Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lifesaving buoy technology, specifically a lifesaving buoy with a self-generated light signal. Background Technology

[0002] Self-generated light signaling lifebuoys are an important type of water rescue equipment designed to improve the visibility of people who have fallen into the water at night or in low-visibility environments, thereby significantly improving search and rescue efficiency and the chances of survival. Unlike traditional life rings that only provide basic buoyancy, these lifebuoys integrate advanced lighting devices. The core of these lifebuoys is their built-in self-generating system, which typically uses high-efficiency, seawater-resistant disposable batteries, such as lithium thionyl chloride batteries. This eliminates the need for external power sources or regular charging, giving them an extremely long lifespan and instant response capability. Once the lifebuoy falls into the water and comes into contact with seawater, the sensors inside the lifebuoy automatically activate high-brightness LED lights, emitting continuous or intermittent flashing signals. These lights are usually brightly colored (such as white or yellow) and have high penetrating power, allowing them to be clearly detected by search and rescue personnel at a distance, even on rough seas or in the dark of night.

[0003] Existing life buoys only allow people who have fallen into the water to climb onto the buoy to avoid being submerged in the water. They do not have a structure to protect the safety of personnel. In addition, in rainy weather and when there are strong winds and waves, the people on the buoy are directly exposed to the outside. Furthermore, strong winds and waves can easily capsize the buoy, causing the people on the buoy to fall into the water again. Therefore, improvements are needed to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a life-saving buoy with self-generated light signal, comprising a hollow buoy and a hollow float ring, wherein a connecting metal ring is installed on the inner surface of the float ring, and two connecting shafts are symmetrically fixedly installed on the surface of the buoy, both connecting shafts being rotatably connected to the connecting metal ring, the buoy having an inlet and outlet, and a threaded connection port integrally formed on the surface of the buoy, with a sealing cap threadedly connected to the threaded connection port, and light poles are installed at equal intervals around the outer surface of the buoy, with LED lights installed on both sides of the light poles.

[0005] Preferably, two operating levers are symmetrically fixedly installed on the surface of the sealing cover, and two operating levers are symmetrically fixedly installed on the bottom of the sealing cover. A connecting rope is fixedly connected between the middle of the bottom of the sealing cover and the inside of the float. A safety belt for protecting people who fall into the water is installed inside the float. The top and bottom of the float ring are provided with equidistant grooves in a ring.

[0006] Preferably, two solar panels are symmetrically installed on the top of the sealing cover. The two solar panels have gaps on the sealing cover for easy observation. At the same time, the sealing cover has a vent hole. A battery is installed inside the float ring. Both solar panels are connected to the battery. The battery provides power to the LED light. Sleeve blocks are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the outer ring of the float. The light pole is movably installed through the middle of the sleeve block. Hollow balls are installed at both ends of the light pole. Two limiting blocks are symmetrically fixedly installed on the light pole. The sleeve block is located between the two limiting blocks.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting metal ring has two symmetrical inner cavities in the middle, and an inner bevel gear ring is fixedly installed inside each inner cavity. The two connecting shafts are connected to the connecting metal ring through sealed bearings, and one end of each connecting shaft extends into the inner cavity.

[0008] Preferably, a transmission box is fixedly installed at the ends of the two connecting shafts located inside the inner cavity, and an adjusting shaft is rotatably installed through the middle of the transmission box. A bevel gear is fixedly installed at one end of the adjusting shaft located inside the inner cavity, which meshes with the inner bevel gear ring. Gears are fixedly installed on the surface of the adjusting shaft located inside the transmission box.

[0009] Preferably, a drive shaft is rotatably mounted through the middle of both connecting shafts. One end of the drive shaft extends into the interior of the transmission box and is fixedly mounted with a worm gear. An mounting shaft is rotatably mounted inside both transmission boxes. A worm wheel that meshes with the worm gear is fixedly mounted on the mounting shaft, and a gear two that meshes with gear one is fixedly mounted on the mounting shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the opposite ends of the two drive shafts extend into the interior of the float, and a rotating crank is fixedly installed between the opposite ends of the two drive shafts, with a rotating sleeve movably sleeved in the middle of the rotating crank.

[0011] Preferably, a disc is fixedly installed on the surface of each of the two drive shafts located inside the float. A cross-shaped limiting pin is movably installed through the surface of each of the two discs. A rectangular extrusion frame is fixedly installed at one end of each of the two cross-shaped limiting pins, and a spring is sleeved in the middle of each of the two cross-shaped limiting pins. The two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the cross-shaped limiting pin and the disc, respectively.

[0012] Preferably, two fixing blocks are symmetrically fixed inside the float, and two drive shafts movably pass through the two fixing blocks respectively. The two fixing blocks are provided with circumferentially spaced limiting holes aligned with the cross-shaped limiting pins on opposite sides. The other end of the cross-shaped limiting pin is movably inserted into the limiting hole.

