Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and in particular to a variable-form unmanned aerial vehicle pod structure. Background Art

[0002] A drone pod is a payload system installed on a drone, used to carry various devices (cameras, etc.) or sensors, expanding the functions and application scope of the drone. With the continuous development of drone technology and the widespread promotion of its application, drone pods play an important role in military, civilian and commercial fields.

[0003] The existing Chinese patent application with application number CN118270267A discloses a dual-light micro-pod light UAV, including a UAV, and also including support feet, a camera group, a fixing device, a lifting device and an adjusting device installed on the UAV. The dual-light micro-pod light UAV is used to control the rotation of the camera group at multiple angles by setting an adjusting device. The deflection plate drives the camera group to deflect synchronously by rotating, and one end of the deflection plate is fixedly installed with the inner wall of the adjusting shell through a bearing; the invention realizes that a deflection motor can drive multiple deflection plates to deflect as needed through the magnetic connection between the electromagnet and the transmission gear, and controls the rotation of different cameras in the camera group, thereby realizing the adjustment and control of the camera group at multiple angles through the mutual cooperation of these components.

[0004] However, the drone pod structure has the following defects when used:

[0005] 1. When the existing drone pod structure is installed on the bottom of the drone and the drone is photographed from below, some impurities in the air are likely to stick to the camera lens during the flight of the drone. At this time, these impurities are difficult to clean during the aerial photography process, which can easily affect the clarity of the aerial photography scenery and framing during long-term operations;

[0006] 2. When the existing drone pod structure is installed at the bottom of the drone and the camera is used to take aerial photos below, the camera needs to be rotated to increase the range of aerial photography. However, in the actual operation of the traditional solution, the camera is set downward for aerial photography, and the contact area and range with the air are larger. The wind resistance during flight of the drone will also be greater, which can easily cause damage to the mechanical parts of the rotating camera, and the safety is low. Summary of the invention
