DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0021] See also Figures 1 to 4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a UAV tripod, comprising two mounting rods 1 fixed to the bottom of the UAV, a first telescopic rod 3 is installed on the lower side of the mounting rod 1, a first connecting head 2 is installed between the first telescopic rod 3 and the mounting rod 1, a second connecting head 6 is installed at one end of the first telescopic rod 3, an auxiliary stop structure is installed between the two second connecting heads 6, supporting bottom rods 5 are installed on both sides of the second connecting heads 6, and an end head 9 is installed at the end of the supporting bottom rod 5, a card slot 10 is opened on the end head 9, and a buffer structure is installed on the end head 9.

[0022] In this embodiment, through holes 13 are provided at both ends of the mounting rod 1. The mounting rod 1 is fixedly connected to the drone by bolts, and the through holes 13 correspond to the bolts. A third connecting head 7 is installed between the second connecting head 6 and the supporting bottom rod 5. An insert block 14 is installed between the second connecting head 6 and the third connecting head 7. The first connecting head 2, the second connecting head 6 and the third connecting head 7 are all three-way heads, and the first connecting head 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting rod 1.

[0023] Specifically, when the device needs to be connected to a drone, the mounting rod 1 is placed under the drone, and then a bolt is inserted into the through hole 13, and then the bolt is tightened to the drone to complete the installation of the device.

[0024] Specifically, after the installation is completed, the inclination angle of the first connector 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the first connector 2, thereby adjusting the height of the drone.

[0025] A second telescopic rod 4 is installed between the two second connectors 6, a bent pipe 8 is installed between the second telescopic rod 4 and the second connector 6, and both the first telescopic rod 3 and the second telescopic rod 4 are elastic telescopic rods.

[0026] Specifically, when the drone falls, the supporting bottom rod 5 first contacts the ground. At this time, the ground applies force upward and the drone applies force downward, so that the first telescopic rod 3 is compressed, which can buffer the impact and prevent the drone from contacting the ground.

[0027] When adjusting the distance between the drone and the ground, the first connector 2 is rotated to change the angle of the first telescopic rod 3, and then the bent pipe 8 is replaced, the length of the second telescopic rod 4 is adjusted, and the second telescopic rod 4 is inserted into the bent pipe 8 to adjust the distance between the drone and the ground.

[0028] The auxiliary stopping structure includes a friction head 12, which is located at the lower side of the second telescopic rod 4. The friction head 12 is fixedly connected to the second telescopic rod 4. The buffer structure includes a ball 11 rotatably engaged with the bottom of the end head 9. The lowest point of the ball 11 and the bottom of the friction head 12 are located on the same plane.

[0029] Specifically, when the drone lands obliquely, the drone drives the supporting bottom rod 5 to rub against the ground, and the ball 11 contacts the ground, and the ball 11 rolls, thereby reducing friction. At the same time, the friction head 12 contacts the ground to increase friction. At this time, the drone encounters resistance and can stop, thereby ensuring a smooth landing of the drone.

[0030] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
