DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0034] Example embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the same numbers refer to the same or similar elements unless otherwise specified. The described embodiments are merely examples of devices consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure.
[0035] Herein, the terms first, second, third, and the like, are merely for illustrating various information, but not intended to limit the information. The terms are merely used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information. As used herein, the word if can be interpreted as when, while, or in response to.
[0036] The present disclosure provides a propeller assembly including a forward propeller and a reverse propeller. The forward propeller can refer to a propeller rotating counterclockwise (CCW) to generate lift when viewed from a tail of a motor (example of a driving device) to a head of the motor. The reverse propeller can refer to a propeller rotating clockwise (CW) to generate lift when viewed from the tail of the motor to the head of the motor. The azimuth terms, for example, up, down, and the like, can be defined according to normal operation attitudes of the propeller assembly and an aircraft, after the propeller assembly is mounted at the aircraft.
[0037] Hereinafter, the propeller assembly, a power assembly, and the aircraft consistent with the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless conflicting, the described embodiments and features of the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0041] Consistent with the disclosure, the first propeller tip 112 of the propeller assembly 100 can be configured to extend obliquely along the span direction of the first propeller blade 11 toward the side where the first propeller suction surface 114 is located. The second propeller tip 212 can be configured to extend obliquely along the span direction of the second propeller blade 21 toward the side where the second propeller suction surface 214 is located. The propeller assembly 100 using the first propeller blade 11 and the second propeller blade 21 can reduce air resistance and improve tension and efficiency. A flight distance of an aircraft 1000 (shown in
[0042] Referring again to
[0043]
[0044] The first propeller pressure surface 113 can refer to a surface of the first propeller blade 11 facing the ground during a normal flight of the aircraft 1000, and the first propeller suction surface 114 can refer to a surface of the first propeller blade 11 facing the sky during the normal flight of the aircraft 1000.
[0045] In some embodiments, the first propeller blade 11 can form a first propeller recurve 1122 at a position of the first propeller tip 112, and the first propeller leading edge 115 can be configured to extend obliquely from the first propeller recurve 1122 along the span direction of the first propeller blade 11 toward the side where the first propeller suction surface 114 is located. As shown in
[0046] In some embodiments, the first propeller trailing edge 116 can be convex to form a curved first propeller arching portion 1161 proximal to the first propeller root 111 to further improve a pulling force of the first propeller 10.
[0047] In some embodiments, the first propeller 10 further includes a first propeller hub 12 and at least two first propeller blades 11. The at least two first propeller blades 11 can be connected to the first propeller hub 12 and centrosymmetric to each other about a center of the first propeller hub 12. Therefore, a balance of the first propeller 10 can be improved. The first propeller hub 12 may have a cylindrical shape, or a cross section of the first propeller hub 12 may have an oval shape, a rhombus shape, or the like. The center of the first propeller hub 12 can include a connecting hole configured to sleeve an output end of the motor. Each first propeller blade 11 may have an elongated shape, and each first propeller blade 11 can be connected to the first propeller hub 12 and extend along a radial direction of the first propeller hub 12.
[0048] As shown in
[0049] In some embodiments, a side surface of a free end of the first propeller tip 112 can be flat, and thus, an appearance of the first propeller 11 can be further improved.
[0050] In some embodiments, a distance from the first propeller recurve 1122 to the center of the first propeller hub 12 can be 82.5% of a radius of the first propeller 10. As such, the first propeller curve 1122 can be far away from the center of the first propeller hub 12, thereby improving the overall appearance of the first propeller 10.
[0051] In some embodiments, the first propeller suction surface 114 and the first propeller pressure surface 113 can have curved surfaces. The first propeller suction surface 114 and the first propeller pressure surface 113 having the curved aerodynamic shapes can prevent the turbulence and downwash generated by each portion of the first propeller blade 11 from directly impacting the housing of the aircraft 1000, thereby reducing the overall noise of the aircraft 1000.

[0053] As shown in Table 1, at a position where the distance between the first propeller blade 11 and the center of the first propeller hub 12 is 54.8625 mm, the first propeller backward-sweeping portion 1121 can start to extend obliquely from the first propeller leading edge 115 to the first propeller trailing edge 116. When a plurality of first propeller blades 11 operate at the same time, each of the first blade backward-sweeping portion 1121 can regularly extend from the first blade leading edge 115 to the first blade trailing edge 116. As such, the turbulence and downwash airflow generated by interactions of the plurality of first propeller blades 11 can be reduced, the turbulence and downwash airflow impacting the housing of the aircraft 1000 can be reduced, the air resistance of the first propeller blade 11 can be reduced, and the maneuverability of the aircraft 1000 can be improved, thereby causing the aircraft 1000 to be more stable. The noise generated by the impact of turbulence and downwash airflow on the housing of the aircraft 1000 can be further reduced.

