Optionally, the length adjustment assembly comprises a motor, a screw rod and a nut, the motor is connected with the first part of the inner-section wing lower connecting rod, an output shaft of the motor is connected with one end of the screw rod, and the other end of the screw rod is connected with the second part of the inner-section wing lower connecting rod through the nut.
Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a steering control device of an ornithopter according to this embodiment.
Still taking the right wing as an example, optionally, the steering control device of the ornithopter further comprises: the upper inner wing connecting rod comprises an upper inner wing connecting rod 25, a main outer wing shaft 26, a connecting rod 27 and an upper outer wing supporting rod 28, wherein a first end of the lower inner wing connecting rod (see the left end of the lower inner wing connecting rod in fig. 4) and a first end of the upper inner wing connecting rod (see the left end of the upper inner wing connecting rod in fig. 4) are respectively connected to a driving crank 31, a second end of the lower inner wing connecting rod (see the right end of the lower inner wing connecting rod in fig. 4) is fixedly connected with a first position of the main outer wing shaft 26 through the upper outer wing supporting rod 28, a second end of the upper inner wing connecting rod (see the right end of the upper inner wing connecting rod in fig. 4) is connected with a first end of the main outer wing shaft, and particularly, the second end of the upper inner wing connecting rod is rotatably connected with the first end of the main outer. The first position is close to the first end of the main shaft of the outer section wing, and the second end of the upper connecting rod of the inner section wing is connected with the second end of the lower connecting rod of the inner section wing through a connecting rod 27. When the length of the lower connecting rod of the inner wing is shortened, the connecting rod 27 is driven to rotate around the second joint connecting shaft, and the supporting rod of the outer wing is pulled, so that the main shaft of the outer wing is driven to rotate around the second joint connecting shaft, and the relative included angle between the main shaft of the outer wing and the inner wing is reduced.
Specifically, the outer section wing support rod is fixedly connected with the outer section wing main shaft at a first position. One end of the outer section wing supporting rod is fixedly connected with one end of the second part of the inner section wing lower connecting rod, and the other end of the outer section wing supporting rod is fixedly connected with the first position of the outer section wing main shaft. The connecting rod is arranged between the inner section wing upper connecting rod and the inner section wing lower connecting rod, two ends of the connecting rod are respectively connected with the inner section wing upper connecting rod and the inner section wing lower connecting rod through bearings, the connecting rod, the outer section wing supporting rod and the inner section wing main shaft form a triangular shape, and the inner section wing upper connecting rod, the inner section wing lower connecting rod, the connecting rod and the driving crank form a quadrilateral shape.

The screw rod is driven to rotate relative to the nut through the positive and negative rotation of the motor output shaft, and the screw rod extends into the nut or extends out of the nut, so that the length of the lower connecting rod of the inner-section wing is adjusted. The relative included angle between the outer section wing and the inner section wing is increased when the length of the inner section wing lower connecting rod is extended, and the relative included angle between the inner section wing and the outer section wing is reduced when the length of the inner section wing lower connecting rod is shortened. Wherein, the motor is a bidirectional motor.
Alternatively, the nut may refer to a thread structure that one end (e.g., the left end in fig. 4B) of the second portion of the inner-section wing lower link is configured to match with the screw rod, so that the screw rod may extend into the inner-section wing lower link or extend out of the inner-section wing lower link when rotating, thereby equivalently adjusting the length of the inner-section wing lower link.
Optionally, the distance between the first end of the outer-section wing main shaft and the first position may be set according to actual requirements, and this embodiment is not limited.
Optionally, the inner section wing lower link, the inner section wing upper link and other auxiliary materials, which are not shown in the figure, together form the inner section wing.

Wherein, the AB pole is the lower connecting rod of inner segment wing promptly, installs length adjustment device on the AB pole, adds two-way motor promptly, and the output shaft and the hob of motor are connected, and the other end of hob passes through the nut to be connected with the second part of AB pole. The rotation of the motor is controlled through the flight control device, and the depth of the spiral rod screwed into the nut is changed through the rotation of the motor, so that the length of the whole AB rod is changed. The deeper the screw rod is screwed into the AB rod, the shorter the length of the whole AB rod is, and vice versa. In the direct flight state, the flapping positions of the left wing and the right wing are symmetrical.
For example, as shown in fig. 5B, a schematic view of the wing position of the ornithopter provided in this embodiment in a left turn state is shown. Under the state of turning left, the left outer section wing rotates anticlockwise around the first joint connecting shaft, and the right outer section wing rotates anticlockwise around the second joint connecting shaft.
For example, as shown in fig. 5C, a schematic view of the wing position of the ornithopter provided in this embodiment in a right-turn state is shown. Under the state of turning right, the left outer section wing rotates clockwise around the first joint connecting shaft, and the right outer section wing rotates clockwise around the second joint connecting shaft.
In fig. 5A to 5C, the head of the ornithopter is inward from the vertical paper, that is, the forward direction of the ornithopter is inward from the vertical paper, and the tail is outward.
It should be noted that the respective implementable modes in the present embodiment may be implemented individually, or may be implemented in combination in any combination without conflict, and the present application is not limited thereto.
