Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lifebuoy equipment technology, specifically a remotely controlled intelligent lifebuoy. Background Technology

[0002] Water rescue equipment is a key tool for ensuring the safety of water activities. Among them, lifebuoys, as basic rescue equipment, are widely used in swimming pools, lakes, oceans, and other scenarios. Their core function is to provide buoyancy support for those who fall into the water, buying time for rescue. Traditional lifebuoys are mostly simple inflatable structures that rely on manual throwing or the person in the water grabbing them. In complex waters (such as the open sea or areas with undercurrents) or at night, they suffer from problems such as difficulty in positioning, slow rescue response, and limited functionality, making it difficult to meet the needs of efficient and safe rescue.

[0003] Publication number CN202110482269.8 discloses a compressive strength testing device for cable tray production, which achieves compressive strength testing of cable tray steel bars through clamping and fixing and position adjustment. Although it has certain innovation in the field of structural testing, it is unrelated to water rescue equipment and does not involve the buoyancy protection, remote control and intelligent monitoring functions of lifebuoys.

[0004] However, existing lifebuoys still have significant drawbacks in practical use: 1. Traditional lifebuoys are mostly single-buoyancy structures. If the outer inflatable ring is damaged, it will directly lose buoyancy support, failing to provide continuous protection for the person in the water, increasing the rescue risk. 2. They lack intelligent monitoring functions, cannot sense changes in their own air pressure in real time, cannot detect damage to the inflatable structure in time, and cannot report abnormalities to rescuers, delaying the rescue opportunity. 3. They rely on manual operation and lack remote control capabilities. When the person in the water is unconscious or far away, rescuers find it difficult to quickly and accurately deliver the lifebuoy to the target location, reducing rescue efficiency. 4. The air inlet of the inflatable structure lacks protective design, allowing debris to easily enter the inflation channel and cause blockage, affecting the normal operation of the air pump and further weakening the reliability of the lifebuoy. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a remotely controlled intelligent lifebuoy to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: including an inflatable outer ring, a plurality of small inflatable rings disposed on the surface of the inflatable outer ring, a plastic shell fixedly connected to one end of the inflatable outer ring, a double-ring life-saving assembly disposed inside the plastic shell, a closed installation assembly disposed on the top of the plastic shell, and an intelligent detection assembly disposed inside the plastic shell.

[0007] The double-ring lifesaving assembly includes an inner cavity formed inside a plastic shell, a waterproof air pump detachably connected to the inner cavity, an air inlet pipe connected to the top of the waterproof air pump, a protective shell detachably connected to the surface of the waterproof air pump, an inflation pipe connected to one end of the waterproof air pump, and an inflation inner ring disposed inside the inflation outer ring. The end of the inflation pipe away from the waterproof air pump extends into the inflation outer ring and is connected to the inflation inner ring. The inflation inner ring is inflated by the waterproof air pump.

[0008] The sealed installation assembly includes an air guide tube connected to the top of the air inlet pipe, an external thread on the surface of the air guide tube, a sealing tube connected to the top of the air guide tube, an internal thread on the inner wall of the sealing tube, and a filter plate detachably connected to the top of the sealing tube, wherein the external thread and the internal thread are threadedly engaged.

[0009] The intelligent detection component includes a control processor detachably connected to the inside of the cavity, a signal receiver connected to the surface of the control processor, a signal controller detachably connected to the surface of the control processor, a connector connected to the surface of the signal controller, a wire connected to one end of the connector, and a pressure monitor detachably connected to the inside of the inflatable outer ring. The end of the wire away from the connector is connected to the pressure monitor.

[0010] Preferably, the plastic shell is made of waterproof material, and the connection between the plastic shell and the inflatable outer ring is sealed with waterproof adhesive to prevent moisture from seeping into the inner cavity.

[0011] Preferably, the plastic shell is made of waterproof ABS material, and the connection between the plastic shell and the inflatable outer ring is sealed with waterproof adhesive.

[0012] Preferably, the protective shell is fitted over the outside of the waterproof air pump, and the protective shell is in contact with the surface of the waterproof air pump to protect the waterproof air pump.

