A servo motor fixing plate 12 is provided between the upper plate 1 and the base plate 8. The curved arm 11 is rotatably mounted inside the servo motor fixing plate 12. A forearm link 18 is installed inside the lower end of the curved arm 11, and a small arm link 18 is installed inside the upper end of the curved arm 11. A boom link 19 is rotatably mounted, and a linkage seat 20 is rotatably mounted between the arm link 18 and the boom link 19. Each linkage seat 20 has a support foot 4 at its lower end. One end of the servo mounting plate 12 is provided with a small linkage servo 13 whose output end is connected to the inside of the upper end of the crank arm 11. The other end of the servo mounting plate 12 opposite to the small linkage servo 13 is provided with a large linkage servo 17 whose output end is connected to the inner wall of the boom link 19. The output end of the rotary servo 6 is connected to the upper end of the servo mounting plate 12.

[0026] A battery plate 9 is provided at the lower end of the base plate 8, and a storage cavity is provided between the base plate 8 and the upper plate 1.

[0027] A pod 10 is provided at the front end of the upper plate 1;

[0028] The upper end of the battery plate 9 is provided with six sets of lower rotating seats 16, and the lower end of the base plate 8 is provided with six sets of upper rotating seats 15 corresponding to the lower rotating seats 16. The servo mounting plate 12 is rotatably installed inside the upper rotating seats 15 and the lower rotating seats 16.

[0029] The support leg 4 includes three sets of odd-numbered legs 401 and three sets of even-numbered legs 402. The odd-numbered legs 401 are located at the two left corners and the center of the right side below the base plate 8, and the even-numbered legs 402 are located at the center of the left side and the two right corners below the base plate 8.

[0030] The outer wall of the servo mounting plate 12 is provided with a housing 14 that is sleeved on the outside of the small linkage servo 13, and the outer wall of the servo mounting plate 12 is provided with a housing 21 that is sleeved on the outside of the large linkage servo 17.

[0031] Arms 2 are installed at the four corners of the upper end of the upper plate 1. A flight servo 3 is installed on one side of the upper end of the arm 2. A propeller 7 is installed at the output end of the flight servo 3.

[0032] The lower end of the support leg 4 is fitted with a wear-resistant sleeve 5;

[0033] Based on the implementation steps of Example 1: The three sets of odd-numbered feet 401 at the left two corners and right center and the three sets of even-numbered feet 402 at the left center and right two corners are lifted and landed in a time-sharing manner. Through the coordinated control of the large linkage servo motor 17 and the small linkage servo motor 13, the triangular gait of insects is simulated to achieve stable walking. The servo motor fixing plate 12 is driven to rotate by the six sets of rotating servo motors 6, which link the curved arm 11, the large and small arm linkages 18, the small arm linkage 18 and the linkage seat 20 to form a multi-degree-of-freedom kinematic chain. The arms 2 at the four corners of the upper plate 1 are deployed. The flight servo motor 3 drives the propeller 7 to generate lift. The rotor differential speed control is used to achieve aerial turning and hovering. Combined with the real-time feedback of environmental data from the sensors and cameras of the pod 10, it can adapt to complex airspace missions. The six sets of rotating servo motors 6 are evenly distributed on the base plate 8. The driving force is distributed to each support foot 4 through the servo motor fixing plate 12 to avoid single-point load overload.

[0034] The linkage seat 20, together with the large and small arm linkages 18 and the forearm linkage 18, forms a "lever amplification" effect, converting the servo motor output torque into greater support force and improving the single-leg load-bearing capacity. The battery panel 9 and the storage cavity are designed in layers, with the battery concentrated in the lower part to lower the center of gravity. The storage cavity is used to carry mission equipment. Flight and walking modes are powered in a time-sharing manner, and the circuit switches to prioritize the energy distribution of the current movement mode. In walking mode, the multi-leg structure adapts to rugged terrain; in flight mode, it quickly crosses obstacles. The multi-link mechanism amplifies the servo motor torque and improves the load-bearing capacity. Walking mode is used for short-distance heavy loads with low energy consumption, while flight mode is used for long-distance light loads or obstacle crossings, extending the overall range. Through multi-link mechanical gain and distributed drive, the load output per unit motor power is significantly improved, solving the problems of high energy consumption and low load capacity.
