Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of rescue clothing technology, and in particular to a dry water rescue suit with an intelligent protective control device. Background Technology
[0002] Water rescue is a high-frequency, high-risk task within the emergency rescue system. Low temperatures, rapid currents, and polluted water can easily cause hypothermia, frostbite, and secondary injuries to rescuers. Dry suits, as core protective equipment, employ a one-piece sealed structure and waterproof, breathable fabric. Through neck and wrist seals and airtight zippers, they achieve full-body waterproofing, keeping the body dry for extended periods in cold or polluted water, significantly reducing operational risks. They are widely used in firefighting, maritime, mountain, and urban flooding rescue scenarios.
[0003] Existing dry rescue suits typically consist of a one-piece body, neck and wrist seals, integrated socks, airtight zippers, abrasion-resistant reinforcements, reflective markings, and buoyancy accessories. While these meet basic waterproof and protective requirements, they still have significant shortcomings in actual complex rescue operations. Because dry water rescue suits are mostly one-piece designs, they are inconvenient to put on and take off, especially in water. They cannot adjust buoyancy according to the actual environment, and their functional integration is insufficient, with poor tool carrying capacity, making it difficult to meet the needs of complex water operations in all scenarios.
[0004] In summary, existing dry water rescue suits have shortcomings in terms of efficiency, comfort, safety, and functional integration, and cannot fully meet the requirements of combat-oriented, high-efficiency, and highly reliable rescue, thus restricting the overall rescue effectiveness and personnel safety level. Therefore, it is urgent to optimize and improve their structure and materials. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that existing dry water rescue suits have shortcomings in terms of efficiency, comfort, safety, and functional integration, and cannot fully meet the requirements of combat-oriented, high-efficiency, and highly reliable rescue, thus restricting the overall rescue effectiveness and the level of personnel safety protection.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: a dry water rescue suit with an intelligent protective control device, including a one-piece suit. The one-piece suit has a diagonally placed waterproof zipper from the shoulder to the hip on the front. The one-piece suit has a neck seal at the neck position, a wrist seal at the wrist position, and a foot seal at the foot position. The one-piece suit has a back cover with an opening at the bottom on the back. The back cover has a flexible photovoltaic panel inside. The foot seal has retractable fins on both sides to improve swimming efficiency in water. The one-piece suit has an intelligent airbag release mechanism installed around the neck seal.
[0007] The bodysuit has a horizontal waterproof zipper located at the crotch area on the front.
[0008] The neck seal is made of latex / chloroprene rubber, which is highly elastic and fits the neck to prevent water from seeping in through the collar.
[0009] The wrist seal is made of latex / neoprene rubber, and a Velcro strap for adjusting the tightness is provided around the wrist on the outer side of the wrist seal.
[0010] The foot seal is an integrated waterproof sock cover. The upper surface of the foot seal is connected to the retractable fins via Velcro. The retractable fins include an upper mounting cover that is attached to the upper surface of the foot seal, lateral mounting frames that are fitted on both sides of the upper mounting cover, and fins that are elastically hinged to the outside of the lateral mounting frames.
[0011] The bodysuit has a waist strap sewn on for easy storage of items.
[0012] The intelligent airbag release mechanism includes a curved airbag, a protective cover surrounding the curved airbag, an intelligent monitoring module, and a high-pressure air release module.
[0013] The curved airbag and protective cover extend from the back of the neck to the front of the chest, and then from the front of the chest to the back. The protective cover is composed of waterproof and scratch-resistant fabric layered on both sides of the curved airbag.
[0014] The intelligent monitoring module includes a pressure sensor and a water immersion sensor installed on the upper end of the drive airbag. The high-pressure air release module is installed in the front chest position and includes a front mounting base connected to the front air inlet of the curved airbag, a self-manual release mechanism installed inside the front mounting base, and a high-pressure carbon dioxide cylinder threaded to the bottom of the front mounting base. The control end of the self-manual release mechanism is electrically connected to the pressure sensor and the water immersion sensor through a signal control line inside the curved airbag.
