Es ist auch bekannt, dass spezielle Modellflugzeuge angeboten werden, die motorisch, beispielsweise mit einem Ottomotor angetrieben werden. Andererseits gibt es zahl- reiche originalgetreue Flugzeugmodelle, die aus Kunststoffbausätzen zusammengebaut werden und die in Regalen oder Vitrinen aufgehoben und ausgestellt werden.It is known to drive models of railroads with electric current, as well as models of cars or accessories of toy trains. It is also known that special model airplanes are offered which are powered by a motor, for example with a gasoline engine. On the other hand, there are numerous true-to-original aircraft models that are assembled from plastic kits and that are stored and displayed on shelves or in showcases.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, den letztgenannten Flugzeugmodellen zu einer weiteren Funktion zu verhelfen, indem diese mit einem Antrieb versehen werden.The object of the present invention is to help the latter aircraft models to have a further function by providing them with a drive.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Fortbildungen und besondere Ausfuhrungen der Erfindung sind in den weiteren Ansprüchen umfasst.This object is achieved with the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Further training and special embodiments of the invention are included in the further claims.
Erfindungsgemäß besteht eine Vorrichtung zum Antrieb von Flugzeugmodellen aus einer ortsfesten Halterung, einem drehbar an dieser gelagertem Gehäuse, sowie einem Arm an dem Gehäuse zur Befestigung eines Flugzeugmodells, wobei das Gehäuse eine Stromversorgung in Form von Batterien oder Alckus sowie eine von dieser versorgte Steuerelektronik enthält, die zur Versorgung wenigstens eines Elektromotors im Flugzeugmodell dienen, wobei die Kabel zwischen der Steuerelektronik und dem Elektromotor am oder im Arm angeordnet sind und der Arm über eine Steckverbindung mit der Steuerelektronik verbunden ist und wobei an der Vorrichtung ein Schalter zum Ein- und Ausschalten der Stromversorgung vorhanden ist. Die Elektromotoren sind in die entsprechenden Motorengehäuse der Flugzeugmodelle integriert und treiben deren Originalpropeller an, die mit einer Bohrung direkt auf die Motorwelle gesteckt sind. Der Schalter kann ein einfacher Zugschalter sein, aber auch durch eine Funkfernbedienung oder Infrarotfernbedienung geschaltet werden.According to the invention, a device for driving aircraft models consists of a stationary holder, a housing rotatably mounted thereon, and an arm on the housing for fastening an aircraft model, the housing containing a power supply in the form of batteries or alckus and control electronics supplied by the latter, which serve to supply at least one electric motor in the aircraft model, the cables between the control electronics and the electric motor being arranged on or in the arm and the Arm is connected to the control electronics via a plug connection and a switch for switching the power supply on and off is present on the device. The electric motors are integrated into the corresponding motor housings of the aircraft models and drive their original propellers, which are plugged directly onto the motor shaft. The switch can be a simple pull switch, but can also be switched by a radio remote control or infrared remote control.
Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung besteht das Gehäuse aus zwei zusammensteckbaren und verrastbaren Teilen besteht, wobei ein Teil die Elektronik und die Steckverbindung mit dem Arm und das andere Teil die Stromversorgung besitzt, wobei im zusammengesteckten Zustand Strom führende Elemente die Verbindung zwischen Stromversorgung und Elektronik sicher stellen. Die Verrastung erfolgt beispielsweise durch Schnappnasen an dem einen Teil und entsprechenden Ausnehmungen an dem anderen Teil. Das Gehäuse ist an der Hal- terung um eine Drehachse kugelgelagert, wobei vorteilhafterweise zwei oder mehr Kugellager verwendet werden.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the housing consists of two pluggable and latchable parts, one part having the electronics and the connector with the arm and the other part having the power supply put. The locking takes place, for example, by snap lugs on one part and corresponding recesses on the other part. The housing is ball-bearing on the holder about an axis of rotation, two or more ball bearings advantageously being used.
Der Arm ist vorzugsweise zweiteilig ausgeführt, wobei der erste Teil starr in den Anschluss an dem Gehäuse eingesteckt ist und der zweite Teil in der Längsachse schwenkbar mit dem ersten Teil verbunden ist. Dies ist deswegen zweckmäßig, weil das Flugzeugmodell eine derartige Schubkraft entwickeln kann, dass es sich beim Rotieren des Gehäuses schräg stellt.The arm is preferably designed in two parts, the first part being inserted rigidly into the connection on the housing and the second part being pivotally connected to the first part in the longitudinal axis. This is useful because the aircraft model can develop such a thrust that it tilts when the housing rotates.
Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausführung der Erfindung wird neben dem wenigstens einem Motor auch wenigstens ein Beleuchtungselement an dem Flugzeugmodell durch die Steuerelektronik betrieben, wobei es sich um die Beleuchtung des Flugzeuginneren wie auch um die Blinklichter handeln kann.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, in addition to the at least one motor, at least one lighting element on the aircraft model is operated by the control electronics, which can be the lighting of the aircraft interior as well as the flashing lights.
Nach der bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung besteht die Halterung aus einer runden Befestigungsplatte mit einer mittigen Drehachse und das Gehäuse dreht sich um die Drehachse oder unter der Halteplatte dreht, wobei das Gehäuse durch eine Rastverbindung, Schrauben oder dergleichen unverlierbar an der Halterung gehalten ist. So kann die Vorrichtung aufgehängt, wie auch aufgeständert werden. Auch eine bogenförmige Aufhängestange für ein Tischmodell kann verwendet werden. Das Gehäuse besitzt im Wesentlichen eine zylindrische Form.According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the holder consists of a round mounting plate with a central axis of rotation and the housing rotates about the axis of rotation or rotates under the holding plate, the housing being captively attached to the holder by a snap connection, screws or the like is held. So the device can be hung, as well as standing. An arched hanging bar for a table model can also be used. The housing has a substantially cylindrical shape.

An dem freien ende des mittigen zylindrischen Teils wird die Elektronik befestigt, die sich mit dem Gehäuse 13 drehen soll. Die Arme 19 weisen die Durchbrüche 20 für die federnden Nasen 23 des anderen Teils auf, das im Wesentlichen zylindrisch aufgebaut ist und 6 Bohrungen zur Aufnahme der Batterien 25 besitzt. In der Mitte weist das untere Teil 22 eine kreisförmige Ausnehmung auf, in der das mittige zylindrische Teil 21 mit der Elektronik aufgenommen wird. Die federnden Nasen 23 sind in zwei seitlichen Schlitzen des unteren Teils angeordnet und greifen von innen in die Durchbrüche 20 der seitlichen Arme 19. Die beiden Gehäuseteile 17 und 22 sind so drehfest miteinander verbunden und das obere Teil 17 weist an seiner Unterseite Kontakte für die Batterien 25 auf, die so die Elektronik versorgen können.5 to 8 show the individual parts of the holder 12 and the housing 13, which consists of two parts 17 and 22.
