[0039] When the camera 18 is impacted during the landing process of the unmanned aircraft body 1, the bottom plate 29 will push the sliding block 20. The sliding block 20 will drive the rotating rod 19 to rotate. At the same time, the sliding block 20 will compress the second spring 21. Under the action of the second spring 21, the impact force received by the bottom plate 29 will be absorbed, thereby protecting the camera 18 and reducing the impact on the outside of the camera 18, so as to extend the service life of the camera 18. When it is necessary to clean the lens of the camera 18, start the cylinder 24. The cylinder 24 will drive the moving plate 25 to move. The moving plate 25 will drive the second telescopic rod 26. The second telescopic rod 26 will drive the brush 28 to move, so as to clean the lens of the camera 18.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.
