[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1-3 This utility model discloses a drone structure, including a drone body 1. Both sides of the drone body 1 are provided with rotor arms 13. The rotor arm 13 is provided with a rotor assembly at the end away from the drone body 1. The drone body 1 includes a front shell 11 and a rear shell 12 arranged opposite each other in a vertical direction.

[0027] Specifically, a battery compartment is provided between the front shell 11 and the rear shell 12, and a battery 16 is detachably connected inside the battery compartment.

[0028] In this embodiment, the battery compartment is located at the bottom of the drone body 1, or it can be located at the top of the drone body 1. The battery 16 is installed from inside the battery compartment, which makes the width of the drone body 1 narrower and the center of gravity is matched very reasonably. This allows the motor 14 of the drone body 1 to be subjected to more even force, and will not cause excessive load on a single motor 14 due to the center of gravity being off-center. The drone body 1 is also balanced when landing.

[0029] Specifically, the rotor assembly includes a motor 14 and blades 141 disposed on the output end of the motor 14.

[0030] In this embodiment, the motor 14 is fixedly nested inside the rotor arm 13. When the motor 14 is started, the output end of the motor 14 drives the blade 141 to rotate. The motor 14 is electrically connected to the PCB circuit board 15.

[0031] Specifically, the number of rotor arms 13 on both sides of the main body 1 of the UAV is no less than two, and the two rotor arms 13 are staggered vertically and horizontally.

[0032] In this embodiment, the rotor arms 13 on both sides of the drone body 1 are inclined and in opposite directions. This design allows the rotor assemblies on both sides of the drone body 1 to extend to the front shell 11 side and the rear shell 12 side of the drone body 1, respectively.

[0033] Specifically, a spring clip 161 is provided on one side of the battery 16, and the battery 16 is movably engaged with the inside of the battery compartment through the spring clip 161.

[0034] In this embodiment, the battery 16 is electrically connected to the PCB circuit board 15. The battery 16 can be removed from the battery compartment by pressing the snap 161 for easy charging.

[0035] Specifically, a PCB circuit board 15 is provided inside the front shell 11, two LED beads 151 are provided on one side of the PCB circuit board 15, and two circular grooves 111 are provided on one side of the front shell 11, with lenses 112 corresponding to the two LED beads 151 respectively provided inside the two circular grooves 111.

[0036] In this implementation plan, the overall shape of the drone body 1 is that of a robot. The lens 112 and the circular groove 111 form the robot's glasses. When the LED bead 151 is lit, it imitates the light emitted by the robot's eyes, making the appearance more realistic. Users can intuitively see the overall shape from the front of the drone body 1, which can safely and perfectly display the image of the drone body 1 to consumers. In the future, the front shell 11 and the rear shell 12 of the drone body 1 can also be made into different shapes, such as "Sun Wukong" or "Minion", which can make the image more realistic. At the same time, since the front shell 11 has a large visible area, the application range will be wider. In addition to making human figures, it can also be made into flat advertisements. A display screen can be added to the front shell 11, which can be used as an advertising drone, etc. This design makes the application prospects of drones very good. In addition to making drones more visually appealing, it also expands the contribution of drones to the social economy.

[0037] Specifically, a battery compartment baffle 17 is provided on one side of the battery 16 to separate the battery 16 from the PCB circuit board 15.

[0038] In this embodiment, the PCB circuit board 15 also integrates a main control chip, an RF chip, a six-axis gyroscope and a barometer located inside the front shell 11 and electrically connected to the PCB circuit board 15. When the drone body 1 is in use, it needs to be used in conjunction with a remote controller.

[0039] Specifically, a button 121 corresponding to the PCB circuit board 15 is provided on one side of the rear cover 12.

[0040] In this embodiment, a switch corresponding to button 121 is integrated on one side of PCB circuit board 15, and the switch can be used by pressing button 121.

[0041] Specifically, a through hole 18 for mounting wheels is provided between the front shell 11 and the rear shell 12.

[0042] In this embodiment, the through hole 18 is used to install the hub 21 assembly for gliding on the ground, increasing the playability of the drone body 1.

[0043] Example 2, please refer to Figure 1-7Compared to the above embodiments, this embodiment also includes a steel pipe 2 that passes through the through hole 18. Both ends of the steel pipe 2 are provided with hubs 21. One side of the hub 21 is arched and hollowed out. The outer side of the hub 21 is covered with a wheel skin 23. Both ends of the steel pipe 2 are also covered with limiting tubes 22 located between the hub 21 and the UAV body 1.

[0044] In this embodiment, the arched, hollowed-out hub 21 can protect the rotor assembly and also enable the drone to glide on the ground. (See reference...) Figure 5 and Figure 6 Four rotor assemblies are located on both sides of the main body 1 of the drone. When the main body 1 of the drone needs to move forward or backward, the rotor assembly located on the front side of the main body 1 idles, while the rotor assembly located on the rear side of the main body 1 accelerates, causing the main body 1 to tilt downward at the front and upward at the rear. At this time, the rotor assembly located on the rear side of the main body 1 will push the main body 1 forward, gliding forward on the ground via the hub 21. (Continue reading...) Figure 6 The rotor located at the front of the drone body 1 is accelerated, while the rotor at the rear of the drone body 1 is idle, causing the drone body 1 to tilt downward at the rear and upward at the front. At this time, the rotor located at the front of the drone body 1 will push the drone body 1 to move backward. When the drone body 1 needs to fly, the rotor components on both sides of the drone body 1 can be accelerated. At the same time, it can also climb along the wall. When the hub 21 is not used, the differential speed of the front and rear rotor components can be adjusted to turn during flight.

[0045] In summary, this drone structure transforms the horizontal observation surface of a traditional flat drone into a vertical viewing interface. This not only results in a highly reasonable center of gravity matching, but also allows users to intuitively identify the shape of the drone body 1 without having to go around to the bottom of the drone body 1. The large display area of ​​the front shell 11, combined with elements such as bionic robots and cartoon IP characters, achieves a three-dimensional aerial image display, making the aircraft itself a visual focus. A display screen can also be added to support dynamic advertising and emoticon interaction, enabling rapid switching between multiple scenarios such as commercial promotion, children's education, and entertainment interaction. This upgrades the drone from a tool to an information carrier. When used with the hub 21, the drone possesses multimodal motion capabilities, including aerial flight, ground gliding, and wall climbing. Compared to the traditional single flight mode, this expands the application scenarios and meets user needs.
