Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to a bionic spherical structure unmanned aerial vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Bionic drones are drones whose design is inspired by creatures in nature. These drones usually imitate the flight and behavioral characteristics of birds, insects or other animals to improve their performance in specific environments. Bionic drones have potential application value in many fields, such as environmental monitoring, search and rescue, agriculture, geological exploration, etc. Bird bionic drones imitate the flight characteristics of birds, such as gliding, hovering and rapid turning, etc. They usually have high stability and maneuverability and are suitable for performing tasks in complex environments. Insect bionic drones imitate the flight and behavioral characteristics of insects, such as bees and butterflies. They usually have strong environmental adaptability, can fly flexibly in narrow spaces, and can achieve hovering, inverted flight and other actions.

[0003] The existing bionic UAVs are relatively complex in structure and expensive in cost. Some bionic UAVs are equipped with protective spherical covers. However, the existing protective spherical covers are relatively closed in structure, which can easily affect the flight of the UAV. In addition, the installation of the existing protective spherical covers is relatively complex and not strong enough. After being hit, they may fall apart, resulting in the inability to protect the UAV. The existing bionic UAVs have no buffer when landing, which may reduce the service life of the UAV. Therefore, a bionic spherical structure UAV is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
