The present application relates to a kind of cylinder type launching folding four-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle, including upper casing, lower casing, front casing, rear casing and four arms, further including connecting piece and four V-shaped springs, arm pivot and inclined table corresponding with arm one to one arrangement.It is automatically unfolded under the cooperation of V-shaped spring and inclined table, and is locked under the constraint of connecting piece, arm pivot and one of upper casing and lower casing, realizes the automatic unfolding and unfolding position locking of arm, improves the safety and reliability of unmanned aerial vehicle flight.The unfolded arm only needs to be operated by hand operation to be quickly folded back.The arm is X-shaped when unfolding, so that the force transmission path is shorter, and the structural stiffness is improved.The arm is machined to receive the spring, and the weight of the arm is reduced.The arm is placed in the middle part of the body, and the battery
diameter and
propeller diameter can be larger, so that the power efficiency of the unmanned aerial vehicle is improved.The
electronic equipment is installed in the hollow space of upper and lower casing, so that the space utilization of the unmanned aerial vehicle is improved.
