[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 7 The agricultural irrigation drone shown in the figure includes a drone body 1, a storage box 2 is arranged below the drone body 1, an opening is arranged at the front end of the storage box 2, a water tank 29 is arranged inside the storage box 2, a pull-out plate 3 is slidably arranged below the water tank 29, a front plate 5 and a rear plate 4 are respectively installed at both ends of the pull-out plate 3, the front plate 5 is arranged outside the storage box 2, the rear plate 4 is arranged inside the storage box 2, a clamping mechanism 6 is arranged at the top end of the inner cavity of the storage box 2, and a movable groove 21 is arranged at the bottom of the storage box 2. The inside of the movable groove 21 A matching mechanism 22 is provided, and a cylinder 35 is installed at the rear of the storage box 2. The output end of the cylinder 35 is connected to the rear plate 4. By providing the clamping mechanism 6 and the matching mechanism 22, when the water tank 29 is installed inside the storage box 2, the extrusion plate 11 can clamp the water tank 29 to ensure that the water tank 29 can be positioned in the middle of the pull-out plate 3. At the same time, the connecting pipe 23 is lifted upward, and the connecting pipe 23 can be directly inserted into the output hole. The liquid inside the water tank 29 can be transported to the pipeline 33 through the connecting pipe 23 and the water pipe.
[0023] The clamping mechanism 6 includes a gear 7, which is rotatably mounted on the surface of the storage box 2. A rotating rod 8 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the gear 7. First protrusions 9 are arranged at both ends of the rotating rod 8. Extrusion plates 11 are arranged on both sides of the gear 7. A second protrusion 12 is installed in the middle of the top of the extrusion plate 11. A connecting rod 10 is installed between the first protrusion 9 and the second protrusion 12 through a rotating shaft. By rotating the gear 7, the rotating rod 8 can push or pull the extrusion plate 11 through the connecting rod 10, so that the two extrusion plates 11 can move inward or outward at the same time. This operation can achieve the clamping of the water tank 29, ensuring that the water tank 29 can be positioned in the middle of the pull-out plate 3.
[0024] A push plate 15 is provided inside the storage box 2, and a side strip 16 is fixedly installed at the end corner of the top of the push plate 15. A rack surface 18 is provided on the surface of one of the side strips 16, and the rack surface 18 is meshed with the gear 7. A protruding box 19 is provided at the rear of the storage box 2, and a spring 20 is provided inside the protruding box 19. The end of the spring 20 is connected to the push plate 15.

The strip surface 18 can drive the gear 7 to rotate in the forward direction, so that the two extrusion plates 11 can slide outward at the same time. At this time, the extrusion plates 11 have no clamping effect on the water tank 29, and the water tank 29 can be smoothly pulled out. When the pull-out plate 3 is pushed into the storage box 2, the rear plate 4 has an extrusion effect on the push plate 15. At this time, the push plate 15 drives the side strip 16 to move backward, and the gear 7 rotates in the opposite direction, so that the two extrusion plates 11 can slide inward at the same time. At this time, the extrusion plates 11 have a clamping effect on the water tank 29.
[0025] A slide groove 13 is provided on the top of the extrusion plate 11 , and a slide bar 14 is provided inside the slide groove 13 . The slide bar 14 is fixedly connected to the storage box 2 . Under the action of the slide groove 13 and the slide bar 14 , the extrusion plate 11 can move smoothly.
[0026] A protruding strip 17 is provided on the top of the side strip 16 , and the protruding strip 17 is slidably installed on the top of the storage box 2 . Under the action of the protruding strip 17 , it is ensured that the side strip 16 can move smoothly.
[0027] A push rod 27 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the front plate 5, and a groove is provided at the front end of the push rod 27. The push rod 27 is inserted into the movable groove 21. The matching mechanism 22 includes a connecting pipe 23, and a third protrusion 24 is provided at the four end corners of the bottom of the connecting pipe 23. A fourth protrusion 25 is provided at the four end corners of the groove. A light rod 26 is connected between the third protrusion 24 and the fourth protrusion 25 through a rotating shaft. A reserved groove 28 is provided at the middle end of the pull-out plate 3, and an output is provided at the bottom of the water tank 29. The output hole corresponds to the connecting tube 23. When the push rod 27 is pushed toward the inside of the movable groove 21, the connecting tube 23 touches the inner wall of the movable groove 21, and the push rod 27 is further pushed forward. When the push rod 27 touches the inner wall of the movable groove 21, under the action of the light rod 26, the connecting tube 23 is lifted upward. Since the push rod 27 is connected to the front plate 5, the push rod 27 can move synchronously with the pull-out plate 3, so that the connecting tube 23 is lifted upward, and the connecting tube 23 can be directly inserted into the output hole.
[0028] A water pipe is connected to the bottom of the connecting pipe 23, a bracket 32 is provided at the bottom of the drone body 1 and on the side of the storage box 2, a pipe 33 is provided below the storage box 2, the water pipe is connected to the pipe 33, water spray outlets 34 are provided at both ends of the pipe 33, and a wireless remote control valve is installed on the surface of the pipe 33, so that the liquid inside the water tank 29 can be transported to the pipe 33 through the connecting pipe 23 and the water pipe. During the flight of the drone 1, the staff can control the wireless remote control valve to spray the liquid medicine.
[0029] A protruding surface 30 is provided on the top of the water tank 29 , the end of the protruding surface 30 protrudes from the storage box 2 , and a liquid inlet 31 is provided on the protruding surface 30 . The protruding surface 30 facilitates the clamping of the extrusion plate 11 , and the liquid inlet 31 facilitates the staff to add liquid medicine to the water tank 29 .
[0030] Working principle: first, when the pull-out plate 3 is pushed into the storage box 2, the rear plate 4 has an extrusion effect on the push plate 15. At this time, the push plate 15 drives the side strip 16 to move backward, and the gear 7 rotates in the opposite direction. The rotating rod 8 can push or pull the extrusion plate 11 through the connecting rod 10, so that the two extrusion plates 11 can slide inward at the same time. At this time, the extrusion plate 11 has a clamping effect on the water tank 29. At the same time, since the push rod 27 is connected to the front plate 5, the push rod 27 can move synchronously with the pull-out plate 3, and the connecting tube 23 touches the inner wall of the movable groove 21. The push rod 27 is further pushed forward. When the push rod 27 touches the inner wall of the movable groove 21, under the action of the light rod 26, the connecting tube 23 is lifted upward, so that when the water tank 29 is completely stored in the storage box 2, the extrusion plate 11 clamps and positions the water tank 29. The water tank 29 is positioned in the middle of the pull-out plate 3, and the connecting pipe 23 is lifted upward, and the connecting pipe 23 can be directly inserted into the output hole. After the water tank 29 is installed as a whole, the staff fills the water tank 29 with water through the liquid inlet, and the liquid inside the water tank 29 can be transported to the pipeline 33 through the connecting pipe 23 and the water pipe. Finally, during the flight of the drone 1, the staff can control the wireless remote control valve to achieve the spraying of the liquid medicine, and then when the cylinder 35 pushes the rear plate 4 to move forward, the elastic force of the spring 20 can push the push plate 15 forward. At this time, the rack surface 18 can drive the gear 7 to rotate forward, so that the two extrusion plates 11 can slide outward at the same time. At this time, the extrusion plate 11 has no clamping effect on the water tank 29, and the water tank 29 can be smoothly pulled out.
