Abstract

A stop device includes a motor rotor assembly including a rotating shaft, a first shift lever fixedly connected to the rotating shaft and including a first shifting part configured to rotate around an axis of the rotating shaft to form a first motion trajectory, and a second shift lever rotatably connected to the first shift lever and including a second shifting part partially within the first motion trajectory. The first shifting part is configured to drive the second shifting part to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft to form a second motion trajectory. The stop device further includes a motor stator assembly sleeved on the rotating shaft and rotatably connected with the rotating shaft. The motor stator assembly includes a stopping boss located on a periphery of the first motion trajectory and partially within the second motion trajectory.

Claims (54)

1. A stop device, comprising:

a motor rotor assembly including a rotating shaft;

a first shift lever fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, the first shift lever comprising a first shifting part configured to rotate around an axis of the rotating shaft to form a first motion trajectory;

a second shift lever rotatably connected to the first shift lever, the second shift lever comprising a second shifting part partially within the first motion trajectory, and the first shifting part being configured to drive the second shifting part to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft to form a second motion trajectory; and

a motor stator assembly sleeved on the rotating shaft and rotatably connected with the rotating shaft, the motor stator assembly comprising a stopping boss located on a periphery of the first motion trajectory and partially within the second motion trajectory,

wherein:

the first shift lever is configured to rotate for a total rotation angle greater than 360° and less than 720°; and

the motor stator assembly comprises a receiving groove and the rotating shaft passes through the receiving groove, and each of the first shift lever, the second shift lever and the stopping boss is located within the receiving groove.

2. The stop device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotating shaft is configured to:

drive the first shift lever and the second shift lever to rotate in a first direction until the second shifting part is brought into contact with the stopping boss,

drive the first shift lever to rotate in a second direction opposite to the first direction until the first shifting part is brought into contact with the second shifting part, and

drive, after the first shifting part is brought into contact with the second shifting part, the first shift lever and the second shift lever to rotate in the second direction.

3. The stop device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotating shaft is configured to:

drive the first shift lever and the second shift lever to rotate in a first direction until the second shifting part is brought into contact with the stopping boss,

drive the first shift lever to continue to rotate in the first direction until the first shifting part comes into contact with the second shifting part, and

rotate in a second direction opposite to the first direction to drive the first shift lever and the second shift lever to rotate in the second direction.

4. The stop device according to claim 1 , wherein a distance between the first shifting part and the axis of the rotating shaft is less than a distance between the stopping boss and the axis of the rotating shaft, and a distance between the second shifting part and the axis of the rotating shaft is greater than the distance between the stopping boss and the axis of the rotating shaft.

5. The stop device according to claim 1 , wherein the motor rotor assembly comprises a housing, and the rotating shaft is arranged at a center of the housing.

6. The stop device according to claim 5 , wherein:

the rotating shaft comprises a first connecting part arranged at the center of the housing and a second connecting part arranged on the first connecting part, the second connecting part including a first rotation stopping position,

the first shift lever comprises a first rotating part arranged on the second connecting part, the first rotating part including a second rotation stopping position, and

the first rotation stopping position and the second rotation stopping position fit with each other to restrict the first rotating part from rotating relative to the rotating shaft.

7. The stop device according to claim 6 , wherein the first rotation stopping position is a first tangential section arranged on the second connecting part, and the second rotation stopping position is a second tangential section arranged on the first rotating part.

8. The stop device according to claim 6 , further comprising:

a locking nut,

wherein the rotating shaft further comprises a third connecting part on which the locking nut is threadedly connected.

9. The stop device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a sleeve member connected between the first shift lever and the second shift lever to reduce a rotational friction between the first shift lever and the second shift lever.

10. The stop device according to claim 9 , wherein the sleeve member is a copper sleeve, and the sleeve member is fixedly arranged on the rotating shaft, wherein an end face of the sleeve member is against an end face of the first rotating part, and the second shift lever is sleeved on a periphery of the sleeve member and is configured to rotate relative to the sleeve member.

11. The stop device according to claim 1 , wherein the second shift lever is configured to rotate to drive the second shifting part to contact a first side of the stopping boss when rotating in a first direction and to contact a second side of the stopping boss when rotating in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the first side of the stopping boss and the second side of the stopping boss facing away from each other.

12. The stop device according to claim 1 , wherein the stopping boss includes a single stopping boss.

13. The stop device according to claim 1 , wherein the first shift lever is below the second shift lever.

14. An aerial vehicle, comprising:

a stop device including:

a motor rotor assembly including a rotating shaft;

a first shift lever fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, the first shift lever comprising a first shifting part configured to rotate around an axis of the rotating shaft to form a first motion trajectory;

a second shift lever rotatably connected to the first shift lever, the second shift lever comprising a second shifting part partially within the first motion trajectory, and the first shifting part being configured to drive the second shifting part to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft to form a second motion trajectory; and
