Description

Technical Field The present invention relates to a firearm, in particular to a gun and bullet module based on a small unmanned aerial vehicle. Background Art There are several shortcomings in the current field of drone-mounted guns: 1. Large size and loud noise, making them easy targets, and they cannot enter narrow places for combat; 2. Poor maneuverability and bulky weight, often requiring more than two people to operate, making transportation difficult; 3. Poor accuracy, mechanical ignition easily interferes with aiming, and there is a delay; 4. The complex mechanical structure is prone to jamming failures, which is very embarrassing in the sky; 5. Expensive; 6. Single function and limited application; Therefore, a new gun and bullet module that is high-precision, lightweight, easy to control, reliable, and can be perfectly combined with small drones urgently needs to be studied. To this end, we propose a gun and bullet module based on a small drone. Summary of the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose a gun and bullet module based on a small unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0001] In response to the existing technical deficiencies, the present invention provides a gun and bullet module based on a small UAV, so as to achieve the purpose of rapid maneuvering attack and defense on the battlefield.

[0002] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows: a gun and bullet module based on a small drone, including the external hanging device which is actually a carrier sleeve, with four bullets mounted inside, and a camera and an arc generator mounted outside, and the external hanging device can be connected to the small drone.

[0003] The main core technology of the present invention lies in four bullets. The bullets are a closed structure that integrates the gun and the bullets. The bullets are fired by electric arc ignition. Single-shot bullets are disposable. There are two types of bullets, namely armor-piercing bullets and shotgun bullets.

[0004] Preferably, a single-shot bullet weighs about 170 grams and is about 27 cm long. The front part is the barrel, the rear part is the gun belly, and the rear part is a small parachute. The barrel is a composite barrel with a designed diameter of 5.88 mm. The outer barrel is made of steel and the inner part is made of plastic, that is, a plastic gun chamber. The barrel is thin in front and thick in the back, and a dust-proof sealing film is provided at the barrel outlet; two wires are provided outside the gun belly, which are inserted into the gun belly through an insulator. Gunpowder is built into the gun belly, and an arc generator is connected to the outside of the wires. When ignited, the arc generator generates a high-voltage pulse current, which is transmitted into the gun belly through the wires to generate an arc, thereby instantly detonating the gunpowder, pushing the bullet forward, and the gun body detaches from the module backward (flies about eight meters backward). The small parachute at the rear of the gun opens and slowly lands. Since there is no need to consider the recoil problem, gunpowder can be increased in an appropriate amount according to actual conditions to ensure the range.

[0005] Preferably, the armor-piercing cartridge contains an armor-piercing bullet. The armor-piercing bullet is a pointed bullet with sharp diagonal lines on the body. The bullet's diagonal lines are embedded in the plastic barrel. When the bullet is fired, the plastic barrel is cut by the bullet's diagonal lines. At the same time, the bullet also follows the trajectory of the diagonal lines, rotating at high speed inside the plastic barrel and being ejected. To ensure airtightness and improve accuracy, the gap between the bullet and the plastic barrel is zero. In addition, to reduce friction and increase the initial velocity of the bullet, a small amount of lubricating oil is built into the plastic barrel. Because the bullet is disposable, there is no need to consider the risk of the barrel cracking due to repeated use. The lubricating oil in the barrel ensures the smooth flow of the bullet. The dustproof sealing film at the muzzle protects the bullet from external interference, further reducing the risk of barrel explosion.

[0006] Preferably, the shotgun cartridge contains approximately nine shotgun shells arranged in a straight line, each with a diameter of approximately 5.9mm. The rest of the barrel is similar to armor-piercing ammunition. Because the rear pellets push the front pellets, the shotgun shells form a regular ring after exiting the chamber, resulting in a narrower dispersion than conventional shotguns. However, combined with the destructive power, accuracy, and maneuverability of the 5.9mm steel balls, four of these shotgun shells are suitable for small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to pursue and kill drones.

[0007] It should be noted that the gun barrel and the gun belly of the present invention can be connected by threads to facilitate production and assembly.

