Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fire protection technology, and in particular to a fire truck for long-distance firefighting. Background Technology

[0002] Protecting forest resources is crucial for improving the natural environment, as forests possess significant ecological and economic value. However, frequent global forest fires persist each year, making forest fire suppression a persistent and difficult problem. Forest fires cause severe damage to trees, the environment, and incalculable economic losses. Forest fires are complex, especially cliff fires, where the treacherous terrain makes it difficult for personnel to quickly approach, or even impossible, to suppress the fire immediately. This allows the fire to spread easily, further complicating rescue efforts.

[0003] Traditional firefighting tools are difficult to use for precise fire suppression over long distances. To address this, a long-range electromagnetic cannon fire truck (hereinafter referred to as the fire cannon truck) is proposed. The fire cannon truck can extinguish forest fires from a distance that is inaccessible to personnel.

[0004] When a forest fire occurs, professional firefighters drive fire extinguishing vehicles to the fire site. Under the unified command of the commander, the fire extinguishing vehicles are adjusted and loaded with ammunition, and then fire extinguishing shells are fired at the fire area. This allows for long-range firefighting while avoiding casualties. Furthermore, the fire extinguishing equipment is no longer required to supply water.

[0005] Traditional firefighting tools are difficult to use for precise fire suppression over long distances. Therefore, long-range fire cannons can be used to extinguish forest fires that are inaccessible to personnel.

[0006] When a fire extinguishing vehicle fires fire extinguishing shells, the angle of the shells needs to be adjusted to control the firing distance. Therefore, a fire extinguishing shell position and attitude adjustment device is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0060] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of the present invention and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0061] Example 1

[0062] A specific embodiment of the present invention discloses a fire truck for long-distance firefighting, as shown in Figure 19, comprising: a vehicle body 8, outriggers 9, an electromagnetic launching system, and fire extinguishing projectiles 7; the electromagnetic launching system is fixedly mounted on the vehicle body 8; the electromagnetic launching system is used to launch the fire extinguishing projectiles 7, and the fire extinguishing projectiles 7 are used to spray fire extinguishing agents; the outriggers 9 are located below the vehicle body 8, and the length of the outriggers 9 is adjustable.

[0063] During implementation, the fire truck is transported by chassis to approach the fire scene and firefighting operations are carried out by launching fire extinguishing projectiles 7 using an electromagnetic launch system. The location coordinates of the fire source are detected by a detection device 58, and a multi-hole spray method is used to spray the fire extinguishing agent. No open flame is generated during the spraying process, and the projectile remains intact during static spraying.

[0064] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, there are four balancing legs 9; the length of the balancing legs 9 is adjusted by a leveling electric cylinder. Figure 21 As shown, the fire truck for long-distance firefighting uses a programmable controller to control four leveling electric cylinders to work simultaneously and level the four outriggers 9.

[0065] There are two installation methods between the outriggers 9 and the chassis of the vehicle body 8: fixed and rotating.

[0066] 1) Fixed installation:

[0067] like Figure 18 As shown, the balancing support leg 9 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body 8.

[0068] The outriggers 9 are installed perpendicular to the vehicle body 8 and are extended and retracted by a leveling electric cylinder to achieve leveling support for the vehicle body. After the firefighting work is completed, the leveling electric cylinder drives the outriggers 9 to retract, allowing the vehicle to return to a driving state.

[0069] 2) Rotary installation:

[0070] like Figure 19 , Figure 20 As shown, the balancing support leg 9 is rotatably mounted to the vehicle body 8; a linear motor 901 is mounted on the chassis of the vehicle body 8; the balancing support leg 9 and the linear motor 901 are rotatably connected by a connecting rod 902; one end of the connecting rod 902 is hinged to the output shaft of the linear motor 901, and the other end is hinged to the balancing support leg 9; when the linear motor 901 outputs linear displacement, the balancing support leg 9 rotates relative to the vehicle body 8.

