[0038] Specifically, the second compartment 200 is hollow, forming a receiving cavity within it. One side of the second compartment 200 has an opening, exposing the interior of the receiving cavity and allowing operators to place a preset load inside. The first compartment 100 is located on the opening side of the receiving cavity and is detachably connected to the second compartment 200. The first compartment 100 blocks the opening of the receiving cavity, sealing its interior and encapsulating the preset load within. The side of the first compartment 100 away from the second compartment 200 has a shell-like structure, forming a mounting cavity on this side. The lower part of the side of the first compartment 100 away from the second compartment 200 has a perforated structure, creating a notch that exposes the interior of the mounting cavity. The photoelectric load 300 is inserted into the notch of the first compartment 100 and detachably hung in the mounting cavity. The photoelectric load 300 is exposed through the notch at the bottom of the first compartment 100, ensuring its normal operation. Before assembling the first compartment 100 and the second compartment 200, a pre-set load can be placed in the receiving cavity of the second compartment 200 according to the specific requirements of the subsequent task. This load cooperates with the photoelectric load 300 hung in the mounting cavity of the first compartment 100, allowing for the simultaneous installation of multiple different types of loads. This fully meets the needs of increasingly diverse task scenarios and facilitates the execution of subsequent tasks. Furthermore, the overall structure is simple, facilitating installation and disassembly. Even if the specific requirements of the task change, the load can be quickly replaced according to the actual situation, ensuring work efficiency.

[0039] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 3 A connecting plate 310 is provided on one side of the photoelectric load 300, as shown in the reference. Figure 2 A first connecting hole 110 is provided inside the mounting cavity. The connecting plate 310 and the first connecting hole 110 are connected by bolts. Specifically, the first connecting hole 110 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting cavity, and the connecting plate 310 is provided on the outer wall of the photoelectric load 300. The connecting plate 310 has a through hole, and the through hole and the first connecting hole 110 are positioned corresponding to each other, so that the photoelectric load 300 can be installed in the mounting cavity by connecting the connecting plate 310 and the first connecting hole 110. The through hole on the connecting plate 310 and the first connecting hole 110 in the mounting cavity are detachably connected by bolts.

[0040] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 4 A second connecting hole 210 is provided on the opening side of the receiving cavity, corresponding to the first connecting hole 110. Specifically, the second compartment 200 has a second connecting hole 210 on the side near the first compartment 100, and the first connecting hole 110 penetrates the outer wall of the first compartment 100. The positions of the second connecting hole 210 and the first connecting hole 110 correspond to each other, so that the first compartment 100 and the second compartment 200 can be assembled by connecting the second connecting hole 210 and the first connecting hole 110, and the opening of the receiving cavity is blocked by the first compartment 100. The second connecting hole 210 and the first connecting hole 110 are detachably connected by bolts, so that the through hole on the connecting plate 310 can be sequentially connected to the first connecting hole 110 and the second connecting hole 210 by bolts, completing the overall assembly of the optoelectronic component, the first compartment 100 and the second compartment 200. The connection is simple and easy to install and disassemble.

[0041] Furthermore, a fixing plate is mounted on the opening side of the receiving cavity, and the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second compartment 200. The second connecting hole 210 is opened on the fixing plate. After the through hole on the connecting plate 310 is sequentially connected to the first connecting hole 110 and the second connecting hole 210 by bolts, tightening the bolts can press the fixing plate against the outer wall of the first compartment 100, thereby ensuring the connection and fastening of the photoelectric load 300.

[0042] Furthermore, the fixing plate is located on the side of the opening of the receiving cavity. Specifically, the fixing plate can be hung on the top of the opening of the receiving cavity, thereby preventing the fixing plate from blocking the opening of the receiving cavity and ensuring that the preset load can be smoothly placed into the receiving cavity. Correspondingly, the through hole of the connecting plate 310 and the first connecting hole 110 need to correspond to the setting position of the second connecting hole 210.

[0043] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, reference is made toFigure 2 A first groove 120 is formed inside the mounting cavity, and the electrical interface of the photoelectric load 300 is embedded in the first groove 120. Specifically, the first groove 120 is formed on the inner wall of the mounting cavity, and the first groove 120 and the electrical interface of the photoelectric load 300 are positioned correspondingly, and the size of the first groove 120 is larger than the size of the electrical interface of the photoelectric load 300. When the through hole of the connecting plate 310 and the first connecting hole 110 are connected by bolts, the electrical interface of the photoelectric load 300 can be perfectly embedded in the first groove 120, thereby restricting the electrical interface of the photoelectric load 300 through the first groove 120 and ensuring the stability of the electrical interface of the photoelectric load 300.

