[0050] like Figure 1-12As shown, the variable-shape multi-modal vertical take-off and landing UAV includes a UAV body, the UAV body includes a body structure 1, the body structure 1 includes a power mechanism 102, a tilt mechanism 103, a flight control mechanism, and a power battery pack, the power battery pack provides power for the whole machine, the shell of the body structure 1 is generally a cylindrical shell, the rear side of the shell of the body structure 1 is concavely provided with a wing storage groove 2, the wing storage groove 2 is provided with a left wing 3 and a right wing 4 through a first rotating structure, the first rotating structure is used for the unfolding and folding of the left wing 3 and the right wing 4, it should be noted that the left wing 3 and the right wing 4 are staggered front and back, when the left wing 3 and the right wing 4 are folded, the left wing 3 and the right wing 4 overlap front and back and there is a gap between them;
[0051] The left and right sides of the lower middle part of the shell of the body structure 1 are obliquely provided with tail storage grooves 5, and the two tail storage grooves 5 together form an inverted V-shaped structure. Each tail storage groove 5 is provided with a tail 6 through a second rotating structure, and the second rotating structure is used for unfolding and folding the tail 6. The two tail wings 6 are also in a V-shaped structure. During the take-off and landing stage of the UAV, the left wing 3 and the right wing 4 are folded through the first rotating structure, and the two tail wings 6 are folded through the second rotating structure at the same time, and the body is vertically upward to become a rotary wing UAV; during the level flight stage, after the UAV vertically climbs to a certain height, the left wing 3 and the right wing 4 are unfolded through the first rotating structure, and the two tail wings 6 are unfolded through the second rotating structure, and the posture is gradually changed through the comprehensive control of the power mechanism 102 and the tilting mechanism 103, so that the body is tilted 90 degrees and transformed into a fixed-wing mode, thereby achieving a long flight time; in addition, when flying in the air, the mode can be switched between the fixed-wing UAV and the rotary-wing UAV at any time according to the mission requirements to meet different mission requirements.
[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, as a preference, the first rotating structure includes a first steering gear 7, a steering gear connecting rod 12, a driving gear 8, a first driven helical gear 9, a second driven helical gear 10, a first rotating shaft, and a second rotating shaft;
[0053] The first steering gear 7 is arranged in the housing of the body structure 1, and the output shaft of the first steering gear 7 passes through the housing of the body structure 1 and extends to the upper end of the bottom of the wing storage slot 2;
[0054] One end of the steering gear connecting rod 12 is connected to the output shaft of the first steering gear 7, and the driving gear 8 is sleeved on the other end of the steering gear connecting rod 12. The output shaft of the first steering gear 7 drives the steering gear connecting rod 12 to rotate, thereby driving the driving gear 8 to rotate.
[0055] The front end of the first rotating shaft and the front end of the second rotating shaft are respectively arranged on the bottom of the wing storage groove 2 through bearings and are located on the left and right sides of the driving gear 8. The length of the first rotating shaft is greater than that of the second rotating shaft, and the difference between the lengths of the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft is at least greater than twice the thickness of the wing, so as to ensure that the two wings can be stored overlappingly.
[0056] The first driven helical gear 9 is sleeved on the middle part of the first rotating shaft, and the second driven helical gear 10 is sleeved on the middle part of the second rotating shaft. The first driven helical gear 9 and the second driven helical gear 10 are respectively meshed with the driving gear 8, and the output shaft of the first steering gear 7 drives the steering gear connecting rod 12 to rotate, thereby driving the driving gear 8 to rotate.

The rotation directions of the first driven helical gear 9 and the second driven helical gear 10 are just opposite, that is, one rotates clockwise while the other rotates counterclockwise.

Since the length of the first rotating shaft is greater than the length of the second rotating shaft and the length difference between the two is greater than the thickness of the wing, it can be ensured that the left wing 3 and the right wing 4 can be overlapped and stored when folded, thereby reducing the storage size and reducing the wind resistance. When the first driven bevel gear 9 is clockwise rotated, the left wing 3 and the right wing 4 can be unfolded and folded. When the first driven bevel gear 9 rotates counterclockwise and the second driven bevel gear 10 rotates clockwise, the left wing 3 and the right wing 4 move away from each other to be unfolded; in addition, the servo can control the speed with very accurate position accuracy, and can convert the voltage signal into torque and speed to drive the control object.

The corresponding tail wing 6 can be rotated counterclockwise or clockwise along the inclined surface of the corresponding tail wing storage slot 5 by the output shaft of the second servo to achieve the unfolding and folding of the tail wing 6.

Due to the coordinated use of the limit rod 10317 and the limit slot 10316, the tilting body 1031 will not rotate in the horizontal plane.
[0072] In this example, as a preference, the flight control mechanism includes an electronic speed governor, a flight control computer, and an airborne data link. The electronic speed governor is arranged below the tilt mechanism 103. The forward propeller motor 1024, the reverse propeller motor 1025, and the two servo steering engines 10321 are respectively connected to the electronic speed governor signal. The flight control computer and the airborne data link are respectively arranged at the lower end of the inner cavity of the body structure 1 and the flight control computer is located above the airborne data link. The electronic speed governor and the airborne data link are respectively connected to the flight control computer signal. The flight control computer is used to control the whole machine. The onboard data link is used for receiving and sending onboard data, and the fuselage structure 1 may also be equipped with a gyroscope and a compass for detecting the horizontal rotation angle and angular velocity of the aircraft; the electronic speed governor, the flight control computer, the onboard data link, the forward propeller motor 1024, the reverse propeller motor 1025, the two servo steering gears 10312, the servo motors, the steering gears and other electrical components are electrically connected to the power battery pack respectively; in addition, the power battery pack is detachably arranged in the fuselage structure 1, which is convenient for the subsequent replacement of power battery packs of different capacities to meet the power requirements of different tasks.
[0073] like Fig.12 As shown, in this example, in order to reduce the damage caused by the rigid friction between the adjusting ball head and the inner surfaces of the two hemispherical grooves, a refueling hole 11 for adding lubricating oil is provided at the central position of the upper surface of the power base 1034. The refueling hole 11 is generally conical in shape, and the structure with a larger top and a smaller bottom is convenient for adding lubricating oil. The refueling hole 11 completely penetrates the power base and is interconnected with the second hemispherical groove 10312, that is, the refueling hole 11 completely penetrates the power base and the upper half of the second cylinder 10311. Lubricating oil can be added to the surface of the adjusting ball head 10313 and the inner surface of the second hemispherical groove 10312 through the refueling hole 11, and at the same time, it will flow along the surface of the adjusting ball head 10313 to the inner surface of the first hemispherical groove 1039. The lubricating oil makes the adjusting ball head 10313 and the inner surfaces of the two hemispherical grooves relatively lubricated to facilitate the relative rotation of the two, and at the same time, the damage caused by the rigid friction between the adjusting ball head 10313 and the inner surfaces of the two hemispherical grooves can be reduced.
