Two brackets are fixedly installed at the bottom of the installation frame. The installation bin is arranged below the installation frame, and the two fixed shafts respectively rotatably penetrate through the adjacent brackets. A camera is fixedly embedded on the outer wall of the installation bin, and the camera is used for taking images;

[0010] It further includes a first adjustment component, which is used to adjust the horizontal angle of the camera;

[0011] It further includes a second adjustment component, which is used to adjust the pitching angle of the camera;

[0012] It further includes a ring-shaped electromagnet sleeved on the outer wall of the driving rotating shaft. The ring-shaped electromagnet is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed plate and is used for switching the use of the first adjusting component and the second adjusting component.

[0013] In a possible design, the first adjusting component includes a second gear seat fixedly installed at the top of the mounting frame. The second gear seat is sleeved on the outer wall of the driving rotating shaft. Two convex strips are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the driving rotating shaft, and both convex strips are located near the bottom end of the driving rotating shaft. A gear block is slidably connected to the outer wall of the driving rotating shaft through the two convex strips. The gear block cooperates with the second gear seat to complete the connection between the mounting frame and the driving rotating shaft, so that the driving rotating shaft drives the mounting frame to rotate synchronously. A servo motor is fixedly installed at the top of the fixed plate, and one end of the output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the top end of the driving rotating shaft. The servo motor is used to provide the power for the driving rotating shaft to rotate.

[0014] In a possible design, the second adjusting component includes a fourth synchronous pulley fixedly installed on the outer wall of one of the fixed shafts. L-shaped brackets are fixedly installed on both sides of the mounting frame. One of the L-shaped brackets is rotatably penetrated by a first rotating shaft on one side and is rotatably penetrated by a second rotating shaft at the top. A third synchronous pulley is fixedly installed at one end of the first rotating shaft. The third synchronous pulley and the fourth synchronous pulley are connected by a synchronous belt. A second bevel gear is fixedly installed at the other end of the first rotating shaft. A second synchronous pulley is fixedly installed at the top end of the second rotating shaft. A first bevel gear is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the second rotating shaft. The first bevel gear and the second bevel gear are meshed with each other.

After the flying device takes off, the user can control the device to adjust the shooting angle of the camera, thereby achieving all-round aerial photography. When the user needs to adjust the horizontal angle of the camera, the user can energize the annular electromagnet, change the magnetic poles of the annular electromagnet and make the annular electromagnet repel the magnet block at the top of the gear block. At this time, the repulsive force can push the gear block downward, and the gear block engages with the second gear holder. At this time, the servo motor is started, and the servo motor can drive the driving shaft to rotate, and then the driving shaft can drive the mounting bracket to rotate synchronously, completing the adjustment of the horizontal angle of the camera. When the user needs to adjust the pitching angle of the camera, the user needs to pass a reverse current through the annular electromagnet. At this time, the direction of the magnetic poles of the annular electromagnet changes, and the annular electromagnet can attract the magnet block at the top of the gear block, and the gear block will also rise and complete the engagement with the first gear holder. Then the servo motor is started again, and the driving shaft can drive the first gear holder and the first synchronous wheel to rotate. After a series of transmissions of the first synchronous wheel and the second synchronous wheel, the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear, and the third synchronous wheel and the fourth synchronous wheel, the mounting bin can drive the camera to rotate, thereby completing the adjustment of the pitching angle of the camera. The device has a clever structure and can achieve various adjustments of the camera without too much driving power, with good use effects and low manufacturing costs.

[0043] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principles and wiring methods of the camera 6, the servo motor 7, and the annular electromagnet 9 are common knowledge, and they all belong to conventional means or well-known common sense. Therefore, they will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can make arbitrary selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0044] The working principle and usage process of this technical solution are as follows: When in use, the user can install the device at the bottom of a flying device such as a drone. After the flying device takes off, the user can control the device to adjust the shooting angle of the camera 6, thereby achieving all-round aerial photography. When the user needs to adjust the horizontal angle of the camera 6, the user can energize the annular electromagnet 9 to change the magnetic poles of the annular electromagnet 9 and make the annular electromagnet 9 repel the magnet block at the top of the gear block 11. At this time, the repulsive force can push the gear block 11 downward, and the gear block 11 engages with the second gear seat 12. At this time, the servo motor 7 is started, and the servo motor 7 can drive the driving rotating shaft 8 to rotate, and then the driving rotating shaft 8 can drive the mounting bracket 3 to rotate synchronously, completing the adjustment of the horizontal angle of the camera 6. When the user needs to adjust the pitching angle of the camera 6, the user needs to pass a reverse current through the annular electromagnet 9.
