[0027] Through the above technical scheme, controller 5 can control two-way air pump 205, and high elasticity silica gel air bag 202 is inflated through gas supply hose 206, so that the air bag expands, and high elasticity silica gel air bag 202 can absorb impact force, air pressure sensor 204 monitors the pressure change inside high elasticity silica gel air bag 202 in real time when the unmanned plane lands, to ensure that the pressure of high elasticity silica gel air bag 202 is always within a safe range; controller 5 controls two-way air pump 205 according to the pressure data, and high elasticity silica gel air bag 202 is inflated or air is extracted through air extraction hose 207 through gas supply hose 206, when inflating, the electromagnetic valve 208 connected with gas supply hose 206 opens the gas supply path, and the electromagnetic valve 208 on the surface of air extraction hose 207 is closed, and when exhausting, the reverse operation is performed, this design can prevent airflow backflow, and can effectively avoid the air leakage condition, honeycomb shock attenuation steel sheet 201 is located below high elasticity silica gel air bag 202, and forms a multi-stage buffer system with high elasticity silica gel air bag 202, which absorbs high-frequency impact through the elastic deformation of the honeycomb structure, high elasticity silica gel air bag 202 disperses low-frequency vibration through deformation, wear-resistant antiskid coating 203 increases the friction force with the unmanned plane body to prevent sliding, avoids side slip deviation, and enhances landing stability, which is suitable for uneven landing environment in bridge detection, significantly reduces the damage of landing impact force to the unmanned plane body, through the above design, the problems of low inflation efficiency and single buffering effect in the traditional scheme are solved.

[0028] The adjusting mechanism 3 comprises two mounting shells 301 oppositely arranged and fixed on the top of the mounting plate 1, a servo motor 302 fixed on the surface of the mounting shell 301, an output shaft of the servo motor 302 penetrating through the mounting shell 301 and fixed with a bidirectional screw rod 303, one end of the bidirectional screw rod 303 being rotatably connected with the inner wall of the mounting shell 301, two screw sleeves 304 being threadedly connected with the surface of the bidirectional screw rod 303, shielding baffle plates 305 being fixed on the surface of the screw sleeves 304, and a bearing groove 306 being formed between the two shielding baffle plates 305.

[0029] Through the above technical scheme, the servo motor 302 drives the bidirectional screw rod 303 to rotate, and drives the two screw sleeves 304 to synchronously move along the axial direction of the screw rod, so as to push the shielding baffle plates 305 to expand or shrink the size of the bearing groove 306, thereby adapting to the take-off requirements of different models of unmanned aerial vehicles.

[0030] The top of the mounting plate 1 is fixed with a sliding rail 307, the sliding rail 307 is slidingly connected with a sliding block 308, and the top of the sliding block 308 is fixedly connected with the bottom of the shielding baffle plate 305.

[0033] Through the above technical scheme, when the device is not used, the top baffle plate 310 can be installed on the top of the two shielding baffle plates 305 by magnetic attraction, so as to shield the bearing groove 306 and avoid damage to the top of the high-elasticity silica gel air bag 202 due to collision, the baffle plate 311 can limit the left-right position of the top baffle plate 310 to prevent the top baffle plate 310 from sliding, and the design of magnetic attraction enables the top baffle plate 310 to be quickly disassembled and assembled.

[0034] The supporting mechanism 4 comprises four L-shaped blocks 401 fixedly connected with the surface of the mounting plate 1, movable rods 402 rotatably connected with the surfaces of the front and rear L-shaped blocks 401, and two supporting legs 403 fixed on the surface of the movable rod 402.

[0035] Through the above technical scheme, the supporting legs 403 can be unfolded or folded by rotating the movable rod 402, the supporting legs 403 are rotated to the vertical position when unfolded, and the supporting legs 403 are upwardly rotated to be stored when folded, so as to reduce the overall space occupied by the device.

[0036] The L-shaped block 401 is provided with two through holes on the surface, and a pin rod 404 is slidably connected to the lower through hole. The supporting leg 403 is provided with a pin hole through which the pin rod 404 passes. The surface of the pin rod 404 is provided with threads, and the pin rod 404 is threadedly connected with a wing nut 405.

[0037] According to the above technical scheme, after the supporting leg 403 is rotated to the vertical position, the pin rod 404 passes through the lower through hole of the L-shaped block 401 and the pin hole of the supporting leg 403, and the wing nut 405 is screwed onto the threaded end of the pin rod 404.

[0038] The top of the high-elasticity silica gel air bag 202 is connected with a pressure relief valve 209.

[0039] According to the above technical scheme, when the internal pressure of the high-elasticity silica gel air bag 202 exceeds the set threshold, the valve core is pressed and opened, releasing excess gas to the outside. When the pressure returns to a safe value, the valve core automatically resets and seals, preventing the high-elasticity silica gel air bag 202 from overpressurizing and rupturing due to faults in the bidirectional air pump 205 or extreme impact.

[0040] The controller 5 is electrically connected with the servo motor 302, the electromagnetic valve 208, the air pressure sensor 204, and the bidirectional air pump 205.

[0041] The working principle is as follows: when the unmanned aerial vehicle performs a bridge detection task, the supporting leg 403 is first unfolded, and then locked by the pin rod 404 and the wing nut 405 to provide stable support. The controller 5 starts the adjusting mechanism 3 according to the preset program or real-time instructions. The servo motor 302 drives the bidirectional screw rod 303 to rotate, driving the screw sleeve 304 and the shielding cover 305 to slide along the slide rail 307, expanding or contracting the bearing groove 306 to adapt to the size of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The air pressure sensor 204 of the inflation mechanism 2 continuously monitors the internal pressure of the high-elasticity silica gel air bag 202. The controller 5 controls the bidirectional air pump 205 according to the predicted value of the landing impact force during daily use, so that the bidirectional air pump 205 pre-inflates the high-elasticity silica gel air bag 202 through the air supply hose 206, and the high-elasticity silica gel air bag 202 expands to the appropriate pressure. At the moment of landing, the cellular shock-absorbing steel sheet 201 absorbs high-frequency impact through elastic deformation of the cellular structure, and the high-elasticity silica gel air bag 202 disperses low-frequency vibration through deformation. The wear-resistant and anti-skid coating 203 increases the friction force of the contact surface to prevent the aircraft body from sliding, achieving the absorption of impact force when the unmanned aerial vehicle falls. If the pressure of the high-elasticity silica gel air bag 202 exceeds the safety threshold, the pressure relief valve 209 automatically opens to release the gas. After the task is completed, the bidirectional air pump 205 exhausts the air through the air exhaust hose 207, the adjusting mechanism 3 contracts the bearing groove 306, and the supporting leg 403 is folded and stored, minimizing the overall size of the device.

[0042] It should be noted that although the specific embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it is to be understood that for the purpose of protection of principles and spirits, various changes, modifications, replacements and variations of the specific embodiments can be made by those skilled in the art, and the scope of protection is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
