[0043] Working principle: In use, the operator first lifts the side wall 130 with the cooperation of the inner rotating head 132 and the inner threaded hole 133, and with the cooperation of the side threaded pin 102, to facilitate the auxiliary lifting of the side corner of the assembly table 100. After adjusting it to a suitable position, the fine-tuning rotating frame 140 and the assembly clamp 150 are lifted under the drone rotor. Then, with the cooperation of the side sliding groove 172 and the side locking pin 171, they are assisted in tightening to facilitate the limiting support of the side crossbeam 170. Then, with the cooperation of the lower clamp head 173 and the lower clamp groove 174, the top threaded pin 175 facilitates the side bracket 1. The infrared thermal imager is then hoisted to the bottom of the mounting plate 160 with the help of the mounting hole 162. The wiring is then easily threaded upwards with the help of the through hole 113, which facilitates the subsequent connection with the UAV control module. This makes the hoisting and mounting more convenient and efficient, and also facilitates disassembly and maintenance. At the same time, the side bracket 180 and the lower support leg 181 help to support and maintain the lower part of the mounting plate 160 during use. The damping component 120 and the spring 121 also facilitate vibration reduction during hoisting, making the use more convenient and efficient.
