[0046] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] See also Figure 1-13 The present invention provides a technical solution: an intelligent inductive inflatable life jacket, comprising:

[0048] A heart rate belt 1, two ends of which are respectively clamped on two ends of a heart rate monitor 2, and a hidden groove 3 is provided on the surface of the heart rate belt 1;

[0049] A plurality of flat air bags 4, which are stuck in the hidden groove 3, and the plurality of flat air bags 4 are connected to the heart rate belt 1;

[0050] An air pressure buffer chamber 5, which is connected to the heart rate belt 1, and the air pressure buffer chamber 5 is connected to the plurality of flat air bags 4 through a main pipe 6;

[0051] Multiple groups of gas cylinder release mechanisms 7, which are installed in the gas pressure buffer bin 5;

[0052] A plurality of pressure gas cylinders 8, which are screwed into the gas pressure buffer chamber 5, and the plurality of pressure gas cylinders 8 are screwed to a plurality of gas cylinder release mechanisms 7 respectively;

[0053] A release determination mechanism 9, which is installed on the air pressure buffer chamber 5, and the release determination mechanism 9 is electrically connected to a plurality of gas cylinder release mechanisms 7, and the release determination mechanism 9 is connected to the heart rate monitor 2 via Bluetooth communication;

[0054] A mobile power source 10, which is installed in the air pressure buffer chamber 5, and the mobile power source 10 supplies power to multiple groups of the gas cylinder release mechanism 7 and the release determination mechanism 9;

[0055] The pressures in the multiple pressure cylinders 8 are different, which can avoid the situation where a single pressure cylinder 8 fails, and can also supplement the situation where the pressure in the flat airbag 4 is insufficient;

[0056] The release determination mechanism 9 includes a controller 91, a film pressure sensor 92, a water immersion sensor 93 and an air pressure sensor 94. The controller 91, the film pressure sensor 92 and the water immersion sensor 93 are all installed on the outside of the air pressure buffer chamber 5, and the air pressure sensor 94 is installed on the inside of the air pressure buffer chamber 5. The controller 91 is electrically connected to the film pressure sensor 92, the mobile power supply 10, the water immersion sensor 93 and the air pressure sensor 94. The controller 91 communicates with the heart rate monitor 2 via Bluetooth. The controller 91 communicates with multiple groups of the air pressure sensors 94. The bottle release mechanism 7 is electrically connected, the film pressure sensor 92 can sense the water pressure and can be used to determine the depth of the swimmer under water. If the diving depth suddenly changes during swimming, it can be used as a basis for judging whether the swimmer is in danger. The water immersion sensor 93 needs to sense whether the swimmer has entered the water. If the swimmer has not entered the water, it is not allowed to inflate the flat airbag 4. The sudden change in heart rate can also be used as a basis for judging whether the swimmer is in danger. The air pressure sensor 94 is used to monitor the air pressure condition of the flat airbag 4 after inflation, so that the intelligent sensing automatic inflation of the life jacket can be realized, and the use effect is good;

[0057] The gas cylinder release mechanism 7 includes a control valve 71 and an electric telescopic rod 72. The pressure gas cylinder 8 is screwed on the control valve 71. The electric telescopic rod 72 is installed in the air pressure buffer chamber 5 and abuts against the control valve 71. The electric telescopic rod 72 is electrically connected to the controller 91. The electric telescopic rod 72 pushes the control valve 71 to quickly release the gas in the pressure gas cylinder 8 into the multiple flat air bags 4. The flat air bags 4 are floated and supported by the buoyancy after being inflated.

