Description

Aircraft engine detection and laser drive system to prevent bird strikes

This creation is related to the technical field of image detection combined with laser light emitters, especially the detection and laser driving system of aircraft engines to prevent bird strikes.

Bird strike, or bird strike, bird strike, is commonly known as bird sucking in aviation. This refers to an accident caused by a collision between a bird and an aircraft in flight. The take-off and landing process of an aircraft is the most prone to bird strikes, and more than 90% of bird strikes occur in airports and the airspace near them. Preventing bird strikes is to reduce the overlap between bird activities and aircraft take-off and landing, which is a very important issue for aviation safety.

Using gas cannons, scary eyes (eagle eyes), recording to repel birds, hunting, raising birds of prey, and repelling bird bombs are the simplest and most direct ways to repel birds. However, some of these methods are inconvenient in operation, and some are not effective.

The purpose of this creation is to provide an aircraft engine to prevent bird strike detection and laser driving system, which has simple operation and can instantly drive away birds outside the aircraft, thereby improving the safety of the aircraft during takeoff and landing.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned purposes and effects, this creation discloses a detection and laser driving system for preventing bird strikes from aircraft engines, which is used to drive away birds outside the aircraft to prevent the birds from flying into or being sucked into the aircraft. The engine includes: a processor; an image capturing device electrically connected to the processor and installed on the outer surface of the aircraft to detect birds outside the aircraft; an image processing module electrically connected to the processor and The image capture module; a laser drive module includes a plurality of electric drive and is electrically connected to the processor, each of the electric drive is installed on the outer surface of the aircraft.

The image processing module is used for comparing and identifying the bird image detected by the image capturing device and tracking the relative movement trajectory of the bird and the aircraft.

Furthermore, this creation includes a display electrically connected to the processor. The display is used for displaying the image capturing device detecting birds outside the aircraft and the repelling effect of the laser driving module on the birds.

Furthermore, this creation includes a controller electrically connected to the laser driving module. The controller is used to control the opening and closing of the laser driving module.

In accordance with the purpose and effect of this creation, a preferred embodiment is listed below, and the detailed description is as follows in conjunction with the drawings.

In the following, referring to the drawings, the preferred embodiments of the present creation are described. It should be understood that the drawings and descriptions here are for illustration only and are not used to limit this creation. In addition, the terms "inner" and "outer", "upper" and "lower" described in the manual are used to clearly explain the relative position and are not used as restrictive terms.

Please refer to FIG. 1, this embodiment includes a combination of a processor 10, an image capturing device 20, an image processing module 30, a laser driving module 40 and a display 50.

Furthermore, the processor 10 is used to provide calculation, analysis and image processing. The image capturing device 20 is electrically connected to the processor 10. The image capturing device 20 can be a camera, a charge-coupled device (CCD), or a similar device. The image capturing device 20 is used to capture images and can perform image tracking.

The image processing module 30 is electrically connected to the processor 10 and the image capturing module 20. The image processing module 30 can provide image recognition and comparison. The electric drive module 40 is electrically connected to the processor 10, and the laser drive module 40 is used to provide a laser beam. The display 50 is electrically connected to the processor 10 for displaying images output by the image capturing device 20 and/or the image processing module 30.

Please refer to Figure 2. The image capturing module 20 and the laser driving module 40 are installed on the outer surface of an aircraft. For example, the image capturing module 20 and the laser driving module 40 are installed on the engine. The outer surface of 60. The laser driver module 40 includes a plurality of laser drivers 42, and each of the laser drivers 42 is installed on the outer surface of the engine 60 in a ring arrangement. The above-mentioned laser driver 42 is a laser light emitter, and the laser light emitted is red light; in addition, the laser driver 42 can also emit other light that birds are afraid of, such as infrared light and ultraviolet light. Light, visible light... and other light rays. Since each of the laser drivers 42 is arranged in a ring shape, the laser light emitted by each of the laser drivers 42 constitutes a ring-shaped grating.

According to the above-mentioned structure, the image capturing device 20 and the image processing module 30 can be used to detect and compare the birds outside the aircraft, and can track the flight trajectory of the birds, and then emit a powerful red laser light to hit In the eyes of the birds, it frightens them and avoids the engine 60. Even if the laser light of the laser driver 42 fails to hit the bird’s eye, the bird will avoid the red ring-shaped laser grating when it sees the red ring, so as to prevent the bird from flying into the engine 60 and get rid of it. The damage effect of the engine 60 further improves flight safety.

Please refer to Fig. 3, the present creation may further include a controller 70 for electrically connecting the laser driver module 40. The controller 70 can be a manual switch and used to control the opening and closing of the laser driving module 40.

The structure disclosed in this embodiment can automatically track birds outside the aircraft and simultaneously emit laser light, thereby reducing the occurrence of bird strikes on the engine 60. In addition, the bird images detected and recognized by the image capture device 20 and the image processing module 30 are sent back to the crew in the aircraft and displayed on the display 50, and can emit warning lights or At this time, the crew member can manually operate the controller 70 to emit strong light to illuminate the flock of birds, so as to effectively prevent the occurrence of bird strikes.

Based on the above examples, this creation can automatically detect and drive away birds, so it is easy to operate and can instantly drive away birds outside the aircraft, thereby improving the safety of the aircraft during takeoff and landing.

The above are the preferred embodiments and design drawings of this creation, but the preferred embodiments and design drawings are only examples and are not used to limit the scope of rights of this creation technique. Any equivalent technical means or the following The implementation of the scope of rights covered by the content of the "Scope of Patent Application" does not depart from the scope of this creation and is the scope of the applicant's rights.
