[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] The utility model provides a portable vertical take-off and landing UAV, such as Figures 1 to 5 shown.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] A portable vertical take-off and landing UAV includes a body 1, on which wings 3 are mounted through a mounting opening 2 provided on the body 1. A snap-fit ​​assembly is installed on the body 1. When the wings 3 are mounted inside the mounting opening 2, the snap-fit ​​assembly can fix the wings 3 so that the wings 3 and the body 1 are stably connected together. Both ends of the wings 3 are movably snap-fitted with mounting rods 4, which are located on the lower side of the wings 3, and propellers are installed at both ends of the mounting rods 4. When carrying, the wings 3 and the mounting rods 4 can be removed, and the long sides of the wings 3 and the mounting rods 4 can be placed along the length direction of the body 1, thereby reducing the occupied volume and making it easier for users to carry.

[0034] The cam 6 is provided with a plurality of plug-in blocks 5 fixedly connected to the mounting rod 4, and a slot 6 adapted to the plug-in block 5 is provided on the wing 3. One end of the plug-in block 5 located inside the slot 6 is folded toward both sides, and the folded end on the plug-in block 5 is engaged with the slot 7 on the slot wall of the slot 6. In order to facilitate the user's disassembly and assembly, a U-shaped slot 8 is provided at one end of the plug-in block 5 located inside the slot 6, and a spring plate 9 is provided between the two side groove walls of the U-shaped slot 8. The shape of the spring plate 9 is arc-shaped, and the two ends of the spring plate 9 are fixedly connected to the groove walls on both sides of the U-shaped groove 8 respectively. The spring plate 9 has an elastic force that presses the groove walls on both sides of the U-shaped groove 8 in opposite directions. A push rod 10 is fixedly connected to the spring plate 9. The end of the push rod 10 away from the spring plate 9 passes through the mounting rod 4 and is flush with the side of the mounting rod 4 away from the wing 3. When disassembling, it is necessary to apply pressure to the push rod 10 in the direction of the spring plate 9, so that the folded end of the plug-in block 5 is retracted inwardly through the spring plate 9, reducing the spacing, and then it is convenient for the user to perform disassembly and assembly.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] Based on the first embodiment, the clamping assembly may adopt the following structure, specifically as follows:

[0037] The clamping assembly includes a top plate 11, which is installed on the fuselage 1 and fits together with the fuselage 1. A plurality of fixing rods 12 are fixedly installed on the lower side of the top plate 11. The lower end of the fixing rod 12 passes through the fuselage 1 and extends to the sinking groove 13 provided on the inner side of the mounting port 2, and is movably clamped with the bayonet 14 provided on the wing 3. The fixing rod 12 is a stepped shaft, and the upper end of the fixing rod 12 is thin and the lower end is thick. The upper end of the fixing rod 12 is fixedly connected to the top plate 11, and the lower end is movably clamped with the bayonet 14. The diameter of the lower end of the fixing rod 12 is adapted to the inner diameter of the sinking groove 13.

[0038] The intersection of the thin end and the thick end of the fixing rod 12 is stepped, and a spring 15 is connected between this step and the side wall of the bottom of the groove 13. The spring 15 has a pressing force that makes the fixing rod 12 press against the inner wall of the bayonet 14. Under the action of this pressing force, the fixing rod 12 is stably engaged with the bayonet 14.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to reduce the resistance of the top plate 11 during flight, the top plate 11 is configured to fit the body 1 , and the four sides of the top plate 11 are configured to be arc sides, thereby reducing the resistance.

[0040] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the staff to pull the top plate 11, a slide groove 16 is provided on the upper side of the top plate 11, and a spring piece 17 is slidably installed inside the slide groove 16. Both sides of the spring piece 17 are provided with protrusions, and the groove wall of the slide groove 16 is provided with slide rails corresponding to the protrusions. The spring piece 17 will be tightly attached to the bottom side wall of the slide groove 16 under its own elastic force. At the same time, the upper side of the spring piece 17 is flush with the upper side of the top plate 11. When it is necessary to pull the top plate 11, the user can squeeze the two ends of the spring piece 17 toward the middle at the same time, so that the middle of the spring piece 17 bulges, so that the user can pull the top plate 11 conveniently. Further, in order to facilitate the user to push the spring piece 17, friction grooves are provided at both ends of the upper side of the spring piece 17, which increases the friction between the spring piece 17 and the user's fingers, making it convenient for the user to push the spring piece 17.

[0041] The side of the top plate 11 away from the body 1 is an upper side, and the end of the fixing rod 12 away from the top plate 11 is a lower end.

[0042] Plugs are provided on the mounting rod 4 and inside the bayonet 14, and corresponding sockets are provided on the wing 3 and the fixing rod 12. When the mounting rod 4 is installed on the wing 3, the plug on the mounting rod 4 and the socket on the wing 3 are plugged into each other. When the fixing rod 12 and the bayonet 14 are engaged with each other, the plug inside the bayonet 14 will be plugged into the socket of the fixing rod 12, so that the propeller on the mounting rod 4 can be electrically connected to the battery inside the body 1. For better display effect, the plugs on the mounting rod 4 and inside the bayonet 14 and the sockets on the wing 3 and the fixing rod 12 are not shown in the drawings.

[0043] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such modifications and variations.
