This invention discloses an aircraft with a folding and
locking mechanism, belonging to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology. The device includes a mounting housing and a self-
locking mechanism and a
locking mechanism located inside it. The self-locking mechanism has a supporting rotating shaft connected to the arms via a driven gear. The locking mechanism includes a corrugated expansion tube connected by a fairing and a flexible hose. The corrugated expansion tube drives a wedge-shaped pusher with a toothed lower end; the wedge-shaped pusher engages with a sliding rack, which is connected to the driven gear. Rotating a knob on the top of the housing drives a rotating disk, whose inclined top column simultaneously lifts all the wedge-shaped pushers. This invention, through a purely mechanical structure, utilizes the
airflow pressure during flight to drive the corrugated expansion tube, causing the wedge-shaped pushers to press down and push the rack to slide, thereby automatically folding and locking the gears and arms to adaptively adjust the wind-receiving area and enhance wind resistance stability; all arms can be simultaneously unlocked by rotating a single knob, enabling rapid manual folding.
