Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of marine electronic equipment integration technology, specifically relating to a centralized control device and system for law enforcement equipment on government vessels. Background Technology

[0002] Law enforcement equipment is an important component of the official vessel law enforcement system.

[0003] Law enforcement equipment, as the only effective means for government vessels to carry out routine rights protection and law enforcement tasks in scenarios where no lethal weapons are used, is mainly used to warn, deter, and drive away targets, achieving non-contact law enforcement. Currently, the control of law enforcement equipment is mostly based on a single-machine, single-control method, meaning each piece of equipment is operated and controlled by a separate control system. With the increasing diversification of law enforcement equipment on board, the traditional "single-machine, single-control" method, lacking centralized control, interoperability, and automated operation capabilities, can no longer meet the demands for integrated and intelligent development, which is mainly reflected in: (1) The control consoles of multiple law enforcement devices are scattered in multiple locations on the port and starboard sides of the ship, occupying a large amount of space on the ship. Moreover, since each control device requires personnel to be on duty, it not only occupies a certain number of staff positions, but also reduces the efficiency of use.

[0004] (2) There is a lack of reliable command and communication network support. The communication of law enforcement equipment mostly relies on the single local area network and internal serial port inside the equipment. The interconnectivity is poor and the reliability is low, which is not conducive to the efficient law enforcement of law enforcement equipment.

[0005] (3) The lack of a unified control module makes it impossible to share the target situation with the whole ship and to provide unified command and control for multiple law enforcement devices in a timely and efficient manner. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a centralized control device and system for law enforcement equipment on government vessels, which is used to integrate control, display and process status information of law enforcement equipment on government vessels.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a centralized control device for law enforcement equipment on official vessels, comprising a control device platform, a display and control host, a network switch, an electrical control unit, and an operation unit; the control device platform is used to fix the control module and the task unit of the law enforcement equipment, and to centrally issue control commands to control the law enforcement equipment; the display and control host is used to integrate and process information and issue control instructions; the network switch connects the display and control host and the task unit of the law enforcement equipment, and is used to forward the centralized control instructions from the display and control host to the task unit, and the law enforcement equipment status information fed back from the task unit to the display and control host; the electrical control unit is used to supply power to the internal parts of the centralized control device for law enforcement equipment; the operation unit is connected to the display and control host and fixed to the outside of the control device platform, and is used to operate the display and control host.

[0008] According to the above plan, the law enforcement equipment includes water cannons, dazzling denial devices, riot launchers, and sonic denial devices; the control modules and mission units of the law enforcement equipment are adjusted in fixed positions on the control device platform according to the user's habits.

[0009] According to the above scheme, the control module is connected to the corresponding task unit via RS485 serial port; the task unit is used to process and calculate control commands and send them to the control module, which then distributes them to the corresponding front-end strike unit to realize local control of law enforcement equipment.

[0010] According to the above scheme, multiple adaptive Ethernet cards configured with the same IP address are configured in the display and control host, so that when one network card fails, the other network card can be used for mutual backup switching.

[0011] According to the above scheme, the display and control host is equipped with multiple network interfaces for accessing external networks, including data interfaces and video interfaces, to receive and centrally display target location information, navigation information, monitoring video information, and law enforcement equipment status information fed back by the task machine.

[0012] According to the above scheme, the display and control host also includes a storage unit for centrally storing video information, including screen recording video from the platform and front-end optoelectronic video.

[0013] According to the above scheme, the display and control host includes multiple embedded control device platforms and displays arranged on the left and right sides, which are used to receive and centrally display various types of information.

[0014] According to the above scheme, the operation unit is the instruction input device of the display and control host, including a keyboard and a trackball.

[0015] According to the above scheme, the electronic control unit is fixed in the control device body and connected to an external marine power supply to output multiple AC and DC power supplies to the control modules of the display and control host, operating unit, network switch and law enforcement equipment.

