Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rescue equipment technology, specifically to a floating rescue rope for water, rescue equipment, and a water rescue system. Background Technology
[0002] In rescue scenarios involving people falling into the water in large bodies of water, large vessels are limited by their draft and maneuverability, making it difficult to directly approach and rescue the people in the water. They often need to use rescue equipment such as rubber boats, life rings, life jackets, nets, hanging nets, and baskets to carry out the operation.
[0003] When people who have fallen into the water are located far from large ships and relatively scattered, existing rescue methods face significant challenges. Inflatable boats, as the primary rescue vehicle, are limited by their capacity, speed, and operational flexibility, resulting in a limited coverage area for a single rescue. Furthermore, during prolonged waiting periods, people in the water are easily drifted and dispersed by currents, leading to a wider distribution and increased difficulty in locating them. This not only delays the optimal rescue opportunity but also significantly increases the manpower and material costs of subsequent search and rescue operations. In particular, transferring exhausted or disoriented individuals from the water to inflatable boats is hampered by factors such as currents and waves, making rescue efficiency difficult to improve.
[0004] Therefore, existing technologies are insufficient to meet the needs of rapid, efficient, and comprehensive emergency rescue, and there is an urgent need to innovate rescue technologies and equipment to overcome the aforementioned bottlenecks. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the limitation of the water rescue range in the prior art, and to provide a floating rescue rope and rescue equipment for water.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a floating rescue rope for water use, comprising: a main rope, one end of which is detachably connected to a small water rescue vehicle; and multiple flexible floats, each of which is detachably connected to the main rope, with adjacent flexible floats arranged at a preset interval. Each flexible float includes a float material, an outer cover, and a webbing. One end of the webbing is connected to the outer surface of the outer cover, and the other end is detachably connected to the main rope, and its connection position with the main rope can be adjusted. The float material is filled inside the outer cover so that the multiple flexible floats drift and diffuse with the water flow.
[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, a filling port is provided on one side of the outer cover, and the floating material is filled into the interior of the outer cover through the filling port.
[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, the flexible float further includes a sealing member, which is disposed around the filling port to seal the filling port.
[0009] In one embodiment of this utility model, the sealing element is one of hook and loop fastener, zipper, drawstring, or magnetic fastener.
[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, the main rope includes a body and a vehicle connecting buckle. One end of the body is bent and fixed to form a bent loop. The vehicle connecting buckle passes through the bent loop and is connected to the small water rescue vehicle.
[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the main rope further includes a plurality of connecting rope loops, which are connected to the main body at a preset interval, and the plurality of connecting rope loops are connected to the plurality of flexible floats in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the flexible float further includes a float connecting buckle, which is threaded through the webbing and connected to the connecting rope loop.
[0013] In one embodiment of this utility model, the preset interval distance is 1 to 10 meters.
[0014] This utility model also provides a rescue device, which includes the above-mentioned water-based floating rescue rope and rubber boat. One end of the water-based floating rescue rope is connected to the rubber boat, and the other end drifts and spreads with the water flow.
[0015] This utility model also provides a water rescue system, which includes multiple of the above-mentioned rescue devices.
[0016] The above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0017] The floating rescue rope, rescue equipment, and water rescue system described in this utility model use a main rope as a connecting element to which multiple flexible floats can be detachably connected. These flexible floats can float on the water surface and drift with the current, thereby expanding the coverage area of the main rope. Based on this, even with small rescue vehicles, simultaneous rescue of dispersed individuals within a certain area is possible. Compared to conventional rescue ropes and other rescue equipment, this application offers advantages such as ease of use, wide rescue range, high practicality and flexibility, and compatibility with different vehicles, making it a promising candidate for use in the field of water rescue equipment.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0024] Example 1:
[0025] It should be noted that, currently, in water rescue operations, large rescue vehicles such as specialized rescue boats and warships have extremely limited applications in complex scenarios such as shallow waters, reefs, or narrow waterways due to their deep draft, large turning radius, and poor maneuverability. Furthermore, they cannot directly approach and rescue those in the water. While small rescue vehicles, such as rubber boats and inflatable boats, can reach areas inaccessible to larger vessels due to their agility and light weight, their size and capacity limit their rescue coverage. When dealing with scattered individuals in the water, repeated back-and-forth operations are required, leading to low rescue efficiency. In addition, traditional rescue methods often rely on individual equipment such as lifebuoys and life jackets for dispersed rescues, lacking systematic and large-scale rescue capabilities, making it difficult to handle group incidents. Therefore, this application addresses these issues by developing a rescue rope that can expand the rescue range and efficiency of small rescue vehicles. The aim is to achieve rapid encirclement and mass transfer of those in the water through innovative structural design, effectively compensating for the shortcomings of existing rescue equipment.
