Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an artificial rainmaking smoke bar, specifically an artificial rainmaking digital smoke bar. Background Technology

[0002] According to statistics from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), nearly 30 countries worldwide currently conduct artificial rain enhancement and hail suppression operations. The protected area for hail suppression operations is approximately 875,000 km² (including 400,000 km² in China). my country is a country with scarce water resources, and with global warming and rapid economic development, the contradiction of water scarcity is becoming increasingly prominent. Scientifically and rationally carrying out artificial rain enhancement and developing aerial cloud water resources plays an important role in alleviating my country's water shortage problem.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used catalysts for artificial rain enhancement in my country are cold cloud smoke bars (using AgI) and warm cloud smoke bars (using hygroscopic cores). The main operational methods include ground-based smoke generators, rocket or anti-aircraft gun operations, and aircraft operations. Ground-based smoke generators and aircraft operations typically use burning smoke bars to spread the catalyst.

[0004] Current methods for spreading smoke sticks only read the resistance value of the smoke sticks. There are dozens of types of smoke sticks on the market, and ground-based smoke sticks are generally ignited remotely. When multiple types of smoke sticks need to be inserted, their positions and channels must be pre-memorized to allow for separate application of different types. When using aircraft, the smoke sticks are pre-loaded before flight, and the type of smoke stick cannot be accurately seen during flight, making it difficult to distinguish which specific smoke stick should be ignited. Therefore, the inability to identify smoke stick model information presents numerous inconveniences during rain enhancement operations. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a digital smoke bar for artificial rainmaking, so as to solve the problems existing in the background art.

[0006] A digital smoke bar for artificial rainmaking includes an outer tube, a catalyst cartridge, and an ignition device, and also includes a digital chip connected to the ignition device for storing and providing inherent information about the smoke bar.

[0007] Preferably, the digital chip is connected to the ignition device via wires and adhesives and is embedded inside the cigarette pack.

[0008] Preferably, the inherent information stored in the digital chip includes the model, specifications, cold / warm cloud type, and resistance value of the cigarette pack.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a base and a nozzle, the base being threaded to one end of the outer tube, and the nozzle being connected to the other end of the outer tube by an adhesive.

[0010] Preferably, the catalyst column is connected above the igniter through a hole, and the catalyst column and the igniter are inserted into the inner cavity of the outer tube and fixed with adhesive.

[0011] Preferably, the digital chip is in working condition before the cigarette is lit, and is used to interact with the external control system; after the cigarette is lit, the digital chip becomes ineffective as the cigarette burns.

[0012] Beneficial effects: By embedding a digital chip in the tobacco stick, information such as the tobacco stick's model, specifications, and cloud type (warm or cold) can be written into the chip, enabling accurate identification and data management. This information-based improvement enhances the management efficiency of the tobacco sticks. Through the application of the digital chip, key information such as the tobacco stick's model and specifications can be transmitted to a remote operating system, connecting with an intelligent operation platform. The system can automatically match task parameters based on the tobacco stick's model and task requirements, achieving remote, precise delivery and intelligent operation, significantly improving operational efficiency and safety. After the operation, the effect of artificial rain enhancement can be intelligently evaluated based on meteorological observations and ground rainfall monitoring results. This invention, while maintaining the traditional tobacco stick resistance identification function, expands the digital chip's information storage function, achieving dual identification of specifications and resistance information. This design is compatible with traditional operating modes and has the capability to expand towards intelligence, providing technical support for the upgrading and standardization of artificial rain enhancement tobacco sticks.

[0019] In the diagram: 1-base, 2-outer tube, 3-catalyst column, 4-ignition device, 5-digital chip, 6-nozzle. Detailed Implementation

[0020] Please see Figures 1-6 A digital smoke bar for artificial rainmaking includes a base 1, an outer tube 2, a catalyst column 3, an igniter 4, a digital chip 5, and a nozzle 6. Figures 2-6 The circuit connection between the digital chip 5 and the ignition device 4 is shown.

[0021] The base 1 is fixed to one end of the outer tube 2 via a threaded connection. A wire lead-out hole is provided in the center of the base 1 for leading the wires of the igniter 4 and the digital chip 5 to the external control system. A sealing ring or sealant can be applied at the connection between the base 1 and the outer tube 2 to ensure airtightness after assembly and prevent moisture from entering the smoke bar and affecting its performance.

[0022] The nozzle 6 is fixedly connected to the other end of the outer tube 2 by a high-temperature resistant adhesive. The nozzle 6 has a conical or trumpet-shaped structure with a spray hole in the center. The diameter of the spray hole is designed according to the smoke flow rate generated by the combustion of the catalyst column, and is used to directionally and rapidly discharge the catalyst-containing smoke generated by the combustion of the catalyst column 3, so as to facilitate the diffusion of the smoke in the target cloud.

