Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to a multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle. Background Technique

[0002] A multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle is an aircraft that uses multiple rotors to provide lift. They are usually composed of multiple motors and rotors. Multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles can take off and land vertically without a runway or other special takeoff conditions. By controlling the rotation speed of different rotors, multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles can hover stably in the air;

[0003] When in use, a multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle usually generates lift by the rotation of the rotors, enabling it to overcome gravity and fly in the air. Each rotor is driven by a motor, and the rotation speed of the motor determines the magnitude of the lift generated by the rotor. During flight, the multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle adjusts its attitude by changing the rotation speed of different rotors;

[0004] Existing multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles are usually stored and moved after work. However, due to the large floor area of multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles when not in use, the rotors are often accidentally impacted or scratched during storage or transportation, which will damage the rotors and thus reduce the service life of the multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle. For this reason, we propose a multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle. Content of the Utility Model
