Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fire monitoring devices, and in particular to a fire monitoring device deployed by a drone. Background Technology

[0002] In firefighting operations inside buildings, follow-up monitoring after the initial extinguishing of the fire is crucial. Embers or smoldering flames may reignite due to oxygen or cause secondary explosions due to structural defects. The site may be filled with toxic and harmful gases produced during combustion, and high temperatures can cause concrete cracking, steel corrosion, and damage to the building's structural stability, posing a significant safety hazard to firefighters carrying out subsequent work.

[0003] Currently, post-fire monitoring mainly relies on firefighters manually inspecting the scene using handheld visible light cameras and thermal imagers, or conducting localized observations using temporary fixed monitoring cameras. This forces firefighters to repeatedly enter dangerous environments with high temperatures, toxic gases, and unstable building structures, posing significant personal safety risks. In some scenarios, drones have been attempted to fly directly into the fire scene for filming, but limitations in battery life, high-temperature tolerance, and signal transmission stability make it difficult to achieve long-term, multi-angle continuous monitoring.

[0004] Therefore, a new type of monitoring device has emerged on the market. This device can be precisely deployed by drones to complex areas inside buildings after the initial fire has been extinguished, for post-disaster fire monitoring. However, in practical applications, it has been found that due to the significant impact force upon landing, the base of the monitoring device is easily damaged upon contact with the ground, affecting the stability and lifespan of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fire monitoring device that is deployed by a drone and can cushion the base when it touches the ground.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model:

[0007] A fire monitoring device deployed by a drone includes a base and a monitoring component mounted on the base. The base contains an airbag, and the airbag contains multiple longitudinally arranged elastic support columns, which are arranged in a ring.

[0008] Furthermore, the base is tapered, narrower at the top and wider at the bottom.

[0009] Furthermore, a plurality of one-way valves are annularly mounted on the top of the base.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the base is annularly arranged with densely packed micro-thorns.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the base has a mounting slot, and the monitoring component includes an outer cover disposed in the mounting slot, the outer cover containing a body, and the body having an infrared thermal imaging camera and a visible light camera.

[0012] Furthermore, the body contains a piezoelectric buzzer, and the body also has a sound outlet corresponding to the piezoelectric buzzer;

[0013] The top of the outer cover has a hanging ring, and the top of the hanging ring has an LED module.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer cover has a viewing window, and the body is spherical; two first motors are symmetrically fixed on the outer wall of the body, and the output shafts of the first motors are fixed on the inner wall of the outer cover.

[0015] Furthermore, the outer cover includes an upper cover and a lower cover. The lower cover is fixed in the mounting groove. The lower end of the inner wall of the upper cover has an annular protrusion, and the upper end of the outer wall of the lower cover has an annular groove that mates with the annular protrusion. A second motor is fixed on the inner wall of the upper cover, and the output shaft of the second motor is fixed on the inner bottom surface of the lower cover.

[0016] Furthermore, both the inner shell of the main body and the inner shell of the outer cover have heat insulation layers.

[0017] Furthermore, the machine body is equipped with a heat insulation module, which contains a circuit board and a high-temperature resistant battery.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] (1) The base contains an airbag, which provides impact buffering and energy absorption when the monitoring device is dropped to the ground. The airbag contains multiple longitudinally arranged elastic support columns. When not under stress, the elastic support columns can provide support and keep the airbag in its default shape. When it hits the ground, the support columns will deform instantly to play an auxiliary buffering role.

[0020] (2) Multiple one-way valves are installed in a ring on the top of the base. When the airbag touches the ground, the air pressure inside the airbag increases instantly, causing the air inside the airbag to be discharged from the one-way valves, thus providing a buffering effect.

[0021] (3) The bottom of the base is surrounded by a ring of densely packed micro-spiky spikes. The densely packed micro-spiky spikes can be effectively embedded in the tiny gaps of the contact surface. Combined with the flexible bottom surface (silicone material), they can adhere to and be confined to the rough surface of various objects to achieve the adaptive function of terrain.

[0022] This invention can cushion the base when it touches the ground. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this utility model provides a first embodiment of a fire monitoring device deployed by a drone, including a base 1 and a monitoring component 2 mounted on the base 1. The base 1 contains an airbag 101, providing impact buffering and energy absorption upon the device's landing. The airbag 101 contains multiple longitudinally arranged elastic support columns 102. When not under stress, the elastic support columns 102 provide support, maintaining the airbag 101's default shape. Upon landing, the support columns deform instantaneously, providing auxiliary cushioning. The multiple elastic support columns 102 are arranged in a ring, better supporting the airbag 101 and providing better auxiliary cushioning.

[0033] In this embodiment, the elastic support column 102 can be made of silicone, but is not limited to this.

[0034] Based on the first embodiment, this utility model provides a second embodiment of a fire monitoring device deployed by a drone. The base 1 is tapered in shape, which is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. This shape lowers the overall center of gravity of the monitoring device, making it less prone to tipping over.

[0035] Based on any of the above embodiments, this utility model provides a third embodiment of a fire monitoring device deployed by a drone. The top of the base 1 is equipped with a plurality of one-way valves 3 in a ring. When the device touches the ground, the air pressure inside the airbag 101 increases instantaneously, causing the air inside the airbag 101 to be discharged from the one-way valves 3, thus providing a buffering effect.

[0036] In this embodiment, the one-way valve 3 can be a breathing valve, but it is not limited to this.

