Exemplarily, the first mounting part 102 in the embodiment is a threaded boss, the second mounting part 103 is a threaded groove, the threaded boss has an external thread, and the external thread and the internal thread of the threaded groove are arranged in the same way to ensure that two weight bar bodies 1 of the same specification can be installed.

[0044] In the embodiment, the end part where the threaded boss is located is the first connecting part 104, and the end part where the threaded groove is located is the second connecting part 105.

[0045] When there is only one weight bar, the connector 2 is arranged at the first connecting part of the weight bar body 1. When two weight bars are connected, the connector 2 connects the first connecting part 104 of the first weight bar body and the second connecting part 105 of the second weight bar body to further ensure the connection effect of the first weight bar and the second weight bar.

[0046] As shown in Figure 4 Exemplarily, the connector 2 in the embodiment is a slip ring, and the slip ring is in sliding connection with the first connecting part 104 and the second connecting part 105.

[0056] As shown in Figure 7 , the slip ring is pushed, and the slip ring slides from the first connecting surface of the first weight rod to the second connecting surface of the second weight rod, and the outer end face of the slip ring abuts against the end face of the fixing part 101 of the second weight rod adjacent to the second connecting part 105, as shown in Figure 8 , the series connection of the two weight rods is completed.

[0057] When multiple weight rods need to be connected, the above steps are repeated.

[0058] After the connection is completed, the weight rod is fixed to the aircraft. The weight rod is tied at the specified position of the aircraft by threading the rope in the fixing hole 1011 of the fixing part 101.
