[0039] 1. Stable positioning of hydrogen cylinders

[0051] 2. Connection of airway
[0052] After the hydrogen cylinder is installed, the gas pipe 11 is connected to the outlet of the hydrogen cylinder, and the gas pipe is fixed in a suitable position by the pipe positioning frame 133 to ensure that the hydrogen can flow smoothly into the gas collecting chamber 131 and finally be transported to the hydrogen fuel cell.
[0053] 3. Fixing of hydrogen cylinder
[0054] Finally, the top seat 96 is pressed down by pressing down the push rod 95 on the top seat 96, so that the connecting plate 961 and the gland 962 firmly fix the hydrogen bottle in the bracket. At this time, the telescopic frame 963 and the stabilizing clamping plate 964 further stabilize the upper part of the hydrogen bottle to ensure its safety during flight.
[0055] 4. Take-off and landing of drones
[0056] When the UAV takes off and lands, the buffer legs 71 and the buffer pads 74 in the support legs 7 can effectively absorb the impact force and protect the hydrogen cylinder and its bracket from damage.
[0057] Through the above specific implementation, the hydrogen fuel cell drone hydrogen cylinder positioning device can effectively ensure the stability and safety of the hydrogen cylinder during the flight of the drone, ensuring that hydrogen can be smoothly supplied to the fuel cell, thereby providing continuous power for the drone.
[0058] All kinds of components used in this application document are standard parts, and the specific connection methods of each part adopt mature conventional means such as sewing and gluing in the prior art.
