[0018] In the present invention, the four positioning columns 2 on the base plate 1 form an installation frame, the bottom plate 31 of the integrated circuit board 3 is horizontally inserted between the four positioning columns 2 along the top surface of the base plate 1, and the bottom plate 31 is fixed to the base plate 1 by bolts, and then the side plate 32 directly connected to the bottom plate 31 is bent by the flexible wire row so that it stands vertically and fits the outer side between the two positioning columns 2 to form one face of a cube. Similarly, the other two side plates 32 correspond to the other two faces of the cube respectively, and are locked and fixed to the positioning columns 2 by bolts respectively, so that the integrated circuit board 3 forms a hollow cube structure, which greatly reduces the overall structural volume, and makes the connecting seat 8 and the camera 7 located in the center of the cube, so that the connecting seat The bottom of 8 is docked with the bottom plate 31 to achieve installation, and then the external protection mechanism 9 is used to cover the outside of the cube where the integrated circuit board 3 is located to achieve all-round protection, thereby realizing that the device has a circuit board designed with a separate soft connection so that it can be folded and installed to form a cubic structure, which greatly saves the installation volume and reduces the difficulty of assembly, and uses the external protection mechanism to effectively protect the circuit boards on each side against interference, thereby improving the anti-interference ability. It solves the problem that the all-weather star sensor in the prior art requires a large number of electronic components, and the stacked circuit board structure occupies a large space, resulting in a large volume and difficulty in assembly.
