Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lifeboat technology, specifically relating to a water surface cleaning and intelligent lifeboat. Background Technology

[0002] With social development and increased human activity, water pollution has become increasingly prominent, especially the accumulation of floating garbage in rivers, lakes, and oceans. This not only disrupts the ecological balance of aquatic bodies but also poses a threat to urban landscapes and human health. Traditional water surface cleanup methods rely heavily on manual dredging or simple mechanical devices, which suffer from low efficiency, limited operational scope, and poor safety.

[0003] Meanwhile, drowning accidents are frequent. According to statistics, approximately 59,000 people lose their lives to drowning in my country every year, most of which occur in unsupervised or untimely waters. Existing lifesaving equipment, such as life rings and lifeboats, are mostly passive rescue tools, lacking active identification and rapid response capabilities, making it difficult to carry out effective rescue within the "golden four minutes" after a person falls into the water.

[0004] Although some intelligent surface work equipment has emerged in recent years, such as unmanned cleaning vessels and remote-controlled rescue boats, their functions are limited and they cannot simultaneously achieve efficient cleanup and intelligent rescue operations. Furthermore, existing equipment still has significant shortcomings in target recognition, positioning accuracy, information transmission, and emergency response, making it difficult to meet the dual demands of efficient cleanup and rapid rescue in complex aquatic environments. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides a surface cleaning and intelligent rescue vessel, featuring automatic surface debris cleaning and multiple rescue functions.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a water surface cleaning and intelligent lifeboat, comprising: a hull, a garbage bin fixedly installed on the right side of the hull, a conveyor belt installed on the garbage bin, one side of the conveyor belt extending to the outside of the garbage bin, and the conveyor belt being inclined, a switch also installed on the garbage bin, a radar device, a positioning device, an alarm device and an information transmission device installed on the top of the hull, and a helipad installed on the top of the hull, on which a drone is parked, the drone carrying a lifebuoy.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the water surface cleaning and intelligent lifeboat of the present invention, the lifebuoy is equipped with a Beidou short message module and a miniature power supply, which is electrically connected to the Beidou short message module.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the water surface cleaning and intelligent lifeboat of the present invention, an installation shell is fixedly installed on the top of the hull, and the radar device, positioning device, alarm device and information transmission device are all fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the installation shell, and a top cover is movably installed on the top of the installation shell.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the water surface cleaning and intelligent lifeboat of the present invention, the top of the mounting shell is provided with slots near the four corners, and each of the four slots is movably connected to a locking rod. The outer walls of the four locking rods are provided with multiple sets of anti-slip textures, and the four locking rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the top cover.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the water surface cleaning and intelligent lifeboat of the present invention, a transparent viewing window is installed through the top cover, and two anti-slip pads are also embedded and fixedly installed on the top cover.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the water surface cleaning and intelligent lifeboat of the present invention, multiple sets of ventilation slots are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the mounting shell, and mounting frames are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the mounting shell, with a waterproof and breathable membrane installed in the inner cavity of the mounting frame.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the water surface cleaning and intelligent lifeboat of the present invention, each of the two mounting frames is fixedly connected to two handles on opposite sides.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the water surface cleaning and intelligent lifeboat of the present invention, two limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the two mounting frames on opposite sides, and four limiting grooves are provided on the top of the mounting shell, with the four limiting blocks respectively movably inserted into the inner cavity of the corresponding limiting groove.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] 1. This invention integrates automatic surface debris collection and intelligent emergency rescue functions. It achieves efficient and continuous collection of floating debris through a conveyor belt and garbage bins mounted on the hull, while using radar, drones and lifebuoy systems to quickly identify and rescue people who have fallen into the water, effectively solving the problems of single function and slow response of traditional equipment.

[0016] 2. By using radar devices to identify the scene after a person falls into the water, and combining them with positioning devices and information transmission systems, the three-dimensional coordinates of the person can be generated in a very short time and an alarm can be triggered, realizing the full automation of the "discovery-location-alarm-rescue" process, which greatly improves rescue efficiency and success rate.

[0017] 3. The drone is equipped with a lifebuoy and can take off automatically after receiving a coordinate signal. It locks onto the target through thermal imaging and accurately drops the lifebuoy, greatly shortening the rescue response time. It is especially suitable for complex or dangerous waters. The lifebuoy has a built-in Beidou short message module and a miniature power supply. After hitting the water, it automatically sends an SOS signal and GPS coordinates. Even in waters without mobile network coverage, it can report its location and provide continuous location information support for subsequent rescue. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 1-7 As shown: a water surface cleaning and intelligent lifeboat, including: a hull 1, a garbage bin 2 fixedly installed on the right side of the hull 1, a conveyor belt 3 installed on the garbage bin 2, one side of the conveyor belt 3 extending to the outside of the garbage bin 2 and the conveyor belt 3 being inclined, a switch 4 also installed on the garbage bin 2, a radar device 6, a positioning device 7, an alarm device 8 and an information transmission device 9 installed on the top of the hull 1, and a helipad 22 installed on the top of the hull 1, a drone 23 parked on the top of the helipad 22, and a lifebuoy 24 loaded on the drone 23.

