Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a communication device, and particularly to a satellite communication device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of technology and the popularity of outdoor adventures and extreme sports, satellite communication devices have gradually become indispensable emergency tools for outdoor activity personnel and practitioners in special industries. In remote areas or environments without signal coverage, traditional mobile communication devices often cannot work properly, while satellite communication devices can achieve global communication, thus ensuring timely calling for help and obtaining rescue in case of emergency.

[0003] Most of the existing satellite communication devices are handheld or wearable, and their main feature is that the structure is relatively fixed, and the operation mode is mainly based on the cooperation of both hands or single - hand holding and pressing buttons. However, this operation mode has the following deficiencies in actual use: In case of sudden dangerous situations or during strenuous exercise, users often cannot spare both hands for complex operations. For example, a climber may be hanging on a cliff with one hand, and it is difficult to operate the communication device freely with the other hand; when being attacked by wild animals or suddenly falling, both hands may be in a self - protection state, unable to take out the device in time and complete the alarm operation; Most of the existing devices are of single - host structure. Once the device fails or is damaged, it will lead to the inability to make an emergency alarm for help, thus causing users to miss the best rescue opportunity. In addition, satellite communication devices usually have built - in antennas, and the signal reception effect is closely related to factors such as the device orientation, the user's posture, and the surrounding environment. If the device position cannot be adjusted during fixed wearing or operation, it may result in poor signal reception and affect the rescue effect; At present, although some wearable satellite communication devices can adjust the wearing angle to a certain extent, most of them are manually adjusted, with cumbersome operations and unable to achieve real - time and fast signal optimization. When in a complex environment (such as valleys, jungles), a poor antenna direction may seriously affect the signal quality, and the inability to adjust the device position in time may lead to delays in rescue.

[0004] In view of the above problems, there is an urgent need for a satellite communication device that can achieve single - hand fast operation, has dual - host redundancy guarantee, and can adjust the device position at any time to optimize signal reception, so as to improve the alarm and rescue efficiency and reliability in case of emergency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a satellite communication device. The wearer can achieve the synchronous deployment of two main units and trigger the alarm button with only a single finger bend. At the same time, the dual-main-unit configuration avoids the failure risk caused by a single-unit failure, and the main units can be deployed along the arc-shaped guide rails of the support ring. The device position can be adjusted through finger movements to optimize the signal reception effect of the built-in antenna, thereby ensuring the success rate of calling for help in case of emergency and effectively solving the deficiencies in the prior art.

One end of the drive connection band is connected to the drive shaft, and the other end is connected to the drive sleeve. When the extrusion part is squeezed, the drive sleeve and the drive connection band are positioned and linked. At this time, the movement of the drive sleeve drives the drive connection band to move and then squeeze the floating drive plate.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a connection sleeve is provided at the top of the drive sleeve. The drive connection band passes through the connection sleeve. Positioning pins are provided at the positions of the connection sleeve corresponding to the extrusion parts on both sides. A spring pin is provided at the head of each positioning pin. When the extrusion part is squeezed, the spring pin extends out of the positioning pin and inserts into the drive connection band. When the extrusion parts on both sides are not squeezed, the connection sleeve can move relative to the drive connection band.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, a limiting portion is provided at one end of the driving connection belt extending out and the connecting sleeve, and the outer diameter of the limiting portion is greater than the inner diameter of the connecting sleeve.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the extrusion portions are all made of elastic rubber air bags. A gas guiding cavity is provided in the driving sleeve corresponding to each extrusion portion. The gas guiding cavity communicates with the air inlet ends of the positioning pins, and the ejector pins are ejected after the gas enters the positioning pins.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, a plurality of articulated driving rods are provided. Each articulated driving rod includes a first articulated driving rod and a second articulated driving rod. The first articulated driving rod and the second articulated driving rod are articulated with each other, and the first articulated driving rod and the second articulated driving rod are in a "person" shape.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the inner side end of the floating driving plate is a floating cavity. A support spring is provided in the floating cavity. The support spring is sleeved outside the alarm communication button, and its top extends out of the alarm communication button and contacts and supports the back of the floating driving plate. When the support spring is compressed, the alarm communication button is triggered.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, both the first main unit and the second main unit have independent built-in wires, and are both provided with a speaker, a display screen, a PCB main board and a power supply.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution, arc-shaped guide rails are respectively provided on both sides of the support ring. Guide sliders are provided at the positions corresponding to the arc-shaped guide rails on both sides of the equipment main unit. Reset springs are provided in the arc-shaped guide rails, and the guide sliders are in contact with and supported by the reset springs.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention provides a satellite communication device, and the wearer can realize the synchronous unfolding of the two main units and the triggering of the alarm button only by bending a single finger. At the same time, the dual main unit configuration avoids the failure risk caused by a single machine failure, and the main unit can be unfolded along the arc-shaped guide rail of the support ring.

