Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical vehicle technology, specifically to a drone-assisted medical vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of medical emergency rescue, drone-assisted mobile medical vehicles, as an integrated emergency medical equipment system that combines ground mobile medical units with drone swarm technology, play a crucial role. Its core mechanism lies in air-ground collaboration, achieving multiple functions such as emergency medical resource delivery, on-site diagnosis and treatment, and remote medical support through efficient integration.
[0003] The ground-based mobile medical unit is equipped with various basic and advanced medical equipment, including emergency medical devices, testing instruments, and drug storage units. It can serve as a mobile treatment point to complete on-site treatment and initial care for the injured and sick. Meanwhile, the medical vehicle's drone control system can precisely dispatch multiple drones with different functions. For example, payload drones are used for delivering medicines and equipment, inspection drones are responsible for surveying road conditions and searching for the injured, and drones equipped with medical monitoring modules conduct remote vital sign monitoring. These drones work collaboratively and complement each other.
[0004] However, current drone-based collaborative medical vehicles exhibit a significant problem in practical applications—the inconvenience of charging and extending the drones' range. Limited by battery capacity, drones have short flight ranges, often requiring frequent charging or battery replacements during missions. Manual charging by staff is not only inefficient but also prone to damaging the drone's charging port or internal circuitry due to improper operation. In multi-drone collaborative operations, the time spent on manual charging severely slows down the overall mission progress, making it difficult to meet the stringent time requirements of emergency rescue scenarios. Therefore, we propose a drone-based collaborative medical vehicle. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention provides a drone-assisted medical vehicle that solves the problem of time-consuming and labor-intensive manual charging.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, an embodiment of this utility model provides a drone collaborative medical vehicle, including a medical vehicle body, a carriage body at one end of the medical vehicle body, a carriage roof above the carriage body, a drone body on the upper surface of the carriage roof, a power storage box fixedly installed on the lower surface of the drone body, a power storage battery inside the power storage box, and a drone slot on the upper surface of the carriage roof, with a rapid positioning device inside the drone slot;
[0007] The rapid positioning device includes an annular airbag, which is disposed inside the drone trough. A positioning groove is formed on the outer surface of the energy storage box. A semi-circular positioning plate is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the annular airbag. A main air passage is formed on the lower surface of the vehicle roof. An air supply pipe is provided at the lower end of the main air passage. An air pump is fixedly installed at the end of the air supply pipe away from the main air passage. A charging device is provided on the surface of the vehicle roof.
[0008] The above technical solution enables drones to be quickly positioned and automatically charged on the top of medical vehicles, solving the problems of low efficiency and easy damage to equipment caused by traditional manual charging. It improves the continuity of drone collaborative operations and the speed of emergency response, meeting the high-efficiency needs of medical emergency rescue scenarios.
[0009] Furthermore, the energy storage box is located inside the annular airbag, and the semi-circular positioning plate is located inside the positioning groove, and the semi-circular positioning plate is adapted to the positioning groove.
[0010] The above technical solution utilizes the precise fit between the semi-circular positioning plate and the positioning groove to achieve horizontal positioning of the energy storage box (i.e., the drone) when the annular airbag is inflated, preventing the drone from shifting due to shaking during charging and ensuring the stability of the charging docking.
[0011] Furthermore, the interior of the vehicle roof is provided with branch air ducts, the two ends of which are connected to the main air duct and the annular airbag, respectively.
[0012] The above technical solution constructs an airflow transmission branch between the main airway and the annular airbag, enabling the gas generated by the air pump to be diverted from the main airway to the branch airway and finally enter the annular airbag, thereby achieving inflation control of the annular airbag and providing power support for the positioning device.
[0013] Furthermore, the outer surface of the annular airbag is fixedly connected to the roof of the vehicle, and the air supply pipe is connected to the main air passage.
[0014] The above technical solution not only fixes the annular airbag in the drone slot on the roof of the vehicle to prevent it from shifting during inflation, but also ensures that the gas delivered by the air supply pipe can smoothly enter the main air duct, providing a stable airflow for the pneumatic components of the positioning device and the charging device.
[0015] Furthermore, a support base is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the air pump, and the support base is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the vehicle roof.
[0016] The above technical solution securely fixes the air pump to the lower surface of the carriage roof using a support base, preventing displacement or noise caused by vibration during operation, ensuring stable operation of the air pump, and guaranteeing the continuity of airflow output and pressure stability.
[0017] Furthermore, the charging device includes a telescopic air pipe, which is located at the lower end of the main air passage. A charging contact is fixedly installed at the upper end of the telescopic air pipe. A charging hole is opened at the lower end of the energy storage box. A wire is fixedly connected to the lower end of the charging contact. A power supply is fixedly installed at the end of the wire away from the charging contact.
[0018] The above technical solution utilizes the pneumatic extension and retraction characteristics of the telescopic air tube to drive the charging contact head to rise and insert into the charging port of the battery storage box during inflation. This, combined with the power transmitter and wires, enables power transmission and completes the automatic charging of the drone's battery without human intervention.
[0019] Furthermore, the telescopic air pipe is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the roof of the carriage, and the telescopic air pipe is connected to the main air duct. A control panel is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the power supply unit.
[0020] The above technical solution connects the telescopic air tube to the main airway, enabling synchronous pneumatic control with the annular airbag (simultaneously driving positioning and charging docking during inflation); at the same time, the control panel can conveniently control the start and stop of the power supply and the working status of the air pump, realizing automated operation of the positioning and charging process.
[0021] Furthermore, the power supply is fixedly installed at the lower end of the roof of the carriage, and the end of the wire away from the electrical contact head passes through the interior of the main air duct and through the roof of the carriage, and the wire is electrically connected to the power supply and the charging contact head.
