Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water rescue technology, and in particular to a new type of rescue vessel. Background Technology

[0002] The common rescue method for drowning accidents is to arrange for professional lifeguards to rescue the drowning person. However, because the drowning person is nervous and afraid, they are prone to clinging to the rescuer, which can easily cause injury to the rescuer. This method is not only costly in terms of manpower, but also has a limited coverage area. Therefore, rescue boats are now gradually being used to replace lifeguards for rescue.

[0003] Most existing rescue boats use traditional hull structures. Once the rescue boat reaches the drowning location and waits for the drowning person to climb onto the hull, it can transport the person to a safe location. However, drowning people often experience significant physical exhaustion while waiting for rescue, making it difficult for them to climb onto the hull, which increases rescue time and reduces rescue efficiency. Furthermore, the hull area of ​​existing rescue boats cannot be adjusted, forcing rescuers to stand inside the hull to carry out the rescue. The high railings on the sides of the hull impose certain restrictions on rescuers, but removing the railings would pose certain safety risks to the rescuers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention aims to provide a novel rescue boat with an adjustable hull area. Rescuers can stand on the extended panels and stern plates on the outside of the hull to carry out rescue operations, which can improve rescue efficiency, ensure the safety of rescuers, and also facilitate drowning victims to climb onto the hull.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A novel rescue vessel includes a hull, which comprises a cockpit and a ship's body; characterized in that: two extension plates are movably connected to both sides of the ship's body via a telescopic adjustment mechanism, the two extension plates are symmetrically arranged and extend through the ship's body, a folding seat is provided on the top surface of one end of each extension plate inside the ship's body, and a side rail is fixedly provided on one end of each extension plate outside the ship's body; two stern plates are also symmetrically movably connected to the stern of the ship's body, and a stern rail is fixedly provided on the stern plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the telescopic adjustment mechanism includes two racks that are slidably connected to the bottom surface of the hull. The two racks are arranged facing each other, and each extension plate is fixedly connected to a corresponding rack. A gear is meshed between the two racks, and a first drive motor for driving the gear to rotate is installed inside the bottom surface of the hull.

[0008] Furthermore, the folding seat includes a vertical plate and a horizontal plate. The bottom end of the vertical plate is fixedly connected to the extension plate, and the top end of the vertical plate is movably connected to the horizontal plate. A linkage assembly is movably connected between the vertical plate and the horizontal plate.

[0009] Furthermore, two arc-shaped slide rails are symmetrically arranged at the stern end of the hull. The two tail plates are slidably connected to the two arc-shaped slide rails respectively. When the tail plate is rotated to the outside of the hull, each tail plate and the corresponding extension plate fit together at a 90-degree angle.

[0010] Furthermore, the side panel has multiple mounting holes, and a rescue ladder is rotatably connected to each mounting hole.

[0011] Furthermore, handrails are fixedly installed on both sides and the stern of the hull, and a foldable canopy is provided on the top of the hull. Each handrail is equipped with a telescopic rod for supporting the canopy.

[0012] Furthermore, the cockpit is equipped with a thruster assembly that extends through the bottom of the cockpit.

[0013] Furthermore, the thruster assembly includes a mounting plate installed within the cockpit, a mounting rod fixed to the bottom of the mounting plate extending through the bottom of the cockpit, and a mounting box fixed to the bottom of the mounting rod; a propulsion motor is also installed at the bottom of the mounting plate, the output end of the propulsion motor is connected to a worm gear extending through the bottom of the cockpit and the mounting box, a turbine rotatably connected within the mounting box and meshing with the worm gear, a push rod fixed to the center of the turbine extending through the mounting box, and a fan blade fixed to one end of the push rod outside the mounting box.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are: compared with the prior art, the improvement of this invention lies in that...

[0015] 1. The rescue boat of the present invention has retractable extension plates on both sides of the hull, which allows rescuers to stand on the extension plates and stern plate outside the hull to carry out rescue operations. This avoids the restriction on rescuers by the handrails on the sides and stern of the hull, and improves rescue efficiency. At the same time, the side rails on the extension plates and the railings on the stern plate can ensure the safety of rescuers. During normal driving, the extension plates and stern plate can be retracted into the hull and will not affect the driving of the entire hull.