[0044] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 4 A second groove 220 is provided on the opening side of the receiving cavity. The second groove 220 is correspondingly arranged with the first groove 120, and the first groove 120, the second groove 220, and the receiving cavity are sequentially connected. An electrical connection wire passes through the second groove 220, connecting to the electrical interface of the photoelectric load 300 and the electrical interface of the preset load, respectively. Specifically, a second groove 220 is also provided on the side of the second compartment 200 near the first compartment 100. The first groove 120 penetrates the outer wall of the first compartment 100, and the second groove 220 and the first groove 120 are positioned correspondingly. Simultaneously, the second groove 220 is interconnected with the first groove 120 and also interconnected with the receiving cavity. An electrical connection wire passes through the second groove 220, which can pass through the first groove 120 to connect to the electrical interface of the photoelectric load 300, and can also pass through the receiving cavity to connect to the electrical interface of the preset load, thereby ensuring the normal operation of both the photoelectric load 300 and the preset load.

[0045] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 2 The first compartment 100 has first fixing holes 130 on both sides, as shown in the reference. Figure 4The cavity has two second fixing holes 230 on its open sides, corresponding to the first fixing holes 130. The second fixing holes 230 and the first fixing holes 130 are connected by bolts. Specifically, the first compartment 100 has first fixing holes 130 on both sides, and the cavity has two second fixing holes 230 on both sides of its open side. The first fixing holes 130 are located on the side of the first compartment 100 closest to the second compartment 200, and the second fixing holes 230 are located on the side of the second compartment 200 closest to the first compartment 100. The positions of the second fixing holes 230 and 130 correspond to each other, allowing for the assembly of the first compartment 100 and the second compartment 200 by connecting the first fixing holes 130 and 230. The first fixing holes 130 and 230 are detachably connected by bolts.

[0046] It should be noted that the connection between the first fixing hole 130 and the second fixing hole 230 is to ensure the tightness of the connection between the first compartment 100 and the second compartment 200, while the connection between the first connecting hole 110 and the second connecting hole 210 is mainly to ensure the tightness of the installation of the photoelectric load 300.

[0047] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 A quick-connect connector 400 is provided on the side of the second compartment 200 away from the first compartment 100, through which the second compartment 200 is connected to the fuselage. The quick-connect connector 400 is located on the outer wall of the side of the second compartment 200 away from the first compartment 100, allowing the second compartment 200 to be quickly connected to the fuselage, facilitating installation and improving the efficiency of load replacement.

[0048] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 4A signal slot is provided on one side of the second compartment 200, and a signal receiver 240 is installed in the signal slot. The signal slot is connected to a second recess 220. The signal receiver 240 is electrically connected to the photoelectric load 300 and the preset load via an electrical connection line. Specifically, the signal slot is located on the top of the second compartment 200, allowing the signal receiver 240 to be installed and receive external signals. The side of the signal slot closest to the first compartment 100 has an open structure, forming a second recess 220 on the side of the signal slot closest to the first compartment 100. This allows the signal slot to communicate directly with the second recess 220, and the signal slot can also communicate with the first recess 120 and the receiving cavity through the second recess 220. This allows the output end of the signal receiver 240 to be connected to the photoelectric load 300 and the preset load via an electrical connection line passing through the second recess 220, so that the received signals can be transmitted to the photoelectric load 300 and the preset load.

[0049] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 4 An antenna aperture is provided on one side of the second compartment 200, and a data transmission antenna 250 is installed inside the antenna aperture. The antenna aperture is connected to the receiving cavity. The data transmission antenna 250 is electrically connected to the optoelectronic load 300 and the preset load via electrical connection lines. Specifically, the antenna aperture is located on the top of the second compartment 200, allowing the data transmission antenna 250 to be installed and transmitted to the outside via the antenna aperture. The antenna aperture is connected to the receiving cavity, thereby indirectly connecting the antenna aperture to the second groove 220 and the first groove 120, allowing the data transmission antenna 250 to be connected to the optoelectronic load 300 and the preset load respectively via electrical connection lines, so as to transmit the signals fed back by the optoelectronic load 300 and the preset load to the outside via the data transmission antenna 250.

[0050] This utility model also provides a drone, including a nose structure as described in any of the above specific embodiments. Specifically, before assembling the first compartment 100 and the second compartment 200 of the drone's nose structure, a corresponding preset payload can be placed in the receiving cavity of the second compartment 200 according to the specific requirements of the subsequent task to be completed. This payload cooperates with the optoelectronic payload 300 mounted in the mounting cavity of the first compartment 100, thereby simultaneously realizing the installation of multiple different types of payloads. This fully meets the needs of increasingly diversified task scenarios and facilitates the execution of subsequent tasks. Furthermore, the overall structure is simple and easy to install and disassemble. Even if the specific requirements of the task to be completed change, the payload can be quickly replaced according to the actual situation, ensuring work efficiency.
