[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] See also Figure 1-4A drug spraying mechanism for a plant protection drone includes a drone body 1, a medicine box 2, and an adjustment device. The bottom end of the drone body 1 is connected to the medicine box 2, and the lower front end of the medicine box 2 is connected to a U-shaped fixing frame 4 through two groups of connecting rods 3. The adjustment device includes a connecting rod 5 and an electric telescopic rod 6. The fixing frame 4 is scissor-shaped and hinged at one end away from the medicine box 2. A rotating shaft 7 is provided at the center of the several groups of connecting rods 5. The rotating shaft 7 is connected to the side wall of the fixing frame 4. Rotational connection, each two groups of connecting rods 5 are hingedly provided with an adjusting shaft 8 between the upper and lower parts, the adjusting shaft 8 is connected to a slider 9 at one end close to the fixing frame 4, the bottom end of the slider 9 is mounted with a mounting frame 10 by a bolt, the mounting frame 10 is provided with a mounting ring 11 at one end away from the fixing frame 4, and a spray head 12 is installed on each group of the mounting rings 11. The outer wall of one end of the fixing frame 4 is provided with the electric telescopic rod 6, and the output end of the electric telescopic rod 6 passes through the side wall of the fixing frame 4 and the slider 9 at the end. Fixed connection. In this embodiment, the drone body 1 drives the medicine box 2, and the medicine box 2 drives the connected adjustment device and the spray head 12 to spray medicine on crops. When it is necessary to adjust the spacing of the spray heads 12 according to different crops, the electric telescopic rod 6 is started, and the output end of the electric telescopic rod 6 is extended. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 6 drives the slider 9. The connecting rod 5 will be opened at equal distances under the drive of the slider 9. When the connecting rod 5 is opened, the multiple sliders 9 are also opened at equal distances under the drive of the adjustment shaft 8. The position of the rotating shaft 7 is in the center position, and the adjusted spacing is opened with the position of the rotating shaft 7 as the center. The slider 9 drives the mounting frame 10, the mounting frame 10 drives the mounting ring 11, and the mounting ring 11 drives each group of connected spray heads 12, so that the spacing of the spray heads 12 can be adjusted. The spacing of the spray heads 12 can be adjusted according to different crops, and the spraying density can be adjusted, thereby controlling the amount of medicine used on the crops, avoiding excessive or insufficient medicine that will affect the growth of the crops, thereby improving the efficiency and effect of the device in spraying crops.

[0025] In actual use, it is further convenient to adapt to the spacing of each group of spray heads 12. In this embodiment, a pipe 13 is installed between the fixing frame 4 at one end away from the side wall of the fixing frame 4, and a connecting pipe 14 is installed between the pipe 13 and the medicine box 2. The bottom end of the pipe 13 is provided with a plurality of water outlet pipes 15, and the bottom end of the water outlet pipe 15 is provided with a universal telescopic tube 16. The output end of the universal telescopic tube 16 is connected to the top of the spray head 12. When the spacing is adjusted, the spray head 12 drives the universal telescopic tube 16 connected to the top to move and retract its position to avoid the displacement of the pipe 13 caused by movement. The liquid medicine enters the pipe 13 from the medicine box 2 through the connecting pipe 14 through the remote control of the staff, and then flows into each group of water outlet pipes 15 from the pipe 13, and then enters the spray head 12 through each group of universal telescopic tubes 16, and finally is sprayed out by the spray head 12 to realize the spraying work.

[0026] During actual use, it further guides the movement of the slider 9. In this embodiment, a sliding rod 17 is provided between the fixing frames 4 at one end close to the side wall of the fixing frames 4. The sliding rod 17 is slidably connected to several of the sliders 9 and the left and right ends are fixedly connected to the left and right inner walls of the fixing frames 4. When the slider 9 moves, it slides on the sliding rod 17, which guides the movement of the slider 9 and prevents the slider 9 from deviating from the motion trajectory.

[0028] In actual use, in order to further facilitate the addition of liquid medicine, in this embodiment, a medicine feed hopper 19 is provided on the medicine feed pipe 18. Through the medicine feed hopper 19, the medicine can be delivered into the medicine feed pipe 18 more quickly and evenly, thereby improving the efficiency of medicine feeding. The medicine feed hopper 19 can better control the delivery of the medicine, reduce the loss of the medicine, and can also more accurately control the dosage of the medicine to ensure the quality of the medicine and the addition effect.

[0029] During actual use, the medicine liquid is further filtered. In this embodiment, a filter is provided at the bottom end of the medicine inlet hopper 19. The filter filters the medicine liquid during the addition process to prevent particulate matter from entering the medicine box 2 and further clogging the spray head 12, thereby improving the spraying efficiency of the spray head 12.

[0030] During actual use, in order to further prevent foreign matter from entering the medicine box 2 through the medicine feed hopper 19, in this embodiment, a sealing cover 20 is threadedly connected to the top of the medicine feed hopper 19, and the sealing cover 20 seals the medicine feed hopper 19 to prevent foreign matter from entering the medicine box 2 through the medicine feed hopper 19.

[0031] During actual use, the drone body 1 is further facilitated to land smoothly. In this embodiment, the bottom end of the medicine box 2 is connected to two sets of symmetrically designed racks 21. The two sets of symmetrically designed racks 21 facilitate maintaining a safe distance between the fuselage and the ground, so that when the drone body 1 takes off or lands not far from the ground, the fuselage tilts due to unstable factors without causing the propeller to collide with the ground, thereby ensuring the safety of the drone.
