[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A power inspection drone which is convenient for annular adjustment of immersive camera orientation is provided with a drone body for flying, and a quick-release component is installed on the lower side of the drone body;

[0007] It includes: a quick-release plate, slidably connected to the inner surface of the quick-release component, and a locking component is installed on the upper surface of the quick-release component. The locking component forms an elastic clamping mechanism on the quick-release component and uses the elastic clamping mechanism to quickly disassemble and assemble the quick-release plate.

[0042] Embodiment 2: For example Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4Based on the technical solution shown in Embodiment 1, the telescopic structure between the quick-release plate 3 and the fixed plate 10 and the rotation structure between the fixed plate 10 and the fixed ring 13 are further disclosed.

The inner surface of the fixed plate 10 is rotatably connected with a spur gear 11. The outer surface of the spur gear 11 is meshed with an internal gear 12. A nested rotation mechanism is formed between the internal gear 12 and the fixed plate 10. The nested rotation mechanism can synchronously rotate to adjust the rotation of the fixed ring 13 installed thereon by the internal gear 12.

[0044] The quick-release plate 3 and the fixed plate 10 form a telescopic structure through the telescopic assembly 7. A universal joint 8 is installed on the upper surface of the fixed plate 10.

[0046] Embodiment 3: As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 shown in the technical solution, based on Embodiment 2, the control of the device on the fixed ring 13 to form the rotation of the positioning seat 14 is further disclosed. The specific content is as follows:

[0047] The outer surface of the fixed ring 13 in the nested rotation mechanism is nested with the positioning seat 14. The upper and lower sides of the outer surface of the positioning seat 14 are provided with limit blocks 15. The limit blocks 15 are assembled on the upper and lower sides of the outer surface of the fixed plate 10. A card slot 16 is formed on the outer surface of the positioning seat 14. The outer surface of the positioning seat 14 is rotatably connected with a positioning plate 17. A clamping block 18 is installed on the outer side of the positioning plate 17.

[0048] The inner surface of the positioning seat 14 is nested and connected with a nested block 19, and the outer surface of the nested block 19 is rotatably connected with a support seat 20. Moreover, a limit ring 21 is installed on the outer surface of the support seat 20, and the limit ring 21 is nested and slid on the inner surface of the nested block 19. At the same time, a camera 22 is nested and rotatably connected to the outer surface of the support seat 20.

[0049] The positioning seats 14 are arranged at equal angles in the middle of the inner surface of the fixed ring 13. The fixed ring 13 and the spur gear 11 form a meshing and rotating structure through the internal gear 12. The positioning seat 14 and the fixing plate 10 form a limit clamping structure through the limit block 15. The positioning seat 14 and the clamping block 18 form a rotating structure through the positioning plate 17. And the clamping blocks 18 respectively form a limit clamping structure with the positioning seat 14 and the nested block 19.

[0050] The nested block 19 and the support seat 20 form a limit rotating structure through the limit ring 21. The limit ring 21 is embedded and installed on the outer surface of the support seat 20. The support seat 20 and the camera 22 form a rotation. At the same time, the outer surface of the support seat 20 is in an "L" shape structure.

When using the positioning seat 14, the limit block 15 installed can be used in cooperation to prevent the positioning seat 14 from tilting and improve the stability during circular rotation. The positioning seat 14 can form a limit nesting for the nested block 19. Thus, the positioning plate 17 installed on the positioning seat 14 can be flipped, and the clamping block 18 installed on the positioning plate 17 can be effectively clamped in the card slot 16 opened on the positioning seat 14, and the nested block 19 can be clamped. When the nested block 19 is in use, through the built-in motor, the support seat 20 with the limit ring 21 is rotated. And the support seat 20 and the camera 22 can be rotated and adjusted in cooperation with the connected motor, so as to increase the camera range.

[0052] The content not described in detail in this specification belongs to the prior art well known to those skilled in the art.
