Description

The invention is intended to increase the protection of robotic means (RTS) from damage in the event of a communication failure between the operator and the RTS.

Known RTS control systems based on tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, Fig. 1, where: 1 - RTS operator; 2 - remote control system (RCS) RTS: 3 - means of communication and transmission of control commands to the RTS board; 4 - receiver of control commands on board the RTS; 5 - on-board control equipment RTS; 6 - RTS armament; 7 - RTS engine; 8 - chassis with RTS propulsion; 9 - stopping brakes RTS.

If the RTS control system is in good condition, the operator (1) using the remote control system (2), means of communication and command transmission (3) sends control commands to the RTS board. On board the RTS, the control commands received by the receiver (4) are sent to the onboard control equipment of the RTS, which controls the armament (6) of the RTS, the operation of the engine (7) of the RTS, the landing gear with the propeller (8) of the RTS and the stopping brakes (9) of the RTS in accordance with with operator commands (1).

The disadvantage of the existing RTS control system is that if the communication between the operator and the RTS is disrupted, for example, if the means of communication and command transmission (3) fail or they are suppressed by the enemy’s electronic warfare, the operator’s commands will not be sent to the RTS, the RTS engine will stop working, but the RTS will continue to move by inertia until it uses up the previously stored energy to overcome the forces of resistance to movement. In this case, the RTS may tip over into ditches and ditches, RTS get stuck in swamps, RTS mutual collisions and collisions with other equipment and structures, which can lead to damage and breakdowns of the RTS.

In order to increase the protection of the RTS in the event of a communication failure between the operator and the RTS, a control system is proposed that differs from the existing installation of the servomechanism (12) for turning on the stopping brakes of the RTS, the electromagnet (11) for turning on the servo mechanism and the emergency control unit for stopping brakes (10) of the RTS. The operation of the system is illustrated in Fig. 2. If there is a connection between the operator and the RTS, the control of the RTS is carried out in the same way as in the existing RTS. In this case, the emergency control unit (10) for the RTS stopping brakes disconnects the electromagnet (11) from the on-board network of the RTS, and the stopping brakes (12) are in the off state. If the connection between the operator and the RTS is interrupted, control commands are not sent to the RTS. Onboard equipment (5) is switched off. At the same time, the engine (6) stops, control commands are not received for armament (6) and the chassis with the propulsion unit (7), and the emergency control unit (10) connects the electromagnet (11) to the RTS on-board network, the stopping brakes (12) work and with with their help, a complete stop of the RTS is ensured.

This eliminates the uncontrolled movement of the RTS.

The objective of the present invention is to provide a forced quick complete stop of the RTS in case of communication failure between the operator and the RTS due to the automatic activation of the servo mechanism of the stopping brakes and thereby increasing the protection of the RTS from damage.

The technical solutions of the proposed invention are:

1. Use of an additional control channel from the receiver and the RTS onboard control equipment to the servo mechanism of the RTS stopping brakes.

2. Introduction to the RTS on-board controls of an additional function to control the activation of the stopping brake servomechanism.

The technical result of the proposed invention is the possibility of automatic activation of the servomechanism of the RTS stopping brakes in case of a communication failure between the operator and the RTS.
