[0021] See Figures 1-7This invention provides a reconnaissance and strike integrated unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The UAV includes a flight body, comprising a main frame 5. A flight assembly is located on the outer side of the main frame 5 to drive the flight body and ensure the normal flight performance of the entire UAV. A feeding mechanism 6 is installed at the bottom of the main frame 5. The feeding mechanism 6 includes a magazine 8 for storing projectiles 9 and a conveying channel for transporting projectiles 9. The feeding mechanism 6 is used to store and transport projectiles 9, ensuring the supply of projectiles 9 to the launching mechanism 7, guaranteeing the reserve of projectiles 9 during launch, and effectively achieving... The projectile 9 is supplied effectively; the launching mechanism 7 is installed at the bottom of the feeding mechanism 6. The launching mechanism 7 includes a firing element 72 and a cartridge 71, so that the projectile 9 is launched from the cartridge 71 through the firing element 72, ensuring an automatic launching effect; the reconnaissance module 75 is set at the bottom of the launching mechanism 7, which is used to collect video of the visible area at the bottom of the UAV and transmit the collected image to the operator's hand, so that the UAV can be operated to launch and turn the projectile 9, and complete the normal operation of the UAV. The bottom of the main frame 5 is provided with support legs 1 to ensure that the whole structure can be supported.

[0022] In one embodiment, the flight component includes: A protective shell 2 is fixedly connected to the main frame 5. A drive motor 4 is fixedly mounted on the protective shell 2. The protective shell 2 protects the wings and ensures the normal flight performance of the UAV. The wings are fixedly mounted to the output end of the drive motor 4. Protective ropes 3 are installed between the protective shells 2, protecting the main frame 5 and ensuring the stability of the UAV's flight. The UAV, driven by the drive motor 4, can utilize a brushless motor and wings. Here, a combination of a high-efficiency propeller provides lift and propulsion. The power system uses an E1500 high-efficiency disc brushless motor, which has significant advantages in power density and environmental adaptability compared to traditional brushed motors. The E1500 motor provides continuous and stable power output and can reliably operate within an ambient temperature range of -30°C to +60°C, adapting to various complex flight environments such as high altitude, high temperature, and high humidity. Furthermore, its power-to-weight ratio is approximately 15% better than conventional models, allowing it to output greater thrust or achieve longer flight time at the same weight. The motor uses high-grade magnets and precision winding technology to ensure high torque output and long-term operational reliability. Its long lifespan and low maintenance requirements help reduce total lifecycle costs. The motor has a flat efficiency curve, maintaining high efficiency under varying speeds and loads, thus improving energy utilization. It supports multiple control protocols, including PWM, DShot, and CAN bus, allowing for flexible adaptation to various flight control systems. Its compact, flat design also optimizes aerodynamic layout. Built-in temperature, speed, and vibration monitoring functions (existing technology, not detailed here) combined with flight control enable overload protection, temperature management, and health status warnings.

[0023] In one embodiment, to ensure the storage and feeding effect of the projectile 9, a magazine 8 is fixedly installed on the main frame 5. The feeding structure is fixed to the bottom of the magazine 8 to ensure that the projectile 9 can be guided from the bottom of the magazine 8 to the feeding mechanism 6, and to ensure that the feeding mechanism 6 can be fed normally. The feeding mechanism 6 guides and transports the projectile 9 inside the magazine 8. The bottom of the magazine 8 is provided with mounting holes, and the feeding mechanism 6 is installed corresponding to the mounting holes. The bottom of the magazine 8 is provided with a fixing frame 68, and the launching mechanism 7 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the fixing frame 68 to ensure the normal installation effect of the feeding mechanism 6 and the launching mechanism 7.

[0024] Specifically, the feeding mechanism 6 further includes: A fabric cylinder 62 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing frame 68. The top of the fabric cylinder 62 is correspondingly set with the mounting hole to ensure that the projectiles 9 inside the magazine 8 can directly enter the interior of the fabric cylinder 62, ensuring the continuous supply of projectiles 9. A fabric disc 63 is rotatably connected inside the fabric cylinder 62. The fabric disc 63 rotates to guide the projectiles 9 one by one to the discharge port of the discharge cylinder, thereby achieving the continuous supply of projectiles 9. The ammunition supply line is installed at the outlet of the fabric cylinder 62. The conveying channel is located inside the ammunition supply line. The bottom of the ammunition supply line extends to the inlet of the launching mechanism 7, ensuring that the projectile 9 can be continuously and efficiently guided to the predetermined position to ensure the subsequent launching process.

