[0024] It should be noted that the gas laser sensor 1 in the present invention is installed on the drone through the clamping structure 2, and the drone carries the gas laser sensor 1 to inspect the gas leak on the natural gas pipeline path. When the gas laser sensor 1 in the present invention is installed on the drone, the clamping structure 2 is fixed on the landing gear rod of the drone, and the gas laser sensor 1 is docked with the drone. During the actual operation, the position of the adjustment column 14 is adjusted according to the actual distance of the drone landing gear rod, and the locking screw 15 is loosened so that the adjustment column 14 can be adjusted along the strip on the support rod 13.
