However, during drone flight, the drone experiences complex changes in flight attitude and is affected by external forces such as airflow and vibration. Due to the limited attraction force of existing magnetic structures, the camera is prone to loosening. This not only leads to shaky and blurry images, reducing image quality, but in severe cases, it may also cause the camera to fall off the drone, resulting in equipment damage. Utility Model Content

A third spring is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the rotating plate. The end of the third spring away from the rotating plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the camera body. A second spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the camera body. A pressing rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the second spring. A pressing rod is slidably connected to the surface of the camera body. An adjustment mechanism is provided on the surface of the mounting base plate.
[0006] Preferably, the adjusting mechanism includes a movable disc slidably connected to the surface of the mounting base plate. The end of the first spring away from the guide crossbar is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable disc. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable disc. A double-acting screw is rotatably connected to the surface of the mounting base plate. The connecting rod is threadedly connected to the surface of the double-acting screw. A knob is fixedly connected to one end of the double-acting screw. A guide plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting base plate. A fourth spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide plate. A limit rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the fourth spring. The limit rod is slidably connected to the surface of the guide plate.
[0007] Preferably, the elastic force of the first spring acts on the connecting plate through the guide crossbar, the connecting plate slides on both sides of the mounting base plate through the guide crossbar, and the connecting plate drives the clamping block and the connecting block to slide synchronously on both sides of the mounting base plate.
[0008] Preferably, the camera body has slots on both sides, and the clamping block is engaged with the slots on both sides of the camera body. The clamping block is generally in the shape of a right trapezoid, and the side of the clamping block closest to the camera body is an inclined surface.

[0010] Preferably, the bidirectional lead screw rotates inside the mounting base plate via a knob, the connecting rod is in the shape of an "L", the bidirectional lead screw drives the connecting rod to slide inside the mounting base plate by rotation, and the connecting rod drives the movable plate to slide synchronously.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. When the camera body of this drone is magnetically attached to the bottom of the mounting base, the camera body presses against the inclined surface of the clamping block, causing the clamping block to slide to both sides. After the camera body and the mounting base are magnetically connected, the elastic force of the first spring acts on the clamping block through the guide bar and the connecting plate, so that the clamping block is clamped in the slot on the top of the camera body, completing the automatic clamping of the camera body, ensuring the stability of the camera body on the mounting base, thereby ensuring the shooting quality of the camera body, and preventing the camera body from falling off, thus improving the safety of using the camera body.
[0014] 2. When removing the camera body from this drone, press the pressing lever. The pressing lever squeezes the rotating plate to rotate on the camera body. The rotating plate pushes the squeezing lever to slide on both sides of the top of the camera body. The squeezing lever pushes the connecting block to slide through the connecting plate, causing the clamping block to slide out of the slot on the camera body, thus eliminating the clamping mechanism. Finally, the camera body and the mounting base plate are separated by external force, making disassembly simple and convenient.
[0015] 3. This drone uses a knob to rotate a bidirectional lead screw. The bidirectional lead screw drives a connecting rod to slide on the surface of the mounting base plate. The connecting rod drives a movable disc to slide inside the mounting base plate, changing the specific position of the movable disc. The movable disc changes the preload of the first spring. At this time, the elastic force of the fourth spring acts on the limiting rod, causing the limiting rod to insert into the limiting groove of the knob, thereby restricting the rotation of the knob and ensuring the stability of the movable disc's position inside the mounting base plate. By adjusting the preload of the first spring, the clamping mechanism's clamping effect on the camera body is improved. Attached Figure Description

