CYCLIC BLADE SPEED CONTROL

摘要

A blade speed control apparatus and method. The apparatus includes a rotor assembly a first blade assembly movably attached to the rotor assembly at a first initial position, a second blade assembly movably attached to the rotor assembly at a second initial position, and a movement mechanism configured to move the rotor assembly in a first lateral direction along a y-axis such that a first angle exists between the first blade assembly with said respect to the second blade assembly. The movement mechanism is configured to move a portion of the rotor assembly in a first lateral direction along a y-axis such that a first angle exists between the first blade assembly with said respect to the second blade assembly. The first angle does not comprise an angle of 180 degrees.

1. An apparatus comprising:
a first blade assembly movably attached to a rotor assembly at a first initial position, wherein said first blade assembly comprises a first slide channel, wherein said rotor assembly comprises a rotation crown, a stationary plate, and a center shaft, and wherein said rotation crown comprises a plurality of pivot mechanism bearings; a second blade assembly movably attached to said rotor assembly at a second initial position opposite to said first initial position, wherein said second blade assembly comprises a second slide channel, wherein an initial angle of 180 degrees exists between said first blade assembly with said respect to said second blade assembly, wherein said rotor assembly is configured to rotate said first blade assembly and said second blade assembly in a first direction and a second direction opposite to said first direction; and a movement mechanism configured to move a portion of said rotor assembly in a first lateral direction along an axis such that a first angle exists between said first blade assembly with said respect to said second blade assembly, wherein said first angle does not comprise an angle of 180 degrees, wherein said first blade assembly is pivotally and slidably attached, via said first slide channel, to said rotation crown at a first pivot mechanism bearing of said plurality of pivot mechanism bearings on said rotation crown, wherein said second blade assembly is pivotally and slidably attached, via said second slide channel, to said rotation crown at a second pivot mechanism bearing of said plurality of pivot mechanism bearings on said rotation crown, wherein said rotation crown is configured to rotate said first blade assembly and said second blade assembly in said first direction and said second direction, and wherein said first blade assembly and said second blade assembly are pivotally attached to said center shaft at a same location on said center shaft, wherein said stationary plate comprises a slide channel running along said axis, wherein said movement mechanism is further configured to automatically and slidably move said center shaft within said slide channel in said first lateral direction along said axis, and wherein a control system is configured to generate a control signal configured to enable said movement mechanism to move said rotor assembly in said first lateral direction along said axis.
