The medicine tank 10 is equipped with an anti-vibration component to reduce the amplitude of medicine liquid sloshing.

[0025] In this embodiment, the upper end of the telescopic rod is provided with a sliding groove with a T-shaped cross section, the fixed rod 4 has a T-shaped cross section, the lower end of the fixed rod 4 is axially slidably connected in the sliding groove, and the two ends of the spring 6 press against the bottom end of the sliding groove and the bottom end of the fixed rod 4 respectively.

[0026] In this embodiment, two support legs 8 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the bottom end of the supporting horizontal tube 7.

[0027] In this embodiment, the agricultural drone also includes: two crossbars 11, one nut 12, a boom 14, a boom 15, and two nuts 16. There are two crossbars 11, and four each of the one nut 12, boom 14, boom 15, and two nuts 16. The two crossbars 11 are parallel and of equal height, passing through the left and right sides of the medicine box 10. The left and right ends of the two crossbars 11 are respectively threaded to the four one nut 12. The two crossbars 11 are located outside the four one nut 12 and each of the four booms 14 is slidably fitted with one end. The four booms 15 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the left and right ends of the body 1. The other ends of the four booms 14 are slidably fitted onto the four booms 15. The four nuts 16 are respectively threaded to the four booms 15 located outside the four booms 14. The top of the medicine box 10 is flush with and in contact with the bottom of the body 1. When installing the medicine box 10, it is only necessary to fit the other ends of the four booms 14 onto the four booms 15 and tighten them with the four nuts 16, which is convenient to operate.

[0028] In this embodiment, the agricultural drone also includes a handle 13. There are two handles 13, which are symmetrically fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the two crossbars 11. The handles 13 facilitate lifting the entire medicine box 10.

[0029] In this embodiment, the medicine box 10 is provided with a liquid storage chamber 1001 inside. A liquid inlet 17 is provided on the upper right side of the medicine box 10. The liquid inlet 17 is connected to the liquid storage chamber 1001. A screw cap 18 is threaded onto the liquid inlet 17. A liquid outlet 19 is provided at the middle of the bottom end of the medicine box 10. The liquid outlet 19 is connected to the liquid storage chamber 1001.

[0030] In this embodiment, the anti-vibration assembly includes: a vertical rod 23, a collar 24, ball bearings 25, and a float plate 26. The liquid storage cavity 1001 is a rectangular cavity. The top end of the vertical rod 23 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top end of the liquid storage cavity 1001. The collar 24 is annular, and a plurality of ball bearings 25 are evenly arranged on the inner wall of the collar 24. The ball bearings 25 are respectively rolled and connected to the outer wall of the vertical rod 23. The float plate 26 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the collar 24. The float plate 26 is rectangular, and the distance between its side wall and the inner wall of the liquid storage cavity 1001 is 1-3 mm. A plurality of through holes 2601 are evenly opened on the float plate 26. It can drive the collar 24 and several balls 25 to float on top of the liquid; the distance between the bottom end of the upright 23 and the bottom end of the liquid storage chamber 1001 is 3-10mm; due to the covering effect of the floating plate 26, when the UAV turns, the liquid under the floating plate 26 can only flow out slowly through several perforations 2601 and the gap between the floating plate 26 and the inner wall of the liquid storage chamber 1001, thereby reducing the shaking amplitude of the liquid and improving the stability of the UAV operation; as the liquid is gradually sprayed, the liquid level will gradually drop, and the floating plate 26 will gradually descend along the outer wall of the upright 23 through the collar 24 and several balls 25.

The output end of the spraying pump 22 is connected to one end of a connecting pipe 21, and the other end of the connecting pipe 21 is connected to a nozzle 20. The nozzle 20 is sealed and embedded in the bottom of the inner wall of the liquid outlet 19.

[0032] Working principle: When using the drone, first determine whether to install screws 9 based on the landing location. If landing on a level, hard surface, screws 9 are not required; if landing on uneven, damp ground, four screws 9 need to be symmetrically installed on the two support crossbars 7. Next, inject the pesticide solution into the storage chamber 1001 through the inlet 17. After injection, tighten the cap 18 and install the pesticide tank 10 onto the bottom of the fuselage 1. Installation is simple: just attach the other ends of the four booms 14 to the four rods 15 and secure them with the four nuts 16. Then, electrically connect the pesticide pump 22 to the power supply and controller inside the fuselage 1. Start the agricultural drone to begin pesticide application. Due to the covering effect of the floating plate 26, when the drone turns, the area under the floating plate 26... The pesticide solution can only flow out slowly through several perforations 2601 and the gap between the float plate 26 and the inner wall of the storage chamber 1001, thereby reducing the sloshing amplitude of the pesticide solution and improving the stability of the drone operation. As the pesticide solution is gradually sprayed, the liquid level of the pesticide solution will also gradually drop, and the float plate 26 will gradually descend along the outer wall of the upright 23 through the collar 24 and several ball bearings 25. After the drone finishes spraying, it will land. The four fixed rods 4, four telescopic rods 5 and four springs 6 work together to provide shock absorption and improve landing stability during the landing of the plant protection drone. With the four screws 9, the plant protection drone can be directly inserted into the moist soil when landing in the field, which enables the drone to land stably.
