[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. 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.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 The utility model provides an embodiment: a multi-angle aerial image acquisition instrument for a drone, comprising a drone 1, a connecting sleeve 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drone 1, a mounting rod 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 2, a U-shaped clip 4 is sleeved on the outer wall of the mounting rod 3, a spring 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped clip 4, both sides of the U-shaped clip 4 are fixedly connected with an insertion rod 6, both sides of the connecting sleeve 2 are provided with a limiting groove 7, the outer walls of the two insertion rods 6 are respectively slidably connected to the inner walls of the two limiting grooves 7, the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 2 is sleeved with a connecting sleeve 8, unlocking components are provided on both sides of the connecting sleeve 8, the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to a mounting seat 14, the outer wall of the mounting seat 14 is provided with an angle adjustment component, and sliding grooves 9 are provided on both sides of the top of the connecting sleeve 8.

[0026] Specifically, when installing the data collector, the slide groove 9 can be aligned with the insertion rod 6, and then the insertion rod 6 can be moved along the inner wall of the slide groove 9 and toward the inside of the limit groove 7, so that the U-shaped clip 4 is relatively squeezed, and the spring 5 is squeezed at the same time, so that the spring 5 is compressed to produce a rebound reaction force. When the insertion rod 6 and the installation groove 10 are aligned, the compressed U-shaped clip 4 and spring 5 produce a rebound reaction force, and then push the insertion rod 6 into the inside of the installation groove 10, so as to quickly install the data collector on the bottom of the drone 1, thereby avoiding the trouble of traditional bolt installation and the problem of easy loss of bolts.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 The unlocking assembly includes two mounting grooves 10, the outer walls of the two mounting grooves 10 are respectively opened on both sides of the connecting sleeve 8, the inner wall of each connecting sleeve 8 is slidably connected with a push rod 11, the outer wall of the push rod 11 is fixedly connected with a fixing plate 12, and a spring 2 13 is fixedly connected between the fixing plate 12 and the mounting groove 10, and the middle part of the spring 2 13 is sleeved on the outside of the push rod 11.

[0028] Specifically, when removing the collector, the push rods 11 on both sides can be pressed relative to each other to make the fixing plate 12 move toward the direction of the limit groove 7, so that the fixing plate 12 drives the spring 2 13 to stretch, and at the same time, the insertion rod 6 is pushed into the interior of the limit groove 7, and the connecting sleeve 8 is pulled downward to separate the connecting sleeve 8 from the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 2. After the separation is completed, the push rod 11 can be released. At this time, under the action of the spring 2 13, the fixing plate 12 is reset, so that the aerial image collector can be quickly separated from the outer shell of the drone 1, thereby improving the maintenance rate of the collector and making the device more practical.

[0029] The outer wall of the insertion rod 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the installation groove 10 .

[0030] Specifically, at this time, the collector is fixed on the bottom of the drone 1.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 and 5 The angle adjustment includes an arc groove 15, the outer wall of the arc groove 15 is opened on the outer wall of the mounting seat 14, the inner wall of the arc groove 15 is slidably connected to a limit rod 16, the other end of the limit rod 16 is fixedly connected to a mounting sleeve 17, the middle part of the mounting sleeve 17 is fixedly connected to a motor 18, the outer wall of the mounting seat 14 is rotatably connected to a movable frame 19, the driving end of the motor 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable frame 19, the outer wall of the mounting seat 14 is fixedly connected to a fixed seat 21, the inner wall of the fixed seat 21 is rotatably connected to an electric telescopic rod 22, and the other end of the electric telescopic rod 22 is rotatably connected to an organic box 20.

[0032] Specifically, when the data collector needs to be adjusted at multiple angles, the motor 18 can be started so that the motor 18 drives the movable frame 19 to rotate left and right. When the vertical angle adjustment is required, the electric telescopic rod 22 can be started so that the electric telescopic rod 22 drives the data collector to adjust the angle in the vertical direction, and at the same time drives the limit rod 16 to slide on the inner wall of the arc groove 15, thereby limiting it, thereby achieving the purpose of multi-angle adjustment of the data collector.

[0033] The outer wall of the housing 20 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable frame 19 .

[0034] Reference Figure 5 A plurality of ventilation slots 1 23 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the machine box 20 , and a plurality of ventilation slots 24 are provided on the left and right sides of the machine box 20 .

[0035] Specifically, when the collector is adjusting its angle, the resistance of air and wind speed will pass through the inside of ventilation slot 1 23 and ventilation slot 2 24, thereby reducing the impact of resistance on the collector, thereby improving the smooth completion of the angle adjustment of the collector and helping to increase the service life of the collector.

[0036] A camera 25 is disposed on the outer wall of the housing 20 .

[0037] Working principle: When installing the aerial image collector, you only need to insert the connecting sleeve 8 into the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 2 so that the slide groove 9 and the insertion rod 6 are on the same horizontal line. As the connecting sleeve 8 moves up on the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 2, the insertion rod 6 enters the inner wall of the slide groove 9, and then gradually enters the interior of the connecting sleeve 2 under the action of the inner wall of the slide groove 9. Then, after the limit groove 7 is aligned with the installation groove 10, under the rebound action of the U-shaped clip 4 and the spring 5, the insertion rod 6 enters the interior of the installation groove 10, and then the connecting sleeve 8 is fixed to the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 2, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly installing the collector. Later, when using the collector, when adjusting the collector at multiple angles, the motor 18 can be started to drive the movable frame 19 to rotate left and right. When it is necessary to adjust the upper and lower angles, the motor 18 can be started to drive the movable frame 19 to rotate left and right. When the angle of the collector is adjusted, the electric telescopic rod 22 can be started, so that the electric telescopic rod 22 drives the collector to adjust the angle in the up and down directions, and at the same time drives the limit rod 16 to slide on the inner wall of the arc groove 15, so as to limit it. When the collector adjusts the angle, the resistance of the air and wind speed will pass through the inside of the ventilation groove 1 23 and the ventilation groove 2 24, so as to reduce the influence of the resistance on the collector. When the collector needs to be removed from the bottom of the drone, the push rods 11 on both sides of the connecting sleeve 8 can be pressed to make the fixing plate 12 move on the inner wall of the mounting groove 10, and then the spring 2 13 is stretched, so as to push the insertion rod 6 out from the inner wall of the mounting groove 10, so as to contact and fix it, and at the same time pull the connecting sleeve 8 downward, so as to separate the connecting sleeve 2 and the connecting sleeve 8.
