DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 A geographic information surveying and mapping device includes an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) body 2, a surveying and mapping component and a support component are arranged at the bottom of the UAV body 2, the support component includes two support legs 6 and a support frame 10, the support frame 10 is arranged on both sides of the bottom end of the UAV body 2, a rotating rod 12 is rotatably installed in the support frame 10, the upper end of the support leg 6 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 12, a driving member 11 is installed on the outer wall of one side of the support frame 10, and the output end of the driving member 11 is connected to the rotating rod 12. When the whole is in the take-off surveying and mapping state, the driving member 11 drives the rotating rod 12 to rotate and rotates the support leg 6 to a horizontal recovery state. A part for driving the support leg 6 to recover and unfold is designed above the support leg 6. When surveying and mapping is performed, the driving member 11 is used to rotate the support leg 6 to a horizontal position. At this time, the support leg 6 is higher than the position of the surveying and mapping component, and will not interfere with the information surveying and mapping of the surveying and mapping component, thereby ensuring the surveying and mapping quality.

[0026] The driving member 11 is a driving motor.

[0027] Furthermore, the surveying and mapping component includes an electric pan-tilt head 8 and a camera 5. The electric pan-tilt head 8 is installed at the center of the bottom wall of the drone body 2. The rotating end of the electric pan-tilt head 8 is connected to the camera 5. The camera 5 can be used to collect geographic images, thereby satisfying subsequent surveying and mapping operations of geographic information. At the same time, the electric pan-tilt head 8 can drive the camera 5 to rotate, thereby satisfying the multi-angle surveying and mapping operations of the camera 5.

[0028] Furthermore, when the support leg 6 is rotated downward, the bottom end surface of the support leg 6 is lower than the bottom end surface of the camera 5. Before taking off and landing, the support leg 6 can be rotated to a position lower than the surveying and mapping component to meet normal take-off and landing.

[0029] Furthermore, both ends of the support legs 6 are provided with silicone cushion sleeves 7, which can play an additional cushioning role when the support legs 6 fall to the ground, thereby ensuring the overall falling quality.

[0030] Furthermore, the four corners of the drone body 2 are fixedly connected with rotor connecting arms 4, and the ends of the rotor connecting arms 4 are equipped with rotors 9 with motors. The motor drives the rotors 9 to rotate, thereby generating lift and providing power for the drone body 2 to fly.

[0031] Furthermore, the interior of the drone body 2 has a battery 15 and a PCB mainboard 18 electrically connected to the battery 15. The upper end surface of the drone body 2 is recessed inward to form a mounting groove with an internal thread. The battery 15 has a PIN male socket 16 for charging it, and the bottom wall of the mounting groove is provided with a slot that allows the PIN male socket 16 to extend out.

[0032] Furthermore, a backup charging component is threadedly installed in the mounting groove of the drone body 2, and the backup charging component includes a solar panel 3 and a threaded mounting head 14. The threaded mounting head 14 is threadedly installed in the mounting groove of the drone body 2. The threaded mounting head 14 has a micro inverter 13 electrically connected to the solar panel 3. The micro inverter 13 can convert the direct current received by the solar panel 3 into the desired alternating current. By adding the solar panel 3 to the drone, solar energy can be used as an auxiliary power source, thereby further increasing the overall flight distance.

[0033] In addition, there are detachable solar panels, which can be added or not added according to the flight distance and weather. When there is no sun or long-term flight is not required, the solar panels can be directly removed to reduce the overall weight and ensure the overall flight distance.

[0034] Furthermore, a PIN female socket 17 electrically connected to the micro inverter 13 is installed at the bottom end of the threaded mounting head 14. When the threaded mounting head 14 is installed in the mounting groove, the PIN female socket 17 is plugged into the PIN male socket 16. Through the special design of the PIN male socket 16 and the PIN female socket 17, when the backup charging component is installed in the mounting groove, the connection operation between the backup charging component and the battery 15 is completed, and no additional wiring operation is required, which is more convenient.

[0035] Furthermore, a tail 1 is provided at the tail portion of the upper end surface of the drone body 2, and the tail 1 can increase the overall flight stability of the drone body 2.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
