For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0027] Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A quick release device applied to an inflatable lifeboat, as shown in, includes a fixed mounting base 1 fixedly installed on the hull deck. An upper rotating seat 2 is movably assembled at the upper end of the fixed mounting base 1. An electric control flip inner arm 3 is movably installed at the upper end of the upper rotating seat 2 through a top frame. An electric control flip outer arm 4 is movably assembled outside the electric control flip inner arm 3. A plurality of hidden inflatable lifeboat modules 5 are arranged on the side wall of the electric control flip outer arm 4.

[0028] Working principle: The upper rotating seat 2 rotates at the upper end of the fixed mounting base 1, thereby adjusting the angles of the electric control flip inner arm 3 and the electric control flip outer arm 4. Then, the inner angle is changed through the electric control flip inner arm 3, and then the angle is adjusted through the electric control flip outer arm 4. Then, the hidden inflatable lifeboat module 5 is released at a designated position as needed.

[0029] In order to control the overall rotation of the device, a main drive motor module 6 is bolted to the upper surface of the upper rotating seat 2.

[0030] An annular tooth groove is formed at the upper end of the upper rotating seat 2. The main drive motor module 6 is meshed and driven with the annular tooth groove through a drive gear on the bottom drive shaft.

[0031] In order to cooperate with the lateral adjustment and flipping, the electric control flip inner arm 3 includes a flip inner arm body 31 movably installed in the top frame through a bottom side movable shaft and a first adjustment strut 32 for controlling the angle adjustment of the flip inner arm body 31.

[0032] The flip inner arm body 31 can also adopt an electric control telescopic structure design and use an internal strut design to adjust the length.

[0033] To cooperate with external assembly control, a lateral mounting frame 33 for mounting the electrically controlled flipping outer arm 4 is fixedly welded on the side wall of the inner arm body 31 for flipping.

[0034] To cooperate with electrically controlled flipping and electrically controlled rotation adjustment, the electrically controlled flipping outer arm 4 includes a flipping outer arm body 41 movably mounted in the lateral mounting frame 33 through an upper side movable shaft, a second adjusting strut 42 for controlling the angle adjustment of the flipping outer arm body 41, an outer storage cylinder 43 movably sleeved outside the flipping outer arm body 41, and a side-mounted adjusting motor 44 for controlling the rotation of the outer storage cylinder 43.

[0035] The flipping outer arm body 41 is composed of a thicker section movably assembled with the lateral mounting frame 33 and a thinner section movably assembled with the outer storage cylinder 43, and a lateral air inlet is provided inside it.

[0036] The second adjusting strut 42 controls the angle adjustment of the flipping outer arm body 41 by telescoping, while the side-mounted adjusting motor 44 controls the rotation of the outer storage cylinder 43.

[0037] To cooperate with the outer storage cylinder 43, a plurality of internal storage grooves 45 for storing the hidden inflatable lifeboat module 5 are provided on the outer wall of the outer storage cylinder 43.

[0038] To facilitate closing and storage, the hidden inflatable lifeboat module 5 includes an arc-shaped sealing cover plate 51 movably installed at the outer opening position of the internal storage groove 45, a control strut 52 installed on one inner wall of the internal storage groove 45, and an inflatable lifeboat 53 installed on the inner arc surface of the arc-shaped sealing cover plate 51.

[0039] The control strut 52 adjusts the angle of the arc-shaped sealing cover plate 51 by telescoping to open or close the outer opening of the internal storage groove 45. For storage, the inflatable lifeboat 53 is folded and then stuffed into the internal storage groove 45, and then the arc-shaped sealing cover plate 51 closes the outer opening of the internal storage groove 45 to complete the installation. The inflatable lifeboat 53 can be reused. After deflating and folding it later, it can be installed again.

[0040] To cooperate with electric inflation, an electric inflator 46 is provided inside the end of the outer storage cylinder 43, and a side guide air pipe 47 connecting the exhaust port of the electric charging pump 46 and the inflation port of the inflatable lifeboat 53 is fixedly assembled on the outer arc surface of the outer storage cylinder 43.

[0041] The electric inflator 46 rotates at a high speed to pump external air from the lateral air inlet into the interior of the outer storage cylinder 43, and then guides it into the interior of the inflatable lifeboat 53 through the side guide air pipe 47 to inflate the inflatable lifeboat 53 and make it quickly expand and take shape.

[0042] To cooperate with the illumination of the release end, an end illumination module 7 is axially fixed to the end of the flipping outer arm body 41.

[0043] To cooperate with the rotational adjustment, an outer adjustment gear 48 of an integral structure is axially fixed to the end of the outer storage cylinder body 43, and a lateral limit adjustment cover 49 for fixedly mounting the side-hung adjustment motor 44 is fixedly assembled at the connection end of the end of the flipping outer arm body 41.

[0044] The side-hung adjustment motor 44 is in meshing transmission with the outer adjustment gear 48 through a control gear on the adjustment shaft, so as to control the rotation adjustment of the outer storage cylinder body 43.

[0045] By driving the outer adjustment gear 48 with the side-hung adjustment motor 44 to drive the outer storage cylinder body 43 to rotate, the upper opening can be selected, and then the inflatable lifeboat 53 can be inflated. After inflation, the outer storage cylinder body 43 can be rotated to be released, or the outer side of the flipping outer arm body 41 can be controlled to be slidably released.

[0046] Enlightened by the above ideal embodiments according to the present invention, through the above description, relevant staff can completely make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical idea of this invention. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the content in the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
