Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 A preferred embodiment of this application shows a multi-purpose unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform, including a frame 1, a power unit 2, a battery compartment 3, a control module 4, and a camera 5. The power unit 2 is screwed to the left and right ends of the frame 1, respectively. The battery compartment 3 and the control module 4 are encapsulated in the middle frame of the frame 1, and cameras 5 are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the frame 1.

[0021] The power unit 2 includes a rotating module 20, a connecting rod 21, and a servo motor 22. The upper and lower sides of the power unit 2 are respectively provided with rotating modules 20, and the rotating modules 20 are connected to each other through the connecting rod 21. A servo motor 22 is provided on the side of the connecting rod 21 near the battery compartment 3 and on the side of the connecting rod 21 near the front and rear frames 1. The output end of the servo motor 22 is connected to the connecting rod 21, and the rear end of the servo motor 22 is screwed to the frame 1.

[0022] The servo motor 22 includes an integral rotation servo motor 220, a front steering control servo motor 221, and a rear steering control servo motor 222. The integral rotation servo motor 220 is screwed and fixed to the frame 1 on one side of the battery compartment 3. The output shaft of the integral rotation servo motor 220 is rotatably fixed to the frame 1 on one side of the power unit 2. The front steering control servo motor 221 is screwed and fixed to the frame 1 on the front side of the rotation module 20, and the rear steering control servo motor 222 is screwed and fixed to the frame 1 on the rear side of the rotation module 20.

[0023] The rotating module 20 includes a housing 200, a motor 201, blades 202, a fixing ring 203, and a protective cover 204. The motor 201 is located inside the housing 200, and several blades 202 are connected to the output end of the motor 201. The fixing ring 203 is connected to the outside of the housing 200, and the protective cover 204 is provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the fixing ring 203. The blades 202 are wrapped inside the fixing ring 203 and the protective cover 204.

[0024] The control module 4 contains a flight control unit, an attitude calculation unit, a signal transceiver unit, a power management unit, and other units. The frame 1 has several standardized expansion interfaces and signal antennas on its exterior. The signal antennas are preferably arranged symmetrically at the top and bottom of the frame 1 to ensure that the signal transceiver unit establishes a two-way communication link with the external terminal.

[0025] In use, the control module 4 controls the battery compartment 3 to supply power, which starts the rotating module 20 and lifts the entire device into the air. After lift-off, the control servo motor 22 drives the connecting rod 21 to rotate the rotating module 20 in multiple dimensions, realizing the dynamic adjustment of the thrust vector of the propeller blade 202. This ensures that the thrust direction adjustment and radial displacement respond in coordination with the flight control commands, thereby improving the attitude stability and maneuver response accuracy of the UAV in complex airflow environments. At the same time, the central platform can be loaded with a variety of functional modules to adapt to different operating scenarios and mission requirements.

[0026] The rotation of the overall rotation servo 220 can drive the rotation module 20 to rotate. The front steering control servo 221 and the rear steering control servo 222 rotate synchronously. The overall rotation servo 220, the front steering control servo 221 and the rear steering control servo 222 work together to achieve the direction control of the whole machine.

[0027] In summary, this invention provides a multi-purpose unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform. This device, through a modular adjustable power structure, enables independent adjustment of the power unit in the spatial attitude dimension. The rotation module, driven by a servo motor, rotates the connecting rod around the X-axis or Y-axis, thereby changing the direction of propeller thrust. The frame has ample reserved space in the middle, which can be used to expand and install other functional modules, such as infrared sensors, laser rangefinders, robotic arm interfaces, and transport compartments, thus significantly improving the device's installation adaptability and platform functional extensibility.

[0028] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
