[0048] When a car falls into water, a large amount of water will flood the car. The occupants will have to wait until the water level inside the car reaches the water cut-off point before they can open the car door. During this waiting period, the occupants are very likely to choke or drown.

[0049] Based on this, this application provides an air supply device for a car, which can be quickly activated to provide air for the driver and passengers to breathe after they realize that the car has fallen into the water; in addition, the air supply device has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0050] For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 An air supply device for an automobile provided in this application embodiment includes a first storage box 10, a breathing tube 20, a float component 30, and a cover opening assembly 40.

[0051] The first storage box 10 is installed on the car body 70. The specific location of the first storage box 10 on the car body 70 includes, but is not limited to, the roof, side door, and trunk of the car body 70. This embodiment of the application takes the installation of the first storage box 10 on the roof of the car body 70 as an example.

[0052] Specifically, the first storage box 10 has a lid 11 and a box body 12. The lid 11 is openable and closable and connected to the box body 12, and the box body 12 is mounted on the housing 70. The connection between the lid 11 and the box body 12 includes, but is not limited to, hinges.

[0053] The breathing tube 20 has a first section 21 and a second section 22. The first section 21 is housed in a first storage box 10, and the second section 22 is located outside the box 12 and extends into the interior space of the vehicle. The second section 22 is close to the driver and passengers and the interior of the vehicle, so that the driver and passengers can quickly and easily access the second section 22 of the breathing tube 20, thereby supplying air to the driver and passengers through the breathing tube 20.

[0054] The float 30 is located inside the first storage box 10. When the car falls into the water, the driver and passengers turn on the air supply device, which means that after the cover 11 is opened relative to the box 12, the float 30 can detach from the first storage box 10 due to its own buoyancy. During the process of the float 30 detaching from the first storage box 10 and floating on the water surface, the end of the first section of the tube 21 floats on the water surface at the same time as the float 30, so that the end of the first section of the breathing tube 20 can be connected to the air. The air is transmitted from the end of the first section of the tube 21 to the end of the second section of the tube 22, thereby supplying air to the driver and passengers in the car in the water.

[0055] The cover 11 can be opened relative to the box 12 under the action of the cover opening assembly 40. At least a part of the structure of the cover opening assembly 40 is located in the interior space of the vehicle so that the driver and passengers can access at least a part of the structure of the cover opening assembly 40, thereby enabling the cover 11 to be opened relative to the box 12.

[0056] When the occupants of the vehicle realize that the vehicle has fallen into the water, they can activate the opening assembly 40 located inside the vehicle to open the cover 11 relative to the box 12. This allows the float 30, along with the first section of the tube 21, to float to the surface of the water, and enables the occupants to breathe through the breathing tube 20. This significantly reduces the risk of choking or drowning when the vehicle falls into the water. In addition, the air supply device has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, a torsion spring (not shown in the figure) is connected between the cover 11 and the box 12. When the cover 11 is opened relative to the box 12 under the action of the cover opening assembly 40, the cover 11 can open a larger opening relative to the box 12 under the action of the torsion spring, so that the float 30 can be more smoothly separated from the first storage box 10, ensuring the air supply for the occupants of the car after it falls into the water.

[0058] In one alternative embodiment, please refer to Figure 3The cover assembly 40 includes a switch 41 and a latch 42. The switch 41 is connected to the latch 42. The switch 41 is located in the interior space of the vehicle for easy access by the driver and passengers. The cover 11 is closed to the box 12 by the latch 42. The latch 42 can be unlocked by the switch 41 so that the cover 11 can be opened relative to the box 12.

[0059] When the occupants of the car realize that the car has fallen into the water, they can contact the switch 41 and act on it to unlock the latch 42, thereby allowing the cover 11 to open relative to the box 12.

[0060] The specific structures of the switch 41 and the latch 42 can be configured according to requirements, and this application embodiment does not impose specific limitations. For example, the switch 41 is a pull cord 411, and the latch 42 is a pin 421. The pin 421 enables the cover 11 to close onto the box 12. The driver or passenger can pull the pull cord 411 to pull the pin 421, thereby allowing the cover 11 to open relative to the box 12.

