The outer threads of the multiple bolts 20 are rotatably connected to a sealing plate 21. The top of the housing 1 is fixedly connected to multiple wings 22.
[0046] Working principle: The operator first starts motor 9 to drive drive rod 10 to rotate. Drive rod 10 drives two grippers 11 to rotate, placing the rescue airbag in the middle of grippers 8 and 11. Then, reverse motor 9 to clamp the rescue airbag. Control the drone to fly near the rescue target. Start the first output end of motor 25 to drive the scroll 3 to rotate. Scroll 3 slowly lowers and unfolds the scroll 4. The scroll 4 extends downward to a suitable height. When the scroll is released, the various components of the connecting section provide gravity, and the scroll has a gravity guiding function to prevent the rescue airbag from being affected by high-altitude winds, which could cause a large difference between the release location and the rescue location. Start motor 9 to drive drive rod 10 to rotate. At the same time, the rescue airbag is released by grippers 11 and falls into the water. Control motor 25 to reverse, retracting the scroll 4 to the inner wall of the outer shell 2. At the same time, 5 is firmly locked through the small hole at the bottom of the shell 1.
[0047] To prevent the drone from operating for too long and thus having insufficient battery life, which could affect rescue operations, the photovoltaic panel 19 is placed on the inner wall of the support plate 17 by bolt 18. The second output end of the motor 25 is started to drive the conical wheel rod 12 to rotate. The conical wheel rod 12 drives the conical wheel rod 14 to rotate. The conical wheel rod 14 drives the scraper 16 to slide left and right in the groove 23 to scrape the surface of the photovoltaic panel 19, preventing excessive dust accumulation on the surface of the photovoltaic panel 19 from affecting its conversion efficiency.
[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
