[0002] Fire safety for resources such as forests, gas pipelines, and power transmission lines is of great importance to public safety and social development. With the advancement of technology, fire inspections of these resources are no longer carried out manually, but are instead performed by mechanical equipment such as drones and robots, greatly reducing the safety risks for inspection personnel.
[0003] Currently, existing technologies primarily rely on inspection equipment to detect fire sources in designated areas. When a fire source is detected, an automatic alarm is triggered, notifying firefighters to initiate firefighting operations. While this technology automates fire source detection, firefighting operations still rely on manual labor, resulting in low firefighting efficiency. Furthermore, in harsh environments such as virgin forests, firefighters and firefighting equipment often struggle to reach optimal firefighting positions for effective fire suppression.

[0026] Example 1
[0027] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an integrated autonomous patrol and fire suppression system for drones provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model. This embodiment is applicable to drone fire source inspection and drone firefighting scenarios. The integrated autonomous patrol and fire suppression system for drones can be implemented by software and / or hardware.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the UAV autonomous patrol and firefighting integrated system 1000 includes a control and processing center 1100 and an autonomous patrol and firefighting system 1200. The control and processing center 1100 and the autonomous patrol and firefighting system 1200 are communicatively connected. The autonomous patrol and firefighting system 1200 includes an autonomous patrol system 1210 and an autonomous firefighting system 1220.
[0029] The autonomous patrol system 1210 includes a patrol hangar 1211 and a first drone 1212. The patrol hangar 1211 is used to park the first drone 1212, and the first drone 1212 performs patrol operations.
[0030] The autonomous fire suppression system 1220 includes a fire suppression hangar 1221 and a second unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) 1222. The fire suppression hangar 1221 is used to park the second UAV 1222, and the fire suppression hangar 1221 is equipped with a fire suppression bomb filling device for the second UAV 1222 to carry fire suppression bombs. The second UAV 1222 performs fire suppression operations. The autonomous patrol system 1210 is integrated with the autonomous fire suppression system 1220. The patrol hangar 1211 is spaced apart from the fire suppression hangar 1221, or the patrol hangar 1211 is embedded in the fire suppression hangar 1221, or the patrol hangar 1211 is stacked on the fire suppression hangar 1221.
[0031] In this solution, the autonomous drone patrol and fire suppression integrated system 1000 includes a control and processing center 1100 and an autonomous patrol and fire suppression system 1200. The control and processing center 1100 is a control service platform used to coordinate the operation of the autonomous patrol system 1210 and the autonomous fire suppression system 1220. It can be a cloud service or a local service deployed in the target area. The control and processing center 1100 can communicate with the autonomous patrol and fire suppression system 1200 via wireless connection methods such as WIFI, Bluetooth, mobile communication, or satellite communication. The autonomous patrol and fire suppression system 1200 can include the autonomous patrol system 1210 and the autonomous fire suppression system 1220. The autonomous patrol system 1210 includes a patrol hangar 1211 and a first drone 1212. The patrol hangar 1211 can provide docking space for the first drone 1212 when it is not in operation, and can also provide services for replacing components such as pods and batteries for the first drone 1212. The first drone 1212 can perform patrol operations to inspect for fire sources in the target area. The autonomous fire suppression system 1220 includes a fire suppression hangar 1221 and a second unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) 1222. The fire suppression hangar 1221 provides docking space for the non-operating second UAV 1222 and also provides services for replacing components such as pods and batteries for the second UAV 1222. The second UAV 1222 can perform fire suppression operations on the target area and can be a vertical take-off and landing compound-wing UAV.
