Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of camouflage net technology, specifically to an integrated camouflage net for radar wave and infrared reconnaissance protection and its processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Radar is a crucial aerial reconnaissance tool in modern warfare, utilizing high-frequency electromagnetic waves to detect and track targets. When a radar system emits electromagnetic waves towards enemy tanks, aircraft, and other weaponry, these waves strike the target's surface and reflect back to the radar system. The resulting echoes, received and processed by the radar system, display the target's shape and location on the radar screen. The metallic materials on enemy equipment surfaces exhibit strong reflective properties to electromagnetic waves. When electromagnetic waves strike a target, these metallic surfaces reflect most of the waves back to the radar system. The characteristics of these echoes include their intensity, direction, and time delay. This information helps the radar system accurately calculate parameters such as the target's distance, azimuth, and velocity. By analyzing the time delay of the echoes, the radar system can determine the target's distance. Furthermore, changes in the direction and intensity of the electromagnetic waves help the radar determine the target's precise location and size. This precise target location and tracking provides fundamental data for precision strikes, enabling the military to selectively eliminate enemy personnel and weaponry. Therefore, radar technology plays a vital role in modern warfare. It not only provides the military with information on enemy targets, but also offers precise location and strike data for operational command, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and accuracy. Through this technology, the military can execute missions more effectively, ensuring national security and victory in war.

[0003] Currently, my country's research on integrated camouflage nets for radar and infrared reconnaissance protection is relatively insufficient. Troops still use ordinary camouflage nets in training and exercises, which lack the ability to absorb or scatter radar waves. This makes our positions easily detectable by enemy radar, exposing them to enemy reconnaissance range. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an integrated camouflage net capable of countering radar and infrared reconnaissance to protect the concealment of our positions and prevent enemy detection. Thus, an integrated camouflage net for radar and infrared reconnaissance protection needs to be designed, possessing the characteristics of effectively blocking, absorbing, or scattering radar waves. By using special absorbing materials or a specially structured mesh design, radar wave reflection and echo can be reduced, thereby weakening the enemy radar system's ability to detect our positions. Simultaneously, the camouflage net should provide effective cover in the infrared spectrum, concealing the thermal characteristics of the position and reducing the likelihood of infrared detection. In terms of design, this camouflage net can be coated with appropriate camouflage colors according to the characteristics of different operational areas. The choice of camouflage color should be adapted to the surrounding environment to effectively blur visual cues and improve the concealment of the position when using high-magnification optical instruments and infrared reconnaissance equipment. When designing integrated camouflage nets that protect against radar waves and infrared reconnaissance, the uniformity and thickness of the surface coating need to be considered, which may exceed the processing capabilities of current fabric coating machines. Therefore, a device specifically designed for processing this type of camouflage net is needed to ensure a uniform and moderately thin coating on the fabric surface, meeting the processing requirements for radar wave and infrared reconnaissance protection, while possessing high efficiency, sustainable production capabilities, and the ability to achieve large-scale manufacturing within a reasonable cost range. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an integrated camouflage net for radar wave and infrared reconnaissance protection, along with its processing apparatus. This net effectively blocks, absorbs, or scatters radar waves. By using special absorbing materials or a specially structured mesh design, radar wave reflection and echoes are reduced, thereby weakening the enemy radar system's ability to detect our positions. The processing apparatus can achieve a uniform and moderately thin coating on the fabric surface, meeting the requirements for radar wave and infrared reconnaissance protection. It also boasts high efficiency and sustainable production capabilities, solving the problem that current camouflage nets have weak radar wave absorption or scattering capabilities, making our positions easily detectable by enemy radar and exposed to enemy reconnaissance range, and that existing processing apparatus cannot meet the requirements for camouflage net processing.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0017] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, this invention provides an integrated camouflage net for radar wave and infrared reconnaissance protection and its processing device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This integrated camouflage net, which protects against radar waves and infrared reconnaissance, utilizes a combination of a raw fabric structure, a radar-absorbing coating structure, and an infrared-resistant coating structure. Compared to traditional technical structures, this camouflage net can absorb the scattering and penetration of radar waves, ensuring that the intensity of radar waves reflected back from the camouflage net covering the armed equipment is basically the same as the surrounding environment. This makes it difficult for the shape of the weapons and equipment to be displayed on the enemy's radar signal receiving screen. In addition, the surface of the fabric is coated with a coating that protects against visible light and infrared reconnaissance, which can more effectively absorb radar waves and infrared rays, thereby significantly improving the target's stealth capability. Its coating properties can significantly reduce radar cross section and thermal infrared signature in specific frequency bands, enhancing target concealment. Therefore, it can achieve a camouflage function that is primarily designed to prevent radar reconnaissance while also providing protection against visible light and infrared reconnaissance. The design of nanomaterials in the coating enables it to achieve good absorption effects in multiple frequency bands, providing more comprehensive concealment. The composite material made of graphene and other nanomaterials in the coating gives the radar-absorbing coating higher magnetic permeability and electrical conductivity, enhancing its ability to attenuate radar waves and quickly conducting the generated heat into the air.

