Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gyroscope technology, and in particular to an shaftless gyroscope rotor and the gyroscope thereof. Background Technology

[0002] Gyroscopes are widely used in aviation, aerospace, and marine fields. The different applications of gyroscopes in various fields lead to variations in their structures, but their basic structure consists of a rotating shaft combined with a rotating wheel, which rotates at high speed under the drive of an electric motor or hydraulic motor, thereby generating a sufficiently large angular momentum.

[0003] However, this high-speed rotor has a complex structure, which places high demands on processing and assembly. High-precision bearings are usually required. In addition, the power arrangement and heat dissipation of gyroscopes using this type of rotor are not easy to solve. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of current gyroscope rotors, this utility model provides an shaftless gyroscope rotor and gyroscope, which omits the structure of the rotating shaft, thus facilitating the arrangement of the gyroscope's heat dissipation structure and power structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, an shaftless gyroscope rotor is provided, comprising:

[0007] The outer shell is formed by connecting a first shell and a second shell;

[0008] A shaftless rotating wheel is disposed inside the housing;

[0009] A hydrostatic bearing is installed between the end face of the shaftless rotating wheel and the housing to support the high-speed rotation of the shaftless rotating wheel;

[0010] An external rotor motor includes an external rotor and an inner stator. The external rotor is fixed to the shaftless rotating wheel, and the inner stator is fixed to the second housing, for driving the shaftless rotating wheel to rotate.

[0011] Optionally, the hydrostatic bearings are symmetrically distributed on both ends of the shaftless rotating wheel, and their bearing direction is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the shaftless rotating wheel.

[0012] Optionally, the hydrostatic bearing forms a non-contact lubricating film between the end face of the shaftless rotating wheel and the gyroscope housing using lubricant to reduce frictional losses during rotation.

[0013] Optionally, a heat dissipation channel is provided between the first housing and the second housing.

[0014] Optionally, the outer casing is formed by fastening the first casing and the second casing together with bolts to form a closed cavity.

[0015] Optionally, the first housing and the second housing are connected by at least three evenly distributed bolts.

[0016] Optionally, the inner stator of the motor is fixed to the inside of the second housing by screws.

[0017] Optionally, the outer rotor of the motor is connected to the shaftless rotating wheel by an interference fit or screws.

[0018] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a gyroscope is provided, comprising the aforementioned shaftless gyroscope rotor.

[0019] The advantages of this invention are as follows: Firstly, the traditional rotating shaft is omitted, and an external rotor motor is used, which greatly simplifies the structure of the gyroscope rotor and makes it easier to arrange the heat dissipation and power structures of the gyroscope. Secondly, it can significantly reduce the assembly difficulty of the gyroscope rotor and improve the economic efficiency of manufacturing the gyroscope rotor. Finally, a hydrostatic bearing is used on the end face of the rotating wheel, which greatly reduces the energy consumption of the gyroscope operation and improves the bearing capacity compared with traditional bearings.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, an shaftless gyroscope rotor includes: a housing, formed by connecting a first housing 1 and a second housing 3; a shaftless rotating wheel 4 disposed inside the housing; a hydrostatic bearing 5 installed between the end face of the shaftless rotating wheel 4 and the housing, for supporting the high-speed rotation of the shaftless rotating wheel 4; and an external rotor motor, including an external rotor 7 and an internal stator 8, wherein the external rotor 7 is fixed to the shaftless rotating wheel 4 and the internal stator 8 is fixed to the second housing 3, for driving the shaftless rotating wheel 4 to rotate.

[0026] Specifically, a closed outer shell is formed by bolts 2 connecting the first housing 1 and the second housing 3. The shaftless rotating wheel 4 is supported at its end face by a hydrostatic bearing 5 and is directly driven to rotate at high speed by an external rotor motor to generate the required angular momentum. This eliminates the need for a traditional rotating shaft, simplifies the structure, and reduces problems such as friction, wear, and vibration caused by the shaft system, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the system. The hydrostatic bearing 5 provides good support and lubrication, reducing frictional losses during rotation and helping to improve the rotational efficiency and service life of the shaftless rotating wheel 4. The design of the external rotor motor allows the motor's power output to act directly on the shaftless rotating wheel 4, resulting in high transmission efficiency and fast response speed.