[0055] As shown in Table. 2, at the position where the distance between the first propeller blade 11 and the center of the first propeller hub 12 is 54.8625 mm, the first propeller leading edge 115 can start to extend obliquely along the span direction of the first propeller blade 11 toward the side where the first propeller suction surface 114 of the first propeller 10 is located. That is, the first propeller blade 11 can start to be dihedral at the position where the distance between the first propeller blade 11 and the center of the first propeller hub 12 is 54.8625 mm. When the plurality of first propeller blades 11 operate at the same time, each of the first propeller leading edge 115 can regularly extend from the first propeller recurve 1122 along the span direction of the first propeller blade 11 toward the side where the first propeller suction surface 114 of the first propeller 10 is located. As such, the turbulence and downwash airflow generated by the interactions of the plurality of first propeller blades 11 can be reduced, and the turbulence and downwash airflow impacting the housing of the aircraft 1000 can be reduced. Furthermore, a lift point of the first propeller blade 11 can be rated, such that the aircraft 1000 can automatically correct a flight attitude, increase an inertial stability of the aircraft 1000, thereby causing the aircraft 1000 to fly more smoothly. The noise generated by the impact of turbulence and downwash airflow on the housing of the aircraft 1000 can be further reduced.

[0078] The structure of the second propeller 20 can be mirror-symmetrical to the structure of the first propeller 10.
[0079] The second propeller pressure surface 213 can refer to a surface of the second propeller blade 21 facing the ground during the normal flight of the aircraft 1000, and the second propeller suction surface 214 can refer to a surface of the second propeller blade 21 facing the sky during the normal flight of the aircraft 1000.
[0080] In some embodiments, the second propeller blade 21 can form a second propeller recurve 2122 at a position of the second propeller tip 212, and the second propeller leading edge 215 can be configured to extend obliquely from the second propeller recurve 2122 along the span direction of the second propeller blade 21 toward the side where the second propeller pressure surface 213 is located. As shown in
[0081] In some embodiments, the second propeller trailing edge 216 can be convex to form a curved second propeller arching portion 2161 proximal to the second propeller root 211 to further improve a pulling force of the second propeller 20.
[0082] In some embodiments, the second propeller 20 further includes a second propeller hub 22 and at least two second propeller blades 21. The at least two second propeller blades 21 can be connected to the second propeller hub 22 and centrosymmetric to each other about a center of the second propeller hub 22. Therefore, a balance of the second propeller 20 can be improved. The second propeller hub 22 may have a cylindrical shape, or a cross section of the second propeller hub 22 may have an oval shape, a rhombus shape, or the like. The center of the second propeller hub 22 can include a connecting hole configured to sleeve an output end of the motor. Each second propeller blade 21 may have an elongated shape, and each second propeller blade 21 can be connected to the second propeller hub 22 and extend along a radial direction of the second propeller hub 22.
[0083] In some embodiments, the second propeller blade 21 can have a second propeller center axis passing through the center of the second propeller hub 22, and the second propeller leading edge 215 can have a second propeller leading edge tangent line parallel to the second propeller center axis. The second propeller trailing edge 216 can have a second propeller trailing edge tangent line parallel to the second propeller center axis, and the second propeller backward-sweeping portion 2121 can be located between the second propeller leading edge tangent line and the second propeller trailing edge tangent line. As such, the second propeller backward-sweeping portion 2121 can reduce the turbulence and downwash airflow generated by the second propeller blade 21, thereby reducing the turbulence and downwash airflow impacting the housing of the aircraft 1000. An air resistance of the second propeller 10 can be reduced, the maneuverability of the aircraft 1000 can be improved, the aircraft 1000 can be more stable, and the overall noise of the aircraft 1000 can be further reduced.
[0084] In some embodiments, a side surface of a free end of the second propeller tip 212 can be flat, and thus, an appearance of the second propeller 21 can be further improved.
[0085] In some embodiments, a distance from the second propeller recurve 2122 to the center of the second propeller hub 22 can be 82.5% of a radius of the second propeller 10. As such, the first propeller curve 1122 can be far away from the center of the first propeller hub 22, thereby improving the overall appearance of the second propeller 20.
[0086] In some embodiments, the second propeller suction surface 214 and the second propeller pressure surface 213 can have curved surfaces. The second propeller suction surface 214 and the second propeller pressure surface 213 having the curved aerodynamic shapes can prevent the turbulence and downwash generated by each portion of the second propeller blade 21 from directly impacting the housing of the aircraft 1000, thereby reducing the overall noise of the aircraft 1000.
[0087] In some embodiments, a rotation direction of the first propeller 10 can be opposite to a rotation direction of the second propeller 20. Due to a spin torque generated when the first propeller 10 or the second propeller 20 rotates individually, the aircraft 1000 can spin. Therefore, if the rotation direction of the first propeller 10 and the rotation direction of the second propeller 20 can be opposite, the spin torques generated by the rotation of the first propeller 10 and the rotation of the second propeller 20 can be offset, thereby causing the aircraft 1000 to fly more smoothly.
[0088] In some embodiments, the first propeller 10 can include a forward propeller, and the second propeller 20 can include a reverse propeller. For example, the first propeller 10 can include a propeller rotating counterclockwise to generate the lift, and the second propeller 20 can include a propeller rotating clockwise to generate the lift.
[0089] In some embodiments, the propeller assembly 100 can include a multi-rotor propeller assembly, and the first propeller 10 can be neighboring to the second propeller 20. For example, the multi-rotor propeller assembly can simultaneously install the plurality of first propellers 10 and the plurality of second propellers 20. The plurality of first propellers 10 and the plurality of second propellers 20 can be alternately arranged to offset the spin torques generated by the rotation of each first propeller 10 and the rotation of each second propeller 20, such that the aircraft 1000 can fly more smoothly.
[0090] In some embodiments, the propeller assembly 100 can include a four-rotor propeller assembly having two first propellers 10 and two second propellers 20, and each first propeller 10 can be arranged neighboring to the two second propellers 20. For example, the four-rotor propeller assembly can include two first propellers 10 and two second propellers 20 at the same time. The first propellers 10 and the second propellers 20 can be diagonally distributed. That is, each first propeller 10 can be arranged neighboring to the two second propellers 20 and each second propeller 20 can be arranged neighboring to the two first propellers 10. Since the rotation directions of the two first propellers 10 and the two second propellers 20 are different, for example, the two first propellers 10 can rotate counterclockwise at the same time, the two second propellers 20 can rotate clockwise at the same time, or the two first propellers 10 can rotate counterclockwise at the same time, and the two second propellers 20 can rotate counterclockwise at the same time, the spin torques can be offset, such that the aircraft 1000 can fly more smoothly.