[0061] Furthermore, the locking member 42 is installed on the side of the housing 12, and the cover 11 has a limiting part 110 on the side near the housing 12. The locking member 42 is inserted into the limiting part 110 so that the cover 11 closes onto the housing 12. When the driver or passenger applies the switch 41, the locking member 42 disengages from the limiting part 110, thereby allowing the cover 11 to open relative to the housing 12. For example, the limiting part 110 is a protrusion 111 extending from the cover 11, and the protrusion 111 has a insertion hole (not shown in the figure) that matches the pin 421.

[0062] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the float 30 always floats on the water surface, the breathing tube 20 is provided with a sufficient length of slack, and the first section 21 of the breathing tube 20 is stacked around the first storage box 10.

[0063] Preferably, the switch 41 is located in a position that the driver can reach.

[0064] In one alternative embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 To prevent passengers from accidentally triggering the switch 41, the switch 41 is housed within the vehicle body 70 using a top cover 80. The top cover 80 can be opened or detachably connected to the vehicle body 70. When passengers realize that the vehicle has fallen into the water, they can open the top cover 80 first before activating the switch 41, greatly reducing the possibility of accidentally triggering the switch 41.

[0065] Furthermore, a limiting protrusion 81 is provided on one edge of the top cover 80, which can limit the position of the top cover 80 relative to the vehicle body 70. This top cover 80 can not only reduce the possibility of passengers accidentally triggering the switch 41, but also improve the integrity and aesthetics of the vehicle interior.

[0066] Because of the bumps and jolts that occur during normal driving, the first section 21 of the snorkel 20 can easily become entangled. When the car falls into the water, it may be unable to float on the surface of the water with the float 30 due to the entanglement of the snorkel 20.

[0067] Based on this, the air supply device of this application embodiment uses the first limiting member 51 to limit the first section 21 of the surrounding stacked breathing tube 20, so as to greatly reduce the possibility of the first section 21 of the breathing tube 20 becoming entangled.

[0068] For details, please refer to Figure 2 The air supply device includes a first limiting member 51. Multiple first limiting members 51 form an annular structure and protrude and connect to the bottom surface inside the box 12. Multiple first limiting members 51 are used to limit the position of the stacked first section tube 21 inside the box 12. Using the first limiting member 51 to limit the first section tube 21 of the breathing tube 20 can greatly reduce the possibility of the first section tube 21 getting tangled due to vehicle bumps.

[0069] Furthermore, the multiple first limiting members 51 form a circular structure, thereby enabling the first segment 21 of the breathing tube 20 to be housed within the box 12 in a circular structure, which improves the positional stability of the stacked breathing tubes 20 within the box 12. Additionally, the circular structure significantly reduces the risk of obstructed airflow due to localized stress on the breathing tube 20. Of course, the annular structure can also be elliptical; this embodiment does not impose a specific limitation.

[0070] In an optional embodiment, the first limiting member 51 is provided with a limiting groove 511, the opening of the limiting groove 511 facing the cover 11, and the first section tube 21 is wound around the limiting groove 511 of the multiple first limiting members 51.

[0071] The opening of the limiting groove 511 faces the cover 11, which can prevent the first limiting member 51 from obstructing the breathing tube 20 during the process of the float member 30 floating towards the water surface, and can ensure that the float member 30 floats to the water surface with the first section 21 of the breathing tube 20.

[0072] It should be noted that when the first section of tube 21 is stored in the first storage box 10, it is wrapped around the limiting grooves 511 of multiple first limiting members 51, starting from the part of the first section of tube 21 closest to the second section of tube 22, and the first section of tube 21 is stacked sequentially from the box body 12 toward the cover body 11. In this way, when the air supply device is turned on, the float 30 carries the first section of tube 21 of the breathing tube 20 in the limiting groove 511 and floats toward the water surface, and allows the first section of tube 21 of the breathing tube 20 to detach from the limiting groove 511 from the cover body 11 toward the box body 12, greatly reducing the possibility of the first section of tube 21 of the breathing tube 20 getting tangled while floating toward the water surface.

[0073] In an optional embodiment, the end of the first section 21 of the breathing tube 20 is connected to the top of the float 30, and the opening at the end of the first section 21 faces the float 30. This can greatly reduce the blockage of the opening at the end of the first section 21 by debris in the water during the upward floating process, and further ensure the air supply for the occupants of the car after it falls into the water. Figure 2 The diagram shows the internal structure of the first storage box 10. Figure 2 The diagram also shows that the end of the first tube 21 has a bend 211, so that the opening at the end of the first tube 21 faces the float 30.

