AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the pitch changing mechanism of traditional aerial variable pitch propellers, the threaded structure of the pitch screw and the pitch nut causes axial clearance and radial clearance, which causes the pitch disc to shake unstably during movement, making it impossible to accurately control the pitch angle of the blades, and it is severely worn after long-term use.

Method used

An axially penetrating limit guide hole is set on the pitch variable disk, and a guide column is slidably set in the limit guide hole. The guide column bears the rotational torque, stabilizes the thread gap between the pitch variable nut and the pitch variable lead screw, and combines with linear bearings to reduce the moving resistance of the pitch variable disk and improve the flatness and accuracy of the pitch variable movement.

Benefits of technology

The consistency of the blade angles in the variable-pitch propeller has been improved, and the angle error has been reduced from ±1° to ±0.15°, which has extended the service life and improved mechanical transmission efficiency.

[0002] With the development of science and technology, the flight performance requirement of aircraft is more and more precise, the traditional air pitch change propeller pitch change mechanism is composed of pitch change screw rod, pitch change nut, pitch change disc and pitch change nut, the pitch change nut is embedded in the pitch change disc, as shown in Figure 1 The pitch change hub holds the pitch change screw rod axially to position, the drive drives the pitch change screw rod to rotate uniformly in two directions, the pitch change screw rod drives the pitch change nut to move axially, so that the pitch change disc moves axially, the pitch change disc sliding groove moves axially, drives the pitch change blade pin to move circumferentially to realize pitch change of the blade, as shown in Figure 2 .

[0003] The traditional pitch change screw rod and the pitch change nut need to meet the mechanical self-locking function, so a thread structure is adopted, in the non-working state of the drive, the pitch change disc is in the mechanical self-locking state, the propeller aerodynamic load is applied on the pitch change disc, and the pitch change screw rod will not rotate.

[0004] When the traditional pitch change mechanism rotates the pitch change screw rod, the internal thread of the pitch change nut in the pitch change disc also rotates in the same direction under the action of friction, and can only rely on the pitch change paddle handle root plane to stop rotating, as shown in Figure 3 When the propeller rotates and the pitch changes, the pitch change disc causes scratches on the pitch change paddle handle root plane during displacement, and long-time wear causes pitch change difficulty.

[0005] Based on the above structure, the axial gap and the radial gap of the thread structure of the pitch change screw rod and the pitch change nut will inevitably exist, which will cause the pitch change nut to shake in two directions during movement and be uncontrollable, as shown in Figure 4 When the pitch change nut rotates and the pitch change disc contacts the stop point, the axial gap and the radial gap change unevenly, the pitch change nut tilts to one side, so that the flatness of the pitch change disc during movement cannot be guaranteed, the control of different pitch change angles of the blades is uncontrollable, and the precision is low, the angle error between the blades in a set of pitch change propeller is about ±1°, as shown in Figure 5 .

[0009] Further, the limit guide hole is evenly distributed along the circumference of the variable pitch disc.

[0010] In a second aspect, the utility model provides an air variable pitch propeller, including the stabilizing structure of one aspect.

[0024] Specifically, the variable-pitch nut 4 is nested in the central through hole of the variable-pitch disc 1.

[0025] Specifically, the number of the limiting guide holes is the same as the number of the sliding grooves, that is, three guide columns 2 are needed for a three-blade airscrew, four guide columns 2 are needed for a four-blade airscrew, and so on according to the relationship between the number of the blades and the number of the guide columns; the limiting guide holes are evenly distributed along the circumference of the variable-pitch disc 1.

[0026] Specifically, the limiting guide hole is located between the maximum outer diameter d max and 1 / 2 of the maximum outer diameter d max , and the closer the position of the limiting guide hole to the maximum outer diameter d max , the higher the movement flatness of the variable-pitch disc 1 and the better the variable-pitch precision under the condition that the structural strength of the variable-pitch disc 1 meets the standard.

[0027] Specifically, the diameter of the guide column 2 needs to be calculated according to the propeller aerodynamic load applied to the torque of the variable-pitch disc 1, and needs to meet the condition that the bending deformation of the guide column is not more than 0.1 mm under the condition of double load.

[0033] Variable pitch mechanism stability increasing structure principle:

[0034] The angle error of each blade of a set of variable pitch propellers is caused by the thread gap between the variable pitch lead screw 3 and the variable pitch nut 4, which is divided into a radial gap and an axial gap, and the two-way gap causes the variable pitch disc 1 to tilt during movement. The variable pitch mechanism stability increasing structure stabilizes the axial gap and the radial gap of the thread by preventing the variable pitch disc 1 from rotating, improves the disc flatness during variable pitch movement, and thus controls the angle error of each blade of a set of variable pitch propellers.
