Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rescue kit technology, and more particularly to emergency flood rescue kits. Background Technology

[0002] With increasingly frequent extreme weather events caused by global climate anomalies, floods and waterlogging disasters often occur during the flood season. People who are missing or trapped in floods can only passively wait for search and rescue. However, because they cannot send distress signals, it is difficult for rescuers to locate and rescue them. At the same time, the lack of survival supplies further reduces their chances of survival.

[0003] There is currently no perfect solution to the above problems. However, in order to improve the chances of missing and trapped people in floods obtaining rescue supplies and being rescued, there is an urgent need for a portable, effective and rapid emergency flood rescue kit that can provide rescue supplies to missing and trapped people and enable them to send distress signals to search and rescue personnel. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and enable the provision of rescue supplies to missing or trapped people in floods, thereby increasing their chances of rescue and survival.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an emergency flood relief kit, comprising a material box, an upper shell, an inflatable airbag, and a lower shell. An installation box is fixedly installed in the center of the upper shell, and a fixing slot is provided on the inner wall of the installation box. An elastic clip is fixedly installed on the side wall edge of the material box, and the elastic clip is embedded in the fixing slot. The top of the inflatable airbag is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper shell, and the top of the lower shell is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inflatable airbag. A chemical agent package is placed on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the lower shell, and the chemical agent package is filled with sodium sulfide powder, and the sodium sulfide powder is wrapped with an anhydrous acetic acid package.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The material box has a first threaded opening at the center of its top surface, and a sealing box cover is screwed into the first threaded opening. The sealing box cover has a first connecting thread on its side wall, and the first connecting thread engages with the first threaded opening.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The bottom surface of the lower housing has a second threaded opening at the center, and a sealing bottom cover is screwed into the second threaded opening. The side wall of the sealing bottom cover has a second connecting thread, and the second connecting thread engages with the second threaded opening.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] A sealing ring is installed on the sealing bottom cover, and a sealing groove is opened on the bottom surface of the lower housing, in which the sealing ring is embedded.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] A GPS signal transmitter is installed on the top surface of the inner cavity of the material box.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The top surface of the material box is symmetrically and fixedly equipped with a handle.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] Plastic reflective strips are fixedly installed on the side wall of the upper housing.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The material box, upper shell, inflatable airbag, and lower shell are painted with orange warning paint.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0021] 1. This invention includes a supply box and an inflatable airbag. In use, the user places essential rescue supplies into the inner cavity of the supply box through the first threaded opening. The sealing box cover is then screwed into the first threaded opening to seal the supply box. The user can then press the supply box into the mounting box cavity fixed in the center of the upper shell using the handle. The elastic clips fixed to the side wall of the supply box engage with the fixing slots on the inner side wall of the mounting box, quickly completing the installation. During this process, the supply box presses down on the mounting box, which simultaneously compresses the chemical agent package placed on the bottom surface of the lower shell cavity. This compression ruptures the anhydrous acetic acid package inside the chemical agent package, allowing the anhydrous acetic acid to contact and react with the sodium sulfide powder inside the chemical agent package. The resulting hydrogen sulfide enters the sealed cavity formed by the upper shell, lower shell, mounting box, and inflatable airbag, causing the inflatable airbag to expand rapidly, efficiently, and stably, thus completing the inflation of the emergency flood rescue package. The operation is quick, convenient, and easy to learn. In the event of a sudden flood, rescuers can drop a large number of emergency flood relief kits into the water via aerial or upstream drop methods, allowing them to drift downstream. This increases the probability that missing or trapped individuals will find the kits. The upper shell has reflective plastic strips on its side walls, making it easy for missing or trapped individuals to spot and for rescuers to locate the kits later. Missing or trapped individuals who find the kits can use the supplies inside to save themselves, extending their waiting time for rescue and increasing their chances of survival. Additionally, the GPS signal transmitter installed in the supplies and the inner cavity can be switched on and off according to instructions. When rescuers detect the rescue signal, they can quickly locate and track the missing or trapped individuals using the GPS signal transmitter. This allows rescuers to avoid blindly searching and to complete the rescue of trapped individuals more quickly and promptly, further increasing the probability of survival for those missing or trapped in the flood.