[0071] When the fire truck is in motion, the outriggers 9 are in the retracted position, such as... Figure 19As shown; before launching the fire extinguishing projectile 7, the linear motor 901 outputs linear displacement, which pushes the balance leg 9 to extend and maintain a perpendicular state with the vehicle body 8 via the connecting rod 902; further, the balance leg 9 extends to provide balanced support for the vehicle body. After the firefighting work is completed, the leveling electric cylinder drives the balance leg 9 to retract, and the vehicle body 8 is supported by the wheels. Further, the linear motor 901 drives the balance leg 9 to deflect upwards via the connecting rod, so that the balance leg 9 and the chassis of the vehicle body 8 form an acute angle, as shown. Figure 19 As shown, switch to driving mode.

[0072] Fire trucks are equipped with electromagnetic launch systems.

[0073] like Figure 1-15 As shown, the electromagnetic launch system includes: a launch turret, an electromagnetic launcher 6, and a detection device 58.

[0074] The launch turret includes a pitch transmission mechanism 3 and an azimuth transmission mechanism 4, which can adjust the azimuth and pitch angles of the launch turret's cradle 5.

[0075] The electromagnetic launcher 6 is mounted on the cradle 5 of the launch turret and is capable of electromagnetically launching the fire extinguishing bomb 7. The fire extinguishing bomb 7 can be a fire extinguishing bomb, a smoke bomb, or a blasting bomb, etc.

[0076] The detection device 58 includes an infrared camera and a laser rangefinder; the infrared camera is used to detect the direction of the target, and the laser rangefinder is used to detect the distance between the target position and the emission point.

[0077] The azimuth measuring assembly 25 and the elevation measuring assembly 26 are used; the detection device 58 is used to detect the target position, which can be the ignition point, explosion point, etc., depending on the actual needs. The azimuth measuring assembly 25 and the elevation measuring assembly 26 can monitor the azimuth and elevation angles of the cradle 5 in real time, thereby realizing the adjustment of the elevation and azimuth angles when the electromagnetic transmitter 6 launches the load.

[0078] During implementation, the detection device 58 detects the target position, the pitch transmission structure 3 and the azimuth transmission mechanism 4 drive the rocker arm 5 and the electromagnetic launcher 6 to adjust the angle, and after the electromagnetic launcher 6 aims at the target, it launches the fire extinguishing projectile 7.

[0079] (1) Launch turret

[0080] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the launch turret includes: a base 1, a turntable 2, a pitch transmission mechanism 3, an azimuth transmission mechanism 4, and a cradle 5. The turntable 2 is rotatably mounted on the base 1, and the azimuth transmission mechanism 4 drives the turntable 2 to rotate circumferentially relative to the base 1; the cradle 5 is mounted on the turntable 2 via the pitch transmission mechanism 3, and the pitch transmission mechanism 3 drives the cradle 5 to pitch; the cradle 5 is used to mount the launcher 6; an anti-recoil device 59 is provided on the cradle 5; the launcher 6 is slidably mounted on the cradle 5, and the launcher 6 is connected to the anti-recoil device 59.

[0081] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the turntable 2 is mounted above the base 1. The azimuth transmission mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the turntable 2 by bolts. The rear sides of the cradle 5 are hinged to the two support arms 23 on the upper part of the turntable 2. One end of the pitch transmission mechanism 3 is hinged to the middle of the turntable 2, and the other end is hinged to the front of the cradle 5. The launcher 6 is connected to the cradle 5 via the guide rail 57 and the anti-recoil device 59.

[0082] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the base 1 includes: a base 11, a buffer bracket 12, a buffer 13, and a stiffening plate 14; as shown Figure 3 As shown, the stiffening plate 14 is welded to the base 11, the buffer bracket 12 is bolted to the base 11, and the buffer 13 is fixedly connected to the buffer bracket 12 by a round nut. The main function of the base 1 is to provide an installation reference for the launching device, and it also has the function of azimuth buffering and stopping.

