[0029] The lighting assembly includes a placement plate 9, which is placed inside a placement slot 8. A lighting lamp 5 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the placement plate 9. Two clamping plates 7 are placed inside the placement slot 8. Fixing rods 13 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two clamping plates 7. Fixing holes 14 are opened on the left and right sides of the placement plate 9, and the fixing rods 13 extend into the interior of the fixing holes 14.

[0030] Both clamping plates 7 are L-shaped plates, and both clamping plates 7 are tightly fitted to the placement plate 9. The clamping plates 7 and the placement groove 8 are slidably connected, and the fixing rod 13 and the fixing hole 14 are fitted with clearance.

[0031] Specifically, the placement plate 9 is pushed into the placement slot 8 and positioned between the two clamping plates 7. The fixing rod 13 and the fixing hole 14 are located on the same center line. The clamping plates 7 and the placement plate 9 are in contact, restricting the placement plate 9. The fixing rod 13 is inserted into the fixing hole 14. Through the gap fit between the fixing rod 13 and the fixing hole 14, the placement plate 9 is fixed to the connecting block 4. Under the action of the lighting lamp 5, it provides illumination for the nighttime environment.

[0032] It should be noted that both the drone body 1 and the lighting 5 are conventional devices known to the public in the existing technology, and their specific structures and working principles will not be described in detail in this article.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, each of the two connecting blocks 4 is provided with a moving component for moving the clamping plate 7. The moving component includes two sliding plates 10. The two sliding plates 10 are fixedly connected to the top surfaces of the two clamping plates 7 respectively. A sliding groove 11 is opened inside the connecting block 4. Both sliding plates 10 extend into the sliding groove 11. A fixing frame 15 is fixedly connected to the back of the connecting block 4. A screw 12 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the back of the fixing frame 15 through a bearing. One end of the screw 12 passes through the connecting block 4 and extends into the sliding groove 11. The screw 12 passes through the two clamping plates 7.

[0034] The sliding plate 10 and the sliding groove 11 are slidably connected. The screw 12 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 4 and the sliding groove 11 through two bearings respectively. The screw 12 is composed of two threaded rods with opposite threads. Threaded holes are opened on the opposite sides of the two sliding plates 10. The two threaded rods pass through the two threaded holes and are threadedly connected to them.

[0035] Specifically, the screw 12 rotates, and through the threaded connection between the screw 12 and the sliding plate 10 and the sliding connection between the sliding plate 10 and the sliding groove 11, the screw 12 drives the two clamping plates 7 to move relative to each other through the sliding plate 10, so that the clamping plates 7 and the placement plate 9 are in contact.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, both mounting brackets 2 are provided with drive components for rotating the connecting block 4. The drive components include a drive rod 16. One end of the drive rod 16 is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the fixed bracket 15 through a bearing, and the other end passes through the fixed bracket 15 and extends to its inner bottom wall. A handle 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the drive rod 16. A worm gear 18 is fixedly fitted on the outer peripheral wall of the handle 19. A worm wheel 17 that meshes with the worm gear 18 is fixedly fitted on the outer peripheral wall of the screw 12. A drive motor 6 is fixedly installed on the back of the mounting bracket 2. A rotating rod 3 with one end passing through the mounting bracket 2 and extending into its interior is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 6.

[0038] Specifically, by moving the handle 19, the drive rod 16 is rotated, causing the worm gear 18 to rotate. Through the meshing between the worm gear 18 and the worm wheel 17, the screw 12 is rotated, starting the drive motor 6. The output shaft of the drive motor 6 drives the rotating rod 3 to rotate, and the rotating rod 3 drives the connecting block 4 to rotate, thereby adjusting the lighting angle of the lighting lamp 5.

[0039] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0040] Push the placement plate 9 so that it enters the placement groove 8 and is positioned between the two clamping plates 7. The fixing rod 13 and the fixing hole 14 are on the same center line. Turn the handle 19 to drive the drive rod 16 to rotate, causing the worm gear 18 to rotate. Through the meshing between the worm gear 18 and the worm wheel 17, the screw 12 is driven to rotate. Through the threaded connection between the screw 12 and the sliding plate 10 and the sliding connection between the sliding plate 10 and the sliding groove 11, the screw 12 drives the two clamping plates 7 to move relative to each other through the sliding plate 10. The clamping plates 7 and the placement plate 9 are in contact, restricting the placement plate 9. The fixing rod 13 is inserted into the fixing hole 14. Through the clearance fit between the fixing rod 13 and the fixing hole 14, the placement plate 9 is fixed on the connecting block 4. Under the action of the lighting lamp 5, the lighting environment is provided. Start the drive motor 6. The output shaft of the drive motor 6 drives the rotating rod 3 to rotate. The rotating rod 3 drives the connecting block 4 to rotate, adjusting the lighting angle of the lighting lamp 5.