[0058] The control valve 71 includes a sleeve 711, a plug 712, a spike 713, a spring 714 and a trigger rod 715. The sleeve 711 is fixedly connected to the air pressure buffer chamber 5. The end of the pressure gas cylinder 8 is screwed to one end of the sleeve 711. The other end of the sleeve 711 is provided with an air outlet 11. The spike 713 is arranged in the sleeve 711 and inserted into the pressure gas cylinder 8. The plug 712 is connected to the spike 713 through the spring 714, and the plug 712 blocks the air outlet 11. The trigger rod 715 is provided with a spring 714 and a trigger rod 715. The rod 715 passes through the air outlet 11 and is connected to the plug 712. The trigger rod 715 points to the electric telescopic rod 72. After the cone thorn 713 pierces the pressure gas cylinder 8, the gas in the pressure gas cylinder 8 enters the interior of the sleeve 711. The electric telescopic rod 72 pushes the trigger rod 715 to move in the air outlet 11. After the plug 712 leaves the air outlet 11, the gas in the sleeve 711 enters the air pressure buffer chamber 5 from the air outlet 11, and the gas then enters the multiple flat airbags 4 from the main pipeline 6 to inflate, so that the entire life jacket can be quickly inflated.

[0059] A gap is left between the trigger rod 715 and the gas outlet 11 to ensure that the gas in the pressure cylinder 8 is smoothly released into the pressure buffer chamber and then smoothly rushed into the multiple flat airbags 4;

[0060] Positioning posts 12 are provided at both ends of the heart rate belt 1, and two positioning grooves 13 are provided on the heart rate monitor 2. The two positioning posts 12 are respectively inserted into the two positioning grooves 13, which facilitates the rapid disassembly and assembly between the heart rate belt 1 and the heart rate monitor 2, thereby ensuring the rapid donning of the entire life jacket.

[0061] Working principle: First, before the swimmer enters the water, check whether the heart rate monitor 2 is working properly, check the Bluetooth connection status between the heart rate monitor 2 and the controller 91, check the power of the mobile power supply 10, replace multiple new pressure cylinders 8, ensure that the pressure of each pressure cylinder 8 is different, screw the end of the pressure cylinder 8 into the air pressure buffer chamber 5, and screw the end of the pressure cylinder 8 into the sleeve 711, and the cone thorn 713 pierces the pressure cylinder 8 so that the gas in the pressure cylinder 8 enters the interior of the sleeve 711, and the plug 711 is closed under the action of air pressure and spring 714. 2 firmly blocks the air outlet 11, and the gas does not enter the air pressure buffer chamber 5 at this time, so the flat airbag 4 is in the state of being clamped in the hidden groove 3. It is only necessary to clamp the positioning column 12 at the end of the heart rate belt 1 into the positioning groove 13 on the heart rate watch 2 to complete the wearing of the life jacket. The structural design is exquisite, and it will not interfere with the normal swimming operation of the swimmer after wearing, which greatly improves the user experience. Secondly, after the swimmer enters the water, the water immersion sensor 93 needs to sense whether the swimmer has entered the water, because it is not allowed to enter the flat airbag 4 when the swimmer is not in the water. The thin film pressure sensor 92 can sense the water pressure and can be used to determine the depth of the swimmer under water. If the diving depth suddenly changes during swimming, it can be used as a basis for judging that the swimmer is in danger. The sudden change of heart rate can also be used as a basis for judging that the swimmer is in danger. The controller 91 combines these parameters to control the life jacket to inflate. Then, the electric telescopic rod 72 pushes the trigger rod 715 to move in the air outlet 11. After the plug 712 leaves the air outlet 11, the gas in the sleeve 711 enters the air outlet 11 from the air outlet 11. In the air pressure buffer chamber 5, the gas enters the multiple flat airbags 4 from the main pipeline 6 to be inflated. If the controller 91 cannot quickly change the value of the air pressure sensor 94, the pressure cylinder 8 corresponding to the electric telescopic rod 72 fails, and the controller 91 controls the electric telescopic rod 72 corresponding to another pressure cylinder 8 to work to complete the inflation. Finally, if the pressure value of the air pressure sensor 94 of the pressure cylinder 8 is stable but small after the inflation is completed, the controller 91 controls the electric telescopic rod 72 corresponding to another pressure cylinder 8 with high air pressure to work to complete the inflation.

[0062] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
