[0023] As a technical optimization scheme of the utility model, by setting the installation component 6, when the camera 3 is replaced, the installation groove 61 inside the slider 5 and the installation strip 62 on the surface of the guide rail 4 are aligned, and then the slider 5 is slid and installed with the guide rail 4 through the installation groove 61 and the installation strip 62, so that the camera 3 can be installed with the camera 3 through the slider 5 and the guide rail 4, thereby improving the operator's installation convenience after replacing the camera 3.

[0024] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The reinforcement component 7 includes a support plate 71, which is fixedly connected to the left side of the bottom of the drone body 1. A movable hole 72 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 71. A squeezing rod 73 is slidably connected to the inside of the movable hole 72. A squeezing ball 74 is fixedly connected to the right end of the squeezing rod 73. A spring 75 is movably sleeved on the surface of the squeezing rod 73. The diameter of the squeezing ball 74 is larger than the diameter of the spring 75. A fixing hole 76 for cooperating with the squeezing ball 74 is provided on the left side of the slider 5. A limit component 8 is provided on the surface of the squeezing rod 73.

[0025] As a technical optimization scheme of the present invention, by setting a reinforcement component 7, when the slider 5 drives the camera 3 to move on the surface of the guide rail 4 through the installation component 6, when the squeezing ball 74 hits the slider 5, the squeezing ball 74 drives the squeezing rod 73 to be pushed out to the left through the slider 5, and then the spring 75 generates elastic force through the squeezing ball 74, so that the elastic force released by the spring 75 presses the squeezing ball 74 against the left side of the slider 5, and then the operator continues to push the slider 5, and then the squeezing ball 74 falls into the fixing hole 76 through the elastic force released by the spring 75, so that the spring 75 presses the squeezing ball 74 tightly, thereby improving the stability of the slider 5 fixation and avoiding the shaking of the camera 3 after installation.

[0026] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A guide groove 9 is provided on the left side of the slider 5 , and one end of the guide groove 9 extends to the fixing hole 76 .

[0027] As a technical optimization solution of the utility model, by providing the guide groove 9, the guide groove 9 plays a guiding role in the movement of the extrusion ball 74, so as to avoid the extrusion ball 74 failing to fall into the extrusion hole.

[0028] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the other end of the guide groove 9 is chamfered.

[0029] As a technical optimization solution of the utility model, by chamfering the other end of the guide groove 9, the extrusion ball 74 can be pushed out to the left through the slider 5 more smoothly, avoiding the extrusion ball 74 from getting stuck when being pushed out to the left through the slider 5.

[0030] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The limiting assembly 8 includes a limiting groove 81, which is opened on the surface of the extrusion rod 73. There are four limiting grooves 81 and they are arranged in a ring shape with equal distances. A limiting block 82 used in conjunction with the limiting groove 81 is fixedly connected inside the movable ring.

[0031] As a technical optimization solution of the utility model, by setting a limit assembly 8, the extrusion rod 73 is slidably installed with the support plate 71 through the limit block 82 and the limit groove 81, so that the limit block 82 and the limit groove 81 limit the movement of the extrusion rod 73, thereby avoiding the extrusion rod 73 from being displaced when moving.

[0032] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The left end of the extrusion rod 73 is fixedly connected with a truncated cone block 10 , and the diameter of the truncated cone block 10 is larger than the diameters of the spring 75 and the extrusion rod 73 .

[0033] As a technical optimization solution of the utility model, the truncated cone block 10 is provided so that the truncated cone block 10 and the extrusion rod 73 are fixedly installed, and then the truncated cone block 10 limits the extrusion rod 73 to avoid the extrusion rod 73 falling off from the movable hole 72 during use.

[0034] The working principle and use process of the utility model are as follows: when in use, the camera 3 is first fixedly installed on the slider 5. When the camera 3 needs to be installed on the drone body 1, the mounting groove 61 inside the slider 5 and the mounting strip 62 on the surface of the guide rail 4 are aligned, and then the slider 5 drives the camera 3 to slide into the guide rail 4 through the mounting groove 61 and the mounting strip 62 for installation. When the slider 5 slides, it contacts the squeezing ball 74, so that the squeezing ball 74 drives the squeezing rod 73 to be pushed out to the left through the slider 5, and then the spring 75 generates elastic force through the squeezing ball 74, so that the elastic force released by the spring 75 squeezes the squeezing rod 73 to the left. The pressing ball 74 is against the left side of the slider 5, and the operator continues to push the slider 5, and then the squeezing ball 74 falls into the fixing hole 76 through the elastic force released by the spring 75, so that the spring 75 presses the squeezing ball 74 tightly, thereby improving the stability of the fixation of the slider 5 and avoiding the shaking of the camera 3 after installation. When the camera 3 needs to be removed, the operator pulls out the squeezing rod 73 to the left to drive the squeezing ball 74 to disengage from the squeezing hole, and then the operator slides the slider 5 to disengage the slider 5 from the guide rail 4, thereby removing the camera 3, which improves the convenience of the operator in removing the camera 3.

[0035] To sum up: the camera fixing structure of the unmanned aerial vehicle, by setting the guide rail 4, the slider 5, the installation component 6 and the reinforcement component 7, first fixes the camera 3 and the slider 5, and then slides the slider 5 into the guide rail 4 for installation through the installation component 6. At the same time, when the slider 5 moves, the reinforcement component 7 reinforces the slider 5, thereby improving the convenience of the operator to install the camera 3. It solves the problem that the existing camera is fixedly installed at the bottom of the equipment by a bracket and screws. Although the camera can be fixed, when the camera is damaged or needs to be replaced with a higher quality camera, it needs to be disassembled with the help of tools such as a screwdriver, which is too troublesome, and long-term twisting will cause damage to the screw thread, which has certain limitations.
