Specifically, the embodiment of the application can protect the blade assembly 2 through the protection assembly 3, reduce the damage degree of the blade when the unmanned aerial vehicle collides, and reduce the damage degree of the unmanned aerial vehicle to the surrounding people.

[0024] Specifically, the unmanned aerial vehicle of the embodiment of the application is a four-wing unmanned aerial vehicle, four power arms 4 are arranged at equal intervals around the central frame, one end of each power arm 4 is connected with the central frame, and the other end of each power arm 4 is connected with a group of blade assemblies 2.

[0025] Further, the fuselage 1 comprises an upper plate 11 and a bottom plate 12 arranged at intervals, screw holes are arranged on the bottom plate 12 to realize the connection between the bottom plate 12 and the blade protection fence 31 after the screw is installed into the screw hole, preferably, the bottom plate 12 and the blade protection fence 31 are connected through six groups of screw holes, wherein two groups of screw holes are located at the head of the bottom central frame, two groups of screw holes are located at the tail of the bottom central frame, and four groups of screw holes are located on the central frame of the bottom plate 12. Such screw holes are convenient for carrying different sizes of flight control boards on the unmanned aerial vehicle during flight training of the unmanned aerial vehicle. Further, six groups of screw holes are arranged on the upper plate 11, the six groups of screw holes on the upper plate 11 are symmetrically arranged with the six groups of screw holes on the bottom plate 12, so that the balance of the entire fuselage 1 is ensured while the aesthetics of the entire fuselage 1 is increased. Further, the unmanned aerial vehicle can be easily and detachably maintained by a maintenance personnel through the screw holes. A plurality of hollow structures 14 are arranged on the upper plate 11, and a plurality of heat dissipation holes 15 are arranged on the bottom plate 12, so that the fuselage 1 is heat-dissipated, and the arrangement of the hollow structures 14 and the heat dissipation holes 15 can reduce the overall weight of the fuselage 1.

[0026] Further, the central frame 13 comprises a top central frame located on the upper plate 11 and a bottom central frame located on the bottom plate 12, a battery module is further installed on the top central frame, and a PCB board 9 is further installed on the bottom central frame.

[0027] Further, the paddle assembly 2 comprises a paddle 21, a motor 22, a paddle clamp 23 and a mounting base 24, the paddle 21 is connected with the paddle clamp 23, the paddle clamp 23 is sleeved on the motor 22 shaft of the motor 22, and the motor 22 is installed on the protection assembly 3 through the mounting base 24. When the unmanned aerial vehicle runs, the motor 22 rotates to drive the paddle 21 to rotate, thereby providing flight power for the unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0028] Further, the target side of the paddle protection fence 31 is attached with an anti-collision layer 33, and the target side is the peripheral surface of the paddle protection fence 31 away from the fuselage 1. Preferably, the paddle protection fence 31 can be made of plastic material, which can reduce the overall weight of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The anti-collision layer 33 can be made of sponge material or rubber material. It can be understood that the paddle 21 is protected in the protection fence, and when the unmanned aerial vehicle collides, the paddle protection fence 31 can protect the paddle 21, reduce the direct collision between the paddle 21 and the impact object, and thereby reduce the damage degree of the paddle 21. Further, the anti-collision layer 33 is attached to the outside of the paddle protection fence 31, which can further protect the paddle 21 and protect the surrounding people when the unmanned aerial vehicle collides with the surrounding people, thereby reducing the harm degree of the unmanned aerial vehicle to the surrounding people.

[0029] In an implementable scheme, the peripheral side plate 34 of the paddle protection fence 31 is provided with a gap 35, so that the gap 35 is designed between the peripheral side plate 34 of the paddle protection fence 31 and the paddle protection frame 32.

[0030] In an implementable scheme, the paddle protection frame 32 is in a mesh structure. Specifically, the paddle protection frame 32 is arranged in a mesh structure, which can reduce the overall weight of the paddle protection frame 32 compared with the overall solid paddle protection frame 32. In addition, the hollow structure 14 in the mesh structure can facilitate heat dissipation of the motor 22, and the mesh structure can also be used as a reinforcing rib to increase the rigidity of the paddle protection frame 32.

The perspective of such a camera is the same as that of the pilot or operator, and can present a very realistic picture effect. The FPV camera 5 is usually equipped with a high-definition lens and a high-frame-rate sensor, and can capture high-definition video pictures. The FPV camera 5 is based on camera and image processing technology, and can capture corresponding pictures as the aircraft moves when the unmanned aerial vehicle is running.

By carrying the FPV camera 5 and the optical flow sensor, the clarity of the captured pictures of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be improved. In an example, an SD card (memory card) is also carried on the FPV camera 5 to record each flight process of the unmanned aerial vehicle, including flight training. Further, the optical flow sensor is arranged close to the bottom plate 12, and the bottom plate 12 is provided with an optical flow sensing through hole 6 located below the optical flow sensor. The aperture of the optical flow sensing through hole 6 is larger than the peripheral size of the optical flow sensor.

By arranging the receiving box 8 on the upper plate 11, the signals in the surrounding environment can be focused on the receiver, reducing the interference from other environments and wireless devices, and increasing the positioning accuracy and performance of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0034] Further, the tail fin 7 further comprises an antenna through hole 72 for passing through the antenna of the receiver. Such a design makes the antenna of the receiver independent of other signal lines inside the fuselage 1, reducing signal interference.

[0035] The unmanned aerial vehicle structure with the paddle protection function of the application comprises a fuselage 1, a paddle assembly 2 and a protection assembly 3, the fuselage 1 comprises a central frame 13, a plurality of power arms 4 are arranged at equal intervals around the central frame, one end of the power arm 4 is connected with the central frame, the other end of the power arm 4 is connected with the paddle assembly 2, the paddle assembly 2 is surrounded in the protection assembly 3, the protection assembly 3 is connected with the fuselage 1, the protection assembly 3 comprises a paddle protection fence 31 and a paddle protection frame 32, the paddle protection fence 31 surrounds the outside of the paddle assembly 2, the paddle protection frame 32 is arranged at the bottom of the paddle protection fence 31, the protection assembly is connected with the fuselage 1 through the paddle protection fence 31, and the paddle assembly 2 is installed on the paddle protection frame 32.
