Description

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to extreme field medicine, veterinary science, heavier-than-air aircraft and throwing devices. The primary purpose is first aid to wounded soldiers on the battlefield or euthanization of animals.

Injections involve the introduction of a living biological object (human, animal, bird) of the appropriate pharmacological preparation (substance, suspension), including intramuscularly.

As a rule, this is done by an assistant or by the biological object itself in the order of "self-service".

Known used in veterinary medicine methods of remote sedative and therapeutic injections [1. Bullet SYRINGE or means of remote treatment and restriction of mobility. - URL: https.7/popgun.ru/viewtopic.php?t=211745].

However, living biological objects are represented not only by fauna.

Known designs of syringes and darts for remote injection [2. RU 2290129, A61D 7/00, 12/27/2007; 3. RU 99962 U1, A61D 7/00, 12/10/2010; 4. RU 129386 U1, A61D 7/00, 06/27/2017; 5.

Known "flying" syringes are certainly useful and applicable in the claimed invention. However, this is only one of the components of the proposed technical means (complex).

Deep historical roots have first aid to the wounded and other helpless soldiers on the battlefield. Civilization and progress in technology and pharmacology have enriched these procedures with appropriate medical and preventive (therapeutic) agents (drugs), methods and devices for their introduction into the human body by direct injection. The rules of the first aid situation on the battlefield are regulated, in particular in the sources [8. Bubnov V.G., Katashinsky N.V. Atlas of first aid in the context of anti-terrorist operations. - URL https://earth-chronicles.ru/Publications_7/21/Atlas_peivoy_pomoschi_v_usloviakh_provedenia_an.pdf; 9. Reference books.

However, if in veterinary medicine remote injection technologies have “taken root”, no information about their use for humans (as well as biological objects) has been found.

The closest device in terms of purpose and set of essential features to the claimed device (prototype) is a technical tool for remote therapeutic and prophylactic and sleeping injections of living biological objects (“syringe thrower”, “syringe thrower”), containing a device for throwing syringes with a pharmacological preparation for injection complete with the specified syringes [10. Syringes (injector and syringes). - URL: https://tehnofarm.com/g13787164-shpritsemyoty-inektor-shpritsy. (para. 3, 5)].

Actually "thrower" is a manual throwing device, such as a smoothbore gun with an optical sight with a reticle in the field of view. The principle of its operation is wind, spring-pneumatic or pneumatic. Syringes are filled with a liquid veterinary drug. The shooter directs the "thrower" at the target and shoots with a "flying" syringe at the target - a living biological object (animal or bird). The syringe hits the target and automatically injects. If necessary, the shooter shoots again, at the same or another target.

However, the prototype device, as well as the method implemented with its help, have limited technical and operational capabilities (TEV):

- small throwing range (approximately from 10 to 100 meters);

- increased (with increasing distance) requirements for the stability of the flight of the syringe (external ballistics);

- limited visibility in the presence of relief obstacles on the ground and the location of two or more targets one after the other along the line of sight of the "thrower";

- the difficulty of rapid assessment of the physiological state of the target at a relatively long distance;

- increased probability of a miss at a relatively long distance;

- personal insecurity of the shooter in the case of using "his" fighter in a helpless state as a target in an intensively fired territory ("forward").

The above disadvantages of the prototype are valid both when shooting at animals and birds, and at people.

In accordance with the indicated disadvantages of the prototype, the task is set (the problem is formulated) of increasing the TEV of a technical means for remote treatment-and-prophylactic and soporific injections of living biological objects.

The above problem is solved (the problem is basically eliminated) due to the fact that the technical tool for remote treatment-and-prophylactic and sleeping injections of living biological objects, containing a device for throwing syringes with a pharmacological preparation for injection, complete with the indicated syringes, according to the claimed invention, additionally contains a remotely or automatically controlled unmanned aerial vehicle with a helicopter-type propulsion device and located in its lower part, at least one television camera with an aiming grid in the image field, and the mentioned device for throwing syringes, while the line of shooting of the latter and the main optical axis of the television the chambers are directed downwards, with the possibility of crossing at a given distance h to a living biological object as a target for injection.