[0032] The autonomous patrol system 1210 and the autonomous fire extinguishing system 1220 can be integrated into one unit. The patrol hangar 1211 and the fire extinguishing hangar 1221 can be set at intervals. The patrol hangar 1211 can also be embedded in the fire extinguishing hangar 1221. The patrol hangar 1211 can also be stacked on the fire extinguishing hangar 1221. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the embedded installation of the patrol hangar and the fire-fighting hangar. Since the first drone 1212 and the second drone 1222 have different uses, the volume of the first drone 1212 can be smaller than the volume of the second drone 1222. Similarly, the volume of the patrol hangar 1211 can be smaller than the fire-fighting hangar 1221. Therefore, the patrol hangar 1211 can be installed as follows: Figure 2It is embedded in the fire extinguishing machine bay 1221 as shown. Figure 3 This is a structural diagram showing the stacked arrangement of the patrol hangar and the fire-fighting hangar. To save space in the direction parallel to the ground, the patrol hangar 1211 can be arranged as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it is stacked with fire extinguishing hangar 1221.
[0033] The patrol hangar 1211 and fire-fighting hangar 1221 can communicate with the control and processing center 1100 via wireless connections such as WIFI, Bluetooth, mobile communication, or satellite communication. The first drone 1212 can communicate with the patrol hangar 1211 via wireless or wired connections, and the second drone 1222 can communicate with the fire-fighting hangar 1221 via wireless or wired connections. After the patrol mission begins, the control and processing center 1100 can send patrol commands to the patrol hangar 1211. The patrol commands can be used to instruct the patrol hangar 1211 to open, launch the first drone 1212, and control the first drone 1212 to patrol the target area. The patrol commands can include patrol parameters such as the target area identifier, the geographical range of the target area, the patrol route, the patrol frequency, the image acquisition frequency, the flight speed, and the patrol time.
[0034] The inspection hangar 1211 can receive inspection commands sent by the control and processing center 1100 and send the inspection commands to the first UAV 1212. The first UAV 1212 can execute the inspection commands, inspect the target area according to the inspection parameters, and obtain the inspection results. The inspection results can be images of the target area collected by the first UAV 1212, or fire source detection results determined by the first UAV 1212 based on the target area images, such as the presence of a fire source in the target area, the location of the fire source, and the size of the fire.
[0035] The first UAV 1212 can directly establish a communication connection with the control and processing center 1100 via wireless connection methods such as WIFI, Bluetooth, mobile communication, or satellite communication, and send the patrol results to the control and processing center 1100. Alternatively, the patrol results can be sent to the patrol hangar 1211, which will then forward the patrol results to the control and processing center 1100. Based on the patrol results, the control and processing center 1100 can generate a first command and a second command, and send the first command to the patrol hangar 1211 and the second command to the second UAV 1222.
[0036] The first command can instruct the fire extinguishing hangar 1221 to control the fire extinguishing grenade filling device to transport the target fire extinguishing grenade to a preset location. This command may include information such as the type and quantity of fire extinguishing grenade required for the second drone 1222 to perform the firefighting operation, as well as information such as the timing for the second drone 1222 to load the fire extinguishing grenade, the timing for unlocking the fire extinguishing grenade, and the timing for the second drone 1222 to perform the firefighting operation. The fire extinguishing hangar 1221, upon executing the first command, can control the fire extinguishing grenade filling device to transport the target fire extinguishing grenade to the preset location. The second command instructs the second drone 1222 to load the target fire extinguishing grenade at the preset location, reach the fire extinguishing position, and project the target fire extinguishing grenade towards the fire source. This command may include information such as the timing for loading the fire extinguishing grenade, the start time of the firefighting operation, the fire extinguishing position, the geographical location of the fire source, and the timing for projecting the fire extinguishing grenade. The second drone 1222, upon executing the second command, can load the target fire extinguishing grenade at the preset location, reach the fire extinguishing position, and project the target fire extinguishing grenade towards the fire source.
[0037] In this solution, the patrol hangar 1211 is provided with a first compartment, and the fire-fighting hangar 1221 is provided with a second compartment. The first compartment is used to park the first drone 1212, and the second compartment is used to park the second drone 1222.
[0038] In this design, the first compartment provides docking space for the first UAV 1212 when it is not in operation, and also provides services such as replacing pods and batteries for the first UAV 1212. The second compartment provides docking space for the second UAV 1222 when it is not in operation, and also provides services such as mounting fire extinguishing bombs and replacing batteries for the second UAV 1222. The first compartment can communicate with the first UAV 1212, and the second compartment can communicate with the second UAV 1222.
