Description

A connecting device for multi-chamber inflatable boat Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of inflatable boats, in particular to a communication device for multi-chamber inflatable boats. Background Art

[0002] An inflatable boat is an inflatable boat, mostly made of rubber, hence the name "slippery boat." It can be compressed when deflated and is powered by a motor or human power. To improve the safety and reliability of an inflatable boat and prevent sudden damage to the air chamber and the total leakage of gas, elastic partitions are typically used to divide the air chamber into several sealed compartments of similar size, each equipped with an inflation device. Existing multi-chamber inflatable boats have nozzles or inflation devices installed on each chamber, requiring users to inflate and deflate each chamber individually, which is inconvenient.

[0003] The Chinese invention patent with publication number CN115675730A discloses "a multi-chamber inflatable boat and its inflation and deflation method". Two adjacent air chambers are connected by a ventilation device, which includes a pipe and a valve. The two adjacent air chambers are connected through the inside of the pipe. The pipe is connected to a valve, which includes a valve body and a knob. The valve body is located inside the air chamber and the knob is located outside the inflatable boat. The pipe and valve of the ventilation device are arranged inside the air chamber of the inflatable boat body. The installation is complicated. The pipe is easy to fall off or age during long-term use, which is inconvenient for maintenance and replacement. The knob arranged on the outside of the inflatable boat body has no protective measures and is easy to be damaged or misoperated, causing gas leakage in the air chamber, posing a safety hazard. Technical issues

[0004] In existing multi-chamber inflatable boats, each air chamber is provided with an air nozzle or an inflation device, and the user needs to inflate and deflate the multiple air chambers one by one, which is inconvenient to operate. The Chinese invention patent with publication number CN115675730A discloses "A multi-chamber inflatable boat and its inflation and deflation method". Two adjacent air chambers are connected by a ventilation device, and the pipes and valves of the ventilation device are arranged inside the air chamber of the inflatable boat body. The installation is complicated, and the pipes are prone to fall off or age during long-term use, which is inconvenient to repair and replace. The knob arranged on the outside of the inflatable boat body has no protective measures and is easily damaged or misoperated, causing gas leakage in the air chamber, posing a safety hazard. In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a connecting device for multi-chamber inflatable boats. Technical Solutions

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a communication device for a multi-chamber inflatable boat.

The push switch 6 is located at the top of the base plate 1, and an elastic cover body 3 is provided above the base plate 1. In this embodiment, the user presses the elastic cover body 3 downward to open or close the push switch 6. The elastic cover body 3 and the base plate 1 are sealed and a cavity channel 4 is provided between the elastic cover body 3 and the base plate 1. In this embodiment, when the two push switches 6 are closed, the cavity channel 4 is a closed cavity provided between the elastic cover body 3 and the base plate 1. When the two push switches 6 are opened, the two push-type inflation nozzles 2 and the cavity channel 4 form a channel for air circulation.

[0020] In this embodiment, preferably, the elastic cover 3 is provided with two protrusions 5 , which cooperate with the push switch 6 , and the user can accurately control the push switch 6 to open or close by pushing the protrusion 5 downward.

[0022] S1. Open mounting holes on the top of the inflatable hull 7 on both sides of the partition 8, and make the distance between the two mounting holes the same as the distance between the two push-type inflation nozzles 2;

[0023] S2. Insert the lower parts of the two push-type inflation nozzles 2 of the multi-chamber inflatable boat communication device through the two mounting holes and into the interiors of the two air chambers 9;

[0024] S3. The bottom of the bottom plate 1 is sealed and connected to the top of the inflatable hull 7.

[0025] The inflation and deflation method comprises the following steps:

[0026] S4, press the two protrusions 5 to turn on the push switches 6 of the two push-type inflation nozzles 2, so that the two adjacent air chambers 9 are connected through the multi-chamber inflatable boat connecting device;

[0027] S5. Turn on the vacuuming or inflation function of the vacuuming and inflation device 10. The gas circulates under the action of the vacuuming and inflation device 10. The gas enters the cavity channel 4 from the lower part of the push-type inflation nozzle 2 in one of the air chambers 9, and then enters the other air chamber 9 through the other push-type inflation nozzle 2 until the vacuuming or inflation operation of the inflatable hull 7 is completed.

[0028] As shown in Figure 4, a method for inflating a multi-chamber inflatable boat connecting device is shown. The arrows in Figure 4 indicate the path of air flow. First, press down the protrusion 5 to open all the push-type inflation nozzles 2, and connect multiple air chambers 9 through the multi-chamber inflatable boat connecting device. Then, turn on the inflation function of the suction and inflation device 10. The air enters the air chamber 9 where the suction and inflation device 10 is located through the suction and inflation device 10, and then flows upward from the lower part of the push-type inflation nozzle 2 of the multi-chamber inflatable boat connecting device located in the air chamber 9, enters the interior of the cavity channel 4, and then flows downward from another push-type inflation nozzle 2 to another air chamber 9, until the air in all air chambers 9 meets the use requirements of the inflatable boat. Finally, press down the protrusion 5 to close all the push-type inflation nozzles 2, so that each air chamber 9 becomes an independent and closed air chamber 9.

[0029] As shown in Figure 5, a method for deflation of a multi-chamber inflatable boat connecting device is shown. The arrows in Figure 5 indicate the direction of air flow. First, press down on the protrusion 5 to open all the push-type inflation nozzles 2, and connect multiple air chambers 9 through the multi-chamber inflatable boat connecting device. Then, turn on the suction function of the suction and inflation device 10. The air in the air chamber 9 where the suction and inflation device 10 is located will be discharged from the air chamber 9 through the suction and inflation device 10. At the same time, under the action of the suction and inflation device 10, the air in other air chambers 9 will flow upward from the lower part of the push-type inflation nozzle 2 in the air chamber 9 away from the suction and inflation device 10, enter the cavity channel 4, and then flow downward from another push-type inflation nozzle 2 to the air chamber 9 where the suction and inflation device 10 is located, and then be discharged through the suction and inflation device 10 until all the air in the air chambers 9 is completely discharged. Finally, press down on the protrusion 5 to close all the push-type inflation nozzles 2.

[0030] In this embodiment, the overall structure of the multi-chamber inflatable boat and the air pumping and inflating device 10 are derived from the Chinese invention patent "A multi-chamber inflatable boat and its inflation and deflation method" with publication number CN115675730A, and the specific structure is not repeated here.
