Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of firefighting drone technology, specifically a firefighting reconnaissance drone with a heat shield. Background Technology
[0002] Fire reconnaissance drones equipped with thermal shields are special drones designed specifically for reconnaissance missions deep into the high-temperature core areas of fire scenes. Through a dedicated thermal protection system, they protect their electronic equipment and sensors, enabling them to replace firefighters in entering the most dangerous areas and obtaining critical information.
[0003] In the field of traditional firefighting drones, the thermal shield and the fuselage are mostly rigidly connected. During high-speed flight, the stress is transmitted due to wind resistance. During impact, the impact is easily transmitted directly to the precision body. It is difficult to combine the dual functions of "adaptive clamp" and "intelligent buffer": low-pressure contact to reduce drag during flight, high-pressure clamping to enhance heat insulation when hovering, and energy absorption buffer when encountering danger. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve the leap from static protection to dynamic intelligent adaptation, which reduces the mission flexibility and survivability in extreme fire environment.
[0004] Furthermore, existing technologies, during use, struggle to quickly pinpoint suspected damage points by analyzing the overall structural vibration modes, and to conduct close-range contact with these points to obtain the precise depth and extent of internal defects. This makes it difficult to overcome the limitations of traditional drones, which only perform external observations or single-item inspections. Consequently, it is difficult to achieve aerial, in-situ, and quantitative diagnosis of the internal health status of building structures in extreme fire environments, and to form a complete "discovery-locking-diagnosis" intelligent assessment closed loop. In use, existing technologies rely on rigid impact techniques, which can easily cause secondary damage to damaged walls. Moreover, it is difficult to accurately invert the opening, expansion trend, and bonding strength between the surface and the substrate of wall cracks. This makes it difficult to achieve a breakthrough in the multi-dimensional quantitative assessment of wall damage from "qualitative identification" to "crack-strength," reducing the accuracy and reliability of fire-related structural risk assessments.
[0005] Finally, when drones are close to walls for precision measurements, existing technologies have difficulty converting some of the rotor's kinetic energy into controllable frictional resistance and elastic potential energy. This makes it difficult to achieve a stable and safe transition of the drone from aerial flight mode to a "quasi-static" wall operation mode, and further makes it difficult to avoid interference with the detection accuracy and the drone's own attitude caused by high-speed airflow impact from the rotor or fuselage vibration.

Detailed Implementation
[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-7 The principles and features of the present invention are described below. The examples given are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0030] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances. The embodiments of this invention will now be described according to its overall structure.
[0031] Example 1:
[0032] Please see Figures 1-2 The present invention discloses a fire reconnaissance drone with a heat shield, comprising a support 1, a heat protection mechanism 2 fixedly connected to the top of the support 1, six sets of connecting rods 3 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the heat protection mechanism 2, a detection mechanism 4 fixedly connected to the outer side of the two sets of connecting rods 3 on the back of the heat protection mechanism 2, a static mechanism 5 fixedly connected to the bottom of the detection mechanism 4, a second motor housing 6 fixedly connected to the top of the detection mechanism 4, and a motor fixedly connected inside the second motor housing 6, and a rotor 7 fixedly connected to the top output shaft of the motor inside the second motor housing 6.
[0033] The thermal protection mechanism 2 includes a thermal protection cover 21. The thermal protection cover 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 1, and the drone fuselage is located at the center of the thermal protection cover 21. The mounting frame 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the thermal protection cover 21. Eight sets of high-temperature resistant flexible limiting straps 23 are equidistantly arranged on the outer wall of the mounting frame 22. The mounting frame 22 contains a first airbag 24. The high-temperature resistant flexible limiting straps 23 are convenient to prevent the first airbag 24 from completely separating from the thermal protection cover 21 or swinging randomly when the first airbag 24 is under low pressure or depressurized. When the first airbag 24 is impacted, the deformation range of the first airbag 24 is constrained to prevent excessive displacement.
[0034] A composite layer 25 is adhesively connected to the outside of the first airbag 24, and a connecting tube 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first airbag 24. The connecting tube 26 is T-shaped and has an air inlet and an air outlet.
[0035] A reversing valve 27 is fixedly connected to the delivery port of the connecting pipe 26, and the reversing valve 27 is electrically connected to an external control terminal.
[0036] The top of the mounting bracket 22 is fixedly connected to a first miniature pressure sensor 28, and the bottom sensor head of the first miniature pressure sensor 28 is connected to the first airbag 24. The first miniature pressure sensor 28 can detect the pressure inside the first airbag 24 and transmit it to an external display screen to realize real-time feedback of the pressure inside the first airbag 24.