[0027] Example 2:

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, an shaftless gyroscope rotor includes: a housing, formed by connecting a first housing 1 and a second housing 3; a shaftless rotating wheel 4 disposed inside the housing; a hydrostatic bearing 5 installed between the end face of the shaftless rotating wheel 4 and the housing, for supporting the high-speed rotation of the shaftless rotating wheel 4; and an external rotor motor, including an external rotor 7 and an internal stator 8, wherein the external rotor 7 is fixed to the shaftless rotating wheel 4 and the internal stator 8 is fixed to the second housing 3, for driving the shaftless rotating wheel 4 to rotate.

[0029] Specifically, a closed outer shell is formed by bolts 2 connecting the first housing 1 and the second housing 3. The shaftless rotating wheel 4 is supported at its end face by a hydrostatic bearing 5 and is directly driven to rotate at high speed by an external rotor motor to generate the required angular momentum. This eliminates the need for a traditional rotating shaft, simplifies the structure, and reduces problems such as friction, wear, and vibration caused by the shaft system, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the system. The hydrostatic bearing 5 provides good support and lubrication, reducing frictional losses during rotation and helping to improve the rotational efficiency and service life of the shaftless rotating wheel 4. The design of the external rotor motor allows the motor's power output to act directly on the shaftless rotating wheel 4, resulting in high transmission efficiency and fast response speed.

[0030] Furthermore, the hydrostatic bearings 5 ​​are symmetrically distributed on both ends of the shaftless rotating wheel 4, and their bearing direction is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the shaftless rotating wheel 4. This distribution ensures that the supporting force on both ends of the shaftless rotating wheel 4 is uniform during rotation, effectively balancing the radial force generated by the shaftless rotating wheel 4 during high-speed rotation and ensuring its rotational stability.

[0031] Furthermore, the hydrostatic bearing 5 forms a non-contact lubricating film between the end face of the shaftless rotating wheel 4 and the gyroscope housing using lubricant, thereby reducing frictional losses during rotation. Under pressure, the lubricant is delivered into the gap between the shaftless rotating wheel 4 and the housing, forming a continuous liquid film with a certain load-bearing capacity. This prevents direct contact between the shaftless rotating wheel 4 and the housing, thus reducing friction during rotation, minimizing energy loss, improving the rotational efficiency of the shaftless rotating wheel 4, reducing power consumption, extending the service life of both the shaftless rotating wheel 4 and the hydrostatic bearing 5, and lowering maintenance costs.

[0032] Furthermore, a heat dissipation channel is provided between the first housing 1 and the second housing 3. Effective heat dissipation can prevent the shaftless gyroscope rotor from experiencing performance degradation due to excessive temperature, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the system.

[0033] Furthermore, the outer shell is formed by fastening the first housing 1 and the second housing 3 together with bolts 2, creating a closed cavity. This closed cavity provides a good working environment for the internal components, reduces the impact of external factors on the components, and improves the reliability and stability of the system.

[0034] Furthermore, the first housing 1 and the second housing 3 are connected by at least three evenly distributed bolts 2. The evenly distributed bolt connection improves the reliability and stability of the housing connection, ensures the sealing of the enclosed cavity, and can withstand greater external forces and torques.

[0035] Furthermore, the inner stator 8 of the motor is fixed to the inner side of the second housing 3 by screws 6. The tightening action of the screws 6 firmly installs the inner stator 8 of the motor onto the second housing 3, ensuring that the inner stator 8 is fixed in position during operation and will not shift or shake, making the operation of the motor more reliable and improving the working efficiency and performance of the external rotor motor.

[0036] Furthermore, the outer rotor 7 of the motor and the shaftless rotating wheel 4 are connected by an interference fit or screws. The interference fit or screw connection ensures that the outer rotor 7 of the motor and the rotating wheel rotate synchronously, ensuring reliable connection and high torque transmission efficiency.

[0037] Example 3:

[0038] This embodiment provides a gyroscope comprising the aforementioned shaftless gyroscope rotor. The shaftless design results in a compact and lightweight overall structure, and offers advantages such as low overall energy consumption, excellent heat dissipation, and low maintenance costs, making it suitable for precision applications in aviation, aerospace, and marine fields.

[0039] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
