Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of self-rescue vehicle technology, specifically a foldable intelligent self-rescue vehicle that can be used in both water and air. Background Technology
[0002] This invention relates to a technical field where maritime accidents occur frequently worldwide, causing severe loss of life and property. For example, the 2014 Sewol ferry disaster in South Korea and the 2015 Eastern Star ferry capsizing resulted in the tragic deaths of hundreds. Existing conventional rescue measures for those in maritime disasters mainly include life jackets, thermal lifesuits, life rings, lifeboats, life rafts, distress signals, and radio communication equipment. However, these existing technologies have significant limitations and blind spots in rescue efforts. These rescue measures are primarily designed for relatively slow and minor maritime accidents such as shipwrecks and capsizing. When faced with major emergencies such as rapid capsizing or sinking, the aforementioned life-saving equipment is almost useless because people are trapped inside the ship's cabins. Trapped personnel face four major challenges in a short period: difficulty escaping from the confined cabins; suffocation due to water ingress; difficulty maintaining body temperature in cold water; and difficulty establishing effective communication with the outside world.
[0003] In summary, existing technical solutions have the technical problem of not being able to help users escape danger or provide users with air and temperature supply. Invention Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a foldable, amphibious intelligent self-rescue vehicle that solves the technical problems of existing solutions being unable to assist users in escaping danger and provide users with air and temperature supply.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides the following technical solution: a foldable amphibious intelligent self-rescue vehicle, comprising a main body, an air compressor cylinder, a propeller, a sensor module, a positioning and communication module, and a handle. This vehicle integrates underwater survival, amphibious mobility, environmental perception, and location / rescue functions. The air compressor cylinder provides continuous oxygen supply underwater or in confined spaces; the propeller provides power for underwater and low-altitude flight; the sensor module detects, images, and plans routes in complex environments; the positioning and communication module sends distress signals and determines its own location; and the handle ensures a secure connection between the user and the device.
[0006] Preferably, the main body has a folding structure, comprising a pair of equipment cases with a hinge between them, and the air compressor bottle and the propeller are housed within the equipment cases. This folding design aims to achieve miniaturization and portability of the equipment. In non-emergency situations, the equipment can be folded into a compact case for easy storage in the ship's cabin and personal transport; in emergencies, it can be quickly unfolded for operation.
[0007] Preferably, the air compressor bottle is equipped with a breathing mask; the breathing mask is a supporting component of the air compressor bottle, and its function is to serve as a gas delivery terminal, stably and effectively delivering the air stored in the compressor bottle to the user, ensuring the user's normal breathing underwater or in oxygen-deficient environments.
[0008] Preferably, the side wall of the main unit is provided with a tool slot, which contains equipment such as a diamond drill, a cutting knife, and hand warmers. The tool slot and its built-in auxiliary tools provide users with means to cope with various obstacles and physiological challenges during escape. The diamond drill is used to break hard obstacles such as glass, the cutting knife is used to cut ropes or entanglements such as weeds, and the hand warmers are used to maintain body temperature in cold water and prevent hypothermia.
[0009] Preferably, the sensor module includes a blue-green laser and an ultrasonic sensor, and the sensor module is disposed on the side wall of the main body; this sensor module is specifically designed for complex underwater environments. The blue-green laser and ultrasonic sensor work together to perform accurate distance measurement and three-dimensional imaging in turbid water, helping the system to identify the cabin structure and locate obstacles, thereby providing environmental data support for the built-in intelligent program to plan the optimal escape route.
[0010] Preferably, the positioning and communication module includes a passive positioning and navigation system and a satellite communication system; this module ensures that the user can establish contact with the outside world under any circumstances. The satellite communication system is responsible for sending distress signals to the global rescue system, breaking through the distance limitations of traditional radio; the BeiDou positioning and navigation system can accurately determine the geographical location of the person in distress, providing precise guidance for rescue teams, and at the same time providing positioning data for the device's own navigation function.
[0011] Preferably, the handle strap is provided with a fixing strap and an operation button; the fixing strap is used to securely bind the user's hand to the device to prevent it from slipping out of the hand when impacted by water flow or when the device moves at high speed; the operation button provides a simple human-machine interface, allowing the user to perform basic operations such as switching on and off and adjusting speed, ensuring that the device can be easily controlled even under a state of high mental tension.
[0012] Preferably, the propeller has dual-purpose water and air capabilities; in water, it acts as an underwater propulsion device to pull the user out of the sunken ship's compartment; before the ship sinks or after the user leaves the water, it can switch to low-altitude flight mode to quickly transport the user to a safe area, greatly expanding the applicable scenarios and self-rescue efficiency of the equipment.
[0013] Beneficial effects
[0014] This invention provides a foldable, amphibious intelligent self-rescue vehicle. Addressing the challenge that existing rescue equipment is ineffective in rescuing people trapped inside ship cabins during major accidents such as ship capsizing and sinking, this invention offers an effective solution. An air compressor provides oxygen underwater, buying valuable time for escape and while awaiting rescue. Equipped with a hand warmer, it provides continuous warmth, effectively preventing hypothermia in cold water. Its low-altitude flight and underwater movement capabilities allow for rapid transport of people to shore before sinking and for assisted evacuation from underwater confined cabins after sinking. Built-in intelligent software, combined with blue-green lasers, ultrasonic sensors, and the BeiDou positioning system, enables precise underwater ranging and imaging, identifying the cabin's location and planning the optimal escape route, automatically pulling the user out of danger. Integrating satellite communication and BeiDou positioning functions, it can more reliably send distress signals and accurately report location compared to traditional wireless equipment, significantly increasing the chances of rescue.

