[0054] When this embodiment is in use, it can be operated through the corresponding rotating servo motor 21 to realize the forward or backward rotation of the duct fan 40 to change its air outlet direction. During rotation, the corresponding limit block 241 is sensed through the sensing end of the proximity switch 2, indicating that it has rotated to the maximum position.

At this time, the proximity switch 2 transmits the sensing signal to the control main board, and the control main board can control the rotating servo motor 21 to stop running, and can subsequently run in reverse to change the blowing direction of the duct fan 40.

[0055] At the same time, by pushing and retracting the push rod of the electric push cylinder 51, the corresponding duct fan 40 can be tilted outward or inward, thereby changing its blowing direction. The modification of these two blowing directions can change the operating direction and lifting of this embodiment to meet different operating needs.

When the required height is reached, the four ducted fans 40 or part of the ducted fans 40 can be rotated to change the blowing direction, so as to achieve the lateral movement flight of the present embodiment. During this process, it is not necessary to change the operating power of the ducted fans 40, so that the present embodiment can fly quickly and have a good use effect.

[0057] At the same time, it can be pushed or retracted by the push rod of the corresponding electric push cylinder 51, so that the duct fan 40 can swing and further change its blowing direction, so that this embodiment can perform operations such as turning as needed to meet the needs of mobile transportation.

[0058] Finally, it should be pointed out that the above embodiments are only representative examples of the present invention. Obviously, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and there are many variations. Any simple modification, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention should be considered to belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
