[0037] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of the present invention and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] This embodiment provides a drone transport vehicle for low-altitude emergency firefighting, as shown in Figure 1, including a drone storage compartment 2, a water tank 3, and a water hose assembly 4;

[0040] The drone storage compartment 2 is used to store drones; the drone storage compartment 2 includes a compartment body 21 and a landing pad 22, the landing pad 22 is set inside the compartment body 21, and the drone is parked on the landing pad 22;

[0041] Water hose assembly 4 includes water hose 41, one end of which is connected to the drone and the other end of which is connected to the water tank 3;

[0042] When the helipad 22 is not raised, the water hose 41 is locked in place. After the helipad 22 is raised, the water hose 41 is released from its locked state and can be deployed as the drone flies.

[0043] This utility model discloses a drone transport vehicle for low-altitude emergency firefighting. When the drone transport vehicle 1 transports the drone to the fire scene, the landing pad 22 where the drone is parked rises, releasing the locking state of the landing pad 22 to the water hose 41. When the drone takes off from the landing pad 22 to carry out fire rescue, the water hose 41 unfolds under the pull of the drone, saving the connection time of the water hose 41, thereby controlling the fire more promptly, saving lives and reducing property damage.

[0044] Furthermore, the helipad 22 includes a brake pin 221, which is disposed on the lower end face of the helipad 22 and is disposed opposite to the water hose assembly 4.

[0045] The water hose assembly 4 includes a rotating shaft 42, a winch 43, and a winch support frame 44. The winch 43 is mounted on the winch support frame 44, and the rotating shaft 42 is rotatably mounted on the winch 43. The water hose 41 is wound around the rotating shaft 42, and a groove 421 is provided on the rotating shaft 42. The groove 421 is positioned opposite to the brake pin 221. When the helipad 22 is not raised, the brake pin 221 is inserted into the groove 421, and the water hose 41 is in a locked state. After the helipad 22 is raised, the brake pin 221 is pulled out from the groove 421, and the water hose 41 is released from its unlocked state.

[0046] Furthermore, the water hose assembly 4 also includes a drive motor (not shown in the figure), with the rotating shaft 42 mounted on the drive motor. When the drone completes the fire rescue work, during the process of the drone being recovered to the landing pad 22, the drive motor controls the rotating shaft 42 to rotate in the opposite direction to recover the water hose 41. The recovery speed of the water hose 41 by the drive motor is matched with the descent speed of the drone.

[0047] Furthermore, in order to ensure sufficient water supply during drone firefighting, this embodiment also includes a high-pressure water pump 6, with the two ends of the high-pressure water pump 6 connected to a water tank 3 and a water hose 41.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] The drone transport vehicle for low-altitude emergency firefighting shown in this embodiment is illustrated in Figures 2 and 3. Based on embodiment 1, the upper surface of the cabin 21 on which the drone is placed is provided with a door 211. The door 211 includes a hinged end and a free end, with the hinged end hinged to the upper surface of the cabin 21.

[0050] In order to enable the automatic opening of the hatch 211, this embodiment also includes a telescopic rod 23, which is vertically installed on the apron 22 and is positioned opposite to the free end.

[0051] In this embodiment, the drone transport vehicle for low-altitude emergency firefighting transports the drone to the fire scene. The landing pad 22 rises under the push of the drive device 5. As the landing pad 22 rises, the telescopic boom 23 pushes the free end of the hatch 211, opening it. Simultaneously, after the landing pad 22 rises, the locking state of the water hose 41 is released, and the drone flies out of the drone storage compartment 2 with the hatch 211 open, deploying the water hose 41.

[0052] During the ascent of the helipad 22, the telescopic boom 23 pushes the free end of the hatch 211, opening the hatch 211 and releasing the helipad 22 from the locking state of the water hose 41. This saves time in opening the hatch 211 and connecting the water hose 41, allowing direct access to the fire scene for fire rescue, thereby controlling the fire more promptly, saving lives and reducing property damage.

[0053] The upper end of the telescopic boom 23 is located on the lower end face of the hatch 211, and the lower end of the telescopic boom 23 is located on the apron 22. As shown in Figure 4, the telescopic boom 23 includes an inner cylinder 231 and an outer cylinder 232. The outer cylinder 232 includes a hollow cavity with one end open, and the inner cylinder 231 is telescopically disposed in the hollow cavity. A sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the hollow cavity, and a slider matching the sliding groove is provided on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 231, allowing the inner cylinder 231 to slide up and down within the sliding groove of the hollow cavity of the outer cylinder 232.

[0054] The upper end of the inner cylinder 231 is hinged to the free end of the hatch 211, and the lower end of the outer cylinder 232 is hinged to the apron 22. After the telescopic rod 23 pushes the hatch 211 to open, the inner cylinder 231 extends out of the outer cylinder 232 as the hatch 211 opens, so that the hatch 211 can be opened smoothly.

[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