[0008] It should be noted that the bullet described in the present invention does not have rifling, but instead has a plastic barrel and a sealed structure with lubricating oil, which maximizes the use of air pressure to increase the range; the bullet described in the present invention is electrically arc ignited and has no firing time difference, thereby improving accuracy.

[0009] It should be noted that the present invention provides a gun and bullet module based on a small drone. In order to perfectly cooperate, it is necessary to design another small drone to integrate them into one. Of course, ordinary small drones can also be mounted in a bundled manner, but the shooting angle will be limited. Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a small drone-based gun and bullet module, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. Compared with the existing drone-mounted gun technology, the advantages of this invention are lightweight, high precision, good maneuverability, and easy control. It can be perfectly combined with small drones and is an ideal gun and ammunition module for the future development of small AI unmanned attack aircraft. 2. Compared with suicide drones, the present invention can carry four armor-piercing bullets. Although it is ineffective against heavy tank armor, it can hunt ground robot dogs and enemy personnel. It can shoot at a long distance or outside the protective net. It has strong cross-country survivability and can conduct light reconnaissance or evacuation after shooting. 3. Compared with existing anti-UAV equipment, it can carry four shotgun shells for mid-course interception and can intercept up to four targets in one flight. A single soldier can operate it by hiding in a bunker and cooperating with a single-soldier radar. The coverage range is about 5 kilometers in radius, and it plays an important role in places where anti-UAV vehicles cannot enter or are afraid of exposing their own targets. 4. In addition to battlefield applications, this invention has also been used by armed police forces to pursue terrorists, deter criminals, break windows and fly into houses or cars to snipe criminals (to avoid using suicide drone bombs to injure innocent people). 5. In addition, the present invention does not have the complex mechanical structure of ordinary firearms and has good reliability, providing a technical basis for the future development of individual terminal anti-drone ammunition combined with rifles. The parts not involved in the device are the same as those in the prior art or can be implemented by using the prior art. The present invention is easy to operate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention is a gun and bullet module based on a small UAV, comprising an external hanging device 2, which is actually a carrier sleeve, with four rounds of gun bullets 1 mounted inside, a camera 3 and an arc generator 4 mounted outside, and the external hanging device 2 can be connected to the small UAV (such as Figure 5 shown). The core component of the present invention is four bullets 1, which are divided into armor-piercing bullets ( Figure 2 ) and shotgun shells ( Figure 3 ), the bullet 1 is fired by arc ignition, the single-shot bullet 1 is disposable, the two bullets 1 have the same external dimensions, and different bullets 1 can be put into the sleeve of the external device 2 according to actual combat needs, and the wire 9 is connected to the arc generator 4. The crosshair aiming of the camera 3 of the present invention must be calibrated by laser shooting simulation in the gun barrel during production to ensure accuracy. When in use, the small drone uses the camera 3 to cross-aiming. After locking the target, the small drone provides power to the arc generator 4, and then instantly ignites the gunpowder in the bullet 1. The bullet shoots forward to the target, and the gun body detaches from the external device 2 backward and slowly lands with a small parachute 7. The drone will be slightly disturbed and then automatically resets to prepare for the next shot. It should be noted that in the production process, the bullet 1 must be kept lubricated when it is installed on the external device 2, and the tightness must be moderate to ensure that the gun body can smoothly detach from the external device 2. It should be noted that, since the gap between the gun barrel and the bullet of the present invention is 0, the accuracy has reached the critical point. Theoretically, even if the barrel 5 is lengthened to one meter, the accuracy will not be improved. Therefore, the length of the bullet 1 designed by the present invention is 27 cm, which is a suitable length because its accuracy is close to the limit. like Figure 5 As shown, in a specific implementation example, the present invention can cooperate with a small drone to swing up and down, and the small drone itself can swing left and right to achieve all-round shooting, and the small drone can be guided by the camera 1 on the present invention to perform flight control to achieve the purpose of simultaneous maneuvering flight and shooting, rather than just standing and shooting. If the small drone can automatically identify the shooting target, it will further improve the accuracy and avoid delays caused by manual control. The above is a specific embodiment and technical solution of the gun and bullet module provided by the present invention for a small unmanned aerial vehicle.
