Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sports equipment, and in particular to an amphibious rope throwing training device for water rescue. Background Technology

[0002] Rope throwing rescue is a rescue skill that firefighters and other professionals should master. Technicians need to spend a significant amount of time practicing and becoming proficient in this skill. Current rope throwing rescue training methods typically require at least two people working together. One person enters the water to simulate a drowning person, while the trainee practices throwing the rope from the shore. This method is time-consuming and laborious, especially demanding a lot of physical strength from the person working together, resulting in low training efficiency. Often, after a few throws, the person working together becomes exhausted and has to stop practicing. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a training device that allows trainees to easily simulate rope throwing rescue on land. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides an amphibious rope throwing training device for water rescue.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A water and land amphibious rope throwing training device for water rescue includes: a turntable, a buoyant upper-body dummy detachably connected to the upper surface of the turntable, and multiple casters fixedly connected to the lower surface of the turntable. The upper-body dummy includes a torso, a head, and two arms. The two arms are arranged in an embracing shape and are inclined. A first sensor is provided on each arm. A second sensor and an alarm are provided on the head. A barb is provided at the free end of each arm.

[0006] When used on land, the aforementioned training device is placed on a flat, open surface. Activating the alarm will trigger a distress signal. The trainee stands at a distance and throws the rescue rope onto the upper body dummy. When the rope aligns with the first sensor on the arm or the second sensor on the head, the alarm stops, indicating accurate placement. The trainee then pulls the rope until it slides to the hook, which engages, allowing the device to be pulled back, completing one throwing exercise. This training device can simulate a drowning situation on land, requiring only one trainee to complete multiple rope-throwing rescue exercises on land, greatly improving efficiency and allowing trainees to quickly master the skill.

[0007] Furthermore, the barb curves upward and forms a groove with the arm, and a flexible scraper is provided on one side of the barb located in the groove.

[0008] The barb bends towards the head of the upper body dummy, and the arm is slightly tilted downwards. When the rescue rope is attached to the arm, the trainee can pull the rescue rope further, causing it to slide down the arm and into the slot to lock the rope in place, thus pulling the trainer back. The structure is simple and effective.

[0009] Furthermore, the second sensor is located near the top of the head, and the alarm is located near the mouth of the head.

[0010] The second sensor is positioned above the head. When the rescue rope is attached to the head, it can be pulled slightly towards the arm. Therefore, the top of the head can also be used as an effective position for throwing the rope. Positioning the alarm near the mouth makes the upper body dummy more realistic.

[0011] Furthermore, the torso is detachably connected to the turntable via a mounting bracket, the mounting bracket being fixed to the upper surface of the turntable, and the torso being snapped into the mounting bracket.

[0012] The torso is connected to the turntable via a mounting bracket. This allows for easy disassembly of the upper body dummy, enabling it to be used for other purposes or for convenient transportation. It also reduces the thickness of the turntable, saving materials and lowering costs.

[0013] Furthermore, the card holder is provided with a mounting groove, and the torso is detachably snapped into the mounting groove. The connection between the torso and the mounting groove is an interference fit.

[0014] The shape of the mounting slot matches the shape of the torso. During assembly, the torso can be directly inserted into the mounting slot. The interference fit and self-locking effect achieve a fixed connection between the torso and the card holder, which can effectively improve the simplicity of the overall structure and the convenience of assembly and disassembly, while also improving the aesthetics of the exerciser.

[0015] Furthermore, a lead weight is provided at the center of the bottom of the upper body dummy.

[0016] The upper body dummy is a semi-aquatic dummy with a certain amount of internal installation space and a built-in buoyancy device. The counterweight block is located at the center of the bottom of the upper body dummy, so that the center of gravity of the upper body dummy is close to the counterweight block. When the upper body dummy is placed in water, it can have a similar effect to a roly-poly toy.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a first inflatable airbag, which is arranged around the torso and located below the arm.

[0018] The first inflatable airbag allows the training device to be used both on land and in water. The upper body dummy can be removed from the seat, and the first inflatable airbag can be inflated to give the upper body dummy a certain buoyancy so that it can float on the water surface. The upper body dummy can then be placed in the water for throwing practice, further improving the applicability of the training device and meeting different usage scenarios.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes a second inflatable airbag, of which there are two, and the two second inflatable airbags are respectively fixed to the lower surface of the two arms, and the second inflatable airbags extend along the length direction of the arms.

[0020] The second inflatable airbag is designed to ensure that the upper body dummy's arms float on the water when used in the water, allowing the lifeline to be locked in the slot so that the upper body dummy can be pulled back.

[0021] Furthermore, the turntable has a cylindrical structure, and multiple casters are evenly spaced at the edge of the turntable.

[0022] The casters mentioned above are swivel casters. The multiple evenly spaced swivel casters make it easier for trainees to pull the exercise equipment back, improving the smoothness of the exercise equipment's movement.

[0023] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are:

[0024] The training device of this invention, through the setting of a turntable and casters, can place an upper body dummy on the ground, thus simulating the situation of a drowning person on land. Therefore, only one trainee is needed to complete multiple rope throwing rescue practices, which can be done on land, greatly improving the efficiency of rope throwing rescue practice and making it convenient for trainees to quickly master rope throwing rescue skills.

[0029] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings. However, the invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-3 A preferred embodiment of the present invention is as follows.

