[0037] As Figures 1-7As shown, the utility model embodiment provides a kind of automatic folding oar device 10, including two folding oar stop lever 11, fixed seat 12 and drive device 13, drive device 13 is placed on fixed seat 12, folding oar stop lever 11 includes folding oar stop lever head 111, folding oar stop lever middle part 112, folding oar stop lever tail 113, input hole is equipped on folding oar stop lever tail 113, the output shaft of drive device 13 is connected with folding oar stop lever 11 through input hole and drives folding oar stop lever to rotate.The structure is simple, low in cost, and two folding oar stop levers are driven by drive device such as motor, and two folding oar stop levers swing in horizontal and vertical interval.When unmanned aerial vehicle 20 lands, two folding oar stop levers 11 are rotated from horizontal position to the angle set, and after unmanned aerial vehicle oar 21 is rotated and collides with two folding oar stop levers 11, it moves in opposite direction, and by setting the motor of unmanned aerial vehicle oar, unmanned aerial vehicle oar is contacted with the other side of two folding oar stop levers after being completed folding oar.The folding oar work of a pair of folding oar is completed by one folding oar stop lever, and the folding oar work of two pairs of folding oar is completed by a set of folding oar device, and four pairs of folding oar are completed by two sets of folding oar device.The automatic folding oar device structure is simple, and the body is low, and drive device only needs to drive folding oar stop lever to specific angle, without complex control logic, and the problem of unmanned aerial vehicle oar automatic folding is solved using simple control mode.
[0038] As Figure 2 As shown, two folding oar stop levers are respectively active folding oar stop lever 11' and driven folding oar stop lever 11'', and the tail ends of active folding oar stop lever and driven folding oar stop lever are respectively provided with folding oar stop lever gear 116, and the active folding oar stop lever and the driven folding oar stop lever are engaged and driven through folding oar stop lever gear 116, the drive device drives the active folding oar stop lever to rotate, and the driven folding oar stop lever is driven to rotate through the active folding oar stop lever.The drive device drives the active folding oar stop lever to swing in horizontal and vertical interval, and the active folding oar stop lever drives the driven folding oar stop lever to move symmetrically with the active folding oar stop lever through the tooth engagement between the active folding oar stop lever and the driven folding oar stop lever.One folding oar stop lever device and one drive device complete the folding of two pairs of oars simultaneously, which reduces the number of folding oar devices and drive devices, and reduces the time and cost of unmanned aerial vehicle oar folding.
[0039] As Figure 2 As shown, gear 114 is arranged in the input hole on the tail of the active folding oar stop lever, the output shaft of the drive device is engaged with the input hole, and the input hole on the tail of the driven folding oar stop lever is a through hole 115 connected with the fixed seat 12 by rivets.
