[0055] It can be understood that the airflow output by the blade assembly is in the first airflow direction after passing through the first wind direction adjusting assembly, and the airflow output by the blade assembly is in the second airflow direction after passing through the second wind direction adjusting assembly. Any angle can be formed between the first airflow direction and the second airflow direction, thereby driving the drone to move in different directions.

[0056] When working, the driving force is output through the driving component, and the blade component converts the driving force into the lift required by the inspection drone, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the drone; at the same time, the first wind direction adjustment component and the second wind direction adjustment component cooperate with each other to adjust the first airflow direction and the second airflow direction of the airflow respectively, thereby adjusting the position of the drone in three-dimensional space, and reaching any target position when inspecting the inner cavity of the fan blade.

[0057] The inspection drone for the inner cavity of a wind turbine blade provided by the present invention can enter the inner cavity of the wind turbine blade and realize movement in all directions under the action of a wind direction adjustment component. It is very flexible and can replace manual inspection work on the inner cavity of the wind turbine blade, thereby reducing safety risks and improving inspection efficiency.

[0059] The first swing arm 41 extends along a first direction (such as the X direction in the figure), and both ends of the first swing arm 41 are rotatably connected to the fuselage 1; the first servo 42 is installed on the fuselage 1 and can drive the first swing arm 41 to rotate; the first air guide plate 43 is installed on the first swing arm 41 and rotates with the first swing arm 41 to adjust the first airflow direction of the airflow.

[0060] Specifically, when the UAV needs to move to one side of the first swing rod 41, it is necessary to control the first wind guide plate 43 to swing to the other side of the first swing rod 41, so that the UAV can move to one side of the first swing rod 41 under the action of airflow.

[0061] In one embodiment, the second wind direction adjustment assembly includes: a second swing lever 44 , a second steering gear 45 and a second wind guide plate 46 .