[0026] See Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a floating rescue rope for water use, which includes a main rope 100, one end of which is detachably connected to a small water rescue vehicle; and multiple flexible floats 200, each of which is detachably connected to the main rope 100, with adjacent flexible floats 200 arranged at a preset interval. Each flexible float 200 includes a float material 210, an outer cover 220, and a webbing 230. One end of the webbing 230 is connected to the outer surface of the outer cover 220, and the other end is detachably connected to the main rope 100, and its connection position with the main rope 100 can be adjusted. The float material 210 fills the interior of the outer cover 220 so that the multiple flexible floats 200 drift and diffuse with the water flow.
[0027] The main rope 100, as the core connecting carrier of the rescue rope, is detachably connected at one end to a small water rescue vehicle (such as an inflatable boat or speedboat). Its functions are mainly reflected in three aspects: First, it provides basic mechanical support for the entire rescue rope, requiring high strength and wear resistance to withstand the pulling force of the inflatable boat and the load generated by the pull of the person in the water during the rescue, avoiding the risk of breakage. Second, its detachable connection to the rescue vehicle facilitates the rapid installation and removal of the rescue rope, improving rescue preparation efficiency. Third, the main rope 100 serves as the link connecting multiple flexible floats 200, determining the overall length and coverage area of the rescue rope, and can be adjusted according to actual rescue needs.
[0028] Further, see Figure 2 As shown, the main rope 100 includes a body 110 and a vehicle connecting buckle 120. One end of the body 110 is bent and fixed to form a bent loop 111. The vehicle connecting buckle 120 passes through the bent loop 111 and is connected to the small water rescue vehicle. Specifically, the body 110 is woven from high-strength fiber material, possessing extremely high tensile strength and wear resistance. It can withstand the pulling force of a small water rescue vehicle (such as a rubber boat) and the load generated by a person grabbing onto it, preventing breakage during the rescue process and ensuring the safety of the rescue operation. Furthermore, one end of the body 110 is bent and fixed to form a closed bent loop 111 through a hot-pressing and weaving edge locking process, providing an installation base for the vehicle connecting buckle 120. The length of the body 110 directly determines the coverage range of the rescue rope and can be customized according to the needs of the actual rescue scenario. This utility model does not impose specific limitations in this regard. The longer body 110 allows the rescue rope to cover a larger area of water, making it suitable for open water or situations where people who have fallen into the water are scattered; the shorter body 110 is suitable for narrow water or close-range rescues, making it easier to maneuver.
[0029] Furthermore, the vehicle connecting buckle 120 serves as a quick-connect hub between the vehicle and the main rope 100. After passing through the bending loop 111 of the main body 110, it connects to the small water rescue vehicle. It typically employs high-strength metal shackles, quick-release clips, and other structures, making it easy to operate. Rescuers can quickly install or remove the rescue rope from the vehicle, greatly improving rescue response speed. In different embodiments, the vehicle connecting buckle 120 can also be designed with omnidirectional rotation, allowing the rescue rope to freely change direction during traction, adapting to complex water currents and rescue paths.
[0030] Furthermore, the main rope 100 also includes a plurality of connecting rope loops 130, which are connected to the main body 110 at preset intervals, and each of the connecting rope loops 130 is connected to a plurality of flexible floats 200 in a one-to-one correspondence. In different embodiments, to improve the flexibility of the main rope 100, a greater number of connecting rope loops 130 can be provided, allowing the flexible floats 200 to have more connection points to suit more application scenarios. In different embodiments, the base material of the main rope 100 can be configured as reflective filament or a hybrid night vision material to enable it to have night vision capabilities; this invention does not impose specific limitations in this regard.
