[0036] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0038] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this application provides an aircraft-mounted shooting bracket, including a base 1. The base 1 is used to connect to a fixed-wing aircraft via an external connector so that it can be used to shoot downwards smoothly during flight. In order to adjust the angle according to the actual situation when shooting downwards, an adjustment bracket 2 is provided on one side of the base 1. The adjustment bracket 2 includes a first motor 20 fixedly installed on one side of the base 1. The output end of the first motor 20 passes through the base 1 and is fixedly connected to a support 21. An L-shaped mounting plate 22 is fixedly installed on the other end of the support 21. Thus, starting the first motor 20 can drive the L-shaped mounting plate 22 to rotate on the upper end of the base 1.

[0039] Meanwhile, a second motor 23 is fixedly installed on one side of the L-shaped mounting plate 22. The output end of the second motor 23 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 24, and a fixed seat 25 is fixedly installed on the other side of the mounting plate 24. Thus, starting the second motor 23 can drive the fixed seat 25 to rotate on the L-shaped mounting plate 22.

[0040] Furthermore, a camera 3 is installed on the fixed base 25. The camera 3 is used to complete the shooting operation. When it is necessary to adjust the angle according to the shooting needs, it is only necessary to start the first motor 20 to drive the L-shaped mounting plate 22 to rotate. After the adjustment is completed, the second motor 23 can be started to drive the camera 3 to rotate through the fixed base 25, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the angle of the camera 3.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figures 3-5 As shown, in order to prevent the camera 3 from being contaminated by pollutants during the shooting operation, thereby affecting the shooting quality, a cleaning mechanism 4 is provided on the mounting base 25. The cleaning mechanism 4 is used to clean the camera 3 when it is contaminated.

[0042] The cleaning mechanism 4 includes a fixed frame 40 fixedly installed at one end of the fixed base 25, a mounting base 41 fixedly installed on the fixed frame 40, a rotating shaft 42 rotatably installed between the mounting bases 41, and a third motor 43 fixedly installed on one side of the mounting base 41. The output end of the third motor 43 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 42, so that starting the third motor 43 can drive the rotating shaft 42 to rotate between the mounting bases 41.

[0043] Meanwhile, a mounting bracket 44 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 42. A slide rail 47 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting bracket 44, and a slider 48 is slidably installed on the slide rail 47. A sliding plate 49 is fixedly installed on the slider 48, and a crossbeam 45 is fixedly installed between the mounting brackets 44. A cylinder 46 is fixedly installed on the crossbeam 45, and the output end of the cylinder 46 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 49. Thus, starting the cylinder 46 can push the sliding plate 49 to slide along the slide rail 47.

[0044] In order to clean the camera 3 smoothly, a cleaning component 5 is provided on the sliding plate 49. The cleaning component 5 includes an air pump 50 fixedly installed on one side of the sliding plate 49. An output pipe 51 is fixedly installed at the output end of the air pump 50. A temporary storage chamber 53 is fixedly connected to the output end of the output pipe 51 through the sliding plate 49. At the same time, a high-pressure nozzle 52 is fixedly installed at the other end of the temporary storage chamber 53. The high-pressure nozzle 52 is arranged in a circle around the temporary storage chamber 53 so that the area around the camera 3 can be cleaned in the future.

[0045] When it is necessary to clean the camera 3, the third motor 43 can be started to drive the mounting bracket 44 to rotate through the rotating shaft 42 until it rotates to the appropriate position. Then, the cylinder 46 is started to drive the high-pressure nozzle 52 to move closer to the camera 3 through the sliding plate 49 until it moves to the appropriate position. Then, the air pump 50 is started to pump the gas into the temporary storage chamber 53 through the output pipe 51. Finally, the high-pressure nozzle 52 sprays the gas onto the camera 3, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the surface of the camera 3.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
