DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the technical solution more clear, the technical solution is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods. It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the technical solution.

[0028] In order to solve the problem that in the prior art manned multi-rotor aircraft, electric-powered aircraft have short flight time, insufficient power, and poor load-bearing capacity, while oil-powered multi-rotor aircraft have poor flight stability and slow response speed, and cannot meet the requirements of quickly controlling the flight attitude of the rotor manned aircraft, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment proposes a manned multi-rotor aircraft based on direct transmission. Specifically, this aircraft includes a fuselage body 1, a canard is arranged at the front of the fuselage body 1, a tail is arranged at the rear, and ailerons are arranged on the left and right sides of the middle of the fuselage body 1, and the total extended length of the ailerons is slightly larger than the canard and the tail. In this embodiment, the canard, the tail and the two ailerons are arranged symmetrically with the central axis of the fuselage body 1 as the center of symmetry. The lift propeller power assembly 3 is symmetrically arranged at the ends of the canard and the tail away from the fuselage body 1, wherein the electric motor 2 in the lift propeller power assembly 3 serves as a power device for driving the propeller to rotate.

[0029] In order to improve the maneuverability of the aircraft, the aileron includes a fixed part and a rotating part. The fixed part is connected to the fuselage body 1, and the rotating part is rotatably connected to the end of the fixed part away from the fuselage body 1. The main rotor assembly 10 is installed on the rotating part; the main rotor assembly 10 can be carried by the rotating part so that the axis of the main rotor assembly 10 can stay and maintain at any angle between horizontal and vertical. In this embodiment, the main rotor assembly 10 is installed in the middle of the rotating part, such as Figure 1 As shown, when the axis of the main rotor assembly 10 is in a horizontal state, the propeller of the main rotor assembly 10 faces the front of the fuselage body 1, and the aircraft is in a cruising state. Figure 2As shown, when the main rotor assembly 10 is driven by the rotating part to be in a vertical state, the axis of the main rotor assembly 10 is perpendicular to the axis of the lift propeller power assembly 3, and the aircraft is in a hovering state.

[0030] Preferably, the fuselage body 1 is provided with a tilt actuator 5, a transmission shaft 501 is installed on the fixed part, and the output end of the tilt actuator 5 is connected to the rotating part through the transmission shaft 501 to drive the rotating part to perform a rotation action.

[0031] Control surfaces are arranged on the ailerons and the tail wing to quickly control the flight attitude of the aircraft. Specifically, the ailerons are provided with aileron control surfaces 12, which are located at the trailing edge of the outer section of the wing in the middle of the fuselage body 1, and the aileron control surfaces 12 on both sides are arranged symmetrically about the central axis of the fuselage body 1. Two horizontal tail control surfaces 13 are arranged on the tail wing, which are located at the trailing edges of both sides of the tail wing, and the horizontal tail control surfaces 13 on both sides are arranged symmetrically about the central axis of the fuselage body 1.

[0032] Preferably, a generator 15 is also provided on the fuselage body 1, and the generator 15 is connected to the output end of the engine 6 and driven by the engine 6 to generate electricity. The generator 15 is electrically connected to the battery pack 14 to charge the battery pack 14. When the engine 6 is running, the engine 6 can drive the two lift propeller power assemblies 3 to operate simultaneously through the transmission mechanism. At the same time, in order to charge the battery pack 14, in this embodiment, the power output end of the generator 15 is also provided with a tail output shaft on the other side of the engine output shaft 7, and the tail output shaft is connected to the input end of the generator 15. Therefore, when the engine 6 is running, the generator 15 can generate electricity, and the electric energy generated by the generator 15 is output to the battery pack 14 to supply power to the battery pack 14.

[0033] Preferably, in order to balance the front and rear weights of the aircraft, the generator 15, the battery pack 14 and the engine 6 are arranged on the fuselage body 1 and between the aileron and the tail wing. The fuselage body 1 also has seats 4, which are arranged between the front wing and the aileron. In this embodiment, there are three seats 4 arranged in an inverted triangular shape.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the transmission mechanism includes two transmission shafts 501, the engine output shaft 7 of the engine 6 is transmission-connected to the first ends of the two transmission shafts 501 through the transfer bevel gear set 8, and the second ends of the transmission shafts 501 are transmission-connected to the main rotor assembly 10 through the transmission bevel gear set 9. The engine output shaft 7 can drive two passive transmission bevel gears through an active transmission bevel gear to form a transfer bevel gear set 8, so that the power is divided into two and transmitted to the two lift propeller power assemblies 3. The transmission is carried out between the transmission shaft 501 and the lift propeller power assembly 3 through the transmission bevel gear set 9.

[0035] The transmission mechanism uses the engine output shaft 7 and the transmission shaft 501 for transmission, which is beneficial to the location of the engine 6 and the adjustment of the center of gravity of the aircraft. The transmission bevel gear set 9 uses bevel gears to change the rotation direction by 90 degrees, which is beneficial to the continuity of the power transmission of the transmission system during the tilting process and the stability of the aircraft flight. It has the advantages of high power density and continuous and stable transmission.

[0036] If the engine 6 stops, the battery and four lift propeller power assemblies 3 provide lift for landing. During the descent process, the main rotors in the main rotor assembly 10 are turned to negative pitch to maintain the speed and maintain the kinetic energy of the main rotors. At a certain height before landing, the two main rotor assemblies 10 are turned to positive pitch to convert the kinetic energy of the main rotor assembly 10 into lift to achieve drifting and reduce the landing speed of the aircraft to a safe range. The speed of the propellers in the main rotor assembly 10 can be obtained through the speed sensor 11.

[0037] The above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, many changes can be made in the specific implementation methods and application scopes based on the ideas of the present technical content. As long as these changes do not deviate from the concept of the present invention, they all fall within the scope of protection of this patent.
