Detailed Implementation

[0027] The principles and features of this utility model are described below. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a special vehicle equipped with a drone, including a carrier vehicle 1, which is equipped with a power supply system 11, a video monitoring system 12, a communication system 13, a drone device 21, and a ground station device 30.

[0029] For vehicle 1, an off-road vehicle with good maneuverability should be selected. It can be a fuel-powered or electric off-road vehicle. In order to improve range and maneuverability, a fuel-powered off-road vehicle should be given priority.

[0030] The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) device 21 includes the UAV body, which is equipped with a camera device, a directional broadcasting device, an environmental monitoring device, and a tracking and positioning device. For example, the environmental monitoring device may be equipped with temperature and humidity sensors, and the UAV device 21 can acquire video image information, meteorological environmental information such as temperature and humidity, and location information of the target site. The directional broadcasting device mounted on the UAV device 21 can realize directional broadcasting to the target site.

[0031] The video surveillance system 12 is used to monitor the working environment inside and outside the special vehicle, such as the operating conditions of the equipment involved in the vehicle 1, power supply system 11, communication system 12, UAV equipment 21 and ground station equipment 30, as well as the operation actions of the personnel.

[0032] Among them, the power supply system 11, video surveillance system 12, UAV equipment 21 and ground station equipment 30 are all connected to the communication system 13 to form an in-vehicle local area network. The communication system 13 enables data interaction between the in-vehicle local area network and the external network. That is, data interaction between the remote command center and the target site can be realized through the communication system 13.

[0033] This invention complements the advantages of the vehicle 1 in terms of range and off-road mobility with the aerial advantages of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) 21. The vehicle 1's mobility and range allow it to quickly reach the vicinity of the target location. Once there, the UAV 21 quickly takes off from the vehicle 1 and performs on-site monitoring and intelligence gathering from the air using its camera, directional broadcasting, environmental monitoring, and tracking / positioning devices. It can transmit on-site location information, environmental data, and images to the command center via ground station equipment 30 and communication system 13, providing support for rapid response and handling of emergencies.

[0034] In order to facilitate the installation of the aforementioned power supply system 11, video surveillance system 12, communication system 13, UAV equipment 21 and ground station equipment 30 on the vehicle 1, the vehicle 1 is equipped with a carriage 10, and the power supply system 11, video surveillance system 12, communication system 13, UAV equipment 21 and ground station equipment 30 are integrated and installed inside and outside the carriage 10.

[0035] In one embodiment, the carriage 10 and the carrier 1 can be a separate structure, that is, the carriage 10 can be completely detached from the carrier 1. When the carrier 1 fails, the carriage integrating the aforementioned power supply system 11, video monitoring system 12, communication system 13, UAV equipment 21 and ground station equipment 30 can be quickly hoisted onto the spare carrier 1 by hoisting equipment.

[0036] Specifically, refer to Figures 2 to 4 The interior of the carriage 10 is divided into a platform compartment 2 and a work compartment 3. The platform compartment 2 is used to house the drone equipment 21. A lifting platform 20 is installed in the platform compartment 2, and the drone equipment 21 is placed on the lifting platform 20. A top cover 100 is installed on the top of the carriage 10, which can be opened and closed, and is located above the lifting platform 20. Before the drone equipment 21 takes off, the top cover 100 is opened, and then the lifting platform 20 carries the drone equipment 21 to the top of the carriage 10, and then the drone equipment 21 is launched. After the drone equipment 21 performs any task, it returns and lands on the lifting platform 20. After the lifting platform 20 descends into the interior of the carriage 10, the top cover 100 is closed.

[0037] Among them, the drone equipment 21 can also land on the ground when returning and be returned to the lifting platform 20 by the operator.

[0038] As for the top cover 100, it is easy to understand that the top cover 100 can be made into a sliding cover structure, that is, the top cover 100 can be horizontally slidably set on the top of the carriage 10. Under the drive of the corresponding drive structure, the top cover 100 can be opened and closed by sliding horizontally.

[0039] In one embodiment, the top cover 100 may also be hinged to the top of the carriage 10 on one side, and the opening and closing of the top cover 100 can be achieved by retracting the movable end of the top cover 100 through an electric / pneumatic telescopic rod.

