    摘要: A flight device includes a device body with a surface, a plurality of arm structures disposed in the device body and a plurality of rotor modules disposed to the arm structures respectively. Each arm structure includes a fixing base, a second screw element, a connecting unit, a rod body and a position-limiting element. The fixing base is disposed in the device body and includes a first screw element having a first screw part. The second screw element has a second screw part matched with the first screw part. The connecting unit drills through the second screw element. The connecting unit is locked to the fixing base by screwing the first and second screw parts with each other. The rod body drills through the connecting unit. The position-limiting element is disposed between the second screw element and the connecting unit. The position-limiting element abuts against the second screw element.

    摘要: A charge device for a drone includes a base and a covering mechanism. The base has a charge portion. The covering mechanism includes two covers, two first position-limiting components and two second position-limiting components. The two covers are movably disposed on the base. The covers are adapted to move toward each other to become a closed state and cover the charge portion, and the covers are adapted to move away from each other to become an expanded state and expose the charge portion. The first position-limiting components are connected to the covers respectively. Each of the second position-limiting components is connected between the covers. When the covers are in the closed state, the first position-limiting components and the second position-limiting components are located above the charge portion. When the covers are in the expanded state, the first position-limiting components and the second position-limiting components are away from the charge portion.
