Description

Technical Field

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and onboard program control devices. From a technical perspective, they can be divided into several categories: unmanned helicopters, unmanned hexacopter aircraft, unmanned multi-rotor aircraft, unmanned airships, and unmanned paragliders.

[0003] In the existing technology, the traditional transmission components of drone rotors are driven by electric motors to rotate the drone rotors. This direct drive method of rotor rotation places high demands on the motor. If conventional motors are used, the stability of the motor output shaft will deteriorate after long-term use. At the same time, the motor speed directly determines the rotor speed, resulting in low transmission efficiency. Therefore, we propose a drone transmission component. Utility Model Content

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a drone transmission component, including a housing 1, transmission components 2 and heat dissipation components 6. The upper surface of the housing 1 is provided with uniformly distributed oiling ports 3. The upper surface of the housing 1 is fixedly connected to a cover plate 4 by screws. The outer arc surface of the housing 1 is provided with uniformly distributed side clearance openings 5. The lower surface of the housing 1 is fixedly connected with uniformly distributed mounting feet 7. The upper surface of the mounting feet 7 is provided with threaded holes respectively.

[0023] Transmission component 2 includes a drone propeller mounting shaft 21, a first gear 22, a motor mounting shaft 23, a planetary gear carrier 24, and second gears 25. The drone propeller mounting shaft 21 is located in the middle of the upper side wall of the housing 1. The lower end of the drone propeller mounting shaft 21 is fixedly connected to the first gear 22. The lower side wall of the housing 1 is provided with the motor mounting shaft 23. The upper end of the motor mounting shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the planetary gear carrier 24. The upper and lower inner walls of the planetary gear carrier 24 are rotatably connected to evenly distributed second gears 25. The three second gears 25 mesh with one first gear 22. Component 2 also includes a gear ring 26, which is fixedly connected to the lower side wall of the housing 1. Three second gears 25 mesh with one gear ring 26. Support bearings are fixedly connected to the outer arc surface of the UAV propeller mounting shaft 21 and the outer arc surface of the motor mounting shaft 23, respectively. The outer ring surfaces of the outer arc surfaces of the two support bearings are fixedly connected to the inner wall of one of the housing 1 (wherein, the UAV propeller mounting shaft 21 is fixedly sleeved with the inner wall of the corresponding support bearing, and the outer ring surface of the support bearing is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular hole one opened in the middle of the upper surface of the housing 1, while the motor mounting shaft 23 is fixedly sleeved with the inner wall of the corresponding support bearing). The outer ring surface of the support bearing is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second circular hole in the middle of the lower surface of the housing 1. When the transmission component is needed, the housing 1 can be installed into the drive position of the drone through the threaded holes on the mounting feet 7 and the external screws. Then, the lower end of the motor mounting shaft 23 is fixed to the output shaft of the drone's brushless motor, and the drone's propeller is installed onto the upper end of the drone propeller mounting shaft 21. When the drone needs to start, the output shaft of the drone's brushless motor rotates, thereby driving the motor mounting shaft 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the planetary gear carrier 24 to rotate around the motor. The central axis of the mounting shaft 23 rotates, during which the three second gears 25 rotate around the central axis of the motor mounting shaft 23. The three second gears 25 maintain a meshing relationship with the gear ring 26. When the three second gears 25 revolve around the central axis of the motor mounting shaft 23, they will also rotate on their own axis (the number of teeth of the second gear 25 is thirty times the number of teeth of the first gear 22), and the three second gears 25 rotate in the same direction. At this time, the first gear 22 will be driven to rotate, which in turn will drive the drone propeller mounting shaft 21 to rotate at high speed, and drive the drone propeller to rotate at high speed.

[0024] Heat dissipation component 6: Heat dissipation component 6 includes a heat transfer plate 61, connecting copper sheets 62, and heat dissipation fins 63. The connecting copper sheets 62 are respectively fixedly connected to the interior of the four side clearance openings 5. The ends of the four connecting copper sheets 62 facing the center of the housing 1 are respectively fixedly connected to the heat transfer plate 61 (the heat transfer plate 61 is an arc-shaped copper sheet, and the arc surfaces of these four arc-shaped copper sheets are in close contact with the outer arc surface of the toothed ring 26). The arc surfaces of the four heat transfer plates 61 are in contact with the outer arc surface of one toothed ring 26. The ends of the four connecting copper sheets 62 away from the center of the housing 1 are respectively fixedly connected to the heat dissipation fins 63. During the rotation of the UAV's propeller, the upper side of the heat dissipation fins 63 are heated. The airflow will flow downwards, passing over the fin surface of the heat dissipation fin plate 63 and carrying away the heat from the fin surface. Heat will be generated when the first gear 22, the second gear 25 and the gear ring 26 mesh. Therefore, before this, the cover plate 4 needs to be opened and some lubricating oil (polyalphaolefin PAO type lubricating oil can be used) is applied to the inside of the housing 1 through the oiling port 3. The lubricating oil lubricates the gear surface and can accelerate the heat conduction rate, transferring the heat to the gear ring 26. At this time, the heat transfer plate 61 is in contact with the outer arc surface of the gear ring 26, and the heat is then conducted to the outer surface of the heat dissipation fin plate 63 by the heat transfer plate 61 to perform heat dissipation.

[0025] The working principle of the drone transmission component provided by this utility model is as follows: When the transmission component is needed, the housing 1 can be installed into the drive position of the drone through the threaded holes on the mounting feet 7 and the external screws. Then, the lower end of the motor mounting shaft 23 is fixed to the output shaft of the drone's brushless motor, and the drone's propeller is installed onto the upper end of the drone propeller mounting shaft 21. When the drone needs to start, the output shaft of the drone's brushless motor rotates, thereby driving the motor mounting shaft 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the planetary gear carrier 24 to rotate around the central axis of the motor mounting shaft 23. During this period, the three second gears 25 rotate around the central axis of the motor mounting shaft 23. The three second gears 25 maintain a meshing relationship with the gear ring 26. The three second gears 25 revolve around the central axis of the motor mounting shaft 23. When the first gear 22 rotates, the second gear 25 rotates in the same direction. This drives the first gear 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the drone propeller mounting shaft 21 to rotate at high speed, causing the drone propeller to rotate at high speed. During the rotation of the drone propeller, the airflow above it flows downward. The airflow flows over the fin surface of the heat dissipation fin plate 63, carrying away the heat from the fin surface. Heat is generated when the first gear 22, the second gear 25, and the gear ring 26 mesh. Therefore, before this, the cover plate 4 needs to be opened, and some lubricating oil needs to be applied to the inside of the housing 1 through the oiling port 3. The lubricating oil lubricates the tooth surface and can accelerate the heat conduction rate, transferring the heat to the gear ring 26. At this time, the heat transfer plate 61 is attached to the outer arc surface of the gear ring 26, and the heat is then conducted to the outer surface of the heat dissipation fin plate 63 by the heat transfer plate 61 for heat dissipation.

[0026] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
