[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions: a patrol drone, including a body, a camera is provided at the bottom of the body, a driving mechanism is provided at the top of the body, support rods are provided on both sides of the body, a support plate is provided at the bottom of the support rod, an inflatable airbag is provided in the support plate, the camera is telescopically arranged on the body through a first telescopic rod, the support rod is an elastic adjustment structure, a slot is provided at the bottom of the left and right sides of each support plate, a second telescopic rod that can be telescoped up and down is provided on the front and rear sides of each slot, and a universal wheel is provided at the bottom of the second telescopic rod.

[0007] As a further improvement of the utility model, the support rod includes an upper support rod and a lower support rod, the upper support rod is fixed on the machine body, a slide groove is provided at the bottom of the upper support rod, a slide rod is provided at the top of the upper support rod, the slide rod can be slid up and down and embedded in the slide groove, and is connected to the slide groove by a spring.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod are both electric push rods.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the cross-sectional shapes of the slide groove and the slide rod are both rectangular.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the upper support rod is in the shape of a "7".

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0012] 1. By arranging a slot on the support plate, arranging a second telescopic rod in the slot, and providing a universal wheel at the bottom of the second telescopic rod, when the UAV needs to walk on the ground, the second telescopic rod drives the universal wheel to extend out of the slot, and the UAV can walk directly on the ground under the action of driving; and the camera is connected to the body through the first telescopic rod, so that when the support rod blocks the camera's field of view or the camera needs to be inserted into a hole downward, the first telescopic rod can drive the camera to extend downward, which is more flexible and convenient to use.

[0013] By setting the support rod as an elastic adjustment structure, the walking wheels can provide a certain buffering deformation when walking on the ground, especially when walking on uneven ground, climbing slopes or off-road, thereby improving the overall walking stability. In addition, when the drone is landing, the support rod can also provide a certain buffer for the drone and reduce the impact force.

[0014] 2. By setting the cross-sectional shape of the slide groove and the slide rod to a rectangle, the slide rod is prevented from rotating relative to the slide groove. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The following is combined with Figure 2-3 The utility model is further described in detail. For a clearer illustration, only the structure related to the utility model is shown in the figure.

[0021] For the convenience of description, the coordinate system is defined as Figure 2 As shown, the left-right direction is the horizontal direction, the front-back direction is the longitudinal direction, and the up-down direction is the vertical direction.

[0022] The utility model embodiment discloses a patrol inspection drone. Figure 2 A patrol drone includes a body 1, a camera 2 is provided below the body 1, a driving mechanism 3 is provided above the body 1, support rods are provided on both sides of the body 1, a support plate 4 is provided at the bottom of the support rod, and an inflatable airbag 5 is provided in the support plate 4. The inflatable airbag 5 is arranged in the same manner as in the prior art. In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the camera 2 is telescopically arranged on the body 1 through the first telescopic rod 6, and the support rod is an elastic adjustment structure. Specifically, the support rod includes an upper support rod 9 and a lower support rod 10. The upper support rod 9 is in the shape of a "7" and is fixed to the body 1. A slide groove 11 is provided at the bottom of the upper support rod 9, and a slide rod 12 is provided at the top of the upper support rod 9. The slide rod 12 can be slid up and down and embedded in the slide groove 11, and is connected to the slide groove 11 through a spring. In addition, in order to prevent the slide rod 12 from rotating relative to the slide groove 11, the cross-sectional shapes of the slide groove 11 and the slide rod 12 are both rectangular. In addition, the first telescopic rod 6 and the second telescopic rod 7 are both electric push rods.

[0023] In addition, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a slot 13 is provided below the left and right sides of each support plate 4 , and a second telescopic rod 7 that can be telescoped up and down is provided on the front and rear sides of each slot 13 , and a universal wheel 8 is provided at the bottom of the second telescopic rod 7 .

[0024] The utility model provides a slot 13 on the support plate 4, a second telescopic rod 7 in the slot 13, and a universal wheel 8 at the bottom of the second telescopic rod 7. When the UAV needs to walk on the ground, the second telescopic rod 7 drives the universal wheel 8 to extend out of the slot 13, so that the UAV can walk directly on the ground under the action of the drive. It should be noted that the driving mechanism needs to have or be equipped with a driving member for driving the UAV to walk, such as a walking motor, etc.; and the camera 2 is connected to the body 1 through the first telescopic rod 6, so that when the support rod blocks the field of view of the camera 2 or the camera 2 needs to be inserted into a hole downward, the first telescopic rod 6 can drive the camera 2 to extend downward, which is more flexible and convenient to use.

[0025] By setting the support rod as an elastic adjustment structure, the walking wheels can provide a certain buffering deformation when walking on the ground, especially when walking on uneven ground, climbing slopes or off-road, thereby improving the overall walking stability. In addition, when the drone is landing, the support rod can also provide a certain buffer for the drone and reduce the impact force.
