Description

Technical Field

[0001] This patent relates to the field of fire-fighting drones, specifically a water pipe connection device for fire-fighting drones. Background Technology

[0002] Firefighting drones are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and onboard programs. They are mainly used in the field of fire rescue. As a new industrial technology, drone firefighting has been widely used in various fields. In China, many fire departments have successfully used drones to conduct fire scene reconnaissance and monitoring, and drop rescue supplies, with very obvious results.

[0003] At present, firefighting drones that need to be connected to water pipes have their water pipes fixed directly below the drone. The drone lifts the water pipe to a designated height, and then a water pump pumps water into the pipe, which is then sprayed out through nozzles to extinguish the fire.

[0004] However, existing drone water pipe connection devices can only fix the water pipe and do not have a counterweight mechanism. As the drone rises, the weight of the water pipe itself can easily cause the drone to lose its balance. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this patent is to provide a water pipe connection device for fire-fighting drones.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this patent to solve its technical problem is: a water pipe connection device for fire-fighting drones, including a drone lower fixing plate and a fixing ring. The drone lower fixing plate is installed below the external fire-fighting drone. A fixing ring is installed on the lower wall of the drone lower fixing plate, and a water pipe is inserted into the fixing ring.

[0007] The lower wall of the fixed ring is equipped with a counterweight mechanism, which includes a support rod, a crossbar, an arc plate, and a counterweight block. One end of the support rod is installed on the lower wall of the fixed ring, and the other end of the support rod is equipped with a crossbar. One end of the crossbar is equipped with an arc plate, which is located below the water pipe. The other end of the crossbar is equipped with a counterweight block.

[0008] Furthermore, a fire nozzle is installed at the end of the water pipe. The fire nozzle includes a connecting pipe and a nozzle. The connecting pipe is sleeved on the outside of the end of the water pipe and inserted into a fixing ring. The outside of the connecting pipe is provided with external threads, and the nozzle is installed on the outside of the connecting pipe by rotating the threads.

[0009] Furthermore, a support block is installed on the upper wall of the arc-shaped plate, and the support block is attached to the lower wall of the water pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the crossbar has an external thread on its outer side, and the counterweight includes a fixed sleeve, a threaded hole and a counterweight ring. The side wall of the fixed sleeve has a threaded hole, and the crossbar can be screwed into the threaded hole. The inner side wall of the fixed sleeve is fitted with a counterweight ring.

[0011] Furthermore, a fixing bolt is inserted and installed on the lower wall of the drone's lower fixing plate, and the fixing bolt is screwed into and installed on the lower wall of the external fire-fighting drone.

[0012] Furthermore, sealing rings are provided at the connections between the water pipe, the connecting pipe, and the water gun head.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this patent are:

[0014] This device improves its flight stability by installing a counterweight mechanism below its fixed ring, which allows it to maintain a balance of forces on both sides of the device by adjusting the weight of the counterweight block in the counterweight mechanism.

[0015] In addition, an arc-shaped plate is installed above the crossbar of this device. The arc-shaped plate can support the water pipe and prevent the water pipe from being bent excessively, which would affect the flow of water. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present patent is further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the patent. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this patent, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to this patent, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0021] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this patent. A water pipe connection device for a fire-fighting drone includes a drone lower fixing plate 1 and a fixing ring 2. The drone lower fixing plate 1 is installed below the external fire-fighting drone. The fixing ring 2 is installed on the lower wall of the drone lower fixing plate 1. A water pipe 3 is inserted into the fixing ring 2.

[0022] After fixing the lower mounting plate 1 of the drone to the bottom of the fire-fighting drone with fixing bolts 7, and then fixing the water pipe 3 to the fixing ring 2 through the fire nozzle 5, the fire-fighting drone can take off and move to the fire location. Then the external water pump can be started to pump water into the water pipe 3 and spray it out through the fire nozzle 5 to extinguish the fire.

[0023] A counterweight mechanism 4 is installed on the lower wall of the fixed ring 2. The counterweight mechanism 4 includes a support rod 41, a crossbar 42, an arc plate 43, and a counterweight block 44. One end of the support rod 41 is installed on the lower wall of the fixed ring 2, and the other end of the support rod 41 is installed with the crossbar 42. One end of the crossbar 42 is installed with the arc plate 43, which is located below the water pipe 3. The other end of the crossbar 42 is installed with the counterweight block 44.

[0024] Because the water pipe 3 has a certain weight, and there will also be a certain recoil force when spraying water, in order to make the fire-fighting drone equipped with this device fly more stably, a counterweight mechanism 4 is set below the fixed ring 2 of this device. By setting the counterweight block 44, the weight of the counterweight block 44 in the counterweight mechanism 4 can be adjusted to ensure that the forces on both sides of this device are kept as balanced as possible, thereby improving the stability of the fire-fighting drone equipped with this device when flying.

[0025] A fire nozzle 5 is installed at the end of the water pipe 3. The fire nozzle 5 includes a connecting pipe 51 and a nozzle 52. The connecting pipe 51 is sleeved on the outside of the end of the water pipe 3. The connecting pipe 51 is inserted into the fixing ring 2. The outside of the connecting pipe 51 is provided with external threads. The nozzle 52 is installed on the outside of the connecting pipe 51 by rotating the threads.

[0026] A support block 6 is installed on the upper wall of the arc plate 43, and the support block 6 is attached to the lower wall of the water pipe 3;

[0027] The curved plate 43 and the support block 6 above can support the water pipe 3, preventing the water pipe 3 from being bent excessively and affecting the flow of water.

[0028] The crossbar 42 has an external thread on its outer side. The counterweight 44 includes a fixed sleeve 441, a threaded hole 442 and a counterweight ring 443. The side wall of the fixed sleeve 441 has a threaded hole 442. The crossbar 42 can be screwed into the threaded hole 442. The counterweight ring 443 is inserted into the inner side wall of the fixed sleeve 441.

[0029] By adding or removing the counterweight ring 443, the weight of the counterweight block 44 can be adjusted. At the same time, the counterweight ring 443 is sleeved on the outside of the crossbar 42, which can effectively prevent the counterweight ring 443 from falling off.

[0030] A fixing bolt 7 is inserted into the lower wall of the drone's lower mounting plate 1, and the fixing bolt 7 is screwed into the lower wall of the external fire-fighting drone.

[0031] Sealing rings are provided at the connections between water pipe 3, connecting pipe 51 and water gun head 52;

[0032] By using a sealing ring, water leakage can be prevented at the connection between water pipe 3, connecting pipe 51 and water gun head 52.

[0033] When this patent is working, after fixing the lower fixing plate 1 of the drone to the bottom of the fire-fighting drone with fixing bolts 7, and then fixing the water pipe 3 to the fixing ring 2 through the fire nozzle 5, the fire-fighting drone can take off and move to the fire position. Then the external water pump can be started to pump water into the water pipe 3, and then sprayed out through the fire nozzle 5 to extinguish the fire.

[0034] Because the water pipe 3 has a certain weight, and there will also be a certain recoil force when spraying water, in order to make the fire-fighting drone equipped with this device fly more stably, a counterweight mechanism 4 is set below the fixed ring 2 of this device. By setting the counterweight block 44, the weight of the counterweight block 44 in the counterweight mechanism 4 can be adjusted to ensure that the forces on both sides of this device are kept as balanced as possible, thereby improving the stability of the fire-fighting drone equipped with this device when flying.
