DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0058] The present disclosure will be further described below in a manner of embodiments, but the present disclosure is not limited to the scope of the embodiments accordingly.
Embodiment 1
[0059] The present embodiment discloses a multi-rotor aircraft with multi-shaft dislocation layout. As shown in
[0060] In this implementation mode, the upper-layer propeller blades 40 and the lower-layer propeller blades 50 are staggered, so that a propeller blade pitch between the upper-layer propeller blades 40 and the lower-layer propeller blades 50 is relatively large; the central axis of the upper-layer power sources 20 and the central axis of the lower-layer power sources 30 are not collinear or do not overlap; and the upper-layer propeller blades 40 and the lower-layer propeller blades 50 have a relatively small overlap area in the projection direction of the frame 10. Compared with a 4-shaft 8-propeller coaxial multi-rotor aircraft in the prior art, the multi-rotor aircraft with multi-shaft dislocation layout is that the upper-layer propeller blades 40 and the lower-layer propeller blades 50 have a relatively large vertical height difference and generate a relatively low mutual disturbance, and the propeller efficiency is higher; and a correspondingly required propeller rotation speed is lower, and the noise is lower. Compared with an 8-shaft 8-propeller multi-rotor aircraft in the prior art, the multi-rotor aircraft with multi-shaft dislocation layout is that the overall size is greatly reduced, and the weight, the volume and the flight resistance of the fuselage are also obviously reduced. Compared with the multi-rotor aircraft in the prior art, the multi-rotor aircraft with multi-shaft dislocation layout can apparently reduce the flight resistance and volume under the same loading capacity, and improve the propeller efficiency.
[0061] In addition, the centers of the upper-layer propeller blades 40 and the centers of the lower-layer propeller blades 50 are located on the flat geometric figure along the projection direction of the frame 10. That is, a lateral length of the multi-rotor aircraft is greater than a longitudinal length. In case of a high loading requirement, the multi-rotor aircraft does not need to be enlarged proportionally, but the number of shafts can be increased from the center of the frame 10 to a corresponding narrower section in the flat geometric figure. For example, an 8-shaft multi-rotor aircraft is changed into a 10-shaft or 12-shaft multi-rotor aircraft to meet the loading requirement, which has less influence on the volume and weight of the multi-rotor aircraft. In addition, the centers of the upper-layer propeller blades 40 and the centers of the lower-layer propeller blades 50 are located on the flat geometric figure, so that the multi-rotor aircraft has a relatively low requirement for transportation equipment, and is convenient to transport.
[0062] In summary, compared with the multi-rotor aircraft in the prior art, the present disclosure is that on the one hand, under the same loading capacity, the flight resistance and volume of the multi-rotor aircraft with multi-shaft dislocation layout are obviously reduced, and the propeller efficiency is improved; on the other hand, the multi-rotor aircraft with multi-shaft dislocation layout can meet a higher loading requirement in the case of less influence on the volume and weight of the multi-rotor aircraft, and the multi-rotor aircraft has a relatively low requirement for transportation equipment.
[0063] In this implementation mode, the above-mentioned geometric figure is an axisymmetric figure. In such setting, the multi-rotor aircraft is convenient to manufacture and assemble. Specifically, in this implementation mode, the centers of the plurality of upper-layer propeller blades 40 and the centers of the plurality of lower-layer propeller blades 50 are located on the same rectangle along the projection direction of the frame.
[0064] In other replaceable implementation modes, the centers of the plurality of upper-layer propeller blades 40 and the centers of the plurality of lower-layer propeller blades 50 may also be located on other flat geometric figures, such as the same ellipse.
[0065] In this implementation mode, an overlap area between any adjacent upper-layer propeller blade 40 and lower-layer propeller blade 50 is equal to an overlap area between another adjacent upper-layer propeller blade 40 and lower-layer propeller blade 50 along the projection direction of the frame 10.
[0066] For any two groups of adjacent upper-layer propeller blades 40 and lower-layer propeller blades 50, the overlap areas of the upper-layer propeller blades 40 and the lower-layer propeller blades 50 are equal, so that a lift generated by each propeller blade (the upper-layer propeller blade 40 or the lower-layer propeller blade 50) in a lift system of the multi-rotor aircraft is the same, which is conductive to guaranteeing the performance of the multi-rotor aircraft. That is, the multi-rotor aircraft can meet a higher loading requirement on the basis of guaranteeing the performance and in the case of less influence on the volume and weight of the multi-rotor aircraft.
