Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes a drone 1, a camera component 2 and a cleaning component 3; the camera component 2 and the drone 1 are connected by a snap fastener 16, and the camera component 2 can capture images from multiple angles; the cleaning component 3 is installed on the camera component 2, and is used to automatically clean the stains on the camera component 2; the cleaning component 3 includes a transmission part 4, a driving part 5 and a cleaning part 6; the driving part 5 is installed on the drone 1, and is used to drive the transmission part 4 to transmit; the transmission part 4 is installed at the output end of the driving part 5, and is used to drive the cleaning part 6 to reciprocate; the cleaning part 6 is installed on the transmission part 4, and is used to repeatedly wipe and clean the end face of the camera component 2.

[0032] The camera assembly 2 and the drone 1 are assembled and disassembled by the snap fastener 16, which facilitates the cleaning of the camera assembly 2 after disassembly. The camera assembly 2 can shoot from five different positions to increase the shooting area. When there are stains on the camera assembly 2, the driving part 5 is started, the driving part 5 drives the transmission part 4 to transmit, and the transmission part 4 drives the cleaning part 6 to wipe the camera assembly 2 back and forth to achieve an automatic cleaning effect, avoiding the camera lens having to be wiped manually on the ground, and the lens of the camera assembly 2 can also be wiped for emergency during the flight to ensure the shooting effect and quality.

[0033] The driving unit 5 includes a control motor 7, a bracket 8 and a connecting shaft 9. The brackets 8 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the camera assembly 2, the control motor 7 is mounted on the brackets 8, and the connecting shaft 9 is mounted on the output end of the control motor 7. The brackets 8 are U-shaped, mounted on the drone 1, and the spacing between the symmetrically arranged brackets 8 is larger than the area of ​​the camera assembly 2, so as to avoid the brackets 8 blocking the viewing angle and line of sight and affecting the shooting effect during shooting. After the control motor 7 is driven, the output shaft of the control motor 7 drives the connecting shaft 9 to transmit, and the control motor 7 realizes forward and reverse rotation to drive the connecting shaft 9 forward and reverse rotation.

[0034] A guide groove 10 is provided on the side of the bracket 8, and the transmission parts include a guide block 11, a guide rod 12 and a screw rod 13. The guide block 11 slides in the guide groove 10, and the screw rod 13 passes through the guide block 11. The screw rod 13 and the guide groove 10 of the bracket 8 on one side are rotatably matched, and the guide rod 12 is fixed in the guide groove 10 on the other side. The guide block 11 and the screw rod 13 are threadedly matched, the guide rod 12 and the guide block 11 are slidably matched, and the screw rod 13 and the connecting shaft 9 are fixed.

[0035] The cross-section of the guide groove 10 is circular, and the guide block is spherical. The output shaft of the control motor 7 drives the connecting shaft 9 and the screw rod 13 to transmit together. The screw rod 13 drives the guide block 11 to slide in the guide groove 10, and the guide block 11 on the other side also slides along the guide rod 12. Due to the forward and reverse movement of the control motor 7, the guide block 11 reciprocates in the guide groove 10.

[0039] The camera body 21 is composed of five parts. The middle camera body 21 is arranged to face upward for shooting, and the other four are arranged to face the middle for shooting at an angle. Each camera and the base 20 are rotated to cooperate. The five lens positions can cover a wider shooting area. The mirror 22 is installed on the outside of the camera body 21 to block stains and impurities to prevent damage to the camera body 21 or contamination of the camera body 21 during flight, thereby increasing the service life of the camera body 21.

[0040] The area of ​​the cleaning cotton 15 is larger than the area of ​​the mirror surface 22. When the cleaning cotton 15 with a larger area is used, it is convenient to wipe the mirror surface 22 in all directions as the cleaning disk 14 wipes back and forth on the mirror surface 22, covering all areas of the mirror surface 22; when not in use, the cleaning cotton 15 is parked on one side of the mirror surface 22 to prevent blocking the field of view during shooting.

[0041] When the drone 1 encounters stains or impurities on the mirror surface 22, the driving part 5 drives the transmission part 4 and the cleaning part 6 to automatically clean and wipe the mirror surface 22 on the camera assembly 2, thereby avoiding manual cleaning of the lens, ensuring the effect and quality during the shooting operation, and promptly dealing with and resolving unexpected accidents that block the mirror surface 22 from shooting.