[0013] Preferably, the inflation tube is a flexible hose, and the connection between the inflation tube and the inflation inner ring is provided with a sealing structure to prevent air leakage from the inflation inner ring.

[0014] Preferably, the filter plate covers the opening at the top of the sealing tube, and the filter plate is detachably connected to the sealing tube for filtering impurities entering the air guide tube.

[0015] Preferably, the control processor is fixed inside the cavity, and the control processor is electrically connected to the signal receiver and the signal controller for receiving and processing signals.

[0016] Preferably, the signal receiver is adapted to the remote control terminal, and the signal receiver is used to receive instruction signals sent by the remote control terminal and transmit the signals to the control processor.

[0017] Preferably, the air pressure monitor is embedded in the inner wall of the inflatable outer ring, and the air pressure monitor is connected to the signal controller through the wire to detect the air pressure inside the inflatable outer ring in real time.

[0018] A method for using a remotely controlled smart lifebuoy includes the following steps:

[0019] Step 1: Preliminary Preparation: Check that the protective shell on the surface of the waterproof air pump is securely installed, ensuring that the shell completely covers the pump to prevent damage from impact. Next, check the connection between the air inlet pipe and the sealing pipe. Tighten the sealing pipe to the top of the air inlet pipe using the external and internal threads, confirming that the filter plate is securely installed at the top of the sealing pipe to prevent debris from entering the air inlet pipe. Simultaneously, check the tightness of the connectors and wire connections on the signal controller surface, ensuring a firm fit between the connectors and one end of the wire to guarantee smooth signal and data transmission between the signal controller and the pressure monitor. Finally, check the wiring status of the control processor, signal receiver, signal controller, and pressure monitor to ensure that all components are properly connected.

[0020] Step 2, Initial Inflation: Connect the air pipe to the external inflation device and slowly inflate the outer ring and the small inflation ring. During this process, monitor the air pressure changes of the outer ring in real time using an air pressure monitor. When the air pressure reaches the preset standard value, turn off the external inflation device. Then start the waterproof air pump. The waterproof air pump inflates the inner ring through the inflation pipe. After the inner ring is full, the waterproof air pump will automatically stop working, completing the initial inflation process.

[0021] Step 3: Remote signal pairing: Rescuers operate the remote control terminal to send a pairing signal. After receiving the signal, the signal receiver immediately transmits it to the control processor. The control processor then sends a successful pairing signal back to the remote control terminal through the signal controller. During this process, the barometric pressure monitor transmits real-time barometric pressure data to the control processor via a wire to help confirm that the overall condition of the lifebuoy is normal, completes the signal connection between the lifebuoy and the remote control terminal, and ensures that the lifebuoy can be remotely controlled normally in the future.

[0022] Step 4: Real-time Monitoring and Anomaly Handling: When the lifebuoy is in standby or use mode, the pressure monitor continuously detects changes in the air pressure of the outer inflatable ring and transmits the pressure data to the control processor in real time through the connection of wires and connectors. If the outer inflatable ring is damaged, causing a drop in air pressure, and the air pressure value is lower than the preset threshold, the control processor immediately starts the waterproof air pump through the signal controller. The waterproof air pump operates stably under the protection of the protective shell, drawing air from the outside through the air intake pipe. During the air intake process, impurities are filtered through the filter plate, and air is then injected into the inner inflatable ring through the air inflation pipe. At the same time, the control processor sends an abnormal air pressure alarm to the remote control terminal through the signal receiver, prompting rescue personnel to pay attention and take corresponding measures.

[0023] Step 5: Remote Rescue Control: Upon discovering a person in the water, rescuers send a movement command via a remote control terminal. The signal receiver receives the command and transmits it to the control processor. The control processor adjusts the direction of movement of the lifebuoy according to the command. The buoyancy balance can be adjusted by remotely fine-tuning the inflation volume to achieve directional control. During the process, the protective shell continuously protects the waterproof air pump from damage caused by water flow, ensuring that the lifebuoy moves stably and is accurately delivered to the person in the water. After the person in the water grabs the lifebuoy, the small inflatable ring provides additional buoyancy to prevent the person from turning over and causing the lifebuoy to tip over.

