Working principle and advantages of unmanned aerial vehicle tethered fire hose kit
With the frequent occurrence of global fire accidents, traditional firefighting methods face many limitations: fire trucks are restricted by road congestion, water cannons have limited range, and firefighters need to brave high temperatures and thick smoke to enter dangerous areas. Especially in high-rise buildings, forest mountains, and petrochemical plants, traditional rescue methods are often inefficient and high-risk. In order to make up for this shortcoming, unmanned aerial vehicle firefighting equipment is gradually moving towards the forefront, among which the unmanned aerial vehicle tethered firefighting hose set is considered an important development direction for future firefighting.
As a factory specializing in the research and production of unmanned aerial vehicle firefighting equipment, our products have been exported to multiple countries and have won the trust of customers with stable and reliable performance and mature cooperation models.
Q1: How does the drone tethered fire hose kit work?
The drone tethered fire hose kit mainly consists of three parts: tethered drone, ground power supply unit, and high-pressure hose. During mission execution, the drone is connected to the ground power supply through a tethered cable to achieve continuous power supply; At the same time, the ground high-pressure pump continuously delivers water flow to the unmanned aerial vehicle end and sprays it onto the fire source location.
This principle may seem simple, but it solves the pain points of traditional drones' short endurance and low water carrying capacity. Ordinary firefighting drones can often only carry a few liters of water and spray for no more than 2-3 minutes, while tethered drones rely on ground water supply and can operate continuously for several hours. At the same time, the flight altitude can cover over 100 meters, far exceeding the range of fire trucks and water cannons. It is this combination of "continuous water supply+high-altitude operations" that gives it a unique advantage in fire fighting.
Q2: What are the advantages compared to traditional firefighting methods?
Compared with fire trucks and manual firefighting, tethered drones have significant advantages in efficiency and safety:
Quick response: Drones take off in just a few minutes, while fire trucks are often delayed due to road congestion, and initial firefighting opportunities may be missed.
High altitude operations: The spraying height of fire trucks' water cannons is limited, generally not exceeding 60-70 meters, while drones can easily cover 100-120 meters, especially suitable for high-rise buildings and mountain fires.
Improved safety: Drones can replace firefighters in entering areas with high temperatures and dense smoke, significantly reducing the risk of casualties.
Continuous operation: Tethered energy supply ensures long-term water spraying, not limited by battery life, and does not require frequent replacement of water sources.
Flexible deployment: With small size and strong mobility, it can quickly deploy on narrow streets, ports, or chemical plants, which are often blind spots for fire trucks.
These advantages not only make drone firefighting systems a supplement to traditional methods, but also an important component of future firefighting forces.
Summary:
The unmanned aerial vehicle tethered fire hose set effectively solves the problems of time delay and blind spots in traditional firefighting methods through the technological advantages of "continuous energy supply, continuous water supply, and high-altitude operations". At present, our products have been put into use in multiple countries and have established stable cooperative relationships with fire departments and enterprises. In the future, we will continue to promote technological upgrades and provide more reliable and efficient solutions for the global firefighting industry.
