[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0023] This application discloses a waterproof drone. (Refer to...) Figure 1 A waterproof drone includes a body 1, and a waterproof mechanism 2 is installed on the surface of the body 1.

[0024] The waterproof mechanism 2 includes a waterproof cover 203. The inner cavity of the waterproof cover 203 is movably connected to the surface of the body 1. A drainage groove 201 is provided at the top of the inner cavity of the waterproof cover 203. There are multiple drainage grooves 201. The drainage grooves 201 are inclined from the inside to the outside. A drainage groove 202 is provided on one side of the inner cavity of the waterproof cover 203. The drainage groove 202 gradually narrows from top to bottom. The inner cavities of the drainage groove 201 and the drainage groove 202 are connected. A diversion groove 205 is provided in the inner cavity of the drainage groove 201. There are multiple diversion grooves 205 and they are arranged in multiple rows.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 The back side of the inner cavity of the waterproof cover 203 is provided with a movable groove 208. The inner cavity of the movable groove 208 is movably connected to a positioning plate 204. The back side of the positioning plate 204 is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 210. By setting the movable groove 208, the positioning plate 204 can move inside the waterproof cover 203. Thus, when the positioning plate 204 rotates from one side of the movable groove 208 to the other side, the two waterproof covers 203 can be fixed together.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The inner cavity of the movable groove 208 is provided with a limiting groove 206. The inner cavity of the limiting groove 206 is movably connected to a limiting ring 209. One side of the limiting ring 209 is fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning disk 204. The limiting ring 209 plays a positioning and guiding role for the positioning disk 204, improving the stability of the positioning disk 204 when it moves, and preventing the positioning disk 204 from detaching from the interior of the movable groove 208 during rotation.

[0027] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The inner cavities of the positioning plate 204 and the movable groove 208 are both provided with positioning grooves 207. A positioning rod 211 is inserted into the inner cavity of the positioning groove 207. By setting the positioning groove 207, the positioning rod 211 can be inserted into the interior of the waterproof cover 203 and the positioning plate 204, so as to fix the position of the positioning plate 204 and prevent the position of the positioning plate 204 from shifting.

[0028] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 A handle 213 is fixedly connected to the back side of the positioning rod 211, and a spring 212 is fixedly connected to the front side of the handle 213. One end of the spring 212 is fixedly connected to the back side of the positioning plate 204. The handle 213 increases the contact area with the positioning rod 211, making it easier to move the position of the positioning rod 211 by the handle 213. At the same time, the spring 212 supports the position of the positioning rod 211. When the positioning rod 211 is not under force, the spring 212 can restore its deformation and drive the positioning rod 211 to reset, so that the positioning rod 211 is stably inserted into the inside of the positioning groove 207.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 A handle 213 is fixedly connected to the back of the positioning rod 211. A connecting groove 6 is provided on one side of the inner cavity of the waterproof cover 203. A connecting rod 5 is inserted into the inner cavity of the connecting groove 6. One side of the connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the waterproof cover 203. Through the setting of the connecting groove 6, the connecting rod 5 can be inserted into the interior of the waterproof cover 203, thereby guiding the movement of the waterproof cover 203 and making the waterproof cover 203 fit together stably.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A baffle 3 is fixedly connected to the front side of the waterproof cover 203. A heat dissipation groove 4 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the waterproof cover 203. The baffle 3 prevents rainwater from adhering to the surface of the camera and improves the image clarity. The heat dissipation groove 4 increases the heat dissipation effect on the body 1 and prevents damage caused by overheating of the internal parts of the body 1.

[0031] Working principle: First, move the waterproof cover 203 by gripping it, installing it onto the surface of the machine body 1 until the inner side of the waterproof cover 203 is in contact with the surface. After the inner side of the waterproof cover 203 is in contact with the surface, move the handle 213 by pulling it. The movement of the handle 213 moves the positioning rod 211, allowing the positioning rod 211 to be removed from the inside of the positioning groove 207. Then, rotate the rotating plate 210 by gripping it. The rotation of the rotating plate 210 drives the positioning disk 204 to rotate. When the positioning disk 204 rotates from one side of the movable groove 208 to the other side, the two waterproof covers 203 are fixed together. The rotation of the positioning disk 204 also drives the limiting ring 209 to rotate. The limiting ring 209 provides positioning and guidance for the rotation of the positioning disk 204, preventing the positioning disk from rotating. During the rotation of 204, it disengages from the interior of the movable groove 208. Finally, when the positioning rod 211 is no longer under force, the spring 212 restores its deformation, thereby resetting the positioning rod 211 and stably inserting it into the interior of the positioning groove 207 to prevent the positioning plate 204 from shifting position. When rainwater drips onto the top of the waterproof cover 203, it is diverted through the drainage groove 201. Since the drainage groove 201 is inclined, the rainwater can slide on the top of the waterproof cover 203. At the same time, the diversion groove 205 can divert the rainwater in a single drainage groove 201 to the interior of other drainage grooves 201, preventing too much rainwater in a single drainage groove 201 from affecting the drainage efficiency. Until the rainwater is discharged to the outside through the drainage groove 202, it can prevent rainwater from accumulating on the top of the body 1.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
