For inclining the blade surface of such a rotor, in the real helicopter, a mechanism for inclining the blade surface by interlocking a swash plate, rotating together with the rotor, with the blade via a link is adopted. This kind of the rotor blade surface inclining mechanism by a swash plate is adopted also for a movement control for a helicopter toy. For example, a technique related to a radio control helicopter with co-axial rotors, that is upper and lower rotor heads rotating in the opposite directions are provided concentrically, wherein the inclining of the blade rotation surface is controlled by interlocking a blade of the lower rotor head with a swash plate of a blade inclining mechanism provided in a aircraft is disclosed (for example, see Kokai (Jpn unexamined patent application) No. 2004-121798 (p. 3 to 6, FIGS. 1 to 7)).

However, since the outside part is connected with an actuator mounted on the airframe for controlling the inclining of the swash plate with a link, it cannot be rotated. Therefore, a highly sophisticated part such as a ball bearing is required for the inside and the outside of the swash plate, and the structure is also complicated. Moreover, since the all parts from an actuator to the rotor head are connected via links, the structure is extremely complicated as well as the number of parts is large so that the cost may be increased as a whole.

In the case one of thearms 44 is rotated form the neutral position to a position close to the lower part side of thelower rotor head 33, the magnetic force is applied, however, theother arm 44 is further inclined form the neutral position so as to rotate to a position without the function of the magnetic force. Since thelower rotor head 33 is arranged not to be incline to more than a certain angle, either of themagnets ferromagnetic materials - In this embodiment, since the
upper rotor 12 and thelower rotor 13 to be rotated concentrically in the opposite directions are provided, thetail rotor 17 needs not be rotated for preventing turnover of theairframe 11, however, thetail rotor 17 is mounted rotatably on atail part 50 provided on the end part of thetail pipe 49 elongating horizontally from the rear part of theairframe 11. Thetail rotor 17 is arranged to be transmitted the rotational force of thetail motor 51 provided in the rear part of theairframe 11 via the driving shaft provided inside thetail pipe 49, the bevel gear provided in thetail part 50, or the like. By rotating thetail rotor 17 forward or backward by thetail motor 51, theairframe 11 is rotated around the shaft center of theupper mast 23 and thelower mast 24, and thereby the operation control in the right and left direction can be enabled. - The
receiver 20 includes anantenna 61, a receivingcircuit 62 for receiving a control signal as a radio wave transmitted from thetransmitter 19, acontrol circuit 63 for producing a control signal based on the signal received by the receivingcircuit 62, amotor driving circuit 64 for driving themain motor 36 and thetail motor 51 based on the control signal of thecontrol circuit 63, anactuator driving circuit 65 for driving theactuator 41, and the like such that the electric power from thebattery 18 can be supplied by a power source switch 66 mounted operatably on theairframe 11, or the like to the receivingcircuit 62, thecontrol circuit 63, themotor driving circuit 64 and theactuator driving circuit 65. Thetransmitter 19 includes acontrol part 52 having a control lever for the orientation control for elevation, descent, forward or backward movement and the like, asignal producing circuit 53 for producing a control signal according to the operation of thecontrol part 52, a transmittingcircuit 54 for transmitting a control signal produced by thesignal producing circuit 53 as a radio wave from theantenna 57, and the like such that the electric power is supplied from thebattery 55 by the power source switch 56 to thesignal producing circuit 53 and the transmittingcircuit 54. - The operation of the radio
control helicopter toy 10 of the above-mentioned configuration will be explained. First, by switching on thepower source switch 66 and placing theairframe 11 at a horizontal portion using the landingmember 21, the radiocontrol helicopter toy 10 is prepared for taking off. Next, by switching on the power source switch 56 of thetransmitter 19 and operating the control lever of thecontrol part 52, a control signal based on the operation is produced in thesignal producing circuit 53 and the control signal is transmitted as a radio wave from the transmittingcircuit 54 via theantenna 57. The control signal transmitted from thetransmitter 19 is received by the receivingcircuit 62 via theantenna 61 of thereceiver 20 provided in theairframe 11 of the radiocontrol helicopter toy 10. The control signal from thetransmitter 19 received by the receivingcircuit 62 is transmitted to thecontrol circuit 63 so as to produce an output signal, and the output signal is outputted to themotor driving circuit 64 so as to produce a motor driving signal in themotor