In this specification, the size ratios in the drawings do not represent the actual size ratios, but are only used to reflect the relative position relationship and connection relationship between the components. Components with the same name or the same number represent similar or identical structures and are only for illustrative purposes.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a folding arm structure of an unmanned aerial vehicle comprises a fuselage fixed end 1, a sliding handle 2, an aluminum alloy rotating shaft 3, an aluminum alloy fixed connecting rod 4, an arm rotating end 5, a fixed stop rod 6, an arm clamping block 7, an arm 8, a spring 9, a hexagonal head bolt 10, a nut 11, and a slide groove 12. The fuselage fixed end 1 is provided with two identical threaded holes 13 at the upper and lower sides, a slide groove 12 is provided on the right side of the fuselage fixed end, a sliding handle 2 parallel to the aluminum alloy fixed connecting rod is installed on the upper limit of the slide groove 12, a spring 9 is provided in the middle of the aluminum alloy fixed connecting rod 4, one end of the spring 9 is placed in the mounting groove of the aluminum alloy fixed connecting rod 4, and the other end is placed in the mounting groove of the sliding handle 2, the aluminum alloy rotating shaft 3 passes through the fuselage fixed end 1 and the arm rotating end 5, the arm 8 passes through the arm rotating end 5 through the hexagonal head bolt 10, and the arm clamping block 7 cooperates with the nut 11 to clamp the arm 8.
[0029] Preferably, the aluminum alloy rotating shaft 3 passes through the fixed end 1 of the fuselage and the rotating end 5 of the arm. Preferably, the sliding handle 2 cooperates with the slide groove 12 on the fixed end 1 of the fuselage; preferably, the fixed stopper 6 passes through the fixed end 1 of the fuselage; preferably, the lower side of the rotating end 5 of the arm has a groove; preferably, the side of the arm clamping block 7 has two round holes. The bolt passes through the rotating end 5 of the arm and cooperates with the arm clamping block 7 and the nut to clamp the arm 8; preferably, the sliding handle 2 has a pressing part 14 to increase the friction with the hand and facilitate lifting and resetting; preferably, the left side of the fixed end 1 of the fuselage is arc-shaped; preferably, the aluminum alloy fixed connecting rod 4 passes through the fixed end 1 of the fuselage; preferably, the rotating end 5 of the arm, the clamping block 7, and the arm 8 are made of carbon fiber composite materials, which reduces the weight of the folding arm and reduces the load of the drone.
[0030] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the utility model connects the fixed end 1 of the fuselage to the fuselage by screws and the threaded holes 13 which are the same above and below the fixed end 1 of the fuselage. The clamping block 7 of the arm is connected to the end of the arm 8, and the hexagonal bolt 10 penetrates the rotating end 5 of the arm and the clamping block 7 on both sides of the arm 8 and cooperates with the nut 11 to apply force to the end of the arm 8 to fix the arm 8. When the arm 8 is extended, the spring 9 applies a pulling force to the sliding handle 2, so that the sliding handle 2 is directly above the bayonet of the rotating end 5 of the arm. At the same time, the fixed stopper 6 is above the right side of the fixed end 1 of the fuselage to prevent the arm 8 from rotating counterclockwise. At this time, the arm 8 is in an extended state. When the arm 8 is folded, a force is applied to lift the sliding handle 2 along the slide groove, and the rotating end 5 of the arm is rotated 90° clockwise around the aluminum alloy rotating axis 3, and the sliding handle 2 is reset, so that the groove on the lower side of the rotating end 5 of the arm cooperates with the sliding handle 2 to prevent the rotating end 5 of the arm from moving during transportation. At this time, the arm is in a folded state.
