[0002] As a device carrying video acquisition and transmission systems, drones are widely used in various scenarios such as emergency lighting, disaster relief, video shooting, etc. In order to enable drones to fly for a long time, ground power supplies and tethered cables are usually used to power drones. The tethered cables are mainly wound in the tethered box and are retracted and released in conjunction with the rise and fall of the drone.

[0003] During the use of the current drone tethering box, the tethering cable will be stretched as the drone rises. Since the drone usually needs to fly outdoors for a long time, the tethering cable will be exposed to the outside world for a long time, which makes it easy for pollutants, including dust, grease and moisture, to adhere to the surface of the tethering cable. When the drone operation is completed, these pollutants will be rolled up into the tethering box body (1) along with the tethering cable, resulting in accelerated aging or damage of the cable, thereby affecting the service life of the cable.

[0007] In order to make the two cleaning cotton plates fit the surface of the tethered cable, preferably, the adjustment part includes: two screws, which are respectively threadedly connected to the two sides of the outer wall of the tethered box body; wherein one end of the screw is rotatably connected to a mounting plate, and the other end of the screw is fixedly connected to a knob, and the cleaning cotton plates are detachably mounted on the inner arc surface of the mounting plate.

[0008] In order to prevent the mounting plate from rotating together with the screw rod, further, the tube shell is slidably connected with guide tubes in pairs, and one end of the guide tube is fixedly connected to the mounting plate.

[0009] In order to improve the friction force of the knob surface, further, a plurality of protective ridges are fixedly connected to the surface of the knob, and the plurality of protective ridges are arranged on the knob in a ring shape.

[0010] In order to improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning cotton board on the moored cable, preferably, the driving part includes: a motor fixedly mounted on the mooring box body; wherein a gear ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the tube shell, and a gear meshing with the gear ring is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.