The goal is achieved (the problem is basically eliminated) also due to additional design features of the device while maintaining the above set of main features:

- the television camera can be mounted pivotally, with the possibility of changing the distance h (this optimizes the choice of the UAV “hovering” distance over the target and the production of syringe throwing);

- the device for throwing syringes can be made in the form of a multi-barrel block with sets of syringes and is located around a circle with coverage of the television camera in the center (this optimizes the layout of the "syringe-TV-camera" complex and maximizes the ammunition load, all other things being equal dimensions of the complex);

- syringes can be filled with a suspension of a therapeutic and prophylactic drug that activates or inhibits the physiological capabilities of a living biological object, mainly a helpless fighter on the battlefield (this is a fundamentally different doctrine (“the doctrine of target excitation”) from the doctrine of “calming the target” widely practiced in veterinary medicine; for the first time it is offered as a "tool" for field sanitary troopers (its) during the period of hostilities);

- syringes can be filled with an antidote for injection to a person under conditions of radiation or contamination of the area (this seems to be quite probable for practical use in modern large-scale wars).

Thus, the main idea embodied in the proposed project is to introduce a "medical drone" as an intermediary into the composition of the technical means (complex). In accordance with the principle of "long-range action" to ensure the safety of the shooter, the ability to perform their functions behind profile obstacles, the expediency of observing the target, its visual diagnostics and syringe-throwing at it from the closest possible distance. At the same time, an original technical design was organized - a drone with attachments in the form of "syringe guns", in combination with a TV camera as a special equipment ("payload") of the UAV.

Among the array of known devices, no such devices were found, the set of essential features of which would coincide with the declared one. At the same time, it is precisely due to the latter that a new technical result is achieved, which determines that the claimed device has the qualification feature "world-class novelty".

For all its brevity of the wording, the set of distinctive essential features of the proposed device is not a simple sum of the known technical results of using separately known system components. There is a "super-effect" (in the patent meaning of this term), which is not obvious to a specialist from the state of the art (of course, before considering the proposed technical solution). With the above spectrum of TEV. This convincingly demonstrates inventive development as the second of the triad of invention qualifications.

The third qualifying feature - industrial applicability - is also undeniable and follows, first of all, from that “still young”, but already rich experience in using UAVs (drones) for peaceful and military purposes.

The essence of the invention is disclosed in more detail in the implementation example below - for a technical device ("sanitary drone") with a drone - a quadrocopter and a ring block of syringe throwers and a rotary TV camera.

The device is illustrated in the drawings (diagrams) of Fig. 12:

in fig. 1 shows the process of injecting a wounded soldier on the battlefield from a “sanitary drone” (UAV) hovering over him, where h is the distance between them; P - the point of intersection of the movable (relative to the UAV) main optical axis of the TV camera with the shooting line of the corresponding "working" (next) barrel of the device (throwing block) for throwing syringes, the dimensions of the syringe are conditionally increased to further emphasize the priority of this element in the totality of features) ;

in fig. 2 - the layout of the device for throwing syringes (using the example of a 12-barrel throwing block) with a TV camera from below (under the bottom / frame) of the UAV, bottom view.

In FIG. 1, 2 positions are marked: 1 - a device for throwing syringes (throwing block); 2 - "flying" syringe with a pharmacological suspension (substance, composition); 3 - UAV ("drone"); 4 - propeller UAV ("drone"); 5 - TV camera (airborne UAV); 6 - line of shooting the barrel of a device for throwing syringes (throwing block); 7 - the main optical axis of the TV camera; 8 - the surface of the earth; 9 - living biological object (human or animal) - target; 10 - TV camera hinge; 11 - support and landing elements of the UAV (such as "skis").

A technical tool for remote treatment-and-prophylactic and sedative injections of living biological objects (“sanitary drone”) contains a device 1 for throwing syringes 2 with a pharmacological preparation for injection complete with the indicated syringes (2).

