[0035] A drone for oil exploration, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes a rotary-wing UAV 1, an electric cylinder 2, an oil detector 3, and a self-balancing leg-foot landing gear 4.

[0036] The rotor drone 1 may specifically be a quad-rotor drone.

[0037] There may be two electric cylinders 2 connected to the bottom of the rotor UAV 1 and distributed on both sides of the body.

[0038] The oil detector 3 may be specifically an acoustic oil detector connected to the telescopic rods of the two electric cylinders 2 .

[0039] There can be two self-balancing leg-foot landing gears 4, which are connected under the arms on both sides of the rotor UAV 1. During the landing process of the rotor UAV 1, they can interact with the terrain and adapt to the terrain, so that the rotor UAV 1 can land smoothly and maintain balance.

[0040] The oil detection drone disclosed in the above embodiment can be used to set the position coordinates of the oil detection, so that the rotor drone 1 can land at the position coordinates of the oil detection. After landing, the two electric cylinders 2 are started to drive the oil detector 3 to move downward, so that the probe of the oil detector 3 penetrates into the surface as a seismic source to transmit waves for oil detection. After the detection is completed, the two electric cylinders 2 are used to drive the oil detector 3 to move upward, and the oil detector 3 is retracted, and then returned, or flies to the position coordinates of the next oil detection to perform oil detection. This replaces the manual and physical detection methods of oil detection, and can reach locations that are difficult for people and vehicles to reach to detect oil, which can save a lot of manpower and material resources, ensure the safety of personnel, and promote the intelligence of oil detection.

[0041] The oil exploration drone disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiment is provided with a self-balancing leg-foot landing gear, which can interact with the terrain and adapt to the terrain during the landing of the rotorcraft drone 1, so that the rotorcraft drone 1 can land smoothly and maintain balance, thereby adapting to various complex terrains in the field, and can adaptively maintain the balance and stability of the rotorcraft drone 1 when the probe penetrates into the surface or is retrieved from the ground.

[0042] The self-balancing leg-foot landing gear 4 adopts a connecting rod structure, such as Figure 2 As shown, it includes a connecting frame 5, a lever 6, a vertical straight rod 7, a slider 8, a slider connecting rod 9, a transmission connecting rod 10, a crank connecting rod 11, and a support leg 12.

[0043] The connecting frame 5 is connected to the lower part of the arm of the rotary wing UAV 1, and can be specifically connected by welding.

[0044] The middle part of the lever 6 is pivotally connected to the connecting frame 5 and can be set along the heading of the rotary-wing UAV 1 .

[0045] There are two vertical straight rods 7 connected to the connecting frame 5 and can be distributed along the heading of the rotary-wing UAV 1.

[0046] There are two slide blocks 8, which are slidably connected to the two vertical straight rods 7, and can be specifically connected through slide rails.

[0047] There are two slider connecting rods 9, one end of which is pivotally connected to the two sliders 8.

[0048] There are two transmission connecting rods 10, one end of which is pivotally connected to the two ends of the lever 6.

[0049] There are two crank connecting rods 11, one end of which is pivotally connected to two vertical straight rods 7 or the connecting frame 5, specifically, can be pivotally connected to the top of the two vertical straight rods 7, and the other end is pivotally connected to the other end of the two slider connecting rods 9 and the other end of the transmission connecting rod 10.

[0050] There are two supporting legs 12 connected to two slide blocks 8 .

[0051] During the landing process of the rotor UAV 1, in the self-balancing leg-foot landing gear 4, the two legs 12 are in contact with the ground and interact with the terrain, and can adaptively slide along the vertical straight rod 7. During the sliding process, the transmission is transmitted to the lever 6 through the slider 8, the slider connecting rod 9, and the transmission connecting rod 10. At the same time, the transmission process is constrained by the crank connecting rod 11 to ensure the stability of the transmission process, so that the terrain can be adapted, and the rotor UAV 1 can land smoothly and maintain balance.
