Preferably, the reflective mirror is opened up to 180 degrees so that the camera allows front photographing and ground photographing. Wherein the plurality of tilt duct type rotors are respectively hinged to the drones and protrude from the drones; And one end is coupled to the plurality of tilt duct type rotors and the other end is hinged to the projecting portion so that the tilt duct type rotor rotates on the same line with respect to the projecting portion in the ground running mode, And a joint portion bent so as to be perpendicular to the protruding portion so that the tilt duct type rotor is parallel to the drone main body.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a drone adapter including: a drone body having a groove formed at a lower portion thereof; A plurality of tilt duct type rotors mounted on an upper portion of the drone main body for traveling on a ground road and for vertical takeoff and landing; A smartphone installed in a groove of the main body and equipped with a camera for controlling driving of the drone main body and photographing the surroundings to generate image data; And a hinge unit mounted on the lower portion of the camera so as to be rotatable, the hinge unit being inserted into a groove of the dron body to cover the smartphone and the camera, or to rotate downward to expose the camera to the outside during forward shooting, A plurality of tilt duct type rotors hinged to the drone main body and protruding from the main body to contact the drone main body or protrude from the main body; And one end is coupled to the plurality of tilt duct type rotors and the other end is hinged to the projecting portion so that the tilt duct type rotor rotates on the same line with respect to the projecting portion in the ground running mode, And a joint portion bent so as to be perpendicular to the protrusion so that the tilt duct type rotor is parallel to the drones main body.

As described above, it can perform both the role of the RC car and the RC airplane, can shoot forward through the reflection mirror, and can also be used as a smart phone.

Hereinafter, a drone adapter according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a perspective view of a drone adapter according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 is a perspective view showing the position of the tilt duct type rotor shown in Fig. 1, which operates as a wheel in a ground road running mode. 3 is a perspective view showing the position of the tilt duct type rotor shown in FIG. 1 in the flight mode. 4 is a perspective view showing a state where a reflecting mirror according to an embodiment of the present invention is inserted into a drones main body.

5 is a perspective view showing a state where the reflection mirror shown in FIG. 4 is separated from the drones main body.

Referring to FIG. 1, a drone adapter according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a drone main body 110, a plurality of tilt duct type rotors 120, a smart phone 130, and a reflective mirror 140.

A groove 112 is formed in the lower portion of the drone main body 110. A plurality of tilt duct type rotors 120 are installed on the upper portion of the drone main body 110 for traveling on the ground road and for vertical takeoff and landing. The tilt duct type rotor 120 has a ring shape and is positioned so as to be in contact with the ground surface in the ground road running mode and serves as a wheel. In the flight mode, the tilt duct type rotor 120 rotates in parallel with the drone main body 110, . The tilt duct type rotor 120 is folded in the upper direction of the drone main body 110 when not in use.

The plurality of tilt duct type rotors include protrusions 122 and joints 124, respectively.
