- Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel kinematic and inverse dynamic model for the flybar-less (FBL) swashplate mechanism of a small-scale unmanned helicopter. The swashplate mechanism is an essential configuration of helicopter flight control systems. It is a complex, multi-loop chain mechanism that controls the main rotor. In recent years, the demand for compact swashplate designs has increased owing to the development of small-scale helicopters. The swashplate mechanism proposed in this paper is the latest architectures used for hingeless rotors without a Bell-Hiller mixer. Firstly, the kinematic analysis is derived from the parallel manipulators concepts. Then, based on the principle of virtual work, a methodology for deriving a closed-form dynamic equation of the FBL swashplate mechanism is developed. Finally, the correctness and efficiency of the presented analytical model are demonstrated by numerical examples and the influence factors of the loads acted on actuators are discussed.