[0016] A centralized control system for law enforcement equipment on government vessels includes a centralized control device for such equipment.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. The present invention provides a centralized control device and system for law enforcement equipment on government vessels. By integrating a centralized control and display platform for four types of law enforcement equipment, including water cannons, dazzling denial devices, riot control launchers, and acoustic denial devices, the system centrally displays the status information of the law enforcement equipment and processes and distributes control commands to the front-end strike units for law enforcement.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0030] Example 1 See Figure 1 A centralized control device for law enforcement equipment on official vessels includes a control unit platform, a display and control host, a network switch, an electrical control unit, and an operation unit. The control unit platform is used to physically embed control modules and internal equipment for water cannons, dazzling denial devices, riot control launchers, and acoustic denial devices. The display and control host is used to integrate and process information and issue control commands. The network switch is used to forward network traffic data. The electrical control unit is used to supply power to the internal components of the centralized control device for law enforcement equipment. The operation unit is the command input device for the display and control host, connected to the display and control host inside the platform, and is used to operate the display and control host. The operation unit includes a keyboard and a trackball.

[0031] This embodiment achieves the following functions: 1) Centralized control, streamlined combat positions. It can simultaneously mount control modules for water cannons, dazzling denial devices, riot control launchers, and sonic denial devices, and centrally issue control commands for operation. This embodiment rationally plans and allocates the physical installation positions of the control modules for water cannons, dazzling denial devices, riot launchers, and acoustic denial devices on the control device platform. It allows for the selection of suitable locations for each control module based on user habits, providing flexible configuration modes for various law enforcement equipment during missions. The electrical control unit is reinforced and installed within the platform, connected to one AC220V external marine power supply. It can output a total of eight AC220V power supplies and two DC24V power supplies to the display and control host, monitor, keyboard, trackball, network switch, and various control modules of the law enforcement equipment. Each control module is directly connected to the embedded mission units within the platform via an RS485 serial port. After processing and calculating the control commands sent by the control modules, the mission units distribute them to the front-end strike units for local control. Simultaneously, each mission unit and the display and control host are connected to the network switch via a gigabit Ethernet port. Operators issue control commands through the graphical software interface on the display and control host, and the control commands are shared and forwarded on the switch, achieving centralized control and effectively streamlining the positions of law enforcement personnel.

[0032] 2) Information access and system integration. This embodiment can be adapted to access the original ship's law enforcement equipment status information, navigation radar target location information, motion, attitude, and weather information sent by navigation equipment, video information from surveillance cameras, and other interfaces, fully integrating into the original ship's existing information system.

[0033] This embodiment features two 1G adaptive Ethernet cards within the display and control host. The network interfaces utilize YMT series connectors, supporting a maximum transmission speed of 1G. The plug model is YMT16T12K1D12, and the socket model is YMT16F12Z1E12. Both network cards are configured with the same IP address, allowing for backup switching when one network card fails. The display and control host provides four network interfaces: two data interfaces and two video interfaces. These interfaces allow access to external networks for receiving radar, navigation, and surveillance video information. Each task unit also feeds back the law enforcement equipment status information to the display and control host via a switch, enabling comprehensive information acquisition. Information transmission uses the UDP protocol, adhering to RFC768 and RFC793 standards.

[0034] 3) Visual display and convenient operation. This embodiment features a graphical human-machine interface that centrally displays device status information, target location information, navigation information, and surveillance video information, supporting law enforcement personnel in intuitive and convenient operation.

[0035] In this embodiment, two 24-inch full HD displays are embedded in the control console and installed in a left-right layout. Various information from the display and control host is output to the displays via HDMI signals for centralized display. The display ratio is 16:9 widescreen, and the screen resolution is 1920*1080.

[0036] 4) Evidence recording and retrospective review. Considering the characteristics of law enforcement operations by government vessels, this embodiment can centrally store all video information generated during the process, including screen recordings from the platform and front-end optical / electrical video. When there is a need for verification, this information can be immediately retrieved and reviewed.

[0037] This embodiment uses an InnoDisk 2TB solid-state drive as the storage unit, which is fixedly installed in the display and control host via a SATAⅢ 6.0Gb / s interface. It can centrally store the screen recording video and front-end photoelectric video generated during use.

