[0024] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a water rescue equipment launching device which is mainly composed of a chassis, an equipment detachment mechanism 14 and a driving mechanism.

[0027] The chassis is made of 304 stainless steel, treated with rust prevention, and has a fully sealed structure. During daily storage and use, it can effectively protect the water rescue equipment 15 stored inside the chassis from being eroded by sea winds and rainstorms, thereby extending the service life of the internal water rescue equipment 15. The chassis mainly includes a box body 2 and a cover body 1 covering the box body 2. The chassis is preferably designed to be a structure that can rotate in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. Specifically, the box body 2 is rotatably mounted on a fixed frame through a connecting rod 8. When the water rescue equipment launching device is used on an offshore oil engineering platform, the fixed frame can be a railing 7 around the platform. One end of the second electric cylinder 10 is rotatably connected to the box body 2 through the rotating shaft 9, and the other end of the second electric cylinder 10 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame (such as the railing 7) through the rotating shaft 9; the second electric cylinder 10 is extended to drive the box body 2 to rotate between the vertical position and the horizontal position. Specifically, the chassis is usually arranged vertically, and the cover body 1 is covered on the top of the box body 2 to close the box body 2 to prevent rain and dust from entering the box body 2. When working, the second electric cylinder 10 extends to push the box body 2 to rotate counterclockwise. When the chassis rotates from the vertical position to the horizontal position ( Figure 1 The chassis is in a horizontal position), and the second electric cylinder 10 stops running; then the driving mechanism drives the cover body 1 and the equipment detachment mechanism 14 to move in the horizontal direction to realize the opening of the chassis, and the equipment detachment mechanism 14 extends out of the box 2. When it moves into position with the water rescue equipment 15 in the horizontal direction, the water rescue equipment 15 is lowered and detached; then the driving mechanism lifts the equipment detachment mechanism 14, drives the cover body 1 and the equipment detachment mechanism 14 to move in the horizontal direction, so that the chassis equipment detachment mechanism retracts into the chassis, the cover body 1 is buckled on the box 2, and the chassis is closed; then the second electric cylinder 10 is controlled to retract so as to pull the box 2 to rotate clockwise, and when the chassis rotates from the horizontal position to the vertical position, the second electric cylinder 10 stops running. A second external switch is arranged on the outside of the second electric cylinder 10, and the operation of the second electric cylinder 10 can be controlled by the second external switch. A chassis door is arranged on one side of the chassis, and the water rescue equipment 15 can be placed through the chassis door. An inspection door is also provided on the other side of the chassis to facilitate inspection of various components inside the chassis.

[0028] In order to better control the rotation of the chassis, the water rescue equipment launching device is also provided with a braking system, which includes a second travel switch and a limit block 11. The second travel switch is connected to the second electric cylinder 10 and controls the operation of the second electric cylinder 10. When the chassis moves into place, the second travel switch is triggered to stop the second electric cylinder 10. The limit block 11 is fixedly set on the railing 7. When the box body 2 rotates from the vertical position to the horizontal position, the limit block 11 abuts against the connecting rod 8 to limit the box body 2 from rotating from the vertical position to the horizontal position. By adding the limit block 11 to mechanically limit the chassis, it can effectively prevent the water rescue equipment 15 (such as a lifeboat) from being overweight when falling, causing the chassis to flip outward and causing equipment damage.

[0029] The second electric cylinder 10 is preferably an electric cylinder with a brake, and the second electric cylinder 10 automatically brakes when the chassis rotates into place. Preferably, two second electric cylinders 10 are provided, and the two second electric cylinders 10 are respectively provided on both sides of the box body 2 and are rotatably connected to the box body 2. The box body 2 can be driven to rotate more smoothly through the two second electric cylinders 10. Through the synergistic effect of the brake provided by the second electric cylinder 10 and the limit block 11, the movement of the chassis can be controlled. When it is necessary to shut down the motor 17 and fix the chassis, the braking system can provide a stable braking force to ensure the safety and reliability of the movement.

[0030] The driving mechanism includes a horizontal moving mechanism and a lifting mechanism.

