Hand-held underwater aircraft

Abstract

A handheld underwater aircraft includes a battery compartment (12) and propellers. There are at least two propellers, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the battery compartment (12), and are connected to the battery compartment (12). A special design with axes of the propellers being unparallel with an axis of the battery compartment (12) is adopted, and unparallel included angles make component forces generated by the various propellers in a direction of motion of a non-underwater aircraft offset each other, and enable the underwater aircraft to maintain balanced and forward-forward motion. The design with the axes of the propellers being unparallel with the axis of the battery compartment (12) leads to a little power loss, but avoids a larger power loss caused by the impact of water on the human body, thereby comprehensively improving the thrust of the underwater aircraft in use.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of underwater propulsion equipment, and in particular, to a handheld underwater aircraft.

BACKGROUND

Generally, in an underwater aircraft with a plurality of propellers, the axes of the propellers are parallel to each other, and are parallel to the direction of motion of the underwater aircraft, and the underwater aircraft has a relatively small size. When this type of product is used, water sprayed from a propeller screw of the propeller is easily splashed on the face or body of the user. This is more obvious for beginners in swimming or people with a wider body. As a result, on the one hand, a lot of thrust is lost; on the other hand, in order to prevent the water from impacting on the face and affecting the line of sight, it is necessary to adjust the posture of the arms or body, which limits the freedom of the body to a certain extent and reduces the overall experience.

SUMMARY

The technical problem to be solved by the present disclosure is to provide a handheld underwater aircraft to solve at least one of the above technical problems in view of the disadvantages of the prior art.

The technical solution of the present disclosure to solve the above technical problems is as follows: a handheld underwater aircraft, including a battery compartment and propellers; there are at least two propellers, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the battery compartment, and are connected to the battery compartment; and a special design in which axes of the propellers and an axis of the battery compartment form non-parallel included angles is adopted.

The present disclosure has the following beneficial effects: Propellers are arranged symmetrically with respect to a battery compartment, which can ensure the balance of the present disclosure and maintain straight-forward motion of the underwater aircraft; an axis of each of the propellers and an axis of the battery compartment is set to form a certain included angle, such that when the underwater aircraft is advancing in the water, there is an angular deviation between the water coming out of the propeller and the direction of motion of the underwater aircraft, and the water coming out of the propeller will not be sprayed on the face or body of a user against the direction of motion of the underwater aircraft; due to symmetrical arrangement of the propellers, component forces generated by the propellers in a direction of motion of a non-underwater aircraft offset each other out, so that the underwater aircraft maintains balanced and straight-forward motion; the arrangement that the axis of the propeller and the axis of the battery compartment form a certain included angle leads to a very small natural loss, but avoids a larger power loss caused by water impacting on the human body, and improves the efficiency of advancing of the underwater aircraft in the water; moreover, the water does not impact on the user's face, thereby effectively preventing the user from inhaling water, making the user feel more comfortable and safer, and effectively improving overall user experience.

The handheld underwater aircraft of the present disclosure has significant beneficial effects. The structure of the present disclosure is described in detail above, and the impact of the included angle α between the axis of the propeller and the axis of the battery compartment 12 on the present disclosure is described below through test data.

The included angle α has a certain influence on the working efficiency of the propeller. Therefore, in order to achieve a better working effect of the propeller, it is necessary to test the relationship between the included angle α and the working efficiency of the propeller.

Because when the included angle α is greater than 10 degrees and less than 45 degrees, the energy consumption of the propeller is significantly reduced under the same operation speed of the present disclosure. In this experiment, data of the included angles of 0-10 degrees was mainly tested and analyzed.

In the following test, the distance between axes of the two propellers was 471.06 mm (this distance was the distance between the axes of the two propellers). Since a simplified model was adopted in the simulation experiment, in order to reduce the impact of the difference between the simplified model and an original model, the included angle α of the experimental test was 0 degree, 5 degree, and 10 degrees.

The simplified model of the present disclosure used in the experiment is shown in a schematic diagram shown in FIG. 4.

A flow field model is shown in FIG. 5. Two dynamic domains are regions in a fairwater of the two propellers, and are two cone frustums having radiuses of 51.5 mm and 48.5 mm, respectively, and a height of 102 mm, which are compatible with the shape of the fairwater. The rotational speed of the dynamic domain 18 is 3000 rpm, and the rotation axis is the axis of the dynamic domain. The static domain 17 is a cylinder with a radius of 600 mm and a height of 2700 mm A simulated human body 19 simulates the human body in the static domain 17 to hold the present disclosure with two hands.

Initial conditions of the simulated flow field are set as follows: The water flow speed at an inlet surface (a water inlet surface) is 1 m/s; the dynamic domain has a rotational speed of 3000 rpm, a rotation origin is a center coordinate of the dynamic domain, and the direction of the rotation axis is the same as the axial direction of the dynamic domain.

Test results are shown in FIG. 6a, FIG. 6b, and FIG. 6c. The test results are that in FIG. 6a, when the included angle is 0 degree, water flow 20 coming out of the propeller overlaps with the simulated human body 19, that is, the water flow emitted by the propeller strikes on the human body, thereby affecting the speed in the flow domain; and when the included angle is 5 degrees or 10 degrees, the water flow emitted out of the propeller will not strike on the human body, but when the included angle is 10 degrees, the speed loss in the traveling direction is too large, so it is the most suitable when the propeller angle is 5 degrees.

Stress data of blades is as follows:

Included angle α	0 degree	5 degrees	10 degrees
Blade stress (left)	42.7126 N	55.0803 N	40.1476 N
Blade stress (right)	41.8660 N	54.5863 N	40.0178 N
Blade stress (mean	42.2893 N	54.8333 N	40.0827 N
value of the left
stress and the right
stress)

From the above data, it can be seen that when the included angle α is 5 degrees, the stress on the left blade and the stress on the right blade are maximums, and in this case, the propeller can have the maximum thrust and the included angle is the optimal included angle.

The flow speed in the flow field obtained in the simulation is as follows:

Included angle α	0 degree	5 degrees	10 degrees
Average speed of the	1.00181 m/s	1.5158 m/s	0.96897 m/s
static domain
Average speed in the	−0.95222 m/s	−1.42862 m/s	−0.91488 m/s
static domain in the
y-axis direction (a
negative value means
opposite to the y-axis
direction)
Maximum speed in	3.23066 m/s	4.27397 m/s	3.24015 m/s
the static domain
Maximum speed in	−3.03575 m/s	−4.00060 m/s	−3.11736 m/s
the static domain in
the y-axis direction
(a negative value
means opposite to
the y-axis direction)

It can be seen from the simulation results that the average speed in the static domain in the y-axis direction is the maximum when the included angle is 5 degrees.

It can be seen from the above data that when the included angle α is 5 degrees, the speed of the propeller in the advancing process is the maximum, and in this case, the included angle is the optimal included angle.

In conclusion, the optimal included angle α between the axis of the propeller and the axis of the battery compartment 12 is 5 degrees.