[0037] The composite layer 25 is composed of a flexible nano-aerogel felt and a silicone pad with a raised dot array. A composite aramid fiber mesh is adhered to the inside of the first airbag 24. The first micro pressure sensor 28 is electrically connected to the external display screen. The connecting tube 26 is connected to the external air pump.
[0038] The working principle of a fire reconnaissance drone with a heat shield based on Embodiment 1 is as follows:
[0039] First, when using this device, place it in the work area, and then connect it to an external power source to provide the power required for its operation.
[0040] Secondly, when hovering and heat insulation are required, the external air pump is started and the reversing valve 27 is opened. Gas enters the first airbag 24 through the air inlet of the connecting pipe 26, and the pressure inside the first airbag 24 is detected by the first micro pressure sensor 28. The detection data is transmitted to the external display screen for real-time feedback on the pressure inside the first airbag 24 until the set high pressure is reached. At this time, the first airbag 24 presses tightly against the drone body, and the high-temperature resistant flexible limiting strap 23 is in a taut state. When high-speed drag reduction is required, the reversing valve 27 is reversed through the external control terminal, so that the gas inside the first airbag 24 is discharged through the air outlet of the connecting pipe 26, and the pressure is reduced. At this time, through The high-temperature resistant flexible limiting strap 23 prevents the first airbag 24 from detaching from or swinging randomly from the thermal shield 21, allowing the thermal shield 2 to have slight displacement relative to the UAV body to dissipate aerodynamic loads. During use, the first airbag 24 ensures uniform pressure transmission and increases friction under high pressure through the silicone pad with a raised array on the composite layer 25, preventing relative slippage. Under low pressure, the gaps between the raised points allow a small amount of airflow to assist in heat dissipation. By inflating and deflating the first airbag 24, it has the dual functions of "adaptive clamp" and "intelligent buffer", realizing the leap from static protection to dynamic intelligent adaptation, and improving mission flexibility and survivability in extreme fire environments.
[0041] Example 2:
[0042] Please see Figures 3-4 The present invention provides a fire reconnaissance drone with a heat shield. Compared with the first embodiment, this embodiment further includes a detection mechanism 4. The detection mechanism 4 includes a first mounting shell 41. The outer sides of the two sets of connecting rods 3 on the back of the heat shield 21 are fixedly connected to the first mounting shell 41. A micro motor 42 is fixedly connected to the left end of the first mounting shell 41. The micro motor 42 facilitates the rotation of the turntable 43.
[0043] The output shaft of the micro motor 42 is fixedly connected to a turntable 43. The right end of the turntable 43 is eccentrically provided with a first protruding rod 44. The outer wall of the first protruding rod 44 is intermittently engaged with the grooved wheel 45. The right end of the grooved wheel 45 is fixedly connected to a fixing rod 46. The right end of the fixing rod 46 is fixedly connected to a mounting block 47. The fixing rod 46 facilitates the adjustment of the tilt angle of the mounting block 47.
[0044] A miniature ultrasonic probe 48 is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting block 47, and a mating mechanism 49 is fixedly connected to the other end of the mounting block 47. The outer wall of the mounting block 47 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 410. A first motor housing 411 is provided at the bottom of the connecting seat 410. A laser vibrometer 412 is fixedly connected to the lower back of the first motor housing 411. The laser vibrometer 412 facilitates rapid scanning of an area and plotting a vibration frequency / amplitude distribution map.
[0045] A motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first motor housing 411, and a connecting seat 410 is fixedly connected to the top output shaft of the motor. The miniature ultrasonic probe 48 and the laser vibrometer 412 are both electrically connected to the external display screen. The right end of the grooved wheel 45 is rotatably connected to the left end of the connecting seat 410. A slot is provided on the back of the first mounting housing 41.
