[0002] With the continuous development of drone technology, more and more drone enthusiasts have begun to use drones to take photos or videos. However, in the process of using drones, users often use drones in no-fly zones, which poses a hidden danger to air safety. For this reason, there is an urgent need for a device that can capture drones that are in a no-fly state. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an automatic image recognition and drone capture system, which can track and capture target drones in a no-fly zone, thereby eliminating the hidden dangers to air safety caused by no-fly drones.

[0004] The invention provides an automatic image recognition and capture drone, comprising a drone body, on which a power module, a main control module, an image acquisition module, a communication positioning module and an electrically controlled air pressure jet capture mechanism are installed; the main control module is electrically connected to the power module, the image acquisition module and the communication positioning module are both electrically connected to the main control module, and the electrically controlled air pressure jet capture mechanism is connected to the bottom of the drone body; when the main control module tracks a target drone in a no-fly zone via the image acquisition module, the main control module is used to drive the drone body to approach the target drone and capture the target drone via the electrically controlled air pressure jet capture mechanism.

[0005] The present invention can track and capture a target UAV in a no-fly zone, thereby eliminating the hidden dangers to air safety caused by the no-fly UAV.

[0006] In a possible implementation, the image acquisition module includes a camera, which is installed on the top of the drone body and is electrically connected to the main control module. By adopting this image acquisition module, the main control module can obtain images around the drone body in real time through the camera, and the main control module can determine whether there is a target drone in a no-fly state around the drone body based on the image data. If no target drone in a no-fly state is found, the drone body can fly according to the cruising route. If a target drone in a no-fly state is found, the drone body accelerates to approach the target drone in the no-fly state and finally captures the target drone through an electrically controlled pneumatic jet capture mechanism.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the communication and positioning module includes a communication unit, a GPS positioning unit and a compass unit; the communication unit, the GPS positioning unit and the compass unit are all electrically connected to the main control module; by adopting this communication and positioning module, the communication unit can realize wireless communication between the drone body and the ground control end, and the communication unit can adopt a 4G communication module, a 5G communication module, etc. The GPS positioning unit and the compass unit can perform real-time positioning of the drone body and the flight altitude, so that the ground control end can know the position and flight altitude of the drone body in real time.

[0008] In a possible embodiment, the electrically controlled pneumatic jet capture mechanism includes a support seat, a compressed air release component and a support sleeve with an inner cavity; the support seat is clamped on the bottom of the drone body, a socket is horizontally arranged on the support seat, the support sleeve is inserted into the socket and fixed to the support seat, the compressed air release component is inserted into the support sleeve from back to front, the rear end of the support sleeve is threadedly connected with a rear cover for closing the support sleeve, a push rod that can slide in the radial direction of the support sleeve is connected to the side wall of the support sleeve, an electrically controlled drive component is connected to the support seat, the electrically controlled drive component is used to push the push rod so that the push rod pushes the trigger end of the compressed air release component and causes the compressed air release component to release compressed air, and the electrically controlled drive component is electrically connected to the main control module; a concave cavity for accommodating a folded capture net is arranged in the middle of the front end of the support sleeve, and a plurality of jet holes connected to the inner cavity of the support sleeve are circumferentially arranged at the front end of the support sleeve located outside the concave cavity, each jet hole is embedded with a counterweight block, and a plurality of counterweight blocks are positioned The outer edge of the capture net in the concave cavity is fixed circumferentially, and a blocking cover is clamped on the front end of the support sleeve; after adopting this electrically controlled pneumatic jet capture mechanism, when the drone body tracks the target drone in a no-fly state, the electrically controlled drive component can push the push rod under the control of the main control module so that the push rod pushes the trigger end of the compressed air release component and the compressed air release component releases compressed air. At this time, the compressed air released by the compressed air release component can be ejected from the air jet hole, and the compressed air ejected from the air jet hole can push the counterweight block to make the counterweight block rush out of the air jet hole. When the counterweight block rushes out of the air jet hole, the counterweight block can push open the blocking cover, and several counterweight blocks can pull the edge of the capture net and make the capture net reliably unfolded (the capture net in a folded state can be pulled out of the concave cavity), and in the process of the counterweight block pulling the capture net, the capture net can capture the drone in the no-fly area to eliminate the hidden dangers caused by the no-fly drone to the safety of the sky.

[0009] In a possible implementation, each jet hole is inclined outward from the radial direction of the rear-to-front support sleeve; by adopting this structure, since each jet hole is inclined outward from the radial direction of the rear-to-front support sleeve, when the jet hole sprays compressed air and the compressed air pushes the counterweight block to rush out of the jet hole, the flight direction of the counterweight block can gradually deviate from the center of the support sleeve, thereby reliably allowing several counterweight blocks to pull the edge of the catching net and the catching net can be reliably deployed.