[0083] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the turntable 2 includes: a turntable bearing 21, a support platform 22, a support arm 23, a baffle 24, an azimuth angle measuring assembly 25, a pitch angle measuring assembly 26, and a cable mounting plate 27. The turntable 2 serves to support the cradle 5 and also has the function of azimuth rotation.

[0084] Specifically, the support platform 22 is rotatably mounted on the base 1 via a slewing bearing 21; the lower surface of the slewing bearing 21 is bolted to the base 1, and the upper surface of the slewing bearing 21 is bolted to the support platform 22. The function of the slewing bearing 21 is to provide rotational support. Two left and right support arms 23 are located on either side of the circular support platform 22, and the support arms 23 are fixedly connected to the support platform 22 via bolts. The baffle 24 is fixedly connected to the support platform 22 via bolts. Figure 4 As shown, the baffle 24 has a semi-enclosed structure, with its lower end protruding from the lower surface of the turntable 2. When the turntable 2 rotates circumferentially, the baffle 24 can contact the buffer 13. The baffle 24 cooperates with the buffer 13 on the base 1 to achieve the purpose of azimuth rotation stop, thereby increasing the safety of azimuth movement.

[0085] Specifically, the azimuth measuring assembly 25 is located at the left front of the turntable and is threadedly connected to the support platform 22; the azimuth measuring assembly 25 includes: a measuring gear and an encoder; the measuring gear meshes with the turntable bearing 21, and the encoder is used to monitor the number of rotations of the measuring gear, thereby determining the rotation angle of the turntable bearing 21. Further, as... Figure 22 As shown, the azimuth angle measurement combination 25 acquires the rotation angle in real time and feeds it back to the control center to facilitate the azimuth tracking of the target.

[0086] Specifically, the pitch angle measuring assembly 26 is installed at the hinge shaft hole between the support arm 23 and the rocker arm 51. The function of the pitch angle measuring assembly 26 is to acquire the pitch angle in real time and feed it back to the control center to facilitate target pitch tracking. The pitch angle measuring assembly 26 is an angle sensor used to monitor the pitch angle of the rocker arm 51. For example, the pitch angle measuring assembly 26 is an angle sensor used to monitor the angle change between the rocker arm 51 and the support arm 23.

[0087] The cable mounting plate 27 is used to connect the power cables of each component and the central controller.

[0088] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the pitch transmission mechanism 3 includes: an electric cylinder 31, an upper support lug 32, a lower support lug 33, and a positioning pin 34.

[0089] Specifically, the upper support lug 32 is welded to the rocker arm 51 of the cradle 5, and the lower support lug 33 is welded and fixed to the support platform 22 of the turntable 2. One end of the electric cylinder 31 is rotatably connected to the upper support lug 32 via a positioning pin 34, and the other end is connected to the lower support lug 33 via a positioning pin 34. In this invention, the electric cylinder 31, the support arm 23, and the rocker arm 51 form a triangular structure. When the electric cylinder 31 extends or retracts, the electric cylinder 31 and the rocker arm 51 deflect synchronously. The extension and retraction of the electric cylinder 31 can realize the pitch movement of the cradle 5, thereby realizing the pitch movement of the launcher 6 and adjusting the launch angle.

[0090] One end of the rocker arm 51 is hinged to the electric cylinder 31, and the other end is hinged to the upper end of the support arm 23; when the electric cylinder 31 outputs linear displacement, the rocker arm 51 undergoes pitching motion.

[0091] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, the orientation transmission mechanism 4 includes: a servo motor 41, a reducer 42, a pinion 43, and a cover 44.

[0092] Specifically, the servo motor 41 is used to output rotary motion. The reducer 42 is fixed to the support platform 22 by bolts. The output shaft of the servo motor 41 is fixedly connected to the input shaft of the reducer 42, and a pinion 43 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft end of the reducer 42.

