[0021] As shown in Figure 2As shown, the adjusting assembly comprises an angle adjusting motor 9, a worm 10 and a worm gear 11, the angle adjusting motor 9 is installed on the fixed plate 7, the output shaft of the angle adjusting motor 9 is connected with the worm 10, and the worm gear 11 meshing with the worm 10 is installed on the fixed plate 7.
[0022] As shown, the adjusting assembly comprises an angle adjusting motor 9, a worm 10 and a worm gear 11, the angle adjusting motor 9 is installed on the fixed plate 7, the output shaft of the angle adjusting motor 9 is connected with the worm 10, and the worm gear 11 meshing with the worm 10 is installed on the fixed plate 7.

[0023] When the flying device takes off, the driving motor 12 is started to drive the transmission cone 13 connected therewith to rotate, another transmission cone 13 is driven to rotate through the transmission wheel 17, the two transmission cones 13 rotate to drive the connecting rod 6 to reciprocate through the connecting rod 14, and then drive the fixed plate 7 and the bionic wing 8 to swing up and down to simulate the waving of butterfly wings to achieve lift-off. In the process of flight, the angle adjusting motor 9 is started to drive the worm 10 to rotate, the worm gear 11 rotates to drive the fixed plate 7 and the bionic wing 8 to rotate to adjust the angle, so that the bionic wing 8 generates forward or backward thrust when swinging up and down, realizing forward and backward movement.

When the transmission wheel 17 is located between the front sides of the two transmission cones 13, the large end of the right transmission cone 13 contacts with the transmission wheel 17, and the small end of the left transmission cone 13 contacts with the transmission wheel 17. When the driving motor 12 drives the right transmission cone 13 to rotate, the left transmission cone 13 rotates at a speed greater than the right transmission cone 13, and the waving frequency of the left bionic wing 8 is greater than that of the right bionic wing 8, so the right turn can be realized. Similarly, when the transmission wheel 17 is located between the front sides of the two transmission cones 13, the waving frequency of the left bionic wing 8 is less than that of the right bionic wing 8, so the left turn can be realized. The landing gear 1 made of aluminum alloy and the bionic wing 8 made of fiber composite material ensure the light weight and strength of the device.