[0029] In this embodiment: First, the hull 1 is driven to sail on the sea or lake. When the radar device 6 scans for trash, it works with the positioning device 7 to provide precise location of the trash and sail the hull 1 to the location of the trash. Then, the conveyor belt 3 is driven to transport the trash to the trash can 2 for temporary storage and subsequent centralized processing. When the radar device 6 scans for someone falling into the water, it again provides precise location and sends the location information to the drone 23. After receiving the location information, the drone 23 reacts quickly, flies to the location with a lifebuoy 24, and accurately drops the lifebuoy 24, providing the first layer of rescue for the person in the water. At the same time, the alarm device 8 starts broadcasting, providing the specific location of the person in the water if there are boats or other people nearby. The information transmission device 9 transmits the specific location of the person in the water to the relevant departments to request rescue, forming a triple rescue effect.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the lifebuoy 24 has a built-in BeiDou short message module 25 and a built-in micro power supply 26, which is electrically connected to the BeiDou short message module 25.

[0031] In this embodiment: the lifebuoy 24 is equipped with a built-in Beidou short message module 25 and a miniature power supply 26, which automatically sends an SOS signal and GPS coordinates after the lifebuoy 24 falls into the water. This enables location reporting even in waters without mobile network coverage, providing continuous location information support for subsequent rescue efforts.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, a mounting shell 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the hull 1, and the radar device 6, positioning device 7, alarm device 8 and information transmission device 9 are all fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the mounting shell 5. A top cover 16 is movably installed on the top of the mounting shell 5.

[0033] In this embodiment, the mounting shell 5 and the top cover 16 form a sealed space, thereby providing protection for the radar device 6, positioning device 7, alarm device 8 and information transmission device 9 installed inside, preventing them from being damaged by external impacts.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the top of the mounting shell 5 is provided with slots 19 near the four corners, and each of the four slots 19 has a movably inserted and installed locking rod 17. The outer walls of the four locking rods 17 are provided with multiple sets of anti-slip textures 18, and the four locking rods 17 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the top cover 16.

[0035] In this embodiment: the insertion between the locking rod 17 and the locking groove 19 is used to realize the insertion and installation between the top cover 16 and the mounting shell 5, which facilitates subsequent disassembly operations. At the same time, the setting of multiple anti-slip textures 18 effectively increases the friction between the outer wall of the locking rod 17 and the inner wall of the locking groove 19, thereby improving the firmness of the installation of the top cover 16.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, a transparent window 20 is installed through the top cover 16, and two anti-slip pads 21 are also embedded and fixedly installed on the top cover 16.

[0037] In this embodiment: the transparent window 20 allows staff to view the internal operation without disassembling the device, while the two sets of anti-slip pads 21 increase the friction on the outer wall of the top cover 16 during subsequent disassembly, thereby increasing the ease of disassembling the top cover 16.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, multiple ventilation slots 10 are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the mounting shell 5, and mounting frames 11 are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the mounting shell 5, with a waterproof and breathable membrane 12 installed in the inner cavity of the mounting frame 11.

[0039] In this embodiment: the ventilation slot 10 ensures air circulation between the inside of the mounting shell 5 and the outside, thereby ensuring that the heat generated by the internal radar device 6, positioning device 7, alarm device 8 and information transmission device 9 during operation is discharged smoothly. At the same time, in conjunction with the waterproof and breathable membrane 12, it ensures ventilation while preventing water from entering the interior.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, two handles 13 are fixedly connected to each of the two mounting frames 11 on opposite sides.

[0041] In this embodiment, the two handles 13 provide a point of force when the waterproof and breathable membrane 12 is subsequently disassembled.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, two limiting blocks 14 are fixedly connected to each of the two mounting frames 11 on the side away from each other, and four limiting grooves 15 are provided on the top of the mounting shell 5, with the four limiting blocks 14 respectively movably inserted into the inner cavity of the corresponding limiting groove 15.

[0043] In this embodiment, the installation of the waterproof and breathable membrane 12 is limited by the movable connection between the limiting block 14 and the limiting groove 15. Combined with the upper cover 16's contact from above, the installation of the waterproof and breathable membrane 12 is strengthened.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
