Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle fire fighting, and in particular relates to a water supply mechanism of a fire fighting unmanned aerial vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, fire accidents have occurred frequently. Due to inadequate control, manpower is out of reach when a fire occurs, making firefighting difficult. In addition, with the development of modern urban construction industry, the height of high-rise buildings is constantly being refreshed, which also brings a lot of trouble to firefighting and rescue. Especially when dealing with high-rise building fires, flammable and explosive firefighting problems, because firefighters cannot get close to or enter the scene of the disaster, they cannot control the fire danger in time to stop the loss.

[0003] In view of this, firefighting drones are gradually used in firefighting work. In China, many firefighting agencies have successfully used drones to conduct fire scene reconnaissance and monitoring, and throw rescue materials, and the effect is quite obvious. A water-spraying firefighting drone includes a drone body and a water spray head installed on the drone. One end of the water spray head is connected to a water supply pipe, and the water inlet end of the water supply pipe is connected to a water supply device on the ground. In the prior art, a water supply pipeline needs to be connected between the water-spraying firefighting drone and the water supply device, so that the water from the water supply device reaches the water spray head of the firefighting drone through the water supply pipeline to achieve continuous water spraying firefighting operations; in addition, in order to improve the power and continuous working ability of the firefighting drone, it is sometimes necessary to connect electricity from the ground to the firefighting drone, so that a power supply line is also connected between the firefighting drone and the ground. However, since the water supply pipeline and the power supply line themselves have a certain weight, especially when the water supply pipeline is full of water, the weight of the water supply pipeline becomes very heavy. When the firefighting drone lifts the water supply pipeline and the power supply line, a very large lifting force is required to achieve it.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] As a new industrial technology, drone firefighting has been widely used in various fields. Many firefighting agencies in China have successfully used drones to conduct fire scene reconnaissance and monitoring, and to drop rescue materials, with very obvious results. During the rescue of the Tianjin explosion, various departments also used drones to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance of the accident site, providing some reference for rescue decisions.

[0030] The overall solution of accurate, intuitive and comprehensive fire scene analysis data can provide timely information for on-site rescue. Based on this, there are very few multifunctional firefighting drones, especially those that can still perform tasks near the fire scene. Due to technical, engineering and funding issues, few people dare to touch them. Experts believe that with the popularization of science and technology, drones have gradually entered everyone's field of vision, among which industrial-grade drones have gradually been applied to various fields and played their own role, especially in high-risk fields dominated by firefighting. The use of drones to replace some human actions is self-evident for the firefighting industry. For this reason, we interviewed companies specializing in industrial-grade drones and learned about the importance and application of drones in the field of firefighting. Combined with the actual combat needs of the firefighting force, drones can play many roles in the firefighting force.

[0031] The UAV low-altitude monitoring system has the technical characteristics of rapid mobility, low cost, simple maintenance and operation, and has the ability to quickly patrol and monitor the ground in real time. It is a new type of medium- and low-altitude real-time television imaging and infrared imaging rapid acquisition system. It can detect forest fires in remote areas that cannot be covered by ground patrols at an early stage, and accurately grasp and timely understand various dynamic information at the scene of major forest fires; it can also solve the problems of aircraft patrols being unable to fly at night and being unable to fly due to reduced visibility caused by smoke. As a powerful supplement to existing forestry monitoring methods, it has its unique advantages in resource and environmental monitoring, forest fire monitoring and rescue command in areas that cannot be reached by cars and people. In particular, long-flight and large-load UAVs will surely be widely used in forest fire monitoring, prevention, firefighting, and post-disaster assessment.

[0032] Drones are not just a weapon of war, they are now also used in the civilian sector and can be used to deliver goods. They are also a very popular product among model aircraft enthusiasts. This technology is now being applied to city streets to enhance citizen safety and reduce losses caused by urban fires.

[0033] When a disaster occurs, using drones for disaster reconnaissance can, firstly, ignore the terrain and environment and conduct reconnaissance flexibly and flexibly, especially in some urgent, difficult and dangerous disaster sites where the reconnaissance team cannot conduct reconnaissance, drones can quickly conduct reconnaissance. Second, drone reconnaissance can effectively improve the efficiency of reconnaissance and identify the key factors of disaster accidents at the first time so that commanders can make correct decisions. Third, it can effectively avoid casualties, prevent people from entering toxic, flammable and explosive dangerous environments, and fully and carefully grasp the situation on the scene. Fourth, integrated detection modules are used for detection. For example, combustible gas detectors and toxic gas detectors are integrated to remotely detect the concentration of related gases at flammable and explosive and chemical accident disaster sites, thereby obtaining key information on dangerous areas.

[0034] The role of drones is not limited to disaster investigation. The various disaster accident scenes faced by fire brigades often change rapidly. In the process of handling disaster accidents, the use of drones for real-time monitoring and tracking can provide accurate disaster changes, making it easier for command centers at all levels to grasp the dynamic disaster situation in a timely manner, so as to make quick and accurate countermeasures and minimize losses.

[0035] Using drones to integrate or flexibly carry key equipment can provide assistance for rescue in various situations. First, integrated voice and loudspeaker modules can convey instructions. Using drones to shout or convey instructions in the air can be more effective than shouting or instructions on the ground. It is especially suitable for rescue in high-altitude and high-rise projects. Using drones as carriers can effectively convey key instructions. Second, it opens up rescue paths for rescue. For example, in water and mountain rescue, the use environment and range of existing throwers are very limited, and the accuracy is poor. Using rescue drones to assist in throwing ropes or carry key equipment (such as respirators, rescue ropes, etc.) can create new ways for rescue and open up life-saving channels, and it is accurate and efficient. Third, integrated communication equipment, using drones as communication relays. For example, in environments where there is communication blockage such as earthquakes and mountains, drones are integrated with relay modules to act as temporary relay stations, so that wireless communication links can be established in extreme environments. Fourth, drones are used for emergency mapping. By utilizing the drone’s integrated aerial photography and mapping module, all conditions at the disaster site can be recorded and transmitted to the on-site command center, and emergency mapping of the disaster site’s terrain can be conducted, providing strong support for the implementation of rescue operations.

