Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen gefesselt fliegenden Spielzeughubschrauber mit mindestens einem elektrischen Motor und mindestens einem Rotor, gefesselt durch einen mit einem Haltesockel verbundenen Ausleger und an diesem um den Haltesockel beweglich.The invention relates to a tied flying toy helicopter with at least one electric motor and at least one rotor, tied up by an extension arm connected to a holding base and movable thereon about the holding base.
Bei bekannten Flugspielzeugen mit Auslegern (CH-A-200-396 HAMMER & RHODES, DE-B-1911884, DE-B-2 231 137 MATTEL, INC., welche mit der US-A-3 740 032 CHANG-MATTEL übereinstimmt, DE-B-927 976, US-A-2 885 206, US-A-3 512773 P. C. JACOBS, US-A-3 518 788 J. E. SIDES) kreist ein Flugkörper um eine Drehachse in konstantem Abstand vom Drehpunkt. Im Auslegermast befindet sich der Antriebsmotor, der über eine biegsame Welle mit dem Hubschrauberrotor in Wirkverbindung steht. Bei Spielzeughubschraubern mit Auslegern der genannten Art (z.B. US-A-2 885 206) hat sich die im Auslegerrohr gelagerte biegsame Antriebswelle als nachteilig erwiesen, weil die Hubschrauber beim Steigen und Sinken ungewollte Rollbewegungen ausführen.In known flying toys with outriggers (CH-A-200-396 HAMMER & RHODES, DE-B-1911884, DE-B-2 231 137 MATTEL, INC., Which corresponds to US-A-3 740 032 CHANG-MATTEL, DE-B-927 976, US-A-2 885 206, US-A-3 512773 PC JACOBS, US-A-3 518 788 JE SIDES) orbits a missile around an axis of rotation at a constant distance from the fulcrum. The drive motor is located in the jib mast and is operatively connected to the helicopter rotor via a flexible shaft. In the case of toy helicopters with cantilevers of the type mentioned (e.g. US-A-2 885 206), the flexible drive shaft mounted in the cantilever tube has proven to be disadvantageous because the helicopters perform unwanted rolling movements when climbing and descending.
Obwohl diese Spielzeuge höhenverstell bar sind, können sie nicht in radialer Richtung fliegen. Darüber hinaus bestehen sie aus zahlreichen Teilen, wodurch sie sehr aufwendig gebaut sind und daher nicht billig auf den Markt kommen können.Although these toys are adjustable in height, they cannot fly in the radial direction. In addition, they consist of numerous parts, which makes them very expensive to build and therefore they cannot come onto the market cheaply.
Die Erfindung hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, den Spielreiz derartiger Flugspielzeuge zu erhöhen und insbesondere die Konstruktion zu vereinfachen.The invention has set itself the goal of increasing the play appeal of such flying toys and, in particular, of simplifying the construction.
Die Aufgabe besteht also darin einen gefesselt fliegenden Spiezeug hubschrauber zu schaffen, der in alle dreidimensionalen Richtungen fliegt (bezogen auf den Haltesockel auch in radialer Richtung), der in der Luft schwebt, rückwärts fliegt, der Lasten heben und transportieren kann, dazu noch genau wie ein wirklicher Hubschrauber steuerbar ist und trotzdem konstruktionsmässig einfach ist.So the task is to create a tied flying toy helicopter that flies in all three-dimensional directions (in relation to the support base also in the radial direction), that hovers in the air, flies backwards, that can lift and transport loads, as well as a real helicopter can be controlled and is still structurally simple.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelös dass der Ausleger von zwei winkelveränderlichen Parallelogrammen gebildet wird, die derart in Reihe angeordnet sind, dass sie einen gemeinsamen Schenkel aufweisen, daß der zu dem gemeinsamen Schenkel parallele Schenkel des einen Parallelogramms mit dem Spielzeughubschrauber gekoppelt ist und der zu dem gemeinsamen Schenkel parallele Schenkel des zweiten Parallelogramms aus zwei miteinander gelenkig verbundenen Teilen besteht, am Haltesockel angeordnet ist und als ein nach allen Richtungen kippbar und drehbar gelagerter Steuerknüppel ausgebildet ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the boom is formed by two parallelograms which can be varied in angle and which are arranged in series in such a way that they have a common leg such that the leg of one parallelogram parallel to the common leg is coupled to the toy helicopter and that to the toy helicopter common leg parallel leg of the second parallelogram consists of two parts which are articulated to one another, is arranged on the holding base and is designed as a control stick which can be tilted and rotated in all directions.