[0031] A water-based amphibious rope throwing training device for water rescue includes: a turntable 1, an upper-body dummy 2 detachably connected to the upper surface of the turntable 1, and multiple casters 3 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the turntable 1. The upper-body dummy 2 includes a torso 21, a head 22, and two arms 23. The two arms 23 are arranged in an embracing shape and tilted. A first sensor 231 is provided on the arms 23. A second sensor 221 and an alarm 222 are provided on the head 22. A barb 4 is provided at the free end of the arms 23.

[0032] In this embodiment, the training device is placed on a flat open ground. Activating the alarm 222 will trigger a distress signal. The trainee stands at a distance and throws the rescue rope onto the upper body dummy 2. When the rescue rope touches the first sensor 231 on the arm 23 or the second sensor 221 on the head 22, the alarm 222 stops, indicating that the rescue rope was thrown accurately. The trainee then continues to pull the rescue rope until it slides to the barb 4. The barb 4 engages the rescue rope, allowing the trainer to pull back, thus completing one throwing exercise. This training device can simulate a drowning situation on land, requiring only one trainee to complete multiple rope-throwing rescue exercises on land, greatly improving the efficiency of rope-throwing rescue practice and allowing trainees to quickly master the skill.

[0033] It should be noted that the first sensor 231 and the second sensor 221 in this embodiment are both contact sensors, and the alarm 222 can be a speaker. When the lifeline comes into contact with the first sensor 231 or the second sensor 221, it transmits the corresponding signal to the alarm 222, and the alarm 222 stops alarming. The connection circuit and implementation method are conventional technical means in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] In this embodiment, the barb 4 is curved upward and forms a groove 5 with the arm 23, and a flexible scraper 41 is provided on one side of the barb 4 located in the groove 5.

[0035] The barb 4 curves towards the head 22 of the upper body dummy 2, and the arm 23 tilts slightly downward. When the rescue rope is attached to the arm 23, the trainee can pull the rescue rope further, causing it to slide down the arm 23 and into the slot 5 to lock it in place, thus pulling the trainer back. The structure is simple and effective. The flexible scraper 41 increases the friction between the rescue rope and the hook, preventing the end of the rescue rope from detaching from the slot 5.

[0036] In this embodiment, the second sensor 221 is positioned near the top of the head 22, and the alarm 222 is positioned near the mouth of the head 22. By placing the second sensor 221 at the top of the head, when the rescue rope is attached to the top of the head, a slight pull on the rope will bring it towards the arm 23. Therefore, the top of the head can also serve as an effective position for throwing the rope. Positioning the alarm 222 near the mouth allows the upper body dummy 2 to better resemble a real-world scenario.

[0037] In this embodiment, the torso 21 is detachably connected to the turntable 1 via a mounting bracket 6. The mounting bracket 6 is fixed to the upper surface of the turntable 1, and the torso 21 is snapped into the mounting bracket 6. The connection between the torso 21 and the turntable 1 via the mounting bracket 6 facilitates the disassembly of the upper body dummy 2, allowing it to be used for other purposes or for convenient transportation. Furthermore, it reduces the thickness of the turntable 1, saving materials and lowering costs.

[0038] In this embodiment, the mounting base 6 is provided with a mounting groove 61, and the torso 21 is detachably engaged in the mounting groove 61. The connection between the torso 21 and the mounting groove 61 is an interference fit. Of course, the torso 21 can also be fixed to the mounting base 6 with bolts.

[0039] The shape of the mounting slot 61 matches the shape of the torso 21. During assembly, the torso 21 can be directly inserted into the mounting slot 61. The self-locking effect of the interference fit achieves a fixed connection between the torso 21 and the card holder 6, which can effectively improve the simplicity of the overall structure and the convenience of disassembly and assembly, while also improving the aesthetics of the exerciser.

[0040] In this embodiment, a counterweight lead block is provided at the center of the bottom of the upper body dummy 2. The upper body dummy 2 is a semi-aquatic dummy with a certain installation space inside. It has a built-in buoyancy device, and the counterweight block is located at the exact center of the bottom of the upper body dummy 2, so that the center of gravity of the upper body dummy 2 is close to the position of the counterweight lead block. When the upper body dummy 2 is placed in water, it can have a roly-poly effect. The counterweight lead block can be elliptical or have a curved surface structure.

[0041] Of course, as another implementation, the exercise device may also include a first inflatable airbag 7, which is disposed around the torso 21 and located below the arm 23.

[0042] The first inflatable airbag 7 enables the training device to be used both on land and in water. The upper body dummy 2 can be removed from the seat 6 and the first inflatable airbag 7 can be inflated to give the upper body dummy 2 a certain buoyancy so that it can float on the water surface. The upper body dummy 2 can then be placed in the water for throwing practice, further improving the applicability of the training device and meeting different usage scenarios.

[0043] The exercise device in this embodiment also includes a second inflatable airbag 8. There are two second inflatable airbags 8, which are respectively fixed to the lower surface of the two arms 23 and extend along the length of the arms 23.

[0044] The second inflatable airbag 8 is designed so that when the upper body dummy 2 is used in the water, the arms 23 can float on the water surface, so that the lifeline can be locked in the slot 5, so that the upper body dummy 2 can be pulled back.

[0045] In this embodiment, the turntable 1 has a cylindrical structure, and multiple casters 3 are evenly spaced along the edge of the turntable 1. The casters 3 are swivel casters, and the evenly spaced swivel casters make it easier for the user to pull the exercise equipment back, improving the smoothness of the exercise equipment's movement.