[0016] 2. The rescue boat in this invention can simultaneously extend and retract two extension plates through the cooperation of gears and racks. The tail plate extends and retracts by rotating an arc-shaped slide rail, which is very convenient to operate. Moreover, when the extension plates and tail plate are in the extended state, they fit together at a 90-degree angle, so that there are no gaps between the extension plates and tail plate, which further ensures the safety of rescue personnel.

[0017] 3. The rescue boat in this invention is equipped with a foldable canopy on the top of the hull. The canopy can be unfolded or folded according to actual usage needs. The telescopic rods on the handrails can support the canopy when it is unfolded, and when the canopy is folded, the telescopic rods can retract into the handrail rods to reduce the volume of the hull.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] See attached document Figure 1-10 The present invention relates to a new type of rescue vessel, comprising a hull, the hull including a cockpit 1 and a hull 2, the cockpit 1 and the hull 2 ​​being an integral structure, the cockpit 1 being provided with a propulsion assembly 13, the propulsion assembly 13 being a through-hole extending through the bottom of the cockpit 1.

[0031] Specifically, the thruster assembly 13 includes a mounting plate 1301 installed inside the cockpit 1. A mounting rod 1302 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting plate 1301, penetrating the bottom of the cockpit 1. A mounting box 1303 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting rod 1302. A propulsion motor 1304 is also installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 1301. The output end of the propulsion motor 1304 is connected to a worm gear 1305 via an intermediate rod 109, which penetrates the bottom of the cockpit 1 and the mounting box 1303, allowing the worm gear 1305 to... Located inside the mounting box 1303, a turbine 1306 meshing with the worm gear 1305 is also rotatably connected inside the mounting box 1303. A push rod 1307 is fixedly sleeved at the center of the turbine 1306. The push rod 1307 is perpendicular to the direction of the worm gear 1305 and rotatably passes through the mounting box 1303. A fan blade 1308 is fixedly installed at one end of the push rod 1307 outside the mounting box 1303. When the push rod 1307 rotates, it can drive the fan blade 1308 to rotate synchronously. The vortex generated by the rotation of the fan blade 1308 plays the role of propelling the hull. When the propulsion motor 1304 is working, it drives the intermediate rod 109 and the worm gear 1305 to rotate. The rotation of the worm gear 1305 drives the turbine 1306 to rotate, and the rotation of the turbine 1306 drives the push rod 1307 and the fan blade 1308 to rotate, thereby propelling the entire rescue vessel forward or backward. As the power source for the rescue vessel, the mounting rod 1302 can balance and fix the mounting box 1303. The cockpit 1 is also equipped with a driver's seat. It should be noted that, except for the propulsion assembly 13, the other equipment in the cockpit 1 of this application are all from existing rescue vessels, and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0032] Furthermore, two extension plates 3 are movably connected to both sides of the hull 2 ​​via a telescopic adjustment mechanism. The two extension plates 3 are symmetrically arranged and penetrate the hull 2. Long strip-shaped through holes for the movement of the extension plates 3 are provided on both sides of the hull 2. A folding seat 4 is provided on the top surface of one end of each extension plate 3 inside the hull 2, and a side rail 5 is fixedly provided on the other end of each extension plate 3 outside the hull 2. The long strip-shaped through holes on both sides of the hull 2 ​​are matched with the height of the side rail 5. When the side rail 5 is folded, it can correspond to the side of the hull 2 ​​without large gaps. The telescopic adjustment mechanism includes two racks 8 that are slidably connected to the bottom surface of the hull 2. The two racks 8 are arranged facing each other, and each extension plate 3 is fixedly connected to the corresponding rack 8. A gear 9 is meshed between the two racks 8. A first drive motor (not shown in the figure) for driving the gear 9 to rotate is installed inside the bottom surface of the hull 2. The first drive motor can drive the gear 9 to rotate. When the gear 9 rotates, it drives the two racks 8 to move in different directions, thereby moving the two extension plates 3 to the outside of the hull 2 ​​or to the inside of the hull 2 ​​at the same time. The side of the extension plate 3 near the gear 9 is also provided with an arc-shaped groove that matches the gear 9, so that the two extension plates 3 can be brought closer together to the maximum extent.