The air compressor bottle 2 and the propeller 3 are housed within the equipment boxes. The folding structure design aims to achieve miniaturization and portability of the equipment. In non-emergency situations, the equipment can be folded into a compact box for easy storage in the cabin and personal transport; in emergency situations, it can be quickly unfolded and put into working condition.
[0022] In this embodiment, the air compressor bottle 2 is further configured to be equipped with a breathing mask; the breathing mask is a supporting component of the air compressor bottle 2, and its function is to serve as a gas delivery terminal to stably and effectively deliver the air stored in the compressor bottle to the user, ensuring the user's normal breathing in underwater or oxygen-deficient environments.
[0023] In this embodiment, the main body 1 is further configured with a tool slot 6 on its side wall, which contains a diamond drill, a cutting knife, and hand warmers. The tool slot 6 and its built-in auxiliary tools provide users with means to cope with various obstacles and physiological challenges during escape. The diamond drill is used to break hard obstacles such as glass, the cutting knife is used to cut ropes or tangled vegetation, and the hand warmers are used to maintain body temperature in cold water and prevent hypothermia.
[0024] In this embodiment, the sensor module 7 is further configured to include a blue-green laser and an ultrasonic sensor, and the sensor module 7 is disposed on the side wall of the main body 1; this sensor module 7 is specifically designed for complex underwater environments. The blue-green laser and the ultrasonic sensor work together to perform accurate distance measurement and three-dimensional imaging in turbid water, helping the system to identify the cabin structure and locate obstacles, thereby providing environmental data support for the built-in intelligent program to plan the optimal escape route.
[0025] In this embodiment, the positioning and communication module 8 is further configured to include a passive positioning and navigation system and a satellite communication system; this module ensures that the user can establish contact with the outside world under any circumstances. The satellite communication system is responsible for sending distress signals to the global rescue system, breaking through the distance limitations of traditional radio; the BeiDou positioning and navigation system can accurately determine the geographical location of the person in distress, providing precise guidance for rescue teams, and at the same time providing positioning data for the device's own navigation function.
[0026] In this embodiment, the handle strap 4 is further configured with a fixing strap 9 and an operation button. The fixing strap 9 is used to securely bind the user's hand to the device to prevent it from slipping out of the hand when impacted by water flow or when the device moves at high speed. The operation button provides a simple human-machine interface, allowing the user to perform basic operations such as switching on and off and adjusting the speed, ensuring that the device can be easily controlled even under a state of high mental tension.
[0027] In this embodiment, the propeller 3 is further configured to have dual-purpose water and air capabilities; in water, it acts as an underwater propulsion device to pull the user out of the sunken ship's compartment; before the ship sinks or after the user leaves the water, it can switch to low-altitude flight mode to quickly transport the user to a safe area, greatly expanding the applicable scenarios and self-rescue efficiency of the equipment.
[0028] Its detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in this field; such as Figure 1-3 As shown, when in use, the walker is unfolded from its stored state and the locking mechanism prevents bending at hinge 5 during use. As a precaution, the user wears an oxygen mask connected to the air compressor cylinder 2.
[0029] The user grips the device handle firmly and can secure it using the securing strap 9 on the handle. The low-altitude flight function of the device is activated by using the operation buttons on the handle (such as power switch, altitude, speed, etc.). The device will use the power generated by the propeller 3 to airlift the user directly from the deck to the shore or a safe area.
[0030] Before the vessel capsizes or sinks, users must immediately put on an oxygen mask and connect to a 1.2L air compressor cylinder 2 to ensure an oxygen supply for 1-5 hours underwater.
[0031] When the seawater temperature is low, you can attach the provided hand warmers to your body to maintain body temperature and prevent hypothermia.
[0032] The user grips the handle strap 4 of the "Sea and Air Intelligent Walking Assistance Device" underwater. Alternatively, the user can use the securing strap 9 to attach the device for assistance.
[0033] The device's built-in blue-green laser and ultrasonic sensors begin to work, performing precise ranging and imaging in the water to identify the surrounding environment and the ship's structure.
[0034] Combining the built-in BeiDou positioning function with preset passenger ship cabin locations and optimal escape route maps, the device will automatically plan an escape path.
[0035] Propeller 3 activates the underwater movement function, generating powerful propulsion to pull the user gripping the handle out of the enclosed cabin and move towards the water surface or shore.
[0036] During the escape, if encountering obstacles such as glass, ropes, or seaweed, users can use the diamond pen provided on the equipment to cut the glass or use a small cutter to cut the ropes and other obstacles.
[0037] Throughout the self-rescue process, the device's built-in satellite communication module will automatically send out distress signals, while the BeiDou positioning system will continuously send the user's precise location so that rescue teams can quickly locate the target.
[0038] The entire process requires no complicated operations; the user simply needs to grip the handle, and the device will intelligently guide them through most of the escape maneuvers.
[0039] It should be noted that in this paper, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