[0022] The above technical solution hides the wires inside the main air duct, preventing them from being exposed to the outside environment and damaged. At the same time, it ensures that the power transmitter, wires, and charging contacts form a complete conductive circuit, guaranteeing stable power transmission to the drone's battery and improving the safety and reliability of the charging process.
[0023] The above-described solution of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0024] 1. This utility model, by setting up a rapid positioning device, utilizes the cooperation of a ring-shaped airbag, a semi-circular positioning plate, and a positioning groove, combined with an airflow transmission structure driven by an air pump, to achieve automated and precise positioning of the drone after landing. It can quickly limit the horizontal displacement of the drone without manual intervention, ensuring its stability during charging and preventing poor charging contact or equipment damage due to shaking. This significantly improves positioning efficiency and stability, making it particularly suitable for time-sensitive scenarios in emergency rescue.
[0025] 2. This utility model, through the linkage structure of the charging device and the rapid positioning device, simultaneously supplies air to the annular airbag and the telescopic air tube via the main air duct, enabling the positioning action and the docking action of the charging contact head to be performed synchronously. Combined with the power transmission circuit formed by the power transmitter and wires, it achieves fully automatic charging of the drone, completely solving the problems of low efficiency and cumbersome operation of traditional manual charging, reducing waiting time during multi-drone collaborative operations, ensuring the drone's continuous operational capability in emergency rescue, and improving the overall emergency response speed of the medical vehicle.

[0035] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a drone-assisted medical vehicle, including a medical vehicle body 1, a carriage body 11 at one end of the medical vehicle body 1, a carriage roof 12 above the carriage body 11, a drone body 2 on the upper surface of the carriage roof 12, a power storage box 21 fixedly installed on the lower surface of the drone body 2, a power storage box 21 containing a battery 211, a drone slot 121 on the upper surface of the carriage roof 12, a rapid positioning device 3 inside the drone slot 121; the rapid positioning device 3 includes an annular airbag 31 inside the drone slot 121, a positioning groove 33 on the outer surface of the power storage box 21, a semi-circular positioning plate 32 fixedly installed on the inner surface of the annular airbag 31, a main air passage 35 on the lower surface of the carriage roof 12, an air supply pipe 36 at the lower end of the main air passage 35, an air pump 37 fixedly installed at the end of the air supply pipe 36 away from the main air passage 35, and a charging device 4 on the surface of the carriage roof 12. The energy storage box 21 is located inside the annular airbag 31, and the semi-circular positioning plate 32 is located inside the positioning groove 33, with the semi-circular positioning plate 32 fitting into the positioning groove 33. A branch air duct 34 is provided inside the roof 12 of the carriage, with both ends of the branch air duct 34 connected to the main air duct 35 and the annular airbag 31, respectively. The outer surface of the annular airbag 31 is fixedly connected to the roof 12 of the carriage, and the air supply pipe 36 is connected to the main air duct 35. A support base 371 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the air pump 37, and the support base 371 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the roof 12 of the carriage.
[0037] In this embodiment of the invention, when the drone body 2 returns from a mission and needs to recharge, it can land in the drone slot 121 on the roof of the vehicle 12. At this time, the air pump 37 starts, delivering gas to the main air duct 35 through the air supply pipe 36. The gas enters the annular airbag 31 through the branch air duct 34, causing the annular airbag 31 to inflate. As the annular airbag 31 inflates, its inner semi-circular positioning plate 32 gradually approaches the energy storage box 21 and is precisely embedded in the positioning groove 33 on the outer surface of the energy storage box 21. Since the semi-circular positioning plate 32 is adapted to the positioning groove 33, it can effectively limit the horizontal displacement of the energy storage box 21 (i.e., the drone body 2), realizing the rapid and accurate positioning of the drone. At the same time, the support base 371 firmly fixes the air pump 37 to the lower surface of the roof of the vehicle 12, avoiding the vibration of the air pump 37 during operation from affecting the stability of the equipment, ensuring that the positioning process is efficient and reliable, and laying the foundation for subsequent automatic charging.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the charging device 4 includes a telescopic air pipe 41, which is located at the lower end of the main air duct 35. A charging contact head 42 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the telescopic air pipe 41. A charging hole 411 is opened at the lower end of the energy storage box 21. A wire 421 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the charging contact head 42. A power supply 43 is fixedly installed at the end of the wire 421 away from the charging contact head 42. The telescopic air pipe 41 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the car roof 12 and is connected to the main air duct 35. A control panel 431 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the power supply 43. The power supply 43 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the car roof 12. The end of the wire 421 away from the power contact head passes through the interior of the main air duct 35 and through the car roof 12. The wire 421 is electrically connected to the power supply 43 and the charging contact head 42.
[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, the charging device 4 and the rapid positioning device 3 are linked through the main air duct 35. When the main air duct 35 delivers gas, some of the gas enters the telescopic air tube 41, causing the telescopic air tube 41 to inflate and extend, driving the charging contact head 42 at the upper end to move upward until it is inserted into the charging hole 411 at the lower end of the energy storage box 21. At this time, the power transmitter 43 transmits power to the charging contact head 42 through the wire 421, and then charges the storage battery 211 in the energy storage box 21 through the charging hole 411. The wire 421 is routed inside the main air duct 35, avoiding exposure and damage to the wiring and ensuring the safety of power transmission. The operator can conveniently control the start and stop of the charging process and the working status of the air pump 37 through the control panel 431 on the lower surface of the power transmitter 43, realizing automated collaborative operation of positioning and charging, greatly improving the efficiency and convenience of drone charging, and meeting the needs of continuous drone operation in medical emergency rescue.
[0040] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
