[0031] The application discloses a surveying and mapping unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0032] With reference to Figure 1 The surveying and mapping unmanned aerial vehicle comprises an unmanned aerial vehicle body 1, a connecting block 2 and a universal shaping pipe 3, wherein the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1 has at least three arms 11. In the embodiment, the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1 is taken as an example of a four-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle, that is, the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1 has four arms 11. A support frame 4 and a surveying and mapping device 5 are bolted to the belly of the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1, and the surveying and mapping device 5 is located in the support frame 4.

[0033] With reference to Figure 2 The two ends of the connecting block 2 are detachably connected to adjacent arms 11. It can be understood that the four-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle has two connecting blocks 2, and the six-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle has three connecting blocks 2. The detachable connection between the connecting block 2 and the arm 11 can be bolted connection, buckle connection, or ribbon binding, etc. The connecting block 2 of the application adopts the quick disassembly and assembly mode of buckle connection, and the connecting block 2 can be made by 3D printing.

[0034] With reference to Figure 2 Each arm 11 corresponds to a universal shaping pipe 3, and the universal shaping pipe 3 is threadedly connected to the connecting block 2. The connecting block 2 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes 21 along the length direction of the connecting block 2, and the threaded holes 21 are used for threadedly connecting the universal shaping pipe 3. The end of the universal shaping pipe 3 away from the connecting block 2 is threadedly connected with a pointed end 6. The universal shaping pipe 3 is used for supporting the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1 away from the ground, and the pointed end 6 is used for inserting into the ground.

[0035] With reference to Figure 2 It is worth noting that the structure of the universal shaping pipe 3 is related to the weight of the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1. When the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1 is a small or medium-sized unmanned aerial vehicle, the universal shaping pipe 3 can be a plastic universal bamboo joint pipe, or a metal universal pipe, etc. which is light in weight and has certain flexibility and supporting force. When the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1 is a large unmanned aerial vehicle, the structure of the universal shaping pipe 3 comprises a ball-type holder and an extension pipe. The ball-type holder is threadedly connected to the connecting block 2, and the extension pipe is composed of a plurality of joint pipes which are threadedly connected to each other, and the extension pipe is threadedly connected to the ball-type holder. The purpose of such design is that the pressure on the universal shaping pipe 3 is different due to different weights. According to the weight of the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1, the appropriate universal shaping pipe 3 is selected, a plurality of universal shaping pipes 3 are used to support the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1, and the effect of stable and safe landing on different terrains is achieved.

[0036] With reference to Figure 3 and Figure 4, the connecting block 2 is provided with a storage groove 22 and a placing groove 23, a plurality of extension blocks 7 are placed in the storage groove 22 of the connecting block 2, and the two ends of the extension block 7 are respectively connected with the connecting block 2 and the universal shaping pipe 3 through threads. The two ends of the extension block 7 are respectively provided with an inner thread and an outer thread, the inner thread is engaged with the outer thread, and the universal shaping pipe 3 at the required position can be extended alone or in combination by using the extension block 7. The support frame 4 is detachably connected with a foot plate 8, the placing groove 23 is used for accommodating the foot plate 8, so that the overall structure is compact, and the foot plate 8 can be taken out and installed on the support frame 4 in time, and the foot plate 8 is used for increasing the contact area of the support frame 4 with the ground. The purpose of designing the foot plate 8 is that when taking off on the sand ground, the foot plate 8 is installed to increase the contact area of the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1 with the ground, and the risk of the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1 sinking into the ground is reduced, and the universal shaping pipe 3 and the sharp end 6 are supplemented to limit the risk of the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1 tilting when sinking into the ground.

[0037] The implementation principle of the surveying and mapping unmanned aerial vehicle in the embodiment of the application is that surveying and mapping personnel judge whether the extension block 7 and the foot plate 8 need to be installed according to the ground conditions, so that the horizontal state of the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1 is adjusted by using the supporting effect of the universal shaping pipe 3 in the case that the ground conditions are not ideal, to ensure the stability and safety of taking off. When landing, the sharp end 6 of the universal shaping pipe 3 can be inserted into the ground to provide additional support and stability for the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1, effectively reducing the risk of the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1 tilting or sinking into the ground, thereby improving the problem that the surveying and mapping unmanned aerial vehicle is easy to tilt or sink into the uneven ground in the landing stage, and improving the landing stability and safety of the surveying and mapping unmanned aerial vehicle on the variable terrain.
