Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) application technology, specifically to a mobile patrol and emergency command system and method based on a vehicle-mounted UAV. Background Technology

[0002] In scenarios involving natural disasters, public emergencies, or security for large-scale events, rapid, flexible, and efficient on-site inspection and emergency command capabilities are crucial. Traditional fixed monitoring systems have limited coverage and cannot cope with dynamically changing situations. Manual inspections, on the other hand, are inefficient, have limited field of vision, and are easily constrained by terrain and environment.

[0003] In recent years, drone technology has been widely used in patrol and monitoring due to its advantages such as high mobility and wide field of view. However, existing drone patrol systems mostly rely on fixed ground stations or individual soldier operation. Fixed ground stations cannot move with the mission site, separating the command center from the operation site and causing information delays. In addition, drone batteries have limited lifespan, requiring frequent returns to fixed points for charging, affecting continuous operation capabilities. In mountainous areas or disaster areas where public network signals are lacking, conventional 4G / 5G communication may be interrupted, causing command links to fail. Single-unit operation has limited functionality, making it impossible to complete multiple tasks such as patrol and on-site command and control, resulting in insufficient comprehensive emergency response capabilities. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention discloses a mobile patrol emergency command system based on vehicle-mounted drones, a drone transport vehicle, wherein the drone transport vehicle is equipped with a vehicle-mounted command terminal, a power supply management module, a drone take-off and landing platform, and a vehicle-mounted drone that is compatible with the drone device platform;

[0005] The vehicle-mounted command terminal integrates an intelligent processing unit and a first wireless communication module to realize information reception, information processing and summarization, communication and consultation with the rear, task planning and command issuance.

[0006] The power supply management module is used for unified management and power supply of vehicle-mounted equipment, drone charging power, and external emergency power.

[0007] The drone take-off and landing platform integrates a drone charging module and a drone dynamic take-off and landing control module to ensure the dynamic take-off and landing of the vehicle-mounted drone and the recovery and charging of the drone during vehicle movement.

[0008] The vehicle-mounted drone integrates a data acquisition module, a second wireless communication module, and a positioning module for data acquisition and information feedback. It maintains real-time information transmission and task reception with the vehicle-mounted command terminal through the first wireless communication module.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the system supports multi-UAV system operation, and the UAV take-off and landing platform supports the recovery function of multiple UAVs and any landing point.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module include a 4G / 5G public network communication unit, a private network communication unit, and a BeiDou short message unit.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the data acquisition module includes a high-definition camera, an infrared thermal imager, and a lidar.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted drone is also equipped with a broadcast module, a searchlight, a cargo pod, and other mission modules for tasks such as on-site command, auxiliary lighting, and cargo transfer.

[0013] A mobile patrol and emergency command method based on a vehicle-mounted drone, implemented using the aforementioned system, includes the following steps:

[0014] Step 1: The drone transport vehicle arrives at the mission area, activates the drone take-off and landing platform, completes the self-test and startup of the vehicle-mounted drone, and establishes a communication link with the vehicle-mounted command terminal.

[0015] Step 2: The vehicle-mounted command terminal plans the patrol route and issues instructions to control the drone to automatically cruise and fly according to the patrol coordinates, perform patrol tasks, and collect information in real time through the data acquisition module and transmit it back to the vehicle-mounted command terminal.

[0016] Step 3: The vehicle-mounted command terminal processes the transmitted data in real time through the intelligent processing module, identifies the preset event types and generates alarm information. Operators conduct inspections simultaneously through real-time video information, make real-time judgments on the situation at the inspection site, conduct video conferences, and implement on-site handling.