[0046] In this embodiment:
[0047] When the drone hovers, a laser vibrometer 412 is first used to quickly scan an area, drawing a vibration frequency / amplitude distribution map, which is then transmitted to an external display screen. The operator quickly locates the area suspected of being severely damaged on the external display screen. Then, the motor inside the first motor housing 411 is activated. This motor drives the connecting seat 410 to rotate, which in turn drives the miniature ultrasonic probe 48 to rotate via the mounting block 47, positioning the probe towards the suspected severely damaged area. Next, the miniature motor 42 is activated, driving the turntable 43 to rotate. The turntable 43 then drives the first protruding rod 44 in a circular motion. The first protruding rod 44, through intermittent engagement with the grooved wheel 45, drives the grooved wheel 45 to rotate, which in turn drives the fixed... The rod 46 rotates, which in turn drives the mounting block 47 to rotate. The mounting block 47 then adjusts the tilt angle of the miniature ultrasonic probe 48, allowing the probe to be precisely pressed against the suspected severely damaged area for ultrasonic testing. This confirms the depth and extent of internal cavities or peeling, and the data is transmitted to an external display screen. Staff can then read the precise surface temperature on the external display screen and perform a micro-pressure test using the cooperating mechanism 49 to determine the surface strength. By integrating multi-sensor data through an external cloud algorithm, a risk assessment is generated. This overcomes the limitations of traditional drones that only perform external observation or single detection, enabling the diagnosis of the internal health status of building structures in extreme fire environments. This forms a complete "discovery-lock-confirmation" intelligent assessment closed loop.
[0048] Example 3:
[0049] Please see Figure 3 and Figures 5-6 The present invention provides a fire reconnaissance drone with a heat shield. Compared with embodiment one, this embodiment further includes a cooperating mechanism 49. The cooperating mechanism 49 includes a mounting rod 491. The other end of the mounting block 47 and the upper back of the first motor housing 411 are fixedly connected to one end of the mounting rod 491. The other end of the mounting rod 491 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod 492. The mounting rod 491 facilitates the limiting movement of the sliding rod 492.
[0050] The back of the sliding rod 492 on the upper back of the first motor housing 411 is fixedly connected to the back of the second airbag 493. The left end of the sliding rod 492 on the upper back of the first motor housing 411 is fixedly connected to the second pressure sensor 494. The other end of the sliding rod 492 of the mounting block 47 is fixedly connected to the elastic V-shaped rod 495. The second pressure sensor 494 facilitates the detection of the internal pressure of the second airbag 493 when a micro-pressure is applied.
[0051] The elastic V-shaped rod 495 is fixedly connected to both ends of the electric spring 496, and the electric spring 496 is electrically connected to an external power supply device. Resistance strain gauges 497 are attached to each of the spring wire axes of the electric spring 496 in the ±45° direction. Six sets of electromagnetic blocks 498 are equidistantly arranged inside the mounting rod 491, and the electromagnetic blocks 498 are magnetically attracted to the sliding rod 492. The back sensor of the second pressure sensor 494 is connected to the second airbag 493. The second pressure sensor 494 is electrically connected to an external display screen, and the electromagnetic blocks 498 are electrically connected to an external current output device.
[0052] In this embodiment:
[0053] When a micro-pressure test is required on a suspected severely damaged area, an external current output device drives the six sets of electromagnetic blocks 498 inside the mounting rod 491 on the upper back of the first motor housing 411 to work in stages. This causes the sliding rod 492 inside the mounting rod 491 to move backward step by step due to the magnetic attraction of the six sets of electromagnetic blocks 498, thereby driving the second airbag 493 to move backward step by step. This applies a gradual, flexible micro-pressure to the suspected severely damaged area, preventing secondary damage to the damaged surface. Then, the external current output device drives the six sets of electromagnetic blocks 498 inside the mounting rod 491 at the other end of the mounting block 47 to work in stages. This causes the sliding rod 492 inside the mounting rod 491 at the other end of the mounting block 47 to move outward step by step due to the magnetic attraction of the six sets of electromagnetic blocks 498, thereby driving the elastic V-shaped rod 495 to insert into the suspected severely damaged area. Within the gaps in the area, when the second airbag 493 applies micro-pressure to the suspected severely damaged area, the electric spring 496 is activated by an external power source. The elastic V-shaped rod 495, affected by the micro-pressure, causes the electric spring 496 to extend or contract, generating a stress field around the electric spring 496. This stress field affects the resistance value of the strain gauge 497, causing the strain element inside the strain gauge 497 to deform under stress. This allows the operator to calculate the length change of the electric spring 496 based on the resistance value of the strain gauge 497, thereby indirectly determining the actual deformation of the surface of the measured area. This enables more accurate detection of the damaged surface, achieving a breakthrough from "qualitative identification" to multi-dimensional quantitative assessment of "crack-strength," and improving the accuracy and reliability of fire scene structural risk assessment.