[0013] Preferably, a connecting block is fixedly installed on each of the two discs on opposite sides, and a threaded pin is threadedly connected to each of the two connecting blocks. A conical extrusion block is fixedly installed on one end of each threaded pin. The conical extrusion block is located inside the rectangular extrusion frame and connects with the rectangular extrusion frame. A rotating wheel is fixedly installed on the other end of each threaded pin.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This life-saving buoy has a safety protection structure that can protect the personnel on the buoy from exposure, thereby effectively improving the buoy's life-saving performance. At the same time, the safety protection structure has a flip-adjustment structure, which can be effectively adjusted after the buoy is overturned to facilitate the search and rescue of personnel. When the crank needs to be rotated, first rotate the two wheels to move the two threaded pins. The movement of the two threaded pins will move the two conical pressing blocks. The movement of the conical pressing blocks will press the rectangular pressing frame, and the movement of the rectangular pressing frame will pull the cross limit pin to move. The movement of the cross limit pin will move out of the limit hole and compress the spring, and then the crank can be rotated. After the adjustment is completed, rotate the wheels in the opposite direction so that the conical pressing blocks no longer press the rectangular pressing frame. Then, through the elastic restoring force of the spring, and when the cross limit pin is aligned with the limit hole, the cross limit pin will automatically insert into the limit hole to achieve limit fixation. The rotating sleeve rotates the crank, which in turn drives two transmission shafts to rotate. The rotation of the two transmission shafts drives two worm gears to rotate, which in turn drives two worm wheels to rotate. The rotation of the two worm wheels drives two mounting shafts and two gears II to rotate. The rotation of the two gears II drives two gears I to rotate, and the rotation of the two gears I drives two adjusting shafts to rotate and adjust. When the adjusting shaft rotates, it drives the first bevel gear to rotate. The rotation of the first bevel gear rolls around the inner bevel gear ring, which in turn drives the transmission box to rotate. The rotation of the transmission box drives the connecting shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the float to rotate. When the life buoy capsizes and the inlet / outlet, threaded connection port, and sealing cover face the water surface, the float can be adjusted to rotate, causing the inlet / outlet, threaded connection port, and sealing cover to move towards the sky. This facilitates the rescue of people inside the float and allows them to escape independently from the float. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Example 1, by Figures 1 to 5 The present invention includes a hollow float 1 and a hollow float ring 2. A connecting metal ring 3 is installed on the inner ring surface of the float ring 2. Two connecting shafts 4 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the surface of the float 1. Both connecting shafts 4 are rotatably connected to the connecting metal ring 3. The float 1 has an inlet and outlet 5. The surface of the float 1 is integrally formed with a threaded connection port 6. A sealing cover 7 is threadedly connected to the threaded connection port 6. The sealing cover 7 is a transparent plastic cover. Light poles 8 are installed at equal intervals in a ring on the outer ring surface of the float 1. LED lights 9 are installed on both sides of the light poles 8. The surface of the LED lights 9 is covered with a transparent waterproof cover.

[0019] Two operating levers 10 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the surface of the sealing cover 7, and two operating levers 21 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the bottom of the sealing cover 7. A connecting rope 12 is fixedly connected between the middle of the bottom of the sealing cover 7 and the inside of the float 1. The operating levers 10 and 21 can effectively rotate the sealing cover 7 from the outside and inside of the float 1. The connecting rope 12 can effectively prevent the sealing cover 7 from falling off after being opened.

[0020] The inside of the buoy 1 is equipped with a safety belt 13 for protecting people who fall into the water. The safety belt 13 allows people who fall into the water to stay safely inside the buoy 1 after entering it. It also effectively prevents people from being injured inside the buoy 1 if the life buoy capsizes. The top and bottom of the float ring 2 are provided with equally spaced grooves 14. The grooves 14 make it easy for people who fall into the water to climb onto the float ring 2.

[0021] Two solar panels are symmetrically installed on the top of the sealing cover 7. The two solar panels have gaps on the sealing cover 7 for easy observation. At the same time, the sealing cover 7 has a breathing hole. A storage battery is installed inside the float ring 2. Both solar panels are connected to the storage battery. The storage battery provides power to the LED light 9. The solar panels enable this life buoy to generate its own electricity.

[0022] The outer ring of the buoy 1 is fixedly equipped with sleeve blocks 38 at equal intervals. The lamp post 8 is movably installed through the middle of the sleeve block 38. Hollow balls 39 are installed at both ends of the lamp post 8, and two limiting blocks 40 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the lamp post 8. The sleeve block 38 is located between the two limiting blocks 40, so as to provide an effective light signal and still provide an effective light signal when the life buoy capsizes.

[0023] This lifesaving buoy features a safety protection structure that provides shelter for personnel on board, preventing them from being exposed and effectively improving the buoy's lifesaving performance. It also includes a tilting and adjusting mechanism that allows for easy adjustment after the buoy is overturned, facilitating search and rescue. Both the safety protection and tilting / adjusting mechanisms are simple in design, safe and reliable in use, and easy to operate. Their functionality meets the requirements for lifesaving buoy use.

