[0022] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Embodiment 1, a warning ball is installed on a drone, comprising an upper hemisphere 1, a lower hemisphere 2 and a drone body, and is characterized in that:

[0024] The upper hemisphere 1 and the lower hemisphere 2 are hingedly arranged, and an upper connecting plate 4 and a lower connecting plate 5 are fixedly connected to the upper hemisphere 1 and the lower hemisphere 2 respectively;

[0025] The upper connecting plate 4 is provided with an upper auxiliary plate 6, the lower connecting plate 5 is provided with a lower auxiliary plate 7, the upper auxiliary plate 6 is slidably connected with a movable clamping block 8, the movable clamping block 8 is driven by a power device, and the lower auxiliary plate 7 is provided with a fixed clamping block 9 corresponding to the movable clamping block 8;

[0026] A hinge rod 16 is hinged between the upper auxiliary plate 6 and the movable clamping block 8;

[0027] The fixed clamp block 9 and the movable clamp block 8 are both provided with a wire clamp block 10, and the wire clamp block is provided with a placement groove 11, and a cable 12 is arranged in the placement groove 11;

[0028] The lower hemisphere 2 is provided with a fixing clamp ring, and the drone body is provided with a buckle that cooperates with the fixing clamp ring;

[0029] The power device includes a sliding groove 13 provided on the fixed clamping block 9, the sliding groove 13 is slidably connected to the movable clamping block, a lead screw 14 is rotatably connected in the sliding groove 13, the lead screw 14 is threadedly connected to the movable clamping block, a motor 15 is fixedly connected to the lower connecting plate 5, the lead screw 14 is driven by the motor 15, and the motor 15 is electrically connected to the controller;

[0030] The clamping block 10 is made of rubber material, and an anti-slip pad is provided in the placement groove 11;

[0031] One end of the upper hemisphere 1 and the lower hemisphere 2 are hinged via a pin shaft, and the other end is provided with a positive armature and a negative armature.

[0032] When in use, the motor 15 is driven to make the upper hemisphere 1 and the lower hemisphere 2 in an open state, and the buckle provided on the drone body cooperates with the fixed buckle ring to tighten the wire and install the warning ball on the wire.
