[0042] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a ship warning auxiliary system provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the case where the original ship warning broadcasting system is modified. Figure 1 As shown, the system includes:

[0043] The wireless signal forwarding device 110 and the wearable warning device 120, the wireless signal forwarding device 110 is wirelessly connected to the wearable warning device 120, and the wireless signal forwarding device 110 is communicatively connected to the original ship warning broadcasting system; the wireless signal forwarding device 110 is used to activate and start when receiving the warning signal output by the original ship warning broadcasting system, and send the warning signal output by the original ship warning broadcasting system to the wearable warning device 120; the wearable warning device 120 is used to receive the warning signal output by the original ship warning broadcasting system, and play the warning sound corresponding to the warning signal output by the original ship warning broadcasting system.

[0044] The ship warning auxiliary system of the embodiment of the present invention realizes the close-range playback of the warning sound through the wearable warning device 120, so that the staff can clearly hear the warning sound, solving the problem of poor listening effect of the original ship warning playback system in a noisy environment.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present invention, the original ship warning broadcasting system refers to the existing warning broadcasting system of the ship, which may include an alarm system and / or a broadcasting system. The alarm system may be a general alarm system capable of generating an alarm signal. The broadcasting system may be an emergency broadcasting system capable of generating a broadcasting signal.

[0046] In some optional implementations, the original ship warning broadcasting system includes an alarm system and a broadcasting system, that is, the alarm system and the broadcasting system can be combined to obtain the original ship warning broadcasting system, so that the alarm signal and the broadcasting signal can be played through the broadcasting loudspeaker.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, the wireless signal forwarding device 110 is connected to the original ship warning broadcasting system by wire or wireless communication, and can be used for receiving or sending signals.

[0048] Exemplarily, the wireless signal forwarding device 110 may be a wireless communication device such as a mobile hotspot (WiFi) module or a Bluetooth module, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present invention, the wearable warning device 120 refers to a device worn by ship staff, which can be used to output warning signals such as alarm signals or emergency broadcasts.

[0050] Optionally, the wireless signal forwarding device 110 is further used to: obtain the length of time when the warning signal is not received; and enter a sleep state when the length of time when the warning signal is not received is greater than a first preset time length threshold.

[0051] The first preset time length threshold can be obtained by the user according to the user's experience and is not specifically limited here. It should be noted that the wireless signal forwarding device 110 automatically enters the sleep state when the time length without receiving the warning signal is greater than the first preset time length threshold, thereby reducing the power consumption of the wireless signal forwarding device 110.

[0052] Exemplarily, after the wireless signal forwarding device 110 does not receive a warning signal for 3 minutes, the wireless signal forwarding device 110 may automatically enter a sleep state.

[0053] Figure 2The structural diagram of a ship warning auxiliary system provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. The system of this embodiment can be combined with each optional solution of the ship warning auxiliary system provided in the above embodiment. The ship warning auxiliary system provided in this embodiment is further optimized. Optionally, the wearable warning device 120 includes a speaker 121.

[0054] Among them, the speaker 121 on the wearable warning device 120 can be used to play the warning sound corresponding to the warning signal output by the original ship warning broadcasting system to remind the staff that an alarm or emergency has occurred on the ship.

[0055] The number of the speakers 121 may be one, two or more, which is not specifically limited here. The speakers 121 may be bone conduction speakers or other types of speakers, which are not specifically limited here. When the speakers 121 are bone conduction speakers, clear warning sound transmission can be achieved in a noisy environment, so that the staff can clearly hear the warning sound.

[0056] Optionally, the decibel level of the warning sound played by the speaker 121 is greater than a preset decibel threshold.

[0057] The preset decibel threshold can be customized by the user based on experience.

[0058] It should be noted that setting the decibel number of the warning sound played by the speaker 121 to be greater than the preset decibel threshold can avoid the situation where the sound is too small, thereby ensuring that the staff can clearly hear the warning sound.