[0022] 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.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0024] A drone with a magnetic quick-mount camera includes a drone body 1. A mounting base plate 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the drone body 1. A camera body 12 is magnetically connected to the bottom of the mounting base plate 11. A first magnetic plate 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting base plate 11, and a second magnetic plate 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the camera body 12. The mounting base plate 11 and the camera body 12 are magnetically connected through the first magnetic plate 13 and the second magnetic plate 14. A contact point is provided between the camera body 12 and the mounting base plate 11 to realize power transmission and data communication, so as to ensure that the camera body 12 can work normally and transmit the captured data to the drone system. A gripper mechanism is provided on the surface of the mounting base plate 11. The gripper mechanism includes a guide bar 21, which is slidably connected to the surface of the mounting base plate 11. A first spring 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the guide bar 21, and a connecting plate 22 is fixedly connected to the other end of the guide bar 21. A first spring 2 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting plate 22. A clamping block 23 is fixedly connected to the camera body 12. A connecting block 24 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting plate 22. A rotating plate 25 is rotatably connected to both sides of the camera body 12. A third spring 28 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the rotating plate 25. The end of the third spring 28 away from the rotating plate 25 is fixedly connected to the surface of the camera body 12. A second spring 26 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second spring 26. A pressing rod 27 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second spring 26. The pressing rod 27 is slidably connected to the surface of the camera body 12. A pressing rod 29 is slidably connected to the surface of the camera body 12. An adjustment mechanism is provided on the surface of the mounting base plate 11. This clamping mechanism can clamp the camera body 12 on the surface of the mounting base plate 11 during the magnetic attraction between the mounting base plate 11 and the camera body 12, ensuring the stability of the camera body 12 on the mounting base plate 11, thereby ensuring the shooting quality of the camera body 12, preventing the camera body 12 from falling off, and improving the safety of using the camera body 12.
[0025] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes a movable disk 3, which is slidably connected to the surface of the mounting base plate 11. The end of the first spring 2 away from the guide crossbar 21 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable disk 3. A connecting rod 31 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable disk 3. A bidirectional lead screw 32 is rotatably connected to the surface of the mounting base plate 11. The connecting rod 31 is threadedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional lead screw 32. A knob 33 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw 32. A guide plate 34 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting base plate 11. A fourth spring 35 is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide plate 34. A limit rod 36 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fourth spring 35. The limit rod 36 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide plate 34. During use, the adjustment mechanism can adjust the preload of the first spring 2, allowing the clamping block 23 to better clamp the camera body 12, thereby improving the clamping effect of the camera body 12.
[0026] Furthermore, the elastic force of the first spring 2 acts on the connecting plate 22 through the guide bar 21. The connecting plate 22 slides on both sides of the mounting base plate 11 through the guide bar 21. The connecting plate 22 drives the clamping block 23 and the connecting block 24 to slide synchronously on both sides of the mounting base plate 11. There are two sets of clamping blocks 23. The connecting plate 22 clamps the camera body 12 through the elastic force of the first spring 2, thereby ensuring the stability of the camera body 12 at the bottom of the mounting base plate 11.
[0027] Furthermore, slots are provided on both sides of the camera body 12, and clamping blocks 23 are engaged with the slots on both sides of the camera body 12, restricting the position of the camera body 12 at the bottom of the mounting base plate 11. The clamping blocks 23 are generally in the shape of a right trapezoid, and the side of the clamping blocks 23 near the camera body 12 is inclined. A groove is provided at the bottom of the mounting base plate 11, and the camera body 12 is magnetically attracted to the groove of the mounting base plate 11. During the magnetic attraction process, the inclined surface of the clamping blocks 23 is squeezed, so that the clamping blocks 23 are automatically clamped on the slots on both sides of the camera body 12.
[0028] Furthermore, the elastic force of the third spring 28 acts on the rotating plate 25, the elastic force of the second spring 26 acts on the pressing rod 27, one end of the pressing rod 29 is connected to the bottom of the rotating plate 25, one end of the pressing rod 27 is connected to the top of the rotating plate 25, and the end of the pressing rod 27 away from the rotating plate 25 is connected to the side of the connecting block 24. When the pressing rod 29 is pressed, the rotating plate 25 will be squeezed to rotate. The rotating plate 25 slides on the camera body 12 by rotating and squeezing the pressing rod 27. The pressing rod 27 pushes the connecting block 24 to move, thereby driving the connecting plate 22 to slide on both sides of the mounting base plate 11.
[0029] Furthermore, the bidirectional lead screw 32 rotates inside the mounting base plate 11 via the knob 33. The connecting rod 31 is in the shape of an "L". The bidirectional lead screw 32 drives the connecting rod 31 to slide inside the mounting base plate 11 by rotation. The connecting rod 31 drives the movable plate 3 to slide synchronously. There are two sets of connecting rods 31, and the sliding directions of the two sets of connecting rods 31 are opposite. Since one end of the movable plate 3 is connected to the first spring 2, the preload of the first spring 2 on the mounting base plate 11 is changed after the movable plate 3 moves.
[0030] Furthermore, multiple sets of limiting grooves are formed on the surface of the knob 33, and the multiple sets of limiting grooves are evenly distributed. The elastic force of the fourth spring 35 acts on the limiting rod 36, and the limiting rod 36 is inserted into the limiting groove of the knob 33, so that the position of the knob 33 can be restricted after the knob 33 is rotated, thereby ensuring the position of the movable plate 3 and the connecting rod 31 inside the mounting base plate 11.
[0031] Working principle: When the camera body 12 is magnetically attached to the bottom of the mounting base plate 11, the camera body 12 presses against the inclined surface of the clamping block 23, causing the clamping block 23 to slide to both sides. After the camera body 12 and the mounting base plate 11 are magnetically connected, the elastic force of the first spring 2 acts on the clamping block 23 through the guide bar 21 and the connecting plate 22, so that the clamping block 23 clamps onto the slot on the top of the camera body 12, completing the automatic clamping of the camera body 12, ensuring the stability of the camera body 12 on the mounting base plate 11, and thus ensuring the shooting quality of the camera body 12. This design prevents the camera body 12 from falling off, improving the safety of using the camera body 12. When removing the camera body 12, press the pressing rod 29. The pressing rod 29 squeezes the rotating plate 25 to rotate on the camera body 12. The rotating plate 25 pushes the squeezing rod 27 to slide on both sides of the top of the camera body 12. The squeezing rod 27 pushes the connecting block 24 to slide. The connecting block 24 drives the clamping block 23 to slide out of the slot of the camera body 12 through the connecting plate 22, thus eliminating the clamping mechanism. Finally, the camera body 12 and the mounting base plate 11 are separated by external force, making disassembly simple and convenient.
[0032] Rotating the bidirectional lead screw 32 via knob 33 causes the connecting rod 31 to slide on the surface of the mounting base plate 11. The connecting rod 31 then drives the movable disc 3 to slide inside the mounting base plate 11, changing the specific position of the movable disc 3. The movable disc 3 alters the preload of the first spring 2. At this time, the elastic force of the fourth spring 35 acts on the limiting rod 36, causing the limiting rod 36 to engage with the limiting groove of the knob 33, thereby limiting the rotation of the knob 33 and ensuring the stability of the movable disc 3's position inside the mounting base plate 11. By adjusting the preload of the first spring 2, the clamping effect of the clamping mechanism on the camera body 12 is improved.
[0033] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