[0025] In one embodiment, to control the direction of the launching mechanism 7, a rotating base is rotatably connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 68. The launching mechanism 7 is mounted on the bottom of the rotating base, so that the orientation of the launching mechanism 7 can be controlled by rotating the rotating base, thereby controlling the launching direction of the projectile 9 and improving accuracy. A drive wheel is provided at the top of the fixed frame 68, which drives the rotating base to rotate synchronously. A control motor 67 is fixedly mounted on the fixed frame 68, and the drive wheel is fixed on the output shaft of the control motor 67. The drive wheel and the rotating base have a sprocket structure on their exteriors, and the drive wheel and the rotating base are connected by a transmission belt 66. Thus, the direction of the launching mechanism 7 can be controlled by the control motor 67, achieving normal aiming and launching.

[0026] In order to ensure the individual screening and control of the projectiles 9, a material groove is provided on the outer wall of the material tray 63. The size of the material groove is slightly larger than the size of a single projectile 9, so that only one projectile 9 can enter the interior of each material groove, thereby realizing the conveying and guiding of a single projectile 9. A material motor is provided at the bottom of the material tray 63 to drive the material tray 63 to rotate, ensuring the normal rotation of the material tray 63 and the normal conveying of the projectiles 9.

[0027] In one embodiment, the launching mechanism 7 includes: The bracket 65 is installed at the bottom of the rotating seat to ensure the installation effect between the launching mechanism 7 and the feeding structure; The buffer chamber has an inlet 74 at its top, which is connected to the outlet of the fabric tube 64. The bracket 65 rotates, causing the fabric tube 64 to rotate relative to the magazine 8. The firing element 72 is located on the side of the buffer chamber away from the magazine 71. The firing element 72 is subjected to force to eject the projectile 9 from the magazine 71.

[0028] Specifically, in order to ensure the firing effect of the projectile 9, the firing element consists of two opposing firing wheels. The firing wheels rotate rapidly to propel the projectile 9 out of the shell. The top of the cartridge 71 is equipped with a sight 73 to ensure the accuracy of the projectile 9.

[0029] In one embodiment, the reconnaissance module 75 is installed at the bottom of the bracket 65, and the feeding mechanism 6 is provided with a control module 61 for controlling the rotation of the fabric motor.

[0030] When using, combine Figures 1-7 The robot operator issues a firing command via a remote control system, and the projectile 9 in the magazine 8 falls into the fabric cylinder 62 at the bottom under gravity. The projectile 9 is then fed by the fabric tray 63, which is driven by a stepper motor or servo motor. The tray has a specific number of fabric grooves; each rotation of a fixed angle precisely guides a single projectile 9 into the feed tube inlet below. This process is coordinated with infrared or Hall effect sensors to detect the projectile 9's arrival, ensuring accurate feeding timing and preventing idle spinning or jamming.

[0031] After entering the feed tube, projectile 9 slides along the feed tube to the firing mechanism 7 under the pressure of gravity and the pushing force of subsequent projectiles 9. At the end of the feed tube, projectile 9 is conveyed between a pair of high-speed counter-rotating friction wheels. The friction wheels are driven by a high-power brushless motor, and the tangential friction between the high-friction coefficient rubber wheels and the projectile 9 accelerates the projectile 9 to a predetermined initial velocity and ejects it from the cartridge case 71. After firing, the feed disc 63 immediately rotates to the next ammunition position, feeding subsequent projectiles 9 into the tube, thereby realizing a continuous and controllable automatic feeding and firing cycle to meet the continuous firepower output requirements in actual use. Ammunition is loaded into the internal magazine 8 through the feeding system. When the firing command is executed, the mechanism smoothly lifts the designated ammunition from the storage position to the loading position on the firing rail. After the ammunition reaches the predetermined position, the positioning sensor confirms that it is in place, and it is temporarily fixed by an electromagnetic locking mechanism.

[0032] In summary, the present invention provides a reconnaissance and strike integrated unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), comprising: The main flight unit includes a main frame with flight components on its outer side to drive the flight unit and ensure normal flight performance of the entire UAV. A feeding mechanism, installed at the bottom of the main frame, includes a magazine for storing projectiles and a conveying channel for transporting projectiles. This feeding mechanism stores and transports projectiles, ensuring a sufficient supply of projectiles to the launching mechanism and guaranteeing sufficient reserve for launch, effectively achieving projectile supply. A launching mechanism, installed at the bottom of the feeding mechanism, includes a firing element and a cartridge case, enabling the firing element to launch projectiles from the cartridge case, ensuring automatic launch. A reconnaissance module, located at the bottom of the launching mechanism, captures video of the visible area at the bottom of the UAV and transmits the captured images to the operator, allowing for projectile launch and turning maneuvers, thus completing normal UAV operations.

[0033] Of course, the present invention may have other various embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications according to the present invention, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