[0020] 2. This integrated camouflage net, which is resistant to radar waves and infrared reconnaissance, utilizes a fabric structure. Compared to traditional technical structures, this fabric uses a conductive base fabric and a fabric base with metal wires woven into it, which helps control radar wave reflection. The fabric is made of two or more layers and connected by a mesh frame. This multi-layered structure increases concealment. At the same time, the camouflage effect is further enhanced by the arrangement of cut patterns at different angles. In addition, the cut pattern and hollow design help to quickly disperse the generated heat, avoid heat accumulation, and reduce the risk of being detected.

[0021] 3. The processing device for this integrated camouflage net that protects against radar waves and infrared reconnaissance utilizes an upper pressure plate structure, a lower pressure plate structure, and a liquid-pushing plate structure. Compared to traditional technical structures, this processing device leverages the capillary effect generated by the upper and lower pressure plates to create a stable liquid interface between the upper pressure plate, the fabric, and the lower pressure plate, preventing the coating liquid from overflowing. This phenomenon ensures that the coating forms a uniform coating on the fabric surface, avoiding the uneven coating or accumulation caused by coating flowouts in traditional coating methods. Furthermore, this phenomenon allows for precise control of the overall coating thickness on the upper and lower surfaces of the fabric, enabling the processing device to achieve thin coating processing. It also reduces coating waste, as excess coating flows back into the cavity, preventing losses caused by coating flowouts or overflows outside the device, thus improving process utilization and efficiency.

