Description

[0002] With the continuous development of unmanned aerial vehicle technology, the flight performance and task capability of unmanned aerial vehicle are more and more concerned. Among them, the coaxial double-blade unmanned aerial vehicle is widely used in aerial photography, logistics distribution, geological survey, rescue and other fields due to its stability and accuracy. The coaxial double-blade helicopter has two main rotors sharing one rotating shaft. Through the reverse rotation of the two main rotors, the counter-torque is offset. However, a complex pitch mechanism is still needed to adjust the pitch of the propeller and the disc plane, so as to adjust the flight attitude and flight direction. The traditional coaxial double-blade unmanned aerial vehicle still has certain limitations and challenges when facing complex flight environment and task requirements. For example, the operation maneuverability and rapid response capability in narrow space need to be improved, and the flexibility and accuracy of flight action need to be further optimized.

Therefore, it is usually difficult to realize miniaturization. Multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles need multiple rotors to cooperate, and the distance (axle distance) between each rotor cannot be too small. Helicopters need to rely on complex pitch mechanisms to realize pitch control, which increases the weight and moment of inertia of the whole machine. In addition, the complex pitch mechanism also increases the failure rate. SUMMARY
