[0024] Example

At the same time, the end of the drive link 53 away from the threaded block 52 is hinged to the support plate 56. The end of the threaded rod 51 away from the support rod 4 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 57, and the rotating rod 57 is rotatably connected to the support rod 4. At the same time, the end of the rotating rod 57 away from the threaded rod 51 is fixedly connected to a turntable 58 for driving the take-up and take-down mechanism 5 to move. The threaded block 52 slides on the inner wall of the support rod 4. At the same time, the two sets of drive links 53 are at an obtuse angle on both sides of the drone body 1.
[0028] In this embodiment, specifically: the end of the support rod 4 away from the drone body 1 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 6, and a blade 7 for driving the drone body 1 to take off is fixedly connected through the rotating shaft 6, and four sets of blades 7 are provided on a set of rotating shafts 6. At the same time, the rotating shaft 6 is electrically connected to the computer that controls the drone body 1.
[0029] In this embodiment, specifically: a laser 8 for removing weeds is fixedly connected inside the galvanometer assembly 2, and a first servo motor 9 is fixedly connected inside the galvanometer assembly 2. A first reflecting mirror 11 for reflecting the laser from the laser 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first servo motor 9. At the same time, a second servo motor 10 is fixedly connected to the galvanometer assembly 2. A second reflecting mirror 12 for reflecting the laser from the laser 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second servo motor 10. The first reflecting mirror 11 is located on the side directly in front of the laser 8, and the second reflecting mirror 12 is located on the side below the first reflecting mirror 11.
[0030] In this embodiment, specifically: the bottom of the galvanometer assembly 2 is provided with a light-transmitting hole 13, and the light-transmitting hole 13 is located directly below the second reflecting lens 12. At the same time, the adjustment mechanism 3 is installed directly below the light-transmitting hole 13, and the field lens 36 on the adjustment mechanism 3 can have a variable focal length of 3 to 5m, while the focal plane reaches 2500*2500mm.
[0031] In this embodiment, specifically: the support plate 56 is provided with a pad 14 for preventing the drone body 1 from sliding, and there are two sets of pads 14 on the support plate 56.

[0033] Working principle or structural principle: First, the laser 8 is activated, emitting laser light. Simultaneously, the sensor installed in the galvanometer assembly 2 controls the activation of the first servo motor 9 and the second servo motor 10. The outputs of the first servo motor 9 and the second servo motor 10 drive the first reflecting mirror 11 and the second reflecting mirror 12 to rotate, so that the first reflecting mirror 11 and the second reflecting mirror 12 accurately reflect the laser light emitted by the laser 8 to the field lens 36 to remove weeds. Then, the drone body 1 is activated, and the drone body 1 moves the device to remove weeds. At the same time, when it is necessary to adjust the focal length of the field lens 36, the outer cylinder 34 can be manually rotated so that its toothed groove 39 is in the driven outer toothed ring 38. The upward rotation adjusts the focal length of the field lens 36, enabling it to achieve the weeding requirements of a 3-5m long focal length. Simultaneously, during weeding, the computer controls the change in focal length of the field lens 36. The computer controls the motor 32 to start, which in turn drives the drive gear 33 and the active external gear ring 35, causing the outer cylinder 34 to rotate the field lens 36, thus adjusting the focal length. This meets the needs of the UAV 1 for laser weeding when flying at an altitude of approximately 4m. After setting the focal length, the mechanical zoom device can be locked, operating in a fixed-focus state. This approach minimizes the cost of the variable focal length galvanometer while still meeting the requirements of laser weeding.
