[0073] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, preferably, the first rotating structure includes a first servo motor 7, a servo motor linkage 11, a servo motor drive gear 8, a first driven helical gear 9, a second driven helical gear 10, a first rotating shaft, and a second rotating shaft;

[0074] The first servo motor 7 is installed inside the housing of the fuselage structure 1, and the output shaft of the first servo motor 7 passes through the housing of the fuselage structure 1 and extends to the upper end of the bottom of the wing storage slot 2.

[0075] One end of the servo linkage 11 is connected to the output shaft of the first servo 7, and the servo drive gear 8 is sleeved on the other end of the servo linkage 11. The servo linkage 11 is driven to rotate through the output shaft of the first servo 7, which in turn drives the servo drive gear 8 to rotate.

[0076] The front ends of the first rotating shaft and the front ends of the second rotating shaft are respectively set on the bottom of the wing storage slot 2 and located on the left and right sides of the servo drive gear 8 via bearings. The length of the first rotating shaft is greater than the length of the second rotating shaft, and the difference in length between the two is at least more than twice the thickness of the wing, to ensure that the two wings can be stacked and stored.

[0077] The first driven helical gear 9 is sleeved in the middle of the first rotating shaft, and the second driven helical gear 10 is sleeved in the middle of the second rotating shaft. The first driven helical gear 9 and the second driven helical gear 10 respectively mesh with the servo drive gear 8. The output shaft of the first servo 7 drives the servo linkage 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the servo drive gear 8 to rotate. The servo drive gear 8 drives the first driven helical gear 9 and the second driven helical gear 10 to rotate simultaneously. The rotation directions of the first driven helical gear 9 and the second driven helical gear 10 are exactly opposite, that is, one rotates clockwise and the other rotates counterclockwise at the same time.

[0078] One end of the left wing 3 is arranged at the rear end of the first rotating shaft through detachable structure, and one end of the right wing 4 is arranged at the rear end of the second rotating shaft through detachable structure. The detachable structure generally adopts screw connection mode, and can also adopt other detachable modes, which can realize the fixing and dismounting of the wing and the upper end of the corresponding rotating shaft.

Since the length of the first rotating shaft is greater than the length of the second rotating shaft, and the length difference between the two is greater than the thickness of the wing, the left wing 3 and the right wing 4 can be overlapped and stored when folded, the storage size is small, the wind resistance is reduced, and so on. When the first driven bevel gear 9 rotates clockwise and the second driven bevel gear 10 rotates counterclockwise, the left wing 3 and the right wing 4 are close to each other to realize storage. When the first driven bevel gear 9 rotates counterclockwise and the second driven bevel gear 10 rotates clockwise, the left wing 3 and the right wing 4 are away from each other to realize unfolding. In addition, the steering engine can control the speed, and the position accuracy is very accurate. The steering engine can convert the voltage signal into torque and speed to drive the control object. The rotor speed of the steering engine is controlled by the input signal and can quickly respond. In the automatic control system, the steering engine is used as an execution element, has small electromechanical time constant and high linearity, and can convert the received electric signal into angular displacement or angular velocity output on the shaft of the electric motor to realize precise control of the rotation angle of the left wing 3 and the right wing 4.

[0080] In the present example, as preferred, the second rotating structure includes a second steering engine. It should be noted that the number of second steering engines is two, which correspond to the two tail wings 6 respectively. The two second steering engines are not shown in the figure and are arranged in a left-right symmetrical manner on the two sides of the lower end of the inner cavity of the shell of the machine body structure 1. The output shaft of the second steering engine penetrates the groove bottom of the corresponding tail wing storage slot 5 and is perpendicular to each other, that is, the output shaft of the second steering engine extends through the shell of the machine body structure 1 to above the groove bottom of the corresponding tail wing storage slot 5. One end of the tail wing 6 is sleeved on the output shaft of the corresponding second steering engine, and the output shaft of the second steering engine is in transmission connection with the corresponding tail wing 6, that is, the rotation of the output shaft of the second steering engine can drive the corresponding tail wing 6 to rotate.

[0081] The two second steering engines are electrically connected with the power battery pack, and are signal connected with the flight control mechanism. The corresponding tail wing 6 can be unfolded and folded by driving the output shaft of the second steering engine to rotate counterclockwise or clockwise along the inclined surface of the corresponding tail wing storage slot 5.

[0083] The reverse propeller motor 10101 is arranged below the central cross seat 10208, and the output shaft of the reverse propeller motor 10101 extends upward through the center of the central cross seat 10208, that is, the center of the central cross seat 10208 is provided with a through hole for the output shaft of the motor to pass through;

[0084] The upper end of the output shaft of the reverse propeller motor 10101 is provided with a reverse propeller hub 10102, and the two ends of the reverse propeller hub 10102 are symmetrically provided with folding reverse propellers 10103. The reverse propeller hub 10102 is driven to rotate by the reverse propeller motor 10101, thereby driving the folding reverse propellers 10103 to rotate and providing power;

[0085] The forward propeller motor 10104 is arranged above the central cross seat 10208, and the output shaft of the forward propeller motor 10104 is a hollow shaft. The output shaft of the forward propeller motor 10104 is sleeved outside the output shaft of the reverse propeller motor 10101 and can freely rotate. By adopting this coaxial mode, the forward propeller motor 10104 and the reverse propeller motor 10101 do not interfere with each other and can freely rotate, thereby reducing the load of the power motor and reducing the weight;

[0086] The output shaft of the forward propeller motor 10104 is provided with a forward propeller hub 10105 below the reverse propeller hub 10102, and the two ends of the forward propeller hub 10105 are symmetrically provided with folding forward propellers 10106.
