DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0015] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] Embodiment: AsFigures 1-3 As shown in the figure, the utility model provides a hub suitable for eVTOL rotors, which includes a hub body 1 and rotors 2. The rotors 2 are distributed in an annular array and are located outside the hub body 1. A connecting piece 5 is fixedly arranged at one end of the rotor 2 close to the hub body 1. Connecting seats 4 distributed in an annular array are installed on the outside of the hub body 1. An adjusting assembly 3 is arranged between the connecting piece 5 and the hub body 1; the adjusting assembly 3 includes a threaded rod 31 and a moving rod 32. The moving rods 32 are distributed in an annular array. One end of the moving rod 32 movably penetrates the hub body 1. A moving ring 33 is sleeved on the outside of the threaded rod 31. Rotating connecting rods 34 distributed in an annular array are installed on the outside of the moving ring 33. One end of the connecting rod 34 is rotatably connected to one end of the moving rod 32. A fixing block 35 is fixedly arranged on the outside of the connecting piece 5. A through groove 36 is opened on the outside of the fixing block 35. One end of the moving rod 32 is movably inserted into the through groove 36. By driving the moving ring 33 to move upward through the threaded rod 31, the connecting rod 34 is driven by the moving ring 33 to rotate along the connection point, so that the moving rod 32 moves away from the threaded rod 31. The moving rod 32 drives the fixing block 35 to move. The fixing block 35 drives the rotor 2 to move through the connecting seat 4, thereby adjusting the distance between the rotors 2. In this way, the situation that the rotors 2 are inconvenient to adjust can be avoided. A groove 37 is opened on the inner wall of the through groove 36. A limiting block 38 is slidably clamped on the inner wall of the groove 37. A slot 39 is opened at one end of the moving rod 32. One end of the limiting block 38 is movably inserted into the slot 39. The moving rod 32 can be fixed by inserting the limiting block 38 into the slot 39. A support plate 310 is rotatably installed at the top end of the threaded rod 31. A motor 311 is fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the support plate 310. The end of the output shaft of the motor 311 movably penetrates the support plate 310 and is fixedly connected to the top end of the threaded rod 31. The motor 311 can be conveniently installed through the support plate 310. The motor 311 can provide power for the rotation of the threaded rod 31. A pull rod 313 movably penetrates the top end of the fixing block 35. One end of the pull rod 313 is inserted into the groove 37 and is fixedly connected to the top end of the limiting block 38. The limiting block 38 can be conveniently moved through the pull rod 313. Symmetrically distributed first springs 312 are fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the groove 37. One end of the first spring 312 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting block 38. The limiting block 38 is driven to reset by the elastic force of the first spring 312. A pull plate 314 is fixedly arranged at the top end of the pull rod 313. The pull rod 313 can be conveniently moved through the pull plate 314. A limiting disk 315 is fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the threaded rod 31. The moving ring 33 can be limited through the limiting disk 315.

[0017] A positioning plate 316 is fixedly arranged on the outer side of the moving rod 32. A guiding groove 317 is formed on the outer side of the positioning plate 316. A fixing rod 318 slidably penetrates through the outer side of the guiding groove 317. One end of the fixing rod 318 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hub body 1. By driving the positioning plate 316 to move through the moving rod 32, the positioning plate 316 moves stably on the fixing rod 318 through the guiding groove 317.

[0018] Working principle: First, the connecting piece 5 is clamped onto the connecting seat 4, and the connecting piece 5 is moved so that one end of the moving rod 32 movably penetrates through the through groove 36. Through the extrusion force of the inclined surface of the moving rod 32 on the inclined surface of the limiting block 38, the limiting block 38 is moved into the groove 37. At the same time, the limiting block 38 compresses the first spring 312, causing the first spring 312 to generate an elastic force. The first spring 312 drives the limiting block 38 to move through the elastic force, so that the limiting block 38 is inserted into the slot 39 to fix the moving rod 32, which can facilitate the installation of the rotor 2.

[0019] When the distance between the rotors 2 needs to be adjusted, the motor 311 is started, causing the motor 311 to start working. The end of the output shaft of the motor 311 drives the threaded rod 31 to rotate. The threaded rod 31 drives the moving ring 33 to move upward. The moving ring 33 drives the connecting rod 34 to rotate along the connection point, causing the moving rod 32 to move away from the threaded rod 31. At the same time, the moving rod 32 drives the positioning plate 316 to move. The positioning plate 316 moves stably on the fixing rod 318 through the guiding groove 317. Then, the moving rod 32 drives the fixing block 35 to move. The fixing block 35 drives the rotor 2 to move through the connecting seat 4, thereby adjusting the distance between the rotors 2, which can avoid the situation where the rotors 2 are inconvenient to adjust, so as to achieve the purpose of facilitating the adjustment of stability.

[0020] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalent technologies, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
