Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of prison security technology, specifically to an on-orbit patrol system for the outer wall of a prison. Background Technology

[0002] Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the reform of the People's Armed Police Force, the duty strategy has been defined as "comprehensive development, systematic prevention and control, technological enhancement, and ensuring security," vigorously realizing "four transformations." To strengthen the technological enhancement of the duty force, the duty deployment has shifted from mainly fixed guard posts to mainly mobile patrols.

[0003] At present, the mobile patrol and control scheme has some shortcomings: the combat force outside the prison walls is lacking, lethal weapons are mainly sentry firepower, and there is a lack of standing non-lethal denial firepower; the fixed monitoring angle is limited, cannot be moved, lacks patrol capability, and the monitoring system lacks real-time strike capability, only providing observation; the cost is high, making it difficult to popularize in grassroots prisons. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned technology and provide an on-orbit inspection system for the outer wall of a prison.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is an on-orbit patrol system for prison exterior walls, including an on-orbit strike platform and a laser early warning system;

[0006] The on-orbit strike platform includes a riot control grenade launcher, a monitoring and integration system, and an on-orbit base.

[0007] The monitoring integration system includes an optical monitoring module, a low-light night vision monitoring module, and a thermal imaging monitoring module;

[0008] The optical monitoring module uses a 1-16x optical camera, the low-light night vision monitoring module uses a Leica BIG-35 low-light night vision device, and the thermal imaging monitoring module uses an HWSW infrared binocular thermal imager.

[0009] The riot control grenade launcher is equipped with a turret ring at its upper end. The upper end of the turret ring is connected to a rail base. The riot control grenade launcher can be turned through the turret ring. The rail base is connected to a pre-set track around the outer wall of the prison, and can move along the track and make a 180° horizontal turn.

[0010] The riot control grenade launcher has a battery compartment on its left side, which contains a battery, a speaker, and a microcomputer. The microcomputer is responsible for processing alarm information and ballistic calculations, and makes corrections based on feedback from the monitoring integration system.

[0011] The laser early warning system includes a laser alarm, a sensing circuit, and a laser rangefinder. When a criminal touches the laser, the laser rangefinder quickly uploads the distance data and location to the sentry platform and the on-orbit strike platform, and issues an alarm through the laser alarm.

[0012] Furthermore, the riot control grenade launcher uses an 18.4 mm riot control barrel and fires 18.4 mm kinetic energy shotgun shells or 18.4 mm kinetic energy block rounds. The riot control grenade launcher uses a motor-driven reloading system, a 30-round drum magazine, a rate of fire of 2 rounds per second, a maximum elevation angle of 45°, and a maximum depression angle of 80°.

[0013] The advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies are as follows: This invention combines a riot gun, a remote-controlled turret, and a track camera to form a new control force between fixed monitoring and sentries, enabling proactive denial of escape attempts; it overcomes the limitations of fixed monitoring, such as its immobility and limited viewing angle, and, when combined with a laser rangefinder, can effectively predict and strike; it has built-in denial firepower, allowing for timely intervention in escape attempts, and uses 18.4mm general-purpose riot ammunition from the Armed Police Force to ensure sufficient combat capability; laser warning provides a buffer time for system response; and sound intimidation is used to deter prisoners and alert sentries; the solution is simpler, easier to implement, and lower in cost compared to the prototype.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0024] Example 1, in conjunction with Appendix Figure 1-7 An on-orbit patrol system for the outer walls of prisons, including an on-orbit strike platform and a laser early warning system;

[0025] The on-orbit strike platform includes a riot control grenade launcher 1, a monitoring and integration system 2, and an on-orbit base 3;

[0026] The monitoring integrated system 2 includes an optical monitoring module 201, a low-light night vision monitoring module 202, and a thermal imaging monitoring module 203;

[0027] The optical monitoring module 201 employs a 1-16x optical camera, the low-light night vision monitoring module 202 uses a Leica BIG-35 low-light night vision device, and the thermal imaging monitoring module 203 uses an HWSW infrared binocular thermal imager. These modules are integrated. When the monitoring integration system 2 receives an alarm or detects an object larger than 0.5 square meters within the perimeter of the prison wall, it immediately sounds an alarm. If the intruder does not immediately cease its actions within two seconds, the monitoring integration system 2 immediately issues a firing command to the riot control grenade launcher 1 to engage and deny the intruder until the criminal falls off the prison wall and lands outside the perimeter of the prison wall, at which point the alarm is deactivated.

[0028] The riot control grenade launcher 1 is provided with a turret ring 101 at the upper end. The upper end of the turret ring 101 is connected to the track base 3. The riot control grenade launcher 1 can be turned by the turret ring 101. The track base 3 is connected to the preset track 5 around the outer wall of the prison, and can move along the track 5 and make a 180° horizontal turn.

[0029] The riot control grenade launcher 1 has a battery compartment 102 on its left side. The battery compartment 102 contains a battery, a speaker, and a microcomputer. The microcomputer is responsible for processing alarm information and ballistic calculations, and makes corrections based on feedback from the monitoring integration system 2.