[0093] Specifically, the pinion 43 meshes with the turntable bearing 21. A meshing gear ring is provided on the inner ring side of the turntable bearing 21, which meshes with the pinion 43 for transmission. When the pinion 43 rotates, the inner ring of the turntable bearing 21 drives the support platform 22 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the pinion 43, through the turntable bearing 21, drives the support platform 22 to rotate. The servo motor 41 is the power source for the azimuth movement of the transmitter 6; precise control of the azimuth movement of the transmitter 6 can be achieved by controlling the servo motor.

[0094] Furthermore, the rocker arm 51 is connected to the pitch transmission mechanism 3; it can pitch under the drive of the pitch transmission mechanism. The upper sleeve 52 and the lower sleeve 53 are both fixedly installed on the rocker arm 51, and the upper sleeve 52 and the lower sleeve 53 are symmetrically arranged; the transmitter 6 passes through the front sleeve 54 and is fixed between the upper sleeve 52 and the lower sleeve 53; and the transmitter 6 is slidably engaged with the guide rail 57.

[0095] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the cradle 5 includes: a rocker arm 51, an upper sleeve 52, a lower sleeve 53, a front sleeve 54, an upper support plate 55, a lower support plate 56, a guide rail 57, and a recoil mechanism 59. The function of the cradle 5 is to support the transmitter 6 and simultaneously withstand the recoil force generated by electromagnetic emission.

[0096] Specifically, the upper sleeve 52, lower sleeve 53, front sleeve 54, upper support plate 55, lower support plate 56, and guide rail are symmetrically distributed along the center line of the rocker arm 51.

[0097] Specifically, the lower sleeve 53 is located at the lower rear of the rocker arm 51, and the lower support plate 56 is located below the front part of the rocker arm 51. The lower sleeve 53 and the lower support plate 56 are fixedly connected to the lower part of the rocker arm 51 by welding. The upper sleeve 52, the upper support plate 55, and the front sleeve 54 are sequentially fixed to the upper part of the rocker arm 51 from back to front by screw connections.

[0098] Specifically, such as Figure 9 As shown, L-shaped guide rails 57 are welded to the inner side of rocker arms 51. There are four sections of guide rails 57, arranged in two sets on the rocker arms 51 on both sides, with two sections of guide rails 57 symmetrically arranged in each set. The four sections of guide rails 57, together with the upper sleeve 52 and the front sleeve 54, form a slide, allowing the launcher 6 to be clamped and fixed within the slide, and enabling the launcher to move within the slide under recoil.

[0099] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the cradle 5 is further provided with a detection device 58.

[0100] Furthermore, the detection device 58 is bolted to the upper support plate 55; as Figure 22 As shown, the function of the detection device 58 is to detect the target and feed the target back to the control system. The control system issues instructions based on the target data to drive the launching device to complete the launch mission.

[0101] (2) Electromagnetic transmitter

[0102] Electromagnetic transmitter 6, such as Figure 10 The diagram shows: a guidance section 61, an acceleration section 62, and a recoil section 63.

[0103] The acceleration section 62 includes: a drive coil 625, a reinforcing frame, and a transmitting armature 66; the reinforcing frame is disposed outside the drive coil 625; the transmitting armature 66 is disposed inside the drive coil 625, and the transmitting armature 66 is capable of linear displacement along the axis of the drive coil 625 under the action of the electromagnetic force generated by the drive coil 625; the transmitting armature 66 is used to provide the driving force for the load 8 to be launched; the guiding section 61 is used to guide the load 8 to the exit posture.

[0104] Guide Section 61:

[0105] Specifically, the guidance section includes a guide tube and a front support assembly 611. The guide tube is a cylindrical structure used to ensure the attitude of the fire extinguishing projectile 7 (e.g., a fire extinguishing projectile) upon exiting the tube. The guide tube is made of a high-strength non-metallic material to ensure that no induced eddy currents are generated in the guide tube under the strong magnetic field environment during launch. The front support 611 is a flat plate structure protruding from the guide tube and is fixedly connected to the guide tube. The front support 611 provides support for the entire electromagnetic launch device. To ensure strength, the support assembly is made of a metallic material. The guidance section 61 and the acceleration section 62 are connected by a flange, on which bolts and pins are installed for the connection.

