Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of gun accessories, and in particular relates to a gun-mounted drone catcher. Background Art

[0002] Small drones are one of the commonly used strategic weapons and equipment in modern battlefields. They have the characteristics of small size, strong mobility and low cost. They perform battlefield observation, fixed-point sniping, self-destruction attacks and other tasks in modern battlefields. When facing drone attacks in modern battlefields, drone jammers and capture devices can be used to make drones lose their ability to move, but these devices are usually large in size or rely on professional equipment to be used normally. When soldiers are fighting, especially when they are fighting alone or in groups, they are restricted by the weight of the load and cannot carry drone jammers and capture devices at any time. This results in that when soldiers encounter drones, there is usually no effective countermeasure, resulting in a large number of casualties among soldiers. Therefore, a simpler, more effective and portable drone countermeasure device is needed. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention provides a gun-mounted drone catcher to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a gun-mounted drone catcher, comprising a muzzle connection component connected to the muzzle and a launching component for launching a drone capture net, The muzzle connection assembly comprises a muzzle connection pipe and a flow divider connected coaxially, the flow divider has a plurality of flow dividers, the axes of the plurality of flow dividers are radial, and a gas containing chamber is provided between the muzzle connection pipe and the flow divider; The launching assembly includes launching tubes and counterweights whose number is the same as the diversion ports, the launching tubes are connected to the diversion ports, the counterweights are connected to the side of the launching tubes facing away from the counterweights, and a capturing net is connected to the counterweights so that the high-pressure gas generated by firing blank cartridges drives the counterweights to fly out along the axial direction of the launching tubes.

[0005] A preferred embodiment further comprises an outer shell, wherein the outer shell is sleeved on the outer side of the launching tube.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the diverter head has a mounting groove, and the housing is detachably connected to the diverter head through the mounting groove.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the shell is made of a flexible material, the unfolded surface of the shell is fan-shaped, and two sides of the fan-shaped shell have connecting grooves and connecting protrusions that match each other.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the inner surface of the shell has a plurality of fixing clips for fixing the capture net.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the diverter head is detachably connected to the muzzle connecting tube, and the launching tube is detachably connected to the diverter head.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the end of the muzzle connecting tube facing away from the diverter head has a threaded sleeve connected to the muzzle.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the counterweight block includes a pointed head portion and a flat tail portion, and the pointed head portion is close to the diversion port.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the capture net is square, the number of the counterweight blocks is four, and the four counterweight blocks are respectively connected to the four corners of the capture net.

[0013] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: 1. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the gun-mounted drone catcher is connected to the muzzle through a muzzle connecting tube, so that the gun-mounted drone catcher can be used as a gun accessory. When facing a drone, the gun-mounted drone catcher can be installed on the soldier's gun, thereby effectively countering the invasion of the drone. At the same time, the gun-mounted drone catcher has the characteristics of small size, easy to carry, easy to use, and does not affect the normal use of the gun.

[0014] 2. The gun-mounted drone catcher is connected to the muzzle through the muzzle connecting tube, so that the high-temperature and high-pressure gas generated by the gun firing blank bullets can be used to expand in the gas containing chamber. The expanded gas is diverted by the diverter head and enters the launch tube through the diverter port, thereby pushing the counterweight block in the launch tube to be ejected along the axial direction of the launch tube. The counterweight block unfolds the folded capture net during the flight. After the capture net hits the drone, the capture net is entangled in the wings of the drone, causing the drone to lose its ability to fly and fall. This effectively avoids the invasion of drones and effectively counters drones. Especially when a suicide drone dives towards a soldier, the soldier can quickly counter it through the gun-mounted drone catcher, causing the drone to fall during the dive, thereby improving the soldier's survivability.

[0015] 3. The setting of the outer shell facilitates the placement of the capture net, provides a semi-enclosed placement space for the capture net, facilitates the stacking of the capture net, and prevents the capture net from spreading out before firing, which affects normal firing. The capture net is connected to the outer shell by using a fixing clip, and the opening direction of the fixing clip is the ejection direction of the counterweight block, so that after the capture net is fired, the capture net automatically escapes from the fixing clip under the kinetic energy of the counterweight block. At the same time, the outer shell is made of flexible material, which is convenient for the connection, replacement and carrying of the outer shell. Before firing the capture net, the outer shell with the net and the launch tube can be connected to the diverter head as a whole in advance, and then connected to the muzzle connecting tube. After the capture net is fired, the capture net can be fired a second time by replacing the assembled diverter head. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present invention, a detailed description is given below in an exemplary manner in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0019] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention.

[0021] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a communication; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0022] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the first feature "on" or "under" the second feature may be that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "implementation method", "example", "one embodiment", "example" or "specific example" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0023] Example 1 A preferred embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8As shown, a gun-mounted drone catcher includes a gun muzzle connection component 1 connected to a gun muzzle and a launch component 2 for launching a drone catcher net. The gun muzzle connection component 1 can be directly connected to a gun weapon carried by a soldier in combat through a screw sleeve 111, or can be connected to a gun muzzle accessory such as a flash suppressor, a compensator, and a silencer through the screw sleeve 111. The gun-mounted drone catcher can also be used as a gun accessory.

