[0021] Referring to Figure 3 , the connection mechanism 2 includes a connection frame 201. The connection frame 201 is fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the drone 101. A jack 202 is opened inside the connection frame 201. A plug rod 203 is fixedly installed on the top of the chassis 103. The plug rod 203 is arranged in an L shape. A limiting component 204 is inserted into the top of the connection frame 201.

[0022] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, by setting the connection mechanism 2, it is convenient for the user to initially connect the chassis 103 to the bottom of the drone 101 by inserting the plug rod 203 into the jack 202 inside the connection frame 201, improving the convenience of installation.

[0023] Referring to Figure 3, the limiting component 204 includes a limiting hole 204a which is opened inside the connecting frame 201 and the inserting rod 203. There are several limiting holes 204a which are equally spaced. A limiting rod 204b is inserted into the limiting hole 204a. A synchronous bar 204c is fixedly installed at the top of the limiting rod 204b, and a downward pressing component 204d is fixedly installed at the top of the synchronous bar 204c.

[0024] As a technical optimization scheme of the present utility model, by setting the limiting component 204, the limiting rod 204b can limit the inserting rod 203 inserted into the inserting hole 202 through the limiting hole 204a, avoiding the situation that the chassis 103 and the drone 101 fall off, and ensuring the stability of their installation.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 , the downward pressing component 204d includes a downward pressing block 204d-1 which is fixedly installed at the top of the synchronous bar 204c. A downward pressing plate 204d-2 is fixedly installed inside the downward pressing block 204d-1. A downward pressing groove 204d-3 for cooperating with the downward pressing plate 204d-2 is opened inside the drone 101.

[0026] As a technical optimization scheme of the present utility model, by setting the downward pressing component 204d, the downward pressing plate 204d-2 drives the downward pressing block 204d-1 to press down through the downward pressing groove 204d-3, so that the downward pressing block 204d-1 can conveniently drive the synchronous bars 204c on both sides to press down synchronously, ensuring the stability of the limit.

[0027] Reference Figure 3 , a screw sleeve 204d-4 is fixedly installed at the right end of the downward pressing plate 204d-2. A screw rod 204d-5 is threadedly installed inside the screw sleeve 204d-4. The bottom end of the screw rod 204d-5 is movably installed with the downward pressing groove 204d-3.

[0028] As a technical optimization scheme of the present utility model, by setting the screw sleeve 204d-4 and the screw sleeve 204d-4, it is convenient for the user to rotate the screw rod 204d-5, so that the screw rod 204d-5 drives the screw sleeve 204d-4 to move up and down, and the screw sleeve 204d-4 synchronously drives the downward pressing plate 204d-2 to press down, ensuring the stability of the installation.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 , a rotating handle 204d-5a is fixedly installed at the top of the screw rod 204d-5.

[0030] As a technical optimization solution of the present utility model, by setting the rotary handle 204d-5a, it is convenient for the user to drive the screw rod 204d-5 to rotate by turning the rotary handle 204d-5a, improving the convenience of rotating the screw rod 204d-5.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 , a reinforcing rib 204d-5b is fixedly installed at the bottom of the insertion rod 203.

[0032] As a technical optimization solution of the present utility model, by setting the reinforcing rib 204d-5b, the reinforcing rib 204d-5b can reinforce the connection between the insertion rod 203 and the chassis 103, ensuring the stability of the connection between the chassis 103 and the jack 202 through the insertion rod 203.

[0033] The working principle and usage process of the present utility model: When in use, when it is necessary to detect the pipeline, the chassis 103 is inserted into the jack 202 inside the connecting frame 201 through the insertion rod 203 for positioning, and then by rotating the screw rod 204d-5, the screw rod 204d-5 drives the nut sleeve 204d-4 to move downward, the nut sleeve 204d-4 drives the lower pressing plate 204d-2 to move downward, and the lower pressing block 204d-1 can play a limiting role on the nut sleeve 204d-4 to prevent the nut sleeve 204d-4 from only rotating without moving, so that the lower pressing plate 204d-2 drives the lower pressing block 204d-1 to press downward, the lower pressing block 204d-1 drives the synchronous strip 204c to press downward, the synchronous strip 204c drives a plurality of limiting rods 204b to insert into the limiting holes 204a, the limiting rods 204b limit the insertion rod 203 and the connecting frame 201 to prevent the chassis 103 from falling off the unmanned aerial vehicle 101, ensuring the stability of the detection, and then the unmanned aerial vehicle 101 detects the pipeline through the detector inside the chassis 103. The detector emits electromagnetic waves of a specific frequency, and when these waves encounter underground pipelines, they will be reflected. After the detector receives the reflected signal, it can calculate the approximate position and depth of the pipeline, and then transmit it to the display device 105 for recording, thus achieving the effect of replacing manual detection.

[0034] To sum up: For the unmanned aerial vehicle used for detecting the buried depth of pipelines, by setting the connecting mechanism 2, the unmanned aerial vehicle 101 and the chassis 103 are conveniently installed, and the unmanned aerial vehicle 101 drives the detector 104 and the display device 105 inside the chassis 103 to detect the pipeline, thus achieving the effect of replacing manual detection, and solving the problems of the current method which is manual detection. Due to the long pipeline length and large quantity, a large amount of human resources are required for detection, resulting in low detection efficiency, high investment in human resources, high labor costs, high management costs, and high costs for vehicles and fuel.