[0039] After the inspection mission begins, the control and processing center 1100 can send inspection commands to the first compartment. The inspection commands can be used to instruct the first compartment to open, launch the first UAV 1212, and control the first UAV 1212 to inspect the target area. The commands can include inspection parameter information such as the target area identifier, the geographical range of the target area, the inspection route, the inspection frequency, the image acquisition frequency, the flight speed, and the inspection time.
[0040] The first compartment can receive patrol instructions from the control and processing center 1100 and forward them to the first UAV 1212. The first UAV 1212 executes the patrol instructions, inspects the target area according to the inspection parameters, and obtains the patrol results. These results can be images of the target area collected by the first UAV 1212, or fire source detection results determined by the first UAV 1212 based on the target area images, such as the presence, location, and size of a fire source within the target area.
[0041] The first UAV 1212 can directly establish a communication connection with the control and processing center 1100 via wireless connection methods such as WIFI, Bluetooth, mobile communication, or satellite communication, and send the patrol results to the control and processing center 1100. Alternatively, it can send the patrol results to the first compartment, which will then forward the patrol results to the control and processing center 1100. Based on the patrol results, the control and processing center 1100 can generate a first command and a second command, and send the first command to the second compartment and the second command to the second UAV 1222.
[0042] If the inspection result is an image of the target area collected by the first UAV 1212, the control and processing center 1100 can perform fire source detection on the target area image based on the pre-trained fire source detection model, determine the fire source detection result of the target area, and generate the first command and the second command based on the fire source detection result.
[0043] The control and processing center 1100 can determine whether a fire source exists within a target area based on the fire source detection results. The fire source detection results may include information such as the fire source distribution area, the area of the fire source distribution area, the number of fire source distribution areas, and the confidence level of the fire source distribution area. The confidence level of the fire source distribution area indicates the degree of certainty that a fire source exists within that area. The control and processing center can determine whether a fire source exists within the target area based on the presence of a fire source distribution area in the fire source detection results, whether the number of fire source distribution areas is 0, or whether the confidence level of the fire source distribution area is greater than a preset threshold.
[0044] The first command can be used to instruct the second compartment to control the fire extinguishing grenade filling device to transport the target fire extinguishing grenade to a preset location. This command may include information such as the type and quantity of fire extinguishing grenade required for the second UAV 1222 to perform this firefighting operation, and may also include information such as the timing for the second UAV 1222 to load the fire extinguishing grenade, the timing for unlocking the fire extinguishing grenade, and the timing for instructing the second UAV 1222 to perform the firefighting operation. The second compartment, executing the first command, can control the fire extinguishing grenade filling device to transport the target fire extinguishing grenade to the preset location. The second command is used to instruct the second UAV 1222 to load the target fire extinguishing grenade at the preset location, reach the fire extinguishing position, and project the target fire extinguishing grenade towards the fire source. This command may include information such as the timing for loading the fire extinguishing grenade, the timing for starting the firefighting operation, the fire extinguishing position, the geographical location of the fire source, and the timing for projecting the fire extinguishing grenade. The second UAV 1222, executing the second command, can load the target fire extinguishing grenade at the preset location, reach the fire extinguishing position, and project the target fire extinguishing grenade towards the fire source.
[0045] This solution achieves full automation of the process from fire source inspection to firefighting operations by having the control and processing center work collaboratively with inspection drones and firefighting drones in their respective cabins. It can quickly locate fire sources and improve the efficiency of firefighting operations.
[0046] In this scheme, a lifting device is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first cabin, and a first take-off and landing platform is connected to the top of the lifting device. The first UAV 1212 is parked on the first take-off and landing platform, and the lifting device is used to raise or lower the first take-off and landing platform.
[0047] A lifting device is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first compartment. A first take-off and landing platform is connected to the top of the lifting device. When not in operation, the first UAV 1212 can be parked on the first take-off and landing platform. During take-off, the lifting device can raise the first take-off and landing platform to assist the UAV 1212 in takeoff. During landing, the lifting device can descend to the first take-off and landing platform at the same speed as the UAV 1212, achieving a soft landing and reducing friction between the UAV 1212 and the first take-off and landing platform.
