Abstract

The present invention relates to an unmanned flying vehicle using a PCB including a main board controlling power supply and flying operation, a motor rotating a propeller by changing electric energy into mechanical energy, a PCB frame changing a signal from a remote controller and connecting the main board with the motor, a propeller generating an impellent force by from rotation by the motor, a receiver receiving a control signal of the remote controller, and a remote controller controlling a motor rotation speed of a quadrotor and direction change, and accordingly, the structure of the unmanned flying vehicle can be simplified so that the flying vehicle can be down-sized and light-weighted, and assemblability can be improved.

Claims

1. An unmanned flying vehicle comprising:

a body portion formed at a center thereof;

a plurality of frame portions having one end connected to the body portion and forming the entire shape of the unmanned flying vehicle; and

a plurality of driving portions mounted on the other end of the frame portion and generating an impellent force for a flight,

wherein the frame portion is formed of a print circuit board.

2. The unmanned flying vehicle of claim 1, wherein the body portion comprises a main board in the shape of PCB where at least one of a control module for flying control and a communication module for exchanging data with an external communication device is installed.

3. The unmanned flying vehicle of claim 2, wherein the body portion further comprises a battery for supplying power to the main body, the frame portion, and the driving portion.

4. The unmanned flying vehicle of claim 3, wherein the body portion comprises a plurality of main boards, the plurality of main boards are supported by a plurality of supporting shafts with a predetermined distance therebetween, and the battery is disposed in a portion of the predetermined distance.

5. The unmanned flying vehicle of claim 2, wherein a battery for supplying power to the body portion, the frame portion, and the driving portion are mounted on one side of the frame portion.

6. The unmanned flying vehicle of claim 1, wherein the frame portion comprises a transmission module for transmission of the driving portion, and the transmission module and a control module of the main board are connected through a printed circuit line.

7. The unmanned flying vehicle of claim 1, wherein the frame portion further comprises a landing means to support the flying vehicle for landing of the flying vehicle with a predetermined height from the ground.

8. The unmanned flying vehicle of claim 7, wherein the landing means is formed of one of a sponge material, a poly-styrene material, and a memory form material for buffering landing impact.

9. The unmanned flying vehicle of claim 1, wherein a support means is further mounted on the bottom side of the frame portion to prevent bending and torsion of the frame portion of the unmanned flying vehicle.

10. The unmanned flying vehicle of claim 9, wherein the supporting means is formed of at least one of polycarbonate (PC) and Frame Retardent 4(FR4).

11. The unmanned flying vehicle of claim 1, wherein an electron element having a heat generation amount that is greater than a predetermined amount is disposed at one side of the frame portion in a mounting direction of the driving portion.

12. The unmanned flying vehicle of claim 1, wherein at least one of the body portion and the frame portion is formed of a FR4 PCB.

13. The unmanned flying vehicle of claim 1, wherein the body portion and the frame portion are integrally formed with a single PCB.