[0106] Acceleration Segment 62:

[0107] Specifically, such as Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, the acceleration section 62 includes: a reinforcing frame, a drive coil 625, a cable connector 627, a positioning cylinder 64, and a positioning sensor 65.

[0108] The drive coil 625 has five stages, that is, five drive coils 625 are arranged in parallel to provide the driving force required for electromagnetic emission. Furthermore, cable connectors 627 are provided on the outside of the drive coils 625, with each stage of drive coil 625 having one cable connector 627. The cable connectors 627 are connected to the power supply via coaxial cables. Furthermore, insulation treatment should be applied at the cable connectors 627, and the number of cable connectors 627 corresponds to the number of drive coils 625.

[0109] The single-stage drive coil comprises, from the inside out: an inner cylinder, a coil, and an outer insulating material. The inner cylinder of the drive coil 625 is made of epoxy material, serving both to guide the movement of the fire extinguishing projectile and to insulate the drive coil 625 from the launching armature 66. When a pulse current is applied to the drive coil 625, the radial force of the coil is constrained within the external encapsulation device, while the axial force of the coil is transmitted through the external encapsulation device to the support structure of the electromagnetic transmitter 6, i.e., the external reinforcing frame.

[0110] Specifically, the reinforcing frame is used to radially constrain the drive coil 625.

[0111] Based on the emission principle of the drive coil, the drive coil 625 generates electromagnetic eddy currents, which drive the internal transmitting armature 66 to move along the axis of the drive coil 625 via electromagnetic force. The drive coil 625 is connected to a pulse capacitor, and the discharge of the capacitor in the control circuit is controlled by an independent trigger switch. The transient current flowing through the drive coil 625 induces a transient magnetic field in the inner cavity, which in turn induces eddy currents on the surface and inside the transmitting armature 66. Because the eddy currents are subjected to the Lorentz force in the changing magnetic field, the transmitting armature 66 gains forward acceleration, driving the load 8 to accelerate.

[0112] During launch, the drive coil 625 will be subjected to a large radially outward electromagnetic force. To constrain the drive coil 625 and prevent radial deformation, a stiffening frame with high rigidity and strength is required to fix it to the outside of the drive coil 625. To reduce induced eddy currents, the stiffening frame adopts a hollow frame structure, divided into two semi-circular first fastening steel ribs 622 and second fastening steel ribs 624, and the first fastening steel ribs 622 and second fastening steel ribs 624 are fastened together by bolt assembly 626.

[0113] The reinforcing frame includes: a front insulating retaining ring 621, a rear insulating retaining ring 623, a second fastening steel frame 624, and a bolt assembly 626; the first fastening steel frame 622 and the second fastening steel frame 624 are fastened together by the bolt assembly 626 and assembled into a ring-shaped steel frame; the front insulating retaining ring 621 and the rear insulating retaining ring 623 are respectively fixedly installed at both ends of the ring-shaped steel frame. Further, the front connecting flange and the front insulating retaining ring 621 are connected to the ring-shaped steel frame by a first bolt, and the rear connecting flange and the rear insulating retaining ring 623 are connected to the ring-shaped steel frame by a second bolt.

[0114] Specifically, the front insulating retaining ring 621 and the rear insulating retaining ring 623 are used to position the two ends of the acceleration section 62. Furthermore, the front insulating retaining ring 621 and the rear insulating retaining ring 623 are made of insulating material to prevent the induced eddy currents generated on the reinforcing frame from being conducted to other metal structures on the electromagnetic launch device.

[0115] Specifically, an insulating pad 628 is provided between the first fastening steel frame 622 and the second fastening steel frame 624 to prevent electric creep.

