[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Example

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A drone with a buffer structure, comprising:

[0033] The device body 1 and the buffer mechanism 2 are located on the outside of the device body 1 for impact protection;

[0034] The buffer mechanism 2 includes a flight wing 21, with a support ring 22 connected to the outside of the flight wing 21, and an elastic element 23 connected to the outside of the support ring 22. By installing the support ring 22 on the outside of the flight wing 21 and the elastic element 23 on the outside of the support ring 22, the damping element 24 on the outside of the support ring 22, in conjunction with the elasticity of the elastic element 23, causes an impact when the main body 1 of the device is in flight. This impact is mitigated by the rubber anti-collision ring 25, thereby enhancing the protection of the flight wing 21.

[0035] In the embodiments of this application, the outer side of the support ring 22 is connected to the damping member 24, the outer side of the damping member 24 is movably connected to the anti-collision ring 25, the upper end of the device body 1 is mounted with a bracket 26, the upper end of the bracket 26 is inserted with a rain cover 27, and the rain cover 27 is screwed into the bracket 26 so that the rain cover 27 is located on the upper end of the camera 13 for easy disassembly.

[0036] Several sets of elastic elements 23 are installed. The anti-collision ring 25 is set as a ring and is made of rubber. The lower end of the rain cover 27 is attached to the inner wall of the bracket 26. The damping element 24 on the outside of the bracket 22 works in conjunction with the elasticity of the elastic element 23 so that when the main body 1 of the device flies, it will be bumped. The rubber anti-collision ring 25 will provide cushioning, thereby enhancing the protection of the flight wing 21. The bracket 26 is installed at the upper end of the main body 1 of the device, and the rain cover 27 is screwed into the bracket 26 so that the rain cover 27 is set at the upper end of the camera 13, thereby preventing water film from affecting the shooting on rainy days.

[0037] In addition to the above design, a floating mechanism 3 is installed at the lower end of the main body 1 of the device. The floating mechanism 3 includes a hollow frame 31, with force-shaping frames 32 installed at both ends of the hollow frame 31. The lower end of the force-shaping frames 32 is connected to a buffer frame 33. Several sets of hollow frames 31 are installed. The hollow frames 31 are made of plastic. By installing the floating mechanism 3 at the lower end of the main body 1 of the device and by making the hollow frame 31 of plastic and hollow inside, the main body 1 of the device can stay on the water surface. By installing the force-shaping frames 32 at one end of the hollow frame 31, the force-shaping frames 32 support the buffer frame 33, so that the main body 1 of the device can float while facilitating cushioning when landing.

[0038] In the embodiments of this application, a glider 12 is installed on the upper end of the main body 1, a camera 13 is installed on the front end of the main body 1, and a tail 14 is installed on the rear end of the main body 1. The tail 14 is set in a semi-cross shape. By installing the glider 12 and tail 14 on the upper end of the main body 1 for gliding, it is more energy-efficient than existing drones. The cameras 13 installed on the front end of the main body 1 are arranged in a front-to-back pattern, thus enabling multi-directional video recording.

[0039] The usage process of the drone with a buffer structure provided by this utility model is as follows: Gliding is achieved by installing a glider 12 and a tail fin 14 on the upper end of the main body 1, which is more energy-efficient than existing drones. Cameras 13 are installed at the front of the main body 1, with one pair facing forward and the other below, providing multi-directional video recording. A buffer mechanism 2 is installed at the lower end of the main body 1. A support ring 22 is installed on the outer side of the flight wing 21, and an elastic element 23 is installed on the outer side of the support ring 22. The damping element 24 on the outer side of the support ring 22, in conjunction with the elasticity of the elastic element 23, cushions impacts when the main body 1 is in flight, thus enhancing the protection of the flight wing 21. A bracket 26 is installed on the upper end of the main body 1, and a rain cover 27 is screwed into the bracket 26 so that the rain cover 27 is located on the upper end of the camera 13, thereby preventing water film from affecting the shooting on rainy days and improving the protection effect of the main body 1. A floating mechanism 3 is installed at the lower end of the main body 1. The hollow frame 31 is made of plastic and is hollow inside so that the main body 1 can stay on the water surface. A force-sharing frame 32 is installed at one end of the hollow frame 31. The force-sharing frame 32 supports the buffer frame 33, which makes the main body 1 float while facilitating the cushioning when landing, reducing the vibration of the main body 1, and making the landing of the main body 1 more stable.
