Automatic Adjustment of the Multicopter Propeller Pitch
Original language description
Abstract – UAVs currently utilize BLDC motors with Outrunner circuitry. These motors are known for their high power density, energy efficiency and reliability. The fixed-pitch propeller is directly attached to the rotor of the BLDC motor. Traction power can be adjusted by varying the speed of the BLDC motor across a wide range. The use of more efficient propellers with variable pitch is currently not feasible due to the absence of propeller pitch control systems for rotating rotors. This article introduces a completely new system for altering the propeller pitch, which is integrated within the rotating BLDS rotor of the UAV motor. This system of changing the propeller pitch enables changes in UAV piloting techniques, significantly enhances energy efficiency and extends flight time. Furthermore, having an energy source on the rotating rotor allows for the implementation of lighting systems for the propeller blades and heating the blade edges to prevent icing.
