[0020] In this embodiment: the load compartment structure 3 includes a load compartment 301 located below the fixed block 2, and two mounting blocks 302 are fixedly installed on the top of the load compartment 301. The cross-section of the mounting block 302 is a "cross" shape, and a mounting groove is opened inside the fixed block 2 for the mounting block 302 to slide left and right.
[0021] During specific use: the mounting block 302 and the fixing block 2 facilitate the disassembly and assembly between the load compartment 301 and the pan / tilt head 1 to achieve multiple uses of one device.
[0022] In this embodiment, an insert rod 303 is slidably installed between the fixing block 2 and the mounting block 302 , screw rods 304 are fixedly installed at both ends of the insert rod 303 , and a locking nut is threadedly sleeved on the screw rod 304 .
[0023] During specific use: the insert rod 303 can fix the mounting block 302 and the fixing block 2 for a second time, while the screw rod 304 and the locking nut can fix the position of the insert rod 303 .
[0024] In this embodiment: a hatch 305 is provided on the outer wall of the side where the two load compartments 301 are away from each other, a rotating block 306 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the hatch 305, a rotating groove for the rotating block 306 to rotate is opened inside the load compartment 301, a rotating shaft 307 is fixedly installed inside the rotating block 306, both ends of the rotating shaft 307 are rotatably connected to the load compartment 301, a torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft 307, and both ends of the torsion spring are fixedly connected to the rotating block 306 and the load compartment 301 respectively, and a handle groove 308 is opened on the side wall of the hatch 305.
[0025] Specific use: When you need to store items, you can open the hatch 305 through the handle groove 308. At this time, the rotating block 306 rotates around the rotating shaft 307 and tightens the torsion spring. When the items are stored, release the external force on the hatch 305. The torsion spring drives the hatch 305 to automatically reset and seal the load compartment 301, which is convenient for taking and placing items.
[0026] In this embodiment: the energy storage control module 4 is composed of an energy storage battery and a PLC controller, wherein the PLC controller is electrically connected to the energy storage battery, the drive motor 5 and the camera module 8.

[0029] During specific use: the fixing bolts 10 can dock the connecting column 9 with the drone to fix the gimbal 1 and its components at the bottom of the drone.
[0030] Working principle: When in use, the gimbal 1 and its components are installed on the bottom of the drone through the fixing bolts 10, and the mounting block 302 is slid into the mounting slot opened inside the fixing block 2, and then the insertion rod 303 is inserted between the mounting block 302 and the fixing block 2, and the locking bolt is screwed on the screw 304 to fix the load compartment 301 and the gimbal 1. When it is necessary to store items, the cabin door 305 can be opened through the handle slot 308. At this time, the rotating block 306 rotates around the rotating shaft 307 and tightens the torsion spring. When the items are stored, the cabin door is released. The torsion spring drives the hatch 305 to automatically reset and seal the payload compartment 301 by the external force of 305. By combining the payload compartment 301 with the camera module 8, one aircraft can complete multiple tasks by taking off, and multiple existing single modules are integrated into one module, which is more convenient to use. For example, when the drone detects that the person to be rescued needs water or food in an uninhabited area, the water or food can be put into the payload compartment 301, and then the drone can deliver it to the person to be rescued. Compared with the traditional method of first detecting and then delivering water or food by the rescuer, the speed is much faster.
