[0027] 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.

[0028] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1-2 A multi-rotor training drone includes a center plate and a folding mechanism. A protective cover 1 is detachably connected to the top of the center plate 2. A battery compartment 5 is located directly below the center plate 2. Frames 7 are located on both sides of the battery compartment 5 and are fixedly connected to the bottom of the center plate 2. A frame crossbar 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the frame 7. A first folding arm 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the center plate 2. The first folding arm 9 is connected to a second folding arm 10 through the folding mechanism.

[0029] The folding mechanism includes a fixed folding arm 11, a movable folding arm 12, a hinge seat 13, a hinge pin 14, a pin seat 15, a rotating pin 16, a button 17, an elastic element 18, and a folding buckle 19. The fixed folding arm 11 and the movable folding arm 12 are provided with matching hinge seats 13 and are hinged together by hinge pin 14. A pin seat 15 is provided on one side of the hinge seat 13. The pin seat 15 on the fixed folding arm 11 and the folding buckle 19 are hinged together by rotating pin 16. A button 17 is provided on the outside of the pin seat 15 on the movable folding arm 12, and an elastic element 18 is elastically connected on the inside.

[0030] The central plate 2 integrates a control unit to achieve overall control of the drone. The battery compartment 5 provides power to the drone body. When the central plate 2 is damaged and needs repair, the central plate protective cover 1 can be removed to repair the central plate 2. When the first folding arm 9 and the second folding arm 10 are in the unfolded state, the fixed folding arm tube 11 and the movable folding arm tube 12 are rotatably connected by the hinge seat 13 and the hinge pin 14. At this time, the elastic element 18 on the inner side of the pin seat 15 on the movable folding arm tube 12 is in a naturally extended state and abuts against the folding buckle 19. At the same time, the other end of the folding buckle 19 is tightly fastened to the pin seat 15 of the fixed folding arm tube 11 by the rotating pin 16, forming a mechanical lock to ensure the rigidity and stability of the folding arm structure during flight and to avoid accidental folding due to vibration.

[0031] Example 2: Refer to Figure 3 Shock-absorbing cotton 8 is fitted on the frame crossbar 6. The elastic deformation of the shock-absorbing cotton 8 absorbs external impacts such as motor vibration and airflow disturbance during flight, improving the flight stability of the drone in complex airflow environments and reducing the damage of vibration to the folding mechanism. The center plate 2 is equipped with a GPS module 3 and an LED light group 4, which are powered by the battery compartment 5. When using the drone, it can provide real-time location data of the drone and provide lighting for easy operation at night. A flexible cable groove 20 is set at the folding joint of the folding mechanism. A retractable wire 21 is set in the first folding arm 9. When the folding arm is unfolded or folded, the wire can freely extend and retract with the curvature of the cable groove, avoiding the damage caused by excessive stretching or bending of traditional rigid circuits due to folding. The retractable wire 21 uses silicone wire and adopts a helical spring structure, which has both flexibility and tensile strength, ensuring stable circuit signal transmission during folding and solving the pain point of easy damage to the circuit of traditional folding drones.

[0032] Working principle: When the first folding arm 9 and the second folding arm 10 are in the unfolded state, the fixed folding arm cylinder 11 and the movable folding arm cylinder 12 are rotatably connected by the hinge seat 13 and the hinge pin 14. At this time, the elastic element 18 on the inner side of the pin seat 15 on the movable folding arm cylinder 12 is in a naturally extended state and abuts against the folding buckle 19. At the same time, the other end of the folding buckle 19 is tightly fastened to the pin seat 15 of the fixed folding arm cylinder 11 by the rotating pin 16, forming a mechanical lock to ensure the rigidity and stability of the folding arm structure during flight and to avoid accidental folding due to vibration. When the drone needs to be folded, press the button 17 on the movable folding arm cylinder 12. The elastic element 18 overcomes the elastic force and moves inward, releasing the lock on the folding buckle 19. At this time, the fixed folding arm cylinder 11 and the movable folding arm cylinder 12 can rotate freely around the hinge pin 14 to realize the folding arm folding 90° or 180°.

[0033] Flexible cable channels are provided at the folding joints of the first folding arm 9 and the second folding arm 10, with retractable wires integrated inside. When the folding arm is unfolded or folded, the wires can freely extend and retract with the curvature of the cable channel, avoiding damage caused by excessive stretching or bending of traditional rigid circuits due to folding. The retractable wires 21 use silicone wires and adopt a spiral spring structure, which combines flexibility and tensile strength, ensuring stable circuit signal transmission during folding and solving the pain point of easy damage to the circuits of traditional folding drones.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
