Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of geological exploration technology, specifically to an easy-to-operate aerial exploration drone. Background Technology
[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment or onboard computer program control systems. UAVs have a simple structure and low operating cost. They can not only perform the tasks that manned aircraft can perform, but are also suitable for tasks that manned aircraft cannot perform. UAVs are often used in geological exploration to increase the stability of workers' operations. For example, patent CN211810284U discloses a geological exploration drone. An installation rod is inserted into a groove, which moves a locking rod. When the locking rod contacts an inclined plate, the inclined plate moves outward, causing a clamping spring to deform. Once the locking rod is inside the slot, the clamping spring returns to its original shape, engaging the locking rod and slot, thus installing the camera body. Then, a plug is inserted into the slot, as shown in the attached diagram. Next, the transparent protective cover is rotated, causing the plug to rotate inside the circular groove until it reaches a vertical position, as shown in the attached diagram, thus installing the transparent protective cover.
[0003] When the above-mentioned device is in use, it improves the stability of the connection between the connector and the inclined plate and avoids the connector from shaking during operation. In order to adapt to different shooting environments, the exploration camera needs to be replaced. However, the above-mentioned device is inconvenient to replace the camera body and cannot quickly replace the camera body according to the requirements of shooting clarity. Utility Model Content

[0025] This utility model provides an easy-to-operate aerial survey drone, such as... Figure 1 and 2 As shown, it includes a drone frame 1, a bottom mounting plate 11 is provided on the lower part of the drone frame 1, and limiting side plates 2 are provided on both sides of the upper part of the drone frame 1. The upper part of the drone frame 1 is equipped with a drone power supply 3, the upper end of the limiting side plate 2 is equipped with a pressing top cover 4, the outer end face of the drone frame 1 is equipped with multiple mounting bases 6, and the lower end of the drone frame 1 is equipped with support bases 5 on both sides. The mounting base 6 has a connecting support rod 7 installed inside. The connecting support rod 7 has a drive motor propeller 8 at the end away from the mounting base 6. The support base 5 has a stabilizing support rod 9 installed inside. The lower end of the stabilizing support rod 9 is provided with a horizontal stabilizing support rod 10, and the lower end of the bottom mounting plate 11 is provided with a brushless gimbal 12. The lower end of the brushless gimbal 12 is provided with an exploration camera 13. The exploration camera 13 is a high-pixel full-frame camera.

A square groove 26 is provided on one side of the end face of the bottom mounting plate 11. A limiting slide plate 25 is provided inside the square groove 26. A limiting protrusion is provided on the outer side of the upper end of the limiting slide plate 25. A concave sliding hole 30 is provided on both sides of the limiting slide plate 25. The mounting block 17 has an internal adjustment mounting plate 19. The upper ends of both sides of the adjustment mounting plate 19 are provided with locking blocks 20, which can lock the locking blocks 20 into the limiting slots 18, making it easier to install and remove the adjustment mounting plate 19. At the same time, the limiting slide plate 25 can slide upward inside the square slide groove 26, which makes it easier to lock and fix the position of the adjustment mounting plate 19 after installation. When the limiting slide rod 25 slides upward, the limiting slide rod 22 will slide inside the concave slide hole 30. When the limiting slide plate 25 slides upward, it will push against the support spring 23 and retract upward. After the adjustment mounting plate 19 is installed, the support spring 23 will push against the limiting slide plate 25 and slide downward, thereby locking and fixing the installation position of the adjustment mounting plate 19. A concave adjustment groove 24 is provided on one side of the upper end of the limiting side plate 2.

A support block 15 is provided on the outer side of the upper end of the bottom mounting plate 11. The support block 15 fits against the lower end of the drone frame 1, leaving a gap between the bottom mounting plate 11 and the drone frame 1. This allows the bottom mounting plate 11 to be replaced according to the installation requirements of the lower end of the drone frame 1. A mounting sliding hole 16 is provided in the middle of the support block 15. An internal hexagonal locking bolt 14 is provided inside the mounting sliding hole 16. The internal hexagonal locking bolt 14 can pass through the inside of the mounting sliding hole 16 to make a threaded connection with the lower end of the drone frame 1. The inner end face of the limiting slot 18 fits against the outer end face of the locking block 20, making the adjustment mounting plate 19 more stable when it is installed and slid. The inner end face of the square slide groove 26 fits against the outer end face of the limiting slide plate 25, making the limiting slide plate 25 slide more stably inside the square slide groove 26. The inner end face of the concave slide hole 30 fits against the outer end face of the limiting slide rod 22. When the limiting slide plate 25 is raised or lowered, the limiting slide rod 22 will slide inside the concave slide hole 30, making the limiting slide plate 25 slide more smoothly. The hexagonal locking bolt 14 slides through the mounting hole 16 and passes through the bottom mounting plate 11. The hexagonal locking bolt 14 is connected to the bottom mounting plate 11 by threads. The lower end of the adjusting mounting plate 19 is connected to the brushless gimbal 12.
