[0021] 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.
[0022] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The utility model provides an embodiment: a UAV rotor protection mechanism, including a UAV shell 1, a plurality of contraction slots 2 are provided around the UAV shell 1, the inside of the contraction slots 2 are rotatably connected with a rotating shaft 9, the outside of the rotating shaft 9 is fixedly connected with a support rod 3, an adjustment retraction component is installed inside the UAV shell 1, the bottom outer side of the support rod 3 is rotatably connected with a driving shaft 17, the upper outer side of the driving shaft 17 is fixedly connected with a mounting piece 16, a rotor cover 19 is nested outside the driving shaft 17, a plurality of rotor blades 18 are evenly fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the rotor cover 19, a fixing sleeve 20 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the driving shaft 17, and the support rod 3 is provided with a plurality of rotor blades 18. A rotor protection assembly is installed on the lower side, and the rotor protection assembly includes a connecting sleeve 15 located on the outside of the bottom end of the support rod 3, the external thread of the connecting sleeve 15 is connected to a mounting ring 13, and a plurality of connecting rods 14 are evenly fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting ring 13, and an upper support ring 4 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod 14, and a plurality of support plates 5 are evenly fixedly connected to the bottom end of the upper support ring 4, and a lower support ring 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support plate 5, and the bottom end of the upper support ring 4 is connected to the top end of the lower support ring 7 through a plurality of air inlet fins 6, and the plurality of lower support rings 7 are distributed inside the compartment formed by the plurality of support plates 5, and the inner circle of the upper support ring 4 is smaller than the inner circle of the lower support ring 7.
[0023] When the drive shaft 17 rotates, the rotor blades 18 rotate rapidly, and the external air enters through the compartment formed by the top of the upper support ring 4 and the multiple air inlet fins 6, so that the air passes vertically through the inner side of the lower support ring 7 and acts downward, thereby lifting the drone shell 1, and the rotor blades 18 rotate inside the space surrounded by the air inlet fins 6, blocking external debris outside, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotor blades 18 during operation. When too much debris adheres to the outside of the air inlet fins 6, the fixing sleeve 20 is rotated, and the external thread of the drive shaft 17 contacts the inner thread of the fixing sleeve 20, thereby removing the fixing sleeve 20, pulling out the rotor sleeve 19 downward, and rotating the upper support ring 4, the inner thread of the mounting ring 13 contacts the outer thread of the connecting sleeve 15, thereby removing the air inlet fins 6, avoiding damage to the rotor of the drone during operation, and improving the safety of the rotor operation process.
[0024] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The adjusting retraction assembly includes a bidirectional threaded rod 11 located inside the drone shell 1, and both sides of the outside of the bidirectional threaded rod 11 are threadedly connected with traction tooth blocks 10, the rear end of the drone shell 1 is fixedly connected with a driving motor 8, and the inner side of the outside of the support rod 3 is evenly fixedly connected with a plurality of retraction tooth blocks 12, and the traction tooth blocks 10 are meshedly connected with the retraction tooth blocks 12, and the driving end of the driving motor 8 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the bidirectional threaded rod 11, and the outside of the traction tooth blocks 10 are respectively slidably connected to the inner sides of the drone shell 1;
[0025] When the UAV stops working, the driving motor 8 is started to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 11 to rotate. As the external thread of the bidirectional threaded rod 11 contacts the internal thread of the traction tooth block 10, and the external threads on both sides of the bidirectional threaded rod 11 are in opposite directions, the traction tooth block 10 is moved inward at the same time, and the tooth surfaces on both sides of the traction tooth block 10 contact the retraction tooth block 12, thereby rotating the support rod 3, and the support rods 3 on both sides are pulled back at the same time to shrink, thereby reducing the space occupied by the UAV when it is placed, and the placement of the UAV is more flexible.
[0026] Working principle: When the drive shaft 17 rotates, the rotor blades 18 rotate rapidly, and the external air enters through the compartment formed by the top of the upper support ring 4 and the multiple air inlet fins 6, so that the air passes vertically through the inner side of the lower support ring 7 and acts downward, thereby lifting the drone shell 1, and the rotor blades 18 rotate inside the space surrounded by the air inlet fins 6, blocking external debris outside, ensuring the stability of the rotor blades 18 during operation. When the drone stops working, the drive motor 8 is started to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 11 to Rotate, thereby moving the traction tooth block 10 inward at the same time, and the tooth surfaces on both sides of the traction tooth block 10 contact with the retraction tooth block 12, thereby rotating the support rod 3, and the support rods 3 on both sides are pulled back at the same time, thereby shrinking. When too much debris adheres to the outside of the air inlet fin 6, the fixing sleeve 20 is rotated, and the external thread of the drive shaft 17 contacts with the internal thread of the fixing sleeve 20, thereby removing the fixing sleeve 20, pulling out the rotor sleeve 19 downward, and rotating the upper support ring 4, thereby disassembling the air inlet fin 6.