driving circuit 64 so that themain motor 36 or thetail motor 51 starts the rotation based on the motor driving signal. The rotational force of themain motor 36 is transmitted from thepinion 37 to theupper mast 23 via the lowermain gear 38, and from the lowermain gear 38, the rotation force is also transmitted to thelower mast 24 via theinversion gear pair 40 and the uppermain gear 39 so as to rotate theupper rotor 12 and thelower rotor 13 by the same rotational frequency in the opposite directions respectively. Thereby, theupper rotor blades upper rotor head 25 of theupper rotor 12 and thelower rotor blades lower rotor head 33 of thelower rotor 13 are respectively rotated so as to enable the ascending flight of theairframe 11. At the time, since theupper rotor 12 and thelower rotor 13 are rotated at the same rotational rate in the opposite directions, the respective reaction torques applied to theairframe 11 can be offset with each other so that theairframe 11 can ascend without rotation. Moreover, since thestabilizer 14 mounted on theupper mast 23 is interlocked with theupper rotor 12 via thestabilizer link 32, when thestabilizer shafts stabilizer shafts weights stabilizer shafts stabilizer shafts upper rotor blades stabilizer link 32 so that the function of maintaining the surfaces of theupper rotor blades weights airframe 11. - Next, the operation of the movement control of the
airframe 11 by theblade inclining mechanism 16 after ascending in the air to a predetermined height will be explained. First, when a control signal is transmitted by the forward operation from thetransmitter 19, thereceiver 20 receives the forward control signal so that the forward signal is transmitted form theactuator driving circuit 65 to theactuator 41. When theactuator 41 receives the forward signal, therotation plate 42 is driven so as to rotate thearm 44 in front from the neutral position via thelink 45 to make themagnet 48 approach to theferromagnetic material 49 side of the mountingpart 35 of thelower rotor head 33. Then, by the magnetic force, thelower rotor head 33 is attracted and rotated so as to incline the surfaces of thelower rotor blades lower rotor blades airframe 11 can be moved forward. In the same manner, when a control signal is transmitted by the backward operation from thetransmitter 19, therotation plate 42 is driven so as to rotate thearm 44 from the neutral position via thelinks magnet 48 approach to theferromagnetic material 49 side of the mountingpart 35 of thelower rotor head 33. Then, by the magnetic force, thelower rotor head 33 is attracted and rotated so as to incline the surfaces of thelower rotor blades lower rotor blades airframe 11 can be moved backward. In this embodiment, by rotating forward or backward thetail rotor 17 by thetail motor 51, theairframe 11 is oriented in the right or left direction with respect to the rotation shaft center of theupper mast 23 and thelower mast 24, and thereby, the moving direction can be controlled in the right and left direction. - As heretofore explained, according to the radio
control helicopter toy 10 of the embodiment of the present invention, since the surfaces of thelower rotor blades lower rotor 13 to be rotated by thelower mast 24 are inclined to the moving direction by attracting using the magnetic force by theblade inclining mechanism 16 mounted on theairframe 11, it can be produced in a simple structure at low cost without the need of a swash plate or a link of a complicated structure as in the conventional configuration. - In the radio
control helicopter toy 10 of the above-mentioned embodiment, moving direction can be controlled in forward and backward direction. However, the moving direction can be controlled also in right and left direction by additionally providing a blade inclining mechanism, for inclining the surfaces of thelower rotor blades airframe 11. Moreover, although an example of mounting theferromagnetic materials parts lower rotor head 33 and mounting themagnets arms blade inclining mechanism 16 has been explained in this embodiment, as long as they are attracted by the magnetic force, either one can be ferromagnetic material and the magnet, or furthermore, both of them can be a magnet. Furthermore, the ferromagnetic material or the magnet to be mounted on the lower side of thelower rotor head 33 may be formed in a ring-like shape instead of a small piece. - Furthermore, although a helicopter toy of a mechanism having the
upper rotor 12 and thelower rotor 13 to be rotated concentrically in the opposite directions has been explained in this embodiment, as another embodiment, by mounting ablade inclining mechanism 16, with the same mechanism on one rotor to be driven in one direction by a main motor to an aircraft and applying the resultant mechanism to a radio control helicopter toy of a mechanism rotating thetail rotor 17. Moreover, thetail motor 51 can be mounted to thetail part 50 as well. - The present invention can be utilized for a radio control helicopter toy to have the movement control by the remote control.