[0030] The laser early warning system includes a laser alarm 4, a sensing circuit, and a laser rangefinder. When a criminal touches the laser, the laser rangefinder quickly uploads the distance data and location to the sentry platform and the on-orbit strike platform, and issues an alarm through the laser alarm 4.

[0031] In this specific embodiment, the riot control grenade launcher 1 uses an 18.4mm riot control barrel and fires either 18.4mm kinetic energy shotgun shells or 18.4mm kinetic energy block rounds, selected depending on the size of the prison. The riot control grenade launcher 1 uses a motor-driven reloading system, employs a 30-round drum magazine, has a rate of fire of 2 rounds per second, a maximum elevation angle of 45°, and a maximum depression angle of 80°. The riot control grenade launcher 1 uses an automatic reloading machine 103. After each round is fired, the automatic reloading machine 103 ejects the spent cartridge case from the ejection port 104 at the bottom and pushes the next riot control grenade into the chamber from the drum magazine 105. The rifling of the launcher does not need to be parallel to the monitoring system; it automatically corrects its firing based on distance and angle, and the data is processed by the microcomputer on the left side.

[0032] In this specific embodiment, the monitoring integration system 2 is connected to the base on the riot control launcher 1 via the turret ring base 2 106, which can rotate horizontally. The Leica BIG-35 low-light night vision device and HWSW infrared binocular thermal imager are protected by an automatic light shield during the day. The light shield automatically changes according to the lighting conditions in the field of view. If the brightness is less than the set threshold, the light shield is lowered and night vision and thermal imaging are activated. The front of the monitoring integration system 2 is protected by a dustproof glass.

[0033] In this specific embodiment, the on-orbit inspection system is normally powered directly through the running track, with the battery serving as a backup option to prevent power outages. During power outage periods, each on-orbit inspection system communicates wirelessly to conduct coordinated patrols.

[0034] In this utility model:

[0035] Three triggering scenarios:

[0036] 1. The laser alarm is triggered first by the prisoner, immediately notifying the sentry and the on-orbit strike platform to take action simultaneously.

[0037] 2. If the integrated monitoring system or fixed monitor is the first to detect a prisoner's escape, it should immediately coordinate with the on-orbit strike platform to handle the situation and report to the sentry.

[0038] 3. When a sentry discovers a prisoner escaping, he sounds an alarm and triggers the on-orbit strike platform's target acquisition mode.

[0039] Require:

[0040] 1. This system must be compatible with the current "Smart Rock" system.

[0041] 2. When a prisoner triggers the laser alarm, at most three on-orbit patrol systems should pay attention, while other platforms should be regrouped and repositioned to maintain monitoring of the prison area, so as not to be lured away by the prisoner.

[0042] 3. When replacing the on-orbit inspection system, technicians should be carried out by riding in a dedicated vehicle for replacement and maintenance.

[0043] The specific textual description of the triggering method is as follows:

[0044] 1. When a criminal triggers the laser alarm:

[0045] 1. The laser alarm quickly sends an alert to the on-orbit patrol system and sentries.

[0046] 2. Based on the distance provided by the alarm, the on-orbit patrol system locates and maneuvers to quickly search for the enemy.

[0047] The sentry quickly sounded the alarm and requested ammunition from the duty room.

[0048] 3. The on-orbit patrol system will issue an alarm. If the criminal does not stop, it will automatically fire after 2 seconds to prevent further action.

[0049] The sentry fired a warning shot to intimidate the criminal; if the criminal did not stop, he would shoot.

[0050] 4. The criminal's vital signs cease, and support is awaited for verification.

[0051] II. When a criminal is detected by the on-orbit surveillance system:

[0052] 1. The on-orbit patrol system quickly issues an alarm and alerts the sentry and the duty room.

[0053] 2. After a two-second warning, the platform begins firing to deny the attack;

[0054] The sentry requested ammunition from the duty room.

[0055] 3. If the on-orbit inspection system's denial is effective, the process ends and awaits verification;

[0056] If the refusal is ineffective, the sentry fires a warning shot before engaging in open fire.

[0057] 4. The criminal's physical signs cease, awaiting verification.

[0058] 3. When a criminal is spotted by a sentry:

[0059] 1. The sentry quickly sounded the alarm and requested ammunition from the duty room.

[0060] 2. Upon receiving the alarm, the on-orbit patrol system quickly searches for the surrounding area and sounds the platform alarm;

[0061] The sentry fired a warning shot, and when that failed, he opened fire.

[0062] 3. If the on-orbit patrol system successfully detects an enemy, it will enter the normal process, issue a warning, and then deny the enemy's presence.

[0063] 4. The criminal's physical signs cease, awaiting verification.

[0064] In this scheme, the three triggering methods are parallel and the underlying control means is the sentry. Whether the laser alarm or the on-orbit patrol system discovers a criminal, it will be reported to the sentry. The sentry and the on-orbit strike platform will handle the situation in parallel. The on-orbit strike platform will not stop firing while the sentry is firing.
