Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of low-altitude robots, and particularly relates to a cluster-type low-altitude robot inspection and fire extinguishing system and method. Background Art

[0002] The low-altitude monitoring system of unmanned aerial vehicles has technical characteristics such as being mobile and fast, having low usage costs, and being simple in maintenance and operation. It has the ability to quickly and real-time inspect and monitor the ground, and is a new type of rapid acquisition system for real-time television imaging and infrared imaging in the low and middle altitudes. It can detect fires at an early stage in high-rise buildings or remote areas that cannot be covered by ground patrols, and accurately grasp and timely understand various dynamic information at major fire sites; it can also solve problems such as the inability of aircraft patrols to fly at night and the inability to fly due to reduced visibility caused by smoke; as a powerful supplement to existing fire monitoring means, it has its unique advantages in resource and environmental monitoring in areas inaccessible to vehicles and people, high-rise building, forest fire monitoring and rescue command, etc.; using aerial photography to achieve comprehensive and real-time monitoring of high-rise and super high-rise buildings, timely detecting fire hazards, real-time control of the fire situation at the fire site, building fire inspections or storing images of the fire situation at the scene, and can connect the aerial monitoring video to other security or fire monitoring systems.

[0003] From the perspective of current technology, when a fire-fighting unmanned aerial vehicle arrives at the fire site, it still needs to rely on ground transportation tools such as fire trucks and transport vehicles, which requires a long driving distance and time, delaying the best opportunity for fire extinguishing. Especially for urban high-rise buildings and forest fires, after missing the initial stage of small-scale fire sources, even if the fire-fighting unmanned aerial vehicle arrives, it will be a drop in the bucket. Therefore, how to be able to conduct 24-hour uninterrupted inspections in the low-altitude area, and once smoke or abnormal temperature is detected, immediately mobilize a cluster of unmanned aerial vehicles to effectively control the fire situation before the ground fire-fighting equipment arrives, "striking early and small", becomes particularly important. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cluster-type low-altitude robot inspection and fire extinguishing system and method to solve the problems of rapid aerial response to fires, effective aerial fire control and extinguishing in the initial stage of fires.

According to the on-site fire situation, the multiple low-altitude robot nodes are grouped and formed into formations in real time to deal with different fire situations in different formations, automatically identify and aim at the fire source, release flame retardants, monitor the fire scale in real time, and transmit the fire site data back. S5. The low-altitude robot nodes that have released the flame retardants or have insufficient energy automatically choose to fly to the nearby takeoff and landing platform nodes. After automatic energy replenishment / replacement and automatic filling of flame retardants, they fly to the fire point again to extinguish the fire. S6. The above S5 step can be omitted, or steps S4 and S5 can be run once or cyclically until the task ends.

[0007] Optionally, step S3 further includes that the low-altitude robot node can inspect the nearby area through the camera module and / or the thermal imaging module, take pictures and identify smoke and / or the fire source.

[0008] Optionally, step S3 further includes that after the low-altitude robot detects a fire source, it transmits information to the cluster control module and the decision-making module through the cluster communication module. The decision-making module analyzes and evaluates the scale level of the fire source. According to the evaluation result, the cluster control module sends an alarm signal to the nearby low-altitude robot nodes that can be called, so that multiple low-altitude robot nodes immediately rush to the fire point.

The decision-making module and the cluster control module instruct the low-altitude robot node to carry out cyclic fire extinguishing according to the real-time state of the fire source.

The takeoff and landing platform node includes a standby energy source for cyclic replenishment and a continuously supplyable flame retardant.

[0012] Optionally, step S4 further includes that during the flight of the low-altitude robot, when the self-check module monitors that the device is abnormal or in an out-of-control state, it instructs the emergency buffer module to immediately start buffering to ensure the safety of the robot body or avoid secondary damage to the surrounding environment.

[0013] Optionally, step S3 further includes that during the fire extinguishing process of the low-altitude robot, the decision-making module continuously evaluates the scale of the fire source in real time, and adjusts the number and regional scope of the low-altitude robot nodes participating in the fire extinguishing according to the evaluation result, so as to realize the dynamic control of the fire extinguishing robot cluster.
