Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of autogyro pre-rotation mechanisms, in particular to an electric pre-rotation mechanism for an autogyro. Background Technique

[0002] An autogyro is a rotorcraft that uses the relative airflow during forward flight to blow the rotor to rotate automatically to generate lift. When an autogyro takes off, a pre-rotation mechanism is usually required to spin the rotor to shorten the takeoff distance.

[0003] Autogyros usually use engines for pre-rotation. However, the existing autogyro pre-rotation devices are large, occupy a lot of volume and have low pre-rotation efficiency. For example, in the Chinese patent with the patent number 2020232428907, the pre-rotation device used needs a clutch device to be connected to the main shaft of the engine, and the clutch device needs to transmit power to the rotor blades through a transmission mechanism. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] To solve the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an electric pre-rotation mechanism for an autogyro, which has a simple structure and reduces the volume of the autogyro pre-rotation mechanism.

[0005] In an embodiment of the utility model, the following scheme is adopted: an electric pre-rotation mechanism for an autogyro is arranged on the upper part of the fuselage rod of the autogyro. A rotatable rotor seat is arranged at the top of the fuselage rod, and a rotor disc is arranged on the rotor seat. The mechanism further includes a pre-rotation mounting seat, a starting motor, a transmission mechanism and a flywheel. The pre-rotation mounting seat is fixedly arranged on the side of the rotor seat. The starting motor, the transmission mechanism and the flywheel are installed inside the pre-rotation mounting seat. The starting motor drives the flywheel to rotate through the transmission mechanism, and after the flywheel rotates, it meshes with the rotor disc.

[0006] Preferably, the pre-rotation mounting seat is of a box structure, the top of the box is removed, the starting motor and the flywheel are installed at the bottom of the box, and openings are arranged on both sides of the box for tightly fitting with the rotor seat.

[0007] Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a driving wheel, a synchronous wheel, a transmission belt and a tensioning wheel; the starting motor directly drives the driving wheel, the synchronous wheel rotates coaxially with the flywheel, the driving wheel and the synchronous wheel are connected by the transmission belt, and the tensioning wheel abuts against the outer side of the transmission belt.

[0008] Preferably, the starting motor is connected to the flight control computer of the autogyro through a control line via the fuselage rod.

[0009] Advantages of the present utility model: The present utility model directly drives the rotor disc with a starting motor. Compared with the pre-rotation mechanisms of other autogyros, it has a simple structure, is convenient for maintenance and replacement, occupies a small volume, has a greater driving force, and a high driving efficiency. And by the engagement of the flywheel after rotation with the rotor disc, the clutch of the pre-rotation mechanism is simplified. The electric pre-rotation mechanism proposed by the present utility model can be modularly transplanted and installed on autogyros of different models for use. Description of the Drawings