[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple flexible floats 200 are arranged on the main rope 100 at preset intervals, collectively constructing a large rescue coverage area. The interval between adjacent flexible floats 200 is typically configured to be between 1 and 10 meters, thus ensuring that people in the water can contact the floats within a certain range while avoiding the flexibility and spread of the rescue rope due to excessively close spacing. Furthermore, each flexible float 200 possesses good flexibility, capable of adapting to the undulations of water waves, reducing the risk of collision and injury to people in the water, and simultaneously improving the adaptability of the rescue rope in complex water flow environments.
[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the float material 210 is the core component for generating buoyancy in the flexible float 200. In this embodiment, it is preferably made of pearl cotton material with low density and high buoyancy. In different embodiments, it can also be configured as a closed-cell foam or other material with the same high buoyancy. This utility model does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0033] The outer cover 220 encloses the float material 210, providing protection and sealing. Made of waterproof and wear-resistant material, it prevents buoyancy loss due to water absorption by the float material 210. Simultaneously, the outer cover 220 resists scratches from floating debris, UV radiation, and water erosion, extending the lifespan of the float and ensuring good performance even under long-term use or harsh environments. Furthermore, the outer cover 220 provides structural support for the float material 210, maintaining the overall shape of the float and ensuring stable floating on the water surface. Further, a filling port is provided on one side of the outer cover 220, through which the float material 210 fills the interior of the outer cover 220. Correspondingly, the flexible float 200 also includes a sealing member 240, which surrounds the filling port to seal it. When the float 210 is damaged, aged, or requires adjustment of its buoyancy performance, the old float 210 can be removed through the filling port and replaced with a new float 210, reducing the maintenance difficulty and cost of the float and enabling the rescue rope to maintain good rescue performance.
[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the sealing element 240 is preferably a hook and loop fastener. In different embodiments, the sealing element 240 can be configured as a zipper, drawstring, or magnetic fastener according to actual usage requirements. This utility model does not impose any specific restrictions on this.
[0035] In this embodiment, the webbing 230 serves a dual purpose as a key component connecting the flexible float 200 and the main rope 100. On one hand, one end is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the outer cover 220, providing a gripping point for rescuers or people in the water, facilitating the manipulation of the float or securing it for leverage. On the other hand, the other end is detachably connected to the main rope 100, and both the connection position and length are adjustable. This adjustable design allows the flexible float 200 to flexibly adjust its position and spacing on the main rope 100 according to the actual rescue scenario and the distribution of people in the water, improving the adaptability of the rescue rope.
[0036] Specifically, the flexible float 200 in this embodiment also includes a float connecting buckle 250, which is threaded through the webbing 230 and connected to the connecting rope loop 130. Its structural configuration is the same as that of the vehicle connecting buckle 120, and will not be described in detail here.
[0037] Based on the above structural design, in actual use, the floating rescue rope can be thrown to the water surface by a small vehicle. It can move with the water flow to approach people in different locations who need to be rescued, and carry out synchronous rescue through the small vehicle, thereby increasing the chances of survival for those who fall into the water.
[0038] Example 2:
[0039] This embodiment provides a rescue device, which includes the water-based floating rescue rope and the rubber boat described in Embodiment 1. One end of the water-based floating rescue rope is connected to the rubber boat, and the other end drifts and spreads with the water flow.
[0040] Example 3:
[0041] The water rescue system includes multiple rescue devices as described in Embodiment 2. In summary, the floating rescue rope, rescue devices, and water rescue system of this utility model provide a connecting body via a main rope 100, to which multiple flexible floats 200 are detachably connected. These flexible floats 200 can float on the water surface and drift with the current, thereby expanding the coverage area of the main rope 100. Based on this, even with small rescue vehicles, it is possible to conduct batch rescues of dispersed personnel within a certain range. Compared to conventional rescue ropes and other rescue equipment, this application has advantages such as ease of use, wide rescue range, high practicality and flexibility, and adaptability to different vehicles, and has broad application prospects in the field of water rescue equipment.
[0042] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
