Abstract

A swashplate gyroscope engine, relating to the technical field of aerospace propellers. The swashplate gyroscope engine effectively solves the problem that existing rocket engines are not suitable for sustained navigation in space and will run out of fuel. According to the swashplate gyroscope engine, the stability and precession of a gyroscope are used, and movement of connecting rods (8) in a swashplate track (13) is used, so that flywheels (6) precess in an F5 direction. When a base (10) drives the connecting rods to rotate, since the forces applied by the base to the connecting rods are in an upward F3 direction and a downward F1 direction, the precession directions of the base and the connecting rods in a left-side stage and a right-side stage are different from the precession direction F5, the magnitudes of obtained reaction forces are also different, and the reaction forces borne by a propeller body (1) are unbalanced, so that the propeller body continuously moves upwards, thereby causing the propeller body to push a spacecraft to continuously fly in a vacuum space environment.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] The invention discloses a swash plate gyro engine, which is characterized in that: the swash plate gyro engine comprises a propeller body (1) which is static in vacuum weightlessness state, the propeller body (1) has two circular cavities (2) inside, the propeller body (1) is provided with a main motor (5) and a rear steering motor (20) at the rear part, the main motor (5) is provided with a conductive slip ring (4) on the output shaft, the output shaft of the main motor (5) is connected with a base (10), the base (10) is provided with a plurality of connecting rods (8), the connecting rods (8) are provided with flywheel motors (7) at the ends, the flywheel motors (7) are provided with flywheels (6) outside, the base (10) is provided with a rear fixed track (11) and a front fixed track (12) outside, the rear fixed track (11) is installed on the rear wall of the propeller body (1), the rear steering motor (20) is provided with a gear on the output shaft, and the rear fixed track (11) is driven to rotate through the gear, the front steering motor (19) is installed on the front wall of the propeller body (1), the front steering motor (19) is provided with the front fixed track (12) on the output shaft, the rear fixed track (11) and the front fixed track (12) jointly form a swash plate track (13), the connecting rods (8) are provided with semi-hard connecting joints (9) at the ends, the semi-hard connecting joints (9) are composed of a steel plate spring (16), a limiting block (14) and a positioning roller (15), one end of the steel plate spring (16) is fixed on the protruding block of the connecting rod (8), the other end is clamped and fixed by the two positioning rollers (15) on the connecting rod (8), the wires (3) are fixed on the outer surfaces of the base (10) and the connecting rods (8) after passing through the conductive slip ring (4), and the flywheel motors (7) are provided with power supply and transmission control signals, the left stage (17) and the right stage (18) form a cycle.

[0007] In order to increase the rotational inertia and reduce the influence of centrifugal force on the precession of the flywheel (6), the flywheel (6) extends to one end of the semi-hard connecting joint (9), so that the gravity centers of the flywheel motor (7) and the flywheel (6) are close to the semi-hard connecting joint (9).

[0008] In order to make the rotation surface of the connecting rod (8) and the rotation surface of the base (10) not in the same plane and have a certain angle, the gap between the rear fixed track (11) and the front fixed track (12) forms an inclined swash plate track (13), so that the connecting rod (8) runs in the swash plate track (13).

[0010] In order to make the thruster body (1) move a large distance upward in the right stage (18), the base (10) drives the connecting rod (8) to move downward in the F1 direction in the right stage (18), which makes the connecting rod (8) and the flywheel (6) move from the upper right to the lower left along the swash plate track (13), and generates a precession force in the F5 direction upward to the left, so that the semi-hard connecting joint (9) deflects in the F5 direction upward to the left.

[0011] In order to make the thruster body (1) move a small distance downward in the left stage (17), the base (10) drives the connecting rod (8) to move upward in the F3 direction in the left stage (17), which makes the connecting rod (8) and the flywheel (6) move from the lower right to the upper left along the swash plate track (13), and generates a precession force in the F5 direction upward to the right, so that the semi-hard connecting joint (9) deflects in the F5 direction upward to the right. The direction F5 of the precession of the flywheel (6) is almost the same as the direction F3 of the movement of the base (10) driving the connecting rod (8) to move upward, and a small force is required for the base (10) and the connecting rod (8) to move from the bottom to the top in the left stage (17), and the thruster body (1) obtains a small downward reaction force at the same time.

[0012] In order to adjust the direction and steering of the movement of the thruster body (1), the rear steering motor (20) and the front steering motor (19) work at the same time to make the rear fixed track (11) and the front fixed track (12) rotate in the same direction synchronously, so as to change the positions of the swash plate track (13), the left stage (17) and the right stage (18).

[0013] In order to prevent the connecting rod (8) from colliding with the swash plate track (13) and reduce friction, bearings are arranged on the contact surface between the connecting rod (8) and the swash plate track (13).

[0014] The beneficial effects of the above technical scheme are that fuel is not consumed, and the thruster body (1) can push the spacecraft to fly continuously in the universe through the rotating movement of the base (10) and the connecting rod (8) in the left stage (17) and the right stage (18).