[0022] 2. This invention includes a GPS signal transmitter. After the flood recedes and the rescue operation ends, rescuers can use the GPS signal transmitter installed inside the material box to locate the emergency flood relief package. This allows unused relief supplies in the material box to be recycled and reused, avoiding waste and effectively conserving relief supplies.

[0023] 3. This invention features a sealed bottom cover. After receiving the recovered emergency rescue kit, the user can use the second connecting thread to unscrew the sealed bottom cover from the second threaded opening in the center of the bottom surface of the lower shell, remove the used chemical agent pack, and replace it with a new chemical agent pack. The sealed bottom cover is then screwed back into the second threaded opening, ensuring that the sealing ring installed on the sealed bottom cover is tightly fitted into the sealing groove on the bottom surface of the lower shell. This guarantees the airtightness of the sealed cavity formed by the upper shell, lower shell, mounting box, and inflatable airbag, without affecting secondary use. The production cost of the upper shell, lower shell, mounting box, and inflatable airbag is low, and they are recyclable. This results in a low material and material loss rate for the emergency flood rescue kit, low cost, and the ability to be deployed in large quantities to achieve the purpose of large-scale rescue.

[0035] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0036] In the description of the invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the invention; the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance; furthermore, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly, for example, they can be fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can be mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can be direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; they can be internal connections between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances:

[0037] Example 1: An emergency flood relief kit includes a supply box 1, an upper shell 2, an inflatable airbag 3, and a lower shell 4. An installation box 11 is fixedly installed in the center of the upper shell 2, and a fixing groove 12 is provided on the inner wall of the installation box 11. Elastic clips 8 are fixedly installed on the side edges of the supply box 1, and the elastic clips 8 are embedded in the fixing grooves 12. The top of the inflatable airbag 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper shell 2, and the top of the lower shell 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inflatable airbag 3. A chemical agent pack 14 is placed on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the lower shell 4, and the chemical agent pack 14 is filled with sodium sulfide powder 15. Furthermore, the sodium sulfide powder 15 contains anhydrous acetic acid 16, which enables the emergency flood rescue kit to be inflated and opened. The operation is quick, convenient, and easy to learn. In the event of a sudden flood, rescuers can drop a large number of emergency flood rescue kits into the water and let them drift downstream by air or upstream. This increases the probability that missing or trapped people will find the emergency flood rescue kits. At the same time, it allows rescuers to avoid blindly searching and can more quickly and timely rescue those trapped, thereby further increasing the probability of survival for those missing or trapped in the flood.

[0038] In the second embodiment, a first threaded opening 10 is provided in the center of the top surface of the material box 1, and a sealing box cover 6 is screwed into the first threaded opening 10. A first connecting thread 9 is provided on the side wall of the sealing box cover 6, and the first connecting thread 9 and the first threaded opening 10 are engaged with each other, which plays the role of ensuring the sealing of the inner cavity of the material box 1.

[0039] In embodiment 3, a second threaded opening 18 is provided in the center of the bottom surface of the lower housing 4, and a sealing bottom cover 13 is screwed into the second threaded opening 18. A second connecting thread 17 is provided on the side wall of the sealing bottom cover 13, and the second connecting thread 17 and the second threaded opening 18 are engaged with each other, which facilitates the recycler to replace the new chemical agent package 14.

[0040] In embodiment four, a sealing ring 20 is installed on the sealing bottom cover 13, and a sealing groove 19 is opened on the bottom surface of the lower housing 4. The sealing ring 20 is embedded in the sealing groove 19, which plays a role in ensuring the sealing performance of the sealed cavity formed by the upper housing 2, the lower housing 4, the mounting box 11 and the inflatable airbag 3.

[0041] In Example 5, a GPS signal transmitter 21 is installed on the top surface of the inner cavity of the supply box 1. This allows trapped personnel to switch on and off the GPS signal transmitter 21 installed in the supplies and the inner cavity according to instructions and a certain pattern. When rescuers detect the rescue signal, they can quickly locate and track the missing or trapped personnel based on the GPS signal transmitter 21. This allows rescuers to avoid blindly searching and can complete the rescue of the trapped personnel more quickly and in a timely manner, thereby further increasing the probability of survival for those missing or trapped in the flood. At the same time, rescuers can use the GPS signal transmitter 21 installed in the inner cavity of the supply box 1 to locate the position of the deployed emergency flood relief package, thereby enabling the recycling and reuse of unused relief supplies in the supply box 1, avoiding waste of relief supplies and effectively saving relief supplies.

