Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of underwater rescue equipment, and in particular to a drone for searching for cars that have fallen into water. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, water rescue has become an important emergency service. In water accidents, especially in the search and salvage of vehicles that fall into the water, the traditional manual search method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also inefficient, and often fails to provide key information to the rescue team in a timely manner, resulting in obstruction of rescue operations. Although the rescue drones currently on the market can improve the efficiency of search and rescue to a certain extent, they still have many shortcomings when facing complex underwater environments. For example, existing drones are usually difficult to accurately locate metal objects underwater, especially in extremely low visibility conditions, it is difficult to quickly find the target location. In addition, although existing waterproof cameras can take videos or photos underwater, due to the lack of a stable lifting mechanism, the images they take are often unstable, affecting the accuracy and effectiveness of the information. Furthermore, since there is no structure specifically designed to support and stabilize the lifting system, such as a bearing seat and a fixing plate, these devices have poor working stability underwater and are prone to failure, reducing the reliability and service life of the equipment.

[0022] The motor seat 11 is provided with a bearing seat 15, one end of the rotating shaft 13 passes through the bearing seat 15, a fixing plate 16 is provided in the protective box 5, the two lifting screws 9 pass through the fixing plate 16 and are threadedly connected with the fixing plate 16, and a rotating rod 19 is provided on the lifting seat 8, and a waterproof camera 7 rotatably connected to the rotating rod 19 is sleeved on the rotating rod 19.

[0023] It should be noted that the magnets of the present invention are located under the two wings and the nose of the drone, and are distributed in a triangular array, so that objects in the water can be identified during the process of lowering the adsorbed metal body, and can only be adsorbed on the top of the car, thereby preventing the adsorption of some other metal objects.

[0024] Working principle of the present invention: First, a drone suitable for underwater rescue missions is designed, and its main structure includes a main fuselage 1, with wings 2 fixedly connected on both sides of the fuselage 1, and a retractable rope fixed at the lower end of the wing 2, and a neodymium magnet 4 attached to the end of the rope, which helps to absorb and drag underwater metal objects. A protective box 5 is fixed below the fuselage 1, and the protective box 5 contains a storage cavity 6 inside, and a waterproof camera 7 is installed in the storage cavity 6. The camera can be moved up and down by a built-in lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism consists of a lifting seat 8 arranged on the waterproof camera 7 and a lifting screw 9 threadedly connected thereto, and a bevel gear 10 is installed at the top of the lifting screw 9. A motor seat 11 is installed in the top sealed cavity of the protective box 5, and a lifting motor 12 and a rotating shaft 13 are arranged on the motor seat 11, and a bevel gear 2 14 meshing with the bevel gear 10 is arranged on the rotating shaft 13, and the lifting operation of the waterproof camera 7 is realized by the drive of the motor.

[0025] In order to ensure the smooth operation of the rotating shaft 13, a bearing seat 15 is also installed on the motor seat 11, so that one end of the rotating shaft 13 can pass through the bearing seat 15 and rotate freely. In addition, a fixing plate 16 is provided inside the protective box 5, and two lifting screws 9 pass through the fixing plate 16 and are threadedly connected thereto, so that the lifting mechanism can be kept stable during operation. Finally, a pump push protective cover 21 is fixed at the rear end of the fuselage 1, and an underwater pump push 20 is connected inside the protective cover, which is to provide power for the drone to move forward.

[0026] In addition, a rotating rod 19 is provided on the lifting seat 8 of the waterproof camera 7, and the rotating rod 19 is sleeved and rotatably connected to the waterproof camera 7, so that the angle of the camera can be flexibly adjusted to meet the shooting requirements of different angles. Through these designs, the drone can perform various tasks such as search and rescue in complex underwater environments, while ensuring the convenience and reliability of the operation of the equipment.

[0027] During the specific implementation, the sonar is turned on and large-area reflections are detected underwater. At the same time, the underwater high-definition camera starts imaging and uploads the picture to the ground terminal. The underwater drone travels directly above and releases three groups of neodymium magnets 4. The three groups of neodymium magnets 4 are simultaneously adsorbed on the car. The magnet rope is tightened, and the dynamometer starts to calculate the tension. When the tension value reaches the matching parameter range value, it is determined that the adsorbed object is the car body. At this time, the underwater unmanned vehicle rises vertically to the surface of the water as a positioning beacon. The ground rescue personnel organize rescue forces to carry out rescue.

[0028] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0030] The present invention and its embodiments are described above, and such description is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if ordinary technicians in the field are inspired by it, without departing from the purpose of the invention, they can design a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution without creativity, which should belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
