Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0051] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0052] Example

[0053] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a fire rescue device with reconnaissance and communication functions, including a platform 1, which is connected to a building through a lifting mechanism 2; under the action of the lifting mechanism 2, the platform 1 performs lifting and lowering movements outside the building; the fire rescue device with reconnaissance and communication functions also includes a penetrating imager 3, which is arranged on the lifting mechanism 2, and the penetrating imager 3 is suitable for detecting trapped people in complex rescue scenes.

[0054] Existing fire rescue equipment is primarily composed of a rope and a platform. The platform is used only to carry rescuers up and down for searching, and the rope is used only to connect the platform and the delivery tool. This results in low rope utilization, making the suspended fire rescue platform relatively single-purpose and resulting in low rescue efficiency. In this embodiment of the present invention, the provision of a penetrating imager 3 enables continuous and precise searches of complex rescue sites while also enabling real-time communication with on-site personnel. This improves the functionality of the fire rescue equipment and enhances the search efficiency of rescuers.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment of the present invention, the lifting mechanism 2 comprises multiple lifting ropes, one end of which is connected to the building, and the other ends of which are evenly connected to the circumference of the platform 1. The lifting ropes are fire-resistant. Of course, this embodiment does not limit the number of lifting ropes, and those skilled in the art may vary the number of lifting ropes based on actual conditions, as long as the same technical effect is achieved.

[0056] Specifically, the fire rescue device with reconnaissance and communication functions further includes a moving mechanism 4, which is movably disposed on the lifting mechanism 2. The penetrating imager 3 is connected to the lifting mechanism 2 via the moving mechanism 4. Driven by the moving mechanism 4, the penetrating imager 3 is adapted to move on the lifting mechanism 2. In this embodiment of the present invention, by providing the moving mechanism, the penetrating imager moves with the moving mechanism, thereby increasing the search and rescue range of the fire rescue device, enabling more rapid identification of trapped persons, and improving the success rate of rescuing trapped persons.

[0057] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the moving mechanism 4 includes a housing 41, a drive assembly 42, and an inner concave wheel 43. The housing 41 is cylindrical and defines a cylindrical cavity. The outer periphery of the cylindrical cavity is surrounded by an annular cavity. Vertically, the cylindrical cavity is provided with openings at both ends, and the housing 41 is positioned over the lifting mechanism 2 through the cylindrical cavity. The drive assembly 42 is disposed within the annular cavity, with its drive end connected to the lifting mechanism. The inner concave wheel 43 is disposed within the cylindrical cavity and connected to the drive end of the drive assembly 42. The inner concave wheel 43 has a spiral groove, the center of which is adapted to receive the lifting rope. The inner concave wheel 43 is made of a wear-resistant material. In this embodiment of the present invention, the spiral groove increases the friction between the inner concave wheel 43 and the lifting rope.

[0058] Furthermore, two sets of the drive assembly 42 and the recessed wheel 43 are disposed within the housing 41, and the two sets of the drive assembly 42 and the recessed wheel 43 are disposed on the upper and lower portions of the housing 41, respectively. In this embodiment of the present invention, the two sets of the recessed wheels 43 are disposed on either side of the lifting rope. Of course, the recessed wheels 43 may also be disposed on the same side of the lifting rope. This embodiment merely illustrates the arrangement of the recessed wheels 43 and does not limit the arrangement. Those skilled in the art may modify the arrangement of the recessed wheels 43 based on actual circumstances, as long as the same technical effect is achieved.

[0059] Specifically, the drive assembly 42 includes a motor 421, a gear 422, and a power supply 423. The motor 421 is disposed within the annular cavity. One end of the gear 422 is connected to the output end of the motor 421, and the other end of the gear 422 is connected to the inner concave wheel 43. The power supply 423 is disposed within the annular cavity. The power supply 423 is adapted to power the motor 421. The motor 421 is provided with an emergency brake 424, adapted to stop the mobile mechanism 4 in an emergency. In an embodiment of the present invention, the power supply is comprised of a prismatic lithium iron phosphate battery, adapted to power the motor 421. A plurality of gears 422 are provided, meshingly connected in sequence. This embodiment does not limit the number of gears 422 provided, and those skilled in the art may vary the number of gears 422 based on practical needs, as long as the same technical effect is achieved.

[0060] As an implementation mode of this embodiment, two groups of the concave wheels 43 are arranged on both sides of the lifting rope. When the motor 421 rotates forward, the upper concave wheel 43 rotates clockwise, the lower concave wheel 43 rotates counterclockwise, and the moving mechanism 4 moves upward; when the motor 421 rotates reversely, the upper concave wheel 43 rotates counterclockwise, the lower concave wheel 43 rotates clockwise, and the moving mechanism 4 moves downward.