[0059] Optionally, the wearable warning device 120 is a device worn on the user's neck, and the decibel level of the warning sound played by the speaker 121 is greater than 12.04 decibels.

[0060] It should be noted that when the wearable warning device 120 is a device worn on the user's neck, the distance between the wearable warning device 120 and the staff's ears will be less than 25 cm. Therefore, setting the decibel number of the warning sound played by the speaker 121 to greater than 12.04 decibels can enable the staff to clearly hear the warning sound.

[0061] Optionally, the wearable alert device 120 includes a vibration motor and / or a flashing light.

[0062] In some embodiments, after the wearable warning device 120 receives the warning signal output by the original ship warning broadcast system, the wearable warning device 120 can control the vibration motor to vibrate to remind the staff. In some embodiments, after the wearable warning device 120 receives the warning signal output by the original ship warning broadcast system, the wearable warning device 120 can control the flash light to flash to remind the staff. In some embodiments, after the wearable warning device 120 receives the warning signal output by the original ship warning broadcast system, the wearable warning device 120 can simultaneously control the vibration motor to vibrate and control the flash light to flash to remind the staff.

[0063] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a ship warning assistance system provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The system of this embodiment can be combined with the various optional schemes of the ship warning assistance system provided in the above embodiments. The ship warning assistance system provided in this embodiment has been further optimized. Optionally, the wearable warning device 120 includes a warning reset button 122; accordingly, the wearable warning device 120 is also used to: generate a warning reset signal in response to the user's selection operation of the warning reset button 122, and send the warning reset signal to the wireless signal forwarding device 110; the wireless signal forwarding device 110 is communicatively connected with the engineer safety alarm system, and the wireless signal forwarding device 110 is also used to: send the warning reset signal to the engineer safety alarm system to reset the engineer safety alarm system.

[0064] The alarm reset button 122 is used to reset the engineer safety alarm system to eliminate the safety alarm. The alarm reset button 122 can be a physical button or a virtual button, which is not specifically limited here.

[0065] The engineer safety alarm system includes a start button and a reset button. The engineer safety alarm system is a safety system set up to prevent engineers from entering the engine room from getting into an accident without anyone knowing. Its specific operating rules are as follows: when an engineer enters the engine room, the engineer safety alarm system is started. The engineer needs to reset the engineer safety alarm system once every preset time, otherwise the alarm is triggered to notify the staff to rescue the engineer.

[0066] Exemplarily, the warning reset button 122 on the wearable warning device 120 is pressed for more than one second to trigger the generation of a warning reset signal, which is an engineer safety alarm reset signal. The engineer safety alarm reset signal is then wirelessly transmitted to the wireless signal forwarding device 110, which then converts the engineer safety alarm reset signal into a switch signal and sends it to the engineer safety alarm system, thereby resetting the engineer safety alarm system.

[0067] It should be noted that by providing a warning reset button 122 on the wearable warning device 120, the engineer can reset the safety alarm without having to go to a fixed location to find the reset button, which provides convenience for resetting the safety alarm.

[0068] Optionally, the wearable warning device 120 is also used to: obtain the time length of receiving the warning signal; generate a rescue alarm signal when the time length of receiving the warning signal is greater than a second preset time length threshold; send the rescue alarm signal to the wireless signal forwarding device 110; accordingly, the wireless signal forwarding device 110 is also used to: send the rescue alarm signal to the original ship warning broadcasting system; accordingly, the original ship warning broadcasting system is also used to: play the rescue alarm sound corresponding to the rescue alarm signal.

[0069] The second preset time length threshold is obtained by user's self-defined setting based on experience, and is not specifically limited here. The rescue alarm signal refers to a signal that can generate a rescue alarm sound.

