Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0026] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the folding land-air amphibious inspection robot, as Figure 1 shown, and referring to Figures 2 to 4 , the embodiment of the present application provides a folding land-air amphibious inspection robot, the folding land-air amphibious inspection robot comprises a body 100, a plurality of flight assemblies 200 and a plurality of walking assemblies 300. Four installation grooves 110 are arranged on the body 100; the four installation grooves 110 are symmetrically arranged on the body 100 in pairs, and the installation groove 110 has a lateral opening extending along the length direction thereof.

[0027] The flight assembly 200 comprises flight control connecting rods 210, propeller assemblies 220 and driving motors 230. Each flight control connecting rod 210 is installed in one installation slot 110, one end of the flight control connecting rod 210 is rotationally connected to one end of the installation slot 110, so that the flight control connecting rod 210 has a retracted state in the installation slot 110 and an extended state out of the installation slot 110, and the flight control connecting rod 210 can be embeddedly matched with the installation slot 110. The driving motor 230 is installed at the other end of the flight control connecting rod 210, and the propeller assembly 220 is installed on the driving motor 230. The walking assembly 300 is installed on the machine body 100 and is used to drive the machine body 100 to walk on the ground.

[0028] Specifically, when the unmanned aerial vehicle needs to fly, the flight control connecting rod 210 is in the extended state, and when the unmanned aerial vehicle needs to walk, the flight control connecting rod 210 is in the retracted state. Further, the installation slot 110 is a rectangular slot, the flight control connecting rod 210 is a rectangular rod, and thus the flight control connecting rod 210 can be embeddedly matched with the installation slot 110. The embedded matching of the installation slot 110 and the flight control connecting rod 210 can make the flight control connecting rod 210 entirely located in the machine body 100 when the flight control connecting rod 210 is in the retracted state, thereby preventing the flight assembly 200 from interfering with the operation when the unmanned aerial vehicle walks, increasing the passability of the unmanned aerial vehicle in complex terrain, and at the same time, the embedded arrangement of the flight control connecting rod 210 in the installation slot 110 can make the flight control connecting rod 210 reach a smooth and coplanar effect with the surface of the machine body 100 when the flight control connecting rod 210 is in the retracted state, thereby improving the appearance.

[0029] In some embodiments of the utility model, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 The propeller assembly 220 comprises two blades 221 and a folding mechanism, and the two blades 221 are rotationally installed on the driving motor 230 through the folding mechanism, so that the two blades 221 have an unfolded state and a folded state. Specifically, the two blades 221 can be folded, which can further save the space of the flight control connecting rod 210 in the retracted state and avoid the interference of the blades 221.

[0030] In some embodiments of the utility model, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the folding mechanism comprises a folding plate 222, two folding gears 223, a driving gear 224, a folding motor and a driven gear 226. The folding plate 222 is arranged on the driving motor 230 to rotate under the driving of the driving motor 230, and the two folding gears 223 are rotatably arranged on the two sides of the folding plate 222. Each paddle 221 is mounted on a folding gear 223, and the driving gear 224 and the driven gear 226 are rotatably arranged on the folding plate 222 and located between the two folding gears 223. The driving gear 224, the driven gear 226 and the two folding gears 223 are sequentially engaged with each other, and the folding motor is connected with the driving gear 224.

[0031] Specifically, since the paddle 221 is mounted on the folding gear 223, the folding gear 223 drives the paddle 221 to rotate when rotating. Further, the driving gear 224, the driven gear 226 and the two folding gears 223 are sequentially arranged to be engaged, so that the driven gear 226 and the two folding gears 223 can be sequentially driven to rotate synchronously when the driving gear 224 rotates.

[0032] In some embodiments of the utility model, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the body 100 is provided with an upward protruding structure 130 at both front and rear ends, and a placing plane 120 is formed between the two protruding structures 130. Two installation grooves 110 are symmetrically arranged on one protruding structure 130, and the other end of the installation groove 110 communicates with the placing plane 120. When the flight control connecting rod 210 is in the retracted state and the other end is located in the installation groove 110, the four flight control connecting rods 210 can form the enclosures on both sides of the placing plane 120.

[0033] Specifically, the placing plane 120 is used to carry related detection equipment, the protruding structure 130 can form the front and rear enclosures, and the flight control connecting rod 210 forms the left and right enclosures of the placing plane 120, so that the placing plane 120 has the four enclosures to increase the stability and safety of the detection equipment. Since the stability of the surface of the body 100 in the walking state is poorer than that in the flight state, the setting of the flight control connecting rod 210 forming the enclosure of the placing plane 120 can increase the safety of the related detection equipment in the walking state.

[0034] In some embodiments of the utility model, as shown in Figure 3 As shown, two ventilation holes 140 are arranged on the body 100 and penetrate the body 100 in the front-rear direction. Specifically, the two ventilation holes 140 are symmetrically arranged in the left-right direction. The arrangement of the ventilation holes 140 can reduce the wind resistance during the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the symmetric arrangement of the two ventilation holes 140 can improve the balance during the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0035] In some embodiments of the utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, the walking assembly 300 comprises a first foot pole 310 and a second foot pole 320. One end of the first foot pole 310 is rotatably connected to the body 100, and the first foot pole 310 has a folding space 311 inside. A segment of the second foot pole 320 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first foot pole 310, and the second foot pole 320 can be folded into the folding space 311.

[0036] Specifically, the walking assembly 300 also has a stowed state and an extended state. In the stowed state, the second foot pole 320 is retracted into the folding space 311 of the first foot pole 310, and the first foot pole 310 is retracted to a horizontal state. In the extended state, the second foot pole 320 is extended from the folding space 311 of the first foot pole 310. Further, the second foot pole 320 can be completely folded into the folding space 311, thereby further increasing the aesthetic appearance, reducing the volume of the unmanned aerial vehicle body 100, and increasing the passability of the unmanned aerial vehicle in complex terrain.