[0067] As mentioned above, on the basis that the centers of the upper-layer propeller blades 40 and the centers of the lower-layer propeller blades 50 are located on the same flat geometric figure, if the overlap areas of the upper-layer propeller blades 40 and the lower-layer propeller blades 50 are equal, a plurality of included angles encircled between the plurality of upper-layer propeller blades 40 and the plurality of lower-layer propeller blades 50 (included angles are encircled between the adjacent upper-layer propeller blades and lower-layer propeller blades) are not completely the same along the projection direction of the frame 10, that is, the plurality of upper-layer propeller blades 40 and the plurality of lower-layer propeller blades 50 are disposed at unequal intervals.
[0068] It should be noted that in this implementation mode, the upper-layer power sources 20 and the lower-layer power sources 30 are motors. In other replaceable implementation modes, other types of power sources can also be used according to an actual need.
[0069] In addition, in this implementation mode, as shown in
[0070] Referring to
[0071] Continuing to refer to
[0072] As shown in
[0073] The corresponding connecting arms 102 are no longer of a cantilever structure due to the arrangement of the reinforcing arms 103, but the reinforcing arms and the adjacent connecting arms 102 can encircle a structure similar to a triangle to facilitate improving the rigidity of the fuselage and reducing vibration generated by deformation of the aircraft.
[0074] Specifically, in this implementation mode, all the accommodating regions formed between the plurality of connecting arms 102 are provided with the reinforcing arms 103. All the connecting arms 102 are no longer of the cantilever structure under the action of the reinforcing arms 103, which is conductive to significantly improving the rigidity of the fuselage, so that the vibration generated by the deformation of the aircraft can be significantly reduced.
[0075] In this implementation mode, the connecting arms 102, the reinforcing arms 103 and the frame center portion 101 are integrated. In such setting, connecting structures are eliminated, so that a relatively tedious connecting process is eliminated, and it is conductive to reducing the overall weight of the aircraft and then reducing the flight resistance of the aircraft.
[0076] It should be noted that in other replaceable implementation modes, the connecting arms 102 may also be detachably connected or fixedly connected to the reinforcing arms 103 and the frame center portion 101 to form an integrated structure. In such setting, fast assembling of the aircraft is convenient to realize.
[0077] Continuing to refer to
[0078] In this implementation mode, the multi-motor aircraft includes an upper-layer component and a lower-layer component which are detachably connected. The upper-layer component includes the frame 10, the plurality of upper-layer propeller blades 40, the plurality of upper-layer power sources 20, the plurality of lower-layer propeller blades 50 and the plurality of lower-layer power sources 30. The lower-layer component includes an undercarriage (not shown) and an operating load unit which are connected to each other; the operating load unit includes a load (not shown) and an energy load module (not shown); the energy load module is used to supply power to the upper-layer power sources 20 and the lower-layer power sources 30; the load and the undercarriage are connected to the energy load module; and the energy load module is detachably connected to the lower side of the frame 10.
[0079] What is specifically the load is determined according to the use of the multi-rotor aircraft. The load may be a fire extinguishing bomb or may be other materials such as pesticide. The energy load module may be a battery.
[0080] By the adoption of the above setting, the multi-rotor aircraft mainly includes the upper-layer component and the lower-layer component. On the one hand, the upper-layer component and the lower-layer component can be transported independently, so that a requirement for transportation conditions are relatively low; on the other hand, after the upper-layer component and the lower-layer component are connected together, more convenient and faster assembling of the multi-rotor aircraft can be realized, which is conductive to reducing the preparatory work before take-off and improving the fast reaction performance of the multi-rotor aircraft. The energy load module and the undercarriage are assembled together and arranged below the frame 10.
