Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) accessory assembly equipment, in particular to a UAV surveying and mapping camera mounting bracket. Background Art

[0002] A drone, also known as an unmanned aircraft, is an aircraft that can fly autonomously or be remotely controlled by a ground station without the need for a human pilot on board. A mapping camera is an advanced imaging device designed specifically for geographic information data collection. It is usually installed on drones, airplanes, or other mobile platforms to capture high-resolution images of the ground. The mapping camera is installed on the bottom of the drone through a mounting bracket. Depending on the model of the drone, the function of the mounting bracket varies. Some mounting brackets are fixed to the camera, while others guide the mapping camera and protect the connection between the mapping camera and the drone to prevent foreign objects from entering or impacting, which may cause the installation angle of the mapping camera to change, thereby avoiding abnormal mapping data.

[0003] The existing mounting frame is basically composed of a mounting frame. The top of the surveying and mapping camera is moved into the mounting frame, and then the staff aligns the surveying and mapping camera with the threaded holes at the bottom of the drone. The staff uses tools to tighten the bolts to complete the installation of the surveying and mapping camera on the drone. The mounting frame protects the connection between the surveying and mapping camera and the drone to prevent connection problems caused by collisions with foreign objects. However, when installing the surveying and mapping camera, the staff needs to manually support the surveying and mapping camera until the bolts are tightened to complete the assembly of the surveying and mapping camera. This situation reduces the assembly speed of the surveying and mapping camera and reduces the assembly efficiency of the staff to a certain extent. Utility Model Content