[0024] Specifically, Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, the muzzle connection assembly 1 includes a muzzle connection tube 11 and a diverter head 12 connected coaxially, the end of the muzzle connection tube 11 facing away from the diverter head 12 has a screw sleeve 111 connected to the muzzle, the diverter head 12 has a plurality of diverter ports 120, preferably four diverter ports 120, the axes of the four diverter ports 120 are radially centered on the axis of the muzzle connection tube 11, the angles between the axes of any two adjacent diverter ports 120 are the same, and a gas containing chamber 121 is provided between the muzzle connection tube 11 and the diverter head 12; this allows, after the gun-mounted drone catcher is connected to the muzzle, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas generated by firing blank cartridges by the gun to be used as power, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas to expand in the gas containing chamber 121, and during the expansion process, the gas passes through the diverter head 12, so that the gas evenly enters the four diverter ports 120.

[0025] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the launching assembly 2 includes launching tubes 21 and counterweights 22, the number of which is the same as the diversion port 120. The launching tubes 21 are connected to the diversion port 120, and the counterweights 22 are connected to the side of the launching tubes 21 facing away from the counterweights 22. A capturing net 23 is connected to the counterweights 22 so that the high-pressure gas generated by firing blank cartridges drives the counterweights 22 to fly out along the axial direction of the launching tubes 21.

[0026] Optional, such as Figure 8 As shown, the capture net 23 is a square, and four counterweights 22 are respectively connected to the four corners of the capture net 23. The number of the counterweights 22, the launch tube 21 and the diversion port 120 is selected to be four, which can facilitate the connection between the counterweight 22 and the capture net 23 and the deployment of the capture net 23 during the flight of the counterweight 22, and on the other hand, to avoid the gas generated by firing the blank cartridge from being unevenly distributed in the launch tube 21 after being diverted through the diversion port 120, thereby affecting the initial velocity of the counterweight 22 when it flies out of the launch tube 21.

[0027] When a soldier is engaged in single-soldier or group combat and encounters an attack by a drone, the soldier can connect the gun-mounted drone catcher to the gun he carries, and then aim at the drone and fire blanks. At this time, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas generated by firing the blanks will enter the gas containing chamber 121 of the muzzle connecting tube 11 through the barrel, and expand in the gas containing chamber 121. During the expansion process, the gas passes through the diverter head 12 and evenly enters the four diverter ports 120, and then enters the launch tube 21 through the diverter port 120. At this time, the gas expands in the launch tube 21, and after being resisted by the counterweight block 22, its power pushes the counterweight block 22 to be ejected along the axial direction of the launch tube 21. The ejected counterweight block 22 carries the capture net 23 and flies toward the drone. In the direction of the man-machine, since the four diversion ports 120 are radial, the axial direction of the launch tube 21 connected thereto also extends radially, and the counterweight 22 ejected from the launch tube 21 will naturally fly out radially. In the process of the counterweight 22 flying out, the distance between the four counterweights 22 gradually increases, and the capture net 23 connected between the counterweights 22 will gradually open under the pull of the counterweights 22. When the capture net 23 touches the drone, the capture net 23 is entangled in the wings of the drone, causing the drone to lose its flying power and fall. In this way, the invasion of drones on soldiers can be effectively avoided, and drones can be effectively countered. Especially when a suicide drone dives towards a soldier, the soldier can quickly counter it through a gun-mounted drone catcher, causing the drone to fall during the dive, thereby improving the soldier's survivability.

[0028] Example 2 like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, a gun-mounted drone catcher is different from Example 1 in that the launching assembly 2 further includes a shell 3 which is sleeved on the outside of the launching tube 21 .

[0029] Specifically, the splitter head 12 has a mounting groove 110, and the housing 3 is detachably connected to the splitter head 12 through the mounting groove 110. The housing 3 is made of a flexible material, such as Figure 7 As shown, the unfolded surface of the shell 3 is fan-shaped, and the two sides of the fan-shaped shell 3 have connecting grooves 32 and connecting protrusions 31 that cooperate with each other. The inner surface of the shell 3 has a plurality of fixing clips 33 for fixing the capture net 23, and the opening direction of the fixing clips 33 is the same as the axis of the launch tube 21.

[0030] The setting of the shell 3 is convenient for placing the capture net 23, providing a semi-enclosed placement space for the capture net 23, facilitating the stacking of the capture net 23, and preventing the capture net 23 from spreading before firing, thereby affecting normal firing. The capture net 23 is connected to the shell 3 by using a fixing clip 33, and the opening direction of the fixing clip 33 is the ejection direction of the counterweight 22, so that after the capture net 23 is fired, the capture net 23 automatically escapes from the fixing clip 33 under the kinetic energy of the counterweight 22. At the same time, the shell 3 is made of flexible material, which is convenient for connecting, replacing and carrying the shell 3. Before firing the capture net 23, the shell 3 with the net and the launch tube 21 can be connected to the shunt head 12 as a whole in advance, and then connected to the muzzle connecting tube 11. After the capture net 23 is fired, the capture net 23 can be fired again by replacing the assembled shunt head.

[0031] Further, the shunt head 12 is detachably connected to the muzzle connecting tube 11, and the launching tube 21 is detachably connected to the shunt head 12. The connection mode can be threaded connection, and the detachable connection mode is convenient for the assembly and disassembly of the gun-mounted drone catcher.

[0032] Furthermore, the counterweight 22 includes a pointed portion 220 and a flat tail portion 221, and the pointed portion 220 is close to the diversion port 120. On the one hand, the counterweight 22 can be used to seal the launch tube 21, so that the high-temperature and high-pressure gas pushes the counterweight 22 to be ejected along the launch tube 21 after passing through the diversion port; on the other hand, the relative positions of the counterweights 22 in the four launch tubes 21 can be made the same, thereby ensuring that the counterweights 22 in the four launch tubes 21 have the same initial velocity when ejected.

[0033] Anything not described in the present invention can be achieved by adopting or drawing on existing technologies.

[0034] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.

[0035] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent substitution, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
