When the rotating frame and the horizontal cross section of the fuselage are parallel, the axes of the first to the fourth rotors are perpendicular to the plane where the rotating frame is located. Figure 4 When the first to fourth rotor speeds are controlled to rotate the rotating frame, the first and second output rods rotate in the same direction, so that the first to fourth rotors generate forward thrust, such as Figure 5 As shown; like Figure 6 As shown, the fixing rod is symmetrically provided with a first and a second slide groove parallel to its axis on the side wall at one end of the outer side of the first long plate, and a third and a fourth slide groove parallel to its axis are symmetrically provided on the side wall at one end of the outer side of the second long plate, and the first to fourth slide grooves have the same structure, the first and the third slide grooves are collinear, and the second and the fourth slide grooves are collinear; The locking mechanism comprises first to fourth locking units; The first to fourth locking units have the same structure and all include a locking motor, a locking link and a locking latch, wherein the locking motor is a linear motor; the locking link is L-shaped, one end of which is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the locking motor, and the other end is fixedly connected to one end of the locking latch, so that the locking latch is parallel to the output shaft of the locking motor; the locking latch can be inserted into the first slide groove and slide freely relative to the first slide groove. When sliding, a part of the locking latch is located in the slide groove, and a part is higher than the depth of the slide groove and exposed outside the slide groove, such as Figure 6 As shown; The first and second locking units are arranged on the same side of the fuselage, their locking motors are fixed on the fuselage, and their locking pins are respectively inserted into the first and second slide grooves; the third and fourth locking units are arranged on the other side of the fuselage, their locking motors are fixed on the fuselage, and their locking pins are respectively inserted into the third and fourth slide grooves; the locking motors of the first to fourth locking units are used to control the insertion depth of their locking pins; like Figure 7 As shown, the outer wall of the first long plate is provided at its first mounting hole with a first plug hole for cooperating with a portion of a locking pin of the first locking unit exposed outside the first slide slot when the rotating frame is parallel to the horizontal cross section of the fuselage, and the outer wall of the second long plate is provided at its first mounting hole with a third plug hole for cooperating with a portion of a locking pin of the third locking unit exposed outside the third slide slot when the rotating frame is parallel to the horizontal cross section of the fuselage; The outer wall of the first long plate is provided at its first mounting hole with a second plug hole for mating with a portion of a locking pin of the second locking unit exposed outside the second slide slot when the rotating frame rotates until the axes of the first to fourth rotors are parallel to the horizontal cross section of the fuselage; the outer wall of the second long plate is provided at its first mounting hole with a fourth plug hole for mating with a portion of a locking pin of the fourth locking unit exposed outside the fourth slide slot when the rotating frame rotates until the axes of the first to fourth rotors are parallel to the horizontal cross section of the fuselage; The control module is electrically connected to the locking motors of the first to fourth locking units and the first to fourth rotors, respectively, and is used to control the operation of the locking motors of the first to fourth locking units and the first to fourth rotors.
[0013] The preset first ratio is preferably 3:1, and the preset second ratio is preferably 2:1. At this time, when the fixed rod rotates 15°, the first and second output rods can rotate 90°. Through the first ratio and the second ratio, the rotating frame only rotates a small angle when the first to fourth rotors rotate at a large angle.
[0014] When the UAV flies in rotor mode, the rotating frame is parallel to the horizontal cross section of the fuselage, and the axes of the first to fourth rotors are perpendicular to the rotating frame. The control module controls the locking pins in the first and third locking units to be inserted into the first and third sockets respectively, and the locking pins of the second and fourth locking units are respectively outside the second and fourth sockets, so as to lock the rotating frame and the fixing rod parallel to the horizontal cross section of the fuselage. Figure 8 As shown, at this time, the first to fourth rotors serve as the main lift sources, and the lift can be changed by changing the rotation speed of the first to fourth rotors to achieve control of the aircraft.
[0015] When the UAV has a certain forward flight speed, it can be converted to fixed-wing mode flight. At this time, the control module first controls the locking pins in the first and third locking units to be pulled out from the first and third sockets respectively, and then generates torque by controlling the differential speed of the first, second rotors and the third, fourth rotors to rotate the rotating frame, thereby causing the axes of the first to fourth rotors to rotate to provide thrust. When the axes of the first to fourth rotors rotate to be parallel to the horizontal cross-section of the fuselage, the control module controls the locking pins of the second and fourth locking units to be inserted into the second and fourth sockets respectively, locking the rotating frame and the fixed rod parallel to the horizontal cross-section of the fuselage. At this time, the first to fourth rotors provide the power for forward flight, and the lift is provided by the fixed wing.
[0016] The curve of the forward flight speed of the drone changing from rotor mode to fixed-wing mode is as follows: Fig. 9 As shown, t1 and t2 are the start and end times of the tilt respectively.
