Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and particularly relates to an all-terrain rescue unmanned aerial vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The technology of unmanned aerial vehicles was initially mainly used in the military field, such as reconnaissance and surveillance missions. With the progress of technology and the reduction of costs, unmanned aerial vehicles have gradually been applied to civilian fields, including agriculture, logistics, surveying and mapping, security, power line inspection, etc. In the field of emergency rescue, unmanned aerial vehicles have become an indispensable tool because they can quickly reach complex terrains and dangerous areas to provide real-time information and material delivery.

[0003] Limitations of existing unmanned aerial vehicles in rescue: Although unmanned aerial vehicles have many advantages in rescue, their application in complex terrains still faces many challenges. Traditional unmanned aerial vehicles mostly have fixed-wing or rotary-wing structures and are difficult to take off, land, and fly stably on rough terrains. For example, in environments such as mountains, forests, and urban ruins, unmanned aerial vehicles are easily affected by factors such as terrain undulations, tree blockages, and building debris, resulting in unstable flight postures and even crash accidents. In addition, the endurance of existing unmanned aerial vehicles is limited, and the batteries need to be frequently replaced or charged during long-term rescue missions, affecting the rescue efficiency.

[0004] Necessity of all-terrain rescue unmanned aerial vehicles: To overcome the limitations of traditional unmanned aerial vehicles in complex terrains, all-terrain rescue unmanned aerial vehicles have emerged. All-terrain rescue unmanned aerial vehicles need to have stronger adaptability and be able to take off, land, and fly stably on various terrains. This includes achieving self-balanced takeoff and landing on uneven ground and being able to flexibly adjust the posture during flight to avoid obstacles. At the same time, all-terrain rescue unmanned aerial vehicles also need to have a longer endurance to meet the requirements of long-term rescue missions. In addition, in order to obtain accurate information in complex rescue environments, all-terrain rescue unmanned aerial vehicles also need to be equipped with advanced sensors and imaging devices, such as infrared thermal imagers, high-definition cameras, lidar, etc., to realize functions such as real-time monitoring of the disaster area, disaster situation assessment, personnel search and rescue, and positioning.

[0005] Deficiencies of existing all-terrain unmanned aerial vehicle technologies: At present, although there have been some related researches and patent applications on all-terrain unmanned aerial vehicles, their technologies still have some deficiencies. For example, some all-terrain unmanned aerial vehicles are too complex in design, resulting in high manufacturing costs and being not conducive to large-scale popularization and application. In addition, the control systems of some all-terrain unmanned aerial vehicles are not perfect enough, and their autonomous decision-making and response capabilities need to be improved when facing complex terrains and emergencies. Moreover, there are also certain problems with the signal transmission stability of the communication systems of existing all-terrain unmanned aerial vehicles in complex environments, which may affect the information transmission between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the ground control center, thus affecting the smooth progress of the rescue mission. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies, the inventors of the present invention have, through long-term exploration and attempts, as well as multiple experiments and efforts, continuously reformed and innovated, and proposed an all-terrain rescue drone. Through four sets of arm leg mechanisms with adjustable length and angle and two sets of stretcher telescopic legs with adjustable length and angle, the present invention can automatically adjust the extension length of the legs and the angle of the foot plates according to the changes in different terrains, thereby ensuring good stability and adaptability of the drone on complex terrains and improving the success rate of rescue missions.

The configuration of these devices makes the UAV more comprehensive, professional and efficient when performing rescue missions.

[0022] 6. Stable stretcher limiting device: The telescopic arm in the rescue cabin restricts the front-back freedom degree of the basket stretcher, effectively avoiding the front-back displacement and left-right displacement of the stretcher. The positioning blocks on the telescopic bottom frame of the rescue cabin restrict the left-right freedom degree of the basket stretcher, effectively avoiding the left-right displacement of the stretcher, ensuring that the rescued personnel will not be subject to unnecessary injuries or discomfort during flight, and further improving the safety and comfort during the rescue process.