[0022] 4. The processing device for this integrated camouflage net, which is designed to resist radar waves and infrared reconnaissance, utilizes a combination of vibration, heating, and piezoelectric modules. Compared to traditional technologies, this device achieves more uniform coating uniformity on the fabric surface through high-frequency vibration of the vibration modules, reducing uneven coating issues during production and improving efficiency and product quality. The linkage design between the piezoelectric and vibration modules transmits current generated by the piezoelectric effect to the heating module, heating the coating. This design saves energy, improving energy efficiency by using current generated by mechanical vibration. Furthermore, the lower pressure plate's design eliminates the need for external wiring, enabling it to operate autonomously and reducing reliance on external equipment. This also avoids safety hazards, making it safer and more reliable when handling large amounts of liquid coating. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1This integrated camouflage net, designed to withstand radar waves and infrared reconnaissance, comprises a raw fabric 1. Both sides of the raw fabric 1 are coated with a radar-absorbing coating 2 that attenuates incident electromagnetic waves. The radar-absorbing coating 2 is composed of materials capable of absorbing electromagnetic waves. Applied to the surface of the target or camouflage fabric, it attenuates incident electromagnetic waves, achieving target stealth. The selected nanomaterials can absorb radar waves and effectively absorb visible light and infrared radiation; the material size is between 30 and 100 nm. Due to their extremely small particle size and large specific surface area, nanomaterials exhibit unique physical and chemical properties, resulting in multiple scattering of electromagnetic waves. The high coercivity of nanoparticles can induce hysteresis loss. Using nanomaterials as radar wave absorbers facilitates the creation of a lightweight coating with high absorption rate and wide absorption bandwidth, covering centimeter-wave and millimeter-wave bands, while also exhibiting a synergistic effect on the reflectivity of visible light and infrared bands. By adjusting the electromagnetic parameters of the material, optimizing the structural design, and applying a coating to the fabric after production, in addition to meeting requirements such as visual stealth, infrared stealth, and flame retardancy, it can also achieve a stealth capability within the range of 4–18 GH. Z 26.5~40GH ZThe radar stealth band has an average one-way attenuation value of RCS greater than -12dB. The radar-absorbing coating 2 contains micron-sized carbonyl iron, micron-sized nickel powder, nano-sized carbon black, micron-sized silicon carbide, nano-sized graphene, and transparent resin solvent. The nano-sized graphene and other composite materials with good magnetic permeability and electrical conductivity and strong thermal conductivity are formulated to form a composite material with both magnetic loss and dielectric loss characteristics, which improves the attenuation capability of radar waves and allows the generated heat to be quickly dissipated into the air. The radar-absorbing coating 2 is also coated with an infrared-resistant coating 3 to reduce the difference in thermal infrared characteristics between the camouflaged target and the background. The current working wavelengths of thermal infrared reconnaissance are 3-5μm and 8-14μm. As long as there is a temperature difference of 1-4℃ between the target and the background, it can be distinguished. Therefore, the thermal infrared stealth coating is to make the radiation characteristics of the target and the background similar. The heat-resistant infrared stealth coating mainly uses an infrared-resistant coating 3 method. This method employs a heat dissipation layer composed of high-melting-point polymer materials with low thermal conductivity to shield or rapidly dissipate the heat inside the object to be camouflaged. This reduces the difference in thermal infrared characteristics between the camouflaged target and the background, preventing the accumulation of thermal infrared radiation on the equipment surface and achieving thermal infrared stealth. When mixing the jungle green series, pigments with high reflectivity such as chromium oxide green, cobalt green, cobalt blue, medium chrome yellow, iron yellow, and red light black can be selected to achieve a green patch emissivity greater than 0.8. When mixing desert colors such as sand and brown, titanium dioxide, iron oxide red, iron chromium brown, iron manganese brown, flake aluminum powder, and specific high-reflectivity black pigments with good hiding power can be added to improve the opacity of the coated material. The better the opacity of the material, the higher the infrared reflectivity of the opaque surface, the lower the absorption rate, and the lower the outward infrared emissivity. This can control the color emissivity index at 0.7. However, excessively low thermal infrared emissivity will be detrimental to the absorption of radar waves. The infrared protection coating 3 contains pigments, aluminum powder, other additives, solvent-based PU adhesive, and crosslinking agent.

[0032] The base fabric 1 uses a conductive base fabric, while the outer fabric greige uses a conductive fabric with internally woven metal wires. The conductivity needs to be controlled because the metal wires reflect radar waves; therefore, the density of the woven metal wires must be carefully controlled to prevent excessive density, and the surface resistivity should be controlled at 10. 4 -10 6 Between them, the camouflage net absorbs some radar waves, causing its temperature to rise and be controlled at 1-3°. Since it is all cut and hollowed out, this temperature value can be dissipated immediately and will not accumulate, so it will not be detected. The greige fabric 1 is cut into different specifications of cut flowers. The greige fabric 1 is set with two or more layers. The two or more layers of greige fabric 1 are connected by a mesh skeleton. The cut flower directions on the two or more layers of greige fabric are perpendicular to each other.

[0033] The color in the pigment of the infrared protection coating 3 is a color patch, which uses four or more colors, and the color patches tend to be mixed and matched. The color patches are composed of multi-spectral color patches.