[0031] The horizontal movement mechanism is mainly composed of a sliding rod 4, a sliding rail 3 and a first electric cylinder 5. The sliding rail 3 is fixedly installed in the chassis, one end of the sliding rod 4 is slidably installed on the sliding rail 3, and the cover body 1 of the chassis is fixedly installed at the end of the other end of the sliding rod 4. The first electric cylinder 5 is retractable, one end of the first electric cylinder 5 is located inside the box body 2 and is fixedly connected to the box body 2, and the other end is retractable and fixedly connected to the cover body 1. When the first electric cylinder 5 is extended, it drives the cover body 1 away from the box body 2, and the cover body 1 drives the sliding rod 4 to move along the sliding rail 3, so that the sliding rod 4 extends out of the box body 2; when the first electric cylinder 5 is retracted, it pulls the cover body 1 close to the box body 2, and the cover body 1 drives the sliding rod 4 to move along the sliding rail 3, so that the sliding rod 4 retracts into the box body 2, and the cover body 1 is re-covered on the box body 2. In order to better control the movement of the cover body 1, a first travel switch is also included. The first travel switch is connected to the first electric cylinder 5 and controls the operation of the first electric cylinder 5. When the cover body 1 moves into place, the first travel switch is triggered to stop the operation of the first electric cylinder 5. The first electric cylinder 5 is preferably an electric cylinder with a brake, and the first electric cylinder 5 brakes when the cover body 1 moves into place. Preferably, a first peripheral switch can be provided outside the chassis, and the operation of the first electric cylinder 5 can be controlled by the first peripheral switch. In order to push the cover body 1 more smoothly, four slide rails 3 and four sliding rods 4 are preferably provided, and two slide rails 3 and two sliding rods 4 are provided inside the box body 2, respectively, and the cover body 1 is fixed to the end of the four sliding rods 4 away from the bottom of the chassis.

[0032] The lifting mechanism includes a cable 13, a pay-off drum 16, a motor 17, a rotating shaft 18 and two bearing seats 19; the pay-off drum 16, the motor 17, the rotating shaft 18 and the two bearing seats 19 are all installed in the chassis, wherein the two bearing seats 19 are fixedly installed in the chassis near the bottom, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 18 are respectively rotatably installed on the two bearing seats 19, the pay-off drum 16 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 18 by welding, and the rotating shaft 18 and the output shaft of the motor 17 are respectively fixedly provided with gears 22, and the motor 17 is connected and drives the rotating shaft 18 to rotate through the gear 22, and the rotating shaft 18 rotates to drive the pay-off drum 16 to rotate when the rotating shaft 18 rotates. A fixed pulley 12 is fixedly installed on the sliding rod 4, and one end of the cable 13 is wound around the pay-off drum 16, and one end of the cable 13 is connected to the device separation mechanism 14 after passing through the fixed pulley 12. The motor 17 rotates forward and reversely to drive the rotating shaft 18 to drive the pay-off drum 16 to rotate forward and reverse, and the cable is retracted and released, thereby realizing the lowering and lifting recovery of the device separation mechanism 14. A third peripheral switch is arranged outside the chassis, and the operation of the motor 17 can be controlled by the third peripheral switch.

[0033] The equipment detachment mechanism 14 is arranged at the connection between the cable 13 and the water rescue equipment 15, and is used to release the water rescue equipment 15 to the water surface to implement the rescue task after the water rescue equipment 15 is in place. The equipment detachment mechanism 14 includes an electromagnet 20, a power supply and a switch. The electromagnet 20 is connected to the cable 13 through a metal clip, and the cable 13 is wrapped with a wire. The power supply is connected to the coil of the electromagnet 20 through the wire. The switch is arranged on the wire, and the on-off of the circuit between the power supply and the coil of the electromagnet 20 can be controlled by the switch. An iron plate 21 is fixed on the water rescue equipment 15, and the water rescue equipment 15 is adsorbed on the electromagnet 20 of the detachment mechanism through the iron plate 21. When the water rescue equipment 15 needs to be detached, the switch is operated to stop the power supply to the electromagnet 20. After the electromagnet 20 is powered off, the magnetism disappears, and the water rescue equipment 15 is detached from the equipment detachment mechanism 14. The power supply can be arranged inside the distribution box 6. Preferably, the power supply can provide 24V DC to prevent accidents of electric shock to personnel. The switch may preferably be an electromagnetic switch, which may be installed inside the device detachment mechanism 14 .
