Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a continuation of the serial number of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 17/426,083, filed on Apr. 8, 2021, entitled Boomerang, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the technical field of boomerangs, in particular to a boomerang.

BACKGROUND

The moment to the supporting point generated by the gyro rotating at high speed by gravity will not make it topple, but process at a small angle, which is the gyro effect. Simply put, the gyro effect means that the rotating object has inertia to keep its rotating direction.
Gyro effect is widely used in technical fields such as scientific and technological progress, and its practical application can be seen from aerospace to deep-sea stealth. In our daily life, a flying toy that can fly back after being thrown is one of the most representative practical applications of gyro effect.
Most of the rotary flying toys in the prior art adopt two pairs of propellers which are arranged in parallel and rotate in opposite directions to offset the torque generated by the rotation of the propellers, so as to provide the lifting force of the flying toys and increase the stability of the flying toys. U.S. Pat. No. 6,843,699 discloses a directional controllable aircraft and a propeller structure for realizing the same, which comprises a main propeller connected to a central hub, the main propeller including a pair of propeller fins extending from a propeller shaft, a plurality of hub fins fixed to the central hub and extending outward and downward from the central hub, the main propeller and the plurality of hub fins rotating in opposite directions caused by torque of a motor structure for rotating the main propeller, The hub fins extend from the central hub to the outer ring, and the main propeller extends downward from the central hub and is positioned below the hub fins so that the tail end of the main propeller is located inside the outer ring. The propeller also includes a pair of connections connecting the propeller to the propeller shaft fixed to the drive shaft. When the torque of the rotor structure changes, the pitch and height of the propeller fins also change so as to substantially offset the tail end tilt.
However, although the flying toy adopting this scheme has controllable direction and good stability in flight, it requires the operator to control the inclination and height of the propeller wing by using the remote control unit, so as to control the flying direction of the flying toy. For a flying toy, the remote control unit is added, and the cost of the flying toy will be higher. On the other hand, it is necessary to learn how to operate the remote control unit, which also limits the popularization audience of the flying toy. Furthermore, the flying toy fails to effectively protect the propeller component and the operator. When the flying toy collides with an obstacle, the propeller component has a great probability of being damaged, which leads to the loss of the flying ability of the flying toy. At the same time, the residual blades of the propeller wings flying out due to the damage also have a great probability of hurting the operator. In the more extreme case, the flying toy flies out of control directly to the operator, resulting in more serious situations. Any of the above problems is not ideal for the flying toy.
The prior art also discloses a flying toy which does not use a remote control unit and simultaneously provides a protective shell for the propeller. The U.S. patent application No. 20200238188 discloses a miniature finger gyro gyroplane, which comprises a main body casing, a fan blade arranged in the main body casing, a mandrel arranged in the center of the fan blade, and a shiatsu upper cover and a shiatsu lower cover arranged at the upper and lower sides of the main body casing through both ends of the mandrel. The main body casing, the shiatsu upper cover and the shiatsu lower cover can rotate independently around the mandrel, and are arranged in the main body casing.
Although the flying toy adopting this technical scheme does not need a remote control unit and is provided with a main body shell capable of protecting the propeller, when in use, it is necessary to first rotate the main body shell and the fan blades, and the rotation direction of the main body shell and the fan blades is opposite to offset the torsion force generated by the relative rotation between the main body shell and the fan blades, so as to obtain sufficient lift force, and then the flying toy is thrown out, and the flying toy flies back by the gyro effect. To throw the flying toy, you need to press the upper cover and the lower cover with your hands first, and then throw the flying toy at an appropriate throwing angle. On the one hand, this throwing method limits the flying angle of the flying toy; on the other hand, because the main body shell is a part of the rotating flying component, the high-speed rotating shell may hurt the skin of the contact person, and even cut your eyes in severe cases. At the same time, the flying component falling from high altitude will be broken if there is no protection on the outside of the flying component. In addition, the high-speed rotating shell is also the main body of its gyro effect. This design only leaves two small finger pressure upper and lower covers. The products produced by this technology are extremely difficult to operate and have poor user experience. Besides adults, the audience of flying toys is also a large number of operators. In the cognition of the majority of children, they do not know the principle of rotary flying toys. They only know that it is a toy that will fly back when thrown out. Therefore, it is necessary to throw out the flying toys by pressing the cover, which further increases the difficulty for children to use the flying toys. On the one hand, because the size of flying toys is fixed, it can't be suitable for children of different ages, such as the palm of younger children.
