Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of communication vehicle technology, and more particularly to a mobile communication vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Mobile communication vehicles are widely used in emergency rescue and disaster relief. Existing mobile communication vehicles often have signal towers built on the side of the vehicle to transmit signals. However, signal towers are often limited in height, and signals are easily blocked by surrounding trees, buildings, etc., affecting the signal coverage. Therefore, some communication vehicles use tethered drones to transmit signals, such as the patent application number CN201922110209.4. The ground communication vehicle provides power to the drone, which performs the function of a traditional signal tower. Because drones are much taller than traditional signal towers, their signal transmission is less likely to be blocked by surrounding objects. However, during the operation of such communication vehicles, the drones need to stay in the air for a long time. On the one hand, this consumes a lot of power, and on the other hand, the drones themselves generate a lot of heat, making them unsuitable for long-term operation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing UAV mobile communication vehicles, which consume a lot of power and are not suitable for long-term communication operations, this invention proposes a mobile communication vehicle that reduces power consumption and facilitates long-term communication operations.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A mobile communication vehicle includes a vehicle, a communication main control device, a battery, a cable reel, an optoelectronic composite cable, and a drone. The communication main control device, the cable reel, and the battery are installed on the vehicle. The optoelectronic composite cable has the function of transmitting signals and current. One end of the optoelectronic composite cable is wound around the cable reel and connected to the communication main control device and the battery. The other end of the optoelectronic composite cable is connected to the drone. The drone includes a drone body and a base station installed on the underside of the drone body. The communication vehicle also includes a helium balloon, which consists of a sliding sleeve, an air bladder, and a control valve. The sliding sleeve is fitted onto the optoelectronic composite cable, the air bladder is installed on the outer periphery of the sliding sleeve, and the control valve is connected to the air bladder to facilitate the inflation and deflation of helium.

[0005] Furthermore, the communication vehicle also includes a bracket, which includes a support plate and support feet. The lower side of the support plate is fixed to the vehicle by the support feet. The support plate supports the lower end of the sliding sleeve. The cable reel is set on the lower side of the support plate. The support plate is provided with a cable hole for the optoelectronic composite cable to pass through.

[0006] Furthermore, the upper and lower ends of the thread hole are provided with a first chamfer.

[0007] Furthermore, a base plate is fixedly connected to the lower outer periphery of the sliding sleeve, the base plate is attached to the support plate, and is locked by an elbow clamp.

[0008] Furthermore, a top plate is fixedly connected to the upper outer periphery of the sliding sleeve, the drone rests on the upper side of the top plate, and an upwardly extending flange is provided along the edge of the top plate.

[0009] Furthermore, an annular plate is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the sliding sleeve. The annular plate is located between the top plate and the bottom plate. The airbag is installed between the top plate and the annular plate, and the control valve is installed on the annular plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a second chamfer is provided on both the upper and lower inner circumferences of the sliding sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer side of the optoelectronic composite cable is wrapped with a nylon layer, and a connecting sleeve is locked at the upper end of the optoelectronic composite cable. A buffer spring is installed between the connecting sleeve and the drone.

[0012] Through the above improvements, the communication vehicle of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this invention, the helium balloon can support the drone after takeoff, so the drone does not need to maintain flight for a long time, saving energy, increasing endurance, preventing overheating, and improving communication time; 2. In this invention, the drone can quickly enter the communication working state after takeoff, thus buying time for emergency rescue; 3. In this invention, when the communication vehicle needs to be moved later, the drone can move the helium balloon horizontally so that the helium balloon can follow the movement of the communication vehicle, making it convenient for the communication vehicle to change its communication position. 4. In this invention, when the communication vehicle is not in communication operation, the helium balloon can be stably mounted on the support, which facilitates the transportation of the helium balloon and the drone by the communication vehicle.