[0081] Those used to connect the plurality of upper-layer propeller blades 40 from among the plurality of connecting arms 102 are first connecting arms, and those used to connect the plurality of lower-layer propeller blades 50 from among the plurality of connecting arms 102 are second connecting arms. An edge of the energy load module extends to the plurality of first connecting arms and are detachably connected to the plurality of first connecting arms. If the energy load module is relatively large in size, when it needs to extend to a position corresponding to the connecting arms 102, the energy load module is connected to the connecting arms 102, and the connection is relatively convenient and reliable. In addition, compared with connection of the energy load module to the second connecting arms, the connection of the energy load module to the first connecting arms is conductive to avoiding interference between the energy load module and the lower-layer propeller blades 50, conductive to protecting the lower-layer propeller blades 50, and then conductive to improving the reliability of the multi-rotor aircraft.
[0082] In other replaceable implementation modes, the energy load module may also be assembled together with the frame 10, and is arranged above the frame 10. At this time, the multi-motor aircraft includes an upper-layer component and a lower-layer component which are detachably connected. The upper-layer component includes the frame 10, the plurality of upper-layer propeller blades 40, the plurality of upper-layer power sources 20, the plurality of lower-layer propeller blades 50, the plurality of lower-layer power sources 30 and an energy load module; the energy load module is used to supply power to the upper-layer power sources 20 and the lower-layer power sources 30; and the energy load module is connected to the upper side of the frame 10. The lower-layer component includes an undercarriage and a load; and the undercarriage and the load are connected to the lower side of the frame 10.
[0083] In the multi-rotor aircraft with multi-shaft dislocation layout, the upper-layer propeller blades 40 and the lower-layer propeller blades 50 are staggered, so that a propeller blade pitch between the upper-layer propeller blades 40 and the lower-layer propeller blades 50 is relatively large; the central axis of the upper-layer power sources 20 and the central axis of the lower-layer power sources 30 are not collinear or do not overlap; and the upper-layer propeller blades 40 and the lower-layer propeller blades 50 have a relatively small overlap area in the projection direction of the frame 10. Compared with a 4-shaft 8-propeller coaxial multi-rotor aircraft in the prior art, the multi-rotor aircraft with multi-shaft dislocation layout is that the upper-layer propeller blades 40 and the lower-layer propeller blades 50 have a relatively large vertical height difference and generate a relatively low mutual disturbance, and the propeller efficiency is higher; and a correspondingly required propeller rotation speed is lower, and the noise is lower. Compared with an 8-shaft 8-propeller multi-rotor aircraft in the prior art, the multi-rotor aircraft with multi-shaft dislocation layout is that the overall size is greatly reduced, and the weight, the volume and the flight resistance of the fuselage are also obviously reduced.
[0084] In addition, compared with 4-shaft 8-propeller and 8-shaft 8-propeller multi-rotor aircrafts, the multi-rotor aircraft with multi-shaft dislocation layout is that the frame 10 is no longer of a cantilever structure, so that the rigidity of the fuselage can also be improved, and the vibration generated by the deformation of the aircraft can be reduced. Compared with the multi-rotor aircraft in the prior art, the multi-rotor aircraft with multi-shaft dislocation layout can apparently reduce the flight resistance and volume under the same loading capacity, and improve the propeller efficiency and the rigidity of the fuselage.
[0085] In addition, as mentioned above, along the projection direction of the frame 10, the centers of the plurality of upper-layer propeller blades 40 and the centers of the plurality of lower-layer propeller blades 50 are located on the same rectangle, and the overlap area between any adjacent upper-layer propeller blade 40 and lower-layer propeller blade 50 is equal to an overlap area between another adjacent upper-layer propeller blade 40 and lower-layer propeller blade 50, so that the multi-rotor aircraft can meet a higher loading requirement on the basis of guaranteeing the performance and in the case of less influence on the volume and weight of the multi-rotor aircraft; and the multi-rotor aircraft has a relatively low requirement for transportation equipment.
Embodiment 2
[0086] The structure of the multi-rotor aircraft with multi-shaft dislocation layout in the present embodiment is basically the same as the structure of the multi-rotor aircraft with multi-shaft dislocation layout in Embodiment 1, but mainly differs in the number of propeller blades and the number of power sources. The identical numerals in the present embodiment and Embodiment 1 refer to the same elements.
[0087] As shown in