Based on the above, it is necessary to provide a flying toy with full enclosure isolation, which can isolate the flying components rotating at high speed from the skin of the contact person, and at the same time, realize the technology of controlling different flight trajectories of the aircraft by preset throwing angles, which will make users have an incredible experience. When the flying toy falls from high altitude, the fully enclosed net shell can also protect the core flying components.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, but not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative labor are within the scope of protection in this application.
The reference to “an embodiment” or “an implementation” here means that a specific feature, structure or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment or an implementation can be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is understood explicitly and implicitly by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
FIGS. 1 and 2 show a preferred embodiment of a boomerang, which includes a flight component 4 and a protective device 8 arranged around the flight component 4. The flight component 4 includes at least one rotating device 401 and a driving device 402. The maximum diameter rotation plane formed by the rotation of the rotating device 401 defines the outer perimeter of the flight component 4, and the rotating device 401 rotates coaxially around the center axis of the maximum diameter rotation plane.
The boomerang also includes a central shaft 5 (see FIG. 2 ) penetrating through the center axis of the maximum diameter rotating plane formed by the rotation of the rotating device 401. Two ends of the central shaft 5 are connected with the first base 1 and the second base 2, and the first base 1 and the second base 2 are separated from the upper and lower ends of the flight component 4.
Among them, the first base 1 extends from the center out of the first receiving part 11 (see FIG. 3 ), and the first receiving part 11 is configured to receive the first end 51 of the central shaft 5 (see FIG. 5 ); The second base 2 extends from its center out of the second receiving part 21 (see FIG. 4 ), and the second receiving part 21 is configured to receive the second end 52 of the central shaft 5 (see FIG. 5 ).
In this preferred embodiment, the central shaft 5 is preferably a single through shaft with a cylindrical surface. In other embodiments, the central shaft 5 may also have surfaces of other shapes, such as rectangular or prismatic, and the central shaft 5 may also be composed of two or more mandrels through coupling. As shown in FIG. 16 , the central shaft 5 is composed of two coaxial mandrels, one end of which is respectively received by the first receiving part 11 and the second receiving part 21, and the other end is rotatably connected with the bracket 48.
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the protective device 8 arranged around the flight component 4 is composed of a plurality of ribs 3 connected to each other, and its inner diameter is larger than the outer periphery of the flight component 4.
In this preferred embodiment, between the first base 1 and the second base 2 receiving the central shaft 5, an accommodation space 7 (see FIG. 6 ) is formed in the longitudinal axis direction of the central shaft 5, and the accommodation space 7 is designed to accommodate the flight component 4. The accommodation volume of the accommodation space 7 depends on the extension track of the ribs 3. Similarly, the accommodation volume of the accommodation space 7 will also limit the size of the flight component 4. In order to make the ribs 3 completely protect the flight component 4, the size of the flight component 4 is designed to be smaller than the accommodation volume of the accommodation space 7.
FIG. 7 shows the main components of the flight component 4 of the present invention, including a rotating device 401 and a driving device 402. The rotating device 401 is composed of a propeller component 41, which includes a first propeller 411 and a second propeller 412. The driving device 402 is composed of a motor 42, a motor base 43, a power supply 44, a sensor 45, a circuit board 46 and a transmission gear 47, and the components of the driving device 402 are all built in a bracket 48 with a cavity.
The second propeller 412 is fixedly connected to the motor base 43, the motor 42, the power supply 44 and the circuit board 46 are fixedly mounted on the motor base 43, and the sensor 45 is electrically connected to the circuit board 46. The sensor 45 feeds back signals to the circuit board 46, and the circuit board 46 controls the operation of the motor 42. The driving shaft of the motor 42 is in transmission connection with the first propeller 411 through a transmission gear 47.
