Abstract
An aerial vehicle including a housing, an outrunner motor including a stator mechanically coupled to the housing and a rotor rotationally coupled to the stator, and a propeller removably coupled to the rotor, the propeller including a hub and a plurality of propeller blades. A rotor, a propeller including a hub and a propeller blade, a radial alignment mechanism, a rotational retention mechanism, and an axial retention mechanism.
Claims5
An aerial vehicle comprising:
- a housing;
- an outrunner motor comprising a stator mechanically coupled to the housing and a rotor rotationally coupled to the stator about a rotor axis, the rotor comprising:
- a body centered around and extending parallel the rotor axis;
- an outward protrusion from the body, the outward protrusion mechanically connected to the body and defined along an outer perimeter of a cross-section of the body, the cross-section normal the rotor axis;
- a radial member mechanically connected to the body and extending radially inward from the body;
- and
- a boss mechanically coupled to the body by the radial member, the boss centered around and extending parallel the rotor axis;
- and
- a propeller removably coupled to the rotor, the propeller comprising a hub and a plurality of propeller blades mechanically coupled to the hub, the propeller defining a central propeller axis, the hub comprising:
- an inner surface arranged around the body and defining a recess retaining the outward protrusion within the recess;
- a limit member contacting the radial member and rotationally retaining the propeller about the rotor axis with respect to the rotor;
- and
- a surface defining a hole centered around the central propeller axis, the boss arranged within the hole and retaining the central propeller axis substantially collinear with the rotor axis.
