RU2156209C1 - Flapping vehicle with balanced wings - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: aviation. SUBSTANCE: flapping vehicle includes central beam, two wings and wing flaps secured to frame by means of hinges; each wing consists of frame with longitudinal members. At flapping motion, wing flaps form continuous surface at wing dropping and uncover frame at wing lifting, thus admitting air. Each wing is provided with counter-weight used for balancing the wing relative to central beam and is provided with longitudinal space for passage of counter-weight of other wing. EFFECT: reduced force required for motion of wings. 13 dwg

Description

 The invention relates to aircraft, namely, to flying machines with flapping wings, using muscular strength or an internal combustion engine.

 Known flywheel, comprising a body with a seat, two wings pivotally mounted on the body and pivotally connected via traction to the actuator rod mounted on the body, the wings having valve devices in the form of plates fixed under the holes in the wing and spring-loaded to it, characterized in that is equipped with containers filled with gas with a density less than air, such as hydrogen (US Patent N 1632158, B 64 C 33/02, 1927).

 The mahogany’s drive is made muscular and contains pedals, blocks mounted rotatably on the body, a flexible connection fixed by the ends on the pedals, passing through the blocks and handles mounted on it and connected to the wings through the rods with hinges.

 A significant amount of energy is required to take off, fly and land the aircraft.

 The present invention is a flywheel with balanced wings, has counterweights to reduce the necessary effort for the movement of flapping wings.

 Due to the inertial movements of the counterweights, the effort necessary for the useful work of the fly wings is facilitated, which is the difference from other designs of the flywheels.

 A balanced flywheel is distinguished by the fact that its wings are balanced relative to the central beam (fuselage) by means of counterweights; the energy movement of the counterweights allows us to reduce the necessary effort for wing wing movements. Using this invention on gliders or hang gliders, a significant increase in range and flight time is possible by maintaining altitude and speed. When installing an internal combustion engine, the apparatus will have a vertical take-off and landing.

 Balanced winged flying machine can have various design options.

 The invention is illustrated by drawings.

 Option one: Hang glider, fly wings are located under the main supporting wing.

 Option Two: When the fly wings are located horizontally at the level of the central shaft. For this, the frame of the carrier wing is divided into two parts, one located in front and the other behind the wing wings.

 Some structural elements, such as 1; 5; 7; eight; nine; eleven; 12:17; 18 are composed of light pipes, for example, alloys of aluminum, titanium or plastics. Friction parts 10; 16 can be made of lightweight needle bearings or plastic bushings. Lockers 15 (plates) can also be made of plastic or its varieties. All material should be the most durable and least light.

 Balanced fly wings consist of a central shaft 7 of the frames of the right 8 and the left 9, the wings, with longitudinal gaps 13, 14, the loops of the wings 10, the counterweights of the right 11, the left wing 12, the wing flaps 15 and the wing flaps 16.

Each wing wing is attached to the central shaft 7 using the hinges of the wings 10 (like a door hinge), figure 2, and have the possibility of a flywheel relative to the central shaft 7, figure 2. The wings themselves consist of wing flaps 15, rigid plates of a certain size (in this case of a rectangular shape) attached by one of the sides to the wing-wing frame using the wing flaps 16, figure 2, 3. As a result, the wing flaps 15 can take horizontal effortlessly (forming a continuous surface) or go down 45 ^o , exposing the frame of the wings of the wings, figure 3, 3a, as a result, when lowering the wings of the wings (which serves as effective work), the mentioned wing flaps 15 are closed under the influence of air density and form a continuous surface of the wings of the wings.

 When the fly wings are raised, the wing flaps 15 under the influence of the wind (created during flight) open, exposing the wing frame, thereby passing air through the fly wings.

 The wings 3, 4, figure 3 themselves, have counterweights 11, 12, and the counterweight 11 of the right wing wing 3 is located to the left of the central shaft 7, and the left wing wing 4 has a counterweight 12 to the right of the central shaft. To do this, each wing wing has a longitudinal gap 13, 14, figure 2, which is located in the middle of the width of the wing wings, and has a length less than the wing itself, thus the counterweight 11 of the right wing wing 3, having a length less than the length of the gap 14, gets the opportunity to freely pass through the left flywheel 4 through the gap 14 located in the left flywheel 4, at the same time, the counterweight 12 of the left flywheel 4 passes through the gap 13 of the right flywheel 3.

 A balanced winged flying machine can have various design options, for example, a hang glider type design, when the fly wings are located under the main hang glider wing, figure 1, 1c. In this case, the canvas of the supporting wing 2 should have wing flaps, as in the wings 15.

 In this case, the fenders will facilitate the lifting of the device up and help plan when going down. In other embodiments, the main carrier wing or wings may be located horizontally at the level of the central beam or beams. In this case, the main carrier wing should be divided into two parts, one of which is located in front and the other behind the balanced wing wings - figure 4. In another embodiment, the wings are located one above the other - figures 4z, 3b and interconnected by poles of the central shaft 17 so that the fly wings have the ability to move towards each other - figure 4c, and on the contrary, are removed from each other - figure 4c. As a result, we get two phases of movement, figure 4c shows the useful work of the upper wing wings, which fall down. At the same time, the counterweights of the upper wing wings are raised, which are fixed to the lower wing wings by the wing poles 18, using hinges 19. As a result, the lower wing wings rise upward with the open wing flaps 15, figure 4z, making idle movement. The very work of the fly wings is carried out using its own weight, as well as the physical efforts of the pilot.

 The pilot, using his weight (while in a sitting position), presses with his feet on one of the levers of the fly wings 5, figure 4c, the lower fly wings are lowered, doing useful work. At the same time, the poles of the wings 18 lower the balances of the upper wings of the wings, that is, they lift the upper wings of the wings (with open fenders), idling - figure 4c. When transferring weight to another lever of the wing wings 5, figure 4z. which is attached to the counterweight of the wing wings, the lower wing wings are raised while the upper wing wings are lowered.

 Thus, the pilot alternately (using his weight) presses on one lever 5 with his feet; then with your hands on another lever 5, gradually increases the amplitude of the flap movements of the wings.

 As a result, we get the phases of the useful movement of the fly wings. Figure 4h shows the useful work of the upper wings, and figure 4c shows the useful work of the lower fly wings.

 When using this invention on a glider and hang glider, the pilot, with the help of muscular strength, can significantly increase the range and time of flight by maintaining altitude and speed. With good pilot training and a favorable wind, a climb is possible. A balanced-winged flywalker can be used for outdoor activities in the mountains, at sea, by tourists or athletes.

 When installing an internal combustion engine, the device will have a vertical take-off and landing and can be used as a vehicle with economical use of energy.
