[0017] 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.

[0018] This utility model provides a drone device for power engineering surveying, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown: This is a drone device for power engineering surveying, including a drone body 1. An adjustment drive mechanism 2 is provided on the lower surface of the drone body 1. The adjustment drive mechanism 2 includes a support rod 21. A bearing passes through the outer arc surface of the support rod 21 and is rotatably connected to the bearing. A movable wheel 22 is fixedly connected to the bearing of the support rod 21. A mounting frame 23 is fixedly connected to the outer arc surface of the support rod 21. The cross-sectional shape of the mounting frame 23 is trapezoidal. The trapezoidal shape of the mounting frame 23 supports the drone body 1 during landing, making the drone body 1 more stable. A motor 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting frame 23 away from the support rod 21. The other end of the mounting frame 23 is fixedly connected to the support rod 21. The output shaft of the motor 24 is connected to the movable wheel 22 via a transmission belt. One end of the support rod 21 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the drone body 1, and the other end of the support rod 21 is fixedly connected to a ring 25. The outer arc surface of the ring 25 is linearly arranged... The drone body 1 has a slot 26 in a row. A limit post 27 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the drone body 1. A block 28 passes through the lower surface of the limit post 27 and is slidably connected to the block 28. The limit post 27 can limit the block 28, so that the block 28 can only slide up and down, making the block 28 more stable. The block 28 is slidably connected to the slot 26. The function of the block 28 in limiting the ring 25 can effectively limit the support rod 21. The block 28 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring 29, and the lower surface of the drone body 1 is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring 29. The adjustment drive mechanism 2 is provided in two sets and is symmetrically arranged with the center line of the drone body 1 as the axis of symmetry. By setting the adjustment drive mechanism 2 in two sets, the two sets of support rods 21 can make the drone body 1 more stable when landing. By setting two sets of motors 24 at the same time, the function of the drone body 1 is more stable when the drone body 1 needs to take pictures on the ground.

[0019] A rotating mechanism 3 is provided on the lower surface of the drone body 1. The rotating mechanism 3 includes a camera body 31. A groove 32 is provided on the lower surface of the drone body 1. The inner surface of the groove 32 is rotatably connected to the camera body 31. A motor 33 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the groove 32. A transmission gear 34 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 33. A fan-shaped gear 35 is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the camera body 31. The fan-shaped gear 35 meshes with the transmission gear 34. The groove 32 allows the camera body 31 to be easily placed inside the drone body 1. This design effectively protects the camera body 31 from impacts during landing. At the same time, the camera body 31 can adjust its shooting angle in conjunction with the fan-shaped gear 35 and the transmission gear 34.

[0020] Working principle: When the drone body 1 lands, it is supported by four sets of moving wheels 22 and lands smoothly. At the same time, the support rod 21 ensures that the drone body 1 is more stable. When the drone body 1 needs to shoot on land, the locking block 28 can be pulled upward to disengage from the locking slot 26. After the locking block 28 is disengaged from the slot 26, the support rod 21 can rotate. After the two sets of support rods 21 are rotated 90 degrees to both sides, the moving wheels 22 are in close contact with the ground. The motor 1 24 drives the moving wheels 22 to rotate through the transmission belt. At this time, the drone body 1 can shoot on land. When shooting on land or in the air, the motor 2 33 drives the transmission gear 34. The transmission gear 34 will cooperate with the fan-shaped gear 35 to make the camera body 31 rotate in an arc, thereby increasing the shooting range of the camera body 31.

[0021] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
