[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0017] The utility model is provided with a protective component and utilizes the above structure. Since the environment during surveying and mapping also includes the environment of mountains and gravel fields, when the drone body is surveying and mapping in the air, the wind blows some sand and stones to prevent the sand and stones from colliding with the surveying and mapping probe, causing damage to the surveying and mapping probe. The surveying and mapping probe is protected by the protective shell, thereby achieving the effect of preventing the sand and stones from colliding with the surveying and mapping probe.

[0018] The utility model is provided with a cleaning component and utilizes the above structure. Wind and sand will cause dust to adhere and affect the surveying and mapping of the surveying and mapping probe, which needs to be cleaned.

Therefore, the surveying and mapping probe is protected by a dustproof cover. When the dustproof cover is cleaned, the driving motor drives the threaded shaft to rotate, so that the cleaning strip moves on the surface of the threaded shaft to remove the dust on the bottom of the dustproof cover. The protective plate prevents the dust from directly contaminating the cleaning strip, thereby achieving the effect of preventing dust from affecting the surveying and mapping of the surveying and mapping probe.

[0026] The preferred embodiment of the surveying and mapping drone provided by the utility model is as follows: Figures 1 to 4 As shown: it includes a drone body 1, a flight component 2 is arranged at the side end of the drone body 1, which is used for the drone body 1 to fly, a mapping component 3 is arranged inside the drone body 1, which is used for mapping, a buffer component 4 is arranged at the bottom of the drone body 1, which is used to reduce the impact force when the drone body 1 lands, a protection component 5 is arranged at the bottom of the drone body 1, which is used to protect the mapping component 3 from damage, a cleaning component 6 is arranged at the bottom of the protection component 5, which is used to clean the protection component 5, the flight component 2 includes a connecting frame 21 and a propeller 22, the connecting frame 21 is fixedly connected to the drone The side surface of the drone body 1, the propeller 22 is fixedly mounted on the connecting frame 21 at one end away from the drone body 1, the surveying and mapping component 3 includes a surveying instrument 31 and a surveying and mapping probe 32, the surveying instrument 31 is fixedly mounted on the top of the drone body 1, the surveying and mapping probe 32 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the surveying instrument 31, and is fixedly mounted inside the drone body 1, the buffer component 4 includes a fixed shell 41, a spring 42, and a supporting foot 43, the fixed shell 41 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drone body 1, one end of the spring 42 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed shell 41, and the supporting foot 43 is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring 42.

[0027] Specifically, when the drone body 1 returns to the ground after surveying, since the surveying component 3 is mainly an electronic component, in order to avoid excessive impact force when landing that may cause damage to the internal parts of the surveying component 3, the spring 42 is used to reduce the impact when the drone body 1 lands. Embodiment 2

[0028] On the basis of the first embodiment, the preferred embodiment of the surveying and mapping drone provided by the present utility model is as follows: Figures 1 to 4As shown: the protection component 5 includes a protection shell 51 and a dust cover 52. The protection shell 51 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drone body 1 and is arranged on the outside of the surveying and mapping probe 32. The dust cover 52 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the protection shell 51. The protection shell 51 is made of a material with high resistance and is used to protect the surveying and mapping probe 32 from damage. The dust cover 52 is made of a transparent material and is used to prevent dust from adhering to the surface of the surveying and mapping probe 32. The cleaning component 6 includes a connecting ring 61, a moving part 62, and a protective plate 63. The connecting ring 61 is fixedly connected to the dust cover. The side surface of the cover 52, the movable component 62 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting ring 61, the protective plate 63 is fixedly connected to the side end of the movable component 62, the movable component 62 includes a fixed frame 621, a motor 622, a threaded shaft 623, and a cleaning strip 624, the fixed frame 621 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting ring 61, the motor 622 is fixedly installed on the side end of the fixed frame 621, one end of the threaded shaft 623 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 622, and the other end is fixedly installed inside the fixed frame 621, and the cleaning strip 624 is movably connected to the outer surface of the threaded shaft 623.

[0029] Specifically, since the surveying environment also includes mountainous and gravel fields, when the drone body 1 is surveying in the air, the wind blows some sand and stones to prevent the sand and stones from colliding with the surveying probe 32 and causing damage to the surveying probe 32. The surveying probe 32 is protected by the protective shell 51. At the same time, the wind and sand will cause dust to adhere and affect the surveying of the surveying probe 32, which needs to be cleaned. However, the surveying probe 32 is directly cleaned. Since the surveying probe 32 is an electronic device, wind and sand or water vapor penetrates into the surveying probe 32 and also causes damage to the surveying probe 32. Therefore, the surveying probe 32 is protected by the dust cover 52. When cleaning the dust cover 52, the driving motor 622 drives the threaded shaft 623 to rotate, so that the cleaning bar 624 moves on the surface of the threaded shaft 623 to remove the dust at the bottom of the dust cover 52, and the protective plate 63 prevents the dust from directly contaminating the cleaning bar 624.

[0030] The working process of the utility model is as follows:

[0031] When the drone body 1 returns to the ground after surveying, since the surveying component 3 is mainly electronic components, in order to avoid excessive impact force when landing, which may cause damage to the internal parts of the surveying component 3, the spring 42 is used to reduce the impact when the drone body 1 lands. Since the environment during surveying also includes mountains and gravel fields, when the drone body 1 is surveying in the air, the wind blows some sand and stones to prevent the sand and stones from colliding with the surveying probe 32, causing damage to the surveying probe 32. The protective shell 51 protects the surveying probe 32, and the wind and sand will cause dust to adhere and affect the surveying. The mapping probe 32 needs to be cleaned after mapping, but the mapping probe 32 is cleaned directly. Since the mapping probe 32 is an electronic device, wind, sand or water vapor penetrating into the inside of the mapping probe 32 will also cause damage to the mapping probe 32. Therefore, the mapping probe 32 is protected by a dust cover 52. When the dust cover 52 is cleaned, the driving motor 622 drives the threaded shaft 623 to rotate, so that the cleaning strip 624 moves on the surface of the threaded shaft 623 to remove the dust at the bottom of the dust cover 52, and the protective plate 63 prevents the dust from directly contaminating the cleaning strip 624.