[0042] In Example 6, a handle 5 is symmetrically and fixedly installed on the top surface of the material box 1, which facilitates the user to take and put the material box 1.

[0043] In Example 7, a plastic reflective strip 7 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the upper shell 2, which helps missing or trapped personnel and search and rescue personnel to find the emergency flood relief kit.

[0044] In Example 8, the supply box 1, upper shell 2, inflatable airbag 3, and lower shell 4 are painted with orange warning paint, which helps missing or trapped personnel and search and rescue personnel to find the emergency flood relief package.

[0045] Working Principle: This invention includes a supply box 1 and an inflatable airbag 3. In use, the user can place essential rescue supplies into the inner cavity of the supply box 1 through the first threaded opening 10. Then, the sealing cover 6 is screwed into the first threaded opening 10 via the first connecting thread 9 to seal the supply box 1. The user can then press the supply box 1 into the inner cavity of the mounting box 11 fixedly installed in the center of the upper shell 2 using the handle 5. This causes the elastic clip 8 fixedly installed on the side wall of the supply box 1 to engage with the fixing slot 12 opened on the inner side wall of the mounting box 11, quickly completing the installation of the supply box 1. During this process, the supply box 1 presses down on the mounting box 11, which simultaneously compresses the chemical agent package 14 placed on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the lower shell 4, thus releasing the chemical agent. The anhydrous acetic acid package 16 inside the chemical agent pack 14 is crushed, allowing the anhydrous acetic acid to come into contact with and react with the sodium sulfide powder 15 inside the chemical agent pack 14. The resulting hydrogen sulfide enters the sealed cavity formed by the upper shell 2, lower shell 4, mounting box 11, and inflatable airbag 3, causing the inflatable airbag 3 to expand rapidly, efficiently, and stably, thus completing the inflation of the emergency flood rescue pack. The operation is quick, convenient, and easy to learn. In the event of a sudden flood, rescuers can place a large number of emergency flood rescue packs into the water and let them drift downstream via aerial or upstream drop methods, increasing the probability that missing or trapped personnel will find the emergency flood rescue packs. The upper shell 2 is equipped with plastic reflective strips 7 on its side wall, making it easy for missing or trapped personnel to spot and facilitating search and rescue. If personnel later discover the emergency flood rescue kit, the missing or trapped person who finds it can use the supplies in the supply box 1 to save themselves, prolong their waiting time for rescue, and thus increase their chances of survival. Simultaneously, following instructions, the GPS signal transmitter 21 installed in the supplies and its inner cavity can be switched on and off according to a certain pattern. When rescuers detect the rescue signal, they can quickly locate and track the missing or trapped person using the GPS signal transmitter 21. This allows rescuers to avoid blindly searching and can complete the rescue of the trapped person more quickly and promptly, further increasing the probability of survival for those missing or trapped in the flood. Furthermore, the invention includes a GPS signal transmitter 21; after the flood recedes and the rescue operation ends, rescuers can use it to... The GPS signal transmitter 21 installed inside the material box 1 locates the position of the deployed emergency flood relief kit, thereby enabling the recycling and reuse of unused relief supplies in the material box 1, avoiding waste and effectively conserving relief supplies. Simultaneously, the invention includes a sealing bottom cover 13. After retrieving the recovered emergency relief kit, the user can use the second connecting thread 17 to unscrew the sealing bottom cover 13 from the second threaded opening 18 in the center of the bottom surface of the lower housing 4, remove the used chemical agent pack 14, and replace it with a new chemical agent pack 14. The sealing bottom cover 13 is then screwed back into the second threaded opening 18, ensuring that the sealing ring 20 installed on the sealing bottom cover 13 is tightly fitted into the sealing groove 19 in the bottom surface of the lower housing 4.To ensure the airtightness of the sealed cavity formed by the upper shell 2, lower shell 4, mounting box 11, and inflatable airbag 3, and to prevent impact on secondary use, the upper shell 2, lower shell 4, mounting box 11, and inflatable airbag 3 are low-cost to produce and recyclable. This results in low material and resource loss rates for the emergency flood relief kit, low cost, and the ability to be deployed in large quantities to achieve the goal of large-scale rescue.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
