DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-4 The flight control system of the UAV includes a shell 1, and two rotating seats 2 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the shell 1. A laser radar module 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the shell 1, and a probe lens 12 is fixedly connected to the front of the laser radar module 11. The laser radar module 11 determines the distance by measuring the time difference and phase difference of the laser signal, measures the angle by horizontal rotation scanning, and establishes a two-dimensional polar coordinate system based on these two parameters. Then, the height information in three dimensions is obtained by obtaining signals at different pitch angles. The probe lens 12 plays a protective role to prevent dust from entering.

[0023] The inner wall of each rotating seat 2 is rotatably connected to a support arm 3, and the inner wall of each support arm 3 is rotatably connected to a limiting shell 4. A signal receiver 13 is provided above the outer shell 1, and the bottom surface of the signal receiver 13 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the laser radar module 11. The signal receiver 13 is an electromagnetic signal received by the antenna and sent into the receiver, which is convenient for connection with the ground staff controller.

[0024] The bottom surface of each limiting shell 4 is fixedly connected to a rotating motor 5, and the power output end of each rotating motor 5 passes through the limiting shell 4 and is fixedly connected to the rotor 6. The inner bottom wall of the outer shell 1 is fixedly connected to the control mainboard 14, and the inner wall of the outer shell 1 is clamped with a battery 15. The control mainboard 14 is the core component of the drone, and its function is to calculate and convey instructions. The battery 15 provides power for the drone.

[0025] The outer surface of each support arm 3 is fixedly connected to a mounting bracket 7, and the inner wall of each mounting bracket 7 is rotatably connected to an electric telescopic rod 8. Four hinged seats 16 are provided under the outer shell 1, and the upper surface of each hinged seat 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the outer shell 1. The hinged seat 16 is used to clamp the support leg 17, which facilitates disassembly and storage.

[0026] The telescopic end of each electric telescopic rod 8 is fixedly connected to the first rotating plate 10, the outer surface of each limit shell 4 is fixedly connected to the second rotating plate 9, the outer surface of each first rotating plate 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the second rotating plate 9, the inner wall of each articulated seat 16 is movably hinged with a support leg 17, and each support leg 17 is fixedly connected to a silicone ball 18 at one end away from the articulated seat 16. The four support legs 17 support the drone, and the silicone ball 18 can be used to cushion the impact of landing.

[0027] A camera 19 is provided below the housing 1 , and the upper surface of the camera 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the housing 1 . The camera 19 is an existing structure of the UAV, which is convenient for recording images of the flight path and completing corresponding tasks.

[0028] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: when in use, the rotating motor 5 is first electrically connected to the battery 15 through a wire, and then the rotating seat 2 is used to be installed on the outer surface of the shell 1, and a support arm 3 is installed inside each rotating seat 2. The limit shell 4 is rotatably connected to the support arm 3, and the power provided by the rotating motor 5 is used to drive the rotor 6 to rotate, which can provide the drone with rising wind force to achieve the take-off effect. If the drone detects a strong wind using the built-in wind sensor at this time, the drone is affected by the wind and shakes. At this time, the mounting bracket 7 is installed on the support arm 3 with stability and will not be affected by the wind. At this time, the control main board 14 issues an adjustment instruction according to the detection of the wind sensor, and the electric telescopic rod 8 is extended or retracted to drive the first rotating plate 10. The first rotating plate 10 and the second rotating plate 9 are rotatably connected, so that the limit shell 4 as a whole can rotate with the center of the support arm 3 as the axis. At this time, the limit shell 4 as a whole will produce a deflection, and the direction of the thrust of one or more rotors 6 is changed to achieve the purpose of stabilizing the drone.