[0037] Based on any of the above embodiments, this utility model provides a fourth embodiment of a fire monitoring device deployed by a drone. The base 1 is made of silicone material, and the bottom of the base 1 is circumferentially arranged with closely spaced micro-spiky spikes 4. The closely spaced micro-spiky spikes 4 can be effectively embedded in the tiny gaps of the contact surface. Combined with the flexible bottom surface (silicone material), it can adhere to and be confined to the rough surface of various objects to achieve the terrain adaptive function.

[0038] Based on any of the above embodiments, this utility model provides a fifth embodiment of a fire monitoring device deployed by a drone. The base 1 has a mounting groove 103 at its top. The monitoring component 2 includes an outer cover 201 fixed within the mounting groove 103. A body 202 is located inside the outer cover 201. An infrared thermal imaging camera 203 and a visible light camera 204 are mounted on the body 202. The visible light camera 204 can capture visible light, and the infrared thermal imaging camera 203 can capture infrared thermal images.

[0039] In this embodiment, a temperature sensor (not shown) may also be installed on the body 202 for detecting temperature.

[0040] Based on the fifth embodiment, this utility model provides a sixth embodiment of a fire monitoring device deployed by a drone. The body 202 has a piezoelectric buzzer 205 inside, and the body 202 also has a sound outlet 206 corresponding to the piezoelectric buzzer 205. The piezoelectric buzzer 205 and the sound outlet 206 work together to emit a high-pitched buzzing sound.

[0041] The top of the outer cover 201 has a hanging ring 207, through which the monitoring device can be mounted on the drone. The top of the hanging ring 207 has an LED module 208, which can emit a bright flash.

[0042] When the temperature sensor detects a sudden temperature rise, it activates the piezoelectric buzzer and LED module to issue an audible and visual alarm. After the monitoring task is completed, a bright flash and a high-pitched buzzer provide guidance for manual retrieval.

[0043] Based on the sixth embodiment, this utility model provides a seventh embodiment of a fire monitoring device deployed by a drone. The outer casing 201 has a viewing window 209, which is elongated, allowing the infrared thermal imaging camera 203 and the visible light camera 204 to swing up and down within the viewing window 209 to adjust the shooting angle. The body 202 is spherical. Two first motors 210 are symmetrically fixed on the outer wall of the body 202. The output shafts 211 of the first motors 210 are fixed on the inner wall of the outer casing 201. When the two first motors 210 are started simultaneously, since the output shafts 211 of the first motors 210 are fixedly connected to the outer casing 201, the bodies of the first motors 210 are rotated. The rotation of the bodies of the two first motors 210 causes the body 202 to swing within the outer casing 201, thereby adjusting the position of the infrared thermal imaging camera 203 and the visible light camera 204, adjusting the shooting angle, covering more fire area, and reducing monitoring blind spots.

[0044] In this embodiment, the sound outlet 206 is positioned above the infrared thermal imaging camera 203 and the visible light camera 204. In the initial state, the infrared thermal imaging camera 203, the visible light camera 204, and the sound outlet 206 are hidden inside the outer casing 201, facing vertically downwards, providing a protective effect. When operation begins, the two first motors 210 drive the body 202 to rotate, causing the infrared thermal imaging camera 203, the visible light camera 204, and the sound outlet 206 to emerge from the viewing window 209 of the outer casing 201.

[0045] Based on the seventh embodiment, this utility model provides an eighth embodiment of a fire monitoring device deployed by a drone. The outer cover 201 includes an upper cover 212 and a lower cover 213. The lower cover 213 is fixed in the mounting groove 103. The lower end of the inner wall of the upper cover 212 has an annular protrusion 214, and the upper end of the outer wall of the lower cover 213 has an annular groove 215 that mates with the annular protrusion 214. A gap is left between the annular protrusion 214 and the annular groove 215 to facilitate relative rotation between the upper cover 212 and the lower cover 213. Through the engagement of the annular protrusion 214 and the annular groove 215, the upper cover 212 and the lower cover 213 can be interlocked and cannot be disengaged, but can rotate relative to each other. A second motor 216 is fixed on the inner wall of the upper cover 212, and the output shaft 217 of the second motor 216 is fixed to the inner bottom surface of the lower cover 213. Since the output shaft 217 of the second motor 216 is fixed to the inner bottom surface of the lower cover 213, when the second motor 216 is started, it drives the body of the second motor 216 to rotate, which in turn drives the upper cover 212 to rotate, and then drives the body 202 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the infrared thermal imaging camera 203 and the visible light camera 204, adjusting the shooting angle, covering more fire area, and reducing monitoring blind spots.

[0046] Based on any one of the fifth to eighth embodiments, this utility model provides a ninth embodiment of a fire monitoring device deployed by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Both the body 202 and the outer casing 201 are made of 310S stainless steel. 310S stainless steel is heat-resistant, has high hardness, and is not easily deformed by external impact. Both the body 202 and the outer casing 201 have heat insulation layers inside. The heat insulation layer can be made of a double layer of aluminum silicate fiber felt and aerogel felt, but is not limited to this. Post-disaster fire temperatures may rise abnormally; the heat insulation layer can insulate against external high temperatures and protect the stable operation of internal electronic components.

[0047] Based on any one of the fifth to ninth embodiments, this utility model provides a tenth embodiment of a fire monitoring device deployed by a drone. The body 202 is provided with a heat insulation module 5, which contains a circuit board and a high-temperature resistant battery for powering various electrical components. The material of the heat insulation module 5 can be paraffin / expanded graphite composite phase change material, but is not limited to this, and can protect the circuit board and the high-temperature resistant battery in a high-temperature environment.

[0048] The motor, breathing valve, piezoelectric buzzer, LED module, infrared thermal imaging camera, and visible light camera in this utility model are all existing technologies, which are already clearly understood by those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.