[0024] Step Six: Recovery and Maintenance: After the rescue is completed, rescuers send a stop command via a remote control terminal, and the lifebuoy stops working. After recovering the lifebuoy to a safe area, open the sealing tube and slowly release the air from the outer inflation ring, the small inflation ring, and the inner inflation ring through the air duct and air inlet pipe. Check the filter plate surface for any debris blockage; if any is accumulated, clean the filter plate promptly. Remove the protective shell from the waterproof air pump surface and check for any damage or water ingress. At the same time, check whether the connectors and wire connections on the signal controller surface are loose; if so, tighten them again. Finally, check whether the control processor, air pressure monitor, signal receiver, and other components are intact to ensure that the lifebuoy can be used normally next time.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0026] 1. Dual-ring buoyancy structure enhances safety redundancy and ensures continuous rescue capability: This invention features an inflatable outer ring and an inner inflatable ring forming a dual-ring life-saving component. Under normal use, the outer ring and multiple small inflatable rings on its surface provide the main buoyancy, meeting the buoyancy needs of the person in the water. When the outer ring is damaged due to collision, puncture by a sharp object, or other reasons, the air pressure monitor inside the outer ring can detect the pressure drop in real time and immediately transmit an abnormal signal to the control processor. The control processor quickly starts the waterproof air pump through the signal controller. The waterproof air pump inflates the inner inflatable ring through the air tube, preventing the life ring from losing buoyancy as a whole and providing continuous buoyancy support for the person in the water, significantly reducing the risk of rescue failure due to life ring damage. At the same time, multiple small inflatable rings are evenly distributed along the circumference of the outer ring, which not only further increases the overall buoyancy but also maintains balance when the life ring tilts, effectively preventing the person in the water from turning over.

[0027] 2. The combination of intelligent detection and remote control enhances rescue efficiency and timeliness: The air pressure monitor in the intelligent detection component can continuously monitor the air pressure status of the inflatable outer ring 24 hours a day, eliminating the need for regular manual checks and reducing equipment maintenance costs. The compatible design of the signal receiver and remote control terminal allows rescuers to remotely control the lifebuoy without approaching dangerous waters. Especially in complex rescue scenarios such as open seas, undercurrents, or at night, the lifebuoy can be quickly and accurately delivered to the person in the water, significantly shortening the rescue response time. When an abnormal air pressure occurs in the inflation structure, the control processor can automatically start the waterproof air pump for inflation repair and send an alarm to the remote control terminal through the signal receiver, realizing an integrated process of "abnormal detection - automatic repair - alarm notification" to avoid safety hazards caused by untimely manual detection. At the same time, the stable connection of each component through wires and connectors ensures the smoothness of signal and data transmission, further improving the reliability of intelligent detection and remote control.

[0028] 3. Enclosed Protection and Structural Adaptability Design Enhance Equipment Reliability and Service Life: The air duct and sealing tube in the enclosed installation assembly are connected by external and internal threads, ensuring a secure connection and easy disassembly. Combined with the filter plate at the top of the sealing tube, this effectively prevents debris and sediment from entering the air inlet pipe and waterproof air pump, avoiding blockage of the inflation channel or internal pump damage, and ensuring stable operation of the inflation assembly. The plastic shell is made of waterproof material, and the connection with the outer inflation ring is sealed with waterproof adhesive, effectively preventing water seepage into the inner cavity and avoiding damage to electrical components such as the control processor, signal receiver, and signal controller due to water ingress. The protective shell on the surface of the waterproof air pump effectively protects the pump body from impact damage during movement or use. The sealing structure at the connection between the inflation tube and the inner inflation ring prevents air leakage from the inner inflation ring, ensuring the normal function of the double-ring rescue assembly. The overall structural design adapts to the needs of water rescue scenarios, significantly enhancing the equipment's reliability and service life. Attached Figure Description

[0049] A method for using a remotely controlled smart lifebuoy includes the following steps:

