TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and particularly relates to a multi-flight-mode foldable micro solar unmanned aerial vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of modern science and technology, the development of microelectronic technology also promotes the development of micro unmanned aerial vehicles. Micro unmanned aerial vehicles have been greatly developed in application and have been widely used in daily life, industrial measurement and certain military applications. However, with the expansion of application fields, the limitations of traditional micro unmanned aerial vehicles gradually appear. The traditional micro unmanned aerial vehicle needs to continuously overcome gravity work during flight, is powered by a single battery, has no energy supply after takeoff, and the power consumption is rapid, which limits the range of the unmanned aerial vehicle. How to effectively improve the range of the unmanned aerial vehicle becomes the key to expanding the unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0003] The solar energy unmanned aerial vehicle is an unmanned aerial vehicle using solar radiation energy as power. It converts solar energy into electric energy through a solar cell and drives a propeller to rotate to generate flight power. For example, Chinese patent CN115009516A proposes a tilt-rotor solar unmanned aerial vehicle, which has vertical takeoff and landing and solar charging capabilities, but its size is large, which affects the progress of personnel when carrying conveniently, and the tilt configuration causes the rear propeller to become a waste weight during level flight, reducing the effective payload and possibly affecting the flight time. Chinese patent CN113788143A proposes a tail seat type solar unmanned aerial vehicle, which can realize the function of vertical takeoff and landing, and reduces the waste weight, but cannot efficiently control the attitude in the full flight mode, so it has poor wind resistance and is prone to overturning after being disturbed during landing, losing the possibility of recovery. In summary, the existing solar unmanned aerial vehicle has the following shortcomings: (1) It depends on the airport runway for takeoff and landing, and the use is limited; (2) It is difficult to self-rescue and restore the recovery ability after the takeoff and landing is disturbed; (3) The layout with vertical takeoff and landing function often has waste weight.

[0004] With the increasing demand for the use of micro unmanned aerial vehicles, for example, in emergency rescue of earthquake, flood, and forest fire, it is necessary to penetrate the terrain for load detection. The situation inside the city or mountain area is complex, the location of the rescued people is variable, and the disaster situation is complex and difficult to determine the specific search and rescue location. Moreover, most of these complex flight conditions belong to low Reynolds number environment, and the endurance and effective payload are in conflict due to the limitation of the self-load and size, making it difficult to achieve efficient and long-time cruising and narrow survival domain. Therefore, designing a micro portable solar unmanned aerial vehicle using photovoltaic energy to extend the flight time, while having high maneuverability and high environmental adaptability, and reducing the dependence on takeoff and landing conditions, will be expected to play a unique role in emergency rescue, environmental detection, and relay networking.