[0048] The lifting device installed in the first compartment of this solution can assist the first UAV in taking off and landing smoothly, thereby improving the safety of the first UAV's takeoff and landing.
[0049] Based on the above scheme, a second take-off and landing platform is fixedly connected to the opening of the second compartment, and the second take-off and landing platform is used to park the second UAV 1222.
[0050] Understandably, the second UAV 1222 can be parked on the second take-off and landing platform when not in operation. The fire extinguishing bomb filling device can be installed below the second take-off and landing platform. The fire extinguishing bomb filling device can include a rotating mechanism and a support connected to the rotating mechanism; the rotating mechanism can rotate relative to the support; multiple fire extinguishing bomb fixing devices are arranged at intervals on the outer edge of the rotating mechanism to fix the fire extinguishing bombs; the rotating mechanism drives the fire extinguishing bomb fixing devices to rotate synchronously, so as to transport the fire extinguishing bomb fixing devices with the target fire extinguishing bombs to a preset position.
[0051] Specifically, the rotating mechanism of the fire extinguishing bomb filling device can be a rotating disk, which is connected to the support via a rotating shaft. The rotating disk can be a polygonal prism, with the line connecting the center point of the base and the center point of the top surface of the prism serving as the rotating shaft. The rotating disk can rotate around the rotating shaft in a circle. A filling plate can be installed on one side of the polygonal prism, while fire extinguishing bomb fixing devices, such as fixing grippers for the fire extinguishing bomb body, can be installed on the other sides. When the second UAV 1222 is not in operation, the fire extinguishing bomb filling device can move the filling plate to a preset position, making the filling plate and the second take-off and landing platform form a plane. The fixing grippers for the fire extinguishing bomb body can move symmetrically, fixing the fire extinguishing bomb to the side of the rotating disk and moving together with the rotating disk.
[0052] The first instruction may include information such as the type and quantity of fire extinguishing bombs required for the second UAV 1222 to perform this firefighting operation, and may also include information such as instructing the second UAV 1222 on the timing of loading fire extinguishing bombs, the timing of unlocking fire extinguishing bombs, and the timing of instructing the second UAV 1222 to perform firefighting operations. After receiving the first instruction, the second compartment can determine the target fire extinguishing bomb based on the type and quantity of fire extinguishing bombs in the first instruction, and send a target fire extinguishing bomb transport instruction to the fire extinguishing bomb filling device to instruct the fire extinguishing bomb filling device to transport the target fire extinguishing bomb to a preset position. The target fire extinguishing bomb transport instruction is used to indicate the rotation direction and rotation step of the fire extinguishing bomb filling device. The rotation step is determined based on the filling status of each fire extinguishing bomb fixing device in the fire extinguishing bomb filling device. The filling status indicates whether there are fire extinguishing bombs in the fire extinguishing bomb fixing device, and the preset position can be the position of the filling plate when the fire extinguishing bomb filling device is in an inactive state.
[0053] After transporting the target fire extinguishing bomb to the preset position, the fire extinguishing bomb filling device can send a movement arrival signal to the second compartment. When the second compartment receives the movement arrival signal from the fire extinguishing bomb filling device, it can send a target fire extinguishing bomb mounting command to the second UAV 1222, instructing the second UAV 1222 to mount the target fire extinguishing bomb at the preset position.
[0054] In one feasible solution, a first camera is installed on the outer wall of the inspection hangar 1211. The first camera is used to capture the loading status of the second drone 1222 and the take-off status of the second drone 1222.
[0055] To monitor the second drone 1222, a first camera can be installed on the outer wall of the inspection hangar 1211. Specifically, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram showing the positional relationship between the first camera and the fire-fighting hangar when the patrol hangar and the fire-fighting hangar are spaced apart. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram showing the positional relationship between the first camera and the fire-fighting hangar when the camera is embedded in both the inspection hangar and the fire-fighting hangar. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram showing the positional relationship between the first camera and the fire-fighting hangar when the inspection hangar and the fire-fighting hangar are stacked.
