Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to a technical field of material application, and in particular to a UAV surface coating, a preparation method thereof and a UAV.


BACKGROUND

With the deepening of the research and application of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), its maximum take-off weight has reached more than ten tons. A use of the unmanned low-altitude aerial vehicles at the fire rescue site for fire extinguishing, personnel rescue, communication connections and material delivery and other tasks can effectively reduce the danger of traditional pilots when performing the tasks, at the same time, the unmanned low-altitude aerial vehicles are with small sizes, easy to operate, and have small restrictions on take-off sites when carrying out the fire rescue in a city, which is more suitable for modern development trends. It is necessary to effectively reduce the weight of the aircraft itself, and at the same time increase what it can carry. However, in the prior art, different kinds of resin-based composites or ceramic-based composites are usually used to manufacture the machine body of the low-altitude aircraft. The resin-based composites have the problems of low melting point, insufficient high temperature resistance and easy to be corroded by smoke at the fire site, which leads to failure, thus limiting the applications in large fires scenes and high-temperature fire scenes. While, the ceramic-based composites are silicon carbide fiber-reinforced silicon carbide, carbon fiber-reinforced carbon, carbon fiber-reinforced silicon carbide and silicon carbide fiber-reinforced carbon ceramic-based composites with a melting point of more than 2000° C., and have advantages of low density, strong plasticity and high specific strength similar to the resin-based composites. However, the disadvantage of the above-mentioned ceramic matrix composites is that they will be oxidized and fail when exposed to air at high temperatures.


In addition, in recent years, fires have occurred frequently in southwest China, forest and grassland areas, the fires have come and developed rapidly, and the losses in areas with large areas of fire are more serious. The traditional fire extinguisher has a significant fire extinguishing effect for the fire of close range or small fire source, and is generally powerless for the fire of long distance and large fire. Moreover, the conventional fire extinguishing UAVs are not very capable of targeted fire-extinguishing at the fire site, and cannot carry out a long-distance, accurate and efficient fire-extinguishing at the fire site.

Experimental Results and Analysis:

It may be seen from Table 6, in embodiments 11-16, after a complete coating system is prepared on the surface of the lightweight material matrix, the ultimate working temperature of the lightweight material has been greatly improved, and its thermal insulation and cooling effect is significant. Moreover, through adjusting the thickness of each coating, the heat insulation cooling gradient can be effectively controlled, so that the above-mentioned lightweight materials can be used for a long time at higher temperatures, and a resistance to high-temperature oxidative and ablation of the materials can be effectively improved. Comparing embodiment 11 with comparative embodiments 5-7, it may be seen that compared with comparative embodiments 5-7, the material of embodiment 11 has a higher ultimate working temperature, better thermal insulation and cooling effect, and stronger anti-oxidation ability. A material mass reduction in comparative embodiment 5 is very obvious, which is due to a mass reduction caused by an oxidation and sublimation of the carbon fiber. Material properties of comparative embodiment 6 are better than those of comparative embodiment 5, and material properties of comparative embodiment 7 are better than those of comparative embodiment 6, which indicates that settings of the oxygen-blocking propagation layer and the heat-insulation cooling layer can further improve the high temperature resistance, heat insulation and cooling capabilities, and oxidation resistance.

A specific process of the embodiment is as follows:


First, the information acquisition module 1 obtains information of the target fire extinguishing point such as the time of fire occurrence, the fire location, the fire type and the fire estimation level, forms the first data set, and sends the first data set to the central control module.

Fifth, the pressure control module 4 controls the efficient fire extinguishing device of the efficient fire protection module to spray the efficient compressible foam fire extinguishing agent to carry out a targeted fire extinguishing. First the fire is extinguished at the point before it spreads, and then the source of the fire is extinguished. After the fire extinguishing task is completed, the central control module 3 issues a returning control command, the fire-extinguishing UAV is controlled by the remote controller to fly back to the fire-extinguishing center, and the fire extinguishing task is over.


In recent years, research and application of rescue UAVs have not been in-depth and promoted, but they have been widely used in all aspects of society, especially in a field of firefighting, where UAVs are increasingly used. In recent years, fires have occurred frequently in southwest China, forest and grassland areas, the fires have come and developed rapidly, and the losses in areas with large areas of fire are more serious. The traditional fire extinguisher has a significant fire extinguishing effect for the fire of close range or small fire source, and is generally powerless for the fire of long distance and large fire. The fire-extinguishing UAV in the prior art, generally carries the fire extinguisher and flies to the fire location, sprays fire extinguishing agent to extinguish the fire in advance, which plays a role in containing fire in time. Compared with a fire brigade, an advantage is only that a fire extinguishing response speed is fast, and the UAVs can quickly arrive at the fire scene to extinguish the fire. However, its targeted fire extinguishing ability to the fire is not strong, a fire extinguishing effect is not good, and a whole fire extinguishing process is not intelligent and efficient enough.


While in the embodiment of the disclosure, it is not only intelligently issue fire-extinguishing task according to the information such as the time of fire occurrence, the fire location, the fire type, and the fire estimation level of the target fire extinguishing point, at the same time, after the fire-extinguishing UAV arrives at the fire scene, it is not directly unplanned to carry out fire extinguishing work, but also the fire-extinguishing UAV first detects the temperature distribution of the fire scene by the temperature detection module, obtains the temperature changing spectrum, obtains the detailed on-site temperature distribution in combination with the Beidou positioning system, and finds the specific locations of the fire source and the point before the fire spreads, and then carries out an efficient targeted and efficient fire extinguishing, which has better fire extinguishing effect, higher efficiency and more intelligence. The efficient compressible foam fire extinguishing agent used during fire extinguishing is non-toxic, harmless, and a reactant obtained by reacting with a combustion matter is also a non-toxic, harmless substance, which can effectively ensure a life safety of animals, evacuees and firefighters at the fire scene. A composition and structure of the UAV are made of high-temperature resistant materials, which can enable the fire-extinguishing UAV to continue to work in a high-temperature environment, and the fire-extinguishing UAV will not be deformed or burned, which further guarantees the fire-extinguishing effect.