[0015] The self-manual release mechanism includes a compression spring installed inside the front mounting box, a pin controlled by the compression spring, an electromagnet for controlling the compression spring, and a manual pull cord.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are: (1) This invention solves the problems of cumbersome dressing and doffing and inconvenient emergency toileting of traditional one-piece rescue suits by combining the oblique waterproof zipper with the horizontal waterproof zipper at the crotch. The waist storage belt enables convenient tool hanging, and the retractable fins can be unfolded or stored as needed, improving swimming efficiency in the water. The multi-structure optimization greatly improves the efficiency of use and the degree of functional integration of the rescue suit. (2) The neck and wrist seals of the present invention are made of high elastic latex / chloroprene rubber. The wrist is equipped with Velcro to adjust the tightness, which can adapt to rescuers of different body types, ensuring the sealing and waterproof effect while improving wearing comfort and avoiding excessive tightness that affects blood circulation. (3) The present invention is equipped with an intelligent airbag release mechanism. The pressure sensor and water immersion sensor monitor the water state and water pressure in real time to realize the intelligent automatic inflation of the airbag. At the same time, it is equipped with a manual pull rope to realize manual release. The dual control mode greatly improves the safety of water rescue. The curved airbag surround structure ensures the stability of buoyancy support. (4) The present invention has a flexible photovoltaic panel on the back, which can be powered by solar energy to provide continuous energy for the intelligent monitoring module and the release mechanism. There is no need to carry additional power supply equipment, which further reduces the workload of rescue personnel and is suitable for the needs of complex water areas in all scenarios.

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.
[0024] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0025] Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The dry water rescue suit shown includes a onesie 1, which is made of a waterproof and breathable three-layer composite fabric. A slanted waterproof zipper 2 is diagonally positioned from the shoulder to the hip on the front of the suit. This slanted waterproof zipper 2 has an airtight and waterproof structure and serves as the main opening for donning and doffing the suit, facilitating quick donning by rescuers. A horizontal waterproof zipper 10 is located at the crotch area on the front of the onesie 1. This horizontal waterproof zipper 10 also has an airtight structure, enabling convenient emergency toilet access without requiring complete removal of the suit. A waist storage belt 11 is sewn onto the waist of the onesie 1. The waist storage belt 11 has multiple waterproof storage compartments for storing rescue tools such as walkie-talkies, rescue knives, and small ropes, improving tool accessibility.
[0026] The bodysuit 1 has a neck seal 3 fixed at the neck position. The neck seal 3 is made of latex or neoprene and adopts an arc-shaped structure that matches the contour of the human neck. It is highly elastic and fits tightly to the neck, effectively preventing water from seeping in from the neckline. The bodysuit 1 also has a wrist seal 4 fixed at the wrist position. The wrist seal 4 is made of latex or neoprene and has Velcro 12 on its outer periphery corresponding to the human wrist. By adjusting the position of the Velcro 12, the tightness of the wrist seal 4 can be flexibly changed to fit wrists of different sizes, balancing sealing effect and wearing comfort.
[0027] The onesie 1 features a one-piece foot seal 5, which is a waterproof sock-like structure that fits snugly against the feet for water protection. A retractable fin 8 is attached to the upper surface of the foot seal 5 via Velcro 12. The retractable fin 8 includes an upper mounting cover 81, a side mounting frame 82, and a fin body 83. The upper mounting cover 81 is glued to the Velcro on the upper surface of the foot seal 5 and wrapped downwards to improve its anti-slip properties. The side mounting frame 82 is fitted onto the outside of the upper mounting cover 81, and the fin body 83 is elastically hinged to the outside of the side mounting frame 82. The fin body 83 can be folded downwards for storage but cannot be flipped upwards, thus not affecting walking on land. This allows the fin body 83 to increase propulsion when kicking downwards, and to reduce resistance when the feet return to their original position by flipping, thereby improving propulsion efficiency in water and reducing the physical exertion of rescuers.
[0028] The bodysuit 1 has a back cover 6 with an opening at the bottom sewn on the back. The back cover 6 is made of waterproof and wear-resistant fabric and has a flexible photovoltaic panel 7 fixed inside. The flexible photovoltaic panel 7 can fit closely to the back of the human body and convert light energy into electrical energy by absorbing solar energy to provide continuous power to the intelligent electrical components of the rescue suit. The opening at the bottom of the back cover 6 is a wiring connection port, which facilitates the wiring connection between the flexible photovoltaic panel 7 and various electrical components.
[0029] The bodysuit 1 has an intelligent airbag release mechanism 9 installed around the neck seal 3. The intelligent airbag release mechanism 9 includes a curved airbag 91, a protective cover 92, an intelligent monitoring module 93, and a high-pressure air release module 94. The curved airbag 91 is a flexible and airtight rubber structure. The protective cover 92 is composed of two layers of waterproof and scratch-resistant fabric, with the two layers of fabric located on both sides of the curved airbag 91 to protect it from being punctured by sharp objects. The curved airbag 91 and the protective cover 92 extend from the back of the neck to the chest and then from the chest to the back, forming a ring-shaped structure to ensure the stability of the buoyancy support after inflation.