[0023] 7. Perfect warning system and protection mechanism: The ejection device at the bottom of the rescue cabin effectively ensures the complete separation of the rescue cabin from the main body of the fuselage. The airbags on both sides of the rescue cabin completely wrap the sides of the rescue cabin, ensuring the safety of the personnel in the rescue cabin in case of out-of-control situations and minimizing economic losses to the greatest extent.

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided below is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention.

[0038] It should be noted that: similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following figures. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0039] Example: As Figures 1-11As shown in the figure, an all-terrain rescue drone includes a fuselage 1 and a rescue cabin 2. The rescue cabin 2 is arranged on the top of the fuselage 1. A telescopic support rod 61 is arranged between the lower part of the front end of the rescue cabin 2 and the fuselage 1 to tilt the rescue cabin 2 backward. The rear part of the rescue cabin 2 is an inlet and outlet, and a cabin door 21 is arranged. A basket stretcher 6 is arranged in the rescue cabin 2. A telescopic bottom frame 62 is arranged between the basket stretcher 6 and the interior of the rescue cabin 2. The basket stretcher 6 is placed on a moving frame 621 of the telescopic bottom frame 62. The telescopic direction of the telescopic bottom frame 62 is set along the inlet and outlet direction of the exit of the rescue cabin 2 to extend or retract the basket stretcher 6 into or out of the rescue cabin 2. The moving frame 621 near one side of the exit of the rescue cabin 2 is rotatably connected with a stretcher telescopic leg 63 for ground support after the stretcher is extended out of the rescue cabin 2. The telescopic support rod 61 adopts a four-section structure to be installed in this space. This structure is a simple lifting structure, with both ends respectively located on the frame 11 of the fuselage 1 and the rescue cabin 2. At the same time, it is rotatably installed to realize deflections during lifting, etc., which will not be elaborated here. After reaching the designated rescue location, the telescopic rod of the rescue cabin 2 extends, the rescue cabin 2 tilts, and the basket stretcher 6 is moved to a suitable position through the telescopic bottom frame 62 and locked by the telescopic bottom frame 62, then longitudinal limiting can be carried out. The cabin door 21 can be opened and closed, and the cabin door 21 is used for operations such as taking out and putting in the basket stretcher 6.

[0040] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown in the figure, the telescopic bottom frame 62 includes a moving frame 621 and a telescopic arm 622. The telescopic arm 622 is respectively connected to the moving frame 621 and the inner wall of the rescue cabin 2. A positioning block 64 is arranged on the moving frame 621, and a positioning groove corresponding to the positioning block 64 is arranged at the bottom of the basket stretcher 6 for positioning the basket stretcher 6 and fixing it during telescoping, that is, the moving frame 621 moves along with the basket stretcher 6, and the moving frame 621 can move a long distance driven by the telescopic arm 622. Of course, the mechanisms of the moving frame 621 and the telescopic arm 622 are not specifically limited. For example, the moving frame 621 can be a slider and the telescopic arm 622 can be a slide rail or other similar displacement mechanisms.

[0041] As Figure 7As shown, a rotating device 631 is connected to the end of the movable frame 621 of the telescopic chassis 62 near the exit side of the rescue cabin 2. The rotating device 631 is connected to the stretcher telescopic leg 63. A first universal foot disc 632 is provided at the lower part of the stretcher telescopic leg 63. The rotating device 631 is mainly used for the movable frame 621 and the telescopic arm 622 to rotate to adapt to the ground conditions. The rotation angle is controlled by the main control box 7. The main control box 7 sets the relevant parameters for parking according to the scanned ground model. Of course, corresponding pressure sensors and other auxiliary means are also needed to determine that the ground can bear the weight to avoid soft ground that is difficult to bear the weight, etc., which will not be elaborated here. The first universal foot disc 632 is used to provide stable support for the UAV on the ground to prevent it from tipping over. The stretcher telescopic leg 63 in this embodiment adopts a three-section structure, which can achieve a shorter folded form for convenient storage into the rescue cabin 2. The rotation plane of the rotating device 631 is actually parallel to the telescopic surface of the telescopic chassis 62, that is, it is used to adjust the angle between the telescopic chassis 62 and the stretcher telescopic leg 63.