[0018] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this invention proposes a mobile communication vehicle that combines signal coverage and working endurance. Specifically, the communication vehicle includes a vehicle 3, a communication main control device 4, a battery 5, a cable reel 6, an optoelectronic composite cable 7, and a drone 8. The communication main control device 4, the cable reel 6, and the battery 5 are mounted on the vehicle 3. The optoelectronic composite cable 7 uses existing cables for tethered drones, containing both optical fiber and electrical cable, and has the function of transmitting both optical signals and current. One end of the optoelectronic composite cable 7 is wound around the cable reel 6. The optical fiber portion of the optoelectronic composite cable 7 is connected to the communication main control device 4 for transmitting optical signals, and the electrical cable portion of the optoelectronic composite cable 7 is connected to the battery 5. The optical fiber composite cable 7 is used to transmit current. A slip ring device is set on one side of the cable reel 6. The optical fiber composite cable 7 is connected to the communication main control device 4 and the battery 5 through the slip ring device. When the cable reel 6 rotates, it ensures that the transmission function of the optical fiber composite cable 7 is not interrupted. The other end of the optical fiber composite cable 7 is connected to the drone 8. The drone 8 includes the drone body 81 and the base station 82 installed on the lower side of the drone body 81. The drone body 81 is responsible for flight, and the base station 82 is responsible for communication. The communication main control device 4 and the drone 8 exchange data through the optical fiber part of the optical fiber composite cable 7. The battery 5 supplies power to the drone 8 through the cable part of the optical fiber composite cable 7.

[0020] The communication vehicle also includes a helium balloon 9, which comprises a sliding sleeve 91, an airbag 92, and a control valve 93. The sliding sleeve 91 is fitted onto the optoelectronic composite cable 7. The airbag 92 is made of rubber and has good elastic expansion and contraction performance. The airbag 92 is installed on the outer periphery of the sliding sleeve 91. The control valve 93 is connected to the airbag 92 for easy inflation and deflation of helium. The control valve 93 includes a power supply, a controller, and a solenoid valve. The power supply provides power to the controller and the solenoid valve. The controller is used to control the solenoid valve and has wireless functionality, allowing the solenoid valve to be switched on and off via a remote control.

[0021] In this embodiment, the communication vehicle initially, such as Figure 1 The airbag 92 contracts, the sliding sleeve 91 is vertically positioned, and the drone 8 rests on the upper part of the sliding sleeve 91, facilitating the movement of the communication vehicle; when the communication vehicle is working, such as Figure 4 The reel 6 rotates to release the photoelectric composite cable 7, and the drone 8 takes off. After the drone 8 flies to the designated altitude, the reel 6 stops releasing the photoelectric composite cable 7. At this time, the drone 8 can transmit signals through the base station 82, enabling the communication vehicle to quickly enter the communication working state and buy valuable time for disaster relief. The communication master control device 4 on vehicle 3 is responsible for communication data processing, which is not the focus of this application and will not be described in detail. During communication, the communication master control device 4 on vehicle 3 converts the communication data into optical signals and transmits them to the base station 82 through the optoelectronic composite cable 7. The base station 82 converts the optical signals into communication data and then transmits the signals to the surrounding area. In addition, the signals transmitted by the surrounding terminals are transmitted back to the communication master control device 4 through the base station 82 and the optoelectronic composite cable 7 to achieve signal transmission. like Figure 5 Staff members fill the airbag 92 with helium through the control valve 93. After the airbag 92 expands, it floats upward. The sliding sleeve 91 of the airbag 92 slides upward along the photoelectric composite cable 7 to the underside of the drone 8 to support the drone 8. At this time, the main body 81 of the drone 8 can stop working and maintain its altitude by using the buoyancy of the helium balloon 9. The drone 8 only needs to maintain the operation of the base station 82 to save power and improve the battery 5's battery life. At the same time, since the main body 81 of the drone 8 does not need to work for a long time, it prevents the drone 8 from overheating and facilitates long-term communication. When the communication vehicle needs to move to a new location, it is not necessary to lower the drone 8 and the helium balloon 9. The helium balloon 9 remains in the air to ensure uninterrupted communication. The main body 81 of the drone 8 restarts its work to help the helium balloon 9 move horizontally, so that the helium balloon 9 can follow the communication vehicle. During the movement of the communication vehicle, the photoelectric composite cable 7 remains basically vertical, which can prevent the photoelectric composite cable 7 from getting caught on nearby objects. After the communication vehicle completes its communication operation, the main body 81 of the drone 8 starts working, maintaining the altitude of the drone 8. The remote control valve 93 opens, and the helium gas in the helium balloon 9 is discharged through the control valve 93. After the helium balloon 9 contracts, it moves downward along the optoelectronic composite cable 7 under the action of gravity and returns to the vehicle 3. The cable reel 6 collects the optoelectronic composite cable 7, and the drone 8 descends to the upper end of the sliding sleeve 91.

