Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and in particular relates to an autonomous escape-type aviation black box unmanned aerial vehicle system. Background Art

[0002] With the development of aviation technology, the performance and reliability of black boxes, as critical safety equipment on aircraft, have attracted widespread attention from the global aviation industry and research institutions. Although existing black box systems are carefully designed to withstand extreme shock and high temperatures, they still face a series of challenges and defects. Globally, several aviation manufacturing giants, including Boeing in the United States and Airbus in Europe, as well as regulatory agencies such as the Civil Aviation Administration of China, are promoting the advancement of black box technology. But even so, traditional black boxes may still fail in extreme accidents due to mechanical damage, fire or underwater pressure. Therefore, despite huge investment in the research and development of black box technology worldwide, the current black box system still has key defects such as damage, difficulty in rapid positioning and high data recovery costs. The existence of these problems, coupled with the experience of the difficulty of recovering black boxes in several major aviation accidents in recent years, highlights the urgency of developing more advanced, reliable and efficient black box systems.

[0020] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1As shown, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an autonomous escape aviation black box drone system which can automatically escape from an aircraft before the aircraft crashes and ensure the safety of the black box and facilitate the search.

[0022] The present invention provides an autonomous escape-type aviation black box drone system, comprising an ejection system and a drone system, such as Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the UAV system is installed on the upper part of the ejection system, and can eject the passenger plane under certain conditions and deploy the UAV to achieve escape flight; the ejection system is divided into an ejection base, a rope tractor, an elastic rope and a T-shaped buckle from bottom to top, the rope tractor is installed behind the ejection base, the elastic rope connects the ejection base and the T-shaped buckle, and the T-shaped buckle is fixed on the UAV system; the UAV system includes a landing gear, a sliding wheel, an airbag bag, a temperature sensor, a camera module, a navigation beacon module and a fuselage; the sliding wheel is installed under the landing gear, the airbag bag is installed on both sides of the landing gear, the landing gear, the temperature sensor and the camera module are installed together at the bottom of the fuselage, and the navigation beacon module is installed at the tail of the fuselage; four arms are installed on both sides of the fuselage, and the outer end of each arm is installed with a rotor mechanism. The fuselage is equipped with a black box, an arm limit buckle, a power supply, and an arm drive module, wherein there are eight arm limit buckles fixed at the starting point and end point of the arm rotation stroke.

[0023] During the plane crash, the fuselage attitude sensor will send a crash alarm to the pilot. If the pilot does not cancel the alarm within 5 seconds. The black box escape system will start working, the track limit buckle on the ejection base will open immediately, and the drone system carrying the black box will fly out from the tail of the passenger plane through the traction ejection of the elastic rope, unfold the retracted arm, and rotate the propeller to take off and hover in the air. At this time, the positioning beacon will be activated, and the drone's navigation module will guide the drone to fly to the nearest land in the 120-degree horizontal fan-shaped area facing the direction of the passenger plane's crash, and confirm that there is no fire at the landing site through the temperature sensor module and visual module under the drone. After confirming that the landing site is safe, the drone will slowly descend to a height of 2.5m from the landing point and hover again. At this time, the airbag under the drone will be inflated and unfolded. After the airbag is inflated to the right position, the drone will slowly land again. If the landing point is on the water, the airbag can also act as a floating raft waiting for the rescue team to recover it.
