[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a closed cover is provided between the H-shaped frame and the first folding drive unit, the closed cover is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the H-shaped frame, and an equivalent counterweight block that is centrally symmetrical with the first folding drive unit is provided in the closed cover on the other side.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] (1) The lower clamping arm and the upper clamping arm are installed using the H-frame and the mounting block, respectively. Under the drive of the first folding drive unit, the upper clamping arm, the lower clamping arm, and the blade as a whole are rotated around the mounting axis of the lower clamping arm, thereby adjusting the blade from a horizontal state to a vertical state, completing the first step of the folding operation.

This drives the driven bevel gear to rotate, and the power is transmitted to the drive gear. The rotation of the drive gear drives the adjacent mounting frame to rise and fall along the lifting slide, thereby staggering the height of the mounting frame at the edge of the frame, so that the folded and retracted propellers are at different heights, thus providing more space for retrieving all propellers and further reducing the space occupation rate of the folded UAV.

[0030] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6As shown, a drive device for folding propellers of unmanned aerial vehicles includes a frame 1. Multiple sets of extension arms 50 are circumferentially mounted on the frame 1. Blades 2 are mounted on the extension arms 50. The blades 2 on each set of extension arms 50 are symmetrically arranged. A first folding assembly 3 is arranged between the blades 2. A second folding assembly 4 is arranged between the extension arm 50 and the first folding assembly 3. A propeller arm folding mechanism 5 is arranged between the extension arm 50 and the frame 1. The propeller arm folding mechanism 5 drives the extension arm 50 to come close to the edge of the frame 1.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the first folding assembly 3 includes a rotating shaft 30, an H-shaped frame 31 and a mounting block 32 fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 30, lower clamping arms 36 symmetrically mounted at both ends of the H-shaped frame 31, and snap-fit ​​arms 39 at both ends of the mounting block 32. Arc-shaped frames 38 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the snap-fit ​​arms 39, and an upper clamping arm 37 is slidably snapped between the arc-shaped frames 38. The blade 2 is fixedly mounted between the upper clamping arm 37 and the lower clamping arm 36. A first folding drive unit is provided between the lower clamping arm 36 and the H-shaped frame 31. The first folding drive unit drives the blade 2 to adjust from a horizontal state to a vertical state.

[0033] like Figure 6 As shown, the second folding assembly 4 includes a mounting flange 42 disposed at the end of the extension arm 50. A snap-fit ​​cylinder 40 is rotatably mounted on the mounting flange 42. A drive motor 41 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the snap-fit ​​cylinder 40. The rotating shaft 30 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 41. A second folding drive unit is disposed between the snap-fit ​​cylinder 40 and the mounting flange 42. The second folding drive unit drives the rotating shaft 30 to adjust from a vertical state to a horizontal state.

[0034] Specifically, the rotating shaft 30 drives the upper blade 2 to rotate. The lower clamping arm 36 and the upper clamping arm 37 are respectively installed through the H-shaped frame 31 and the mounting block 32. Under the drive of the first folding drive unit, the upper clamping arm 37, the lower clamping arm 36, and the blade 2 as a whole are controlled to rotate around the rotation mounting axis of the lower clamping arm 36, thereby adjusting the blade 2 from a horizontal state to a vertical state and completing the first step of the folding operation.

[0035] Subsequently, the second folding drive unit controls the locking cylinder 40 and the first folding assembly 3 installed on it to rotate, so that the blade 2 is adjusted from a vertical state to a horizontal state parallel to the extension arm 50. Finally, the blade 2 is retracted to the edge of the frame 1 by the blade arm folding mechanism 5, thus completing the folding and retraction drive of the blade 2.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the first folding drive unit includes an incomplete gear 310 disposed on the side of the H-shaped frame 31. The incomplete gears 310 are symmetrically arranged and mesh with each other. One of the incomplete gears 310 is connected to a power motor. A pulley 311 is coaxially mounted on the incomplete gear 310. A pulley 313 is coaxially mounted on the rotational connection axis between the lower clamping arm 36 and the H-shaped frame 31. A belt 312 is disposed between the pulley 311 and the pulley 313.

