[0002] Plant protection UAV, also known as unmanned aerial vehicle, is an unmanned aircraft used for agricultural and forestry plant protection operations. This type of UAV consists of three parts: flight platform, navigation flight control, and spraying mechanism. It realizes spraying operations through ground remote control or navigation flight control. It is mainly used for spraying pesticides, fertilizing, irrigation or other plant protection activities.

[0003] Plant protection drones are usually used in agricultural and forestry planting areas such as farmlands, orchards, vineyards, and forests. These locations are often accompanied by mud, stones, and undulating land. When the drone lands, the uneven ground may cause the drone to lose control or become unstable when landing. This requires the addition of a landing cushioning device to reduce the resistance of the fuselage during descent and the power of operation.