[0030] The intelligent monitoring module 93 includes a pressure sensor 931 and a water immersion sensor 932, both of which are installed on the upper part of the curved airbag 91 corresponding to the back of the neck of the human body. The pressure sensor 931 is used to monitor the pressure value of the water environment in real time to determine the depth of the rescuer in the water, and the water immersion sensor 932 is used to detect whether there is water contact in real time to determine whether the rescuer has fallen into the water. The high-pressure air release module 94 is installed on the chest of the onesie 1. It includes a front mounting base 941, a self-operated manual release mechanism 942, and a high-pressure carbon dioxide tank 943. The front mounting base 941 is connected to the front air inlet of the curved airbag 91 to serve as a gas delivery channel. The self-operated manual release mechanism 942 is installed inside the front mounting base 941. The high-pressure carbon dioxide tank 943 is threaded onto the bottom of the front mounting base 941 for easy replacement. The control end of the self-operated manual release mechanism 942 is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 931 and the water immersion sensor 932 through the signal control line inside the curved airbag 91 to realize real-time signal transmission.
[0031] The self-operated release mechanism 942 includes a compression spring 9421, a push pin 9422, an electromagnet 9423, and a manual pull rope 9424. All of the above components are installed inside the front mounting base 941. The compression spring 9421 abuts against the push pin 9422, providing the push pin 9422 with the push-out force. The electromagnet 9423 is used to control the compression and rebound of the compression spring 9421. Under normal conditions, the electromagnet 9423 is energized and attracts the compression spring 9421, which is in a compressed state. The push pin 9422 does not contact the high-pressure carbon dioxide gas tank 943. One end of the manual pull rope 9424 is connected to the push pin 9422, and the other end extends to the outside of the onesie 1, making it convenient for rescuers to pull manually.
[0032] The working principle and process of this invention: Before carrying out a water rescue mission, rescuers unzip the diagonally placed waterproof zipper 2 and put on the bodysuit 1. After zipping it up, they adjust the Velcro 12 around the wrist seal 4 according to their own body shape so that the neck seal 3, wrist seal 4, and foot seal 5 are all tightly fitted to the body to ensure the overall sealing and waterproof effect. The rescue tools are classified and stored in the waist storage belt 11. The assembly tightness of the high-pressure carbon dioxide gas cylinder 943 is checked. The flexible photovoltaic panel 7 absorbs solar energy under natural light to power the pressure sensor 931, water immersion sensor 932, and electromagnet 9423.
[0033] When rescuers are working on land or in shallow water, the retractable fins 83 can be folded upwards for storage without affecting limb movement. When entering deep water and needing to improve swimming efficiency, the fins 83 can be unfolded downwards, increasing propulsion in the water through leg movements. If a rescuer accidentally falls into the water, the water immersion sensor 932 detects water contact, and the pressure sensor 931 detects that the water pressure exceeds a preset threshold. The two detection signals are transmitted to the control terminal of the manual release mechanism 942 via the signal control line. The control terminal immediately de-energizes the electromagnet 9423, causing the electromagnet 9423 to lose its attraction to the compression spring 9421. The compression spring 9421 quickly rebounds, pushing the pin 9422 to open the valve of the high-pressure carbon dioxide canister 943. High-pressure carbon dioxide gas enters the curved airbag 91 through the front mounting seat 941, causing the curved airbag 91 to inflate rapidly. The curved airbag 91, which surrounds the neck, chest, and back, generates sufficient buoyancy, lifting the rescuer's head and chest above the water and preventing the risk of drowning.
[0034] If rescuers need to actively increase buoyancy during operations, they can directly pull the manual pull rope 9424 extending to the outside of the onesie 1. The manual pull rope 9424 pulls the pin 9422 towards the high-pressure carbon dioxide tank 943, opening the valve to inflate the curved airbag 91 and manually replenish buoyancy. If emergency toilet use is required during the rescue, simply unzip the horizontal waterproof zipper 10 at the crotch. After use, unzip the horizontal waterproof zipper 10 to restore the seal, without having to remove the entire rescue suit.
[0035] After the rescue mission is completed, the retractable flippers 8 are put away in their initial state, the slanted waterproof zipper 2 is opened to remove the bodysuit 1, the exhaust valve of the curved airbag 91 is opened to release the internal gas, the bodysuit 1 is rinsed with fresh water and dried, the integrity of each seal, waterproof zipper and sensor is checked, and the failed high-pressure carbon dioxide gas canister 943 is replaced for subsequent reuse.
[0036] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