[0116] Furthermore, the bolt assembly 626 includes: a bolt, a nut, a first insulating sleeve, and a second insulating sleeve; the bolt passes sequentially through the first fastening steel member 622, the second fastening steel member 624, and the insulating washer 628 to be fastened to the nut; the bolt head is covered by the first insulating sleeve; the nut is covered by the second insulating sleeve. By providing the insulating sleeve, the electrical conduction between the first fastening steel member 622 and the second fastening steel member 624 can be blocked, effectively reducing eddy current losses.

[0117] Specifically, the positioning cylinder 64 is located at the tail of the acceleration section 62, and its function is to limit the initial position of the load loading. The positioning cylinder 64 is made of non-metallic material, and the positioning cylinder 64 is threadedly connected to the rear insulating retaining ring 623, and is reinforced with thread-locking adhesive during assembly to ensure accurate initial axial positioning. Specifically, the positioning cylinder 64 is arranged side by side with the transmitting armature 66, and the positioning cylinder 64 is fixedly connected to the reinforcing frame.

[0118] Specifically, the positioning sensor 65 is mainly used to detect whether the payload is properly loaded, ensuring launch safety. For example... Figure 12 As shown, the fire extinguishing bomb 7, the positioning cylinder 64, and the launching armature 66 are arranged side by side inside the drive coil 625. A positioning sensor 65 is installed at the end of the positioning cylinder 64 that contacts the launching armature 66; the positioning sensor 65 is used to monitor whether the load 8 is properly loaded. When the load 8 is properly loaded, the load 8 contacts one end of the launching armature 66, and the positioning sensor 65 contacts the other end of the launching armature 66.

[0119] like Figure 14 As shown, the transmitting armature 66 includes: an armature outer cylinder 661, an armature bushing 662, and an armature retaining ring 663; the armature bushing 662 and the armature retaining ring 663 are arranged side by side inside the armature outer cylinder 661. Specifically, the strength of the armature bushing 662 is greater than that of the armature outer cylinder 661, which is used to ensure the strength and rigidity of the transmitting armature 66. The conductivity of the armature outer cylinder 661 is greater than that of the armature bushing 662; this is used to ensure the electromagnetic induction of the transmitting armature 66, enabling it to move rapidly under the electromagnetic force of the drive coil 625.

[0120] Specifically, the armature retaining ring 663 is fixedly connected to the armature outer cylinder 661. An annular boss is provided on the inner side of the armature outer cylinder 661. The annular boss is used to limit the axial position of the armature bushing 662. The armature retaining ring 663 clamps the armature bushing 662 between the annular boss and the armature retaining ring 663.

[0121] Rear-seat section 63:

[0122] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the electromagnetic transmitting device further includes a recoil section 63. For example... Figure 15 As shown, the recoil section 63 is equipped with a recoil connecting plate 631 and a rear support 632. Specifically, the acceleration section 62 and the recoil section 63 are connected by a flange; the rear support 632 is a flat plate structure protruding from the main structure of the recoil section 63, and the rear support 632 overlaps the guide rail 57. The rear support 632 is used to support the entire electromagnetic launching device and slides relative to the guide rail 57 as the electromagnetic launching device recoils. The recoil section 63 is made of metal material and has reinforcing ribs arranged circumferentially to increase structural strength.

[0123] Specifically, the recoil connecting plate 631 is used to fix the electromagnetic launching device of the present invention to the anti-recoil device 59. The connection methods between the recoil connecting plate 631 and the anti-recoil device include: bolt connection, welding, bonding, etc.

[0124] In practice, the launching armature 66 generates eddy currents under the action of the pulsed current of the driving coil 625. These eddy currents, combined with the pulsed magnetic field, generate axial thrust, propelling the fire extinguishing projectile 7 forward until it exits the launch tube. The electromagnetic launcher 6 utilizes a sequence of pulsed discharges to generate a changing magnetic field, causing magnetic coupling between the driving coil and the accelerated object to produce a driving force. The driving coil and armature are coaxially aligned, with the armature moving within the driving coil. After the coil is turned on, the pulsed power supply discharges to the driving coil, generating a pulsed current. The resulting transient magnetic field interacts with the circumferential eddy currents induced in the conductor armature, causing the armature to generate axial thrust, propelling the armature and the fire extinguishing projectile forward. Since the driving coil 625's displacement of the launching armature 66 is a mature technology in this field, the coil structure will not be described in detail in this invention.