[0070] Exemplarily, when the engineer enters the engine room, the engineer safety alarm system is activated. If the engineer does not press the alarm reset button 122 within one minute of receiving the alarm signal, a rescue alarm signal is generated, and the rescue alarm signal is sent to the wireless signal forwarding device 110; the wireless signal forwarding device 110 then sends the rescue alarm signal to the original ship alarm broadcasting system, and the original ship alarm broadcasting system plays the rescue alarm sound corresponding to the rescue alarm signal to notify the staff to rescue the engineer.

[0071] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a ship warning assistance system provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The system of this embodiment can be combined with the various optional schemes of the ship warning assistance system provided in the above embodiments. The ship warning assistance system provided in this embodiment is further optimized. Optionally, the original ship warning broadcast system is communicatively connected with the alarm light post system 130, and the original ship warning broadcast system is also used to: send a rescue alarm signal to the alarm light post system 130; correspondingly, the alarm light post system 130 is also used to: play the rescue alarm sound corresponding to the rescue alarm signal and control the flashing of the light.

[0072] The warning lamp post system may include, but is not limited to, flashing lights and horns.

[0073] The ship warning auxiliary system of the embodiment of the present invention realizes the playback of the rescue alarm sound corresponding to the rescue alarm signal and controls the flashing of the light through the alarm light column system 130, so that the staff can hear the rescue alarm sound and the rescue flashing light, thereby expanding the rescue alarm output range.

[0074] For example, Figure 5 A structural schematic diagram of a ship warning auxiliary system provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The wireless signal forwarding device 110 is connected to the original ship warning broadcasting system by wired communication, the original ship warning broadcasting system is connected to the alarm lamp post system 130 by wired communication, the original ship warning broadcasting system includes a broadcasting speaker 101, and the wireless signal forwarding device 110 is connected to the wearable warning device 120 by wireless communication. When the wireless signal forwarding device 110 receives the warning signal output by the original ship warning broadcasting system, it is activated and starts, and sends the warning signal output by the original ship warning broadcasting system to the wearable warning device 120; the wearable warning device 120 receives the warning signal output by the original ship warning broadcasting system, and plays the warning sound corresponding to the warning signal output by the original ship warning broadcasting system. The wearable warning device 120 realizes the close-range playback of the warning sound, so that the staff can clearly listen to the warning sound, which solves the problem of poor listening effect of the original ship warning broadcasting system in a noisy environment.

[0075] Furthermore, the wearable warning device 120 includes a speaker 121 and a warning reset button 122. When the warning reset button 122 is pressed, it triggers the generation of a warning reset signal, and then the warning reset signal is input to the wireless signal forwarding device 110, and then the wireless signal forwarding device 110 sends the warning reset signal to the engineer safety alarm system to reset the engineer safety alarm system. It should be noted that the engineer safety alarm system includes a start button 141 and a reset button 142. By setting the warning reset button 122 on the wearable warning device 120, the engineer can reset the safety alarm without having to go to a fixed position to find the reset button 142, which provides convenience for resetting the safety alarm.

[0076] Furthermore, when the engineer enters the engine room, the engineer presses the start button 141 to start the engineer safety alarm system. If the engineer does not press the alarm reset button 122 or the reset button 142 within one minute of receiving the alarm signal, a rescue alarm signal is generated, and then the rescue alarm signal is sent to the wireless signal forwarding device 110; then the wireless signal forwarding device 110 sends the rescue alarm signal to the original ship alarm broadcasting system, and then the original ship alarm broadcasting system broadcasts the rescue alarm sound corresponding to the rescue alarm signal through the broadcasting speaker 101 to notify the staff to rescue the engineer.

[0077] Furthermore, the original ship warning broadcasting system is connected to the alarm light post system 130 by wired communication, and the original ship warning broadcasting system can send the rescue alarm signal to the alarm light post system 130; and then the alarm light post system 130 plays the rescue alarm sound corresponding to the rescue alarm signal and controls the light to flash.

[0078] The above specific implementations do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modification, equivalent substitution and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
