TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of aircraft and, more particularly, to a propeller assembly, a power assembly, and an aircraft.


BACKGROUND

A propeller is one of the key components of an aircraft and used to convert a rotation of a shaft of a motor or engine into thrust or lift.


In conventional technologies, during a rotation of the propeller, a turbulence of each portion of a propeller blade and a downwash flow impacting on a housing structure of the aircraft generate relatively large noise. The noise is often superimposed with motor noise and structural vibration noise, and noise in certain frequency bands is amplified, resulting in higher overall noise of the aircraft and poor user experience.

The first propeller includes a first propeller blade including a first propeller root, a first propeller tip opposite to the first propeller root, a first propeller pressure surface, and a first propeller suction surface opposite to the first propeller pressure surface. The second propeller includes a second propeller blade including a second propeller root, a second propeller tip opposite to the second propeller root, a second propeller pressure surface, and a second propeller suction surface opposite to the second propeller pressure surface. The first propeller tip is configured to extend obliquely along a span direction of the first propeller blade toward a side where the first propeller suction surface is located. The second propeller tip is configured to extend obliquely along a span direction of the second propeller blade toward a side where the second propeller pressure surface is located.


Also in accordance with the disclosure, there is provided a power assembly including a first and a second driving devices, and a propeller assembly. The propeller assembly includes a first and a second propellers. The first propeller includes a first propeller blade including a first propeller root, a first propeller tip opposite to the first propeller root, a first propeller pressure surface, and a first propeller suction surface opposite to the first propeller pressure surface.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

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.


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.”


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.


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.



FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of an example propeller assembly 100 consistent with the disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the propeller assembly 100 include a first propeller 10 and a second propeller 20.



FIGS. 2 and 3 are perspective views of the first propeller 10 of the propeller assembly 100 consistent with the disclosure. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the first propeller 10 includes a first propeller blade 11. The first propeller blade 11 includes a first propeller root 111, a first propeller tip 112 opposite to the first propeller root 111, and a first propeller pressure surface 113 and a first propeller suction surface 114 opposite to each other. The first propeller tip 112 can be configured to extend obliquely along a span direction of the first propeller blade 11 toward a side where the first propeller suction surface 114 is located.



FIGS. 21 and 22 are perspective views of the second propeller 20 of the propeller assembly 100 consistent with the disclosure. As shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, the second propeller 20 includes a second propeller blade 21. The second propeller blade 21 includes a second propeller root 211, a second propeller tip 212 opposite to the second propeller root 111, and a second propeller pressure surface 213 and a second propeller suction surface 214 opposite to each other. The second propeller tip 212 can be configured to extend obliquely along a span direction of the second propeller blade 21 toward a side where the second propeller pressure surface 213 is located.


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 FIG. 30) can be increased, a flight performance of the aircraft 1000 can be improved, and a noise generated by the first propeller blade 11 and the second propeller blade 21 during operation can be reduced, thereby causing the aircraft 1000 to be quieter when hovering and improving a user experience.


Referring again to FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the first propeller 10 and the second propeller 20 can be mirror-symmetrical with respect to each other.



FIG. 3 is another perspective view of the first propeller 10 of the propeller assembly 100 in FIG. 1. FIGS. 4 to 7 are schematic plan views of the first propeller 10 of the propeller assembly 100 in FIG. 1. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, the first propeller blade 11 includes the first propeller root 111, the first propeller tip 112 opposite to the first propeller root 111, the first propeller pressure surface 113 and the first propeller suction surface 114 opposite to each other, a first propeller leading edge 115 connecting one edge of the first propeller pressure surface 113 and one edge of the first propeller suction surface 114, a first propeller trailing edge 116 connecting another edge of the first propeller pressure surface 113 and another edge of the first propeller suction surface 114, and a first propeller backward-sweeping portion 1121 formed at the first propeller tip 112. The first propeller tip 112 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, and the first propeller backward-sweeping portion 1121 can be configured to extend obliquely from the first propeller leading edge 115 to the first propeller trailing edge 116.


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.


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 FIG. 2, the position of the first propeller recurve 1122 is represented by MM.


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.


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.


As shown in FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the first propeller blade 11 has a first propeller center axis NN passing through the center of the first propeller hub 12, and the first propeller leading edge 115 has a first propeller leading edge tangent line OO parallel to the first propeller center axis NN. The first propeller trailing edge 116 has a first propeller trailing edge tangent line PP parallel to the first propeller center axis NN, and the first propeller backward-sweeping portion 1121 can be located between the first propeller leading edge tangent line OO and the first propeller trailing edge tangent line PP. As such, the first propeller backward-sweeping portion 1121 can reduce turbulence and downwash airflow generated by the first propeller blade 11, thereby reducing the turbulence and downwash airflow impacting the housing of the aircraft 1000. An air resistance of the first propeller 10 can be reduced, a maneuverability of the aircraft 1000 can be improved, the aircraft 1000 can be more stable, and an overall noise of the aircraft 1000 can be further reduced.