[0054] Example 4:
[0055] Please see Figure 7 The present invention provides a fire reconnaissance drone with a heat shield. Compared with embodiment one, this embodiment further includes a static mechanism 5. The static mechanism 5 includes a second mounting shell 51. The bottom of the first mounting shell 41 is fixedly connected to the second mounting shell 51, and the back of the second mounting shell 51 is provided with a hollow groove. The bottom left end of the second mounting shell 51 is fixedly connected to a first fixing block 52, and the upper right end of the first fixing block 52 is fixedly connected to a first torsion spring 53. The second mounting shell 51 facilitates the installation and fixing of the first fixing block 52.
[0056] The right end of the first torsion spring 53 is fixedly connected to the left edge of the rotating block 54. The right edge of the rotating block 54 is fixedly connected to the second protruding rod 55. The outer wall of the second protruding rod 55 is slidably connected to the slide plate 56. The back of the slide plate 56 is fixedly connected to the inner tooth plate of the gear tooth plate 57. The inner tooth plate of the gear tooth plate 57 facilitates the movement of the slide plate 56.
[0057] A second torsion spring 58 is fixedly connected to the right end of the inner gear of the gear plate component 57, and a second fixing block 59 is fixedly connected to the right end of the second torsion spring 58. The outer wall of the inner gear plate of the gear plate component 57 is slidably connected to the limiting plate 510. A connecting frame 511 is fixedly connected to the back of the inner gear plate of the gear plate component 57. The connecting frame 511 facilitates the installation of the friction block 512.
[0058] Friction block 512 is glued to the back of connecting bracket 511. The bottom of second fixing block 59 is fixedly connected to the bottom right end of the second mounting shell 51. The bottom of limiting plate 510 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the second mounting shell 51. The left end of the gear in gear tooth plate 57 is rotatably connected to the left end of the second mounting shell 51 through gear rod.
[0059] In this embodiment:
[0060] When the drone approaches the surface to be inspected, it contacts the surface via friction block 512. Then, the motor inside the second motor housing 6 drives the rotor 7 to slow down, converting the kinetic energy of the rotor 7 into controllable frictional resistance. This achieves a stable and safe transition of the drone from aerial flight mode to a "quasi-static" damaged surface operation mode. During use, due to the impact of airflow from the rotor 7 or the vibration of the fuselage, friction block 512 synchronously drives the inner gear plate of gear tooth plate component 57 to move backward. The inner gear plate of gear tooth plate component 57 drives the gear teeth to move backward. The internal gear of the gear plate 57 rotates, which drives the second torsion spring 58 to rotate. The second torsion spring 58 provides initial shock absorption for the friction block 512. As the internal gear plate of the gear plate 57 moves backward, it simultaneously drives the slide plate 56 to move backward. The slide plate 56 drives the rotating block 54 to rotate via the second protrusion 55. The rotating block 54 drives the first torsion spring 53 to rotate. The first torsion spring 53 provides secondary shock absorption for the friction block 512, preventing interference with the detection accuracy and its own attitude caused by the airflow impact of the rotor 7 or the vibration of the fuselage.
[0061] This invention provides an improved fire reconnaissance drone with a thermal protection shield. It features a thermal protection mechanism 2 that, through the inflation and deflation of a first airbag 24, functions as both an "adaptive clamp" and an "intelligent buffer," achieving a leap from static protection to dynamic intelligent adaptation. This enhances mission resilience and survivability in extreme fire environments. A detection mechanism 4, through the cooperation of a miniature ultrasonic probe 48 and a laser vibrometer 412, overcomes the limitations of traditional drones that only perform external observation or single-function detection, enabling the diagnosis of the internal health status of building structures in extreme fire environments, forming a complete "discovery-lock-confirmation" intelligent assessment closed loop. A cooperating mechanism 49, through a second airbag 4... 93. Flexible micro-pressure is applied to suspected severely damaged areas in stages to prevent secondary damage to the damaged surface. Then, through the cooperation of resistance strain gauge 497 and electric spring 496, the damaged surface is detected more accurately, realizing a breakthrough from "qualitative identification" to multi-dimensional quantitative assessment of "crack-strength" damage, improving the accuracy and reliability of fire site structural risk assessment. A static mechanism 5 is set up, which contacts the surface to be tested through friction block 512, realizing a stable and safe transition of the UAV from aerial flight mode to "quasi-static" damaged surface operation mode. Then, through the cooperation of second torsion spring 58 and first torsion spring 53, the impact of airflow from rotor 7 or fuselage vibration on detection accuracy and its own attitude is avoided.
