[0026] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: Air operation mode: An aerial quadrotor system is adopted, which includes four folding propellers 21 and a carbon fiber robotic arm 30. The root of the blade of the folding propeller 21 is locked with a magnetic lock 27 through a retractable rod 212. When unfolded, the blade plane forms a 15° outward inclination angle with the horizontal plane. Start the controller switch 29 and the UAV switch 204. The control unit 203 starts self-detection, adjusts the air / water switching button 17 of the UAV handle to the air mode, controls the takeoff through the right control handle 14. At the same time, the camera 201 starts to work, and cooperates with the laser rangefinder 206 and the Beidou satellite navigation module 216 to transmit real-time data and images to the display screen 101 through the wireless transmission module. When reaching the rescue mission location, cooperate with the lower camera 208 and the life detector 207 to transmit data to the display screen. After finding the rescue target, press the hook release switch 11, and the multi-purpose hook 215 opens to lower the rescue tool kit.

[0027] During flight, the solar panel 25 charges the lithium battery 217 to increase the endurance time. Water operation mode: After reaching the target water area, the left control handle 21 starts to descend.

The UAV starts the surfacing mode under the action of buoyancy. After reaching the water surface, start the flight mode. The magnetic lock 27 opens, the retractable rod 212 works, pushes the robotic arm 30 to the original position, and at the same time the brushless motor works, and the folding propellers 21 start to work to start flying in the air.

[0028] The data is stored in the data memory card 19 for easy reading. During flight, press the camera button 16 to start recording the flight process, and the camera can be adjusted closer or farther through the camera adjustment button 15.
