Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0028] like Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, this application provides a drone camera protection device, including: a body 1, a camera body 3 disposed at the bottom of the body 1, a glass cover 2 disposed on the body 1, an adjustment component disposed on the glass cover 2, the adjustment component including a mounting plate 4 disposed on the glass cover 2, a push rod 17 disposed on the mounting plate 4, a first cover plate 5 disposed on the push rod 17, and a second cover plate 6 disposed on the first cover plate 5, the adjustment component being used to seal the bottom of the glass cover 2.
[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, the adjustment assembly also includes a connecting block 7 disposed on the mounting plate 4. One end of the second cover plate 6 is rotatably disposed on the connecting block 7. By setting the connecting block 7, the second cover plate 6 can rotate around the connecting block 7 as the center when it moves, thereby limiting the position of the second cover plate 6.
[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a hinge 9 is provided at one end of the second cover plate 6, and the other end of the hinge 9 is provided on the first cover plate 5. This device is provided with two sets of hinges 9, and the hinges 9 are located at both ends of the connection between the second cover plate 6 and the first cover plate 5, which can effectively prevent the hinges 9 from affecting the shooting line of the camera body 3.
[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, a T-shaped groove 16 is provided on the mounting plate 4, and a T-shaped block 18 is movably arranged inside the T-shaped groove 16. The T-shaped groove 16 can limit the movement of the T-shaped block 18, so that its movement direction can be kept stable.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, a slide bar 15 is provided inside the T-shaped groove 16, and a T-shaped block 18 is provided outside the slide bar 15. A spring 14 is provided at one end of the T-shaped block 18, and one end of the spring 14 is provided inside the T-shaped groove 16. Through the cooperation of the slide bar 15 and the spring 14, the movement speed of the T-shaped block 18 inside the T-shaped groove 16 can be accelerated.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, a sealing strip 13 is provided on the mounting plate 4, a rotating block 19 is provided on the top of the T-shaped block 18, one end of the first cover plate 5 is rotatably mounted on the rotating block 19, and a push rod 17 is provided on one side of the T-shaped block 18. Through the push rod 17, it is convenient for the staff to open and close the second cover plate 6 and the first cover plate 5.
[0034] The mounting plate 4 is provided with a fixing component, which includes a fixing block 8 provided on the mounting plate 4. The fixing block 8 is provided with a fixing groove 20. The fixing component is used to fix the push rod 17.
[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the fixing assembly also includes a square telescopic rod 11 set at the bottom of the fixing block 8. The mounting plate 4 is provided with a placement groove 12 corresponding to the fixing block 8. The fixing block 8 is movably set in the placement groove 12. The square telescopic rod 11 can limit the up and down movement of the fixing block 8, so that the fixing block 8 can slide smoothly into the placement groove 12.
[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, an elastic element 10 is provided at the bottom of the fixing block 8. One end of the elastic element 10 is placed in the placement groove 12. The setting of the elastic element 10 makes it easy for the fixing groove 20 to firmly lock the push rod 17.
[0037] In this embodiment: by pushing the push rod 17, the first cover plate 5 and the second cover plate 6 are folded. The first cover plate 5 moves towards the connecting block 7 as the T-shaped block 18 slides in the T-shaped groove 16, which facilitates the staff to carefully inspect the camera body 3 and avoids tedious disassembly work, thus greatly saving the staff's maintenance time. After the inspection is completed, by pulling the push rod 17, the elastic force of the spring 14 can drive the push rod 17 to move towards the fixing block 8, so that the second cover plate 6 and the first cover plate 5 can form a whole. Through cooperation with the sealing strip 13, the bottom of the glass cover 2 is sealed and protected. When the push rod 17 slides into the fixing groove 20, the elastic force of the elastic element 10 can fix the push rod 17.
[0038] The specific solution is as follows: When the staff needs to inspect the camera body 3, since the push rod 17 is initially stuck inside the fixing groove 20, the staff can lift the fixing block 8 upwards to disengage the push rod 17 from the fixing groove 20. The elastic force of the spring 14 can drive the T-shaped block 18 to slide inside the T-shaped groove 16, which can drive the first cover plate 5 to rotate around the rotating block 19. At the same time, due to the setting of the hinge 9, the second cover plate 6 will also fold while the first cover plate 5 is moving, so that the first cover plate 5 and the second cover plate 6 can cover simultaneously, causing the second cover plate 6 and the first cover plate 5 to rotate towards the connecting block 7, thereby opening the opening at the bottom of the glass cover 2, which is convenient for the staff to carry out inspections and saves the staff's disassembly time, thus greatly improving the staff's inspection efficiency. After the inspection is completed, by pulling the push rod 17, the staff can lift the fixing block 8 upwards to make the push rod 17 stuck inside the fixing groove 20. The elastic force of the elastic element 10 can firmly fix the push rod 17.
