Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of emergency rescue equipment and field catapult launch equipment, specifically relating to an energy storage linear motor electromagnetic catapult rescue launch system. Background Technology
[0002] In modern emergency rescue operations, scenarios such as being out of contact in mountainous areas, trapped by floods, isolated islands with blocked roads, and wilderness disasters often present problems such as no runway, no power supply, and vehicles being unable to get close. Conventional drone takeoff and landing, manual material dropping, and ordinary electric catapult equipment cannot meet the rescue needs.
[0003] Existing similar catapult equipment mostly adopts the instantaneous power-on drive mode. The instantaneous current load of catapult is extremely large. In the field without power grid environment, the generator is very easy to overload, trip, overheat and shut down, making it impossible to carry out continuous rescue operations. At the same time, there is no pre-storage linear motor catapult equipment on the market for rescue scenarios. Traditional equipment has no energy storage structure and relies entirely on instantaneous power supply, which has poor stability, high failure rate and is not suitable for harsh rescue environments.
[0004] Meanwhile, traditional integrated catapult vehicles suffer from concentrated loads and poor mobility, and are rendered completely inoperable in the event of equipment failure at the rescue site, severely impacting the timeliness of disaster relief. Therefore, developing a pre-charged, low-impact, continuously operable, modular, linear motor electromagnetic catapult rescue and deployment system is an urgent need in the current emergency rescue field. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an energy storage linear motor electromagnetic catapult rescue deployment system, which solves the defects of existing rescue catapult equipment such as high instantaneous power consumption, no energy storage capacity, poor adaptability to the field, and inability to deploy continuously.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] This system includes two independent vehicle-mounted platforms: an ejection operation vehicle and a rescue and storage container vehicle. The overall system adopts a split modular design, which is specifically adapted to mobile deployment for emergency rescue in the field.
[0008] The catapult launch vehicle is the core operating unit. The chassis is fitted with a fully rotatable base, which is hinged to a long-stroke catapult frame. The frame integrates a linear motor and electromagnetic energy storage catapult assembly. This equipment differs from ordinary catapult systems in that it does not rely on battery energy storage or instantaneous power supply. Instead, it employs a working mode of pre-charged magnetic energy storage using a linear motor, mechanical locking for energy storage, and instantaneous concentrated release. This principle is the same as that used in military linear catapults and is compatible with civilian rescue safety standards.
[0009] The equipment's workflow is as follows: the linear motor system is pre-loaded with magnetic energy, and the energy storage state is locked by a mechanical structure, so the equipment has no instantaneous high-power load; during rescue deployment, the control system is released, and the linear motor instantly releases the stored electromagnetic energy, driving the catapult mechanism to complete the high-speed catapult deployment of the drone or rescue supplies.
[0010] The catapult platform features a dual-end design, allowing for independent equipment mounting and energy storage at both ends, enabling continuous and alternating deployments and significantly improving the efficiency of rescue reconnaissance and material delivery. The vehicle is equipped with multi-layer storage racks, capable of storing multiple rescue drones and emergency supplies.
[0011] The rescue and storage container vehicle serves as an energy storage and control support unit. Inside the container is a dedicated linear motor energy storage control system, a voltage stabilization and supply system, a rescue and control terminal, and material storage space, providing stable energy storage, data transmission, and logistical support for the catapult launch vehicle.
[0012] The two vehicles are equipped with a dual-lever quick-lock integrated connector, which can quickly connect and disconnect the circuit, control circuit, and energy supply circuit. It is convenient to assemble and disassemble in the field and can be deployed quickly, making it suitable for emergency rescue and dispatch needs.
[0013] In transport mode, the ejection frame can be laid flat and locked. The vehicle has a compact structure and a stable center of gravity, meeting the requirements for road travel and complex field relocation conditions.
[0014] Beneficial effects
[0015] 1. Employing linear motor electromagnetic pre-energy storage technology
[0016] Completely abandoning the instantaneous high-power surge power supply mode, it stores energy in advance and releases it instantly, resulting in a stable generator load. It can perform continuous rescue operations for a long time in environments without power grids, and its stability far exceeds that of traditional catapult equipment.
[0017] 2. Pure linear motor launch, battery-free energy storage structure.
[0018] The principle is sound and benchmarked against military-grade energy storage catapult architecture, completely avoiding battery safety hazards, complying with emergency rescue equipment safety standards, and boasting clear patent innovation and a high authorization rate.
[0019] 3. Dual-vehicle split-type rescue-specific configuration
[0020] Operations and support are arranged separately, the load is distributed and flexible, and the failure of a single piece of equipment does not affect the operation of the entire rescue system, making the reliability of emergency rescue extremely high.
[0021] 4. Dual-position alternating ejection, resulting in high rescue efficiency.
[0022] The dual-end independent energy storage catapult structure can continuously deploy detection drones and rescue supplies, making it suitable for large-area disaster investigation and multi-point rescue delivery missions.
[0023] 5. Rapid deployment in the wild, adaptable to all terrain rescue scenarios
[0024] It can complete the catapult operation without a runway or support, making it suitable for extreme rescue environments such as mountains, waters, wilderness, and disaster areas where roads are blocked. Attached Figure Description

[0030] This invention relates to an energy storage linear motor electromagnetic catapult rescue and deployment system, which mainly consists of a catapult operation vehicle, a rescue and storage container vehicle, a linear motor electromagnetic energy storage catapult assembly, a rotating and pitching frame, a double-end deployment and clamping mechanism, a quick-lock docking system, and a rescue measurement, control, energy storage, and replenishment system.
[0031] During operation, the vehicle arrives at the rescue operation area and connects the two vehicle systems through the quick-lock connector. After the equipment is powered on, the linear motor first completes the electromagnetic energy storage and locking. According to the needs of the rescue mission, the single-end or double-end alternating ejection mode is selected. After unlocking the locking structure, the linear motor releases the stored electromagnetic energy and pushes the ejection mechanism at high speed to complete the take-off of the rescue drone or the deployment of emergency supplies.
[0032] After deployment, the equipment can quickly recharge and operate in cycles. When moving to another location, disconnect the quick-lock connector, lay the catapult frame flat and lock it, and the separate vehicles can be moved to different locations to adapt to various field emergency rescue deployment scenarios.