Im Haltesockel befindet sich der Spannungsregler für den elektrischen Motor und evtl. ein Transformator.The voltage regulator for the electric motor and possibly a transformer is located in the holding base.
Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand einer Zeichnung näher erläutert, welche lediglich einen einzigen Ausführungsweg darstellt.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to a drawing, which represents only a single embodiment.
Figure 1 zeigt in perspektivischer Darstellung einen erfindungsgemässen gefesselt fliegenden Spielzeughubschrauber mit Ausleger, Steuerknüppel und Haltesockel.Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a tied flying toy helicopter according to the invention with boom, joystick and holding base.
In der Figur 1 ist ein gefesselt fliegender Spielzeughubschrauber (1) gezeigt, der über einen Ausleger (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) an einen Auslegerhaltesockel (15) gefesselt ist, um den der Spielzeughubschrauber (1) herumfliegen kann. Der Spielzeughubschrauber ist mit einem elektrischen Motor (2) und mit einem Rotor (3) versehen, der Auftrieb erzeugt, um den Habschrauber in veränderliche Höhen zu tragen und der ausserdem den Hubschrauber (1) vorwärts-, rückwärts- und seitwärts antreiben kann. Die steuerung geschicht durch leichtes Kippen des Hubschraubers (1) in die Richtung in die eine Bewegung beabsichtigt wird, was durch einen aud zwei Teilen (11 und 12) zusammengesetzten Steuerknüppel bewirkt wird.FIG. 1 shows a tied flying toy helicopter (1), which is tied via a boom (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) to a boom holding base (15) around which the toy helicopter (1) can fly. The toy helicopter is provided with an electric motor (2) and a rotor (3) which generates lift to carry the Habopter at variable heights and which can also drive the helicopter (1) forwards, backwards and sideways. The control history by slightly tilting the helicopter (1) in the direction in which a movement is intended, which is brought about by a control stick composed of two parts (11 and 12).
Der Ausleger (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) erstreckt sich vom Haltesockel (15) zum Hubschrauber (1) und hat die Aufgabe den Hubschrauber im wesentlichen in aufrechter Lage zu halten und ihm eine steuerbare Vorwärts-, Rückwärts- oder Seitwärtzneigung zu geben. Er überträgt dem Hubschrauber die Bewegungen des Steuerknüppels.The boom (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) extends from the holding base (15) to the helicopter (1) and has the task of holding the helicopter essentially in an upright position and giving it a controllable forward, reverse or To give sideways inclination. It transmits the movements of the control stick to the helicopter.
Der Ausleger (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) besteht aus zwei nebeneinander gekoppelten Parallelogrammen, deren starre Stäbe (5) sich um Achsen (20) drehen. Um die Hubschrauber zu entlasten ist der Ausleger mit Zugfedern (8, 9, 10) versehen, um einen Teil des Gewichtes zu tragen. Die Zugfedern (9) sind angebracht, um die Zugkraft der Federn (8) auszugleichen, so daß der Steuerknüppel (11, 12) immer in der Mitte bleibt. Die Zugfedern (10) müssen entsprechend stärker sein.The boom (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) consists of two parallelograms coupled together, the rigid rods (5) of which rotate about axes (20). In order to relieve the helicopters, the boom is provided with tension springs (8, 9, 10) to carry part of the weight. The tension springs (9) are attached to compensate for the tensile force of the springs (8) so that the control stick (11, 12) always stays in the middle. The tension springs (10) must be correspondingly stronger.