[0019] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in the disclosed methods or processes, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps, can be combined in any manner.

[0020] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any additional claims, abstract, and drawings), unless specifically stated, can be replaced by other equivalent or features with similar purposes. That is, unless specifically stated, each feature is only an example of a series of equivalent or similar features.

[0021] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, a satellite communication device of the present invention includes a support ring 1. On both sides of the open end of the support ring 1, there are connecting bands 13 for wearing the support ring 1 on the wrist. The support ring 1 is made of a hard material and is worn through the connecting bands 13. It also includes two device hosts, which are respectively movably arranged on both sides of the upper end of the support ring 1. A gap cavity is formed between the two device hosts. The two device hosts can move along the outer circular surface of the support ring 1, thereby adjusting the position of the device hosts. Since built-in antennas are provided inside each device host, different signal strengths can be obtained by adjusting to different positions. It further includes a driving sleeve 12, which is fixedly sleeved on the finger, preferably at a position close to the fingertip. By changing the state of the finger (straight state and joint bending state), the opening and position adjustment of the device host can be controlled. Among them, on both sides of the driving sleeve 12, there is respectively provided a pressing part 11. A driving mechanism is arranged between the driving sleeve 12 and the two device hosts. The driving sleeve 12 is connected to the two device hosts through the driving mechanism. The driving sleeve 12 and the driving mechanism drive the two device hosts to move in an arc along the outer circular surface of the support ring 1. The best position for wearing the driving sleeve 12 is the middle finger. After the wearing is fixed, if you want the driving sleeve 12 to be linked with the driving mechanism, just use the index finger and ring finger on both sides of the middle finger to clamp towards the middle finger direction, then the index finger and ring finger can act on the pressing part 11. When the pressing part 11 is pressed, the driving sleeve 12 can be linked with the driving mechanism.

[0022] In this embodiment, the device host includes a first host 6 and a second host 3. On the side of the first host 6 and the second host 3 facing the driving mechanism, there is respectively provided an alarm communication button 14. On the outer side end of the alarm communication button 14, there is respectively provided a floating driving plate 5. The driving end of the driving mechanism is connected to the floating driving plate 5. In this embodiment, two hosts are used simultaneously, which can improve the stability of use, prevent the single device host from being damaged due to falling and hitting, increase the rescue success rate, and the alarm number can be preset in advance. When the alarm communication button 14 is triggered, rescue alarm can be carried out.

[0023] As Figures 2 - 4 shown, the driving mechanism includes a driving shaft 10. On both sides of the driving shaft 10, there are respectively provided articulated driving rods 4. One end of the articulated driving rod 4 is articulated with the driving shaft 10, and the other end is articulated with the floating driving plate 5. The driving mechanism further includes a driving connecting band 7. One end of the driving connecting band 7 is connected to the driving shaft 10, and the other end is connected to the driving sleeve 12. When the pressing part 11 is pressed, the driving sleeve 12 and the driving connecting band 7 are positioned and linked. At this time, the movement of the driving sleeve 12 drives the driving connecting band 7 to move and then press the floating driving plate 5.

[0024] A connecting sleeve 9 is provided at the top of the driving sleeve 12. The driving connecting belt 7 passes through the connecting sleeve 9. Positioning pins 19 are provided on both sides of the connecting sleeve 9 corresponding to the positions of the pressing parts 11. A spring pin 20 is provided at the head of each positioning pin 19. As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, when the pressing parts 11 are pressed, the spring pins 20 extend out of the positioning pins 19 and are inserted into the driving connecting belt 7. When the pressing parts 11 on both sides are not pressed, the connecting sleeve 9 can move relative to the driving connecting belt 7. The positioning pins 19 are located at the opening on the air inlet side. After the gas enters, the spring pins 20 can be ejected, so as to compress the spring inside the spring pins 20. As long as the pressing of the pressing parts 11 is maintained, the spring pins 20 can be kept in a continuously ejected state, so that the spring pins 20 can be inserted into the driving connecting belt 7 to complete the positioning.

