The drone may even land on the water surface and sink into the water, causing damage to the drone. Therefore, a drone tripod is proposed, which can provide a certain degree of shock protection for the drone tripod and at the same time enable the drone to land on the water surface without sinking into the water.

[0023] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0024] In order to provide a certain degree of anti-seismic protection for the drone tripod, and at the same time to prevent the drone from sinking into the water when landing on the water, as an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the drone tripod of the present invention includes a tripod shell 1, wherein a cavity 14 is formed inside the tripod shell 1, and the inner bottom of the tripod shell 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of a second spring 10. A plurality of second springs 10 are provided, and the top ends of the plurality of second springs 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of a buffer plate 9, and the buffer plate 9 is movably arranged inside the tripod shell 1;
[0025] A mounting plate 4 is fixedly installed inside the tripod shell 1 . The mounting plate 4 is located directly above the buffer plate 9 . A mounting groove 8 is provided at the center of the mounting plate 4 . The mounting groove 8 is used for mounting the tripod body 2 .
[0026] During use, when the drone lands on the ground, the buffer plate 9 and the second spring 10 will apply downward pressure, and the second spring 10 will give the drone an upward elastic force to reduce the impact of landing, which can provide a certain degree of shock protection for the drone when landing.
[0027] The present invention also includes that a groove 12 is formed at the bottom end of the tripod shell 1 , and an air bag 11 is fixedly installed inside the groove 12 .
[0028] During use, when the drone lands on the water surface, due to the presence of the cavity 14 inside the tripod shell 1, when the bottom of the tripod shell 1 touches the water surface, it is equivalent to a small boat that can hold the drone on the water surface. Combined with the setting of the airbag 11, the buoyancy of the tripod shell 1 is enhanced, allowing the drone to land on the water surface without sinking.
[0029] The present invention also includes that the inner wall of the cavity 14 is movably connected to the limit block 3, and the limit block 3 is provided with multiple pieces, and one end of the multiple limit blocks 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 7, and the side of the multiple connecting plates 7 away from the limit block 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the first spring 5, and the first spring 5 is provided with multiple pieces.
[0030] This new use also includes that the other end of the plurality of first springs 5 away from the limit block 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the spring cavity 6, and the spring cavity 6 is opened on the upper part of the inner wall of the cavity 14, and the cavity 14 is provided with multiple locations.
[0031] During use, when the tripod body 2 of the drone needs to be installed into the mounting slot 8 of the mounting plate 4, the tripod body 2 is aligned with the mounting slot 8 and pressed downward. During the downward pressing process, since the top of one end of the limit block 3 is arranged in an arc-shaped structure, the tripod body 2 will press the multiple limit blocks 3 toward their respective spring cavities 6 until the tripod body 2 passes through the limit block 3 and can be placed in the mounting slot 8. At this time, the limit block 3 will be bounced back to its original position by the elastic force of the first spring 5, thereby limiting the tripod body 2.
[0032] It should be noted that the plurality of limit blocks 3 are arranged opposite to each other in groups of two, and the top end surface of the limit block 3 away from the first spring 5 is arranged in an arc shape.
[0033] The present invention also includes that the bottom end of the tripod shell 1 is provided with a supporting leg 13, and the supporting leg 13 is provided in multiple locations.
[0034] When in use, the legs 13 can raise the height of the tripod shell 1 to prevent the airbag 11 from rubbing against the ground and being damaged.
[0035] When the present invention is in use, it is first necessary to install the tripod body 2 of the drone into the mounting groove 8 of the mounting plate 4, and align the tripod body 2 with the mounting groove 8 and press it downward. During the downward pressing process, since the top of one end of the limit block 3 is arranged in an arc-shaped structure, the tripod body 2 will press the multiple limit blocks 3 toward the direction of their respective spring chambers 6 until the tripod body 2 passes through the limit block 3 and can be placed in the mounting groove 8. At this time, the limit block 3 will be rebounded to its original position by the elastic force of the first spring 5, and then the tripod body 2 can be limited. When the drone lands, the drone will pass through the tripod body 2 The buffer plate 9 applies downward pressure, and the buffer plate 9 applies downward pressure to the second spring 10. The second spring 10 will give the buffer plate 9 and the tripod body 2 an upward elastic force to slow down the impact caused by the descent, which can provide a certain degree of shock protection for the drone during landing. When the drone lands on the water, due to the presence of the cavity 14 inside the tripod shell 1, when the bottom of the tripod shell 1 touches the water surface, it is equivalent to a small boat that can hold the drone on the water surface. Combined with the setting of the airbag 11, the buoyancy of the tripod shell 1 is enhanced, allowing the drone to land on the water surface without sinking.