[0017] Step 4: When the mission is completed or the drone's battery is low, the vehicle-mounted drone uses the positioning module to determine the drone's take-off and landing platform location in real time, automatically plans the return route, and uses the drone's dynamic take-off and landing control module to ensure the drone lands accurately and recharges.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes initiating multi-drone collaboration according to mission requirements, with different UAVs equipped with mission modules such as external broadcasting modules, searchlights, and cargo pods to coordinate and complete on-site command and coordination tasks.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention integrates the command system, UAV take-off and landing, and charging functions into a transport vehicle, enabling mobile transfer and rapid deployment to the front lines for emergency patrols and command operations, significantly improving emergency response speed and continuous operational capability upon arrival. Through a dynamic take-off and landing control module, the vehicle supports autonomous take-off, landing, and recovery of UAVs during movement, without consuming additional time, thus improving the flexibility of continuous operations. The integration of public and private networks with BeiDou short message communication ensures uninterrupted command links even in public network blind spots (such as disaster areas and mountainous regions), providing comprehensive communication support capabilities. The UAVs are equipped with multiple sensors, including high-definition, infrared, and lidar, and, in conjunction with the vehicle-mounted intelligent processing unit, can automatically identify preset events (such as fires, trapped personnel, etc.) in real time and issue immediate alarms to assist decision-making. By coordinating multiple UAVs and mounting broadcast, lighting, and cargo transport modules, it can adapt to various emergency scenarios such as patrols, evacuation guidance, nighttime lighting, and material delivery.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention is a mobile patrol emergency command system and method based on vehicle-mounted drones. The system includes a drone transport vehicle, which is equipped with a vehicle-mounted command terminal, a power management module, a drone take-off and landing platform, and a vehicle-mounted drone that is compatible with the drone device platform.

[0023] The vehicle-mounted command terminal, as the core of the system, integrates a high-performance intelligent processing unit (such as an embedded AI computing platform) and a first wireless communication module. The intelligent processing unit is responsible for running image recognition algorithms, fusing multi-sensor data, and planning task paths. The first wireless communication module is a composite communication gateway that simultaneously supports 4G / 5G public networks, 340MHz / 1.4GHz private networks, and BeiDou short message service, ensuring reliable data transmission with the rear command center and drones.

[0024] The power management module employs an intelligent power management system. Its input connects to an onboard generator or high-capacity battery pack, while its output provides a stable power supply to the onboard command terminal, take-off and landing platform, and drone charging module. Additionally, the module is equipped with a standard emergency power interface, capable of providing emergency power to on-site lighting, communication equipment, and other emergency devices.

[0025] The drone takeoff and landing platform, mounted on the vehicle roof, features automatic opening and closing and horizontal stabilization. The platform integrates: a drone charging module using a contact or wireless charging interface compatible with the drone's bottom electrodes; and a drone dynamic takeoff and landing control module that, by integrating the vehicle's IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), GPS, and the drone's downward-looking vision, calculates the vehicle's motion and relative position in real time, guiding the drone to autonomously complete landing lock-on or takeoff and undocking.

[0026] At least one vehicle-mounted drone is required. It carries:

[0027] Data acquisition module: includes a high-magnification optical zoom HD camera, an infrared thermal imager, and a lidar for 3D modeling.

[0028] Second wireless communication module: Corresponding to the first wireless communication module, it supports automatic switching of multiple frequency bands.

[0029] High-precision positioning module: RTK-GPS, centimeter-level positioning.

[0030] Replaceable task modules: such as loudspeaker, high-power LED searchlight, and small cargo pod.

[0031] The mobile patrol emergency command method based on the above system includes the following steps:

[0032] Step 1: The drone transport vehicle arrives at the mission area, activates the drone take-off and landing platform, completes the self-test and startup of the vehicle-mounted drone, and establishes a communication link with the vehicle-mounted command terminal.

[0033] Step 2: The vehicle-mounted command terminal plans the patrol route and issues instructions to control the drone to automatically cruise and fly according to the patrol coordinates, perform patrol tasks, take real-time pictures along the flight route through a high-definition camera, perform thermal imaging scans of key areas through an infrared thermal imager, and transmit the data information back to the vehicle-mounted command terminal.

[0034] Step 3: The vehicle-mounted command terminal processes the transmitted data in real time through the intelligent processing module, identifies preset event types and generates alarm information. Operators conduct simultaneous inspections through real-time video information, make real-time judgments on the situation at the inspection site, conduct video conferences, and implement on-site handling. For example, multiple drones equipped with mission modules such as external broadcasting modules, searchlights, and cargo pods are dispatched to carry out on-site broadcasting command, emergency lighting, cargo transfer, and other tasks.

[0035] Step 4: Upon completion of the mission or when the drone's battery is low, the vehicle-mounted drone uses its positioning module to determine the real-time location of the drone's take-off and landing platform, automatically plans its return route, and, guided by the vehicle's rooftop dynamic locking system, successfully lands on the charging station on the moving vehicle roof to begin automatic charging. By equipping multiple vehicle-mounted drones, the command terminal can dispatch backup drones to achieve uninterrupted patrols.