[0025] When the connecting sleeve 9 is in normal use, when the pressing part 11 is not pressed, the driving connecting belt 7 will not be linked with the connecting sleeve 9, and the finger can move freely without a sense of restraint.

[0026] Wherein, a limiting part 8 is provided at one end of the driving connecting belt 7 extending out of the connecting sleeve 9. The outer diameter of the limiting part 8 is larger than the inner diameter of the connecting sleeve 9 to prevent the driving connecting belt 7 from separating from the connecting sleeve 9.

[0027] In this embodiment, the pressing parts 11 are all made of elastic rubber air bags. A gas guide cavity 18 is provided in the driving sleeve 12 corresponding to each pressing part 11. The gas guide cavity 18 is communicated with the air inlet ends of the positioning pins 19. After the gas enters the positioning pins 19, the spring pins 20 are ejected. An air inlet and outlet micropore can be provided between the pressing part 11 and the gas guide cavity 18, so that the gas in the pressing part 11 will not be suddenly squeezed into the gas guide cavity 18 to prevent misoperation.

[0028] As Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a plurality of articulated drive rods 4 are provided, and each articulated drive rod 4 includes a first articulated drive rod 41 and a second articulated drive rod 42. The first articulated drive rod and the second articulated drive rod are articulated with each other, and the first articulated drive rod and the second articulated drive rod form a "person" shape. The opening direction of the articulated angle formed between the first articulated drive rod and the second articulated drive rod faces one side of the drive sleeve 12. When it is necessary to drive the driving mechanism to move, only the pressing parts 11 on both sides of the drive sleeve 12 need to be squeezed first, and then the finger is changed from a straight state to a bent state of the joint. At this time, the drive connection belt 7 can be pulled. When the drive connection belt 7 is pulled, the drive shaft 10 and the articulated drive rods on both sides can be driven to move, and then the floating drive plate 5 is pushed to squeeze the alarm communication button 14, thereby triggering alarm and rescue.

[0029] Among them, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the inner end of the floating drive plate 5 is a floating cavity 15. A support spring 17 is arranged in the floating cavity 15. The support spring 17 is sleeved outside the alarm communication button 14, and its top extends out of the alarm communication button 14 and contacts and supports the back surface of the floating drive plate 5. When the support spring 17 is compressed, the alarm communication button 14 is triggered. When the alarm communication button 14 is compressed, as the finger continues to complete, the floating drive plate 5 and the main body can be pushed to move along the arc-shaped guide rail 2 surface, so as to adjust to different use positions, and the signal output position is adjusted as much as possible through the movement of the finger to obtain a better signal to implement alarm and rescue.

[0030] Among them, the first main body 6 and the second main body 3 both have independent built-in wires, and are both provided with a speaker, a display screen, a PCB main board and a power supply. The current signal strength, power and so on can be displayed on the display screen. During a call, the wearer can control the bending degree of the finger to improve the signal clarity.

[0031] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, arc-shaped guide rails 2 are respectively arranged on both sides of the support ring 1. Guide sliders are arranged at the positions corresponding to the arc-shaped guide rails 2 on both sides of the device main body. A return spring is arranged in each of the arc-shaped guide rails 2. The guide sliders are in contact with and supported by the return spring. When the finger is reset, the device main body can be reset.

[0032] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: The present invention provides a satellite communication device, and the wearer only needs to bend a single finger to realize the synchronous deployment of the two main bodies and the triggering of the alarm button; At the same time, the dual host configuration avoids the risk of failure caused by a single machine failure, and the host can be unfolded along the arc guide 2 of the support ring 1. The position of the device can be adjusted by finger movements to optimize the signal reception effect of the built-in antenna, thereby ensuring the success rate of rescue in emergency situations; This one-handed operation, integrated linkage design effectively solves the problems of inconvenient operation, insufficient reliability and limited signal adjustment of existing satellite communication equipment. It is particularly suitable for emergency alarm and rescue scenarios such as outdoor adventures and high-altitude operations.

[0033] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that are not conceived through creative work should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope defined in the claims.
