[0022] Example 1:

[0023] Please see Figures 1-2 The present invention relates to a tethered drone with wind resistance capability, comprising a drone 1, a protective mechanism 2 inserted into the bottom of the drone 1, a tethered cable 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the drone 1, and the lower outer wall of the tethered cable 3 being slidably connected to the top of an automatic retraction device 4.

[0024] The protective mechanism 2 includes a connecting rod 21. The connecting rod 21 is inserted into the bottom of the drone 1.

[0027] The working principle of a tethered drone with wind resistance based on Embodiment 1 is as follows:

[0028] First, when using this device, place it in the work area, and then connect it to an external power source to provide the power required for its operation.

[0029] Secondly, during the use of the drone 1, the staff threaded the tether cable 3 through the connecting rod 21 and the turntable 24, then inserted the connecting rod 21 into the bottom of the drone 1, and then drove the electromagnetic block 23 to work through the current output device 25, so that the electromagnetic block 23 was magnetically attracted to the bottom of the drone 1, thereby installing and fixing the turntable 24. When the drone 1 moves horizontally, turns or adjusts its hovering attitude in the air, the tether cable 3 rotates freely at the center of the connecting rod 21 and the turntable 24, avoiding the tether cable 3 from getting tangled, knotted or even broken due to continuous twisting. At the same time, the turntable 24 ensures that the tether cable 3 can maintain a natural hanging state when the drone 1 moves in any direction.

[0030] Example 2:

[0031] Please see Figure 3 The present invention provides a tethered drone with wind resistance capability. Compared with embodiment one, this embodiment further includes a wind-resistant mechanism 26. The wind-resistant mechanism 26 includes a mounting box 261. The mounting box 261 is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the bottom left end of the electromagnetic block 23. A motor 262 is fixedly connected to the left rear end of the mounting box 261. The front output shaft of the motor 262 is fixedly connected to the rear rotating block 265 of the gear 263.

[0032] A gear 263 is provided on the front side of the motor 262. The outer wall of the gear 263 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the connecting seat 264. The upper parts of both the front and rear ends of the connecting seat 264 are rotatably connected to the rotating block 265. A rotating rod 266 is rotatably connected to the lower front end of the rotating block 265 at the front end of the connecting seat 264. The connecting seat 264 facilitates the limiting of the rotating block 265.

[0033] The right end of the back of the rotating rod 266 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 267. The right side of the mounting base 267 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the moving block 268. The outer wall of the moving block 268 is slidably connected to the limiting frame 269. The right end of the moving block 268 is fixedly connected to the moving rod 2610, which facilitates the movement of the counterweight block 2611.

[0034] A counterweight 2611 is inserted into the right end of the moving rod 2610. The bottom of the connecting seat 264 is fixedly connected to the bottom left end of the mounting box 261.

The rear rotating block 265 of the gear 263 drives the gear 263 to rotate through the gear rod. The front end of the gear 263 drives the front rotating block 265 of the gear 263 to rotate through the gear rod. This causes the two sets of rotating blocks 265 to drive the two sets of rotating rods 266 to swing. The two sets of rotating rods 266 are connected to the mounting base 267 to drive the moving block 268 to move left and right within the limit frame 269. The moving block 268 facilitates the left and right movement of the moving rod 2610. The moving rod 2610 drives the counterweight block 2611 to move left and right. By adjusting the position of the counterweight block 2611, the center of gravity of the drone 1 is adjusted to resist wind disturbance and prevent the drone 1 from descending stably due to high-altitude wind.

[0038] This utility model provides an improved tethered drone with wind resistance. It is equipped with a protective mechanism 2, which allows the tethered cable 3 to rotate freely at the center of the connecting rod 21 and the turntable 24, preventing the tethered cable 3 from getting tangled, knotted, or even broken due to continuous twisting. At the same time, the turntable 24 ensures that the tethered cable 3 can maintain a natural hanging state when the drone 1 moves in any direction. It is also equipped with a wind-resistant mechanism 26, which adjusts the position of the counterweight 2611 to adjust the center of gravity of the drone 1 to resist wind disturbance and prevent the drone 1 from descending stably due to high-altitude winds.