It additionally contains a remotely or automatically controlled unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, drone) 3 with a helicopter type propeller 4 (mainly a quadrocopter, as shown in Fig. 1) and located in its lower part (on the bottom/frame or under them), at least at least one television (TV-) camera 5 with an aiming grid in the image field (not shown, similar to those known in optical devices), and the mentioned device 1 (throwing block) for throwing syringes 2. At the same time, the line 6 of shooting the latter (i.e. .device 1) and the main optical axis 7 of the TV camera 5 are directed downwards (toward the surface of the earth 8), with the possibility of crossing (point P) at a given distance h (see Fig. 1) to a living biological object 9 as a target (9 ) for injection.

The TV camera 5 can be hinged (spherical joint 10), with the possibility of changing the distance h. (see Fig. 1).

The bottom of the body (frame) of the UAV 3 is traditionally provided with metal support-landing elements 11, such as the type of "ski". In this case, the device 1 with the TV camera 5 is recessed in relation to the lower level of the device 11.

The device 1 for throwing syringes 2 can be made (as shown in the exemplary embodiment) in the form of a multi-barrel block 1 with sets of syringes 2 (here, twelve barrels and, accordingly, twelve syringes 2 with an individual barrel system for each syringe 2) and is located along circle covering the TV camera 5 in the center (see Fig. 2).

Syringes 2 can be filled with a suspension of a therapeutic and prophylactic drug that activates or inhibits the physiological capabilities of a biological object 9, mainly a helpless fighter (9) on the battlefield (8).

In addition, syringes 2 can be filled with an antidote for injection to a person (fighters and civilians) 9 under conditions of radiation or contamination of the area (8).

In the application to throwing at animals (solution of veterinary problems), the use of sedative (for non-lethal temporary immobilization) preparations (substances, suspensions) still remains a priority.

The claimed device works (functions) as follows.

Syringes 2 in the required quantity (in this example, in the amount of 12) and filled with one or different (depending on the specific situation) pharmacological preparations (suspensions, substances and mixtures thereof) are loaded into the barrels or breech or magazines of the device 1 (hereinafter referred to as "throwing block" 1), depending on the specific design of the throwing block 1.

Equipped by the operator (on the base) with syringes 2 UAVs (drone) 3 in remote or automatic mode (also depending on the specific type of control system or rational mode in the combined control system option) takes off and is directed through the air to the specified “working” point(s) or area(s) of space.

Having found, by means of a TV camera 5, a wounded soldier 9 or another person 9 in a helpless but alive state (again, by an operator, mainly a doctor, according to such signs as, for example, movements and breathing), the UAV 3 reduces the distance h to him to reasonably sufficient (for example, 1-3 meters), rotates the TV camera 5 until its main optical axis 7 intersects with the shooting line 6 of the throwing block 1 selected for throwing the barrel and aiming (by means of an aiming grid in the field of view of the TV camera 5) produce syringe throwing with the required pharmacological suspension in the selected part of the body or limb of the target 9 (see Fig. 1) - injection intramuscularly. It is usually an anesthetic, an activating dose, or an antidote.

With several targets 9, the UAV 3 successively "serves" each of them (9), "hovering" over them and firing the next syringes 2.

The same happens in the case of veterinary operations in relation to animals in which a remote injection is performed (usually with a suspension of an inhibitory physiological action, a sedative).

All drugs mentioned in this application for the invention are known in pharmacology and medicine or promising.

In the absence of targets 9 or the onboard supply of syringes 2 is used up, the UAV 3 returns to the operator (to the base).

The described actions, in fact, are a new method of remote injections.

The use of the claimed invention allows you to basically eliminate the shortcomings of the prototype, increase the TEV of the technical tool due to:

- a significant (up to tens of kilometers) increase in the range with a decrease in the required distance of injection;

- reducing the requirements for the stability of the flight of the syringe (external ballistics);

- ensuring the possibility of injection behind profile obstacles on the ground and the location of two or more targets one after the other along the line of sight of the "thrower";

- facilitating an express assessment of the physiological state of the target at a relatively long distance;

- reducing the probability of a miss at a relatively long distance;

- increasing the personal insecurity of the shooter (brigade of service personnel) in the case of using "his" fighter in a helpless state as a target in an intensively shelled area ("forward").
