[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model 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 utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-9 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0034] A foldable and retractable camera 5 mounting bracket for a drone arm includes the drone body 1 and the camera 5.

[0035] The bottom center of the drone body 1 is provided with a fixing plate 2 at both ends, and several sets of fixing posts 202 are fixed to the top of the fixing plate 2. The fixing posts 202 are fixed to the bottom of the drone body 1. A tray 4 for placing the camera 5 is installed at the bottom of the fixing plate 2, and the camera 5 is placed on the top of the tray 4.

[0036] The tray 4 is fixedly installed with a clamping plate 402 on both sides. The clamping plate 402 is snapped into the corresponding slot 403 opened at the bottom of the inner side of the fixing plate 2. The front of the tray 4 is fixed with a pull rod 401. The pull rod 401, the clamping plate 402 and the slot 403 are used together to realize the disassembly, replacement and installation of the tray 4.

[0037] A rear baffle 6 is installed on the back end of the fixed plate 2; a sliding plate 7 is fixedly installed on both sides of the rear baffle 6, and the sliding plate 7 is slidably connected to the corresponding sliding groove 701 opened on the inner back end of the fixed plate 2.

[0038] Fixed bases 9 are fixed at both ends of the bottom of the fixed plate 2. Several sets of guide rods 10 are installed on the inner side of the fixed bases 9 to reduce the airflow generated by the top wind of the bracket, and at the same time, to reinforce the bracket 4.

[0039] A positioning cover 11 with an arc edge is installed on the front of the fixing plate 2 to reduce the pressure of the bracket being impacted by the wind. Mounting blocks 12 are fixed around the inner perimeter of the positioning cover 11. The mounting blocks 12 are snapped into the corresponding mounting grooves 13 opened on the front of the fixing plate 2. The mounting grooves 13 and the mounting blocks 12 are compatible. The cooperation between the mounting blocks 12 and the mounting grooves 13 enables the installation and removal of the positioning cover 11.

[0040] This utility model uses components such as a fixing plate 2, a support plate 4, a rear baffle 6, and a positioning cover 11 to form a bracket for placing a camera 5, thereby achieving the placement of the camera 5.

[0041] This utility model uses components such as the drone body 1, fixing plate 2, rubber protective pad 3, support plate 4, camera 5, rear baffle 6, sliding plate 7, sliding groove 701, and positioning cover 11 to form a support for mounting the camera 5. At the same time, the guide rod 10 and the positioning cover 11 with arc edge are designed to reduce the pressure of the support from the wind, thereby improving the support's wind resistance.

[0042] The fixed base 9 and the guide rod 10 can strengthen the protection of the tray 4, thereby facilitating the protection of the camera 5; and also make it easy to quickly disassemble and open the bracket to remove the camera 5 inside.

[0043] The slide plate 7 is adapted to the slide groove 701 to allow the rear baffle 6 to slide out and slide in. Connecting posts 8 are fixedly installed at both ends of the top of the slide plate 7. The connecting posts 8 are snapped into the corresponding connecting grooves 801 at both ends of the top of the slide groove 701 to lock and fix the rear baffle 6.

[0044] Furthermore, by taking the tray 4 with one's hand, the latches 402 on both sides of the tray 4 can be inserted into the corresponding slots 403 on the lower inner side of the fixing plate 2 so that the tray 4 can be used as the base plate of the bracket; conversely, one can hold the pull rod 401 with one's hand and pull it outward so that the tray 4 can be easily removed from the fixing plate 2.

[0045] Next, take the rear baffle 6 and slide the sliding plates 7 on both sides into the slide groove 701. At the same time, make the connecting posts 8 at both ends of the top of the sliding plates 7 snap into the corresponding connecting grooves 801 at the top of the slide groove 701 to lock and fix the rear baffle 6. The reverse operation can remove the rear baffle 6.

[0046] Finally, take the positioning cover 11 and insert the mounting block 12 on its inner side into the corresponding mounting groove 13 on the front of the fixing plate 2 to hold and fix the camera 5, thereby improving the stability of the installation. Since the two ends of the front of the positioning cover 11 are set with arc edges, the pressure of the bracket being impacted by the wind is reduced, which indirectly has an impact resistance effect on the camera 5. Conversely, the positioning cover 11 can be removed from the fixing plate 2 so that the camera 5 can be taken out or installed on the bracket 4.

[0047] Furthermore, by using the above structures together, it is possible to achieve both impact resistance to the bracket and convenient and quick removal or installation of the camera 5.

[0048] The drone body 1 has brackets 101 fixedly installed at both ends of its bottom, and foldable propellers 102 are installed at the corners of the drone body 1. Extension plates are installed on the front and back of the drone body 1, and slots 103 are installed at the corners of both ends of the extension plates to hold the foldable propellers 102 in place after they are folded.

[0049] By manually operating the folding propeller 102, it is folded towards the front and back ends of the drone body 1. After folding, it is locked and fixed by the set bracket 103, thereby achieving the fixation of the folding propeller 102.

[0050] The inner side of the fixing plate 2 is evenly provided with six sets of heat dissipation vents 201 for heat dissipation of the camera 5; five sets of rubber protective pads 3 are bonded between the six sets of heat dissipation vents 201 evenly provided on the inner side of the fixing plate 2 for buffer protection of the side of the camera 5.

[0051] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
