[0067] In specific implementation, the first circular table 92 and the second circular table 93 are both conical bosses, and the large-diameter end of the first circular table 92 is arranged opposite to the large-diameter end of the second circular table 93.
[0068] The pull rod 90 is sleeved on the lower end of the pin shaft sleeve 50 and locked by the nut 54.

At this time, if the telescopic rod 1-1 is retracted, it will drive the first circular table 92 to move, and in turn drive the pin shaft sleeve 50 to move along the guide groove 10. When the plurality of wedge-shaped blocks 1-4 are between the first circular table 92 and the second circular table 93, if the telescopic rod 1-1 continues to be extended, the inclined surface of the plurality of wedge-shaped blocks 1-4 will be in contact with the second circular table 93, and the telescopic rod 1-1 will continue to be extended, so that the plurality of wedge-shaped blocks 1-4 are in contact with the conical surface of the second circular table 93.

At this time, if the telescopic rod 1-1 is retracted, it will drive the second circular table 93 to move along the connecting rod 91, and further compress the second compression spring 94 through the movement of the second circular table 93, until the second circular table 93 is in contact with the first circular table 92. After that, the telescopic rod 1-1 continues to be retracted, which will drive the wedge-shaped block 1-4 to pass through the second circular table 93 and the first circular table 92 in turn, and finally separate from the traction head.
[0071] The number of wedge-shaped blocks 1-4 in the embodiment can be set according to specific use requirements, and is at least two.

[0073] When the vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle flies back to the parking apron, the vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle body is between the two driving mechanisms, and the two pin shaft sleeves 50 are arranged opposite to the two driving heads. When the vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle needs to take off, the driving mechanism drives the two pin shaft sleeves 50 to move in opposite directions along the guide groove 10, so as to unfold the cantilever 6.

In the process, under the constraint of the supporting rod 12, the included angle between the two hinged cantilevers 6 becomes larger, and the four cantilevers 6 are simultaneously and actively unfolded. Then, the telescopic rod 1-1 is elongated again, the driving clamping sleeve 1-4, the telescopic pin 1-3, the wedge block 1-4, the third compression spring 1-5 and the limiting cap 1-6 are moved to the second circular table 93, until the wedge block 1-4 is in contact with the conical surface of the second circular table 93, then the telescopic pin 1-3 is clamped with the wedge block 1-4 on the second circular table 93 under the elastic restoring force of the third compression spring 1-5, then the telescopic rod 1-1 is retracted again, the second compression spring 94 is further compressed by the movement of the second circular table 93, until the second circular table 93 is in contact with the first circular table 92, and as the telescopic rod 1-1 continues to retract, the wedge block 1-4 is separated from the first circular table 92 and the second circular table 93.
[0074] When the vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle flies back to the parking apron, the cantilever 6 needs to be folded and retracted, so that the entire vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle can adapt to the size space of the parking apron. The folding and retracting process of the cantilever 6 of the passive unfolding mechanism of the vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle disclosed in the embodiment is as follows: the top pin passes through the through hole 30-3, and the locking pin 51 is upwardly locked to make the locking pin 51 separate from the locking effect of the locking hole 30-1, the pin shaft sleeves 50 on both sides move to the middle along the guide groove 10 under the elastic force of the elastic component 11, at the same time, under the constraint of the supporting rod 12, the included angle between the two hinged cantilevers 6 becomes smaller, and the four cantilevers 6 are simultaneously folded and retracted, the size in the X coordinate axis and Y coordinate axis directions is reduced, and the parking on the parking apron is suitable.
[0075] When it is needed to carry the vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle by the off-road SUV vehicle, the upper end of the spare tire box of the off-road SUV vehicle's external spare tire can be used as a parking apron to park the vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle disclosed in the embodiment.
[0076] The cantilever passive unfolding mechanism of the vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle disclosed in the embodiment is hinged to two cantilevers 6 at the same end through a pin shaft sleeve 50, and the pin shaft sleeve 50 can move in opposite directions along a body guide groove 10 under the driving of a driving mechanism, so as to unfold and fold the cantilevers 6, thereby realizing automatic unfolding and folding of the vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle. Meanwhile, the driving mechanism is arranged on the landing apron instead of the body of the vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle, thereby reducing the overall weight of the vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle and effectively improving the endurance mileage of the vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0080] Further, the locking pin 51 is disengaged from the locking hole 30-1, and under the elastic force of the elastic member 11, the two pin shaft sleeves 50 move in opposite directions along the guide groove 10, thereby reducing the included angle between the two hinged cantilevers 6 and folding the cantilevers 6.
