[0021] The bomb storage compartment 2 is a disc-shaped box body, and a plurality of rotating plates 21 are provided in the bomb storage compartment 2. The plurality of rotating plates 21 are uniformly arranged radially in the bomb storage compartment 2 to divide the bomb storage compartment 2 into a plurality of bomb slots. The upper and lower parts of one of the bomb slots are both open to form a bomb-throwing opening 22. One end of the rotating plate 21 is installed on a rotating shaft 23, and the rotating shaft 23 is connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor 3, so that the drive motor 3 can drive the rotating plate 21 to rotate circumferentially along the bomb storage compartment 2. The other end of the rotating plate 21 has a gap with the inner wall of the bomb storage compartment 2. The bomb storage compartment 2 has an upper cover, and the upper cover has a notch at the bomb-throwing opening. A winding wheel 24 is installed on the side wall of the rotating plate 21, a steel wire rope is wound on the winding wheel 24, the winding wheel 24 can rotate, one end of the steel wire rope is fixed on the winding wheel 24, and the other end is provided with a lock catch 25 connected with the safety pin of the bomb 7.

[0022] A support frame 12 is further provided between the two suspension rods 1, and the two ends of the support frame 12 are connected to the upper parts of the two suspension rods 1, respectively. The middle part of the support frame 12 is bent towards the bomb-throwing opening 22, and the binocular camera 4 is installed in the middle part of the support frame 12, so that the binocular camera 4 is located directly above the bomb-throwing opening 22. The binocular camera 4 has the functions of visible light imaging and thermal imaging.
