[0002] With the increase in water activities, water safety accidents are also on the rise. Traditional water rescue methods are often limited by factors such as manpower, time and environment, making it difficult to carry out rescue quickly and effectively. These accidents often occur in places far away from people and difficult to rescue, such as lakes, rivers, and oceans. In this case, traditional rescue methods, such as manual swimming rescue and boat rescue, have problems such as slow speed, low efficiency and high safety risks.

[0003] In order to respond to water emergencies more quickly and efficiently, improve rescue efficiency and quality, and reduce the risks to rescuers, water life-saving robots came into being. Water life-saving robots have built-in unmanned driving control chips, and have functions such as one-key return and out-of-control return. They are suitable for water rescue application scenarios such as the sea, reservoirs, rivers, and lakes. They can perform a variety of complex tasks such as rapid life-saving, material transportation, and rope traction, reducing the risks to rescuers.

[0004] In addition, with the advancement of science and technology and the improvement of people's safety awareness, the market demand for water life-saving robots is also increasing.

Their emergence provides a more efficient and safe solution for water rescue work.

[0005] In the prior art, surface rescue is mostly carried out by monitoring devices. After a person who has fallen into the water is found in the real-time monitoring image, the rescuers rush to the point where the person falls into the water and dive into the water to rescue the person. However, this rescue method greatly prolongs the rescue time and fails to transfer the person who has fallen into the water to a safe area in time. When the rescuers dive into the water to rescue, the rescue risk of the rescuers is also increased. A surface rescue robot and a method for using the same are now proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

The adjustment angle of the mechanical gripper reaches 180 degrees, so that rescuers do not need to go into the water to rescue, but only need to remotely control the rescue on the shore or on the boat, thereby reducing the rescue risk.

[0031] Adopting the above solution: This equipment consists of a remote control remote controller, a robot body and related sensor working tools. It is an intelligent rescue equipment operated by remote control. It is suitable for rescue work in various scenes such as swimming pools, reservoirs, rivers, beaches, yachts, ferries, etc. The robot has the characteristics of waterproof and moisture-proof, intelligent control, high-quality camera, simple operation, etc. It can quickly reach the rescue site and implement precise rescue. The robot is installed with a variety of sensors and control systems, which can perceive the environment in all directions and use intelligent algorithms for control. The positioning accuracy is higher, which can help better positioning, more accurately determine the rescue location, improve rescue efficiency, shorten rescue time, and reduce rescue risks.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the mechanical assembly 7 includes a mechanical frame 711, one side of the mechanical frame 711 is fixedly connected to a driving motor 712, the output end of the driving motor 712 is fixedly connected to a mechanical rod 713, both ends of the mechanical rod 713 are movably connected to mechanical arms 714, one end of the two mechanical arms 714 is movably connected to mechanical grippers 715, the outside of the mechanical frame 711 is fixedly connected to the hull frame 1, and the inside of the mechanical frame 711 is detachably connected to the lithium battery 9;

[0033] The above solution is adopted: by assembling two advanced mechanical grippers 715, these two mechanical grippers 715 can not only move flexibly in the left and right directions, but also perform precise lateral manipulation to ensure the wide range and accuracy of the operating range. The adjustment angle of the mechanical gripper 715 reaches one hundred and eighty degrees, which provides great convenience for various complex water surface operations. The opening and closing time of the mechanical gripper 715 is only a few seconds, which greatly improves the operating efficiency. The entire operating system is driven by a high-power drive motor 712, which provides stable and strong power support for the mechanical gripper 715. This powerful configuration enables this equipment to easily cope with various water surface operation tasks and achieve efficient and safe working performance.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the power assembly 8 includes a connecting line 811, one end of the connecting line 811 is fixedly connected to a power motor 812, one end of the power motor 812 is fixedly connected to a propeller blade 813, the outside of the power motor 812 is detachably connected to a mounting frame 814, the output end of the power motor 812 is fixedly connected to the propeller blade 813 in a ring-shaped and equidistant manner, the structure composed of the power motor 812 and the propeller blade 813 is a propeller, the outside of the connecting line 811 is detachably connected to the hull frame 1, the outer edge of the propeller blade 813 does not contact the mounting frame 814, and the inside of the mounting frame 814 is fixedly connected to the hull frame 1;

