Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of search and rescue detection, and in particular relates to an electrically-driven parallel-driven flexible detection rope equipped with a camera. Background Art

[0002] Natural disasters such as earthquakes, mining accidents and tsunamis are considered unavoidable. When natural disasters occur, they will cause building collapse and casualties. People will not be able to escape in time and will be buried. The most urgent task after a disaster is to search and rescue survivors trapped in the rubble.

[0003] In the prior art, during the rescue process, life detection is performed manually with the help of instruments. Most life detectors use sensors and other means for detection. The detection process is also located in the external space of the ruins. The result obtained is whether there are people buried. The positioning information, physiological information, and environmental information of the buried people and the trapped area cannot be obtained, and it is impossible to provide protection for subsequent rescue work.

[0004] The Chinese patent with the publication number CN102784444A discloses a technical solution named portable life detection flexible rope, which includes five parts: direction control unit, flexible telescopic unit, quick-insert expansion unit, force unit and direction control platform.

The control part of the flexible rope adopts manual loading, which is laborious to operate; the control handle needs to use the lever principle to amplify the control force, so the overall outline size of the control box is too large, which is not convenient to carry in emergency rescue detection; the control rope tensioning mechanism adopts a ratchet tensioner, which is limited by the ratchet and cannot achieve stepless adjustment, cannot achieve any length adjustment, and has poor adjustment continuity; the direction control section adopts a cross universal coupling, which has a large mass, a large limit on the radial size of the flexible rope, and no angle recovery ability.
