Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mother-and-child UAVs, and in particular to an unmanned unexploded ordnance removal system based on a mother-and-child UAV platform. Background Art

[0002] Unexploded ordnance mainly originates from wars or military conflicts. During conflicts, in order to achieve strategic goals, the military will use a large number of various explosive ordnance. However, due to the complexity of the battlefield environment, the limitations of technical equipment, and human factors, not all dropped ordnance can be successfully detonated, leaving unexploded ordnance. These unexploded ordnance may be distributed in every corner of the battlefield, including cities, villages, forests, rivers and other areas, posing a long-term threat to the life safety and economic development of local people. Although the traditional manual bomb disposal method is effective, it requires bomb disposal personnel to directly approach the explosives to operate, which is extremely dangerous and relatively inefficient. At the same time, due to the limitations of natural conditions such as terrain and weather, manual bomb disposal often fails to achieve the desired effect.

[0003] With the development of unmanned systems, a number of unmanned bomb disposal solutions have emerged. A bomb disposal robot (CN117656097A) uses a ground unmanned vehicle equipped with a manipulator to transport unexploded ammunition; a mine sweeping and bomb disposal quadruped robot and mine positioning method (CN117901134A) uses a quadruped robot equipped with a manipulator to transport unexploded ammunition; an explosive disposal device and an explosive disposal robot based on shaped jet detonation (CN212458155U) rely on the tracked robot structure and use a shaped warhead to carry out unmanned destruction of unexploded ammunition. The above solutions have promoted the development of the unmanned bomb disposal field to a certain extent, using ground unmanned units to transport or destroy unexploded ammunition. Compared with traditional methods, it effectively avoids close contact between bomb disposal personnel and explosives, thereby significantly reducing the risk of casualties; at the same time, since the whole process is unmanned, the operation efficiency is improved, but the above solutions have low manufacturing and detection efficiency, poor terrain adaptability, and high maintenance costs. In order to solve these problems, a drone-mounted bomb disposal manipulator (CN217494280U) is disclosed, which uses a drone-mounted manipulator to transport unexploded ammunition; a drone-based bomb disposal and transfer system (CN207985202U) is disclosed, which uses a drone-mounted manipulator with a drill to transport unexploded ammunition; a system and method for coordinated disposal of unexploded bombs by air-to-ground unmanned platforms (CN117109387A) is disclosed, which uses a drone-mounted quadruped robot to transport unexploded ammunition; and a drone-based suspended bomb disposal device (CN219904724U) is disclosed, which uses a drone-mounted suspended bomb disposal device to pick up and destroy unexploded ammunition.

[0004] In summary, in the prior art, the bomb disposal devices or systems usually use drones equipped with mechanical arms or ground units to operate independently according to ground conditions, resulting in high costs, strong technology dependence, and complex operations.

[0071] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The bomb disposal sub-UAV 2 includes a second UAV fuselage, a second flight control system and a destruction system. The second UAV fuselage includes a second UAV center disk 201 and a second arm 202. The second UAV center disk 201 is surrounded by at least four second arms 202.

The second internal perception system monitors and controls the drone's own status in real time. The inertial measurement unit measures the drone's acceleration and angular velocity in real time through an integrated three-axis accelerometer, three-axis gyroscope and magnetometer, thereby inferring the drone's attitude; the speed measurement unit is used to monitor the speed of the drone's motor in real time to maintain the drone's stable flight attitude and balance state.

[0073] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mother-child drone connection device includes a telescopic rod 3, a magnetic male head 4 and a magnetic female head 5. The telescopic rod 3 can be composed of a multi-section pull rod with a guide groove, which can be completely located in the landing gear 103 of the inspection mother drone 1 when retracted, and can be placed outside the landing gear 103 when unfolded. The magnetic male head 4 and the magnetic female head 5 use the principle of electromagnets to connect and separate the inspection mother drone 1 and the bomb disposal child drone 2.

[0074] In one embodiment, the detection and destruction of unexploded bomb targets includes the following steps:

[0075] The initial schematic diagram is as follows Figure 1 First, the inspection mother UAV 1 and the bomb disposal sub-UAV 2 are connected by the mother-mother UAV connecting device, and the mother UAV connecting device is in a retracted state.

[0076] Secondly, the ground station issues a bomb disposal mission, and at the same time controls the inspection mother UAV 1 to take off and cruise through the remote control. The receiver mounted on the inspection mother UAV 1 receives the radio signal, and then the inspection mother UAV 1 performs the flight mission.

[0077] The inspection mother drone 1 detects and identifies unexploded bomb targets through an external sensing module, and after detecting the unexploded bomb targets, it hovers in the airspace above them; then it descends according to the distance between it and the unexploded bomb targets, and reaches the range of the shaped charge jet warhead 206.

[0078] Again, the telescopic rod 3 in the mother-child drone is extended and unfolded, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown; then the bomb disposal sub-UAV 2 starts to hover by paddling.

[0079] Then, the inspection mother UAV 1 further obtains the precise position of the unexploded bomb target through the external sensing module, and transmits it to the second communication module of the bomb disposal sub-UAV 2 through the first communication module; the second flight main controller of the bomb disposal sub-UAV 2 receives and processes the precise position information of the unexploded bomb target from the second communication module, adjusts the attitude of the attitude adjustment gimbal 205 through the No. 1 steering gear 203 and the No. 2 steering gear 204, so that the shaped jet warhead 206 is aimed at the unexploded bomb target, and the bomb disposal sub-UAV 2 and the inspection mother UAV 1 perform detonation parameter setting, coding, and release operations. After successful docking, the inspection mother UAV 1 returns an ignition request to the ground workstation.

[0080] Next, the ground workstation issues an ignition command to the inspection mother UAV 1 when observing that the surrounding environment is safe, and the inspection mother UAV 1 transmits the command to the bomb disposal daughter UAV 2; then the shaped jet warhead 206 prepares for ignition and launches after 30 seconds.

[0081] Finally, the mother-child drone connection device is disconnected; by cutting off the power, the magnetic male head 4 and the magnetic female head 5 are separated. Figure 8 As shown; the inspection mother drone 1 then evacuates to a safe airspace to monitor the bomb disposal scene.

[0082] At this time, the bomb disposal sub-UAV 2 self-destructs; after the bomb disposal mission is completed, the inspection mother UAV 1 returns to continue the next bomb disposal mission.

[0083] The present invention is composed of a patrol mother drone and a bomb disposal sub-drone. The patrol mother drone is mainly responsible for patrol and transportation functions, and can be recycled; the bomb disposal sub-drone has simple functions and is only responsible for hovering and carrying the bomb disposal system. It has low cost, is easy to operate, and can be mass-produced. Among them, the inspection mother drone and the bomb disposal sub-drone integrate the identification and destruction functions, realize multi-task parallel processing, improve the operation efficiency, and significantly reduce the risk of bomb disposal operations and ensure the safety of personnel. In addition, the patrol mother drone and the bomb disposal sub-drone can work regardless of the terrain, have strong environmental adaptability, and a wide range of applications.
