[0026] 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.
[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a cruise drone with protective function, including a drone body 1, a propeller 2 and an arm 3. The arm 3 is installed on the outside of the drone body 1, and the propeller 2 is installed on the top of the arm 3. Two protective net covers 4 are fitted on the outside of the propeller 2, and the two protective net covers 4 are hinged together. There are four arms 3 and four propellers 2, and the four arms 3 and four propellers 2 are located at the four corners of the drone body 1. The propeller 2 is rotatably connected to the arm 3. The propeller 2 rotates by a motor inside the arm 3. The protective net covers 4 wrap the propeller 2 inside to prevent the propeller 2 from contacting other objects.
[0028] Both protective net covers 4 are connected to swing arms 5 on their outer surfaces. The swing arms 5 control the opening and closing of the two protective net covers 4. When the swing arms 5 are pushed outward, the two protective net covers 4 are opened and removed from the outside of the propeller 2. After the protective net covers 4 are put on the outside of the propeller 2, the two swing arms 5 are combined together, which drives the two protective net covers 4 to be combined together.
[0029] A slide block 6 is connected to the upper surface of the drone body 1. A claw 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide block 6. The inner wall of the claw 7 contacts the end of the swing arm 5 away from the protective net cover 4. A pull rod 8 is connected to one side of the claw 7. By inserting the swing arm 5 into the interior of the slide block 6, the claw 7 wraps around the end of the swing arm 5, preventing the two swing arms 5 from separating from the protective net cover 4 and improving the stability of the swing arm 5 and the protective net cover 4.
[0030] A cover plate 10 is connected to one side of the slide block 6. The inner wall of the cover plate 10 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the pull rod 8. A pull ring 11 is connected to one end of the pull rod 8 located outside the slide block 6. The cover plate 10 serves to seal the slide block 6, preventing dust or debris from entering the interior of the slide block 6. The pull ring 11 facilitates the movement of the pull rod 8.
[0031] A spring 9 is sleeved on the outside of the pull rod 8. One end of the spring 9 is connected to one side of the pawl 7, and the other end of the spring 9 is connected to one side of the cover plate 10 located inside the slide block 6. The spring 9 provides elastic pushing force to the pawl 7, pushing the pawl 7 to contact the swing arm 5 tightly, preventing the pawl 7 from disengaging from the swing arm 5.
[0032] The outer surface of the claw 7 is connected to the slide rail 12, and the inner side of the slide block 6 is provided with a slide channel 13. The outer surface of the slide rail 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide channel 13. The slide channel 13 provides guidance and support for the slide rail 12, maintaining the stability of the slide rail 12 when it moves. The slide rail 12 provides support force for the claw 7, maintaining the stability of the claw 7.
[0033] The inner side of the slide block 6 is provided with a groove 14, and the groove 14 is adapted to the swing arm 5. The groove 14 provides space for the swing arm 5 to enter the slide block 6, making it easy for the swing arm 5 to enter the slide block 6 and move out.
[0034] The upper surface of the arm 3 is connected to a support sleeve 15, which is located outside the propeller 2. The inner side of the support sleeve 15 is provided with a slot 16, which provides support for the protective net cover 4. The lower surfaces of the two protective net covers 4 are connected to arc-shaped blocks 17. The outer surface of the arc-shaped blocks 17 contacts the inner wall of the slot 16. The arc-shaped blocks 17 wrap around the outside of the slot 16 to block the protective net cover 4, prevent the protective net cover 4 from moving up and down, and improve the stability of the protective net cover 4.
[0035] Working principle: When in use, first put the protective net cover 4 on the outside of the propeller 2, and at the same time, make the arc-shaped locking block 17 lock on the outside of the locking groove 16. Then, merge the swing arm 5, and then put the swing arm 5 into the interior of the slide block 6 through the groove 14. At the same time, pull the pull rod 8 to move its position through the pull ring 11. As the pull rod 8 moves its position, it drives the locking claw 7 to compress the spring 9. After the locking claw 7 moves its position, it provides space for the swing arm 5 to enter the interior of the slide block 6. Then, release the pull ring 11, and the spring 9 pushes the locking claw 7 to wrap the swing arm 5 inside, so that the protective net cover 4 has stability.
