Throwable scout ball

Abstract

The invention relates to a throwable scout ball for close space detection. The portable scout ball is in the shape of a sphere with the size similar to that of a grenade. The throwable scout ball is internally provided with a motion mechanism, a controller, sensors, wireless communication equipment, a battery, and the like, wherein an anti-impact mechanism is arranged outside a spherical shell and is controlled by a reciprocating telescopic drive mechanism inside the scout ball; during throwing, the anti-impact mechanism is propped open by the drive mechanism to position the scout ball inside the anti-impact mechanism; when the scout ball stably falls to the ground, the drive mechanism controls the anti-impact mechanism to withdraw, thereby protecting the entire scout ball during throwing; moreover, the motion mechanism inside the scout ball can be divided into a linear motion mechanism and a turning motion mechanism so as to realize linear motion and turning motion of the scout ball under the action of the controller; and the sensors such as a camera arranged inside the scout ball can transmit close space information to a user through wireless transmission equipment. The throwable scout ball can be used for the detection of environments such as unreachable caves and fire hazard sites filled with smog and toxic gases.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a throwable reconnaissance ball used for detecting closed spaces or dangerous environments, such as poisonous gas environments, caves and the like. Background technique [0002] In ground operations, anti-terrorism and anti-riot or disaster rescue operations, one of the problems that executives often encounter is: how to understand the facts in closed spaces such as buildings, basements, and caves on the premise of ensuring their own safety. Although there are a variety of modern detection and reconnaissance methods, there are few that can effectively detect closed spaces. The United States, Israel and other countries have conducted a lot of research and developed various forms of robot systems such as wheeled, crawler and even bionic robot snakes for reconnaissance of buildings and caves. Although these unmanned reconnaissance vehicles performed well in actual use, they still exposed many shortcomings, such as the large size,...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Although these unmanned reconnaissance vehicles performed well in actual use, they still exposed many shortcomings, such as the large size, which is not conducive to individual carrying; the inability to enter closed spaces through simple and fast methods (such as throwing); training and High logistical support requirements; high price, the unit price is basically more than 100,000 US dollars
