[0002] When some engineering projects are carried out, it is necessary to survey the site, etc., but traditional surveying technology can no longer meet current needs. Problems such as difficult preservation of basic control points, difficult measurement of hidden points, large cumulative measurement errors, duplication of work, and low efficiency are emerging one after another. Therefore, people have begun to choose drone surveying. Drone surveying technology is currently subverting traditional surveying methods because of its advantages such as fast and efficient, maneuverable and flexible, and low cost, and has become a "familiar" in the surveying and mapping industry.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the specific embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the specific embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the specific embodiments described are only part of the specific embodiments of the present invention, not all of the specific embodiments. Based on the specific embodiments of the present invention, all other specific embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Reference Figure 1-3 , 4 and 6, a specific embodiment of the present invention provides: a multi-lens surveying and mapping drone, including a body 1, a mounting box 2 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the body 1, a casual installation mechanism 6 is provided inside the mounting box 2, a buffer mechanism 7 is provided at the lower end of the body 1, a slide groove 5 is provided at the front end of the mounting box 2, a sliding block 3 is provided inside the mounting box 2 and is slidably arranged at the slide groove 5, a multi-lens camera 4 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the sliding block 3, and the multi-lens camera 4 can be installed and removed by sliding the sliding block 3 inside the slide groove 5;

[0034] The casual dressing mechanism 6 includes a card column 62, the number of the card column 62 is two, and a card slot 61 is opened on both sides of the interior of the installation box 2 and near its front end. The two card columns 62 are respectively slidably arranged in the corresponding card slots 61. A connecting rod 63 is fixedly provided on one side of the two card columns 62. An annular groove 65 is opened on both sides of the interior of the installation box 2 and on one side of the card slot 61. A rotating ring 66 is sleeved on the two connecting rods 63 and located at the annular groove 65. A first spring 67 is fixedly connected between the two card columns 62 and the rotating ring 66 and located on the connecting rod 63. Through the casual dressing mechanism 6, multiple The lens camera 4 is fast and stable during installation and removal. When the sliding block 3 slides into the inner part of the slide groove 5, the clamping column 62 is subjected to force and the action of the inclined surface, which can make the clamping column 62 move toward the inner part of the clamping groove 61, thereby making the sliding block 3 slide smoothly into the slide groove 5. Then, the clamping column 62 is acted upon by the first spring 67 to probe and limit it, so that the multi-lens camera 4 can be installed in the installation box 2. When the multi-lens camera 4 needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to rotate the rotating handle 64. Since the first spring 67 is connected to the clamping column 62 and the rotating ring 66, the clamping column 62 can rotate the ring when rotating. The two connecting rods 63 are connected to the mounting box 2 at one end and are located on the outside of the mounting box 2. A rotating handle 64 is fixed on one side of the two connecting rods 63 and is located on the outside of the mounting box 2. A rotating handle 64 is fixedly provided on the outside of the installation box 2, which can change the position of the inclined surface of the clamping column 62, so that the multi-lens camera 4 can be installed faster and has stronger stability to be compatible with the flight movement of the body 1. A second spring 68 is fixedly provided inside the installation box 2 and inside the corresponding slide groove 5. The front ends of the two second springs 68 are fixedly provided with a moving plate 69. The front ends of the second springs 68 are fixed with the moving plate 69, so that the clamping column 62 can complete the rotation without being restricted by distance during rotation, and the multi-lens camera 4 can be smoothly disassembled.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 、 2and 5, the buffer mechanism 7 includes support legs 71, and there are multiple support legs 71, and the multiple support legs 71 are respectively fixedly arranged at the four corners of the lower end of the body 1, and the lower ends of the multiple support legs 71 are fixedly provided with support plates 72. The buffer mechanism 7 can provide a certain buffering effect during landing, thereby protecting the body 1 and the multi-lens camera 4 from damage by vibration, ensuring the integrity of the equipment, thereby improving the service life of the drone, and the multiple support plates 72 are fixedly provided with buffer springs 73 near their lower ends, and the lower ends of the multiple buffer springs 73 and located inside the support plates 72 are fixedly provided with grounding blocks 74. The grounding blocks 74 are fixedly provided at the lower ends of the buffer springs 73 and located inside the support plates 72, so that the grounding blocks 74 and the buffer springs 73 can offset the vibrations generated by the body 1 when it lands before the support plates 72 touch the ground, thereby protecting the body 1 and the multi-lens camera 4 from damage by vibration, ensuring the integrity of the equipment.

[0036] Working principle: When the multi-lens mapping drone is used, the sliding block 3 is first slid into the inside of the slide groove 5. However, during the sliding process, the clamping column 62 is subjected to force and the action of the inclined surface, which can make the clamping column 62 move toward the inside of the clamping groove 61, thereby making the sliding block 3 slide smoothly into the slide groove 5. Subsequently, the clamping column 62 is acted upon by the first spring 67 to probe and limit it, so that the multi-lens camera 4 can be installed in the installation box 2. When the multi-lens camera 4 needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to rotate the rotating handle 64. Since the first spring 67 is connected to the clamping column 62 and the rotating ring 66, the clamping column 62 can be rotated when rotating. The rotating ring 66 rotates synchronously inside the ring groove 65, thereby not affecting the retraction effect of the clamping column 62. Then, the sliding block 3 is moved backward by the clamping column 62 and the second spring 68, which can smoothly complete the rotation of the clamping column 62. Then, the sliding block 3 is again disengaged from the slide groove 5 by the inclined surface of the clamping column 62, thereby completing the disassembly work. When the body 1 falls to the ground, the buffer spring 73 acts on the grounding block 74 to move inside the support plate 72, thereby reducing the damage caused by the vibration to the body 1 and the multi-lens camera 4, thereby improving the convenience of use and service life of the drone.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned specific implementation methods, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned specific implementation methods or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
