[0022] Specifically, when the unmanned aerial vehicle falls into water, the trigger mechanism 6 is triggered to puncture the compressed gas cylinder 5, and the gas in the compressed gas cylinder 5 enters the first air bag 3 and the second air bag 4 through the air passages (61 and 62) on both sides, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle floats on the water surface. Therefore, the trigger mechanism physically triggers the compressed gas cylinder, without the need for electric control equipment, avoiding the problem that the electric control equipment lacks power or is not sealed in place, resulting in the failure of the unmanned aerial vehicle water-landing floating, and adopting the double air bag design, reducing the carrying capacity of a single interface, the whole equipment not only has simple structure, but also has low cost and high reliability.
