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.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle obstacle avoidance device shown in the figure includes a body 1 and a clamping mechanism arranged at the bottom of the body 1, and the clamping mechanism includes a working component and a clamping component;

[0026] The working assembly includes a rotating wheel 2. The bottom of the machine body 1 is provided with the rotating wheel 2. A rotating shaft 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating wheel 2. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 3 is rotatably connected with a connecting plate 4.

[0027] The clamping assembly includes a first fixed plate 5, the outer wall of the rotating shaft 3 is spirally connected to the first fixed plate 5, one end of the first fixed plate 5 is fixedly connected to a first clamping piece 6, the outer wall of the rotating shaft 3 is spirally connected to a second fixed plate 7, one end of the second fixed plate 7 is fixedly connected to a second clamping piece 8, the inner wall of the second clamping piece 8 is provided with a support column 9, and the bottom of the connecting plate 4 is fixedly connected to a base plate 10.

[0028] Among them, Figure 3 As shown, the first fixing plate 5 is provided with a threaded groove which matches the rotating shaft 3. The first fixing plate 5 forms a spiral structure with the rotating shaft 3 through the rotating wheel 2, which is conducive to driving the first clamping plate 6 to move by rotating the rotating shaft 3, thereby clamping the support column 9 and fixing the connecting plate 4 at the bottom of the body 1 for easy installation.

[0029] Among them, Figure 3 As shown, four groups of the first fixing plate 5, the first clamping plate 6, the second fixing plate 7, the second clamping plate 8 and the supporting column 9 are arranged, and the positional relationship of the four groups of the first fixing plate 5, the first clamping plate 6, the second fixing plate 7, the second clamping plate 8 and the supporting column 9 is symmetrically distributed about the midpoint of the fuselage 1, which is beneficial to ensure the stability of the fixing of the connecting plate 4 and prevent it from falling off during flight.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment further illustrates Example 1, the outer wall of the base plate 10 is fixedly connected with a hollow block 11, the inner wall of the hollow block 11 is fixedly connected with a spring 12, one end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected with a sliding block 13, one end of the sliding block 13 is fixedly connected with a protective shell 14, the inner wall of the protective shell 14 is fixedly connected with a sliding column 15, the outer wall of the body 1 is provided with an arm 16, one end of the arm 16 is fixedly connected with a spiral blade 17.

[0035] When in use: first, the user rotates the rotating wheel 2 to make the rotating shaft 3 rotate in the groove of the connecting plate 4, causing the first fixing plate 5 to move spirally on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 3, driving the first clamping piece 6 to fix and clamp the supporting column 9, so that the first clamping piece 6 and the second clamping piece 8 stably fix the connecting plate 4 on the outer wall of the supporting column 9, completing the positioning, which can achieve the effect of quick disassembly and installation;

[0036] Finally, the protective shell 14 comes into contact with the outside world, causing the sliding block 13 to shrink into the groove of the hollow block 11, relying on the spring 12 to play a buffering and supporting role. At the same time, the sliding column 15 drives the machine arm 16 to shrink into the groove of the body 1, reducing the collision force of the protective shell 14, playing a buffering role, and reducing damage to the body 1.
