[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this utility model provides a flexible organic solar multi-rotor drone, including a frame, a multi-rotor power mechanism and a flexible organic solar module 4.

[0034] In some embodiments, the frame adopts an "X" shape or other centrally radial frame form to facilitate the mounting of rotors at the free ends of the arms. The frame material can be carbon fiber or aluminum alloy, balancing lightweight and strength.

[0035] In some embodiments, the frame includes a fuselage 1 and at least four arms 2, such as four X-shaped arms in a quadcopter drone. The arms 2 extend outward at uniform intervals around the fuselage 1 in the circumferential direction. The arms 2 can be folding or fixed arms according to specific application requirements to meet the performance requirements of arms in various scenarios.

[0036] In some embodiments, the multi-rotor power mechanism is installed inside the frame. Specifically, the multi-rotor power mechanism includes at least four rotors 3 driven by a power drive mechanism. The rotors 3 are mounted on the free end of the arm 2 and are driven by the power drive mechanism. The rotors 3 are typically two-bladed or three-bladed propellers; in this embodiment, a two-bladed propeller structure is preferred.

[0037] In some embodiments, the power drive mechanism includes a motor, an electronic speed controller (ESC), etc. The motor drives the propeller to rotate and generate lift, while the ESC controls the motor speed. For example, the kV value of a brushless motor determines its speed; for instance, 2300 kV is suitable for small models. The ESC supports the BLheli protocol, and its current must be matched to the motor; for example, a 30A ESC is used with a 2205 motor. This embodiment of the invention does not improve or innovate the power drive mechanism; existing conventional rotor drive system equipment is sufficient.

[0038] In this embodiment, the multi-rotor power mechanism may further include at least one set of batteries disposed within the fuselage 1, which are connected to the power drive mechanism to ensure the power needs of the drone. The batteries, as the main power source for the multi-rotor drone, can be combined with flexible organic solar panels to better suit various scenarios and endurance requirements.

[0039] In this embodiment, the multi-rotor drone can be a quadcopter, hexacopter, octacopter, etc. The main structure of each drone is similar, with the only difference being the design of the arms and rotors. At least one flexible organic solar panel 4 can be detachably installed on the fuselage.

[0040] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The flexible organic solar module 4 is detachable and extendable and foldable, and is located on the upper surface of the middle part of the frame.

[0041] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the frame is provided with a conical umbrella-shaped support platform that matches the flexible organic solar panel 4. The tilt angle of the support platform is preferably 5 to 10 degrees; an excessively large angle may affect sunlight collection during flight. The flexible organic solar panel 4 can be matched to the shape and size of the support platform, and can also be disassembled and replaced with a flexible organic solar panel 4 of a matching size according to different drone models. In addition, by disassembling the flexible organic solar panel 4, the overall weight of the drone can be reduced when auxiliary power supply is not required, providing high flexibility in disassembly and assembly.

[0042] In this embodiment, the flexible organic solar panel 4 is connected to a battery and / or a power drive mechanism. This connection allows for both charging the battery and providing auxiliary power to the power drive mechanism, thereby improving the endurance of the multi-rotor drone.

[0043] In this embodiment, the flexible organic solar module 4 includes an organic solar film 5 and an umbrella-shaped folding frame 6, with the organic solar film 5 fixedly mounted on the folding frame 6. The organic solar film 5 can be folded and unfolded with the support of the folding frame 6.

[0044] In some embodiments, the organic solar film 5 may adopt a planar shape structure such as a circle or a polygon.

[0045] Organic solar film 5 can be made of ultralight gallium arsenide thin film solar cells, flexible quasi-two-dimensional perovskite solar cells, organic photovoltaic (OPV) films or ultrathin peroxide solar cells, all of which have the characteristics of being lightweight, flexible and having stable energy harvesting, making them very suitable for multi-rotor drones.

[0046] like Figure 6As shown, a sleeve 14 is hinged at the center of the folding frame 6, and the sleeve 14 is hinged to each frame rod along its circumference. In this hinged structure, a ring or multiple connecting pieces can be fixedly connected around the outside of the sleeve 14. By rotatably folding the frame rods onto the ring or connecting pieces, the frame rods can be hinged and folded relative to the sleeve. Other conventional techniques can also achieve the same effect using hinged connections, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0047] The sleeve 14 is fitted onto a rotating connecting shaft 7 that can rotate freely relative to the frame. The outer side of the rotating connecting shaft 7 is provided with a handle 8 for screwing, and the inner side is provided with an external threaded connection part 9 for connecting to the upper surface of the frame with a pre-reserved connection hole 10.

[0048] During disassembly and installation, the inner external threaded connection part 9 of the rotating connecting shaft 7 is threaded together with the pre-reserved connection hole 10 on the upper surface of the frame by turning the handle 8. Similarly, disassembly can be performed by turning. The rotating connecting shaft 7 and the sleeve 14 are sleeved together, so that only the rotating connecting shaft 7 needs to be rotated during the turning process, without the need to rotate the folding frame 6 at the same time, thus facilitating disassembly and installation operations.

[0049] In some embodiments, the folding frame material may be lightweight materials such as carbon fiber, composite materials, plastics, or aluminum alloys.

[0050] In order to better secure the flexible organic solar panel 4 and improve its stability during flight, the outer edge of the folding frame 6 is provided with at least four fastening parts 11 that are evenly spaced along the circumference and detachably connected to the upper surface of the frame. The upper surface of the frame is provided with multiple buckle seats 12 that match and connect to the fastening parts 11.

[0051] In some embodiments, the mating connection between the fastening part 11 and the buckle seat 12 can be achieved by using existing technologies such as plug-in buckle connection, pin fixing connection, or screw fixing connection.

[0052] In some embodiments, a long, tubular or semi-circular organic solar film 5 can be fitted onto the arms of the multi-rotor drone to facilitate the addition of more lightweight, flexible solar films to provide auxiliary power to the drone. Considering that the arms are mostly fixed or folding arms, the organic solar film 5 can be fixedly attached to the surface of the arm to reduce the inconvenience caused by folding, disassembling, or installing the arm.

[0053] In this embodiment, the multi-rotor UAV is also equipped with a flight control board, receiver, sensors, lighting, GPS, lidar, and other devices. The flexible organic solar panel 4 is also used to connect to the aforementioned sensors or lighting devices to provide auxiliary power.

[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