[0023] The catalyst column 3 has a cylindrical structure with a through hole along its center. The material of the catalyst column 3 is selected according to the actual needs of artificial rain enhancement operations: for cold cloud catalysis, silver iodide (AgI) is used as the main agent; for warm cloud catalysis, hygroscopic cores (such as salt, calcium chloride, etc.) are used as the main agent. The length and diameter of the column 3 match the inner cavity size of the outer tube 2, and the amount of catalyst can be adjusted according to the task; for example, the amount of catalyst in a single cigarette stick can range from 50g to 500g.

[0024] The igniter 4 is an electric igniter head, which includes a bridge wire and ignition powder. Two insulated wires are connected to the two ends of the bridge wire. The ignition head of the igniter 4 is inserted into the through hole in the center of the catalyst column 3, so that the igniter 4 and the catalyst column 3 form a hole connection, ensuring that the catalyst column 3 can be quickly and reliably ignited after the igniter 4 is lit.

[0025] The assembled catalyst column 3 and igniter 4 are inserted together into the internal cavity of the outer tube 2. A high-temperature resistant adhesive is then used to fill the gaps between the catalyst column 3, igniter 4, and the inner wall of the outer tube 2, thus securing the catalyst column 3 and igniter 4 within the outer tube 2. While securing them in place, the adhesive also acts as a heat insulator during combustion, slowing heat transfer to the outer tube 2 and protecting it from burn-through in a short time.

[0026] The digital chip 5 contains pre-written information about the cigarette pack, including but not limited to: model, specifications (such as length and amount of powder), type of heat / cooling cloud, resistance value, production batch, and expiration date. The two data / power lines of the digital chip 5 are connected in parallel to the two electrode leads of the igniter 4 via wires, and both are led out from the wire lead-out hole of the base 1. After being encapsulated with epoxy resin or silicone, the digital chip 5 is fixed to the inner wall of the outer tube 2 or in the gap near the igniter 4 using a high-temperature resistant adhesive, ensuring a reliable connection to the wires and preventing vibration.

[0027] The external control system can read the data stored in the digital chip 5 through two wires, and can also apply a sufficiently large ignition current to the igniter 4 when ignition is required. The digital chip 5 has a protective diode inside, which can withstand a certain voltage surge. However, when the ignition current (usually in the ampere range) passes through, the digital chip 5 may be damaged due to overcurrent or fail as the cigarette burns. This does not affect its information reading function before use.

[0028] The working process and working principle of this invention are as follows: After the smoke bar is installed on the combustion rack of the ground smoke generator or the pylon of the aircraft, the smoke bar is connected to the intelligent operation platform (external control system) through two wires leading out from the base 1.

[0029] Before the cigarette stick is ignited, the intelligent operation platform first establishes a 1-Wire protocol communication with the digital chip 5 via two wires, automatically reading the inherent information of the cigarette stick stored in the chip, including model, specifications, cloud type (warm or cold), and resistance value. Based on the information read from the cigarette stick and combined with current weather conditions (including cloud height, temperature, wind speed, and wind direction), the intelligent operation platform automatically matches the optimal operation parameters (such as ignition current, burning time, and spreading height) to generate an optimized operation plan. In remote control operation mode, the information and operation plan in the digital chip 5 are uploaded to the remote control center through the communication system for unified monitoring and management.

[0030] Before the cigarette stick is officially lit, the digital chip 5 is always in working condition, and can provide real-time feedback to the control system on the loading status and connection status of the cigarette stick, ensuring that the operation is prepared correctly.

[0031] When the operating conditions are met, the intelligent operating platform applies a set ignition current to the igniter 4 based on the resistance value of the smoke bar. The current is transmitted to the igniter 4 through the wire, causing the bridge wire of the igniter 4 to heat up and ignite the ignition propellant, which in turn ignites the catalyst column 3. After the catalyst column 3 burns, it releases a high concentration of rain-enhancing catalyst particles (silver iodide particles or hygroscopic nuclei). These particles are sprayed from the nozzle 6 and dispersed into the target cloud layer, causing cloud droplets to rapidly grow into raindrops, which eventually fall to the ground under suitable meteorological conditions, thus achieving artificial rain enhancement.

[0032] After the cigarette stick is lit, as combustion progresses, the embedded digital chip 5 and its connecting wires fail due to the high temperature and combustion. All functions of the digital chip 5 are completed before ignition, and its failure does not affect the normal catalytic operation of the cigarette stick.