[0074] In an optional embodiment, the air supply device further includes a second limiting member 52. A plurality of second limiting members 52 protrude from the bottom surface inside the housing 12 and surround the float member 30, and are used to limit the position of the float member 30 on the housing 12.

[0075] The second limiting member 52 can greatly reduce the positional movement of the float member 30 caused by the bumps generated during normal vehicle driving, and further greatly reduce the positional movement of the first section 21 of the breathing tube 20 caused by the positional movement of the float member 30, thereby ensuring that the air supply device can be smoothly turned on after the vehicle falls into the water, and improving the safety of the driver and passengers.

[0076] For example, the second limiting member 52 is a limiting plate 521, and multiple limiting plates 521 protrude from the bottom surface of the box body 12.

[0077] It should be noted that there is a gap between the second limiting member 52 and the float member 30 to ensure that after the air supply device is turned on, the float member 30 can move away from the second limiting member 52 under its own buoyancy and float on the water surface.

[0078] In one alternative embodiment, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 The air supply device also includes a second storage box 60, which is used to store part of the second section pipe 22. The second storage box 60 is installed on the housing 70 near the interior space of the vehicle.

[0079] This can be understood as follows: the second storage box 60 connects the driver / passenger to the first storage box 10. When the car falls into the water, the driver / passenger can activate the switch 41 to retrieve the end of the second tube 22 and place it in their mouth or nostril to maintain airflow through the breathing tube 20. The second tube 22 is partially stored in the second storage box 60 to ensure that the second tube 22 has sufficient length to meet the breathing needs of passengers in different seats when retrieved; even when occupants escape from the car, they can still obtain air from the second tube 22.

[0080] Specifically, the second storage box 60 has a first through hole and a second through hole, and the two ends of a portion of the second section tube 22 extend from the first through hole and the second through hole to the outside of the second storage box 60, respectively. One end of the portion of the second section tube 22 extends to its end, and the other end extends to the first section tube 21.

[0081] It should be noted that when storing part of the second section tube 22 in the second storage box 60, the end of the second section tube 22 is inserted into the interior of the second storage box 60 and extends out of the second storage box 60 from the other end. Part of the second section tube 22 is laid flat and overlapped inside the second storage box 60 so that when the driver or passenger takes out the second section tube 22, the second section tube 22 can be smoothly removed from the second storage box 60, and the driver or passenger can obtain a breathing tube 20 of sufficient length.

[0082] In an optional embodiment, the second storage box 60 is connected to a plurality of mounting members 61 at its edge, the plurality of mounting members 61 being used to mount the second storage box 60 onto the vehicle body 70.

[0083] Furthermore, the air supply device also includes a third limiting member 53. Multiple third limiting members 53 protrude from the inner wall surface of the second storage box 60. When the second section tube 22 moves relative to the second storage box 60, the outer wall of the second section tube 22 abuts against the side wall of the third limiting member 53, thereby enabling the third limiting member 53 to limit and guide the second section tube 22, greatly reducing the possibility of the second section tube 22 getting tangled.

[0084] For example, the third limiting member 53 is a boss 531 protruding from the inner wall surface of the second storage box 60. Of course, the third limiting member 53 is not limited to this.

[0085] In one alternative embodiment, the float component 30 is made of foam, but it is not limited to this. For example, the float component 30 may be made of plastic or wood, and it may also be an inflatable component.

[0086] This application also provides a vehicle including the air supply device for the vehicle provided in any of the above embodiments. This air supply device can supply air to the occupants of the vehicle after it has fallen into water, and it is easy to operate, providing timely air supply to the occupants and improving their safety after the vehicle has fallen into water.

[0087] It should be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and are not intended to encompass all possible implementations included in the claims. Various modifications and changes can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope of this disclosure. Similarly, the various technical features of the above embodiments can be arbitrarily combined to form other embodiments of this application that may not be explicitly described. Therefore, the above embodiments only illustrate several implementations of this application and do not limit the scope of protection of this patent application.
