The ring 603 is engaged, and is only used to rotate the transfer joint drum 601 in the preset rotation direction. In other words, when the rotation shaft 302 is rotated in the predetermined rotation direction, the first pawl 604 is engaged with the first transochet ring 602, thereby rotating the transfer cylinder 601, thereby driving the drive wheel 303 by the transfer cylinder 601. When the rotation direction is rotated, at this time, the second varicent tooth rotates along the preset rotation direction along the preset rotation direction, and the second ratchet and the second pawl 605 are not in the preset rotation direction. Meshing, the second pawl 605 does not rotate together with the second ratchet to avoid rotation of the output shaft 501. When the second pawl 605 engages the second pawl 605, the second pawl 605 can drive the second ratty of the second ratty of the preset rotation direction under the drive of the output shaft 501, and the first ratcin ring 602 Will not drive the first pawl 604 to rotate, the rotating shaft 302 does not rotate together.
[0052] The aviation photographing apparatus provided by the present embodiment, the photographer 200 can be repeated when the aircraft 100 is flying, the photographic area is large, wide, and high work efficiency.
[0053] It is merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the invention, and the present invention can have various changes and variations for those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. according to the spirit of the invention should be included within the scope of the invention.