[0024] In Example 2, based on Example 1, two inner cavities 15 are symmetrically formed in the middle of the connecting metal ring 3. An inner bevel gear ring 16 is fixedly installed inside each inner cavity 15. Two connecting shafts 4 are connected to the connecting metal ring 3 via sealed bearings 17, and one end of each connecting shaft 4 extends into the inner cavity 15. A transmission box 18 is fixedly installed at the end of each connecting shaft 4 inside the inner cavity 15. An adjusting shaft 19 is rotatably mounted through the middle of each transmission box 18. A bevel gear 20, meshing with the inner bevel gear ring 16, is fixedly installed at one end of the adjusting shaft 19 inside the inner cavity 15. Gears 21 are fixedly installed on the surface of the adjusting shaft 19 inside the transmission box 18, thereby enabling… The float 1 can be effectively rotated and adjusted via the connecting shaft 4. When the adjusting shaft 19 rotates, it drives the bevel gear 20 to rotate. The rotation of the bevel gear 20 causes it to roll around the inner bevel gear ring 16, which in turn drives the transmission box 18 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission box 18 drives the connecting shaft 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the float 1 to rotate. When the life buoy capsizes and the inlet / outlet 5, threaded connection port 6, and sealing cover 7 face the water surface, the float 1 can be rotated to move the inlet / outlet 5, threaded connection port 6, and sealing cover 7 toward the sky, thereby facilitating the rescue of personnel inside the float 1 and enabling personnel inside the float 1 to escape independently.

[0025] In Example 3, based on Example 2, a drive shaft 22 is rotatably mounted through the middle of both connecting shafts 4. One end of the drive shaft 22 extends into the interior of the transmission box 18 and is fixedly mounted with a worm gear 23. A mounting shaft 24 is rotatably mounted inside both transmission boxes 18. A worm wheel 25, meshing with the worm gear 23, is fixedly mounted on the mounting shaft 24, and a gear 26, meshing with gear 1 21, is also fixedly mounted on the mounting shaft 24, thus enabling effective transmission. The opposite ends of the two drive shafts 22 extend into the interior of the float 1, and a rotating crank 27 is fixedly mounted between the opposite ends of the two drive shafts 22. The middle of the rotating crank 27 is movably sleeved. A rotating sleeve 28 is connected, allowing personnel inside the float 1 to effectively rotate and adjust it. Personnel inside the float 1 can rotate the rotating crank 27 via the rotating sleeve 28. The rotation of the rotating crank 27 will drive the two drive shafts 22 to rotate, which in turn will drive the two worm gears 23 to rotate. The rotation of the two worm gears 23 will drive the two worm wheels 25 to rotate, which in turn will drive the two mounting shafts 24 and the two gears 26 to rotate. The rotation of the two gears 26 will drive the two gears 21 to rotate, and the rotation of the two gears 21 will drive the two adjusting shafts 19 to rotate and adjust.

[0026] In Example 4, based on Example 3, two drive shafts 22 are fixedly mounted with discs 29 on their surfaces inside the float 1. Cross-shaped limiting pins 30 are movably mounted through the surfaces of both discs 29. A rectangular extrusion frame 31 is fixedly mounted at one end of each cross-shaped limiting pin 30, and a spring 32 is sleeved in the middle of each cross-shaped limiting pin 30. The two ends of the spring 32 are fixedly connected to the cross-shaped limiting pin 30 and the disc 29, respectively. Two fixing blocks 33 are symmetrically fixedly mounted inside the float 1. The two drive shafts 22 movably pass through the two fixing blocks 33, and each of the two fixing blocks 33 has circumferentially spaced limiting holes 34 aligned with the cross-shaped limiting pins 30 on opposite sides. The other end of the cross-shaped limiting pin 30 is movably inserted into the limiting hole 34. Connecting blocks are fixedly mounted on opposite sides of the two discs 29. Threaded pins 35 are threaded onto each connecting block. A conical extrusion block 36 is fixedly mounted at one end of each threaded pin 35. The conical extrusion block 36 is located inside the rectangular extrusion frame 31 and is connected to the rectangular extrusion frame 31. At the joint of the pressure frame 31, the other end of each threaded pin 35 is fixedly equipped with a rotating wheel 37, which effectively limits and fixes the rotating crank 27 to prevent accidental rotation. When the rotating crank 27 needs to be rotated, the two rotating wheels 37 are rotated first, which drives the two threaded pins 35 to move. The movement of the two threaded pins 35 will drive the two conical extrusion blocks 36 to move. The movement of the conical extrusion blocks 36 will extrude and move the rectangular extrusion frame 31. The movement of the rectangular extrusion frame 31 will... Pulling the cross-shaped limiting pin 30 to move it will cause the cross-shaped limiting pin 30 to move out of the limiting hole 34 and compress the spring 32, which will then allow the rotating crank 27 to rotate. After adjustment, rotating the wheel 37 in the opposite direction will cause the conical extrusion block 36 to stop extruding the rectangular extrusion frame 31. Then, through the elastic restoring force of the spring 32, and when the cross-shaped limiting pin 30 is aligned with the limiting hole 34, the cross-shaped limiting pin 30 will automatically insert into the limiting hole 34 to achieve limiting and fixing.