[0125] (3) Detection device

[0126] The detection device includes a zoom visible light camera, a fixed-focus visible light camera, an infrared camera, and a laser rangefinder.

[0127] Before use, the detection device 58 needs to be calibrated for its zoom visible light optical axis, fixed-focus visible light optical axis, infrared optical axis, and laser optical axis. The calibration method for the detection device 58 is as follows: adjust the mounting axes of the zoom visible light camera, fixed-focus visible light camera, infrared camera, and laser rangefinder so that the optical axes of the fixed-focus visible light camera, fixed-focus visible light camera, infrared camera, and laser rangefinder are within ±20″ of the reference plane of the mounting housing of the detection device 58. At this point, the four optical axes are considered to meet the requirement of mutual consistency. After adjustment, fix the mounting brackets of the zoom visible light camera, fixed-focus visible light camera, infrared camera, and laser rangefinder onto the housing of the detection device 58 respectively.

[0128] During implementation, the detection device 58 uses a zoomable visible light camera to aim at the target (fire source).

[0129] Specifically, the detection device 58 is rotated using a turret to bring the target into the field of view of the zoom visible light camera. The zoom control module controls the magnification of the zoom visible light camera to center the target on the display screen (aligning the center point of the target ranging image with the target point). Furthermore, the height of the target position is adjusted to 3 / 4 of the total screen height. Based on the optical axis deviation at the current magnification, the angle of the detection device 58 is finely adjusted to ensure that the visible light optical axis at the current magnification matches the reference optical axis.

[0130] The laser rangefinder performs laser ranging multiple times in succession. After removing the maximum and minimum values ​​from the multiple measured distances, it averages the data points that fall in the middle and uses this average value as the target slant range. In this way, the detection device completes the search and measurement of the target.

[0131] The following describes the structure and operation of the Fire Extinguishing Bomb 7:

[0132] Fire extinguishing bombs, such as Figure 16 As shown, it includes: fuse 71, cartridge 74 and stabilizing section 77.

[0133] The fuse 71 is installed at the front end of the cartridge 74, and the stabilizing section 77 is installed at the rear end of the cartridge 74; the fuse 71 has a timed detonation function. The cartridge 74 is sequentially equipped with a powder cartridge 72, a piston 73, and a fairing 75. The extinguishing agent is filled in the cartridge 74 between the piston 73 and the fairing 75, and the fairing 75 is fitted inside the cartridge 74. When the piston 73 slides, it can push the connection between the fairing 75 and the cartridge 74 to disconnect; after the connection between the fairing 75 and the cartridge 74 is disconnected, the fairing 75 can slide relative to the cartridge 74.

[0134] Furthermore, the fairing 75 is disposed inside the cartridge 74 and is fixedly connected to the cartridge 74 by a connecting pin 76, such as... Figure 17 As shown.

[0135] The fairing 75 is provided with a spray hole 752. Before detonation, the spray hole 752 is hidden inside the cartridge 74. After detonation, the spray hole 752 is exposed to the outside of the cartridge 74, and the extinguishing agent can overflow from the spray hole 752 to achieve the spraying of the extinguishing agent.

[0136] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the powder cartridge 72 is filled with gunpowder. After the fuse 71 is detonated, the powder cartridge 72 detonates immediately. The piston 73 is slidably mounted in the cartridge 74 and is in sealed contact with the cartridge 74. After the gunpowder in the powder cartridge 72 explodes, it pushes the piston 73 to slide backward in the cartridge 74, compressing the extinguishing agent.

