Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a suspension positioning device, in particular to a motor magnetic suspension positioning device for a low-altitude manned electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft. Background Art
[0002] As an emerging means of transportation, the performance of the propulsion system of low-altitude manned aircraft directly impacts the aircraft's reliability, energy efficiency, and safety. Currently, most propeller-driven motors still use traditional mechanical bearings to connect the stator and rotor, relying on physical contact to transmit power. Although this technology is highly mature, it suffers from numerous inherent drawbacks, making it difficult to meet the long-endurance, high-maneuverability, and low-maintenance requirements of modern aircraft. First, mechanical bearings generate significant frictional resistance during operation, leading to energy loss and reduced motor efficiency, which in turn affects the aircraft's endurance. Furthermore, complex operating conditions such as frequent starts and stops and rapid changes in pitch angle increase bearing wear, significantly shortening their service life and necessitating regular maintenance or even replacement, increasing operating costs. More seriously, sudden bearing failure can result in power interruption, threatening flight safety—a significant risk for manned aircraft.
[0003] In order to solve the limitations of bearing technology, magnetic levitation solutions are considered as an alternative. However, existing magnetic levitation technology still has obvious shortcomings. For example, some solutions only achieve radial suspension, but lack axial suspension capabilities, resulting in the rotor contacting and colliding with the stator due to axial thrust offset when the aircraft climbs or dives. Other solutions use passive magnetic levitation design with a fixed magnetic field distribution. It is impossible to adjust the suspension force in real time according to the flight load or external disturbances, which can easily cause rotor instability when the load changes or encounters airflow impact. In addition, some magnetic levitation systems still rely on auxiliary bearings as a protective measure and fail to completely eliminate mechanical contact, and friction problems still exist. More importantly, most existing magnetic levitation systems do not have dynamic adjustment capabilities. When the aircraft switches between vertical take-off and landing and horizontal cruising modes, it is impossible to adaptively adjust the suspension parameters, resulting in increased vibration or unstable flight attitude.
[0004] In addition to the inherent flaws of suspension technology, existing drive motor sealing and protection designs also have shortcomings. While traditional sealing methods (such as rubber seals or mechanical seals) effectively block external dust and moisture, direct contact with the rotating shaft creates additional frictional losses, reducing system efficiency. Non-contact seals (such as labyrinth seals) reduce friction, but improper clearance design can lead to seal failure, rendering them ineffective in humid or dusty environments. This can cause internal short circuits or component corrosion in the motor, impacting long-term reliability.
[0005] In summary, the core problems of current low-altitude manned aircraft drive systems can be summarized as follows: 1) high energy consumption, short lifespan and safety hazards caused by mechanical contact; 2) insufficient dynamic adjustment capabilities of the magnetic levitation system, making it difficult to adapt to complex flight conditions; 3) the protection and sealing design cannot achieve both low friction and high reliability. Summary of the Invention

[0080] Example
[0081] During aircraft operation, the magnetic levitation positioning device dynamically adjusts the magnetic levitation force based on the flight attitude to achieve contactless, stable operation. During takeoff, when the blades are in a vertical position, the control system 4 uses sensors to monitor the rotor 204's attitude in real time and outputs an enhanced current to the axial levitation mechanism 22, creating a high-strength axial magnetic coupling between the permanent magnets at both ends of the stator and the electromagnets in the housing, completely offsetting the axial loads caused by the rotor 204's gravity and takeoff acceleration. During the cruise phase, the blades switch to a horizontal attitude, and the radial levitation mechanism 21 takes control. The circumferentially distributed electromagnets within the housing 1 dynamically adjust the radial magnetic force distribution based on centrifugal force and aerodynamic loads using a closed-loop algorithm, ensuring that the rotor 204 maintains radially centered levitation during high-speed rotation. When the aircraft performs variable-angle maneuvers, the sensor group 41 simultaneously collects multi-dimensional acceleration and air gap magnetic field data. The control system 4 integrates the flight attitude parameters with the dynamic equilibrium state of the rotor 204 to dynamically weight the axial and radial magnetic forces. The current regulation module 44 achieves a smooth transition between the two-axis levitation forces. During the initial landing phase, a low-power suspension state is maintained. As the altitude decreases, the electromagnet excitation current is gradually reduced, and a soft landing is achieved by utilizing the pre-tightened magnetic force between the stator permanent magnet and the rotor 204. Finally, the rotor 204 is stably landed in a safe position by the inherent magnetic attraction of the permanent magnet, thus avoiding mechanical contact and impact damage throughout the entire process.

The motor magnetic levitation positioning device for a low-altitude manned electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft according to claim 1, characterized in that: The sensor group further includes: The Hall sensor is located in the air gap between the stator and the rotor. It is used to detect the radial magnetic flux density distribution of the rotor permanent magnet in real time and compensate for the air gap magnetic field distortion during high-speed flight of low-altitude manned electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft. The accelerometer is fixed to the end of the rotor and is used to collect acceleration data of the rotor in the three axes of X / Y / Z to monitor the flight attitude and participate in the dynamic balance correction of the low-altitude manned electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft during the variable inclination flight; The temperature sensor, embedded in the stator, is used to monitor the motor's operating temperature in real time, providing the current regulation module with a basis for thermal compensation control during high-load flight of low-altitude manned electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft.