[0050] Step 1, Preliminary Preparation: Check if the protective shell 404 on the surface of the waterproof air pump 402 is securely installed, ensuring that the protective shell 404 completely covers the waterproof air pump 402 to prevent damage to the pump body from impact; then check the connection status of the air guide tube 501 and the sealing tube 503, tighten the sealing tube 503 to the top of the air guide tube 501 through the cooperation of the external thread 502 and the internal thread 504, and confirm that the filter plate 505 is securely installed at the top of the sealing tube 503 to prevent debris from entering the air inlet tube 403; at the same time, check the tightness of the connection between the connector 604 and the wire 605 on the surface of the signal controller 603, ensuring that the connector 604 and one end of the wire 605 are firmly engaged, ensuring smooth signal and data transmission between the signal controller 603 and the air pressure monitor 606; finally, check the wiring status of the control processor 601, signal receiver 602, signal controller 603 and air pressure monitor 606 to ensure that all components are properly connected;

[0051] Step 2, Initial Inflation: Connect the air pipe 501 to the external inflation device and slowly inflate the outer inflation ring 1 and the small inflation ring 2. During this process, monitor the air pressure change of the outer inflation ring 1 in real time through the air pressure monitor 606. When the air pressure reaches the preset standard value, turn off the external inflation device. Then start the waterproof air pump 402. The waterproof air pump 402 inflates the inner inflation ring 406 through the inflation pipe 405. After the inner inflation ring 406 is full, the waterproof air pump 402 will automatically stop working, completing the initial inflation process.

[0052] Step 3: Remote Signal Pairing: Rescuers operate the remote control terminal to send a pairing signal. After receiving the signal, the signal receiver 602 immediately transmits it to the control processor 601. The control processor 601 then sends a successful pairing signal back to the remote control terminal through the signal controller 603. During this process, the air pressure monitor 606 transmits real-time air pressure data to the control processor 601 through the wire 605 to help confirm that the overall condition of the lifebuoy is normal, completes the signal connection between the lifebuoy and the remote control terminal, and ensures that the lifebuoy can be remotely controlled normally in the future.

[0053] Step 4: Real-time Monitoring and Anomaly Handling: When the lifebuoy is in standby or use mode, the pressure monitor 606 continuously monitors the pressure changes of the outer inflatable ring 1 and transmits the pressure data to the control processor 601 in real time through the cooperation of the wire 605 and the connector 604. If the outer inflatable ring 1 is damaged, causing a drop in pressure, and the pressure value is lower than the preset threshold, the control processor 601 immediately starts the waterproof air pump 402 through the signal controller 603. The waterproof air pump 402 operates stably under the protection of the protective shell 404, drawing air from the outside through the air inlet pipe 403. During the air intake process, impurities are filtered through the filter plate 505, and air is inflated into the inner inflatable ring 406 through the air inlet pipe 405. At the same time, the control processor 601 sends an abnormal pressure alarm to the remote control terminal through the signal receiver 602, prompting rescue personnel to pay attention and take countermeasures in time.

[0054] Step 5, Remote Rescue Control: When a person falls into the water, the rescuer sends a movement command through a remote control terminal. The signal receiver 602 receives the command and transmits it to the control processor 601. The control processor 601 adjusts the movement direction of the lifebuoy according to the command. The buoyancy balance can be adjusted by remotely fine-tuning the inflation volume to achieve directional control. During the process, the protective shell 404 continuously protects the waterproof air pump 402 from damage caused by water flow, ensuring that the lifebuoy moves stably and is accurately delivered to the person in the water. After the person in the water grabs the lifebuoy, the small inflatable ring 2 provides additional buoyancy to prevent the person from turning over and causing the lifebuoy to tip over.

[0055] Step Six: Recovery and Maintenance: After the rescue is completed, the rescuers send a stop command through the remote control terminal, and the lifebuoy stops working. After the lifebuoy is recovered to a safe area, the sealing tube 503 is opened, and the air inside the outer inflation ring 1, the small inflation ring 2, and the inner inflation ring 406 is slowly released through the air duct 501 and the air inlet pipe 403. Check whether there is any debris clogging the surface of the filter plate 505. If there is any accumulation, clean the filter plate 505 in time. Remove the protective shell 404 on the surface of the waterproof air pump 402 and check whether the waterproof air pump 402 is damaged or has water ingress. At the same time, check whether the connector 604 on the surface of the signal controller 603 and the wire 605 are loose. If they are loose, tighten them again. Finally, check whether the control processor 601, the air pressure monitor 606, the signal receiver 602 and other components are intact to ensure that the lifebuoy can be used normally next time.

