Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of aviation models, in particular to an improved structure of a spherical vector nozzle. Background Art
[0002] Existing jet model aircraft have nozzles installed inside that cannot rotate, resulting in a fixed direction of the ejected airflow and poor maneuverability. For example, in a modified structure of a spherical vectoring nozzle, as disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN209942967U, a rotating nozzle rotates within a fixed nozzle, allowing the jet model aircraft to arbitrarily change the direction of the airflow ejected, thereby improving the aircraft's maneuverability and enabling it to perform maneuvers not possible with existing model aircraft, achieving the purpose of thrust vectoring. However, in this patent, because the rotating nozzle rotates within the fixed nozzle, its rotational range is limited, preventing it from completing a wide range of flight scenarios. Furthermore, when the rotating nozzle is within the fixed nozzle, a step is formed between the rotating nozzle and the fixed nozzle, obstructing the flow. This influences the rotation of the rotating nozzle, thus reducing its maneuverability. Utility Model Content

[0028] See also Figure 1-9 As shown, the utility model relates to an improved structure of a spherical vector nozzle. The spherical vector nozzle 100 is mainly used on a jet model aircraft 200. It includes a fixed nozzle 1, a rotating nozzle 2 and an inner guide ring 3. The fixed nozzle 1 includes a fixed portion 11 and a first spherical portion 12. The fixed portion 11 is connected to the first spherical portion 12. A first flow channel 14 is provided in the fixed nozzle 1. The first flow channel 14 passes through the fixed portion 11 and the first spherical portion 12. The inner wall of the first spherical portion 12 is provided with a first spherical groove 13 that matches the inner guide ring 3. The inner guide ring 3 is arranged in the first spherical groove 13; the rotating nozzle 2 includes an air injection portion 21 and a second spherical portion 22, the air injection portion 21 is connected to the second spherical portion 22, and a second flow channel 24 is provided in the rotating nozzle 2, the second flow channel 24 passes through the air injection portion 21 and the second spherical portion 22, and the inner wall of the second spherical portion 22 is provided with a second spherical groove 23 that matches the first spherical portion 12; the first spherical portion 12 can be rollably connected to the second spherical groove 23, so that the first flow channel 14 and the second flow channel 24 are connected, and the rotating nozzle 2 is rotatably arranged on the fixed nozzle 1.
[0029] To facilitate assembly of the spherical vectoring nozzle 100, in this embodiment, the fixed nozzle 1 includes a fixed nozzle upper cover 16 and a fixed nozzle lower cover 17. The fixed nozzle upper cover 16 is mounted on the fixed nozzle lower cover 17. The rotating nozzle 2 includes a rotating nozzle upper cover 26 and a rotating nozzle lower cover 27. The rotating nozzle upper cover 26 is mounted on the rotating nozzle lower cover 27. The inner guide ring 3 includes an inner guide ring upper cover 31 and an inner guide ring lower cover 32. The inner guide ring upper cover 31 is mounted within the inner nozzle 16, and the inner guide ring lower cover 32 is mounted within the inner nozzle 17.
[0030] To assemble the spherical vectoring nozzle 100, the inner guide ring upper cover 31 is glued into the first spherical groove 13 of the inner nozzle 16, and the guide ring lower cover 32 is glued into the first spherical groove 13 of the inner nozzle 17. The fixed nozzle upper cover 16 is placed on the fixed nozzle lower cover 17 and tightened with screws. Then, the first spherical portion 12 of the fixed nozzle 1 is placed in the second spherical groove 23 of the rotating nozzle lower cover 27. The rotating nozzle upper cover 26 is placed on the rotating nozzle lower cover 27 and tightened with screws, completing the assembly of the spherical vectoring nozzle 100.
[0031] In the present invention, the outer surface of the first spherical portion 12 has the same curvature as the wall of the second spherical groove 23, and the wall of the second spherical groove 23 fits the outer surface of the first spherical portion 12. At the same time, the center positions of the first spherical portion 12 and the second spherical portion 22 are consistent. The second spherical groove 23 can rotate 360 degrees along the first spherical portion 12, so that the rotating nozzle 2 can achieve vector deflection outside the fixed nozzle 1.
[0032] To prevent the rotating nozzle 2 from overtraveling during vector deflection of the fixed nozzle 1, the second spherical portion 22 of the rotating nozzle lower cover 27 is further provided with a guide groove 25, and the first spherical portion 12 of the fixed nozzle lower cover 17 is provided with a positioning block 15 that can slide along the guide groove 25. When the rotating nozzle 2 is placed on the fixed nozzle 1, the positioning block 15 is engaged in the guide groove 25. When the rotating nozzle 2 is installed on the fixed nozzle 1, the positioning block 15 slides along the guide groove 25, thereby limiting the rotational position of the rotating nozzle 2 and providing guidance.
[0033] Furthermore, the rotating nozzle lower cover 27 is provided with a pair of swing arms 28. These swing arms 28 are respectively disposed on the outer surface of the second spherical portion 22 of the rotating nozzle lower cover 27 and are radially distributed in at least two different directions. The swing arms 28 are hingedly connected to the pull rod 4, which is connected to the steering gear 5. In this embodiment, the steering gear 5 controls the pull rod 4 to swing back and forth, and the pull rod 4 pulls the swing arms 28 to swing back and forth, thereby controlling the rotating nozzle 2 to achieve horizontal or vertical rotation, thereby changing the orientation of the rotating nozzle 2.
[0034] The present invention relates to an improved structure of a spherical vector nozzle. In the present invention, the rotating nozzle 2 is rotated outside the fixed nozzle 1. The outer surface of the first spherical portion 12 has the same curvature as the wall of the second spherical groove 23. The wall of the second spherical groove 23 fits the outer surface of the first spherical portion 12, so that the second spherical groove 23 can rotate 360 degrees along the first spherical portion 12, thereby increasing the rotation amplitude in a smaller space and increasing the ability of the model aircraft 200 to change the flight direction.
[0035] In the present invention, since the rotating nozzle 2 is outside the fixed nozzle 1, there is no step between the rotating nozzle 2 and the fixed nozzle 1 to block the fluid, which solves the problem of fluid obstruction inside the vector nozzle, thereby effectively improving the flight speed of the aircraft and the maneuverability of the rotating nozzle 2 when rotating.
[0036] The above embodiments are merely descriptions of preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary engineering technicians in this field should fall within the scope of protection determined by the claims of the present invention.
