[0045] Specifically, by setting a flip motor 513 and a fixed shaft 514, the flip plate 51 can be flipped, which is beneficial for keeping the flip plate 51 in a horizontal state when the lens of the multi-spectral camera body 3 is not cleaned, and the flip plate 51 will not block the viewing angle of the multi-spectral camera body 3 when it is in a horizontal state.

[0046] Working principle: When the present invention is in use, when the multi-spectral camera body 3 is installed, the multi-spectral camera body 3 can be placed in the inner cavity of the placement frame 4, and then the knob 68 can be rotated to rotate the worm 67 fixed on the knob 68, and the threaded rod 62 can be rotated by the worm wheel 66 meshing with the worm 67. The outer periphery of the threaded rod 62 is provided with opposite external threads near both ends, so that the threaded sleeves 63 threadedly connected at both ends of the outer periphery of the threaded rod 62 can move to the opposite side under the limit of the rectangular opening 64, and then the clamping plate 65 fixed on the adjacent threaded sleeve 63 can move to the opposite side, so that the multi-spectral camera body 3 can be quickly installed, and vice versa. The main body 3 of the machine is quickly disassembled, and the main body 1 of the drone is taken off through an external controller, and a large area of ​​regional images are captured through the multispectral camera main body 3. When the lens of the multispectral camera main body 3 is blurred, the operator can start the flip motor 513 through the external controller, and the power output shaft of the flip motor 513 rotates to drive the fixed shaft 514 fixed on the flip motor 513 to rotate, so that the flip plate 51 fixedly sleeved on the outer periphery of the fixed shaft 514 can be flipped 90 degrees, and the wiping cotton 57 can be fitted with the lens of the multispectral camera main body 3. With the coordinated use of the electric slide rail 52 and the electric slider 54, the lens of the multispectral camera main body 3 can be wiped by the wiping cotton 57, thereby improving the clarity of the shooting.
