[0022] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation descriptions involved, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, so it cannot be understood as a limitation to the present utility model.
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: an unfolding mechanism for a folding wing of a drone, including a box body 1 and a storage component. The left wing 4 and the right wing 5 are arranged on both sides of the box body 1. The storage component is arranged on the box body 1. The storage component includes a toothed plate 6, a connecting plate 7, an electric push rod 9 and a gear 10. Gears 10 are meshed and installed on both sides of the toothed plate 6. A connecting plate 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the toothed plate 6. The free end of the electric push rod 9 is fixedly installed with the rear side of the connecting plate 7.
[0024] Furthermore, two groups of rotating columns 2 are rotatably installed at the inner top of the box body 1 and are symmetrically distributed. A U-shaped plate 3 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating column 2.
[0025] Still further, one side of the left wing 4 and the right wing 5 are respectively fixedly installed with one side of two groups of U-shaped plates 3.
[0026] Furthermore, the storage component further includes a fixing plate 8. The fixing plate 8 is fixedly installed at the inner bottom of the box body 1. The rear end of the electric push rod 9 is fixedly installed on the front side of the fixing plate 8. The gear 10 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating column 2. When it is necessary to retract the left wing 4 and the right wing 5 on both sides, the electric push rod 9 is started. By controlling the telescopic movement of the electric push rod 9, the connecting plate 7 is pushed forward, so that the connecting plate 7 drives the toothed plate 6 to move, thereby driving the gears 10 on both sides of the toothed plate 6 to rotate, so that the rotation of the gear 10 drives the U-shaped plate 3 on the rotating column 2 to rotate, thereby driving the left wing 4 and the right wing 5 on the U-shaped plate 3 to rotate and be retracted into the box body 1. The wings on both sides of the drone can be stored and folded. After the wings are folded, the overall size of the drone is greatly reduced, which is convenient for transportation and storage. The drone can be easily loaded on a transport vehicle or a compact storage space, improving its mobility and deployment efficiency. At the same time, the risk of collision and damage during ground operation and storage can be reduced. The folding wing design enables the drone to flexibly respond to various mission requirements. In different mission scenarios, drones with different wing deployment states are required. This design can quickly realize the deployment and storage of the wings, improving the adaptability and versatility of the drone.
[0027] Most further, a vertical plate 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the toothed plate 6. A chute is opened at the inner bottom of the box body 1. A connecting block 12 is slidably installed in the chute. The top of the connecting block 12 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the vertical plate 11, and its setting plays an auxiliary supporting role in the movement of the toothed plate 6.
[0028] Secondly, the left wing 4 and the right wing 5 are distributed left and right.
[0029] Working principle: When in use, when it is necessary to retract the left wing 4 and the right wing 5 on both sides, the electric push rod 9 is started. By controlling the telescopic movement of the electric push rod 9, the connecting plate 7 is pushed forward, so that the connecting plate 7 drives the toothed plate 6 to move, thereby driving the gears 10 on both sides of the toothed plate 6 to rotate, so that the rotation of the gear 10 drives the U-shaped plate 3 on the rotating column 2 to rotate, thereby driving the left wing 4 and the right wing 5 on the U-shaped plate 3 to rotate and be retracted into the box body 1.
[0030] The above has described the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those of ordinary skill in the art in the technical field, various changes can be made without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
