DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

In this embodiment, the driving gear 11 is a fan-shaped gear, and can also be a circular gear. A rack 16 is fixed to the sliding assembly, and the rack 16 moves up and down along the sliding assembly. The rack 16 is meshed with the driving gear 11, and a first rack ball head is also fixed on the surface of the rack 16 The first rack ball head seat 14 is connected with a pull rod 5, the first rack ball head seat 14 adjusts the position of the pull rod 5 so that the pull rod 5 is connected to the outer side of the lower plate 3, and the other end of the pull rod 5 is connected to the side of the lower plate 3 through the ball head connecting rod 4. The operation of the servo 9 controls the driving gear 11 to rotate, and further drives the rack 16 to move up and down. The up and down movement of the rack 16 will cause the first rack ball head seat 14 to move, and then push the pull rod 5 to move, so that the lower plate 3 will deviate up and down, changing the flight direction of the helicopter-type UAV. In the existing rocker arm connecting rod structure, the connecting rod is a non-linear motion.
