Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric toy technology, and more specifically, to a novel tandem twin-rotor model helicopter. Background Technology
[0002] Early dual-servo designs were primarily used to simplify the complexity of multi-servo systems. Two servos controlled the swashplate's forward / backward and left / right tilt respectively, achieving basic pitch and roll control. However, such designs still relied on mechanical linkages, resulting in low transmission efficiency and response delays.
[0003] A search revealed that publication number CN201419025Y discloses a model helicopter, comprising a main body, a power assembly, a steering mechanism, a tail drive mechanism, an electronic control assembly, a landing gear assembly, a shell, and various fixing components, all fixed to the main body. The steering mechanism includes a main shaft running through the main body, a headstock mounted on the upper end of the main shaft, and a swashplate mounted in the middle of the main shaft. A blade clamp is located at the top of the headstock, securing blades. A balance bar with ailerons fixed at both ends is located in the middle of the headstock, and a steering linkage is fixed at the bottom of the headstock. A steering wheel is fixed inside the swashplate. The steering linkage is connected at both ends to the headstock and the steering wheel, respectively. The power assembly includes a motor, a main motor gear, and a battery. The tail drive mechanism includes a tail motor, a tail drive shaft, a tail motor gear, a tail shaft, a tail gear, and a tail wing. It also includes dual servos and a receiver. It features a simple structure, stable flight, and easy operation. The inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology during the development of this invention:
[0004] Existing model airplanes require dual power sources to drive the propellers on the front and rear sides during play. This results in excessive mass, directly impacting the flight time. Furthermore, while structural changes are often achieved by directly pushing the rods to create swinging motions, this method often requires multiple rods, necessitating complex power sources.
[0005] Therefore, a new type of tandem twin-rotor model helicopter is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

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.
[0034] Example
[0035] As attached Figures 1 to 13The diagram illustrates a novel tandem twin-rotor model helicopter, comprising a fuselage assembly 1, a front propeller assembly 2, and a rear propeller assembly 3. The front propeller assembly 2 is mounted on the upper front end of the fuselage assembly 1. A power source is released through a rear frame assembly 5, driving the rotors of both the front and rear propeller assemblies 2 and 3 to rotate. The rear propeller assembly 3 is located on the side of the front propeller assembly 2. The front propeller assembly 2 includes a front frame assembly 4, and the rear propeller assembly 3 includes a rear frame assembly 5. A gearbox 7 is mounted below the rear frame assembly 5. The rear frame assembly 5 drives the front frame assembly 4 to rotate via a front drive belt 6 connected to the gearbox 7. A rear drive belt 10 connected to a drive motor 9 and the gearbox 7 drives the rear propeller assembly 3 to rotate. Thus, a single drive source powers both the front and rear propeller assemblies 2 and 3, providing power to the model helicopter. A mating gear shaft 2 is installed inside the gearbox 7. 6. A front drive belt 6 is meshed between the front frame assembly 4 and the rear frame assembly 5 via a gearbox 7. A propeller body 12 is mounted on top of the rear frame assembly 5. The propeller body 12 includes a double ball joint connecting rod 16. The front propeller assembly 2 is mounted on top of the front end of the fuselage assembly 1. The power source is released through the rear frame assembly 5 and drives the propeller bodies of the front propeller assembly 2 and the rear propeller assembly 3 to rotate at the same speed through only one drive motor 9. The rear propeller assembly 3 is located on the side of the front propeller assembly 2. Both are supported by the front frame assembly 4 and the rear frame assembly 5. The gearbox 7 installed below the rear frame assembly 5 drives the front frame assembly 4 to rotate through the front drive belt 6. The drive motor 9 is connected to the gearbox 7 through the rear drive belt 10 to drive the rear propeller assembly 3. This realizes the core design of synchronously driving the front and rear propellers through the drive motor 9.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the propeller body 12 includes a swashplate assembly, an inner swashplate 20, a main shaft 22, and a rotor head 23. The inner swashplate 20 is positioned above the swashplate assembly, and the main shaft 22 is inserted into the center of the swashplate assembly. The rotor head 23 is bolted to the top of the main shaft 22. Driven by the servo motor of the corresponding blade, the connected double ball joint rod 16 drives the outer swashplate 18 to move. When the servo motor is activated, the double ball joint rod 16 pulls or pushes the outer swashplate 18, causing it to tilt or translate. The movement of the outer swashplate 18 is transmitted through the inner swashplate 20. The blade is handed over to the blade clamp assembly 24, which ultimately changes the blade pitch. The pitch is the angle between the blade and the plane of rotation. The blade clamp assembly 24 is mounted on the shaft of the rotor head 23.

