Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The invention relates to a variable-pitch rotor structure and a control method thereof. The variable pitch rotor structure comprises a motor 1, a central hub 2, a blade clamp 3, a variable pitch shaft 4 and blades 5.
The paddle is installed on the paddle clamp, and the paddle clamp is connected with central propeller hub through the pitch axis, and central propeller hub installs on the motor. The variable pitch axis and the plane of the rotor wing form a certain included angle. The paddle clamp can rotate around the variable pitch shaft freely for a certain angle.
When the motor rotates at a constant speed, the blades are stressed in balance, the blades are kept static relative to the central hub, the blades stably run at a fixed pitch, and at the moment, the lift force generated by the rotor wing is unchanged.
When the motor tends to rotate in an accelerating mode, the central hub accelerates along with the motor, the acceleration of the blades lags behind the hub due to the inertia effect, at the moment, the blades rotate backwards around the pitch changing shaft relative to the central hub, the pitch is increased, and the lift force generated by the rotor wing is increased.
When the motor has the tendency of decelerating and rotating, the central hub decelerates along with the motor, and the deceleration of the blades lags behind the hub and the motor due to the inertia effect, at the moment, the blades rotate forwards around the variable pitch shaft relative to the central hub, the pitch is reduced, and the lift force generated by the rotor wing is reduced.
Through the control mode, when the tension of the rotor wing needs to be changed, only the rotating speed of the rotor wing needs to be changed in a small range, and meanwhile, the time needed for reaching the target tension is effectively shortened.
Further, the variable-pitch rotor structure can be provided with more than 2 blades with odd or even number, and can be a clockwise rotating blade or a counterclockwise rotating blade.
Further, the blade clamp may be a separate component or may be part of the blade, which functions to allow the blade to rotate about a pitch axis relative to the hub.
Furthermore, the pitch axis is characterized by a specific angle with the rotor plane, which is essential in that the blade rotates around it under the action of inertia, which changes the pitch of the blade. The same effect can be achieved no matter what the included angle is.
Further, the motor of the present variable pitch rotor structure may also be replaced with a fuel engine.
Furthermore, the lift unit formed by the variable-pitch rotor wing structure can be combined or superposed for use.
To visually illustrate the implementation of the present disclosure, an example is given as follows:
as shown in fig. 1, the main components of the present structure include: 1 motor, 2 central hub, 3 paddle clamp, 4 variable pitch shaft, 5 blades.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the blades 5 are fixedly connected with the blade clamp 3, the central hub 2 is fixedly connected with the motor 1, the blade clamp 3 is connected with the central hub 2 through the variable pitch shaft 4, the variable pitch shaft 4 and the plane of the rotor wing have a specific included angle β, and the blade clamp 3 can rotate freely by a certain angle by taking the variable pitch shaft 4 as an axis.
As shown in fig. 4 and 5, when the motor 1 keeps rotating at a constant speed, the blades 5 will keep a certain pitch, and at this time, the lift force generated by the blades 5 is not changed.
As shown in fig. 6 and 7, when the motor 1 tends to rotate at an accelerated speed, the blade 5 and the blade clamp 3 rotate backward relative to the central hub 2 around the pitch axis 4 due to the inertia of the blade 5, and the pitch becomes large, so that the lift force generated by the blade 5 increases. Controlling the acceleration and the duration of the acceleration of the motor 1 allows the pitch of the blades 5 to be increased to a specific desired angle.
As shown in fig. 8 and 9, when the motor 1 tends to rotate at a reduced speed, the blade 5 and the blade clamp 3 rotate forward relative to the central hub 2 around the pitch axis 4 due to the inertia of the blade 5, and the pitch becomes smaller, so that the lift force generated by the blade 5 is reduced. The acceleration and deceleration duration of the motor 1 are controlled so that the pitch of the blades 5 can be reduced to a specific required angle.
The variable-pitch rotor wing is simple and reliable in structure, quick to install and low in manufacturing cost, effectively simplifies the operation of a large-scale multi-rotor wing aircraft, and provides a simple and effective method for large-scale electric multi-rotor wing.
Can be simple convenient realization displacement control through this variable pitch rotor structure, effectively improve aircraft control and control response speed.
Through the variable-pitch rotor wing structure, the energy loss caused by the large change of the rotating speed of the motor in the control and manipulation process can be effectively reduced, and the flying efficiency is improved.
The foregoing is merely a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention, and some of the conventional techniques are not detailed. The scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any changes or substitutions that can be easily made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present invention will be covered by the scope of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
