Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a storage facility and a method. Background Art

[0002] Everyone has the need to hide their important things. Some valuable things make people feel insecure whether they are hidden in a safe at home, a bank safe, or anywhere in the wild. Society has a great demand for a highly secure storage method. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art and to provide a storage facility and method.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solutions to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art:

[0005] A storage facility and method, characterized in that it comprises a sealed storage box with a handle, a USB cable with an outer sheath of not less than 100 meters and a length scale on the outer sheath, a hand-cranked winch and a smartphone with a built-in relevant APP, the USB cable is wound around the hand-cranked winch, the upper end is a USB port connected to the smartphone, and the lower end is connected to a waterproof LED lamp head with a metal hook at the bottom, a camera is also installed on the lamp head, which can provide visual lighting for seabed search, the main function of the outer sheath is to bear weight, and the storage steps are divided into the following steps: first, the storage box specifications and dimensions need to be customized according to the size and weight of the stored items, and the empty space inside the storage box must not only meet the size requirements of the stored items, but also have a basic principle that the storage box The total weight of the items stored should be greater than 1.1 times the buoyancy in seawater to ensure that they can be stably stored on the seabed for a long time and not be washed away by the current. Secondly, in addition to being well sealed and resistant to seawater corrosion, the storage box must also be able to withstand the water pressure of the seabed without deformation. Thirdly, there is a tall handle fixed on the top of the storage box, and the metal hook also uses a long hanging rod, which is convenient for hooking the storage box handle and removing the hook. Because the seabed is basically invisible at a depth of hundreds of meters, in order to facilitate future identification, the appearance of the storage box should be painted with eye-catching yellow or red anti-rust paint, and the color of the handle and the storage box body should be quite different. For example, it is most appropriate to use yellow for the storage box and red for the handle. The next step is to investigate the seabed conditions. You can first understand a certain Approximate sea depth and seabed topography of the area. After preliminarily determining the area, place valuables in the storage box, seal it, and drive a boat with the above-mentioned full set of equipment to the predetermined area. Slowly lower the LED lamp head with a metal hook into the water, connect a smartphone with a built-in related APP to the upper end of the USB cable, turn on the LED lamp bead, and when the metal hook is lowered close to the seabed, you can see whether the seabed is flat and suitable for placing the storage box. If it is not suitable, you can carry the metal hook and inspect it around the boat. At the same time, you can slowly drive the boat to inspect a larger area until you find a suitable location. After the location is determined, use a hand-cranked winch to retract the metal hook, hang the sealed storage box under the metal hook, and slowly lower it to the seabed with a hand-cranked winch. During the lowering process, the LED light is turned on throughout the process to facilitate observation. After the sealed storage box is placed firmly on the seabed, record the satellite positioning data on the smartphone and save it. At the same time, record the seabed depth displayed by the length scale on the outer sheath of the USB cable, and then lower the metal hook a few centimeters and move the USB cable horizontally to detach it from the sealed storage box and it can be retrieved. At this point, the storage task is completed. If you want to retrieve the sealed storage box at any time, you only need to drive a small boat with the original set or facilities of the same specifications to the location where the satellite positioning data is recorded, turn on the LED light beads and lower the metal hook to the recorded seabed depth to find the sealed storage box, align it with the handle on the top of the sealed storage box, and slightly shake the USB cable and other metal hooks left and right. After hanging the handle on the top of the sealed storage box, you can get the sealed storage box back.

[0006] The invention can safely store valuables at the bottom of the sea hundreds of meters deep. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0007] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a complete set of facilities of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0008] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0009] With reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention provides a storage facility and method, object 4 is a smart phone with a built-in related APP, object 301 is a hand winch, object 302 is the handle of the hand winch, object 303 is a connecting rod with a round hole in the center, the round hole is used to guide the direction of the USB line, and its two ends are fixed on the end plate of the hand winch 301, object 203 is a USB port connected to a smart phone, object 201 is a USB line with an outer sheath and a length scale on the outer sheath, and its total length is not less than 100 meters. The material of the outer sheath needs to be selected according to the maximum load-bearing capacity of the sealed storage box when there is no buoyancy on the water surface, the USB line 201 is wound on the hand winch 301, and the lower end is connected to object 204, and object 204 is a metal The waterproof LED lamp head is a processed inverted cone-shaped waterproof LED lamp head, and a number of LED lamp beads are evenly installed on the conical surface surrounding it, namely object 202. Three cameras are also evenly installed on the conical surface surrounding it, namely object 206. The waterproof LED lamp head is made of metal for improving strength and load-bearing capacity, and the inverted cone shape is adopted so that the LED lamp beads can illuminate a wider range on the seabed, and the camera can also see a wider range; object 205 is a long rod metal hook, and its top is fixedly connected to the center of the cone at the bottom of object 204. Object 101 is a sealed storage box, and object 102 is the lid of the sealed storage box. A sturdy and tall handle is fixedly connected to the top of the lid 102 of the sealed storage box, namely object 103. To prevent seawater corrosion, the surface of the sealed storage box should be treated with anti-rust treatment, because light is basically invisible at the bottom of the sea hundreds of meters deep. In order to facilitate future identification, the surface of the storage box should be painted with eye-catching yellow or red anti-rust paint, and the color of the handle and the storage box body should be quite different. For example, it is most appropriate to use yellow for the storage box and red for the handle. Considering the convenience of processing and the pressure-bearing property, the sealed storage box 101 is most suitable to be made of seamless steel pipe. Its bottom end is welded with a steel plate not less than the thickness of the pipe wall, and the top end is made of a steel plate of the same thickness to make a lid 102. The connection method between the lid 102 and the sealed storage box 101 body is determined according to the pipe diameter. At the same time, in order to maintain stability during storage on the seabed, the diameter D of the sealed storage box 101 made of seamless steel pipe should not be less than the total height H.

[0010] Although a preferred embodiment of the present invention is described above, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and professionals in the field may make various changes and improvements to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention defined in the claims.
