Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle wings, in particular to a quick-detachable foldable wing structure for unmanned aerial vehicles. Background Art
[0002] The foldable wing structure of a home drone refers to a design in which the wing part of the drone can be folded or retracted. Through a man-made hinge structure, the wing can be folded up when needed to reduce the volume. When unfolded, the locking mechanism can ensure that the wing remains stable during flight. The entire structure has been precisely designed and tested to ensure that the wing can maintain sufficient strength and stability when folded and unfolded. This design is suitable for outdoor sports, travel photography, emergency rescue and other scenarios, allowing users to carry and use drones more conveniently;

[0021] Two symmetrical solid columns are installed at one end of the T-shaped wing arm 4 close to the square protruding foot 302.

The staff can insert the two solid columns at the rear end of the T-shaped wing arm 4 into the column groove 304 between the support plate 301 and the clamp block 303, and then take out the positioning bolt 305, so that the positioning bolt 305 is screwed into the clamp block 303, the solid column and the square protruding foot 302, so as to fix the T-shaped wing arm 4 and the double-foot quick connector 3 together;
[0022] The quick-release structural design of the double-foot quick connector 3 and the T-shaped wing arm 4 allows the connection between the wing arm and the quick connector to be quickly disassembled and installed, so that it can be carried out more easily;

At this time, the two T-shaped wing arms 4 in the same X-axis direction can be synchronously deflected in opposite directions until the two T-shaped wing arms 4 are in a completely folded, stowed or unfolded state. In this process, the folding action or unfolding action of the T-shaped wing arm 4 is The rotation direction of the servo motor 6 corresponds to that of the servo motor 6, and the servo motor 6 can provide precise force and motion control to drive the swinging, folding or unfolding process of the wing, while the screw bidirectional pushing structure 7 is simple, reliable, and has precise control characteristics, and has a self-locking function, which is suitable for controlling the locking of the folding state of larger-sized wings. Finally, the gear rack deflection structure 8 can convert the rotational motion of the servo motor 6 into the linear deflection motion of the T-shaped wing arm 4, thereby realizing the swinging folding or unfolding of the wing. It does not require manual operation by the user, and realizes rapid response of the wing folding or unfolding process, and can also ensure the structural stability of the wing during the folding or unfolding process to avoid instability or loss of control.
