Terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries are to be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the contextual meaning of the related art and are to be interpreted as either ideal or overly formal in the sense of the present application Do not.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order that the present invention may be easily understood by those skilled in the art. .

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a smartphone control dron according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a smartphone control dron according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a photograph of a smartphone control dron according to the present invention

The drones 1 for controlling a smartphone according to the present invention include a body 10 having a smartphone compartment 11, a driving motor 20, a propeller 30, a battery 40, Unit 50 as shown in FIG.

The main body 10 is a skeleton of the smartphone control drone 1 according to the present invention. The main body 10 includes a main frame 11 located at the center and opened to the upper side, a smartphone 2, (12).

The main frame 10 further includes support frames 13 hinged to the main frame at four corners of the main frame in the front, rear, left, and right sides thereof so as to be housed inside the main frame.

A total of four drive motors 20 are installed at the ends of the support frame 13, which are provided at the front, rear, right, and left four corners of the main body.

The propeller 30 is mounted on a drive shaft of each of the drive motors 20 and is rotatable by driving the drive motor.

The support frame 13 provided at the end of the propeller 30 is hinged to the main frame 11 of the main body 10 so that the support frame 13 can be accommodated in the lower side internal accommodation space of the main frame 11 when not in use There is an advantage that it can be portable.

The propeller 30 is rotatably disposed on the front, rear, left, and right sides of the main body 10 to generate a lift force in a downward direction of the main body 10 to fly the main body 10.

In other words, the propeller 30 is composed of a total of four, and is mounted on a drive shaft of the drive motor 20, and generates lift by rotating the drive motor 20 at a high speed to enable the body 10 to fly.

At this time, the size of the propeller 30 can be variously set to a size of less than 5 cm and a size of 20 cm or more, and the shape of the propeller 30 can be composed of two rotary blades or three rotary blades or four rotary blades or more The size and shape of the propeller 30 may be appropriately selected to suit the purpose of use of the entire smartphone control drone 1.