[0037] Specifically, the symmetrically arranged incomplete gears 310, pulley 1 311, pulley 2 313, and belt 1 312 drive the lower clamping arm 36, upper clamping arm 37, and blade 2 on both sides to rotate, thereby realizing the synchronous folding and retraction and unfolding control of blade 2.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, a closed cover is provided between the H-shaped frame 31 and the first folding drive unit. The closed cover is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the H-shaped frame 31. An equivalent counterweight block that is centrally symmetrical with the first folding drive unit is provided inside the closed cover on the other side.

[0039] Specifically, in order to reduce the aerodynamic resistance caused by the first folding drive unit on the side when the blade 2 rotates, a closed cover is set between the first folding drive unit and the H-frame 31. At the same time, a closed cover is set on the other side where the first folding drive unit is not installed. An equivalent counterweight block that is centrally symmetrical with the first folding drive unit is set in the closed cover to ensure the stability of the blade 2 during rotation.

[0040] The other side of the enclosure and the equivalent counterweight inside are not shown in the attached diagram.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 , Figure 8 As shown, the extension arm 50 is a telescopic structure. A lifting frame 34 is provided on the top of the mounting block 32. An electric telescopic column 33 is provided between the mounting block 32 and the lifting frame 34. Locking columns 35 are provided at both ends of the lifting frame 34. Matching holes are provided on the upper clamping arm 37 at the corresponding positions of the locking columns 35. When the upper clamping arm 37 is in a horizontal state, the locking columns 35 are directly opposite the matching holes.

[0042] Specifically, the extension arm 50 is designed as a telescopic structure, which facilitates the adjustment of the blade 2 length according to the drone's payload requirements, thereby adjusting the drone's payload capacity. At the same time, in order to ensure the stability of the blade 2 during flight, when the blade 2 is adjusted to the horizontally deployed state, the upper clamping arm 37 is locked in conjunction with the electric telescopic column 33, the lifting frame 34, and the locking column 35, thereby locking the horizontally deployed blade 2.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the second folding drive unit includes a recycling groove 51 disposed between the extension arms 50, a bevel gear set 43 disposed between the extension arms 50 and the mounting flange 42, and a locking post 400 disposed at both ends of the locking cylinder 40. The locking post 400 is rotatably mounted between the mounting flange 42, and the axis of the bevel gear set 43 is connected to the power motor and the locking post 400 respectively.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, a telescopic motor 44 is horizontally fixedly installed at the end of the extension arm 50. The telescopic motor 44 is connected to a flexible rod 45. A locking rod 450 is connected to the end of the flexible rod 45. A guide groove 46 is provided on the mounting flange 42. Two sets of locking holes 401 are provided on the snap-fit ​​post 400. The interval angle between the two sets of locking holes 401 is ninety degrees. The locking rod 450 and the locking hole 401 cooperate with each other.

[0045] Specifically, the recycling trough 51 is used to accommodate the drive motor 41 when adjusted to a horizontal position. The locking cylinder 40 is rotated by the bevel gear set 43, thereby driving the drive motor 41, the rotating shaft 30, and the upper first folding assembly 3 to adjust to a horizontal position. Furthermore, by providing a guide groove 46 on the mounting flange 42, and installing a locking rod 450 in conjunction with the telescopic motor 44 and the flexible rod 45, and by providing locking holes 401 spaced at 90-degree intervals on the locking post 400, when the locking rod 450 extends into the locking hole 401, the locking state of the locking cylinder 40 is locked; conversely, the locking of the locking cylinder 40 is released when it moves out of the locking hole.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 8 As shown, the paddle arm folding mechanism 5 includes a mounting frame 56 disposed on the edge of the frame 1. The end of the extension arm 50 is rotatably mounted between the mounting frame 56 and the mounting frame 56. A motor 55 is fixedly disposed on the mounting frame 56. The motor 55 is connected to a drive gear 54. The end edge of the extension arm 50 is provided with a mating external tooth 53, which meshes with the drive gear 54.