[0056] Working Principle: The dual-ring buoyancy structure enhances safety redundancy and ensures continuous rescue capability. This invention sets up an inflatable outer ring 1 and an inner inflatable ring 406 to form a dual-ring rescue component 4. Under normal use, the outer ring 1 and multiple small inflatable rings 2 on its surface jointly provide the main buoyancy, meeting the buoyancy needs of the person in the water. When the outer ring 1 is damaged due to collision, puncture by a sharp object, or other reasons, the air pressure monitor 606 inside the outer ring 1 can detect the pressure drop in real time and immediately transmit an abnormal signal to the control processor 601. The control processor 601 quickly starts the waterproof air pump 402 through the signal controller 603. The waterproof air pump 402 inflates the inner inflatable ring 406 through the inflation pipe 405, preventing the lifebuoy from losing buoyancy as a whole. This system provides continuous buoyancy support for those who have fallen into the water, significantly reducing the risk of rescue failure due to lifebuoy rupture. Simultaneously, multiple small inflatable rings 2 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the outer inflatable ring 1, further increasing overall buoyancy and maintaining balance when the lifebuoy tilts, effectively preventing the person from turning over. The combination of intelligent detection and remote control enhances rescue efficiency and timeliness: the air pressure monitor 606 in the intelligent detection component 6 continuously monitors the air pressure status of the outer inflatable ring 1 24 hours a day, eliminating the need for regular manual checks and reducing equipment maintenance costs; the compatible design of the signal receiver 602 and remote control terminal allows rescuers to remotely control the lifebuoy without approaching dangerous waters, especially in complex rescue scenarios such as open seas, undercurrents, or at night. It can quickly and accurately deliver the lifebuoy to the person in the water, significantly shortening the rescue response time. When the inflatable structure experiences abnormal air pressure, the control processor 601 can automatically start the waterproof air pump 402 for inflation repair and send an alarm to the remote control terminal via the signal receiver 602, realizing an integrated process of "abnormal detection - automatic repair - alarm notification" to avoid safety hazards caused by untimely manual detection. At the same time, the stable connection of each component through the wire 605 and the connector 604 ensures the smoothness of signal and data transmission, further improving the reliability of intelligent detection and remote control. The enclosed protection and structural adaptation design enhance the reliability and service life of the equipment: the air guide tube 501 and the sealing tube 503 in the enclosed installation component 5. The connection is secured and easy to disassemble via the threaded engagement of the external thread 502 and the internal thread 504. Combined with the filter plate 505 at the top of the sealing tube 503, it effectively prevents impurities and sediment from entering the air inlet pipe 403 and the waterproof air pump 402, avoiding blockage of the inflation channel or damage to the pump body, and ensuring stable operation of the inflation components. The plastic shell 3 is made of waterproof material, and the connection with the outer inflation ring 1 is sealed with waterproof adhesive, effectively preventing water from seeping into the inner cavity 401, thus preventing damage to electrical components such as the control processor 601, signal receiver 602, and signal controller 603 due to water ingress. The protective shell 404 on the surface of the waterproof air pump 402 effectively protects the pump body from collision damage during movement or use.The sealing structure at the connection between the inflation tube 405 and the inflation inner ring 406 prevents air leakage from the inflation inner ring 406, ensuring the normal function of the double-ring rescue assembly 4; the overall structural design is adapted to the needs of water rescue scenarios, significantly enhancing the reliability and service life of the equipment.

