[0090] In actual application, in order to ensure the overall center of gravity balance of the structure and to be well suited to the flight requirements of the UAV, a balance block can be installed on the left side of the bottom of the mounting base 1;

[0091] In actual application, the mounting base plate 1 is fixedly mounted at a suitable position on the drone by passing bolts through the mounting holes 5 and threadedly connected to the drone.

[0092] A method for using a multi-stage correction and adjustment structure of a camera for precise landing of an unmanned aerial vehicle comprises the following steps:

[0093] A: Use the bolts and mounting holes 5 to securely mount the mounting base plate 1 on the drone. The recognition camera 4 captures the positioning beacon in real time. After the drone flies to the nest area according to the preset route, the recognition camera 4 detects the presence of the beacon and extracts its XY position information. It then performs a first-stage angle adjustment to place the drone directly above the beacon. During the first landing, the drone reaches the minimum obstacle avoidance altitude, and then performs a second-stage angle adjustment to place the drone directly above the beacon and land.

[0094] B: In step A, when performing the first-stage angle adjustment process, the distance between the recognition camera 4 and the beacon is relatively far. As the drone flies, the angle of the recognition camera 4 needs to be continuously adjusted, and a high-speed rotation configuration should be used. When performing the second-stage angle adjustment process, the distance between the recognition camera 4 and the beacon is relatively close. As the drone descends, the angle of the recognition camera 4 needs to be slightly adjusted, and a low-speed rotation configuration should be used.

[0095] C: In step B, the stepper motor 311 is controlled to drive the incomplete gear 312 to rotate continuously. When the incomplete gear 312 is engaged with the driven ring gear 305, the rotating shell 304, the first angle sensor 302 and the mounting plate 306 are rotated. In conjunction with the first angle sensor 302 detecting the rotation angle, the angle of the recognition camera 4 is flexibly adjusted. The difference between the first stage angle adjustment and the second stage angle adjustment is that the height of the incomplete gear 312 is different. When the speed of the stepper motor 311 is constant, the lower the height of the incomplete gear 312, the slower the rotation speed of the rotating shell 304.

[0096] D: In step C, when the position of the incomplete gear 312 needs to be adjusted, the stepper motor 311 first drives the incomplete gear 312 to rotate to the initial position (as shown in the accompanying drawings of the specification). Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the angle of the incomplete gear 312 is the initial angle), and then the electric push rod 308 is controlled to extend and retract. Under the positioning action of the guide groove 314 and the guide rod 315, the auxiliary frame 313 is stably moved up and down to change the height of the incomplete gear 312;

[0097] E: In step B, the servo motor 606 is controlled to drive the driving roller 607 to rotate forward and backward. Under the elastic support of the support spring 610, the anti-skid wheel 605 and the driving roller 607 cooperate to position and clamp the support strip steel bar 604. As the driving roller 607 rotates forward and backward, the support strip steel bar 604 will be displaced forward and backward, thereby causing the two ends of the support strip steel bar 604 to be at different heights. With the assistance of the auxiliary protrusion 7, the recognition camera 4 is rotated on the positioning frame 601. Since the circumference of the driving roller 607 is fixed, the second angle sensor 608 detects the rotation angle, and the forward and backward displacement length of the support strip steel bar 604 can be flexibly controlled, thereby flexibly controlling the rotation angle of the recognition camera 4.

[0098] F: Combining steps C, D, and E, during the flight of the drone, the angle of the recognition camera 4 can be well adjusted for the actual flight calibration process to adapt to the different requirements of the first and second stages, which is more in line with the actual needs of the user.

[0099] To sum up: the multi-stage correction and adjustment structure of the camera for precise landing of the drone solves the problem that the basic adjustment structure cannot adjust the speed according to different recognition distances for different landing stages of the drone by setting the packaging shell 2, the speed-changing turnover mechanism 3, the identification camera 4, the angle-changing adjustment mechanism 6 and the auxiliary protrusion 7. The overall applicability is general. At the same time, for cameras with higher precision, the use of small motors has high load requirements, and the use of medium-sized motors will greatly increase the weight of the drone, which has certain limitations.