[0034] Aluminum powder is added to the coating material of the fabric 1. The particle size of the aluminum powder is 22-40 micrometers. The surface of the aluminum powder is coated with organosilicon. The amount of aluminum powder is increased by 5-10%. Too much aluminum powder will make it easy to reflect light and be noticed. Too little aluminum powder will make the heat reflection effect worse.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 2-4 The processing device for an integrated camouflage net that resists radar waves and infrared reconnaissance includes an upper pressure plate 4, a lower pressure plate 5, and a conveyor roller 6. The conveyor roller 6 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper pressure plate 4 and the lower pressure plate 5. The blank fabric 1 to be processed is placed between the upper pressure plate 4 and the lower pressure plate 5. A device housing 7 is installed outside the upper pressure plate 4. The conveyor roller 6 is rotatably installed on both sides of the device housing 7. The upper pressure plate 4 and the lower pressure plate 5 press the blank fabric 1 tightly in the middle. The device housing 7 has an inlet 8 and an outlet 9 on both sides. The lower pressure plate 5 is slidably installed inside the device housing 7. A gap is left between the lower pressure plate 5 and the device housing 7, which allows excess paint after the upper pressure plate 4 and the lower pressure plate 5 are pressed together to flow back into the cavity 10. A cavity 10 containing paint is provided at the bottom of the device housing 7. A liquid pusher plate 11 is slidably installed inside the cavity 10 to push the paint liquid level up and immerse the blank fabric 1. Please refer to Figure 5 When processing the fabric 1, the device only needs to feed the fabric 1 through the feed inlet 8. The coating liquid level at the bottom is raised by the pusher plate 11 until the coating liquid level submerges the fabric 1. At this time, the upper and lower surfaces of the fabric 1 will be in full contact with the coating liquid, and a large amount of coating liquid is filled between the upper pressure plate 4, the fabric 1, and the lower pressure plate 5. Please refer to [the relevant documentation]. Figure 4 When the upper pressure plate 4 and the lower pressure plate 5 press the fabric 1 tightly and the liquid pusher plate 11 descends, the fabric 1 is no longer submerged in the coating. The upper pressure plate 4 and the lower pressure plate 5 will press out most of the coating on the surface of the fabric 1. However, since the upper pressure plate 4, the fabric 1, and the lower pressure plate 5 are relatively close, capillary action will occur between them. The liquid will not flow outward, but will form a stable liquid interface between the upper pressure plate 4, the fabric 1, and the lower pressure plate 5. At this time, it is only necessary to control the pressing gap between the upper pressure plate 4 and the lower pressure plate 5, that is, to control the thickness of the liquid interface. This thickness is the overall thickness of the coating on the upper and lower surfaces of the fabric 1, thereby achieving precise control of the coating thickness.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 4A vibration module 12, which generates high-frequency vibration, is embedded in the surface of the upper pressure plate 4 opposite to the blank 1. When the vibration module 12 is activated, it generates high-frequency vibration, which is transmitted to the blank 1. The vibration can even out the uneven coating on the blank 1. A heating module 13 is provided on the surface of the lower pressure plate 5 opposite to the blank 1. The heating module 13 contains a heating resistance wire. Below the heating module 13, a piezoelectric module 14 that generates current when subjected to vibration is also installed. The output end of the piezoelectric module 14 is connected to the heating module 13. When the high-frequency vibration generated by the vibration module 12 is transmitted to the piezoelectric module 14 of the lower pressure plate 5, the piezoelectric material in the piezoelectric module 14 will undergo slight deformation or displacement when subjected to mechanical pressure or vibration. This slight deformation can excite the charge separation phenomenon inside the material, thereby generating charge. When the piezoelectric material experiences stress or vibration, its internal lattice structure will undergo slight changes, leading to the separation of positive and negative charges, and thus generating charge difference. When the piezoelectric material is in this charge-separated state, it exhibits positive and negative polarization characteristics, generating a potential difference. This potential difference forms a current through the output terminal and is transmitted to the heating module 13, causing the heating module 13 to heat the coating between the upper pressure plate 4 and the lower pressure plate 5. This structural design of the lower pressure plate 5 eliminates the need for additional external wiring, and safety is not a concern when the lower pressure plate 5 is in contact with a large amount of liquid coating.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 The vibration module 12 has a liquid guide hole 15 that penetrates the vibration module 12. A liquid storage cavity 16 for storing coating is also provided between the vibration module 12 and the upper pressure plate 4. A vent hole 17 that penetrates the liquid storage cavity 16 is provided on the inner wall of the liquid storage cavity 16. This structure allows the upper pressure plate 4 to store a small amount of coating. When the pusher plate 11 rises, the vent hole 17 opens. At this time, there is no pressure difference between the coating and the outside, so it will flow into the liquid storage cavity 16. When the pusher plate 11 falls, the vent hole 17 closes. At this time, there is a pressure difference between the coating in the liquid storage cavity 16 and the outside, so the coating will be retained in the liquid storage cavity 16. When the vibration module 12 is started, if coating flows out in the liquid interface between the upper pressure plate 4 and the lower pressure plate 5, the suction force generated by capillary action is greater than the suction force generated by the pressure in the liquid storage cavity 16. The capillary action will draw the coating in the liquid storage cavity 16 to replenish the liquid interface and ensure that the coating on the surface of the fabric 1 is uniform.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 4The inlet 8 and outlet 9 are equipped with baffles 18 to prevent paint from flowing out. The baffles 18 open when the device is feeding or discharging and close when the device is processing. A hydraulic piston 19 is installed below the outer casing 7 to drive the pusher plate 11 to move up and down. A drive structure 20 is fixedly installed outside the outer casing 7 to drive the lower pressure plate 5 and the upper pressure plate 4 to move up and down. The drive structure 20 adopts a screw drive system, which can usually provide very high precision and stability, thereby achieving precise position control.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] The radar-absorbing coating in camouflage netting is composed of materials capable of absorbing electromagnetic waves. Applied to the surface of the target or camouflage fabric, it attenuates incident electromagnetic waves, achieving stealth. The selected nanomaterials can absorb radar waves and effectively absorb visible light and infrared radiation; the material size is between 30 and 100 nm. Due to their extremely small particle size and large specific surface area, nanomaterials exhibit unique physical and chemical properties, resulting in multiple scattering of electromagnetic waves. Because nanoparticles have high coercivity, they can induce hysteresis loss. The radar-absorbing coating 2 contains micron-sized carbonyl iron, micron-sized nickel powder, nano-sized carbon black, micron-sized silicon carbide, nano-graphene, and transparent resin solvent. The nano-sized graphene and other composite materials with good magnetic permeability and electrical conductivity and strong thermal conductivity are formulated to form a composite material with both magnetic and dielectric loss characteristics, which improves the attenuation capability of radar waves, and the generated heat can be quickly diffused into the air. The infrared-resistant coating 3 uses a heat dissipation layer made of high-melting-point polymer materials with low thermal conductivity to shield or quickly dissipate the heat inside the object to be camouflaged, reduce the difference in thermal infrared characteristics between the camouflaged target and the background, avoid the accumulation of thermal infrared radiation on the surface of the equipment, and achieve thermal infrared stealth.

