Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of UAV gimbal devices, in particular to a foldable fixing frame for a UAV gimbal for atmospheric monitoring environment. Background Art

[0002] The application of UAVs in atmospheric monitoring mainly realizes real-time monitoring of various parameters in the atmosphere by carrying various sensors. These sensors include but are not limited to gas sensors, meteorological sensors, particulate matter sensors, infrared cameras, etc., which are used to measure various parameters such as atmospheric temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, particulate matter concentration, and gas composition. By carrying these sensors, UAVs can achieve all-round and real-time monitoring of the atmospheric environment without the need for manual construction of observation stations, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of monitoring.

[0003] The camera used for monitoring needs to be installed on the UAV gimbal. The gimbal is a supporting device in photographic equipment and needs to be suspended under the UAV. Since the gimbal is large in size, it is not convenient to carry and transport. In addition, the orientation angle of the camera installed on the current UAV for atmospheric environment monitoring is fixed and cannot automatically adjust the orientation of the camera. When different angles of pictures need to be taken, the direction of the UAV needs to be adjusted to take pictures, which is troublesome to operate. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize and improve the gimbal for installing the camera to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] According to the above existing technical problems, the utility model provides a foldable fixing frame for a UAV gimbal for atmospheric monitoring environment. By designing a folding telescopic frame to realize the connection between the mounting plate and the mounting box, the overall volume can be reduced, making it convenient to carry and transport. In addition, a first rotating mechanism and a second rotating mechanism are added to adjust the orientation of the camera, improving the shooting effect and convenience.