Embodiment 18

This embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 17, and a difference is that: when the fire is larger, and a long-distance fire extinguishing effect is not significant, the temperature detection module detects a precise position of the fire source, and the UAV module is controlled by the remote controller to fly to the fire source. The pressure control module controls the efficient fire extinguishing device to blast, and the fire source is blasted and extinguished at a fixed point at a fixed time, so that the fire is quickly controlled.


A specific process of this embodiment is the same as that of embodiment 17, with the following differences:


Fifth, the pressure control module 4 controls the efficient fire extinguishing device of the efficient fire protection module to spray the efficient compressible foam fire extinguishing agent to carry out a targeted fire extinguishing. First the fire is extinguished at the point before it spreads, and then the source of the fire is extinguished. If the long-distance fire extinguishing effect is not significant, the fire is still gradually increasing, the temperature detection module detects the precise position of the fire source, and then the remote controller controls the UAV module to fly to the fire source. The pressure control module controls the efficient fire extinguishing device for blasting, and the fire source is blasted and extinguished at the fixed point at the fixed time, so as to quickly control the fire. Then a backup fire-extinguishing UAV will be dispatched to continue extinguishing the remaining fires until all open flames are extinguished and the fire-extinguishing task is over.


When the fire extinguishing UAV is carrying out the long-distance fire extinguishing, if there is an emergency, such as a sudden increase in wind volume causes the fire to gradually increase, and the fire cannot be controlled by the long-distance fire extinguishing, a blasting fire extinguishing is directly used to quickly and efficiently extinguish the fire source, so as to avoid more serious losses caused by a continued expansion of the fire. Although blasting and extinguishing will lose the fire-extinguishing UAV, it can control an out-of-control fire in time, reduce an impact of the fire, and ensure the safety of the evacuees and firefighters. Its value is still greater than its economic value of a fire-extinguishing UAV itself.


Embodiment 19

This embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 17, and a difference is that: after the fire-extinguishing UAV completes the fire-extinguishing task and extinguishes all the open flames at the fire scene, the temperature detection module collects the temperature distribution of the scene again, and determines a point with a temperature greater than 60° C. as a re-ignition point where the fire may re-ignite, and then the fire-extinguishing UAV carries out the targeted fire extinguishing on these re-ignition points one by one until its temperature is reduced to below 40° C.


A specific process of this embodiment is the same as that of embodiment 17, with the following differences:


Fifth, the pressure control module 4 controls the efficient fire extinguishing device of the efficient fire protection module to spray the efficient compressible foam fire extinguishing agent to carry out a targeted fire extinguishing. First the fire is extinguished at the point before it spreads, and then the source of the fire is extinguished. After the fire extinguishing task is completed, the temperature detection module collects the temperature distribution of the scene again, and determines the point with the temperature greater than 60° C. as the re-ignition point where the fire may re-ignite. The remote controller of the UAV module 5 controls the fire-extinguishing UAV to fly one by one to 2 meters directly above these re-ignition points, and then the fire-extinguishing UAV carries out the targeted fire extinguishing on these re-ignition points one by one until its temperature is reduced to below 40° C. Finally, the central control module 3 issues a returning control command, the fire-extinguishing UAV is controlled by the remote controller to fly back to the fire-extinguishing center, and the fire extinguishing task is over.


Combined with an actual situation, in many cases such as a mountain fire or a forest fire, soon after the open flames are extinguished, there will be a re-ignition phenomenon. Therefore, after the fire-extinguishing UAV extinguishes all the open flames, the temperature detection module detects all the points where the temperature is higher than 60° C., and a secondary fire extinguishing is carried out to avoid the re-ignition phenomenon which may cause more serious losses. At the same time, it can also effectively improve the fire extinguishing effect of the fire-extinguishing UAV.


Embodiment 20

This embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 17, and a difference is that: an intelligent fire-extinguishing UAV system further includes a display module, configured to display the fire extinguishing on-site scene and remaining power of the fire extinguishing UAV in real time.


A specific process of this embodiment is the same as that of embodiment 17, with the following differences:


Fifth, the pressure control module 4 controls the efficient fire extinguishing device of the efficient fire protection module to spray the efficient compressible foam fire extinguishing agent to carry out a targeted fire extinguishing. First the fire is extinguished at the point before it spreads, and then the source of the fire is extinguished. During a fire extinguishing process, the display module can display a fire extinguishing on-site scene and remaining power of the fire extinguishing UAV in real time. After the fire extinguishing task is completed, the central control module issues a returning control command, the fire-extinguishing UAV is controlled by the remote controller to fly back to the fire-extinguishing center, and the fire extinguishing task is over.


Through the display module, the fire extinguishing on-site scene can be viewed in real time, so that a staff can clearly understand a fire extinguishing progress and the fire extinguishing effect. If there is an emergency, they can also take timely countermeasures, and at the same time can check the remaining power of the fire-extinguishing UAV, so as to recall the fire-extinguishing UAV in time when the power is about to run out, which avoids the UAV from crashing due to loss of power.

Anyone familiar with this technology may modify or change the above embodiments without departing from a scope of the disclosure.