The motor 42 drives the first propeller 411 to rotate, and the reaction force generated when the first propeller 411 rotates will push the motor base 43 to rotate, thus driving the bracket 48 and the second propeller 412 fixedly connected with the motor base 43 to rotate. At this time, the rotation direction of the bracket 48 and the second propeller 412 is opposite to that of the first propeller 411, so that the torsional forces between the first propeller 411 and the second propeller 412 are mutually offset, and at the same time, the upward lift force is generated, so that the boomerang can fly. At the same time, under the action of the thrown external force, the boomerang first flies in the throwing direction for a certain distance. After the thrown external force disappears, the flying angle of the boomerang will remain unchanged due to the gyro effect generated by the rotation of the support 48 and the propeller, and the boomerang will continue to fly in the direction of this angle. Users can preset the throwing angle of the boomerang to obtain different flight trajectories.
In order to make the flight component 4 fly with sufficient lift, besides increasing the RPM of the motor, it is also a preference to make the blades of the propeller more similar. Increasing the size of the propeller blades also increases the size of the flight component 4, which leads to the increase of the accommodating volume of the accommodating space 7.
Increasing the accommodation volume of the accommodation space 7 can be achieved by increasing the extension length of the ribs 3. However, if the accommodation volume of the accommodation space 7 is simply increased by increasing the extension length of the ribs 3, the cost of the boomerang will undoubtedly increase greatly, which is obviously not ideal.
On the premise of not increasing the extension length of the ribs 3, in order to make the accommodation space 7 have the largest accommodation volume, the extension track of the ribs 3 in this preferred embodiment is configured as y=±√{square root over ((r²−x²))} or x=±√{square root over ((r²−y²))}. According to Euclidean geometry, when the circumference is the same, the surface area of a circle is the largest, and when the surface area is the same, the volume of a sphere is the largest. The demonstration process of this basis is the existing academic knowledge, so it will not be discussed in this paper.
In some embodiments, the extension track of the ribs 3 can be other shapes, as shown in FIG. 8 , the extension track of the ribs 3 is y=ax²+bx+c: as shown in FIG. 9 , the extension tracks of the ribs 3 are y=kx+b and
$y = \frac{k}{x} (k \neq 0) .$
By analogy, the extension track of the rib 3 can be any desired shape.
As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the extension track of the rib 3 is configured as y=±√{square root over (r²−x²))} or x=±√{square root over ((r²−y²))}. With this configuration, the outer contour of the boomerang is closer to a regular sphere, and the operation is more in line with the usage habits of operators.
As shown in FIG. 10 , the boomerang disclosed in U.S. patent application No. 20200238188 adopts the operation mode of pressing the upper cover and the lower cover with two fingers and then throwing them out. In this operation mode, only the upper and lower covers of the boomerang are pressed by fingers, and the force can't be consistent when thrown, so that the flight trajectory of the thrown boomerang has great uncertainty and can't run according to the expected flight trajectory, which greatly reduces the operator's actual use experience. Similarly, the number of optional flight trajectories of the boomerang is limited due to the limitation of wrist joints.
As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides a boomerang, which throws the boomerang out of flight by grasping the boomerang with the palm. As shown in FIG. 11 , when in use, the palm of the operator grasps the boomerang which forms an approximate sphere. At this time, five fingers and palms are evenly distributed on the surface of the boomerang. The central shaft 5 installed on the first base 1 and the second base 2 of the protective device 8 will balance the thrown external force on the central shaft 5, so as to ensure that the external force acting on the protective device 8 will not change its angular momentum when the flight component 4 rotates at a high speed. That is, when the boomerang provided by the present invention is thrown. Furthermore, with the grasping throwing form, there are more throwing paths that can be selected, more flight trajectories of boomerangs, and a better user experience.
As shown in FIG. 17 , when the boomerang provided by the present invention tilts around the central axis 5, the flight component 4 generates wind force F2 as shown in the figure, which can be divided into two parts: an offset force F4 and an ascending force F3; The offset F4 will make the boomerang drift in one direction; The gyro effect generated by the first propeller 411 and the second propeller 412 of the flight component 4 keeps the deflection angle of the flight toy about the central axis 5 from changing, and the flight toy will always fly in this direction under the action of the deflection force F4.
FIG. 18 shows the flight trajectory of the boomerang provided by the present invention after being thrown out. When the operator preset the included angle with the central axis 5 as the axis, and the direction of the thrust F1 is opposite to that of the offset force F4, the boomerang is pushed out by the thrust F1. The gyro effect generated by the first propeller 411 and the second propeller 412 of the flight component 4 keeps the offset angle of the boomerang with the central axis 5 unchanged. When the thrust force F1 is greater than the offset force F4, the boomerang first flies along the flight path S1 in the direction of the thrust force F1, until the thrust force F1 disappears, and the boomerang flies along the flight path S2 at the corresponding offset angle under the action of the offset force F4.
