[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle dust cleaning equipment, in particular to an automatic dust cleaning device for the surface of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The drone surface is equipped with a camera to record and monitor. However, since the camera surface is easily contaminated in an open air environment, monitoring equipment is usually installed, and the monitoring equipment that needs to be installed is the monitoring camera. In the prior art, if a monitoring camera has an unrepairable fault, it is necessary to replace the monitoring camera. The monitoring camera is usually fixed to the plane with screws. Reinstallation requires an increase in the number of holes, and the maintenance process is relatively complicated. In addition, the monitoring camera is prone to dust accumulation during long-term operation. The lens of the camera needs to be cleaned regularly to ensure a clear picture. However, the cleaning parts used for wiping sometimes cannot completely cover the lens of the camera, resulting in poor cleaning effect and certain disadvantages. To this end, we propose an automatic dust cleaning device for the surface of a drone. Utility Model Content