[0042] The aircraft body 1 includes a frame 11, a blade mechanism 12, a telescopic leg mechanism 13, and a landing telescopic leg 14 (the blade mechanism 12, the telescopic leg mechanism 13, and the landing telescopic leg 14 constitute the arm and leg mechanism, that is, it can achieve landing on uneven ground). The front end of the telescopic leg mechanism 13 is rotatably installed on the frame 11 in the horizontal plane. The upper part of the rear end of the telescopic leg mechanism 13 is installed with the blade mechanism 12. The frame 11 installs four groups of blade mechanisms 12 through four telescopic leg mechanisms 13 to form a quadcopter. Four telescopic leg mechanisms 13 are respectively provided at the lower parts of the rear ends of the telescopic leg mechanisms 13 corresponding to the blade mechanisms 12; the blade mechanism 12 includes a motor 121 and a blade 122. The motor 121 is sleeved on the rear end of the telescopic leg mechanism, and the motor 121 is connected to the blade 122; the landing telescopic leg 14 includes a telescopic leg 141 and a second universal foot disc 142. The telescopic leg 141 is installed vertically downward, and the second universal foot disc 142 is installed at the lowermost end; navigation lights 16 are provided on the outer sides of the ends of the telescopic leg mechanisms 13. The telescopic leg mechanism 13 can be telescoped to adjust the length according to the terrain requirements; the second universal foot disc 142 is used to provide stable support for the UAV on the ground to prevent it from tipping over; a certain impact force can be absorbed during the landing process for buffering and shock absorption; it can flexibly adapt to different terrains. The landing telescopic leg 14 can be telescoped to adjust the length according to the terrain requirements. The motor 121 provides power for the blade 122 to drive the blade 122 to rotate and control the flight attitude. The navigation lights 16 are used for the operator or ground personnel to clearly identify the position of the UAV. Especially in a long-distance or dim light environment, it can quickly locate and enhance visibility. The telescopic leg mechanism 13 adopts a two-section structure, and the landing telescopic leg 14 adopts a three-section structure. Of course, the number of sections can be flexibly set to meet the usage requirements.

[0043] As Figure 8As shown, the upper part of the frame 11 is in the shape of a groove. The rescue cabin 2 is placed in this groove. An airbag 31 is arranged between the groove of the frame 11 and the rescue cabin 2, and a popping device 32 is arranged between the rescue cabin 2 and the frame 11. As Figure 9 shown, the popping device 32 includes a base 321 and a strong strut 322. The base 321 is installed on the frame 11, and the strong strut 322 is installed in the base 321 and contacts the rescue cabin 2. The escape system 3 is composed of the popping device 32 and the airbag 31. In the present invention, the groove of the frame 11 is a flat-bottom V shape with horizontal lower parts on both sides of the inclined sides. Therefore, the rescue cabin 2 adopts an octagonal cross-section shape, which can achieve fitting the groove of the frame 11 while the structure of the rescue cabin 2 is relatively beautiful. The space is also relatively regular, and at the same time, the existence of right-angled edges is avoided, which is beneficial for the airbag to wrap the side surface and form Figure 11 the structure shown. At this time, it can be seen that the strong strut 322 has popped out, popping the rescue cabin 2 out of the drone, and then the airbag unfolds to wrap the side surface of the rescue cabin 2 to reduce the impact of falling. In fact, the connection between the rescue cabin 2 and the frame is the telescopic support rod 61 at the rear end and the rotating shaft in front that facilitates the lifting of the rescue cabin 2. The rotating shaft is broken by the popping of the strong strut 322, and the telescopic support rod 61 is unlocked and actively popped by using a locking structure. A physical pull rod can also be set inside the cabin to make it separate, etc. This technology is relatively simple and will not be elaborated here.

