In the prior art, the toy aircrafts on the market have the disadvantage of insufficient playability, which has limited the promotion of toy aircrafts.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a miniature finger gyro boomerang with strong interaction and playability, which is easy to carry.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a miniature finger gyro boomerang, comprising a main body casing, a propeller is arranged in the main body casing, a shaft is arranged in the center of the propeller, both ends of the shaft are penetrated with a finger pressing top bracket and a finger pressing bottom bracket, the finger pressing top bracket and the finger pressing bottom bracket are respectively arranged on the top and bottom sides of the main body casing, a drive component, a main control board and a power supply are provided in the main body casing, the power supply is electrically connected to the main control board, the main control board is electrically connected to the drive component, the drive component is linked to the main body casing, and the driving motor shaft is drivingly connected to the propeller.

The drive component includes a motor, a motor gear connected to a motor shaft, and a transmission gear matched with the motor gear. The upper part of the main body casing is provided with a motor house, and the main control board, the power supply and the drive component are all disposed in the motor house, and a motor cover which covers the motor house is further included

After turning on the power switch, the player pinches the finger pressing top bracket and the finger pressing bottom bracket with fingers, and pulls the main body casing with the other hand to rotate. The gyroscope detects the start signal, and the MCU sends a command to start the motor, driving the main body casing to rotate relative to the propeller. The boomerang is thrown out manually. At the same time, different throwing angles can be used to obtain different flying experiences. By using a game such as a frisbee, the boomerang can automatically rotate and can be automatically recovered after being thrown. When the boomerang is started, the motor rotor is linked with the propeller through the reduction gear, and the motor and the main body are installed together. The movement of the propeller and the main body is reversed. Assuming that the propeller rotates clockwise, the main body casing rotates counterclockwise, the torques generated by the both are opposite and cancel each other out, and the relative rotation of the main body casing and the propeller generates wind in the same direction, thereby causing the boomerang to generate power. The use of a single motor as power effectively reduces product costs.

The finger pressing top bracket, the finger pressing bottom bracket, the top side of the main body casing, the bottom side of the main body casing, and the propeller are assembled on the same shaft, and the shaft is used as the center of rotation during operation.

The motor is fixed on the main body casing, the motor gear is arranged on the output shaft of the motor, the motor gear is engaged with the transmission gear, and the transmission gear is connected with the propeller.

The longitudinal main skeleton of the main body casing is made into a propeller shape.

The propeller shape made by the longitudinal main skeleton of the main body casing is opposite to the propeller direction.

The main control board is provided inside the finger pressing top bracket, and the main control board integrates an MCU main control chip, a gyroscope, and an air pressure sensor.

A method for controlling the flight trajectory of a miniature finger gyro boomerang, the power is turned on to start the miniature finger gyro boomerang to stand by. The main body casing is rotated. The MCU main control chip detects the angular velocity change signal sent by the gyroscope. The MCU main control chip sends a command to start the motor; the main body casing and the propeller rotate in opposite directions, generating wind in the same direction as the flying power of the boomerang, and at the same time, the gyro effect generated when the main body casing rotates at high speed keeps the boomerang balanced at an angle; when the boomerang is thrown at a certain angle, the boomerang first flies a distance in the direction of the throw under the action of the external force. After the throwing external force disappears, the angle of the boomerang remains unchanged due to the gyro effect of the high-speed rotation of the main body casing, and the boomerang will continue to fly in this direction, that is, the operator can set the thrown angle of the boomerang in advance to get different flight trajectories. During the flight, the MCU will automatically adjust the speed of the boomerang to maintain the stability of the flight by detecting the values of the gyroscope and the air pressure sensor. When the main body of the boomerang is impacted, the angular velocity changes, and the MCU sends a stop signal when detecting the relevant signal.

The beneficial effects of the present invention are: the miniature finger gyro boomerang has a simple structure, can be used as an ordinary electric finger gyro or as a small aircraft, can be played diversely, solves the problem of the single game play of the traditional fingertip gyro or aircraft, and is beneficial to promotion. The single motor is used as the power source, which effectively reduces product costs. The boomerang is compact in overall structure and easy to carry. The miniature finger gyro boomerang can rotate in the air by the mechanical structure. The player's gestures of throwing achieve different flight trajectories, and the player can easily obtain the effect of automatic flight rotation, thereby greatly improving the interactivity and playability of the product. At the same time, the playability is improved, the control optimization is simple and the interaction is enhanced.
