Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of camera module adjustment, in particular to an adjustment structure for a drone camera module. Background Technique
[0002] An unmanned aerial vehicle, abbreviated as "drone" and with the English abbreviation "UAV", is an unpiloted aircraft controlled by a radio remote control device and a self - contained program control device, or is operated completely or intermittently autonomously by an on - vehicle computer.
[0003] In the utility model patent application publication specification CN213871910U in China, a sliding adjustment structure for a camera used in a drone is disclosed, including a fixed frame. A fixed sliding groove is opened inside the fixed frame. A driving motor is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed sliding groove. The output end of the driving motor passing through the fixed sliding groove is fixedly connected to a fixed threaded rod. A moving seat is rotationally connected to the surface of the fixed threaded rod through a thread. A connecting bar is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving seat. A sliding seat is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting bar. A sliding rod is slidably connected inside the sliding seat, and one end of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to the fixed frame. By setting the driving motor, the rotating motor and the sliding seat, it is convenient for the staff to adjust the position according to the actual required height and angle, avoiding unclear shooting caused by angle and height problems and thus affecting normal use. However, the main body of this device uses two sliding rods and a fixed threaded rod, which increases the weight of the device, further increases the take - off weight of the drone, and thus reduces the endurance of the drone. For this reason, we propose an adjustment structure for a drone camera module. Content of the Utility Model