[0044] As Figure 2 shown, the aircraft body 1 is provided with a bottom cabin 15. The first battery compartment 151, the second battery compartment 152, and the main control box 7 are arranged in the bottom cabin 15. A lidar 51, a fresh air subsystem air inlet 431, a smoke detector 52, a camera 53, and a supporting cloud platform 531 are arranged outside the bottom cabin 15. The first battery compartment 151 and the second battery compartment 152 on the side of the bottom cabin are used as the main battery compartment and the backup battery compartment respectively, and the main battery and the backup battery are installed respectively. The main battery is used for normal flight, and the backup battery is used in case of emergencies such as power failure in the main battery compartment. The camera 53 and the cloud platform 531 are used for image acquisition, real-time monitoring, angle adjustment, and picture stabilization. The lidar 51 is used for terrain mapping, which can quickly and accurately obtain terrain and landform data; for environmental monitoring, it scans the forest and vegetation coverage, and monitors the vegetation height, density, etc. The smoke detector 52 is used for smoke detection, quickly judging the smoke diffusion range, concentration, etc., and assisting in rescue. The fresh air subsystem 43 is started according to detection or manually to adjust the internal air environment of the drone, continuously update the internal air, and maintain a good internal air state. The position where the fresh air subsystem air inlet 431 is located is where the equipment of the fresh air subsystem is located.

[0045] An oxygen cylinder 41, an air-conditioning compressor 421, a rescue supply compartment, a ventilation device 44, and an air-conditioning air outlet 422 are provided inside the rescue cabin 2. The rescue supply compartment is used to store rescue supplies and rescue tools from small to large. As long as the space has gaps that do not affect the safe use of the unmanned aerial vehicle, supply compartments can be set up. The oxygen cylinder 41 is used for medical first aid. For auxiliary rescue, it can also be used for emergency oxygen supply inside the rescue cabin 2, etc. Additional emergency oxygen cylinders or chemical oxygen supply and other measures can also be set inside the rescue cabin 2 as backup oxygen supply for escape. Of course, other required rescue equipment, etc. can also be configured inside the rescue cabin 2, which can be set as needed and will not be elaborated here. A ventilation device 44 is provided at the top of the rescue cabin 2, which is used to continuously exhaust the harmful gases of the rescue cabin staying on the ground, facilitating the rapid update of the gas inside the cabin to form a slightly positive pressure space and preventing the entry of harmful gases caused by fire. The ventilation device 44 exhausts air outward as needed. When maintaining positive pressure inside the cabin, it can stop working, or a cover plate can be used to seal the channel of the ventilation device 44 to reduce the probability of harmful gases entering the rescue cabin 2.

[0046] Of course, in this embodiment Figure 6 it can be seen that the oxygen cylinder 41 and the compressor 421 of the air-conditioning subsystem 42 are arranged in the grooves on the side of the frame 11, which can facilitate replenishment and form protection. The grooves on the side of the frame 11 can also be used to form a storage space, rescue supply storage, etc., which can be flexibly set and will not be elaborated here.