[0038] This embodiment addresses the problems of dispersed control and display of law enforcement equipment on official vessels, poor safety performance when used outside the vessel, excessive personnel requirements, low efficiency, and low level of informatization. By integrating a centralized control and display platform for four types of law enforcement equipment, including water cannons, dazzling denial devices, riot control launchers, and sonic denial devices, the system centrally displays the status information of the law enforcement equipment and processes and distributes control commands to the front-end strike units for law enforcement. At the same time, it retains both local and centralized control methods, improving the system integration and automation level, and realizing the functions of integrated control, display, and processing of the status information of law enforcement equipment on official vessels.

[0039] Example 2 The principle of this embodiment is the same as that of embodiment 1, the difference being that each module is applied to a specific instance.

[0040] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a block diagram of a centralized control device for law enforcement equipment. This device consists of a display and control host, a network switch, an electrical control unit, an operating unit (including a keyboard and trackball), and a monitor. Figure 2 The external interface block diagram of the centralized control device for law enforcement equipment shown reveals that the electronic control unit is ruggedized and installed within the platform. It is connected to one AC220V external marine power supply and can output a total of eight AC220V power supplies to the display and control host, monitor, network switch, and various control modules of the law enforcement equipment. It can also output two DC24V power supplies to the keyboard and trackball. External network information mainly includes target location and distance information from the radar, ship motion, attitude, and weather information from the navigation equipment, and video information from the monitoring system. This external information is aggregated and processed by the display and control host in the form of network packets via a gigabit network port, and then sent to the built-in storage unit for real-time storage via a SATA interface. Control commands generated by the display and control host are further distributed to the task units of each law enforcement device via the network switch through a gigabit network port. The control modules of each law enforcement device embedded in the platform are directly connected to the task units embedded in the platform via RS485 serial ports, using a combination of automatic and manual control to manage the front-end strike units. After responding to control commands, the front-end strike unit feeds back the strike results to the mission control unit in real time in the form of data and video. The mission control unit filters out the key and valid information and then reports it back to the display and control host via a network switch. The display and control host performs a comprehensive evaluation of the strike effectiveness, generates a mission report, and stores it to support later review and data retrieval.

[0041] like Figure 3 The diagram shows the layout of the centralized control unit for law enforcement equipment. Based on user needs and mission operation procedures, the layout is divided into five operating areas: a water cannon control module, a riot launcher control module, a glare / denial device control module, a sonic denial device control module, and an operating unit (including a keyboard and trackball). The water cannon, riot launcher, glare / denial device, and sonic denial device control modules send control commands to each mission unit via RS485 serial port for processing. To accommodate user habits, each module has knobs and buttons on the left and a joystick on the right. The keyboard and trackball connect to the display and control host via USB, enabling control of the interface on the screen. Three blank areas are reserved around the water cannon and glare / denial device control modules for future expansion and upgrades of other functional modules. Due to the dual-screen design, under full load, the centralized control unit allows two operators to simultaneously control the water cannon, riot launcher, glare / denial device, and sonic denial device.

[0042] like Figure 4The diagram shows the external structure of the centralized control device for law enforcement equipment. This embodiment features a horizontal dual-screen design. The upper part is the display and control section, consisting of two touchscreen displays and an embedded control module. Two cooling fans are located on the back of the displays, as shown in the diagram. Figure 5 As shown. The lower part is the computing and storage section. The left side is used to house the display and control host, storage units, and task units of various law enforcement equipment, while the right side is used to house the network switch for a unified network port and serial port design. Figure 6 This is a diagram of the bottom bolt installation.

[0043] This embodiment provides a centralized control device for law enforcement equipment on government vessels, which can centrally display the status information of law enforcement equipment, integrate control modules, and process and distribute control commands. It is of great significance for the scientific, efficient and compatible use of law enforcement equipment installed on government vessels.

[0044] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the design concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made based on the principles and design ideas disclosed in the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
