[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] Light railcars used to mount target drones typically feature a simple structural design and a relatively small body, facilitating flexible movement on railway tracks. The vehicle body is primarily constructed of high-strength steel to ensure durability and stability in complex environments. The power system of these railcars is generally electric, powered by an electric motor and battery pack mounted on the undercarriage. This method is not only environmentally friendly but also produces less noise, making it suitable for training environments requiring a degree of concealment. The electric drive system also offers good acceleration performance and stable operating speed, allowing for flexible adjustments to the target drone's speed and direction according to training needs.
[0022] The chassis of the railcar is specially designed to meet the operational requirements of railway tracks. Its wheels are typically made of rubber or metal, providing excellent grip and wear resistance. The contact surfaces between the wheels and the rails are precision-machined to reduce friction and wear during operation, thus extending the railcar's service life. Furthermore, the chassis is equipped with a steering mechanism, enabling the railcar to maneuver flexibly on the track and achieve complex motion trajectories, such as linear acceleration, deceleration, and turning, thereby more realistically simulating target movement on the battlefield.
[0023] The railcar features a specially designed mounting system for target drones. A target drone is a device used to simulate enemy targets, typically made of high-strength materials capable of withstanding significant impact from firing. The shape and size of the target drone can be customized to meet training needs; common shapes include humanoid, vehicle-shaped, and tank-shaped drones to satisfy different types of military training requirements. The target drone is mounted on the railcar using specialized mounting devices, which are usually adjustable to accommodate the size and shape of the target drone, ensuring stability during railcar operation.
[0024] The track vehicle is also equipped with an advanced control system for controlling the movement of the target drone and the operation of the track vehicle. The control system typically consists of a computer, sensors, and actuators, enabling precise control of the target drone's trajectory. Through a pre-set program, the target drone can move along a predetermined route and speed on the track vehicle, simulating the movement patterns of enemy targets. For example, in simulated tank combat training, the target drone can move according to the tank's speed and tactical maneuvers, providing trainees with realistic shooting targets. The control system can also adjust the target drone's movement in real time based on the trainees' shooting performance, such as accelerating, decelerating, or stopping, to increase the difficulty and challenge of the training.
[0025] To enhance the safety and reliability of training, the track vehicle is equipped with various safety devices. For example, buffer devices are installed at the front and rear of the vehicle to absorb impact forces in the event of a collision, protecting the vehicle body and target from damage. Furthermore, the track vehicle is equipped with an emergency braking system; in the event of an emergency, operators can quickly activate the emergency braking device to bring the track vehicle to an immediate stop, preventing accidents. Simultaneously, the track vehicle's speed and direction are strictly limited to ensure training is conducted within safe limits.
[0026] In military training, lightweight railcars equipped with target drones are widely used. They can be used for shooting training of various branches of the armed forces, including infantry, armored forces, and artillery, helping soldiers familiarize themselves with the firing performance and tactical applications of different weapons and equipment. For example, in infantry small arms shooting training, the railcar can carry small target drones to simulate the movement of enemy soldiers, improving soldiers' accuracy and reaction speed when firing at moving targets. In armored force training, the railcar can carry large target drones to simulate the movement of enemy tanks, providing live-fire training for tank crews. Furthermore, railcars can also be used for teaching demonstrations in military academies, helping students better understand the battlefield environment and tactical applications.
[0027] Beyond military training, light railcars equipped with target drones can be used in other related fields. For example, in railway safety testing, railcars can carry target drones to simulate obstacles or intruders along the railway line, testing the effectiveness of railway monitoring systems and security equipment. In film and television production, railcars can also be used as props to film scenes such as train chases and railway battles, adding realistic effects to film and television works.
[0028] The light railcar equipped with target drones is a specialized piece of equipment integrating multiple functions. Its design and application fully consider the needs of military training and related fields. By carrying target drones and simulating target movement, the railcar provides trainees with a realistic training environment, helping to improve training effectiveness and combat capabilities. With continuous technological advancements, the performance and functionality of this railcar will continue to improve, providing stronger support for military training and related fields.
[0029] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a lightweight railcar for easy installation of a target machine includes a platform 1 and a drive box 2. The drive box 2 for mounting and fixing the target plate is installed on the upper end of the platform 1. It also includes a connecting shaft 3, a fastening nut 4, a fixing box 6, a connecting rod 7, a positioning block 11, a buffer block 13, and a pulley 14. Both ends of the drive box 2 are fixed with connecting shafts 3. One end of the connecting shaft 3 is located inside the drive box 2 and a spring is fixed therein. The spring has a spring rubber damper inside. The outer end of the connecting shaft 3 is installed with a fastening nut 4, which is fastened and fixed to the connecting shaft 3. The upper end of the drive box 2 is symmetrically equipped with connecting blocks. One end of the connecting blocks is fixed with a pull rod 5. The upper end of the platform 1 is located on one side of the drive box 2 and a fixing box 6 is fixed therein. The outer end of the fixing box 6 is symmetrically equipped with connecting rods 7. The end of the connecting rod 7 away from the fixing box 6 is equipped with a light.
[0030] Please see Figures 2-4 A positioning plate is fixed to the end of the connecting rod 7 away from the light. Several sets of screws are installed inside the positioning plate. The positioning plate is threaded to the fixing box 6 by several sets of screws. Two sets of batteries 8 are installed inside the fixing box 6. Two sets of connectors 10 are fixed to the outer wall of the fixing box 6. The light is electrically connected to the batteries 8. Positioning blocks 11 are fixed at both corners of the vehicle plate 1. Positioning pins 12 are installed inside the positioning blocks 11. The positioning blocks 11 have connecting holes for accommodating the positioning pins 12.
[0031] Please see Figures 3-5 The outer wall of the vehicle plate 1 is equipped with several sets of pulleys 14, and each set of pulleys 14 has a connecting rod 15 fixed inside. The vehicle plate 1 has a bearing installed inside, and the pulleys 14 are fixed to the bearings by connecting rods 15.

The upper end of the vehicle plate 1 is provided with a connecting groove to accommodate the limit block, and the buffer blocks 13 are fixed to the vehicle plate 1 by the limit block. The outer end of the fixed box 6 is equipped with a control module 9, and one end of the control module 9 is electrically connected to the lighting lamp.
[0032] When the target plate needs to be installed, it is fitted with two sets of connecting shafts 3 for positioning. After the target plate is inserted into the connecting shaft 3, the fastening nut 4 is fitted onto the outer end of the connecting shaft 3 and rotated to tighten it. This helps the target plate to be quickly installed onto the railcar, reducing complex bolt connections and multi-step adjustment processes, making installation and disassembly operations simpler and faster. The fastening nut 4 provides a fixing point to secure the target plate to the outer end of the connecting shaft 3, ensuring that the target plate will not loosen or fall off during operation. After the target plate is fixed by the fastening nut 4, the return spring inside the drive box 2 adjusts the target plate to its position. The target plate is positioned at a designated location, and the rebound spring provides a certain buffering effect when the target plate is impacted or vibrated, reducing the risk of damage. After the target plate is installed, the vehicle plate 1 can be pushed and moved to the designated shooting area using the pulley 14. Next, the positioning pin 12 is inserted into the positioning block 11 and fixed to the ground. After the vehicle plate 1 is fixed to the ground, the control module 9 drives the lighting lamp to provide illumination. When the target plate is impacted or collapses due to shooting, the buffer block 13 can provide a certain buffering force for the target plate, reducing its impact with the vehicle plate 1 and extending the service life of the equipment.
