[0028] Example:

[0029] This application discloses a protective device for a drone measurement camera. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-6The device includes a drone connector 1, a protective shell 2 on the outside of the drone connector 1, an auxiliary component 3 slidably connected to the inner side of the outer end of the drone connector 1, a baffle 4 inside the protective shell 2, a protrusion 11 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drone connector 1, a sliding groove 12 on the outside of the drone connector 1, a moving groove 13 on the inner wall of the drone connector 1, a slider 21 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 2, a camera body 33 fixedly connected to one end of the auxiliary component 3, a groove 31 on the outer surface of the auxiliary component 3, a connecting block 32 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the auxiliary component 3, rotating rods 41 fixedly connected to both sides of the baffle 4, and a first spring 42 fixedly connected to the lower end of one side of the baffle 4.

[0030] The inner sidewall of the protrusion 11 has a notch 111, and the inner sidewall of the notch 111 has a circular groove 112. The bottom wall of the notch 111 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first spring 42. The notch 111 is rotatably engaged with the baffle 4, and the circular groove 112 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 41.

[0031] The circular groove 112 is used to limit the rotating rod 41 in the baffle 4, that is, to prevent the baffle 4 from dislodging from the notch 111. The notch 111 is used to place the baffle 4, so that the baffle 4 can be inserted into the interior of the notch 111, so that the inner wall of its protrusion 11 is flush.

[0032] The slide 12 is connected to the moving groove 13. A long rod 121 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slide 12, and a second spring 122 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the slide 12.

[0033] The presence of the slide groove 12 and the moving groove 13 facilitates direct contact between the interior of the UAV connector 1 and the outside world, and the second spring 122 is used to support the slider 21.

[0034] The slider 21 is slidably engaged with the slide groove 12. A through groove 211 is provided on one side of the slider 21. The long rod 121 passes through the inside of the through groove 211. The second spring 122 is located around the long rod 121. One end of the second spring 122 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 21.

[0035] The slider 21 is used to limit the protective shell 2 to prevent the protective shell 2 from rotating on the outer surface of the drone connector 1. The presence of the through groove 211 allows the slider 21 to slide along the long rod 121.

[0036] The groove 31 and the protrusion 11 are slidably engaged and connected. The connecting block 32 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the slider 21. The connecting block 32 passes through the interior of the moving groove 13 and is slidably connected to the moving groove 13.

[0037] The connecting block 32 is used to connect the outer wall of the auxiliary component 3 and the inner wall of the slider 21 into a whole, that is, to connect the auxiliary component 3 and the protective shell 2 into a whole.

[0038] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the drone is accidentally impacted during use, the outer side of the protective shell 2 is impacted first. The protective shell 2 will drive the slider 21 to slide inward along the groove 12. Under the action of the connecting block 32, the slider 21 will simultaneously drive the auxiliary component 3 to slide along the protrusion 11. As the auxiliary component 3 moves inward, the groove 31 in the auxiliary component 3 will squeeze the raised baffle 4 in the protrusion 11. At this time, the baffle 4 rotates along the circular groove 112 and compresses the first spring 42 to press the raised baffle 4 into the notch 111, so that the auxiliary component 3 can continue to slide along the protrusion 11. After the auxiliary component 3 slides past the notch 111, the camera body 33 is inserted into the interior of the drone connector 1, and the blocking force of the groove 31 on the baffle 4 disappears, that is, the compressive force on the first spring 42 disappears. Under the action of the rotating rod 41, the first spring 42 side in the baffle 4 will be raised again, that is, the first spring 42 side in the baffle 4 will be exposed from the notch 111, causing the raised baffle 4 to block the auxiliary component 3 from moving back, that is, to prevent the camera body 33 from being exposed to the interior of the drone connector 1. Thus, if the protective shell 2 is impacted, the camera body 33 can be quickly retracted to prevent the camera body 33 from being damaged by the impact.

[0039] When it is necessary to remove the camera body 33, press the first spring 42 side of the baffle 4 so that the raised side of the baffle 4 is inserted into the notch 111, causing the baffle 4 to disappear from blocking the auxiliary part 3. At this time, under the rebound action of the second spring 122, the protective shell 2 and the camera body 33 can be moved back synchronously.

[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
