The elastic buffer balls are made of silicone material. The elastic buffer balls are provided, and the buffer plate will come into contact with it after it drops due to the contraction deformation of the buffer spring, thereby having a further buffering effect, thereby having a better buffering protection effect on the rotating motor.

[0012] Preferably, the surfaces of the male buckle body and the female buckle body are coated with a wear-resistant coating, and the wear-resistant coating is made of epoxy resin material.

[0024] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, a propeller impact protection structure for a model aircraft is provided.

[0025] Embodiment 1;

[0026] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the aircraft model propeller impact protection structure according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a rotating motor 1, a plastic gear 2 is provided at the front end of the rotating motor 1, a propeller base 3 is movably mounted on the surface of the plastic gear 2, a propeller blade 16 is provided on the outside of the propeller base 3, a fairing 4 is provided on the outside of the propeller blade 16, a male buckle body 5 is fixedly connected to the edge of the outer wall of the propeller base 3, a female buckle body 6 is provided on the surface of the plastic gear 2 near the edge, a snap-fit ​​groove 7 is provided in front of the female buckle body 6, and the size of the male buckle body 5 matches the opening size of the snap-fit ​​groove 7.

[0027] In this embodiment, a buffer spring 11 is provided inside the snap-fit ​​groove 7 near the edge, and a buffer pad 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the buffer spring 11. The buffer spring 11 and the buffer pad 8 are provided, so that the snap-fit ​​structure has a certain elasticity, so that it can be automatically released when the propeller blade 16 is hit, avoiding the transmission of the impact force to the rotating motor 1, thereby protecting the rotating motor 1 and the rotating shaft from damage.

[0028] In this embodiment, the bottom of the buffer spring 11 is fixedly connected to a docking sleeve 10, and the bottom inside the clamping groove 7 is fixedly connected to a connecting column 12. The docking sleeve 10 is inserted into the connecting column 12, so that the buffer spring 11 can be movably installed in the clamping groove 7, which makes disassembly and replacement more convenient.

[0029] In this embodiment, magnetic patches 13 are provided on the interior of the docking sleeve 10 and the top surface of the connecting column 12. The two groups of magnetic patches 13 are the same size. By setting up the two groups of magnetic patches 13, the docking stability between the buffer spring 11 and the connecting column 12 is further improved.

[0030] In this embodiment, multiple groups of elastic buffer balls 9 are arranged inside the snap-in groove 7. The elastic buffer balls 9 are located in the middle of the two groups of connecting columns 12. The elastic buffer balls 9 are made of silicone material. The elastic buffer balls 9 are arranged so that the buffer plate 8 will come into contact with it after it drops due to the contraction deformation of the buffer spring 11, thereby having a further buffering effect, thereby having a better buffering protection effect on the rotating motor 1.

[0031] Embodiment 2;

[0032] On the basis of the first embodiment, the preferred embodiment of the propeller impact protection structure provided by the present invention is as follows: Figures 1 to 5 As shown:

[0033] In this embodiment, the surfaces of the male buckle body 5 and the female buckle body 6 are coated with a wear-resistant coating 14, and the wear-resistant coating 14 is made of epoxy resin material. The male buckle body 5 and the female buckle body 6 are both made of plastic material. By setting the wear-resistant coating 14, the hardness and wear resistance of the buckle structure are increased, so that the buckle structure has better structural strength.

[0034] In this embodiment, the surface of the wear-resistant coating 14 is coated with an anti-corrosion coating 15. The anti-corrosion coating 15 is a water-based paint made of highly chlorinated polyethylene. The anti-corrosion coating 15 increases the environmental resistance of the buckle, thereby extending its service life.

[0035] In order to facilitate understanding of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the working principle or operation method of the present invention in actual process is described in detail below.

[0036] In actual application, the propeller base 3 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 7 in front of the female buckle body 6 through the male buckle body 5 on its outer side to dock and assemble it with the plastic gear 2. Since it is a snap-fit ​​connection, the docking and disassembly operations of the two are simplified. When the model aircraft is hit, the male buckle body 5 is forced to move downward inside the snap-fit ​​groove 7, and the male buckle body 5 will contact the buffer plate 8. The buffer plate 8 descends due to the contraction deformation of the buffer spring 11, and then contacts the elastic buffer ball 9, which has an effective buffering effect, so that the propeller blade 16 can be automatically released when it is hit, avoiding the transmission of the impact force to the rotating motor 1, thereby protecting the rotating motor 1 and the rotating shaft from damage. Therefore, the safety of the small model aircraft in the event of an accidental collision is significantly improved, and damage to the rotating motor 1 and the propeller blade 16 is effectively prevented. The surface of the snap-fit ​​structure is coated with a wear-resistant coating 14 and an anti-corrosion coating 15, which increases the structural strength and environmental resistance of the snap-fit ​​structure, giving it a longer service life.

[0037] In summary, with the help of the above-mentioned technical solution of the present invention, the propeller blade 16 is fixed to the rotating motor 1 through a snap connection, replacing the traditional mechanical screw fixing method, simplifying the installation and replacement process of the propeller blade 16, and improving the user experience. Moreover, since the snap structure is easy to disassemble and protect, it can reduce the damage and repair times caused by impact. In conjunction with the buffer pad 8, buffer spring 11 and elastic buffer ball 9, the propeller blade 16 can be automatically released when it is hit, avoiding the transmission of impact force to the rotating motor 1, thereby protecting the rotating motor 1 and the rotating shaft from damage. Therefore, the safety of the small model aircraft in the event of an accidental collision is significantly improved, and damage to the rotating motor 1 and the propeller blade 16 is effectively prevented.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
