Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of patrol drone technology, specifically a patrol drone with a protective structure. Background Technology

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and their own program control devices, or operated autonomously, either completely or intermittently, by an onboard computer. Compared to manned aircraft, UAVs are often better suited for tasks that are too "dull, dirty, or dangerous." UAVs can be categorized into military and civilian applications based on their usage.

[0003] When patrol drones are in use, their single airframe structure provides insufficient protection for the propellers, leading to damage when they come into contact with external objects. In some drones with protective net structures, the obstacle avoidance and ranging mechanisms are integrated inside the airframe, resulting in limitations in ranging and blind spots, thus making the protection incomplete. Utility Model Content