[0137] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, a first limiting protrusion is provided on the inner side of the projectile 74, and a second limiting protrusion 751 is provided on the outer side of the end of the fairing 75; the inner diameter of the first limiting protrusion is equal to the outer diameter of the fairing 75, allowing the fairing 75 to slide relative to the first limiting protrusion. The outer diameter of the second limiting protrusion 751 is equal to the inner diameter of the projectile 74, and the inner diameter of the first limiting protrusion is smaller than the outer diameter of the second limiting protrusion 751, for example... Figure 17 As shown. When the fuse 71 and the cartridge 72 are detonated, the piston 73 pushes the extinguishing agent and the fairing 75 to move, the connecting pin 76 breaks, and the fairing 75 extends out of the cartridge 74. However, due to the limiting effect of the first limiting ring and the second limiting ring 751, the first limiting ring can prevent the second limiting ring 751 from continuing to slide. This allows the spray hole 752 of the fairing 75 to protrude from the end of the cartridge 74, enabling the spraying of the extinguishing agent. However, the fairing 75 will not detach from the cartridge 74.

[0138] Furthermore, the stabilizing section 77 is fixedly connected to the fairing 75. When the fairing 75 slides down to the cartridge 74 under the thrust of the piston 73 and the extinguishing agent, the stabilizing section 77 and the fairing 75 move synchronously.

[0139] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, multiple sets of tail fins 78 are circumferentially mounted on the stabilizing section 77, and the tail fins 78 can ensure the stability of the fire extinguishing projectile during flight. Further, the tail fins 78 are foldable. Specifically, the tail fins 78 include: a fixed section and a deployable section; the fixed section is fixedly connected to the stabilizing section 8 by welding or bonding; the fixed section and the deployable section are rotatably connected, and a torsion spring is provided between the fixed section and the deployable section.

[0140] Specifically, the fixed section and the deployable section are hinged together by a rotating shaft, allowing them to rotate relative to each other. A torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft; when the fixed and deployable sections are folded, the torsion spring is compressed, and when they are deployed, the torsion spring is deployed. When the fire extinguishing projectile is inside the launch tube, the torsion spring is compressed, and the fixed and deployable sections are folded. After the fire extinguishing projectile is launched, the deployable section unfolds under the elastic force of the torsion spring, ensuring that the fire extinguishing projectile 7 can maintain long-distance flight and achieve long-distance fire extinguishing.

[0141] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided in this embodiment has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0142] (1) The electromagnetic launcher 6 of the present invention mainly uses the energy storage capacitor to discharge the inductor coil assembly to generate a pulse magnetic field, which causes the induced eddy current in the armature to interact with the current in the drive coil 625 to generate electromagnetic force, accelerate the movement of the launching armature, and continuously accelerate through the multi-stage drive coil 625 to launch the launching armature 66 and the fire extinguishing projectile 7 out of the gun barrel at a high speed.

[0143] (2) In this invention, the vehicle body is leveled by an electric cylinder to maintain the stability of the vehicle body; the photoelectric detection of the target position is achieved by the detection device 58 to obtain the accurate location of the fire source; the fire extinguishing bomb 7 is launched at a long distance by electromagnetic launch in conjunction with a high-intensity launch armature 66; the fire extinguishing bomb 7 is equipped with a tail fin 78 to ensure the flight distance, thus realizing long-distance and accurate fire extinguishing.

[0144] (3) The optical axes of the zoom visible light camera, fixed-focus visible light camera, infrared camera and laser rangefinder are calibrated and integrated into one to achieve high-precision fire source detection in various environments.

[0145] (4) This invention enables independent forest firefighting operations by a single vehicle. It delivers extinguishing agents precisely and over long distances to the fire scene via fire-extinguishing bombs, achieving rapid and effective fire suppression. It also features convenient "one-click" retrieval. The fire-extinguishing bombs utilize electromagnetic coil launching technology, resulting in smokeless and flameless firing, no environmental pollution, high kinetic energy, and high firing efficiency. The extinguishing agent is released via spraying, and the release process produces no lethal fragments, improving the safety of firefighting operations.

[0146] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
