[0025] Next, the embodiments of this specification are described in detail.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the automobile of the present application includes a vehicle body and an emergency flotation device arranged on the vehicle body, the emergency flotation device includes: an inflatable blanket 10, an inflatable blanket receiving tube 20, a pressurizing device 30 and a rescue control device 40, the inflatable blanket 10 is received in the inflatable blanket receiving tube 20, and the rescue control device 40 can control the pressurizing device 30 to inflate the inflatable blanket 10.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the inflatable blanket 10 is square and can be folded and stored in the inflatable blanket storage tube 20 without taking up too much space. After being fully inflated, the inflatable blanket 10 directly pops up under the car, covers the water surface, and lifts the car up. The inflation pipeline inside the inflatable blanket 10 takes in air from the middle and supplies air to both sides. The air inlet 11 is arranged in the middle, and the air inlet pipes 12 are respectively arranged on both sides of the air inlet 11 in a winding serpentine shape to ensure the uniformity and fullness of the air supply from the middle of the inflatable blanket 10 to both ends. The inflatable blanket 10 can be filled with air in a relatively short time, thereby ensuring that the inflatable blanket 10 can quickly lift the car.

[0028] The inner lining of the inflatable blanket 10 is made of elastic rubber material, so that the inner lining has certain resilience and inflatability, can withstand high-intensity air pressure, and mainly plays an inflation role. The outer lining of the inflatable blanket 10 is made of fiber cloth, so that the outer lining has certain wear resistance, and mainly plays a protective role for the inner lining and the inflation pipeline to prevent air leakage.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the inflatable blanket storage tube 20 includes a horizontal bottom 21 and a limiting portion 22 and a covering portion 23 connected to both sides of the bottom 21. The limiting portion 22 extends upward from one side of the bottom 21, and the covering portion 23 extends from the other side of the bottom 21 around the limiting portion 22. The bottom 21, the limiting portion 22 and the covering portion 23 together form a receiving cavity 24 for storing the inflatable blanket 10 and an opening 25 connecting the receiving cavity 24 with the outside.

[0030] The inflatable blanket receiving tube 20 is arranged on both sides of the vehicle body and below the door sill beam, which does not occupy the space in the vehicle and reasonably utilizes the free space below the door sill beam. The arrangement on both sides ensures that the buoyancy of the inflatable blanket 10 is uniform and balanced after inflation, and prevents the vehicle from rolling over when it is arranged on one side or in the middle. Compared with the vehicle tire 60, the inflatable blanket receiving tube 20 is arranged more towards the vehicle body, on the one hand, considering the spatial arrangement below the door sill beam, and on the other hand, reducing the damage to the inflatable blanket receiving tube 20 caused by the bumps of the vehicle.

[0031] Optionally, the inflatable blanket receiving tube 20 is made of an elastic material, or can be a rigid disposable product, to ensure that the inflatable blanket 10 pops out smoothly and is not easily damaged.

[0032] The inflatable blanket 10 is inserted into the receiving cavity 24 from the opening 25, and the bottom 21, the limiting portion 22 and the covering portion 23 jointly protect the inflatable blanket 10. At the same time, the limiting portion 22 can also prevent the inflatable blanket 10 from easily escaping from the inflatable blanket receiving tube 20 during the movement of the car, thus playing a limiting role. The opening 25 faces the direction of the car, so that the inflatable blanket 10 bounces from the opening 25 into the car, and preferentially covers the lower part of the car chassis, quickly providing a large area of ​​support for the car.

[0033] The pressurizing device 30 includes a compressor 31 , an air pump 32 and an air charging pipe 33 . The compressor 31 and the air pump 32 are arranged in the trunk of the car, and the air charging pipe 33 connects the air pump 32 and the inflatable blanket 10 .

[0034] The compressor 31 is an air compressor, which is used to compress air into the air pump 32. The air pump 32 pumps the compressed gas through the air pipe into the middle of the inflatable blanket 10 and inflates the two ends. The compressor 31 and the air pump 32 are both specially set for inflating the inflatable blanket 10, ensuring that in the event of a fall into the water, the rescue control device 40 can respond to the command to complete the inflation action in the first time.

[0035] The rescue control device 40 includes a one-touch start button 41, a life-saving controller 42, a low-speed CAN line 43 and a rescue system 44. The one-touch start button 41 triggers the life-saving controller 42, and the life-saving controller 42 transmits a start working signal to the rescue system 44 and the pressurizing device 30 through the low-speed CAN line 43.

[0036] The one-touch start button 41 and the life-saving controller 42 are electrically connected. The one-touch start button 41 can realize point-to-point direct function triggering and can be effectively distinguished from other function buttons. The life-saving controller 42 is used to quickly and instantly issue instructions to the pressurizing device 30 and the rescue system 44. The low-speed CAN line 43 supports single-line mode operation to ensure that the rescue control device 40 is not prone to failure to communicate.

[0037] The call system 44 includes an autonomous rescue SOS system 441 and a multimedia vehicle system 442. After the one-touch start button 41 triggers the life-saving controller 42, the autonomous rescue SOS system 441 receives the instruction of the life-saving controller 42 and connects to the after-sales customer service; at the same time, the multimedia vehicle system 442 will display the current GPS location, and the user can call for help and report the location immediately. Optionally, the autonomous rescue SOS system 441 can also change the calling object, such as calling the nearest police station, traffic control bureau accident handling center, etc.

[0038] The emergency floating device also includes a disposable protective bag 50, which is wrapped around the inflatable blanket receiving tube 20 to prevent the inflatable blanket receiving tube 20 from being contaminated by debris such as mud splashed during the driving of the car. If the car falls into the water, the inflatable blanket 10 is inflated and popped out from the opening 25 of the inflatable blanket receiving tube 20, and the disposable protective bag 50 will be squeezed and quickly ruptured, without hindering the expansion of the inflatable blanket 10.

[0039] Working process of emergency flotation device:

[0040] After the car falls into the water, the user presses the one-touch start button 41 to trigger the life-saving controller 42; the life-saving controller 42 transmits the start-up working signal to the rescue system 44 and the pressurizing device 30 through the low-speed CAN line 43; the air compressor 31 is turned on by the pressurization command, and the air pump 32 pumps the compressed gas through the inflation pipe to intake air from the middle of the inflatable blanket 10 and inflate the two ends. After the inflatable blanket 10 is full, it pops up and covers the water surface, and the disposable protective bag 50 ruptures; at the same time, the autonomous rescue SOS system 441 receives the call command from the life-saving controller 42 and connects to the after-sales customer service, so that the user can call the police for help; at the same time, the multimedia car system 442 receives the positioning command from the life-saving controller 42, displays the specific GPS positioning, and the user can provide his or her own location during the alarm and help process.

[0041] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present application sets an emergency floating device on the vehicle body, which is usually stored in a storage tube, does not occupy the space in the vehicle and is well protected. After the vehicle falls into the water, it can be inflated to lift the vehicle to float on the water surface, thereby ensuring the personal safety and property safety of passengers. At the same time, the rescue control device 40 can contact a third party immediately after the one-button start of the call for help, and at the same time report the GPS positioning to speed up the search and rescue work, providing conditions and time for the user to be rescued immediately.