The inclined outer disk guide rod 1802 on the inclined outer disk 18 is installed in the inclined outer disk guide groove 1503 of the servo mounting bracket 15. The front propeller assembly 2 and the rear propeller assembly 3 are each equipped with two servos, for a total of four servos. Each propeller group adopts a dual servo control structure, and the periodic pitch and collective pitch control of the propeller are achieved through the cooperation of the dual servos.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the double ball joint 16 includes a frame 1601, an upper ball joint hole 1602, and a lower ball joint hole 17. The shape of the frame 1601 is adjustable, but it is specifically connected to the inclined inner disk ball joint 21 of the inclined inner disk 20 through two sets of upper ball joint holes 1602. The lower ball joint hole 17 provided at the bottom of the frame 1601 is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor. The top of the frame 1601 is provided with two sets of upper ball joint holes 1602, and the lower ball joint hole 17 is installed at the end of the frame 1601 away from the two sets of upper ball joint holes 1602. The frame 1601 of the double ball joint 16 is connected to the inclined inner disk ball joint 21 of the inclined inner disk 20 through the upper ball joint hole 1602, while the lower ball joint hole 17 is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor. Therefore, when the servo motor is driven, the double ball joint 16 is driven by the output shaft of the servo motor, thereby adjusting the angle between the blade and the blade clamp assembly 24.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the rear frame assembly 5 further includes a rear frame 8, a drive motor 9, a rear transmission belt 10, and a connecting bottom ring 11. The rear frame 8 is mounted on top of the gearbox 7, and the drive motor 9 is installed inside the rear frame 8. The rear frame assembly 5 uses the rear frame 8 to place the drive motor 9, and the output end of the drive motor 9 is inserted into the interior of the gearbox 7. Then, the drive motor 9 is connected to the front driven pulley 25 and the second drive disc 27 of the front propeller assembly 2 and the rear propeller assembly 3 through the meshing front transmission belt 6 and the rear transmission belt 10. A connecting bottom ring 11 is provided on the side of the drive motor 9, and the rear transmission belt 10 is sleeved below the connecting bottom ring 11.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the rear frame assembly 5 further includes a left servo motor 13, a right servo motor 14, and a servo motor mounting bracket 15. The left servo motor 13 and right servo motor 14 are two servos controlling the front propeller assembly 2. The right servo motor 14 is located on the side of the left servo motor 13, and the servo motor mounting bracket 15 is located on the side of the left servo motor 13 away from the right servo motor 14. The power source for driving the propeller blades to change pitch is the corresponding dual servo motor. The left servo motor 13 and right servo motor 14 are the two servos controlling the front propeller assembly 2, and the power source for driving the propeller blades to oscillate is the left servo motor 13 and right servo motor 14. The output ends of 14 are connected to the lower ball joint hole 17 of the double ball joint connecting rod 16, and the output ends of the left servo 13 and the right servo 14 are connected to the Z-shaped shaft for connection with the lower ball joint hole 17 of the double ball joint connecting rod 16. When the left servo 13 or the right servo 14 is driven, the double ball joint connecting rod 16 connected to its output end drives the inclined outer disk 18 to move upward and drives the inclined inner disk 20 to move upward. At this time, the propeller clamp assembly 24 connected to the inclined inner disk ball joint 21 on the inclined inner disk 20 rotates along the shaft on the front driven pulley 25 and drives the propeller blade connected to the propeller clamp assembly 24 to rotate along the shaft.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the drive motor 9 includes a power motor 901, a pulley fixing screw 902, a rear drive pulley side cover 903, a connecting piece 904, a second bearing 905, a rear drive pulley shaft 906, a reversing drive gear 907, and a fourth bearing 908. The output end of the power motor 901 is equipped with the rear drive pulley side cover 903, which is connected to the rear drive belt 10. The pulley fixing screw 902 is connected to the internal groove of the rear drive pulley side cover 903, and the pulley fixing screw 902 is used for the connecting piece 904 for the upper gear connection. The connecting piece 904 is installed at the bottom end of the rear drive pulley side cover 903, and a section is provided below the connecting piece 904. There is a second bearing 905, which drives the rear drive pulley shaft 906 to rotate. The rear drive pulley shaft 906 is inserted into the lower part of the second bearing 905. The rear drive pulley shaft 906 is used to connect the reversing drive gear 907, which is connected to the front drive belt 6. The rear drive pulley shaft 906 and the reversing drive gear 907 are connected and rotate through the second bearing 905. The reversing drive gear 907 is mounted on the outer diameter surface of the rear drive pulley shaft 906, and a fourth bearing 908 is installed inside the reversing drive gear 907. The rear drive pulley shaft 906 and the reversing drive gear 907 are rotatably connected through the fourth bearing 908.
