The combination of motors 5, propeller suspension 2, drive assembly 3, and propeller 4 provides lift and directional control for the drone. A battery compartment 30 is provided inside the drone frame 1. Battery fixing blocks 11 are slidably connected to the four bottom corners of the battery compartment 30. An electric push rod is provided at the bottom of each battery fixing block 11, which drives the battery fixing block 11 to rise and fall. A first battery 12 is slidably connected inside the battery compartment 30. The battery fixing blocks 11 ensure that the first battery 12 is fixed inside the battery compartment 30 during drone flight. The drone frame 1 has a first housing 13 slidably connected to its bottom. The first housing 13 has slots 22 on its left and right sides.
