An air extraction pipe 319 is slidably penetrated on one side of the machine box 1, one end of which is connected to the suction cup 318, and an air extraction pump 320 is installed on the arc surface of the air extraction pipe 319. When the air extraction pump 320 is started, the air extraction pipe 319 is evacuated, and the air extraction pipe 319 causes the suction cup 318 to absorb air, so that the drone battery 7 can be firmly adsorbed on the suction cup 318.

[0041] Two effects are achieved by providing the battery replacement device 3: first, the battery replacement device 3 is provided in the machine box 1, which is small in size, making it convenient for personnel to carry the device, thereby improving the portability of the drone endurance battery installation device; second, the replacement operation of the drone battery 7 can be automatically completed, and the drone battery 7 can be stably installed on the drone, thereby reducing the need for manual operation and reducing the safety hazards of battery replacement in high-risk environments.
[0042] Reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in this embodiment: the drone limiting device 4 includes an electric push rod 401, which is fixed on one side of the machine box 1, and the output end of the electric push rod 401 is fixedly connected to a carrier plate 402.

The side of the two mounting plates 407 close to each other is rotatably connected with the screw rod 408, and the arc surface of the screw rod 408 is provided with a bidirectional thread. When the screw rod 408 rotates, the two limiting plates 409 can be driven to move in the direction of approaching or moving away from each other by means of the bidirectional thread. The arc surface of the screw rod 408 is threadedly connected with two limiting plates 409. The limiting hole 405 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting hole 405.

The operation of the driving motor 406 can control the rotation of the screw rod 408. When it is necessary to limit the UAV on the supporting plate 402 to prevent it from shaking during the battery replacement process, the driving motor 406 is started to drive the screw 408 to rotate, and the screw 408 drives the two limiting plates 409 to move towards each other at the same time. The limiting plates 409 drive the extrusion plates 410 to clamp and limit the UAV frame, thereby limiting the UAV on the supporting plate 402.
[0044] A plurality of indicator lights 404 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the supporting plate 402 . The indicator lights 404 are evenly distributed on the upper surface of the supporting plate 402 . The indicator lights 404 can guide the landing of the drone.

When the electric push rod 401 drives the supporting plate 402 to move, the limiting rails 403 can guide and position the supporting plate 402, thereby improving the stability of the moving process of the supporting plate 402.
[0046] By setting the drone limiting device 4, the position of the drone body 2 on the supporting plate 402 can be adjusted, so that the battery slot under the drone body 2 can be accurately aligned with the drone battery 7, and the drone on the supporting plate 402 can be limited to prevent it from shaking during the battery replacement process.

A sliding hole 504 is provided on one side of the fixed seat 501, and the center of the sliding hole 504 is coaxial with the axis of rotation of the connecting plate 502. A sliding rod 505 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole 504, and one end of the sliding rod 505 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 502. During the rotation of the connecting plate 502, the sliding rod 505 will be driven to move along the inner wall of the sliding hole 504, thereby improving the stability of the connecting plate 502 during the rotation process. The arc surface of the slide rod 505 is threadedly connected with an adjusting ring 506 , and a gasket 507 is fixedly connected to one side of the adjusting ring 506 close to the fixing seat 501 . Rotating the adjusting ring 506 drives the gasket 507 to abut against the fixing seat 501 , so as to limit the connection plate 502 and the support frame 503 . When it is necessary to adjust the support frame 503 so that the machine box 1 can be supported horizontally and firmly on the ground, first rotate the adjustment ring 506 to drive the gasket 507 to separate from the fixing seat 501, and then rotate the support frame 503 to drive the connecting plate 502 to make the connecting plate 502 rotate along the inner wall of the fixing seat 501. During the rotation of the connecting plate 502, the sliding rod 505 will be driven to slide along the inner wall of the sliding hole 504. When the support frame 503 is rotated to a suitable angle, the adjustment ring 506 is rotated again to drive the gasket 507 to abut against the fixing seat 501, and the adjustment and limiting of the support frame 503 can be completed. Finally, the support frame 503 is supported on the ground. By setting the support device 5, the machine box 1 can be supported horizontally and firmly on the ground, so that the machine box 1 can be used in an uneven environment, thereby improving the applicability of the drone endurance battery installation device.
[0048] Both ends of the support frame 503 are fixedly connected with anti-skid sleeves 508, and the anti-skid sleeves 508 can increase the friction between the support frame 503 and the ground, so as to achieve the effect of making the support frame 503 more firmly supported on the ground.
[0049] Detailed instructions for use: When you need to replace the battery of the drone, you need to do the following steps:
[0050] S1. First, rotate the adjustment ring 506 to drive the gasket 507 to separate from the fixed seat 501, and then rotate the support frame 503 to drive the connecting plate 502, so that the connecting plate 502 rotates along the inner wall of the fixed seat 501. During the rotation of the connecting plate 502, the sliding rod 505 will be driven to slide along the inner wall of the sliding hole 504. When the support frame 503 is rotated to a suitable angle, the adjustment ring 506 is rotated again to drive the gasket 507 to abut against the fixed seat 501, so as to complete the adjustment and limiting of the support frame 503, and finally support the support frame 503 on the ground.
[0051] S2. When the support of the machine box 1 is stable, the drone to be replaced is landed on the supporting plate 402, and the driving motor 406 is started to drive the screw 408 to rotate. The screw 408 drives the two limit plates 409 to move towards each other at the same time.