[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the servo mounting bracket 15 includes a servo mounting plate 1501, a housing mounting post 1502, and an inclined outer disk guide groove 1503. The housing mounting posts 1502 are installed on both sides of the servo mounting plate 1501. The servo mounting plate 1501 is connected to the housing through the housing mounting posts 1502. The inclined structure formed by the structure connected to the inclined outer disk 18 provides guidance and limiting function when tilting or translating. The top of the servo mounting plate 1501 is equipped with an inclined outer disk guide groove 1503. The inclined outer disk guide groove 1503 has a groove at the center of the plate body for connecting with the limiting post of the inclined outer disk 18 and limiting the inclined outer disk 18. This allows the inclined outer disk 18 to slide up and down along the main shaft 22 without rotating in the circumferential direction.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment, a front driven pulley 25 is installed below the front frame assembly 4, and a second drive disc 27 is installed below the rear frame assembly 5.

The outer bearing 2604 is installed on the outer diameter surface of the reversing driven gear shaft 2603, and the front driven pulley ring 2605 is installed below the outer bearing 2604.
[0044] The working process of this utility model is as follows: First, the drive motor 9 is released through the rear frame assembly 5. Through the transmission of the gearbox 7, the front drive belt 6, and the rear drive belt 10, it synchronously drives the propellers of the front propeller assembly 2 and the rear propeller assembly 3 to rotate at the same speed, providing lift and thrust for the model aircraft. Flight control is achieved by manipulating the dual servos of the front propeller assembly 2 and the rear propeller assembly 3. These servos drive the tilting outer disk 18 to move through the double ball joint 16, thereby changing the propeller pitch. When ascending, the drive motor is increased... The rotational speed of the 9th rotational speed causes the drive gearbox 7 to drive the front drive belt 6 and the rear drive belt 10 to increase the rotational speed of the front and rear propellers, thereby increasing lift and causing the helicopter to rise. Conversely, the model aircraft will descend. Then, by adjusting the pitch, the two sets of servos that control the front and rear propellers in the same direction will drive the tilting outer disk 18 to move upward as a whole through the double ball joint 16, thereby increasing the pitch between the propeller clamp assembly 24 and the connected blades to increase lift and cause the model aircraft to rise. When the operation is reversed, the tilting outer disk 18 will move downward as a whole to decrease the pitch, thereby decreasing lift and causing the model aircraft to descend.
[0045] When flying forward or backward, the front propeller assembly 2 and the rear propeller assembly 3 are driven to rotate at the same speed by the same drive motor 9. Then, the dual servo motors of the front propeller assembly 2 are individually controlled to reduce the pitch of the blades connected to the blade clamp assembly 24, thus reducing lift. At the same time, the dual servo motors of the rear propeller are individually controlled to increase the blade pitch, thus increasing lift. The action of the servo motors drives the tilting outer disks 18 in the front propeller assembly 2 and the rear propeller assembly 3 to produce differentiated translational movements through the double ball joints 16. The tilting outer disk 18 of the front propeller assembly 2 moves downward, while the tilting outer disk 18 of the rear propeller assembly 3 moves upward, causing the blades to collectively change pitch. At this time, the lift difference between the front propeller assembly 2 and the rear propeller assembly 3 forms a pitching moment. At this time, the forward lift of the model aircraft is small, and the nose drops, causing the model aircraft to fly forward. Conversely, the pitch of the front propeller increases and the lift increases, while the pitch of the rear propeller decreases and the lift decreases, thus enabling the helicopter to fly backward.
[0046] When left or right flight or lateral flight is required, the left and right servos of the front propeller and the rear propeller move synchronously. Through the double ball joint 16, the tilting outer disk 18 tilts synchronously to the left or right, causing the propeller blades to perform cyclic pitch changes. This tilts the propeller's plane of rotation, generating a lateral force, which in turn changes the lift in the left and right directions, enabling the helicopter to fly left or right. To achieve left or right turns and yaw operations on the model aircraft, the same drive motor 9 drives both the front and rear propellers to rotate at the same speed. The system independently controls the left and right servos of the front propeller to change its collective pitch, and simultaneously controls the servo group of the rear propeller to change its collective pitch. At this time, the servo action drives the front and rear tilting outer disks 18 to produce differentiated translational motion through the double ball joint 16, thereby causing the propeller blades to perform differentiated collective pitch changes. At this time, the propeller speed is the same, but the pitch is different, resulting in different counter torques. When the counter torques of the front and rear propellers are not equal, the model immediately generates a net torque around the vertical axis of the fuselage, realizing the helicopter turning left or right. The above is the working principle of this new type of tandem twin-rotor model helicopter.