[0022] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 The communication vehicle also includes a bracket 10, which includes a support plate 101 and support feet 102. The lower side of the support plate 101 is fixed to the vehicle 3 via the support feet 102. The support plate 101 supports the lower end of the sliding sleeve 91. A cable reel 6 is located on the lower side of the support plate 101. The support plate 101 has a threading hole 103 for the optoelectronic composite cable 7 to pass through. The optoelectronic composite cable 7 passes through the threading hole 103, such as... Figure 1 When the communication vehicle is not communicating, the support plate 101 of the bracket 10 supports the sliding sleeve 91, the helium balloon 9 is in a retracted state and rests on the support plate 101 of the bracket 10, and the drone 8 is parked on the upper end of the sliding sleeve 91, facilitating the communication vehicle to transport the helium balloon 9 and the drone 8; after the drone 8 takes off, as... Figure 4 The photoelectric composite cable 7 is pulled upwards, and the cable reel 6 releases the photoelectric composite cable 7. After the drone 8 flies to the required altitude, it can communicate through the base station 82 to achieve the purpose of rapid communication operations and buy time for disaster relief operations.

[0023] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 The wire hole 103 has a first chamfer 104 at both the top and bottom ends. This design prevents the wire hole 103 from scratching the optoelectronic composite cable 7.

[0024] In one embodiment, a base plate 94 is fixedly connected to the lower outer periphery of the sliding sleeve 91. The base plate 94 is attached to the support plate 101 and locked by an elbow clamp (not shown in the figure). With the above setting, when the communication vehicle is in motion, the helium balloon 9 can be stably placed on the bracket 10 to prevent the helium balloon 9 from falling. The elbow clamp is purchased from the market and will not be described in detail here. It is convenient to manually lock and unlock. After the elbow clamp releases the base plate 94, the helium balloon 9 is filled with helium and can float upward away from the bracket 10 to support the drone 8 in the air.

[0025] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 A top plate 95 is fixedly connected to the upper outer periphery of the sliding sleeve 91. The drone 8 is parked on the top plate 95. An upwardly extending flange 96 is provided along the edge of the top plate 95 to prevent the drone 8 from slipping off the edge of the top plate 95.

[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 A ring plate 97 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the sliding sleeve 91. The ring plate 97 is located between the top plate 95 and the bottom plate 94. The airbag 92 is installed between the top plate 95 and the ring plate 97. A space is formed between the ring plate 97 and the bottom plate 94, which facilitates the installation of the control valve 93 on the lower side of the ring plate 97, so that helium can be pumped into the airbag 92 through the control valve 93.

[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 The upper and lower inner circumferences of the sliding sleeve 91 are both provided with a second chamfer 98. This is to prevent the sliding sleeve 91 from scratching the optoelectronic composite cable 7 when it slides on the cable.

[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 The outer side of the optoelectronic composite cable 7 is wrapped with a nylon layer to improve the wear resistance and tensile strength of the optoelectronic composite cable 7. The upper end of the optoelectronic composite cable 7 is locked with a connecting sleeve 11. A buffer spring 12 is installed between the connecting sleeve 11 and the drone 8. The upper end of the buffer spring 12 is connected to the drone 8, and the lower end of the buffer spring 12 is connected to the connecting sleeve 11. The part of the optoelectronic composite cable 7 between the upper and lower ends of the buffer spring 12 is in a relaxed state to prevent the upper end of the optoelectronic composite cable 7 from being stretched too much and breaking off from the drone 8.