[0092] As shown in Table 3, at a position where the distance between the second propeller blade 21 and the center of the second propeller hub 22 is 54.8625 mm, the second propeller backward-sweeping portion 2121 can start to extend obliquely from the second propeller leading edge 215 to the second propeller trailing edge 216. When the plurality of second propeller blades 21 operate at the same time, each of the second blade backward-sweeping portion 2121 can regularly extend from the second blade leading edge 215 to the second blade trailing edge 216. As such, the turbulence and downwash airflow generated by interactions of the plurality of second propeller blades 21 can be reduced, the turbulence and downwash airflow impacting the housing of the aircraft 1000 can be reduced, the air resistance of the second propeller blade 21 can be reduced, and the maneuverability of the aircraft 1000 can be improved, thereby causing the aircraft 1000 to be more stable.

[0094] As shown in Table. 4, at the position where the distance between the second propeller blade 21 and the center of the second propeller hub 22 is 54.8625 mm, the second propeller leading edge 215 can start to extend obliquely along the span direction of the second propeller blade 21 toward the side where the second propeller pressure surface 213 of the second propeller 20 is located. That is, the second propeller blade 21 can start to be anhedral at the position where the distance between the second propeller blade 21 and the center of the second propeller hub 22 is 54.8625 mm. When the plurality of second propeller blades 21 operate at the same time, each of the second propeller leading edge 215 can regularly extend from the second propeller recurve 2122 along the span direction of the second propeller blade 21 toward the side where the second propeller pressure surface 213 of the second propeller 20 is located. As such, the turbulence and downwash airflow generated by the interactions of the plurality of second propeller blades 21 can be reduced, and the turbulence and downwash airflow impacting the housing of the aircraft 1000 can be reduced. Furthermore, a lift point of the second propeller blade 21 can be rated, such that the aircraft 1000 can automatically correct the flight attitude, increase the inertial stability of the aircraft 1000, thereby causing the aircraft 1000 to fly more smoothly. The noise generated by the impact of turbulence and downwash airflow on the housing of the aircraft 1000 can be further reduced.
[0095] Since the structure of the second propeller 20 and the structure of the first propeller 10 are mirror-symmetrical to each other, the parameters of the second propeller 20, e.g., the diameter, the second propeller AOA, the second propeller chord length, and the like, can be consistent with those of the first propeller 10.