[0035] The above solution is adopted: by equipping two high-performance large-thrust thrusters, wherein the thrusters are composed of a power motor 812 and propeller blades 813. The forward thrust of the whole machine is very powerful, showing excellent propulsion ability, and can achieve strong dragging force, so that the equipment can rotate rapidly at no-load speed. This feature makes water operations faster and more efficient, and greatly improves the safety of operations. Whether in complex water environments or in scenarios that require strong dragging force, this equipment can demonstrate its excellent performance and provide strong protection for water operations.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the buoyancy assembly 11 includes a ring body 1111, both ends of the ring body 1111 are movably connected with fixing nuts 1112, one side of the ring body 1111 is movably connected with a buoy 1113, and the buoyancy assembly 11 is a symmetrical structure, one side of the ring body 1111 is fixedly connected to the hull frame 1, and the outside of the fixing nut 1112 is threadedly connected to the buoy 1113;

[0037] The above scheme is adopted: by adopting waterproof and moisture-proof technology, the IP68 level is achieved, two buoyancy components 11 are installed at the bottom of the equipment to provide sufficient buoyancy for the equipment, ensure that the equipment operates independently on the water surface, and avoid erosion by rain, water vapor, and water splashes. The buoy 1113 has a wider diameter and a longer length. In order to minimize the resistance in the water, the buoy 1113 adopts a streamlined design with two cones at both ends.

This design ensures the stability and safety of the equipment during water operations and provides solid support for various water tasks.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention also proposes a method for using a water surface rescue robot, comprising the following steps:

[0039] Step 1: Place the entire device on the water surface, provide sufficient buoyancy for the device through the float 1113, provide power through the lithium battery 9, and connect the controller directly to the power motor 812 through the connecting line 811. The power motor 812 drives the propeller blades 813 to rotate at high speed, so that the entire device moves. The camera 5 can transmit clear real-time images in real time, and the position of the drowning person can be found in time, providing reliable visual support for the rescue operation, and can record important information during the rescue process, providing strong support for subsequent analysis;

[0040] Step 2: When the rescuer sees a person who needs to be rescued, he can control the mechanical assembly 7 through the wireless remote control, so that the driving motor 712 drives the mechanical arm 714 and the mechanical gripper 715 to operate through the mechanical rod 713, so that the mechanical arm 714 can not only move flexibly in the left and right directions, but also perform precise lateral control to ensure the wide range and accuracy of the operation range. The adjustment angle of the mechanical gripper 715 reaches 180 degrees, which provides great convenience for various complex surface operations;

[0041] Step 3: When rescuing a person who has fallen into the water, the two-way intercom 10 can be used to communicate with the rescue personnel or the person who has fallen into the water in real time to improve the rescue efficiency and prevent the person who has fallen into the water from excessive physical exhaustion. The locator 3 and the communicator 4 can enable the device to have functions such as one-key return and loss of connection return. It is equipped with the Beidou satellite positioning system and can quickly return to the starting point or a safe area in the event of an abnormal situation. At the same time, the wireless remote controller can control the robot to accelerate, turn, and reverse, and control the mechanical gripper 715 to open and close.

[0042] Adopting the above solution: It is worth mentioning that this equipment is equipped with a large-capacity lithium battery 9, and its excellent endurance ensures that the operation can be carried out for a long time. This excellent performance ensures that the equipment has sufficient energy support in a single operation, whether it is long-term surface operation or long-distance cruising mission, it can easily handle it and provide users with efficient and long-lasting operation experience.

[0043] The status of the lithium battery 9 is crucial to the continued operation of the device.

This technology covers multiple key indicators and provides users with a comprehensive battery performance analysis. It can monitor indicators including temperature, current, voltage, remaining power, usage time, etc., and can wirelessly shut down the lithium battery 9.

[0044] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
