Description

The utility model relates to unmanned aircraft. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be used to solve many problems, the implementation of which manned aircraft for various reasons is impractical. Such tasks include monitoring of airspace, land and water surfaces, environmental control, air traffic control, control of maritime navigation, development of communication systems, etc.

When monitoring airspace, land and water surfaces, depending on the specific tasks to be solved, aerial photography, monitoring of hydro- and meteorological conditions, atmospheric research, radiometric monitoring of disaster areas, seismic monitoring, inspection of compliance with contractual obligations, monitoring of gas and oil pipelines, power lines can be carried out , geological observations, study of ice conditions, sea waves.

To solve these problems, in February 2007, the first International Forum and Exhibition “Unmanned Multipurpose Systems in the Interests of the Fuel and Energy Complex” (UVS-TECH 2007) was held for the first time in Moscow. The purpose of the events was to ensure the interaction of fuel and energy companies, domestic and foreign manufacturers of aerospace technology, government agencies in the creation and use of unmanned multipurpose systems, including on the basis of unmanned aerial vehicles, in the interests of the fuel and energy complex, including for environmental monitoring.

The prior art unmanned aerial vehicle (options) according to the patent of the Russian Federation 2213024, IPC B64C 5/08, B64C 39/02, B64C 39/04, publ. 2003.09.27. The use of any variant of the UAV described in it allows real-time monitoring of airspace, land and water surfaces. All UAV layouts are compact, economical in operation and maintenance, and have high flight performance. To deploy the system does not require large areas, the aircraft is mobile in deployment. Significant

The disadvantage of all devices is the performance of UAVs according to the airplane scheme, which does not allow for liquid sampling when performing environmental environmental monitoring.

The closest to the principle of action and technical essence is "Unmanned aerial vehicle" (RF patent No. 2133210, MKI V64C 39/02, V64C 27/20, publ. 1999.07.20), which ensures the elimination of the above disadvantages. It describes an unmanned aerial vehicle vertical take-off and landing (GDP). On such a UAV for monitoring from the earth's surface, a remotely controlled, external, folding in the transportation position block of sensing devices and / or folding chassis are installed.

There are numerous monitoring tasks using UAV GDP. For example, the ability of UAVs to take off and land vertical GDP makes them especially preferred when observation sites are removed, when they are in danger and / or when they are inaccessible using other means. In addition, the fulfillment of many surveillance tasks is beyond the scope of man, since they can be fraught with danger or require observation from many points in a short period of time.

Here are some of the tasks associated with observation, especially successfully solved by UAV UAVs: border zone review, information dissemination, radiometric distress area monitoring, overview of restricted areas, environmental monitoring, geological / seismic observations. When completing the task of patrolling the UAV border zone, GDP can be directed to areas of possible border crossing and secretly landed there. To perform covert surveillance of a possible border crossing area, the block of sensing devices can be switched on automatically or by remote commands.

UAV GDP can be deployed for observation in areas of natural disasters, for example, spilled rivers or destroyed bridges, roads, buildings. UAV GDP can be remotely landed in disaster areas, where the block of sensing devices will transmit data to assess the scale

disasters, to warn in advance about the aggravation of the process of its development and / or to identify the possibility of victims. UAV GDP can be sent to potentially / really criminogenic points, for example, zones closed to access, places where crimes are committed. The use of the UAV GDP for the review of criminogenic zones eliminates the need to involve law enforcement personnel to carry out this work related to the danger to life. UAV GDP can be quickly deployed in places of chemical contamination in order to collect relevant data using, for example, video, chemical detectors, which would allow us to assess the severity of the consequences of infection and / or plan actions to eliminate them and the means for this. The use of UAV UAV eliminates the risk to the health of people who solve these problems. UAV GDP can also be used to detect cases of illegal dumping of toxic waste. Also, UAV UAVs can be used for remote monitoring of volcanic or seismic activity. UAV GDP can be used in compiling seismic maps of remote, inaccessible areas.

At present, chemical weapons destruction facilities for environmental monitoring use mobile environmental monitoring laboratories and environmental monitoring posts. However, sampling and delivery of samples from hard-to-reach places, in the conditions of impassability and roads, at any time of day and visibility are associated with great difficulties, and sampling from arbitrary places, for example over marshy areas, is impossible.

The objective of the utility model is to improve the technical capabilities of UAV UAV GDP in order to use it for environmental monitoring of environmental objects and for facilities for the destruction of chemical weapons, in particular.

The technical result that can be obtained using the utility model is the possibility of remote sampling of liquid and bottom sediments from any hard-to-reach places due to the installation of additional special equipment for UAV GDP.

The task is achieved by the fact that on a remote unmanned aerial vehicle for sampling liquid containing an unmanned aerial vehicle vertical take-off and landing with a block of sensing devices

In addition, a small-sized winch is installed, which is controlled from the control and monitoring panel installed on the ground, and the free end of the winch cable is connected to a liquid sampler.

Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a remote unmanned aerial vehicle

for sampling fluid, in Fig.2-4 the position of its moving parts when sampling fluid from the upper, intermediate and lower layers, respectively,

where: 1 - UAV GDP;

2 - winch;

3 - cable;

4 - liquid sampler;

5 - ground control point.

The remote unmanned aerial vehicle consists of a UAV UAV 1, on which a winch 2 is installed, the cable 3 of which is connected to a liquid sampler 5.

The device operates as follows.

On the ground, before the start, the necessary maintenance is carried out: they check and refuel UAV systems for GDP 1, enter the necessary data into the on-board computer to determine the location of the sampling for liquids, prepare on-board radio-electronic equipment to control the operation of the winch 2, and also install the required sampler 4 In the initial state of the UAV, GDP 1 is located near the ground control point 5.

A fully prepared UAV GDP 1 is launched according to commands from the ground control point 5. UAV GDP 1 is controlled by a program embedded in the on-board computer before launch. If it is necessary to intervene in the flight program, control can be carried out remotely from the ground control point 5.

After the UAV takes off, the GDP flies to the mission area, upon reaching which it switches to the hovering mode at the given height.

On command from the ground control point 5, the winch 2 starts to work, unwinding the cable 3 (Fig. 1).

Specified Sampler: for sampling surface fluid

(figure 2), from a given depth (figure 3) and bottom sediments (figure 4) takes a given sample.

Further, on command from the ground control point 5, the winch 2 starts to work, reeling up the cable 3. Thus, a sample of the liquid is delivered on board the UAV GDP.

The whole process of sampling and returning UAVs to GDP takes place automatically. If necessary, it is possible to switch to manual control from a ground control point 5.

After planting, a fluid sample is submitted for analysis; the necessary after-flight maintenance is carried out with the UAV GDP.

The UAV UAV layout is compact, economical in operation and maintenance. To deploy the entire system does not require large areas.

Thus, UAV GDP, in addition to its main use: conducting radiation, chemical and biological reconnaissance and transmitting information in real time; environmental monitoring; broadcasting and relaying information from emergency areas with disrupted infrastructure; detection of oil spots in water areas, places of ruptures of oil pipelines, assessment of pollution of water resources; protection of particularly important facilities, summits, open Olympiads and others can be used for sampling liquids and bottom sediments from any inaccessible places.