[0036] Aerial photography can be used to achieve comprehensive and real-time monitoring of high-rise and super-high-rise buildings, timely detection of fire hazards, real-time control of fire situations at fire scenes, building fire inspections or on-site fire image storage, and the aerial surveillance video can be connected to other security or fire monitoring systems. It supports large-capacity and long-term image storage and retrieval, and supports remote viewing and control of some functions through smart terminals.

[0037] The number of fires and fire rescues increases year by year. The transmission of fire images at traditional disaster sites is easily affected by the external environment. For example, wired image transmission will be affected by the external environment, resulting in inaccurate fire information and affecting fire rescue decisions. Based on this, the use of drones to shoot, communicate, and monitor fire scenes can give full play to the applicability and stability of the equipment itself. Moreover, in the actual application process, the drone system itself has a relatively low application cost, is adaptable to a wide range of regions, and has the characteristics of fast transmission speed. In the actual application process, it can complement the modern image transmission system of the fire brigade. Effective monitoring and control of relevant images and data information at the fire scene can be achieved, so that drones can be applied to fire rescue.

[0038] The application of drones in firefighting and rescue is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0039] The first 6 minutes after a fire breaks out is the best time to put out a fire, while the golden time is only 30 seconds. Fast response speed is an important capability for firefighters. Drones have the advantages of fast speed, strong flexibility, and easy operation. They can quickly fly to the fire source after a fire breaks out. Drones can also be equipped with high-definition cameras and infrared thermal imaging equipment to monitor the fire scene in real time. They can fly over the fire scene and provide real-time images and videos to help firefighters understand the spread of the fire and the location of the fire source, and guide firefighting operations. In addition, drones can also be equipped with gas sensors to monitor the concentration of harmful gases in the fire, helping firefighters take protective measures in a timely manner.

[0040] In terms of fire scene search, drones can be equipped with high-definition cameras and infrared thermal imaging sensors to quickly scan the fire scene through aerial searches to find trapped people or other potential fire hazards. Drones can hover at low altitudes above the fire scene and find the location of trapped people and the existence of fire hazards through high-definition images and thermal imaging images, providing important information for rescue operations.

[0041] The fire extinguishing devices used by drones in the air include water tanks, foam tanks, dry powder tanks, etc. By controlling the drone, the fire extinguishing devices can be accurately placed on the fire scene to quickly extinguish the fire source. Another advantage of drone aerial firefighting technology is that it can hover at low altitudes above the fire scene and accurately extinguish the fire source, avoiding problems such as accidental injuries and secondary combustion that may exist in traditional firefighting methods.

[0042] Drones can carry life-saving equipment, medical equipment and other supplies and quickly deliver them to where they are needed, providing emergency rescue support. This is especially important for areas that are difficult to reach due to fires, especially when the fire spreads quickly or traffic is blocked.

[0043] In natural disasters or emergencies, communication infrastructure may be damaged or interrupted. Drones can be quickly deployed, equipped with communication equipment, to provide temporary communication support, helping disaster-stricken areas to communicate with the outside world in an emergency and assisting rescue and disaster relief efforts. Drones can be equipped with communication equipment to provide temporary communication support for firefighters. Especially in situations where communication is difficult at the fire scene, drones can serve as communication relay stations to transmit signals over long distances.

[0044] When a fire occurs, roads may be blocked or congested, preventing rescue vehicles from entering the scene smoothly. Drones can monitor the road conditions in real time, including traffic conditions, road blockages, etc., through aerial monitoring. In this way, the command center can dispatch traffic police and rescue vehicles in a timely manner based on the monitoring information of the drone to ensure that the rescue vehicles can quickly reach the fire scene.

[0063] First, fill the large water tank 3 with fire water, then move the entire mechanism to the vicinity of the fire location, and then drive the small water tank 19 to move towards the large water tank 3 through the first motor 10 and the screw 11, and finally connect the two. When the two are connected, pressure is generated on the first pressure sensing ring 37 and the second pressure sensing ring 38, and the pressure simultaneously controls the first electrically controlled one-way valve 36 and the second electrically controlled one-way valve 39 to open, and the high-pressure water pump in the large water tank 3 pumps the fire water into the outlet pipe 5, and finally enters the small water tank 19. After the fire water in the small water tank 19 is full, the first motor 10 and the screw 11 drive the small water tank 19 to separate from the large water tank 3, and the first pressure sensing ring 37 and the second pressure sensing ring 38 no longer feel pressure and control the first electrically controlled one-way valve 36 and the second electrically controlled one-way valve 39 to close. The clamping assembly has been pre-installed at the bottom of the fire-fighting drone. The fire-fighting drone clamps the small water tank 19 filled with fire water through the clamping assembly, and then flies to the vicinity of the fire. When the fire-fighting water in the small water tank 19 is used up, the drone transports the small water tank 19 back to the movable groove 17. The arc surface of the inner wall of the movable groove 17 can ensure that the small water tank 19 is smoothly introduced and placed in the movable groove 17. After the small water tank 19 is placed in the movable groove 17, the adjusting ends of the two adjusting rods 22 at the bottom of the positioning plate 20 are extended at the same time to control the connecting rod 29 to completely disengage from the blocking block, and then the drone rises and leaves the small water tank 19.
