Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of three-bladed propeller technology, and in particular to a folding three-bladed propeller with a self-locking structure. Background Technology

[0002] Three-bladed propellers are used in ships or aircraft as propellers.

[0003] As a power unit for boats or aircraft, a propeller needs to be of a certain length to provide sufficient power. However, when stored, the length of the propeller occupies extra space, making storage inconvenient. Existing technologies include propellers that require bolt removal for storage; however, this method consumes additional space and causes inconvenience to the user.

[0004] Based on the above problems, a folding three-bladed propeller with a self-locking structure is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the main purpose of this utility model is to provide a folding three-bladed propeller with a self-locking structure to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a folding three-bladed propeller with a self-locking structure, comprising an upper end plate and a lower end plate arranged vertically, wherein a plurality of propeller blades are arranged circumferentially between the upper end plate and the lower end plate, and a mounting portion is provided at one end of each propeller blade and mirror-imaged on both ends of the upper end plate and the lower end plate, wherein a fixing block is provided inside the mounting portion, and a sliding groove and a locking groove are respectively provided on the fixing block, wherein a plurality of rotating shafts are arranged between the upper end plate and the lower end plate corresponding to the plurality of propeller blades, and the rotating shafts slide through the sliding grooves, wherein a plurality of upper locking pins are provided at the end of the upper end plate facing the mounting portion corresponding to the plurality of sliding grooves, and a plurality of lower locking pins are provided at the end of the lower end plate facing the mounting portion corresponding to the plurality of sliding grooves.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the groove provides the fixed block with a movable space that does not detach from the rotating shaft.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the movement of the fixing block can cause the locking groove to engage with the upper locking post or the lower locking post.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, one end of the rotating shaft is provided with a threaded section, and one side of the upper end plate is provided with multiple sets of locking nuts for locking the rotating shaft.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the lower end plate has several sets of internal hexagonal screws distributed circumferentially.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the blades are arranged in three groups at a 120-degree angle.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution, its main features are:

[0013] When the device is in operation, the movement of the fixed block drives the movement of the blade, causing the locking groove to engage with the upper or lower locking post, thus achieving self-locking. When storing, the fixed block moves away from the upper or lower locking post, causing the locking groove to disengage from the upper or lower locking post, releasing the self-locking. At this time, the slide groove, in conjunction with the rotating shaft, causes the blade to rotate, folding and storing the device.

[0014] To more clearly illustrate the structural features and effects of this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0023] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly attached to the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model embodiment provides a folding three-bladed propeller with a self-locking structure, including an upper end plate 1 and a lower end plate 2 arranged vertically. Several sets of propeller blades 3 are arranged circumferentially between the upper end plate 1 and the lower end plate 2, with three sets of blades 3 distributed at 120-degree intervals. One end of each blade 3, facing the two end faces of the upper end plate 1 and the lower end plate 2, has a mounting portion 301 mirror-imagely formed. A fixing block 302 is provided inside the mounting portion 301, and the fixing block 302 has a sliding groove 303 and a locking groove 304. Several sets of rotating shafts 4 are arranged between the upper end plate 1 and the lower end plate 2 corresponding to the several sets of propeller blades 3, and the rotating shafts 4 slide through the sliding grooves 303. The rotating shafts 4 are integrally formed with the lower end plate 2. Multiple sets of upper locking posts 101 are provided on the upper end plate 1 facing the mounting portion 301 corresponding to the several sets of sliding grooves 303. One end of 01 corresponds to several sets of sliding grooves 303 with multiple sets of lower locking pins 201. The sliding grooves 303 provide the moving space for the fixing block 302 to not disengage from the rotating shaft 4. The movement of the fixing block 302 can cause the locking groove 304 to engage with the upper locking pin 101 or the lower locking pin 201. When this device is in use, the movement of the fixing block 302 can drive the blade 3 to move, thereby causing the locking groove 304 to engage with the upper locking pin 101 or the lower locking pin 201 to achieve self-locking. When storing, the movement of the fixing block 302 away from the upper locking pin 101 or the lower locking pin 201 causes the locking groove 304 to disengage from the upper locking pin 101 or the lower locking pin 201, releasing the self-locking. At this time, the sliding groove 303, in conjunction with the rotating shaft 4, can cause the blade 3 to rotate, thereby enabling rotational folding and storage.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 6 One end of the rotating shaft 4 is provided with a threaded section. On one side of the upper end plate 1, there are multiple sets of locking nuts 5 for locking the rotating shaft 4. The rotating shaft 4 can be locked between the upper end plate 1 and the lower end plate 2 by screwing the locking nuts 5 and the threaded section provided at one end of the rotating shaft 4.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The lower end plate 2 has several sets of internal hexagonal screws 6 arranged circumferentially. Specifically, there are three sets of internal hexagonal screws 6. The device can be connected and installed with other devices through the internal hexagonal screws 6.

[0027] In summary, when the device is in operation, the movement of the fixed block 302 causes the blade 3 to move, which in turn causes the locking groove 304 to engage with the upper locking post 101 or the lower locking post 201, thus achieving self-locking. When storing, the movement of the fixed block 302 away from the upper locking post 101 or the lower locking post 201 causes the locking groove 304 to disengage from the upper locking post 101 or the lower locking post 201, thus releasing the self-locking. At this time, the sliding groove 303, in conjunction with the rotating shaft 4, causes the blade 3 to rotate, allowing it to be rotated and folded for storage.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
