Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and specifically provides an injection-molded UAV propeller. Background Technology

[0002] As a key component for drone flight, the structural stability, strength, and manufacturing process of drone propellers have a significant impact on drone performance. Traditional drone propellers have certain shortcomings in production and structural design. For example, the connection reliability between the blades and rigid components is not good, and the positioning accuracy of the rigid body is difficult to guarantee during injection molding. This affects the overall performance and service life of the propeller, and cannot well meet the high strength, high stability, and efficient production requirements of drone propellers.

[0003] Therefore, how to design a new injection-molded propeller structure for drones is a technical problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a drone injection-molded propeller that is low in cost, lightweight, high in strength, and stable in performance to address the existing problems.

[0005] This application provides an injection-molded propeller for a drone, including a blade and a rigid body. The rigid body includes multiple protruding structures, a shaft hole, a through-hole end face, and a mating groove. During injection molding, the rigid body is first placed in the injection mold of the blade, and the blade is directly injection molded and wrapped around the rigid body. The blade and the rigid body are fixedly connected by the mating groove.

[0006] Preferably, the rigid body is positioned within the injection mold through the protruding structure and the shaft hole.

[0007] Preferably, the rigid body is a carbon fiber composite material.

[0008] Preferably, the rigid body is embedded inside the blade near the root.

[0009] Preferably, the protrusion structure includes a first protrusion structure and a second protrusion structure, wherein the first protrusion structure is disposed at the first root of the rigid body, and the second protrusion structure is disposed at the second root of the rigid body.

[0010] Preferably, the shaft hole is located at the first root portion.

[0011] Preferably, the first protrusion structure is evenly distributed around the side of the shaft hole at the first root.

[0012] Preferably, the second protrusion structure is evenly distributed on the upper and lower sides of the second root of the rigid body.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution disclosed in this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) Improved connection stability: The blades and the rigid body are fixedly connected by a joint groove, and the rigid body is made of carbon fiber composite material. This connection method and material selection greatly improves the stability and reliability of the connection between the blades and the rigid body, so that the propeller can maintain structural integrity under high-speed rotation and other working conditions, and is not prone to loosening and other problems, thereby ensuring the stability of the UAV flight.

[0015] (2) Precise and reliable positioning: With the help of the protruding structure and shaft hole of the rigid body itself, precise positioning is achieved in the injection mold, which effectively avoids the rigid body from shifting during the injection process, ensuring that the structure of each produced propeller is consistent and improving the production quality and yield of the product.

[0016] (3) Performance optimization: The rigid body made of carbon fiber composite material is lightweight and high-strength. It is embedded in the blade near the root, which can effectively strengthen the blade root, improve the overall strength and fatigue resistance of the propeller, and control the overall weight of the propeller. This helps the UAV achieve longer endurance and more flexible flight, thus optimizing the flight performance of the UAV. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 This application provides an injection-molded propeller for a drone. The propeller includes blades 1 and a rigid body 2. In a preferred embodiment, the blades 1 may be multiple, but only one is shown in this application as an example.

[0026] Specifically, the rigid body 1 includes multiple protruding structures (including a first protruding structure 21 and a second protruding structure 24), a shaft hole 22, a shaft hole end face 23, and a mating groove 25.

[0027] In this embodiment, the rigid body 2 is embedded in the root of the blade 1, and the shaft hole 22 at the root of the rigid body replaces the shaft hole of the blade 1. At the same time, a connecting groove 25 structure is designed at the end of the rigid body.

[0028] In the specific manufacturing process, during injection molding, the rigid body 2 is first placed inside the injection mold of the blade 1. The blade is then directly injection molded and wrapped around the rigid body 2. The blade 1 and the rigid body 2 are fixedly connected by a connecting groove 25. Specifically, the rigid body is made of carbon fiber composite material, and its surface has 8-12 protruding structures. The outer surface geometry of the protruding structures is equivalent to the corresponding geometry of the blade 1. Before injection molding, the rigid body 2 is placed in the injection mold of the blade 1. The protruding structures on the surface of the rigid body 2 and the central shaft hole are used to position the rigid body 2 in the mold and fix it inside the mold. After injection molding is completed, the rigid body 2 is embedded inside the blade 1.

[0029] This application embeds a rigid body inside, especially at the root, of a conventional injection-molded propeller blade, resulting in higher strength and better performance of the injection-molded propeller blade.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, four first protrusions 21 and one shaft hole 22 are evenly distributed on the side of the first root of the rigid body 2, and eight second protrusions are evenly distributed on the upper and lower sides of the second root. Through the above structure, the rigid body 2 can be completely positioned in the injection mold of the blade 1.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, after the rigid body 2 is formed, it is embedded inside the blade 1. The first protrusion structure 21, the second protrusion structure 24, the shaft hole 22 and the shaft hole end face 23 will replace the corresponding positions of the blade 1. Therefore, the blade 1 is embedded in the connecting groove 25, making the overall connection more reliable. Among them, the through hole end face 23 refers to the two end faces of the shaft hole 22 at the first root of the rigid body 2.

[0032] Specifically, the rigid body 2 of this application has a higher overall strength than the blade 1. Embedding the rigid body 2 inside the blade 1 can enhance the rigidity and strength of the injection-molded blade. At the same time, replacing the shaft hole of the blade 1 with the shaft hole 22 of the rigid body 2 can enhance the strength of the shaft hole of the injection-molded blade 1, and increase the service life and performance of the blade 1. Finally, the connecting groove 25 structure at the second root of the rigid body 2 can better connect the rigid body 2 with the blade 1, and the force of the blade 1 can be better transmitted to the rigid body 2 during operation.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution disclosed in this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0034] (1) Improved connection stability: The blades and the rigid body are fixedly connected by a joint groove, and the rigid body is made of carbon fiber composite material. This connection method and material selection greatly improves the stability and reliability of the connection between the blades and the rigid body, so that the propeller can maintain structural integrity under high-speed rotation and other working conditions, and is not prone to loosening and other problems, thereby ensuring the stability of the UAV flight.

[0035] (2) Precise and reliable positioning: With the help of the protruding structure and shaft hole of the rigid body itself, precise positioning is achieved in the injection mold, which effectively avoids the rigid body from shifting during the injection process, ensuring that the structure of each produced propeller is consistent and improving the production quality and yield of the product.

[0036] (3) Performance optimization: The rigid body made of carbon fiber composite material is lightweight and high-strength. It is embedded in the blade near the root, which can effectively strengthen the blade root, improve the overall strength and fatigue resistance of the propeller, and control the overall weight of the propeller. This helps the UAV achieve longer endurance and more flexible flight, thus optimizing the flight performance of the UAV.
