[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings:

[0027] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, a drone with a self-rescue function comprises a fuselage body 1, wing main wings 2 arranged on both sides of the fuselage body 1, a power compartment 11 is arranged inside the fuselage body 1, a driving assembly 3 is arranged inside the power compartment 11, a power compartment 14 is also arranged inside the power compartment 11, a plurality of power batteries 15 are installed inside the power compartment 14, and the power batteries 15 generate electricity for the entire driving assembly 3.

The dynamic component 3 includes a motor fixing plate 31, a driving motor 32, a rotating shaft transmission plate 33, a rotating shaft locking ring 34 and an angle adjustment member 35. The motor fixing plate 31 is fixedly arranged inside the power compartment 11, and the driving motor 32 is fixedly installed inside the motor fixing plate 31. The end of the rotating shaft of the driving motor 32 is connected to the left end of the rotating shaft transmission plate 33. The rotating shaft transmission plate 33 and the rotating shaft of the driving motor 32 are fixed by the rotating shaft locking ring 34. The left end of the rotating shaft transmission plate 33 is connected to the angle adjustment member 35. Specifically, the angle adjustment member 35 includes a first U-shaped member 351, a second U-shaped member 352 and a cross shaft 353. The left end of the rotating shaft transmission plate 33 is connected to the first U-shaped member 351, the left end of the first U-shaped member 351 is connected to the cross shaft 353, the cross shaft 353 is also connected to the second U-shaped member 352, and the end of the second U-shaped member 352 is connected to the driving wing 4. After such a configuration, the rotating shaft of the driving motor 32 can drive the rotating shaft transmission plate 33, and the rotating shaft transmission plate 33 can drive the first U-shaped When the first U-shaped member 351 rotates, the second U-shaped member 352 can be driven to rotate through the cross shaft 353. When the second U-shaped member 352 rotates, the driving wing 4 will rotate to generate thrust. Driven by the driving wing 4, the entire UAV can glide. It should be noted that the driving wing 4 of the UAV may be hit by strong winds or other birds during the gliding process. At this time, the second U-shaped member 352 connected to the driving wing 4 will fine-tune the angle on the cross shaft 353 to avoid excessive hard damage to the driving wing 4.

[0028] In this embodiment, a self-rescue chamber 12 is provided on the surface of the fuselage body 1, and a launching assembly 5 is fixedly installed inside the self-rescue chamber 12, and a parachute 56 is arranged inside the launching assembly 5. Specifically, the launching assembly 5 includes a launching channel 51, a launching main shaft 52, a launching support block 53, a claw 54, an elastic buckle 55 and a parachute 56. The launching main shaft 52 is slidably connected inside the launching channel 51, and metal plates are installed at both ends of the launching main shaft 52. A limiting column 521 is provided to the left on the metal plate at the right end of the launching main shaft 52, and a launching limiting groove 522 is provided on the surface of the limiting column 521. A launching support block 53 is fixedly installed on the left side of the limiting column 521 and inside the launching channel 51. A first channel 531 and a second channel 532 are arranged inside the launching support block 53, and a claw 54 is rotatably connected inside the first channel 531, and a second spring 57 is arranged inside the second channel 532.

The elastic buckle 55 has a certain elasticity and its top can limit the up and down shaking of the claw 54. A parachute 56 is provided on the other side of the launch main shaft 52, and a windshield 121 can be rotatably provided at the exit of the self-rescue cabin 12. After such arrangement, whenever the parachute needs to be launched, the launch main shaft 52 slides to the left. The clamping claw 54 will gradually slide out of the launch limit groove 522. At this time, the launch shaft 52 is released, and the second spring 57 inside the second channel 532 will generate elastic force to push the limit column 521 to the right. In this way, the entire launch shaft 52 will slide to the right until the entire parachute 56 located inside the launch channel 51 is ejected and unfolded. It should be noted that before the clamping claw 54 is separated from the launch limit groove 522, it is squeezed downward by the elastic buckle 55 so that it is firmly stuck in the launch limit groove 522.