[0024] The specific embodiment of the swash plate gyroscope engine is described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0025] Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 show the specific embodiment and process of the swash plate gyroscope engine of the present application:

[0026] Fig. 3, Fig. 5, Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, the connecting rod (8) rotates along the swash plate track (13), the direction of the precession F5 of the flywheel (6) is the same in the left stage (17) and the right stage (18) (Fig. 5). In the left stage (17), the base (10) drives the connecting rod (8) to move upward in the direction F3, which makes the connecting rod (8) and the flywheel (6) move from the lower right to the upper left along the swash plate track (13), and at the same time generates a force in the direction of the precession F5 to the upper left, which makes the semi-hard connecting joint (9) deflect to the upper left in the direction of the precession F5, the direction of the precession F5 of the flywheel (6) is almost the same as the direction F3 of the connecting rod (8) driven by the base (10) to move upward (Fig. 6), the base (10) and the connecting rod (8) need smaller force to move from bottom to top in the left stage (17), at the same time the thruster body (1) obtains a smaller upward reaction force, so that the thruster body (1) moves a smaller distance downward in the left stage (17). In the right stage (18), the base (10) drives the connecting rod (8) to move downward in the direction F1, which makes the connecting rod (8) and the flywheel (6) move from the upper right to the lower left along the swash plate track (13), and at the same time generates a force in the direction of the precession F5 to the upper left, which makes the semi-hard connecting joint (9) deflect to the upper left in the direction of the precession F5, the direction of the precession F5 of the flywheel (6) is almost opposite to the direction F1 of the connecting rod (8) driven by the base (10) to move downward (Fig. 7), the base (10) and the connecting rod (8) need larger force to move from top to bottom in the right stage (18), at the same time the thruster body (1) obtains a larger upward reaction force, so that the thruster body (1) moves a larger distance upward in the right stage (18). Conclusion: the base (10) drives the connecting rod (8) to rotate one circle, the force and the direction of the precession in the right stage (18) and the left stage (17) are different (Fig. 6 and Fig. 7), the reaction force obtained by the thruster body (1) is different, the distance of the thruster body (1) moving upward and downward is also different, so the thruster body (1) will move upward.

[0027] Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the two main motors (5) drive the connecting rod (8) to rotate in opposite directions through the base (10), which has eliminated the torque, the flywheel (6) extends to one end of the semi-hard connecting joint (9), so that the center of gravity of the flywheel motor (7) and the flywheel (6) is close to the semi-hard connecting joint (9), thereby increasing the moment of inertia of rotation and reducing the influence of centrifugal force on the precession of the flywheel (6). When the semi-hard connecting joint (9) deflects in the direction F5, the steel plate spring (16) provides resistance, the limiting block (14) prevents the deflection angle from being too large, and the positioning roller (15) clamps and fixes the steel plate spring (16).

[0028] Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, by the rear steering motor (20) and the front steering motor (19) working at the same time, the rear fixed track (11) and the front fixed track (12) are driven to rotate in the same direction, so as to change the position of the swash plate track (13), the left stage (17) and the right stage (18).

[0029] The process and conclusion of the application, the two main motors (5) of the thruster body (1) drive the connecting rod (8) to rotate in opposite directions through the base (10), the flywheel motor (7) drives the flywheel (6) to rotate clockwise at high speed, the connecting rod (8) runs along the swash plate track (13) between the rear fixed track (11) and the front fixed track (12), so that the flywheel (6) advances in the F5 direction, and the semi-hard connecting joint (9) deflects in the F5 direction. When the base (10) drives the connecting rod (8) to move upward in the F3 direction in the left stage (17), the connecting rod (8) and the flywheel (6) move along the swash plate track (13) from the lower right to the upper left, at the same time, a force advancing in the right upper F5 direction is generated, so that the semi-hard connecting joint (9) deflects in the right upper F5 direction, the direction F5 of the flywheel (6) advancing is almost the same as the direction F3 of the base (10) driving the connecting rod (8) to move upward (Fig. 6), the base (10) and the connecting rod (8) need smaller force to run from bottom to top in the left stage (17), at the same time, the thruster body (1) obtains a smaller upward reaction force, so that the thruster body (1) moves a smaller distance downward in the left stage (17). When the base (10) drives the connecting rod (8) to move downward in the F1 direction in the right stage (18), the connecting rod (8) and the flywheel (6) move along the swash plate track (13) from the upper right to the lower left, at the same time, a force advancing in the left upper F5 direction is generated, so that the semi-hard connecting joint (9) deflects in the left upper F5 direction, the direction F5 of the flywheel (6) advancing is almost opposite to the direction F1 of the base (10) driving the connecting rod (8) to move downward (Fig. 7), the base (10) and the connecting rod (8) need larger force to run from top to bottom in the right stage (18), at the same time, the thruster body (1) obtains a larger upward reaction force, so that the thruster body (1) moves a larger distance upward in the right stage (18). The reaction forces obtained in the left stage (17) and the right stage (18) are different when the base (10) drives the connecting rod (8) to rotate one circle, so that the displacement of the thruster body (1) is different in size, and the thruster body (1) can be used to push the spacecraft to fly continuously in the universe.

[0030] When it is necessary to adjust the flight direction of the spacecraft and the spacecraft is to be turned, the position of one of the ramps (13) is adjusted, thereby changing the position of the left stage (17) and the right stage (18) to turn the thruster body (1). The positions of the two ramps (13) are adjusted synchronously, thereby changing the positions of the left stages (17) and the right stages (18) synchronously to change the moving direction of the thruster body (1).

[0031] The above merely is the preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
