[0023] Example 1
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a highly integrated control flight cockpit adapted to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) according to the first aspect embodiment of the present invention includes a cockpit table 1, a display 3, a throttle lever 6, a joystick 7, and an integrated control panel 8. The display 3 is mounted on a bracket 4, and the bracket 4 is located behind the cockpit table 1.
[0025] Throttle lever 6, joystick 7 and integrated control panel 8 are all located on the top of cockpit table 1. Integrated control panel 8 is located below display 3. Throttle lever 6 and joystick 7 are both located on the front side of cockpit table 1, and throttle lever 6 and joystick 7 are respectively located on the left and right sides.
[0026] The display 3, throttle lever 6, and joystick 7 are all electrically connected to the integrated control panel 8. During use, commands are sent to the drone through the integrated control panel 8 to control it to perform corresponding actions.
[0027] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the entire flight cockpit needs to be equipped with a corresponding seat for use. The display 3 includes multiple screens, which can be used to display different system and instrument information. Each screen is set independently. The bracket 4 is detachably connected to the cockpit table 1. The bracket 4 is height-adjustable so that the display 3 can be adjusted to a suitable height during use.
[0028] The technical effects achieved by this embodiment are as follows: The entire flight cockpit adopts an integrated design, allowing the pilot to complete relevant operations in a centralized control area, accelerating takeoff preparation and improving flight efficiency. The integrated design enables better monitoring and management of the operational status of each subsystem, reducing human error.

[0036] In this embodiment, it should be noted that there are four movable wheels 2, which are arranged in a rectangular shape. The movable wheels 2 are made of fumarole, and the special bearing design of fumarole can keep them level on uneven ground, ensuring that the equipment remains stable on various terrains and surfaces.
[0037] The entire flight cockpit operates as follows: Before use, the cockpit table 1 can be quickly moved to a suitable position using the casters 2, depending on the usage scenario. Upon entering the cockpit, the system automatically performs a self-check. After the self-check, the pilot inputs flight plan information, such as the origin, destination, and waypoints, through the integrated control panel 8, and the planning results are displayed on the monitor 3. During flight, the pilot can control the aircraft via the touch-sensitive integrated control panel 8. Alternatively, the pilot can manually control the throttle stick 6 and joystick 7 to adjust the drone's speed and flight attitude. Simultaneously, the monitor 3 updates and displays changes in flight altitude and other relevant flight parameters in real time. If a system malfunctions during flight, the audible and visual alarm 5 will sound, and the pilot can take appropriate countermeasures based on the prompts. Additionally, the retractable multi-functional socket allows for charging and connecting an external microphone.
