Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to an unmanned aerial vehicle with foldable and automatically deployable wings. Background Art
[0002] At present, in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in order to ensure the flight stability and convenient operation of unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles may be designed with longer wings. When the unmanned aerial vehicle is stored, the wings that expand left and right and up and down will occupy a large space. Therefore, at present, it is necessary to fold the wings of the unmanned aerial vehicle for easy storage. The patent 2020114135724 that has been publicly disclosed proposes a folding mechanism for a folding-wing unmanned aerial vehicle, which uses a single torsion spring drive method to achieve folding and unfolding, has a simple structure, is easy to install, occupies less space, has good synchronism, adopts an embedded cylindrical pin design, has a simple structure and reliable locking, and adopts a split structure design. When a problem occurs in the folding mechanism or a certain component of the wing, the problem component can be quickly replaced, greatly saving costs. Therefore, currently, those skilled in the art are all committed to the research and development of unmanned aerial vehicle folding technology. However, the current folding unmanned aerial vehicles have the following deficiencies: 1. The folding mechanism is complex, and the folding is completed through a complex structure, which increases the cost and precision of the product; 2. The assembly difficulty is large. Due to the complex structure, it is difficult to assemble during manufacturing, and assembly problems are likely to occur; 3. The reliability is poor. During storage, due to the large assembly difficulty, assembly problems are likely to occur, further resulting in the folding mechanism being unable to complete the folding work normally.

[0018] As Figures 1-4 shown, this embodiment provides a brand-new design of an unmanned aerial vehicle with foldable and automatically deployable wings. It includes a fuselage 1, on which a left main wing 2 and a right main wing 3 are arranged. The left main wing 2 and the right main wing 3 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the front part of the fuselage 1. On the rear part of the fuselage 1, a left auxiliary wing 4 and a right auxiliary wing 5 are arranged. The left auxiliary wing 4 and the right auxiliary wing 5 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the rear part of the fuselage 1. At the connection between the left main wing 2 and the right main wing 3 and the fuselage 1, a main wing folding mechanism 6 is provided. Taking the main wing folding mechanism 6 as an axis, the left main wing 2 and the right main wing 3 are rotated and folded towards the fuselage 1. At the junction of the left auxiliary wing 4 and the right auxiliary wing 5 and the fuselage 1, an auxiliary wing folding mechanism 7 is provided. Taking the auxiliary wing folding mechanism 7 as an axis, the left auxiliary wing 4 and the right auxiliary wing 5 are rotated and folded towards the fuselage 1. Above the left auxiliary wing 4 and the right auxiliary wing 5, a left tail wing 8 and a right tail wing 9 are arranged. The left tail wing 8 is arranged on the left side of the fuselage 1 through a left tail wing folding structure 10, and the right tail wing 9 is arranged on the right side of the fuselage 1 through a right tail wing folding structure 11. On the upper end of the fuselage 1, a main wing storage groove 12 is provided. The left main wing 2 and the right main wing 3 are retracted and stored in the main wing storage groove 12 under the drive of the main wing folding mechanism 6. At the lower end of the rear part of the fuselage 1, an auxiliary wing storage groove 13 is provided. The left auxiliary wing 4 and the right auxiliary wing 5 are retracted and stored in the auxiliary wing storage groove 13 under the drive of the auxiliary wing folding mechanism 7.