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.


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.


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.



FIG. 8 is a parameter diagram of the first propeller backward-sweeping portion 1121 of the first propeller 10 in FIG. 2 extending obliquely from the first propeller leading edge 115 of the first propeller 10 to the first propeller trailing edge 116. Referring to Table 1, and FIGS. 7 and 8, in some embodiments, the first propeller backward-sweeping portion 1121 can obliquely extend from the first propeller leading edge 115 to the first propeller trailing edge 116. An abscissa of FIG. 8, e.g., blade radius (mm), can represent a distance from a certain position of the first propeller blade 11 (e.g., a position at MM) to the center of the first propeller hub 12 along the span direction of the first propeller blade 11. An ordinate of FIG. 8, Sweep Length (mm), represents a backward sweeping distance or a forward sweeping distance. A positive value of the ordinate Sweep Length (mm) corresponds to backward sweeping, and a negative value corresponds to forward sweeping.

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.

Referring to Table 2, and FIGS. 7 and 9, in some embodiments, the first propeller tip 112 can extend obliquely along the span direction of the first propeller blade 11 toward the side where the first propeller suction surface 114 is located. An abscissa of FIG. 9, e.g., blade radius (mm), can represent the distance from a certain position of the first propeller blade 11 (e.g., a position at MINI) to the center of the first propeller hub 12 along the span direction of the first propeller blade 11. A start point can refer to the center of the first propeller hub 12, and the distance between the start point of the first propeller blade 11 and the center of the first propeller hub 12 is 0 mm. An end point can refer to a free end of the first propeller tip 112, and the distance between the free end and the center of the first hub 12 is 66.5 mm.

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.

FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of the first propeller 10 along C-C line in FIG. 7 at a distance of 25 mm from the center of the first propeller hub 12.

The structure of the second propeller 20 can be mirror-symmetrical to the structure of the first propeller 10. FIG. 21 is a perspective view of the second propeller 20 of the propeller assembly 100 in FIG. 1. FIG. 22 is another perspective view of the second propeller 20 of the propeller assembly 100 in FIG. 1. FIGS. 23 to 26 are schematic plan views of the second propeller 20 of the propeller assembly 100 in FIG. 1. As shown in FIGS. 21 to 26, the second propeller 20 includes the second propeller blade 21. The second propeller blade 21 includes the second propeller root 211, the second propeller tip 212 opposite to the second propeller root 111, and the second propeller pressure surface 213 and the second propeller suction surface 214 opposite to each other, a second propeller leading edge 215 connecting one edge of the second propeller pressure surface 213 and one edge of the second propeller suction surface 214, a second propeller trailing edge 216 connecting another edge of the second propeller pressure surface 213 and another edge of the second propeller suction surface 214, and a second propeller backward-sweeping portion 2121 formed at the first propeller tip 212. The first 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, and the second propeller backward-sweeping portion 2121 can be configured to extend obliquely from the second propeller leading edge 215 to the second propeller trailing edge 216.


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.


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 FIG. 21, the position of the second propeller recurve 2122 is represented by QQ.


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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


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.



FIG. 27 is a parameter diagram of the second propeller backward-sweeping portion 2121 of the second propeller 20 in FIG. 21 extending obliquely from the second propeller leading edge 215 of the second propeller 20 to the second propeller trailing edge 216 of the second propeller 20. Referring to Table 3, and FIGS. 25 and 27, in some embodiments, the second propeller backward-sweeping portion 2121 can obliquely extend from the second propeller leading edge 215 to the second propeller trailing edge 216. An abscissa of FIG. 27, e.g., blade radius (mm), can represent a distance from a certain position of the second propeller blade 21 (e.g., a position at QQ) to the center of the second propeller hub 22 along the span direction of the second propeller blade 21. An ordinate of FIG. 27, Sweep Length (mm), represents a backward sweeping distance or a forward sweeping distance. A positive value of the ordinate Sweep Length (mm) corresponds to backward sweeping, and a negative value corresponds to forward sweeping.

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. The noise generated by the impact of turbulence and downwash airflow on the housing of the aircraft 1000 can be further reduced.



FIG. 28 is a parameter diagram of the second propeller leading edge 215 of the second propeller 20 in FIG. 21 extending obliquely along the span direction of the second propeller blade 21 toward the side where the second propeller suction surface 214 of the second propeller 20 is located. Referring to Table 3, and FIGS. 25 and 28, in some embodiments, the second propeller tip 212 can extend obliquely along the span direction of the second propeller blade 21 toward the side where the second propeller suction surface 214 is located. An abscissa and an ordinate of FIG. 28 are same as the abscissa and the ordinate of FIG. 9, and detailed description thereof is omitted herein. A positive value of the ordinate Anhedral Length (mm) corresponds to dihedral, and a negative value corresponds to anhedral.

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.


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.