Der aus den Teilen 11 und 12 zusammengesetzte Steuerknüppel nimmt dern Ausleger auf und ist auf dem Haltesockel (15) drehbar gelagert. Der Steuerknüppel (11, 12) ist mit einem u-förmigen Teil (13) durch eine Drehachse 22 gelenkig verbunden.The control stick composed of
Der u-förmige Teil (13) hat einen rohrförmigen unteren Teil (14) der sich durch eine Lagerbohrung im Haltesockel (15) hindurchstreckt, so dass er sich um die senkrechte Achse (23) drehen kann.The U-shaped part (13) has a tubular lower part (14) which extends through a bearing bore in the holding base (15) so that it can rotate about the vertical axis (23).
Um das Vorwärts- und Rückwärtsfliegen des Hubschraubers zu erlaugen, muss der Steuerknüppel auch noch um die waagrechte Achse (22) drehbar sein. Dies geschieht durch die zwei u-förmigen Teile (12, 13), die über einen die Advise (22) definierenden Stift miteinander verbunden sind. Zwischen den Teilen (12, 13) kann sich ein Gummiteil befinden, der die Bewegungen einschränkt und den Steuerknüppel (11, 12) in der Mitte hält.In order to allow the helicopter to fly forwards and backwards, the control stick must also be rotatable about the horizontal axis (22). This is done by the two U-shaped parts (12, 13), which are connected to each other via a pin defining the advise (22). Between the parts (12, 13) there can be a rubber part, which restricts the movements and holds the control stick (11, 12) in the middle.
Um die Radialbewegung des Hubschraubers zu erlauben, ist der zusammengesetzte Steuerknüppel (11, 12) noch um eine waagrechte von einem Stift gebildete Achse (21) drehbar gelagert. Bei Verschwenkung in radialer Richtung des oberen Teil des Steuerknüppels (11) kippt der Hubschrauber um seine Längsachse und wodurch die Auftriebskraft in zwei Komponenten zerlegt wird: eine vertikale und eine radiale Komponente. Die radiale Kraft bewegt den Hubschrauber nach innen oder nach aussen.In order to allow the helicopter to move radially, the assembled control stick (11, 12) is rotatably mounted about a horizontal axis (21) formed by a pin. When pivoting in the radial direction of the upper part of the control stick (11), the helicopter tilts about its longitudinal axis and as a result the lift force is broken down into two components: a vertical and a radial component. The radial force moves the helicopter inwards or outwards.
Im Haltesockel (15) befindet sich der Spannungsregler (16) und evtl. ein Transformator, der den erforderlichen Strom durch des Kabel (19) zum elektrischen Motor (2) liefert. Das Verstellen der Flughöhe geschieht durch Verändern der elektrischen Spannung mittels des Spannungsreglerknopfes (17). Das Spielzeug wird mit Strom aus der Steckdose durch das Kabel (18) versorgt.In the holding base (15) there is the voltage regulator (16) and possibly a transformer which supplies the required current through the cable (19) to the electric motor (2). The flight altitude is adjusted by changing the electrical voltage using the voltage regulator button (17). The toy is supplied with power from the socket by the cable (18).
Der Hubschrauber kann mit einem unangetriebenen Heckrotor (4) versehen werden, der sich in den Luftwirbeln des Hauptrotors (3) dreht.The helicopter can be equipped with an unpowered tail rotor (4) that rotates in the air vortices of the main rotor (3).
Der Hauptrotor (3) kann unmantelt werden, um die Gefahr von Unfällen und den Lärm zu senken.The main rotor (3) can be stripped to reduce the risk of accidents and noise.