[0029] In this embodiment, the power compartment 11 and the self-rescue compartment 12 are connected, and a first support plate 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the self-rescue compartment 12 close to the power compartment 11. A starter 6 for controlling the switch of the launch assembly 5 is provided on the first support plate 13. Specifically, the starter 6 includes a second electromagnet 61 and a backup battery 62. The second electromagnet 61 is provided with a controller 63, and a gyroscope is provided in the controller 63. The backup battery 62 circuit is connected to the second electromagnet 61 and the controller 63. The controller 63 determines that the entire drone is out of control by judging that the parameters of the gyroscope change abnormally. Then the controller 63 energizes the second electromagnet 61. After the second electromagnet 61 is energized, it will attract the launch spindle 52 and move it to the left. After the attraction lasts for a few seconds, the second electromagnet 61 will fail, and the launch spindle 52 can proceed to the next step normally.

[0030] In this embodiment, a plurality of support rods 16 are provided on the bottom surface of the fuselage body 1, and the end of each support rod 16 can be rotatably connected to a roller 17. A camera mounting groove 18 is also provided on the bottom surface of the fuselage body 1, and a high-definition camera 19 is rotatably installed inside the camera mounting groove 18. A first notch 21 is provided on one side of each wing, and an aileron shaft 22 is fixedly installed inside the first notch 21. The aileron shaft 22 can be rotatably connected to a wing aileron 7. A plurality of support columns 71 and fixed blocks 72 are provided on the surface of the wing aileron 7, and the aileron shaft 22 can be rotatably connected inside the fixed block 72. A first spring 73 is provided on the surface of each support column 71, and a metal block 74 is provided on the surface of the wing aileron 7. A first electromagnet is provided on the side of the wing main wing 2 close to the metal block 74. 23, the first electromagnet 23 is connected to the power battery 15 inside the fuselage body 1, and when the first electromagnet 23 is energized, the first spring 73 and the wing aileron 7 are in a mutually squeezed state. After being set in this way, the first electromagnet 23 is in a energized state in daily flight, and the first electromagnet 23 will firmly absorb the metal block 74 on the surface of the wing aileron 7, so that the entire wing aileron 7 will move closer to the inside of the first notch 21 on the wing main wing 2. After moving closer, the wing aileron 7 will not affect the gliding of the entire UAV. If the UAV loses control, the power battery 15 will cut off the power supply to the first electromagnet 23, and the entire wing aileron 7 will be subject to the elastic force of the first spring 73, so that the entire wing aileron 7 will rotate around the aileron shaft 22. After unfolding, the wing aileron 7 plays a role of deceleration, which buys time for the subsequent launch assembly 5 to eject the parachute 56.

[0031] Working principle and use method of the present invention:

[0032] During takeoff, the shaft of the driving motor 32 can drive the shaft transmission plate 33. When the shaft transmission plate 33 rotates, it can drive the first U-shaped member 351 to rotate. When the first U-shaped member 351 rotates, it can drive the second U-shaped member 352 to rotate through the cross shaft 353. When the second U-shaped member 352 rotates, the driving wing 4 will rotate to generate thrust. Driven by the driving wing 4, the entire UAV can glide. During the gliding process, if the driving wing 4 is hit by strong winds or other birds, the second U-shaped member 352 connected to the driving wing 4 will fine-tune the angle on the cross shaft 353 to avoid excessive hard damage to the driving wing 4. If the UAV encounters an emergency or is improperly operated and loses control, the controller 63 determines that the entire UAV is out of control through the abnormal changes in the gyroscope parameters, and the power battery 15 will The power supply to the first electromagnet 23 will be cut off, and the entire wing aileron 7 will be subjected to the elastic force of the first spring 73, so that the entire wing aileron 7 will rotate and unfold around the aileron shaft 22. After unfolding, the wing aileron 7 will play a role of deceleration, and then the controller 63 will energize the second electromagnet 61. After being energized, the second electromagnet 61 will attract the launch shaft 52 and move it to the left. After the attraction continues for a few seconds, the second electromagnet 61 will fail. When the launch shaft 52 slides to the left, the claw 54 will gradually slide out of the launch limit groove 522. After releasing the launch shaft 52, the second spring 57 inside the second channel 532 will generate elastic force to push the limit column 521 to the right, so that the entire launch shaft 52 will slide to the right until the entire parachute 56 located inside the launch channel 51 is ejected and unfolded, thereby completing the entire self-rescue process.
