[0002] The continuous integration of drone technology and camera technology has promoted the application of drone cameras in multiple fields. Drone cameras can be mounted on various drones to perform real-time photography and monitoring of targets through remote control or autonomous flight. However, drones often face complex and changeable environmental conditions during flight, such as wind, rain, dust, impact, etc. These factors may cause damage to the camera, affecting the shooting quality and service life, so the camera needs to be protected.

[0003] Existing drone cameras generally lack effective shock-absorbing structures in their design and application, which has become a major bottleneck restricting their performance improvement and expansion of application scope. During the flight of drones, especially in complex and changeable environments, such as strong winds, turbulent airflow or sudden changes in flight attitude, drone cameras are often subjected to large vibrations and impacts. These vibrations and impacts may not only cause damage to the precision mechanical structure inside the camera, affecting shooting stability and imaging quality, but may also cause irreversible damage to the camera's electronic components and sensors. Therefore, we need to propose camera protection components and drone cameras. Utility Model Content

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] See also Figure 1-4 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] The camera protection component includes two groups of mounting plates 1 and a drone body 2. The tops of the two groups of mounting plates 1 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the drone body 2, and the two groups of mounting plates 1 are symmetrically arranged. A protective shell 3 is arranged between the two groups of mounting plates 1. Shock-absorbing components 4 for absorbing external impact forces are respectively arranged on both sides of the protective shell 3. An air inlet 5 is opened at the bottom of the protective shell 3. An air inlet 6 for heat dissipation is arranged inside the air inlet 5. The utility model can effectively absorb and disperse the energy of these vibrations and impacts by arranging the shock-absorbing component 4, ensuring that the camera body 11 maintains a stable working state, thereby taking clearer and more stable images and videos. At the same time, the addition of the shock-absorbing component 4 can reduce the risk of structural damage to the camera body 11 due to vibration and impact, and can significantly reduce the failure rate and maintenance cost of the camera body 11, and extend its service life;

[0025] The shock absorbing assembly 4 includes two groups of fixed sleeves 401, both of which are fixedly connected to the side wall of one side of the mounting plate 1, and the inside of the two groups of fixed sleeves 401 is slidably connected with a moving block 402, and one side of the moving block 402 is fixedly connected with a movable rod 403, one end of the movable rod 403 is fixedly connected to one side of the protective shell 3, and the movable rod 403 is slidably connected to the fixed sleeve 401;

[0026] It also includes a damping spring 7, one end of which is fixedly connected to an inner wall of one side of the fixed sleeve 401, and the other end of the damping spring 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the moving block 402;

[0027] Specifically, when an external force acts on the shock absorbing spring 7, the shock absorbing spring 7 will be deformed by the force, and the kinetic energy of the external force will be converted into elastic energy and stored. When the external force ends, the elastic energy stored in the shock absorbing spring 7 is released, and the shock absorbing spring 7 returns to its original state, and the stored energy is transmitted to the outside world in the form of a buffering force, thereby achieving a shock absorbing effect.

[0028] It is worth noting that a damper 8 is also included, one end of which is fixedly connected to a side wall of the mounting plate 1, and the other end of the damper 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the protective shell 3. The damper 8 is a component that can reduce the vibration amplitude of an object, which is mainly achieved by absorbing vibration energy or hindering the propagation of vibration. When the shock absorbing spring 7 is deformed by an external force, the damper 8 absorbs the vibration energy and converts part of the kinetic energy into heat energy or other forms of energy dissipation, thereby reducing the amplitude and frequency of the vibration;

[0029] The air induction assembly 6 includes a fixed shell 601, which is fixedly embedded in the temple of the air inlet 5. Two sets of fans 602 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed shell 601. A dustproof screen 603 is arranged below the two sets of fans 602 in the fixed shell 601.

[0030] Specifically, by starting the fans 602, the two sets of fans 602 can blow the air with lower outside temperature into the interior of the protective shell 3, and then discharge the internal heat through the air outlet, so as to achieve the heat dissipation effect;

[0031] A slot 9 corresponding to the dust screen 603 is provided on the inner wall of the fixed shell 601, and one side of the slot 9 passes through the fixed shell 601. The dust screen 603 is inserted into the slot 9 and fixed with a positioning pin. A push-pull block 10 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the dust screen 603. By providing the slot 9 and the push-pull block 10, the dust screen 603 can be easily disassembled and assembled, thereby facilitating its disassembly, replacement or cleaning.

[0032] The drone camera includes a camera protection assembly and a camera body 11. The camera body 11 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the protective shell 3. An air outlet is provided on the top of the protective shell 3. An isolation net 12 is fixedly embedded inside the air outlet. The isolation net 12 is provided to isolate and filter external debris.

[0033] A through groove 13 is provided on one side of the protective shell 3, and a high-strength glass 14 is fixedly embedded inside the through groove 13. By setting the high-strength glass 14, the high-strength glass 14 has excellent strength and impact resistance, which can effectively protect the camera body 11 from impact and damage by external objects.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