[0041] The processing device for the integrated camouflage net that protects against radar waves and infrared reconnaissance involves feeding fabric 1 through inlet 8 during processing. The coating liquid level at the bottom is raised by the pusher plate 11 until the coating liquid level submerges the fabric 1. At this point, the upper and lower surfaces of the fabric 1 are fully in contact with the coating, and a large amount of coating is filled between the upper pressure plate 4, the fabric 1, and the lower pressure plate 5. When the upper pressure plate 4 and the lower pressure plate 5 press the fabric 1 tightly and the pusher plate 11 descends, the fabric 1 is no longer submerged in coating. The upper pressure plate 4 and the lower pressure plate 5 will press out most of the coating on the surface of the fabric 1. However, due to the relatively close distance between the upper pressure plate 4, the fabric 1, and the lower pressure plate 5, capillary action will occur between them, and the liquid will not flow outward. Instead, a stable liquid interface will be formed between the upper pressure plate 4, the fabric 1, and the lower pressure plate 5. At this point, it is only necessary to control the pressing gap between the upper pressure plate 4 and the lower pressure plate 5, that is, to control the thickness of the liquid interface. This thickness is the overall thickness of the coating on the upper and lower surfaces of the fabric 1, thereby achieving precise control of the coating thickness.

[0042] When the coating becomes uneven, the vibration module 12 is activated, transmitting vibration to the fabric 1. This vibration helps to even out the uneven coating on the fabric 1. Simultaneously, when the high-frequency vibration generated by the vibration module 12 reaches the piezoelectric module 14 of the lower pressure plate 5, the piezoelectric material within the piezoelectric module 14 undergoes minute deformation or displacement under mechanical pressure or vibration. This minute deformation can excite charge separation within the piezoelectric material, thereby generating charge. When the piezoelectric material experiences stress or vibration, its internal crystal structure undergoes minute changes, leading to the separation of positive and negative charges. When the piezoelectric material is in this state of charge separation, it exhibits positive and negative polarization characteristics, generating a potential difference. This potential difference forms a current through the output terminal and is transmitted to the heating module 13, causing the heating module 13 to heat the coating between the upper pressure plate 4 and the lower pressure plate 5.