[0033] The folding seat 4 includes a vertical plate 401 and a horizontal plate 402. The bottom end of the vertical plate 401 is fixedly connected to the extension plate 3, and the top end of the vertical plate 401 is hinged to the horizontal plate 402. A connecting rod assembly 403 is movably connected between the vertical plate 401 and the horizontal plate 402. The connecting rod assembly 403 includes three interconnected connecting rods, which can both support the horizontal plate 402 and enable the folding of the horizontal plate 402. When the entire folding seat 4 is in the folded state, its height is less than the height of the elongated through holes on both sides of the hull 2, so it will not obstruct the left and right movement of the extension plate 3. When the folding seat 4 is in the unfolded state, it can provide a place for rescuers or rescued personnel to sit and rest.

[0034] Two stern plates 6 are symmetrically and movably connected to the stern end of the hull 2. The end of the stern plate 6 near the outer side of the hull 2 ​​is a right-angle structure. A stern rail 7 is fixed on the stern plate 6. Specifically, two arc-shaped slide rails 10 are symmetrically arranged inside the stern end of the hull 2. The two stern plates 6 are slidably connected to the two arc-shaped slide rails 10 respectively. When the stern plate 6 slides along the arc-shaped slide rails 10, its rotation center is the support column at the intersection of the side of the hull 2 ​​and the stern. The stern plate 6 is also rotatably connected to the support column. A handle is provided on the stern plate 6. The stern plate 6 can be rotated by pulling the handle. The support column at the intersection of the side of the hull 2 ​​and the stern is a cylindrical structure, which can ensure the normal rotation of the stern plate 6. The stern rail 7 is set on the top of the two mutually perpendicular sides of the stern plate 6. The end of the stern plate 6 near the inner side of the hull 2 ​​does not have a stern rail 7, so that when both stern rail 7 are rotated to the outside of the hull 2, the two sides without the stern rail 7 can be spliced ​​together without being separated in the middle. When the stern plate 6 is rotated to the outside of the hull 2, each stern plate 6 and the corresponding extension plate 3 are fitted together at a 90-degree angle, and the stern plate 6 and the extension plate 3 are seamlessly fitted together, which can ensure the safety of rescue personnel.

[0035] Each side rail 5 is also provided with two mounting holes 501, and a rescue ladder 502 is rotatably connected in each mounting hole 501. The bottom of the rescue ladder 502 is provided with a pivot, which is rotatably connected to the bottom of both sides of the mounting hole 501. When the rescue ladder 502 is rotated into the mounting hole 501, the rescue ladder 502 can be stored. When the rescue ladder 502 is rotated out of the mounting hole 501, the side rail 5 can be further extended to facilitate the drowning person to board the boat.

[0036] Handrails 11 are fixedly installed on both sides and at the stern of the hull 2. A foldable canopy 12 is provided on the top of the hull 2. Each handrail 11 is equipped with a telescopic rod 1101 for supporting the canopy 12. A support plate is fixedly installed on the top of the side of the cockpit 1 closest to the hull 2. The canopy 12 includes a first canopy and a second canopy, which are hinged together. The end of the first canopy away from the second canopy is fixed to the support plate. The two telescopic rods 1101 on both sides of the hull 2 ​​are in contact with but not connected to the end of the first canopy near the second canopy, and play a supporting role. The telescopic rod 1101 at the stern of the hull 2 ​​is in contact with but not connected to the end of the second canopy away from the first canopy. When the canopy 12 needs to be unfolded, the telescopic rod 1101 at the stern of the hull 2 ​​supports the second canopy. When the canopy 12 needs to be folded up, the telescopic rod 1101 can retract into the handrail 11. The canopy 12 is mainly fixed by the support plate.

[0037] In use, the rescue boat of this invention is powered by a propulsion assembly 13. A first drive motor drives a gear 9 to rotate, which in turn moves two racks 8 in different directions. This allows the two extension plates 3 to be moved simultaneously to the outside of the hull 2. The stern plate 6 is then rotated to the outside of the hull 2, and the stern plate 6 fits seamlessly with the corresponding extension plates 3 at a 90-degree angle. Rescuers can stand on the extension plates 3 and stern plate 6 to carry out rescues, and drowning victims can also enter the hull through the extension plates 3 and stern plate 6. After the rescue is completed, the first drive motor rotates in the opposite direction to move the two extension plates 3 to the inside of the hull 2, and the stern plate 6 is also rotated to the inside of the hull 2, reducing the hull size and facilitating the movement of the rescue boat.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
