Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and in particular to a UAV degree-of-freedom testing device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of UAV research and development and verification, flight control algorithms, sensor accuracy, and overall stability testing are key aspects to ensure the safe and reliable operation of aircraft. Currently, the industry commonly uses a three-axis manual rotation test rig, where external forces are manually applied to make the UAV under test move in three rotational directions (pitch, roll, and yaw) or in a straight line to approximate real flight attitude.
[0003] However, the aforementioned existing technical solutions have significant drawbacks: the manual method relies on the operator's experience, making it difficult to accurately reproduce the motion trajectory, angular velocity, and angular acceleration, resulting in poor repeatability of experimental results and hindering quantitative comparative analysis. Therefore, a device is needed that can precisely control the rotation of a UAV in the pitch, roll, and yaw directions to facilitate the testing of the UAV's degrees of freedom. Utility Model Content

The third rotating mechanism includes a third motor and a third rotating connector. The third motor is fixedly installed on both sides of the second test frame, and the third rotating connector is fixedly disposed on the inside of the second test frame.
