Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of aviation aircrafts and mechanical designs, in particular to a helicopter without a tail rotor.
Background
The helicopter is widely applied to the fields of environmental survey, scientific research experiments, pesticide spraying, mountain forest fire fighting and the like, and brings great convenience to people, but due to the structural principle of the helicopter, a huge rotor wing can generate counter-torque force when rotating, in order to offset the counter-torque force to keep a stable machine body, the traditional helicopter must be provided with a tail beam and a tail rotor, the yawing of the helicopter is realized by adjusting the pitch of the tail rotor rotating at high speed, and because the tail rotor is far away from the power of an engine and has high rotating speed, the helicopter with the tail rotor vibrates, the structure is large, the maintenance and repair are difficult, the consumed power is poor in economy, the tail rotor rotating at high speed causes damage to ground personnel and articles, the failure rate of the tail rotor is high, the failure rate of the tail rotor generally accounts for 30% of the failure of the whole airplane, and the consumed.
People have appeared two kinds of tailless helicopters for 80 years in order to overcome the defects of the traditional helicopters, one kind is the double-propeller coaxial helicopter invented by former Soviet union Carmoff, because two rotors with equal size, equal rotating speed and same rotating speed and opposite rotating directions are adopted, the counter torque force is mutually counteracted, the tail propeller is cancelled, the coaxial helicopter yaw is realized by the differential change of the pitch of the upper rotor and the lower rotor, the operation is difficult because the pitch is very small when the airplane flies downwards from high altitude at a large angle, a larger vertical tail wing is needed to help realize the yaw, a tail beam is not really cancelled, the height of the helicopter is greatly increased in order to avoid the collision of the two rotors, and the total pitch and the variable pitch structure of the double rotors are complicated and. The second helicopter without tail rotor is Md520 helicopter without tail rotor from McTan company, which moves the tail rotor forward to the front end of tail beam to jet out the airflow generated by propeller through the opening on tail tube, and uses coanda effect to offset the counter torque generated by rotor.

The traditional single-rotor helicopter is provided with a tail rotor and a tail beam to balance the counter-torque force generated by the rotation of a main rotor, and the plane of the tail rotor arranged on the tail beam is vertical to the plane of the main rotor, so that the tail rotor only can play a role of balancing the counter-torque force and cannot provide lift force for the helicopter at the same time; the plane of the main rotor is parallel to the plane of the fan propeller, so that the loss of the helicopter can be reduced.
It is further preferred that the upper and lower shafts of the two-shaft, two-speed output transmission are counter-rotating.
Further preferably, the lower shaft speed of the double-shaft two-speed output transmission is 3 times of the upper shaft speed.
The upper shaft of the double-shaft double-speed output transmission is connected with a main rotor, and the counter-torque force generated by the rotation of the main rotor can be offset by more than 80% by the counter-phase high-speed rotation of a fan propeller connected with the lower shaft.

Further preferably, the fixed blades in the yawing blades are radially and symmetrically distributed along the duct wind ring
Further preferred scheme is, the fixed blade is connected with the circular face of duct wind by an angle, and the inclination angle of the angle-adjustable blade to the clockwise direction or the anticlockwise direction is at least 10 degrees.
Further preferred scheme is, adjustable driftage blade still includes adjusting rope and adjusting roller, and adjustable driftage blade still includes adjusting device, and adjusting device controls adjustable driftage blade and deflects to clockwise or anticlockwise.
Further preferably, the yaw blade section and the main rotor section are similar in shape.
Offset the rotatory contained angle that produces of main rotor as required and set up fixed blade and duct wind circle disc, make fixed blade evenly distributed in the duct wind circle, fixed blade and duct wind circle fixed connection have constituted the skeleton of driftage blade, angle deflection for adjustable angle blade provides solid basis, at the adjusting blade angle in-process, duct wind circle and fixed blade can be as the strong point, the both ends of adjustable blade are being supported to the inner ring outer loop of duct wind circle, through dragging the regulation rope, just can drive the adjustable angle blade among the driftage blade and carry out clockwise or anticlockwise deflection, adjust the rope simultaneously and still connect on the fixed blade at the interval in the middle of the adjustable angle blade, can not appear dragging when dragging the regulation rope and lead to the excessive phenomenon of deflection of adjustable angle blade.

1. the helicopter without the tail rotor provided by the invention completely cancels the tail rotor and the tail beam, has no power consumption and resistance of the tail rotor, has low failure rate and high reliability, and greatly improves the efficiency and the economy; and a transmission shaft and a tail rotor which rotate at a high speed and transmit long-distance power are not arranged, so that the vibration reduction effect of the machine body is obvious.
2. According to the helicopter without the tail rotor, in the flying process, the counter torque force generated by the rotation of the main rotor wing is offset by 80% of the fan propeller which is connected and rotates in a high speed on the same speed changer, and the remaining 20% of the counter torque force is offset by the counter torque force opposite to the main rotor wing generated when the downward air flow generated by the high-speed rotation of the fan propeller flows through the framework of the ducted air ring, namely the fixed blades; the wind ring of the duct is distributed with yaw blades with adjustable angles, the angles of the movable yaw blades are adjusted, and when the downward air leakage flows through the yaw blades, enough yaw moment can be generated, so that the yaw turning of the helicopter is realized; and the plane of the main rotor is parallel to the plane of the fan propeller, so that the loss of the helicopter is obviously reduced.
