[0036] The lower cover 22 is provided with a connecting hole 221, which is arranged corresponding to the clearance hole 111, and the length of the connecting hole 221 is smaller than the length of the clearance hole 111. The connecting hole 221 is used to connect with the lifting device 30, so that the lifting device 30 can be started to drive the lifting box 20 to move up and down in the accommodating cavity 110.
[0037] In this embodiment, the lower cover 22 is further provided with a guide block 222, a wiring hole 223 and a receiving groove 224. The guide block 222 is moved and inserted into the guide hole 112 one by one, and the two cooperate to guide and limit the lifting box 20 from rotating during the movement. The wiring hole 223 is arranged corresponding to the through hole 113, and the two cooperate to connect the lifting box 20 and the inside of the body 10 to realize the layout of the conductive wire. The receiving groove 224 is sunken and arranged on the bottom wall of the lifting box 20. The receiving groove 224 is arranged corresponding to the positioning groove 114, and the receiving groove 224 can be accommodated in the positioning groove 114. It can be understood that the receiving groove 224 is connected to the connecting hole 221 and the two are arranged in the vertical direction. The bottom wall of the receiving groove 224 and the hole wall of the connecting hole 221 are respectively connected to the swing arm of the lifting device 30 in a contactable manner, so as to contact the swing arm and be driven to move up or down during the swing of the swing arm of the lifting device 30.

[0039] The lifting device 30 is fixed outside the accommodating chamber 110, and includes a steering gear 31 and a swing arm 32. The steering gear 31 is used to control the swing arm 32 to swing back and forth by a certain amplitude. It can be understood that the steering gear 31 includes a motor 311 and a gear set 312, and the gear set 312 is transmission-connected between the motor 311 and the swing arm 32, and the gear set 312 is used to drive the swing arm 32 to swing at a reduced speed.
[0040] In this embodiment, the gear set 312 includes a first gear 3121, a second gear 3122, a third gear 3123, a fourth gear 3124, a fifth gear 3125 and a sixth gear 3126 that are meshed and connected in sequence. Among them, the first gear 3121 is fixed to the rotating shaft of the motor 311, the second gear 3122, the third gear 3123, the fourth gear 3124 and the fifth gear 3125 are all double gears, the third gear 3123 is coaxially connected to the fifth gear 3125, the fourth gear 3124 is coaxially connected to the sixth gear 3126, and the sixth gear 3126 is fixed to the swing arm 32. In other embodiments of the utility model, the gear set 312 can also be set to other gear meshing structures that achieve the same or similar effects.
[0041] The swing arm 32 movably passes through the relief hole 111 and is connected to the connection hole 221. The swing arm 32 is reciprocally swung under the control of the servo 31 to drive the lifting box 20 to move up and down. As Figure 8 shown, when the swing arm 32 swings upward, the swing arm 32 abuts against the hole wall of the connection hole 221 to push the lifting box 20 to move upward therewith, so that the lifting box 20 can move out of the accommodating cavity 110. As Figure 7 shown, when the swing arm 32 swings downward, the swing arm 32 gradually rotates to abut against the receiving groove 224 to push the lifting box 20 to move downward therewith, so that the lifting box 20 can move and be received in the accommodating cavity 110.
[0042] The positioning device 40 is used to provide positioning information of the aircraft.

[0044] The number of the rotors 60 is four. The four rotors 60 are arranged on both sides of the airframe 10 in a staggered manner in pairs, and are used to realize the flight function of the aircraft. In this embodiment, each rotor 60 includes a rotor main body 61 and an anti-collision guardrail 62. The rotor main body 61 is rotatably connected to the lower housing 12, and flight wings are arranged thereon. The flight wings are used to rotate and drive the airframe 10 to fly. A support leg 611 is also provided on the rotor main body 61, and the airframe 10 can be suspended on a plane to reduce the probability of being damaged by touching. Fixing holes 621 and flip covers 622 are provided on the anti-collision guardrail 62. The support leg 611 can be passed through the fixing holes 621, and the flip covers 622 can be detachably connected to the rotor main body 61.
[0045] It can be understood that the above settings of the anti-collision guardrail 62 facilitate the detachable connection with the rotor main body 61. When it is necessary to install the anti-collision guardrail 62 on the rotor main body 61, the fixing hole 621 is sleeved on the support leg 611. At this time, the opening of the flip cover buckle 622 faces the rotor main body 61 directly. By flipping and buckling the flip cover buckle 622, the anti-collision guardrail 62 can be fixed on the rotor main body 61. Operating the above process in reverse can detach the anti-collision guardrail 62 from the rotor main body 61. In other embodiments of the present invention, the rotor 60 may also only include the rotor main body 61.