FIG. 19 shows another flight trajectory of the boomerang of the present invention. When the operator preset the included angle about the central axis 5, and the direction of the thrust F1 is the same as that of the offset force F4, the boomerang is pushed out by the thrust F1. The gyro effect generated by the first propeller 411 and the second propeller 412 of the flight component 4 keeps the offset angle of the boomerang about the central axis 5 unchanged, and the pushed thrust F1 is superimposed with the offset force F4, and the boomerang will fly in the direction of the thrust F1.
In order to better protect the flight components 4 covered by the ribs 3, the ribs 3 are configured to be made of elastic materials and distributed crosswise. When the boomerang collides with an obstacle, the ribs 3 made of elastic materials can produce elastic deformation, absorb the corresponding collision energy, and provide buffer protection for the flight component 4; Similarly, the cross distribution of the ribs 3 further enhances the structural strength and reduces the probability of fracture or damage of the ribs 3. At the same time, the ribs 3 can also protect the operator, preventing the wings of the flight component from flying out and causing harm to the operator.
In order to make the boomerang have better flying performance, the ribs 3 are configured in a hollow grid shape to reduce the weight of the ribs 3, and the grid pattern can be configured in any pattern shape; The propeller component 41 is configured as two pairs of first propellers 411 and second propellers 412, which are arranged in parallel and rotate in opposite directions, so as to counteract the torsional force generated when the propellers rotate; The rotating shafts of the first propeller 411 and the second propeller 412 are arranged coaxially with the central shaft 5, so that the center of lift generated by the propeller component 41 is on the same axis as the center of gravity of the boomerang.
The first propeller 411 is driven by the motor 42, and the reaction force generated when the first propeller 411 rotates will push the motor base 43 to rotate, and then drive the bracket 48 and the second propeller 412 fixedly connected with the motor base 43 to rotate. At this time, the rotation direction of the bracket 48 and the second propeller 412 is opposite to that of the first propeller 411, so that the torsional forces between the first propeller 411 and the second propeller 412 are mutually offset, and at the same time, lift force is generated, so that the boomerang can fly.
During the flying process of boomerangs, the position of the center of gravity is also a factor affecting the flying stability. Once the center of gravity shifts, it will lead to unstable flight trajectory, and make the boomerang run on an unsatisfactory flight trajectory.
As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the central shaft 5 is configured to be coaxial with the rotating shafts of the first propeller 411 and the second propeller 412. This has the advantage that the center of gravity of the boomerang can be kept on the same axis as the center of lift generated by the propeller component 41, and the angular momentum generated when the first propeller 411 and the second propeller 412 rotate will not change, so that the boomerang in operation will have a gyro effect. After the boomerang is thrown, the flying angle of the boomerang remains unchanged due to the gyro effect generated by the rotation of the bracket 48 and the propeller, and the boomerang will continue to fly along the direction of this angle. The user can preset the throwing angle of the boomerang, so as to obtain different flight trajectories.
According to the teaching of U.S. Pat. No. 6,843,699, when the center of gravity is above the center of lift, the flying effect of boomerangs will increase. As shown in FIG. 12 , the propeller component 41 of the present invention is arranged below the motor base 43, and the lifting force F3 generated by the propeller component 41 pushes the boomerang upward. At this time, the center of gravity G of the boomerang is above the lifting force center F generated by the propeller component 41, thus making the boomerang more stable in flight.
FIG. 13 shows another exemplary embodiment of a boomerang provided by the present invention, which has all the technical features of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. In order to make it more ornamental and playable, the boomerang also includes a light emitting component 6.
As shown in FIG. 14 , the light emitting assembly 6 is configured as a light bar 61, which can be a flexible LED light bar, and is electrically connected with the circuit board 46 in the flight component 4. In order to make the boomerang more enjoyable and playable, the bracket 48 is further provided with a light source bracket 62, which is designed to fix the light bar 61. The outer periphery of the second propeller 412 is formed with an outer ring 4121, and the outer ring 4121 is formed with a mounting platform at its end edge. The mounting table 4122 is also designed to fix the light bar 61, wherein the light bar 61 is designed to rotate synchronously with the bracket 48, and the radius of rotation coincides with the maximum rotation radius of the rotating device 401. At the same time, the circuit board 46 can control different light-emitting units on the light bar 61, so as to realize stereoscopic light picture display during rotation.
Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 21 , the light source bracket 62 is arranged below the first propeller 411 and sleeved on the central shaft 5. One end of the light bar 61 is electrically connected with the circuit board 46, the other end is fixedly connected with the light source bracket 62, and the middle part is fixedly connected with the mounting table 4122. The light source bracket 62 can rotate relative to the axis of the central shaft 5, so when the bracket 48 rotates, the bracket 48 will drive.
In this embodiment, the outer periphery of the second propeller 412 is formed with an outer ring 4121, the radius of which is larger than the rotation radius of the blades of the second propeller 412, and the outer ring 4121 is fixedly connected with the bracket 48 through the blades of the second propeller 412. On the one hand, the outer ring 4121 can protect the blades of the second propeller 412 and increase the safety of the flight component 4; on the other hand, the outer ring 4121 fixedly connected with the bracket 48 can also increase the flight rotation of the boomerang.
In order to make the boomerang have other types of light and shadow effects, the position of the lighting assembly 6 can be set according to the actual requirements. FIG. 15 shows that the lighting assembly 6 is arranged on the propeller blade, which also adopts the LED light bar made of flexible material, which can also make the boomerang have dynamic light and shadow visual effects. As shown in FIG. 16 , the position of the light-emitting component 6 can also be arranged on the rib 3. As the light-emitting component 6 is arranged on the outer surface of the rib 3, the light emitted by the light-emitting component 6 is not blocked by the rib 3. The boomerang has more realistic visual effect and better appreciation. In addition, the light-emitting components 6 can be configured in various ways, including but not limited to thermal radiation light sources, gas discharge light sources, electroluminescent light sources, etc., and their positions can also be arranged inside or outside the ribs 3 according to the actual use requirements, and the number of them can also be configured in multiple ways, or their light-emitting effects can be controlled independently, without linkage with the flight components 4.
Now, referring to FIG. 20 , the boomerang provided by the present invention has other playing methods besides the throwing method. The user can place the boomerang on the palm of his hand. When the wind F2 of the boomerang puts pressure on the palm of his hand, the palm of his hand also gives the boomerang a reaction force, so that the boomerang can be suspended above the palm of his hand.
FIG. 22 shows another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 21 , the boomerang includes a flight component 4, a central shaft 5 and a protective device 8. The flight component 4 includes at least one rotating device 401, a driving device 402 and a bracket 48 with a cavity, wherein the maximum diameter rotating plane formed by the rotating device 401 when rotating defines the outer perimeter of the flight component 4, and the rotating device 401 rotates coaxially around the center axis defined by the maximum diameter rotating plane. The center shaft 5 coincides with the center axis, and one end of the center shaft 5 is connected with the first base 1, which is separated from the upper and lower ends of the flight component 4; The protective device 8 is composed of a plurality of ribs 3 connected to each other, and is arranged around the flight component 4, wherein the inner diameter of the protective device 8 is larger than the outer periphery of the flight component 4.
Different from the preferred embodiment of the present invention, in this embodiment, the second end 52 of the central shaft 5 is not received by the second base 2, but a sleeve 53 is sleeved on the second end 52. The sleeve 53 is tightly connected with the second end, and the sleeve 53 can keep the rotating shaft of the rotating device 401 coaxial with the central shaft 5. The boomerang adopting this scheme also has good flying performance and can also protect the flight component 4.
FIG. 23 shows another embodiment of the present invention, which adopts the same main structure as the embodiment shown in FIG. 22 , and the difference is the design angle of the second propeller 412 blade. As shown in FIG. 23 , the concave surface of the blade of the second propeller 412 of the rotating device 401 faces the driving device 402. This arrangement can also make the boomerang have better flying performance and playability.
The technical means disclosed in the scheme of the present invention is not limited to the technical means disclosed in the above embodiments, but also includes the technical scheme composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the technical field, several improvements and embellishments can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and embellishments are also regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
