18), the wire (12) is fixed to the outer surfaces of the output shaft of the main motor (4) and the connecting rod (7), connecting the main motor (4), the rotor motor (8), the swing motor (9), and the double-axis swing motor (10) to provide power supply and transmit control signals for them. The gyroscope cabin (2) is divided into a large swing stage (5) and a limited swing stage (6). The two stages of the large swing stage (5) and the limited swing stage (6) form a cycle.

[0006] In order to adjust the gyroscopic stability generated by the annular rotor (3) and the Y-shaped base (13), the double-axis swing motor (10) and the swing motor (9) increase or decrease the included angle between the rotating surface of the annular rotor (3) and the Y-shaped base (13).

[0007] In order to obtain a larger upward reaction force when the output shaft of the main motor (4) drives the annular rotor (3) and the Y-shaped base (13) to rotate, the included angle between the rotating surfaces of the annular rotor (3) and the Y-shaped base (13) in the large swing stage (5) becomes larger, and the gyroscopic stability of the annular rotor (3) and the Y-shaped base (13) becomes larger.

[0008] In order to obtain a smaller downward reaction force when the output shaft of the main motor (4) drives the annular rotor (3) and the Y-shaped base (13) to rotate, the included angle between the rotating surfaces of the annular rotor (3) and the Y-shaped base (13) in the restricted swing stage (6) becomes smaller, and the gyroscopic stability of the annular rotor (3) and the Y-shaped base (13) becomes smaller.

[0009] In order to generate an upward thrust when the main motor (4) rotates, the output shaft of the main motor (4) in the enlarged swing stage (5) obtains a larger upward reaction force, and the output shaft of the main motor (4) in the restricted swing stage (6) obtains a smaller downward reaction force. Two reaction forces with opposite directions and different magnitudes are combined to obtain a new upward resultant force, and the direction of the resultant force is the direction of the thrust.

[0010] In order to make the center of gravity of the annular rotor (3) and the double-axis swing motor (10) on the rotation axis of the Y-shaped base (13) when the rotating surface of the annular rotor (3) is inclined, the double-axis swing motor (10) and the swing motor (9) form a cross axis.

[0011] In order to generate the enlarged swing stage (5) and the restricted swing stage (6), the double-axis swing motor (10) and the swing motor (9) increase or decrease the included angle between the rotating surfaces of the annular rotor (3) and the Y-shaped base (13).

[0012] In order to make the gyroscopic stability of the gyro rotor formed by the annular rotor (3) and the Y-shaped base (13) take effect, there is an included angle between the rotating surfaces of the Y-shaped base (13) and the main motor (4). When the main motor (4) drives the Y-shaped base (13) to rotate, the generated precession torque causes an included angle between the rotating surfaces of the annular rotor (3) and the Y-shaped base (13).

[0013] In order to enable the thruster body (1) to complete steering and change the direction of motion, by adjusting the positions of the enlarged swing stage (5) and the restricted swing stage (6) that appear, the direction of the thrust can be adjusted.

[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solutions are as follows: The present invention provides another method and idea different from rocket engines. By controlling the magnitude of the included angle between the rotating surfaces of the annular rotor (3) and the Y-shaped base (13), two reaction forces with opposite directions and different magnitudes can be generated and combined to obtain a new upward resultant force, and the direction of the resultant force is the direction of the thrust, thereby enabling the thruster body (1) to push the spacecraft to navigate in the universe.

[0024] The following will describe in detail the detailed implementation manners of the swing control engine with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 Show the detailed implementation manners and processes of the swing control engine of the present invention:

[0026] Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in Figure 4 , the rotor motor (8) drives the ring rotor (3) to rotate at high speed through the Y-shaped base (13). At this time, the Y-shaped base (13) and the ring rotor (3) are equivalent to a gyro rotor. The rotating surfaces of the Y-shaped base (13) and the ring rotor (3) coincide and are in the same plane. Then the connecting rod (7) starts to rotate, which is equivalent to applying an external force to the gyro rotor composed of the Y-shaped base (13) and the ring rotor (3). ( Figure 5) simultaneously generates a precession torque that causes the rotating surface of the Y-shaped base (13) and the rotating surface of the annular rotor (3) to separate and intersect. At this time, the stability of the gyroscope takes effect, and the connecting rod (7) needs a greater force when rotating, thereby obtaining a greater reaction force. By using the swing motor (9) and the dual-axis swing motor (10) to control the angle between the rotating surface of the Y-shaped base (13) and the rotating surface of the annular rotor (3) when they separate, the stability of the gyroscope generated by the gyroscope rotor composed of the Y-shaped base (13) and the annular rotor (3) can be controlled. After multiple tests, it is found that under the effect of the precession torque, the larger the angle between the rotating surface of the Y-shaped base (13) and the annular rotor (3), the greater the stability of the gyroscope, and the greater the reaction force obtained by the output shaft of the main motor (4); the smaller the angle between the rotating surface of the Y-shaped base (13) and the annular rotor (3) or when the angle is zero, the smaller or no stability of the gyroscope, and the smaller the reaction force obtained by the output shaft of the main motor (4). Test conclusion: The gyroscopic stability of the gyroscopic rotor composed of the Y-shaped base (13) and the annular rotor (3) is proportional to the angle between the rotation planes of the Y-shaped base (13) and the annular rotor (3).

[0027] Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 ,exist Figure 6 and Figure 7 The middle swing motor (9) and the double-shaft swing motor (10) form a cross axis. Figure 5 No matter how the annular rotor (3) is tilted, the center of gravity of the annular rotor (3) and the dual-axis swing motor (10) is still on the rotation axis of the Y-shaped base (13). Figure 6 By means of attraction and repulsion of the electromagnet (16) to the magnet (17), the change in the angle between the Y-shaped base (13) and the rotating surface of the annular rotor (3) can be controlled.

[0028] Figure 2 and Figure 5 ,exist Figure 2 In the swing stage (5), the rotating surfaces of the Y-shaped base (13) and the annular rotor (3) are separated and crossed due to the action of the precession torque ( Figure 5 ), and at the same time, the biaxial swing motor (10) and the swing motor (9) increase the angle of separation and intersection, the gyroscopic stability of the gyroscopic rotor composed of the Y-shaped base (13) and the annular rotor (3) is relatively large, and the main motor (4) drives the connecting rod (7) to rotate to obtain a large upward reaction force. In the limiting swing stage (6), the biaxial swing motor (10) and the swing motor (9) reduce the separation and intersection of the rotating plane of the Y-shaped base (13) and the annular rotor (3). Figure 5) At this angle, the gyroscopic stability of the gyro rotor composed of the Y-shaped base (13) and the annular rotor (3) is relatively small, and the main motor (4) drives the connecting rod (7) to rotate to obtain a relatively small downward reaction force.

[0029] In the process and conclusion of the present invention, the main motor (4) in the gyroscope cabin (2) drives the connecting rod (7) and the rotor motor (8) to rotate through the wire (12) for power supply, and the rotor motor (8) drives the Y-shaped base (13) and the annular rotor (3) to rotate at high speed. In the increasing swing stage (5), the double-axis swing motor (10) and the swing motor (9) use the internal electromagnet (16) to increase the swing amplitude of the metal frame (14) and the magnet (17) by using the magnetic field, thereby increasing the included angle of the rotation planes of the Y-shaped base (13) and the annular rotor (3), increasing the gyroscopic stability of the gyro rotor composed of the Y-shaped base (13) and the annular rotor (3), and at the same time, when the main motor (4) drives the connecting rod (7) to rotate in the increasing swing stage (5), a relatively large upward reaction force is obtained. In the restricted swing stage (6), the double-axis swing motor (10) and the swing motor (9) use the internal electromagnet (16) to reduce the swing amplitude of the metal frame (14) and the magnet (17) by using the magnetic field, thereby reducing the included angle of the rotation planes of the Y-shaped base (13) and the annular rotor (3), reducing the gyroscopic stability of the gyro rotor composed of the Y-shaped base (13) and the annular rotor (3), and at the same time, when the main motor (4) drives the connecting rod (7) to rotate in the restricted swing stage (6), a relatively small downward reaction force is obtained. Two reaction forces with opposite directions and different magnitudes cancel each other out to generate a new upward resultant force, and the direction of the resultant force is the direction of the thrust. The main motor (4) drives the connecting rod (7) to rotate, which can generate an upward thrust on the output shaft of the main motor (4), so that the thruster body (1) can push the spacecraft to navigate in the universe.

[0030] When it is necessary to adjust the flight direction and the turning of the spacecraft, by adjusting the positions of the increasing swing stage (5) and the restricted swing stage (6) that appear, the direction of the thrust generated by the gyroscope cabin (2) can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the flight direction and the turning of the thruster body (1).

[0031] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