[0056] When the second drone 1222 is loading fire extinguishing grenades, the first camera can capture a first image of the second drone 1222 or record a video of the fire extinguishing grenades being loaded. Based on the first image or video of the second drone 1222 loading the fire extinguishing grenades, it can be detected whether the second drone 1222 has successfully loaded the fire extinguishing grenades. When the second drone 1222 takes off, the first camera can capture a second image of the second drone 1222 or record a video of the takeoff. Based on the second image or video of the takeoff, it can be detected whether the second drone 1222 has successfully taken off.
[0057] This solution involves installing a first camera on the outer wall of the inspection hangar to monitor the loading and takeoff of the second drone in real time, promptly detecting any abnormalities in loading or takeoff, and ensuring the reliability of the second drone's firefighting operations.
[0058] Based on the above scheme, the first camera is installed at a height higher than the fire-fighting hangar on the outer wall of the inspection hangar 1211.
[0059] To ensure the first camera's field of view covers a larger area, its height on the outer wall of the patrol hangar can be higher than that of the fire-fighting hangar, so that the loading and takeoff processes of the second UAV 1222's fire extinguishing bombs are fully visible within the first camera's field of view. In this embodiment, the UAV autonomous patrol and fire-fighting integrated system 1000 also includes an antenna frame, which is spaced apart from the patrol hangar 1211 and the fire-fighting hangar 1221. Communication equipment is mounted on the antenna frame and is communicatively connected to the control and processing center 1100, the autonomous patrol system 1210, and the autonomous fire-fighting system 1220.
[0060] To ensure reliable communication between the control and processing center 1100, the autonomous patrol system 1210, and the autonomous fire extinguishing system 1220, the UAV autonomous patrol and fire extinguishing integrated system 1000 may also include an antenna mount for mounting communication equipment, such as radio frequency antennas and WIFI antennas, to achieve wireless communication between the control and processing center 1100, the autonomous patrol system 1210, and the autonomous fire extinguishing system 1220. To ensure the normal operation of the patrol hangar 1211 and the fire extinguishing hangar 1221, the antenna mount can maintain a preset distance from the patrol hangar and the fire extinguishing hangar to avoid interfering with the takeoff and landing of the first UAV 1212 and the second UAV 1222.
[0061] Based on the above scheme, a second camera is installed on the antenna frame, which is used to capture the takeoff status of the first UAV 1212.
[0062] To monitor the first drone 1212, a second camera can be installed on the antenna mount. When the first drone 1212 takes off, the second camera can capture a first image of the first drone 1212 or record a takeoff video. Based on the first image or takeoff video of the first drone 1212, it can be detected whether the first drone 1212 has successfully taken off.
[0063] This solution, by installing a second camera on the antenna mount, can monitor the takeoff process of the first UAV in real time, promptly detect takeoff anomalies, and ensure the reliability of the first UAV's patrol operations.
[0064] Based on the above scheme, the second camera is mounted at a height higher than the inspection hangar on the antenna mount.
[0065] To ensure that the second camera's field of view can cover a larger area, the second camera can be mounted at a height higher than the inspection hangar, so that the takeoff process of the first UAV 1212 can be fully presented within the second camera's field of view.
[0066] Optionally, the UAV autonomous patrol and firefighting integrated system 1000 also includes a fence surrounding the autonomous patrol system 1210 and the autonomous firefighting system 1220.
[0067] To ensure the safety of equipment such as drones and hangars, the drone autonomous patrol and fire suppression integrated system 1000 may also include a fence to enclose the autonomous patrol system 1210 and the autonomous fire suppression system 1220. The fence may be an electronic fence, which can automatically trigger an alarm when a person, animal, or dangerous object enters the fence's detection range, protecting the equipment within the fence.
[0068] Note that the above are merely preferred embodiments and the technical principles employed in this application. Those skilled in the art will understand that this application is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of this application.