[0061] As another implementation of this embodiment, the two groups of inner concave wheels 43 are arranged on the same side of the lifting rope. When the motor 421 rotates forward, the upper inner concave wheel 43 and the lower inner concave wheel 43 both rotate clockwise, and the moving mechanism 4 moves upward; when the motor 421 rotates reversely, the upper inner concave wheel 43 and the lower inner concave wheel 43 both rotate counterclockwise, and the moving mechanism 4 moves downward.

[0062] Specifically, if Figure 3As shown, the penetrating imager 3 includes a monitoring component 31 and a communication component 32. The monitoring component 31 is connected to the mobile mechanism 4 through the lifting mechanism 2; the communication component 32 is arranged on the monitoring component 31, and the communication component 32 is suitable for real-time communication with rescue personnel. In an embodiment of the present invention, the penetrating imager 3 supports imaging through glass curtain walls, through car windows, through fire, through smoke, through fog, and against strong light, etc., and is suitable for complex rescue scenes such as thick smoke, thick fog, and fire. The effective observation distance of the penetrating imager 3 is 100 meters, and the maximum observation angle range is 180°. It can conduct penetrating investigations on the inside of large fires, thick smoke, and thick fog at a long distance, and supports the line of sight adjustment function, which can observe the situation on the scene in real time. At the same time, it also has the function of taking pictures and recording videos, so that rescue personnel can quickly record the situation on the scene at every moment, and then use it for further research and analysis after the search and rescue. The communication component 32 supports real-time calls and has monitoring and amplification functions. A voice filter is set in the monitoring device to ensure that rescuers can monitor the cries for help of trapped people in a complex fire environment.

[0063] The technical parameters of the penetrating imager 3 are as follows:

[0064] Built-in storage: 256G;

[0065] Display and touch: 5.5-inch LCD capacitive touch screen;

[0066] Resolution: 1920*1080;

[0067] Data output: built-in USB interface;

[0068] Light source: collimated output LD;

[0069] Power supply: 12V external power supply or rechargeable lithium battery.

[0070] Specifically, the firefighting and rescue device with reconnaissance and communication functions further includes a handheld controller 5, which is communicatively connected to the mobile mechanism 4 and the penetrating imager 3. In this embodiment of the present invention, the firefighting and rescue device is provided with two operating modes, manual and automatic. The handheld controller 5 can switch and control the two operating modes of the firefighting and rescue device. By operating the handheld controller, the search and rescue operation of the firefighting and rescue device can be simplified and convenient.

[0071] Furthermore, if Figure 4As shown, the handheld controller 5 is equipped with a movement button 51, an emergency stop button 52, and a manual-automatic switch button 53. The movement button 51 is used to control the movement of the mobile mechanism 4, the emergency stop button 52 is used to control the stopping of the mobile mechanism 4, and the manual-automatic switch button 53 is used to change the control mode of the fire rescue device. The handheld controller 5 is also equipped with a display screen 54, a signal antenna 55, and an audio transceiver port 56. The display screen 54 is used to display the scene image, the signal antenna 55 is used to enhance information transmission, and the audio transceiver port 56 is used to receive calls for help from the scene. When the fire rescue device is in manual operation mode, the rescuer can operate the movement button 51 to move the mobile mechanism 4 on the lifting mechanism 2. When the fire rescue device is in automatic operation mode, the rescuer can press the manual-automatic switch button 53 to automatically move the mobile mechanism 4 up and down on the lifting mechanism 2. This eliminates the need for additional manual operation and saves manpower.

[0072] The specific use process of the fire rescue device with detection and communication functions provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0073] First, the rescue personnel enter the platform 1, lower the platform 1 to the outside of the building through the lifting mechanism 2, and turn on the penetrating imager 3. When the manual mode is needed, the moving button 51 is pressed, and the concave wheel 43 moves up and down along the lifting mechanism 2. The penetrating imager 3 detects the trapped people on the scene, and the scene picture is transmitted to the handheld controller 5 in real time to complete the detection of the scene situation; when the automatic mode is needed, the manual-automatic switching button 53 is pressed, and the concave wheel 43 automatically moves up and down along the lifting mechanism 2. The penetrating imager 3 detects the trapped people on the scene, and the scene picture is transmitted to the handheld controller 5 in real time to complete the detection of the scene situation.

[0074] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
