[0020] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, where Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the transport vehicle for firefighting drones. Figure 2 This is a diagram showing the installation location of skirt box 6. Figure 3 This is a front view of the transport vehicle for the firefighting drone. Figure 4 This is a rear view of the transport vehicle for the firefighting drone. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the unfolded cargo compartment of a fire-fighting drone transport vehicle. This utility model provides a fire-fighting drone transport vehicle: including a chassis 1, a cabin 2, and auxiliary mechanisms. The auxiliary mechanisms include a subframe 3, a skirt box 6, a cabin roof guardrail 8, a rear ladder 11, a lifting antenna 12, and lighting devices. The lighting devices include a reclining searchlight 9 and side field lights 10. This solution solves the problem of insufficient power supply for existing drone transport devices during drone operation. It is understood that the aforementioned solution can more easily guarantee the power supply for drones during operation.
[0022] In this embodiment, a cabin 2 is installed on the chassis 1, and an inspection drone 4 and a fire-fighting drone 5 are placed inside the cabin 2. The chassis 1 is a modified Class II chassis of the Sinotruk ZZ5206N471GF5, with a fully enclosed cabin structure and strong environmental adaptability.
[0023] The subframe 3 is located on one side of the cabin 2, the skirt box 6 is located on the chassis 1, and an 8KW generator and a 5KW generator are arranged inside the skirt box 6. The cabin roof guardrail 8 is detached and installed on the top of the cabin 2. The rear ladder 11 is located on the rear side of the chassis 1. The lifting antenna 12 is located on the rear side of the cabin 2. The lighting device is located on the top and side of the cabin 2. The subframe 3 is integrally welded from Q345 material, providing strong load-bearing capacity and high stability. The skirt box 6 uses a steel frame structure with aluminum alloy checkered plates bonded inside. The skirt box 6 can accommodate an 8KW generator, a 5KW generator, fire extinguishing bombs, and vehicle accessories. The generator can be used for power generation and auxiliary charging of the drone. A roof guardrail 8 is installed on the top of the vehicle's cabin 2. The roof guardrail 8 is a ring-shaped protective structure, ensuring safety for personnel boarding the vehicle. The roof guardrail 8 is made of stainless steel and houses the wiring for the side field lights 10. A rear ladder 11 is installed on the right side of the rear of the vehicle, providing auxiliary access to the roof for maintenance personnel. An electric / manual integrated lifting antenna 12 is installed on the left side of the rear of the vehicle. With the matching antenna and WIFI module, it enables drone signal reception and transmission after being raised. The lighting device is used to create lighting structures on the rear and sides of the transport vehicle. The cabin 2 is divided into three areas by front and rear partitions. The front part houses the pull-out platform of the inspection drone 4, the middle part houses the support platform of the hydraulic mechanism and the fire-fighting drone 5, fire extinguishing bombs, etc., and the rear part houses the battery rack and the operating table.
[0024] Secondly, the inspection drone 4 is placed on a pull-out platform, which can hold two drones to meet fire reconnaissance needs. Cushioning EVA foam is attached to both sides of the platform, allowing the inspection drone 4 to be embedded within it and secured with straps. This allows for easy pulling and placing of the drone 4, while also providing good protection during transport. Simultaneously, ten firefighting drones 5 are evenly distributed inside the vehicle via a hydraulically supported platform in two layers. Fire extinguishing bombs are placed in the space beneath each drone 5, accommodating a total of 20 square fire extinguishing bombs. In use, after opening the vehicle door, the hydraulic mechanism can move from the side door to the outside of the vehicle and land on the ground, facilitating the retrieval of the firefighting drones 5 and the fire extinguishing bombs.
[0025] Then, a battery rack is arranged in the rear control room of the cabin 2, which can hold 40 batteries of the fire-fighting drone 5 and 8 batteries of the inspection drone 4. By optimizing the layout of the rear operating space of the cabin 2, the batteries of the fire-fighting drone 5 and the inspection drone 4 can be centrally stored.
[0026] Furthermore, the cabin 2 is also equipped with a television port 7, which is located at the rear of the cabin 2. By placing the television port 7 at the rear of the vehicle, the drone's video monitoring function can be realized after the television door is opened.
[0027] Finally, the inverted spotlight 9 is installed at the rear of the cabin 2; the side field lights 10 are installed on the left and right sides of the cabin 2. The inverted spotlight 9 is arranged at the rear of the vehicle, and the housing of the inverted spotlight 9 is fixed with bolts. After installation, it can achieve 360° strong light illumination at the rear of the vehicle. At the same time, two side field lights 10 are distributed on the top of the left and right sides of the vehicle to facilitate the function of vehicle exterior lighting in the field.
[0028] When using this utility model to solve the problem of insufficient power supply for existing drone transport devices during drone operation, a transport vehicle structure is first formed by the chassis 1, the cabin 2, and the subframe 3. The inspection drone 4 and the firefighting drone 5 are placed inside the cabin 2, thus facilitating drone transport. Furthermore, an 8KW generator and a 5KW generator are installed inside the skirt box 6, enabling power supply during operation. An electric / manual integrated lifting antenna 12 is installed on the left rear of the vehicle, which can be raised for operation. The vehicle features a drone signal receiving and transmission function. A roof railing 8 is installed on the top of the vehicle's cabin 2 to ensure safety for personnel boarding. A spotlight 9 is installed at the rear of the vehicle, providing 360° strong light illumination. Two side field lights 10 are distributed on the left and right sides of the vehicle for outdoor lighting. A television port 7 is located at the rear of the vehicle; opening the television door allows for drone video monitoring. This addresses the problem of insufficient power supply for existing drone transport devices during drone operation.
[0029] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