10. A method for using a remotely controlled intelligent lifebuoy as described in claim 9, characterized in that: Includes the following steps: Step 1, Preliminary Preparation: Check whether the protective shell (404) on the surface of the waterproof air pump (402) is installed securely, ensuring that the protective shell (404) completely covers the waterproof air pump (402) to prevent damage to the pump body from impact; then check the connection status of the air guide pipe (501) and the sealing pipe (503), and tighten the sealing pipe (503) to the top of the air guide pipe (501) by matching the external thread (502) and the internal thread (504), and confirm that the filter plate (505) is securely installed at the top of the sealing pipe (503) to prevent debris from entering. Enter the intake pipe (403); at the same time, check the tightness of the connection between the connector (604) and the wire (605) on the surface of the signal controller (603), ensuring that the connector (604) and one end of the wire (605) are firmly engaged, and ensuring smooth signal and data transmission between the signal controller (603) and the barometric pressure monitor (606); finally, check the wiring status of the control processor (601), signal receiver (602), signal controller (603) and barometric pressure monitor (606) to ensure that each component is properly connected; Step 2, Initial inflation: Connect the air pipe (501) to the external inflation device and slowly inflate the outer inflation ring (1) and the small inflation ring (2). During this period, the air pressure change of the outer inflation ring (1) is observed in real time through the air pressure monitor (606). When the air pressure reaches the preset standard value, the external inflation device is turned off. Then, the waterproof air pump (402) is started. The waterproof air pump (402) inflates the inner inflation ring (406) through the inflation pipe (405). After the inner inflation ring (406) is full, the waterproof air pump (402) automatically stops working, completing the initial inflation process. Step 3, Remote Signal Pairing: Rescuers operate the remote control terminal to send a pairing signal. After receiving the signal, the signal receiver (602) immediately transmits it to the control processor (601). The control processor (601) sends a pairing success signal back to the remote control terminal through the signal controller (603). During this process, the air pressure monitor (606) transmits real-time air pressure data to the control processor (601) through the wire (605) to help confirm that the overall condition of the lifebuoy is normal, complete the signal connection between the lifebuoy and the remote control terminal, and ensure that the lifebuoy can be remotely controlled normally in the future. Step 4: Real-time monitoring and anomaly handling: When the lifebuoy is in standby or use mode, the air pressure monitor (606) continuously monitors the air pressure changes of the outer inflatable ring (1) and transmits the air pressure data to the control processor (601) in real time through the cooperation of the wire (605) and the connector (604). If the outer inflatable ring (1) is damaged, causing the air pressure to drop and the air pressure value is lower than the preset threshold, the control processor (601) immediately starts the waterproof air pump (402) through the signal controller (603). The waterproof air pump (402) operates stably under the protection of the protective shell (404), and draws air from the outside through the air inlet pipe (403). During the air intake process, the air is filtered by the filter plate (505) and inflated into the inner inflatable ring (406) through the inflation pipe (405). At the same time, the control processor (601) sends an air pressure anomaly alarm to the remote control terminal through the signal receiver (602) to remind the rescue personnel to pay attention and take countermeasures in time. Step 5, Remote Control Rescue: When a person falls into the water is found, the rescuer sends a movement command through a remote control terminal. The signal receiver (602) receives the command and transmits it to the control processor (601). The control processor (601) adjusts the movement direction of the lifebuoy according to the command. The buoyancy balance can be adjusted by remotely fine-tuning the inflation volume to achieve directional control. During the process, the protective shell (404) continuously protects the waterproof air pump (402) from water flow impact damage, ensuring that the lifebuoy moves stably and is accurately delivered to the person in the water. After the person in the water grabs the lifebuoy, the small inflatable ring (2) provides additional buoyancy to prevent the person in the water from turning over and causing the lifebuoy to tip over. Step Six, Recovery and Maintenance: After the rescue is completed, the rescuers send a stop command through the remote control terminal, and the lifebuoy stops working. After the lifebuoy is recovered to a safe area, the sealing tube (503) is opened, and the gas inside the outer inflation ring (1), the small inflation ring (2), and the inner inflation ring (406) is slowly released through the air duct (501) and the air inlet pipe (403). Check whether there is any debris blocking the surface of the filter plate (505). If there is any accumulation, clean the filter plate (505) in time. Remove the protective shell (404) on the surface of the waterproof air pump (402) and check whether the waterproof air pump (402) is damaged or has water ingress. At the same time, check whether the connector (604) and the wire (605) on the surface of the signal controller (603) are loose. If they are loose, tighten them again. Finally, check whether the components such as the control processor (601), the air pressure monitor (606), and the signal receiver (602) are intact to ensure that the lifebuoy can be used normally next time.