[0040] The lifting platform 20 can be a lifting platform driven by an electric cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, or hydraulic cylinder through up-and-down extension and retraction, such as a scissor lift platform or a ball screw lift platform.

[0041] The opening and closing of the top cover 100 and the lifting of the lifting platform 20 can both be controlled by the operation of the ground station equipment 30.

[0042] Reference Figures 2 to 4 The ground station equipment 30 is located inside the work cabin 3. It is easy to understand that the ground station equipment 30 includes fixed ground station equipment consisting of a host and a display. Sometimes, in order to improve operational flexibility, the ground station equipment 30 can also be a mobile device, such as a laptop computer with control system software, which is connected to the local area network via wired or wireless means.

[0043] By dividing the carriage 10 into platform compartment 2 and work compartment 3, and installing corresponding work equipment in the corresponding compartments, the internal area of ​​the carriage 10 is clearly divided into functional areas, which facilitates on-site operations and maintenance by the operators.

[0044] The power supply system 11 can be powered by a storage battery and charged through a charging interface, which can be connected to mains power or a small generator.

[0045] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figures 2 to 6 The power supply system 11 may also include a fuel generator set, the fuel medium of which may be gasoline or diesel. A dedicated fuel engine compartment 4 for housing the fuel generator set is provided inside the carriage 10. A fuel engine radiator 40 communicating with the fuel engine compartment 4 is provided on the top of the carriage 10. The work compartment 3 and the platform compartment 2 are isolated from the fuel engine compartment 4, so that the noise generated by the fuel generator set during operation does not easily interfere with the use of the work compartment 3 and the platform compartment 2. At the same time, the exhaust gas generated by the fuel generator set can also be discharged from the top of the carriage 10 through the corresponding exhaust pipe.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 The engine compartment 4 is detachably installed on the side wall of the carriage 10, which facilitates the maintenance of the compartment.

[0047] Regarding the positions of platform compartment 2 and work compartment 3 on carriage 10, in one embodiment, work compartment 3 is closer to the front side of vehicle 1, while platform compartment 2 is closer to the rear side of vehicle 1, referring to... Figure 5 The rear of the carriage 10 is provided with a double-door 102 that communicates with the platform compartment 2; while the door of the working compartment 3 is provided on the side of the carriage 10.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 When the top cover 100 of the platform compartment 2 is opened, the top cover 100 slides at least partially above the working compartment 3, making the exposed area of ​​the top of the platform compartment 2 larger, which facilitates the lifting and lowering of the lifting platform 20; at the same time, the top cover 100 makes reasonable use of the top space of the carriage 10, which facilitates the miniaturization of the platform compartment 2.

[0049] Reference Figure 4 In one embodiment, the lifting platform 20 is also provided with a bracket 22 to support the drone equipment 21. When the drone is not in use, it can be fixed and protected by the bracket 22. The bracket 22 is detachably installed on the lifting platform 20 by means of a wing nut, and the contact part between the bracket 22 and the drone equipment 21 is provided with a rubber pad for isolation and shock absorption.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6For example, a gimbal camera 101 is installed on the top of the carriage 10. The gimbal camera 101 is part of the video monitoring system 12. A display 300 connected to the video monitoring system 12 is installed in the ground station equipment 30 in the work cabin 3. The gimbal camera 101 can monitor the take-off and landing of the drone. The operators can watch the take-off and landing process of the drone equipment 12 on the display 300 in the work cabin 3.

[0051] Reference Figure 7 The communication system 13 includes a switch, a network switcher, a router, and an antenna 130 connected in sequence on the top of the carriage 10. The switch is connected to the ground station equipment 30, and the antenna 130 is located on the top of the carriage 10.

Both routers are connected to the switch via a network switcher. When the ground station equipment 30 receives the target site information collected by the UAV equipment 21, it prioritizes the LTE communication mode and transmits it to the command center via the LTE router. When there is no LTE network in the target site area, it selects the 3G communication mode and transmits the collected information to the command center via the 3G router. Commands from the command center are also transmitted to the ground station equipment 30 through the corresponding links.

[0053] Reference Figure 5 In one embodiment, an air conditioning system 105 is also provided in the carriage 10. The air conditioning system 105 includes an outdoor unit installed on the top of the carriage 10 and a corresponding indoor unit installed in the work cabin 3, thereby improving the environmental comfort of the work cabin 3.
