[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0034] Example 1: A camera device with angle adjustment function for drone inspection, see [link to example]. Figures 1 to 4 The system includes a camera body 1 for a drone and a connector 3, with the connector 3 disposed at the connection end of the drone. The camera body 1 is connected to the drone via a rotating gimbal body 2. The system also includes a connection structure 4, which is disposed between the connection end of the rotating gimbal body 2 and the connection end of the connector 3.

[0035] The connecting structure 4 includes a U-shaped frame 401, a threaded column 402, and a threaded sleeve 404; the U-shaped frame 401 is fixed to the connecting end of the rotating gimbal body 2; the inner end of the threaded column 402 is rotatably connected to the transverse section of the U-shaped frame 401 through a rotating shaft 403; the inner end of the threaded sleeve 404 is fixedly connected to the connecting end of the connector 3; wherein, the threaded column 402 and the threaded sleeve 404 are threadedly connected.

[0036] This utility model, by setting up a U-shaped frame 401, a threaded post 402 and a threaded sleeve 404, has the advantage of quickly and conveniently installing or disassembling the rotating gimbal body 2 through a threaded connection, solving the problem that the operation of fixing the gimbal connection end to the drone shell with screws is relatively troublesome.

[0037] Specifically, a rotating ring 405 is sleeved on the outer ring wall of the inner end of the threaded post 402; the outer ring wall of the rotating ring 405 is provided with anti-slip protrusions. By rotating the rotating ring 405, the threaded post 402 is driven to rotate, making it easy for the threaded post 402 to rotate and connect or disconnect from the rotating ring 405.

[0038] Furthermore, the bottom of the connecting end of the rotating gimbal body 2 is supported and engaged with the drone shell through the limiting structure 5;

[0039] The limiting structure 5 includes an extension block 501 and a support block 503. The extension block 501 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting end of the rotating gimbal body 2; the support block 503 is horizontally fixed to the UAV shell. The bottom side of the extension block 501 and the top side of the support block 503 are mutually supportive. Two insert blocks 502 are symmetrically fixed to the bottom side of the extension block 501, and two slots 5031 are symmetrically opened on the top side of the support block 503. The insert blocks 502 are inserted into the slots 5031. The insert blocks 502 have a fan-shaped structure and are adapted to the slots 5031.

[0040] This utility model, by setting an extension block 501, a support block 503, an insert block 502, and a slot 5031, has the advantage that when installing the rotating gimbal body 2, the extension block 501 and the support block 503 are stably supported by the docking of the insert block 502 and the slot 5031, thereby maintaining the stability of the rotating gimbal body 2 during installation.

[0041] Working principle: When installing the camera body 1 using the device of this utility model, insert the plug 502 horizontally into the slot 5031, and make contact between the bottom side of the extension block 501 and the top side of the support block 503 until the threaded post 402 and the threaded sleeve 404 make corresponding contact. Rotate the rotating ring 405 to drive the threaded post 402 to rotate, push in the rotating gimbal body 2, so that the threaded post 402 and the threaded sleeve 404 are threadedly connected, install the rotating gimbal body 2, and thus install the camera body 1.