[0047] The rescue cabin 2 is equipped with a positive pressure system 4, which includes an oxygen cylinder 41, an air conditioning subsystem 42, and a fresh air subsystem 43. The oxygen cylinder 41 is used for supplying oxygen to the wounded during rescue and for emergency oxygen supply to the rescue cabin 2. For example, when it is necessary to pass through an oxygen-deficient area, such as a fire area or other environments where the rescue cabin 2 needs to be sealed and cannot obtain external air, the air conditioning subsystem 42 controls the temperature, and the fresh air subsystem 43 is used for fresh air input and positive pressure formation. The oxygen cylinder 41 is used for emergency oxygen supply. The air conditioning compressor 421 of the air conditioning subsystem 42 adjusts the intensity of refrigeration or heating to reach the set temperature environment, providing a suitable temperature environment for the wounded. The air conditioning air outlet 422 cooperates with the air circulation inside the cabin. The fresh air subsystem 43 provides clean air for the interior of the rescue cabin 2, mainly playing the role of air filtration. It is mainly used in a fire environment with thick smoke in the external air or other similar polluted environments. For other environments with gas poisoning, a targeted fresh air subsystem 43 should be set up. When necessary, the rescue cabin 2 should have the ability to be completely sealed to completely cut off the external environment. In the present invention, for the convenience of the ejection of the rescue cabin 2, the air conditioning subsystem 42 is actually installed on the frame 11. Only by docking the air conditioning air outlet 422 provided on the upper groove of the chassis with the air conditioning air outlet on the rescue cabin 2 can air supply be realized. At the same time, the air conditioning air outlet on the rescue cabin 2 is also used as the air inlet of the fresh air subsystem into the rescue cabin 2. This air outlet is set relatively large, and it can be understood that by partitioning this air outlet, it serves as both the air outlet of the air conditioner and the air outlet of the fresh air. When necessary, the air conditioning air outlet of the rescue cabin 2 can be sealed to maintain the overall sealing of the rescue cabin 2.

[0048] A main control box 7 is provided. The main control box 7 is electrically connected to the telescopic support rod 61, the telescopic chassis 62, the rotating device 631, the stretcher telescopic legs 63, the blade mechanism 12, the telescopic leg mechanism 13, the landing telescopic legs 14, the escape system 3, the positive pressure system 4, and the environment detection system 5. The main control box 7 is used to receive the data of the environment detection system 5 and control the operation of the telescopic support rod 61, the telescopic chassis 62, the rotating device 631, the stretcher telescopic legs 63, the blade mechanism 12, the telescopic leg mechanism 13, the landing telescopic legs 14, the escape system 3, and the positive pressure system 4. The main control box 7 is used for flight attitude regulation, power system management, signal processing and instruction execution, and real-time monitoring of the UAV status to ensure safety.

[0049] Usage method: During emergency rescue, the UAV flies to the designated rescue location. The bottom cabin camera and its pan-tilt head perform visual recognition to determine the position of the rescue personnel. The lidar detects the ground conditions under the all-terrain rescue UAV. The telescopic leg mechanism extends to different lengths so that the nearest landing point can reach the side of the person to be rescued. The rescue cabin door is opened, the rescue cabin tilts through the telescopic support rod, and then the basket stretcher extends through the telescopic chassis. The stretcher telescopic legs extend to different heights to adapt to the uneven ground, forming Figure 5In the shown form, after the person to be rescued is placed on the basket stretcher, the telescopic chassis drives the basket stretcher to reset. The rescue cabin returns to its position, the cabin door closes, and the air-conditioning compressor adjusts the temperature inside the cabin through the air-conditioning air outlet. The oxygen cylinder provides oxygen for the person to be rescued, and the ventilation device updates the air inside the cabin through the fresh air system air inlet in the bottom cabin. The motor drives the propeller to rotate, and the drone takes off. When it arrives at the designated position, the doors of each cabin of the rescue cabin open to release the person to be rescued. After the rescue cabin closes, the drone takes off again for the next rescue. The standby form is as Figure 5 the form, which is convenient for transportation and so on.

[0050] When the drone encounters an emergency, the escape system works. The strong strut of the ejection device pops out, forcing the rescue cabin to separate from the fuselage main body. After the rescue cabin separates from the fuselage main body, the airbags on both sides of the rescue cabin pop open to wrap the rescue cabin and reduce the impact of the fall.

[0051] This drone is mainly used for short-distance rescue in harsh natural environments. It only needs to fly from the dangerous area to the safe area. Therefore, the flight altitude only needs to avoid the obstructive environment, so its flight altitude will not be too high. If high-altitude flight is required, a parachute can be considered to reduce the impact on the rescue cabin.
