Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a combined life-saving device, belonging to the technical field of life-saving equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Lifebuoys, as common water rescue equipment, are widely used in various water-related scenarios. Especially in recent years, cities have expanded infrastructure construction, building numerous waterfront projects and creating abundant waterfront spaces, such as waterfront platforms, plazas, tidal bore viewing embankments, waterfront parks, and wetland parks. While these diverse waterfront spaces offer citizens a rich waterfront experience, the risk of falling into the water has also increased. Therefore, water rescue equipment and devices have become crucial safeguards for people enjoying waterfront living.

[0003] The core function of a lifebuoy is to provide buoyancy, helping a person who has fallen into the water to float on the surface and avoid sinking and drowning. According to relevant national standards in my country, the outer diameter of a lifebuoy should generally not exceed 760 mm, and the inner diameter should not be less than 440 mm. This size standard ensures sufficient buoyancy while also making it easy for a person in the water to grip and hold onto, while also considering convenience for use and storage in different water environments. Its ring-shaped structure makes it easy for a person in the water to grab or hold onto it. Additionally, some lifebuoys are equipped with reflective strips, making it easier for rescuers to quickly spot the lifebuoy at night or in inclement weather. If the lifebuoy has a connecting rope, rescuers can use the connecting rope to slowly pull the person in the water back to shore.

[0004] Currently, lifebuoys face numerous challenges in practical applications. Technically, traditional lifebuoys have a narrow rescue area; when thrown, they are difficult to accurately target the person in the water, and their small diameter makes it difficult for the person to quickly approach and grab them. Furthermore, one lifebuoy is insufficient to cover multiple people in the water. In terms of management, many public places suffer from insufficient numbers of lifebuoys and improper placement. In terms of usage, some people are unfamiliar with how to use lifebuoys, and there are even instances of them being misused or damaged, further weakening their emergency rescue capabilities. Figure 5 As shown, binding lifebuoys with cable ties weakens their functionality in emergencies. Hanging lifebuoys in indiscriminate locations such as railings also makes their placement in waterfront areas appear haphazard and lacking in visibility.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, it is indeed necessary to provide an innovative combined life-saving device to overcome the defects in the prior art. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0024] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown, this utility model is a combined rescue device that integrates both normal and rescue functions, combining convenience and practicality. "Normal and rescue" refers to the two usage states of normal use and rescue. "Integrated" means that this utility model can realize two important functions in one rescue device, including a rescue tube 1, reflective strip 2, locking teeth 3, locking groove 4, connecting buckle 5, connecting rope 6, and bracket. In the normal state, after assembly, it has the function of a seat. In the rescue state, after disassembly, it has the function of a life ring.

[0025] Life-saving tube 1 is cylindrical in shape with rounded edges for a comfortable feel. It is made of high-molecular-weight, high-density synthetic material, possessing properties of corrosion resistance, freeze resistance, oxidation resistance, and UV resistance. It is unaffected by seawater, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, oil stains, and aquatic organisms, and is pollution-free and environmentally friendly. The specific dimensions of life-saving tube 1 are 900mm (length) × 120mm (width) × 120mm (height). Life-saving tube 1 is filled with a foam core to enhance buoyancy, lightness, and durability. The foam filling also improves the resistance of life-saving tube 1, effectively preventing deformation.

[0026] The life jacket 1 has two ring-shaped reflective strips 2 fixed on both sides. These reflective strips are mainly made of glass bead-type reflective film or microprism-type reflective film material. The reflective strips 2 can significantly improve the visibility of the life jacket in dim or nighttime environments, giving the wearer more opportunities to be spotted.

[0027] On the four long sides of the life-saving cylinder 1, there are locking teeth 3 or locking slots 4. Each long side has a pair of locking teeth 3 or a pair of locking slots 4, with the locking teeth 3 adjacent to each other and the locking slots 4 adjacent to each other. The locking teeth 3 and locking slots 4 fit together, similar to a mortise and tenon joint. This is used to fix two life-saving cylinders 1 together horizontally or vertically.

[0028] Each end of the rescue cylinder 1 has a connecting buckle 5, which is connected to the rescue cylinder 1 or a support frame via a connecting rope 6. Specifically, two adjacent rescue cylinders 1 in the horizontal or vertical direction are connected by the connecting rope 6 to form a row of three rescue cylinders 1. The three rescue cylinders 1 are connected end to end, and the maximum unfolded length can exceed 3 meters, greatly increasing the rescue coverage area. The three rescue cylinders 1 are connected by the connecting rope 6 and can be freely combined, allowing multiple people to be rescued simultaneously in the water, greatly increasing the chances of survival. The connecting rope 6 can also control the direction of throwing and retrieval, and can fix and pull the person in the water. After the rescue is successfully carried out, the person in the water can be pulled back, completing the rescue loop.

[0029] The tooth 3 has a 5mm wide slot 31, which is used to fix and clamp onto the bracket.

[0030] The support frame includes two support rods 71, each L-shaped and 50mm wide and 5mm thick metal. After the nine life tanks 1 are fixed together, the bottom of the support rods 71 ​​engages with the slots 31 at the bottom of the life tank assembly. The bottoms of the two support rods 71 ​​are connected to support strips 72 for fixing to the ground. Expansion bolts are used on the support strips 72 to secure the frame to the ground, thus fixing the life tank assembly. The middle of the support rods 71 ​​engages with the slots 31 on the side walls of the life tank assembly. Support strips 73 for supporting the back of the user are installed at the top of the two support rods 71. The portion of the support rods 71 ​​above the life tank assembly serves as the backrest of the seat, further enhancing the resting function of this invention.

[0031] The working principle of this combined life-saving device is as follows: First, in normal conditions, the nine life tanks 1 are fixed together by the locking teeth 3 and the locking grooves 4, stacked to form a 3×3 structure, and the gaps 31 between the bottom and the side wall of the life tank 1 are installed on the support rod 71 to realize the function of stopping and resting.

[0032] In the event of a drowning incident, the rescue cylinder set should be immediately disassembled into three groups, with three rescue cylinders in each group. Each group of rescue equipment can cover an area of ​​more than three meters, providing better coverage and increasing the chances of escape for the person.

[0033] The above-described specific embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this invention and are not intended to limit this invention.