[0047] Specifically, after the blade 2 is adjusted to a horizontal position parallel to the extension arm 50, the extension arm 50 is swung by the motor 55 and the drive gear 54, causing the extension arm 50 and the blade 2 to come close to the edge of the frame 1, as shown in the following example. Figure 1 As shown.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Figure 9As shown, a misalignment mechanism 6 is provided on the inner side of the frame 1. The misalignment mechanism 6 is connected to the paddle arm folding mechanism 5. A lifting slide groove 10 is provided on the edge of the frame 1. A snap-fit ​​slider 57 is provided on the mounting frame 56. The mounting frame 56 is slidably installed between the snap-fit ​​slider 57 and the lifting slide groove 10. The misalignment mechanism 6 includes a first driving bevel gear 61 and a second driving bevel gear 63 rotatably installed inside the frame 1. A transmission pulley and a belt 62 are provided between the first driving bevel gear 61 and the second driving bevel gear 63. The first driving bevel gear 61 and the second driving bevel gear 63 are respectively meshed with a driven bevel gear 64. The driven bevel gear 64 is connected to a driving gear 65. A rack plate 60 is fixedly provided on the snap-fit ​​slider 57. The driving gear 65 and the rack plate 60 mesh with each other. The rack plate 60 is fixedly connected to the snap-fit ​​slider 57.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to further improve the folding and recovery capability of the propeller 2 and reduce the overall space occupation of the folded drone, a lifting chute 10 is set on the edge of the frame 1. When the propeller 2 is folded and recovered to the edge of the frame 1, the first drive bevel gear 61 is controlled to rotate. Combined with the transmission pulley and belt 62, the second drive bevel gear 63 is driven to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the driven bevel gear 64 to rotate and transmitting power to the drive gear 65. The rotation of the drive gear 65 drives the adjacent mounting brackets 56 to rise and fall along the lifting chute 10, thereby staggering the height of the mounting brackets 56 on the edge of the frame 1, so that the folded and recovered propeller 2 is at different heights, thus providing more space for recovering all the propeller 2 and further reducing the space occupation rate of the folded drone.

[0050] The working principle of this invention embodiment is as follows:

[0051] like Figures 1-9As shown, when the propeller blades 2 of the UAV need to be folded and retracted, the first folding assembly 3 is used to adjust the propeller blades 2 to a vertical position, and then the second folding assembly 4 is used to adjust the propeller blades 2 to a horizontal position parallel to the extension arm 50. After adjustment, the flexible rod 45 and the locking rod 450 are used to lock the locking post 400, thereby locking the state of the propeller blades 2 relative to the extension arm 50. Then, the propeller arm folding mechanism 5 is used to adjust the propeller blades 2 and the extension arm 50 to be close to the edge of the frame 1. To further enhance the folding and retraction capability of the propeller 2 and reduce the overall space occupied by the folded drone, a lifting chute 10 is set at the edge of the frame 1. When the propeller 2 is folded and retracted to the edge of the frame 1, the first drive bevel gear 61 is controlled to rotate. Combined with the transmission pulley and belt 62, the second drive bevel gear 63 is driven to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the driven bevel gear 64 to rotate and transmitting power to the drive gear 65. The rotation of the drive gear 65 causes the adjacent mounting brackets 56 to rise and fall along the lifting chute 10, thereby staggering the height of the mounting brackets 56 at the edge of the frame 1. This allows the folded and retracted propeller 2 to be at different heights, thus providing more space for retrieving all the propeller 2 and further reducing the space occupied by the folded drone.
