[0002] According to the requirements of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) "1974 International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea", ships need to be equipped with a specified number of life rafts for use in emergency situations.

[0003] However, as more and more ships sail in low-temperature areas, especially in polar regions, life rafts will be affected by low temperature, frost, ice and snow in low-temperature environments. The inflation system of the life raft may not be opened or the life raft may not expand due to the freezing of the gas inside. As a result, the life raft may malfunction and cannot be used normally, seriously threatening human life. Rescuers can only remove the snow manually or use an external protective cover to remove the frost attached to the life raft structure to alleviate the situation. However, the above two methods cannot solve the problem of icing well and are likely to cause damage to the life raft structure. Utility Model Content

Preferably, the heating device is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the lower shell.

[0026] In the present invention, a preferred embodiment is: the raft frame 6 is welded to the hull. Preferably, since the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are assembled into a box body, the raft frame 6 and the lashing rope 3 can help the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 to roll after being assembled due to the turbulence of sailing on the sea; the uninflated life raft is folded and placed in the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2, the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are assembled, and the lashing rope 3 is used to fold the uninflated life raft and place it in the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2, and the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are assembled and the lashing rope 3 is used to fold the uninflated life raft and place it in the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. The rope 3 fixes the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 to prevent the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 from being separated due to turbulence when the life raft is not in use. This not only takes up space, but also the heating device 12 arranged inside the box body cannot heat the life raft, which makes it difficult to heat the life raft in cold areas. When the life raft is arranged in the box body, the heating device 12 will continuously heat the internal space of the box body to ensure that the inflation system of the life raft will not freeze. Preferably, the heating device 12 is an electric heating device 12. In the utility model, the electric heating device 12 used is an electric heating tube, which can continuously supply power to the electric heating tube to ensure that the electric heating tube continuously heats the space inside the box body. Preferably, the electric heating device 12 is also provided with a constant temperature system. By providing a suitable temperature range for the constant temperature system, the constant temperature system detects whether the temperature inside the box body is within the temperature range. If it is higher than the temperature range, the heating device 12 is controlled to stop heating. If it is lower than the temperature range, the heating device 12 is controlled to stop heating. range, the heating device 12 is controlled to heat the life raft. When it is needed, the tying rope 3 is only needed to release the tying of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2, so that the life raft stored in the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 can be released, and inflated by the inflation system of the life raft (such as the inflation cylinder or squeeze-type inflation pump carried by the life raft itself). Preferably, a sealing strip is also provided at the joint position of the upper shell and the lower shell, and the sealing strip can slow down the speed of temperature reduction in the storage space.

[0027] Furthermore, the inner wall of the storage space is provided with a heat-insulating layer 11. The heat-insulating layer 11 can prevent the temperature outside the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 from affecting the temperature inside the storage space, thereby slowing down the rate at which the temperature inside the storage space drops.

[0028] Furthermore, a manual shackle 4 is provided on the lashing rope 3. Through the manual shackle 4, rescuers can easily release the lashing rope 3 tied to the outside of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2.

[0029] Furthermore, a bow cable 10 of the life raft is fixedly connected to the raft frame 6. The end of the bow cable 10 is connected to the inflation device of the life raft. When the bow cable 10 is pulled, the bow cable 10 will activate the inflation device of the life raft to make the life raft quickly inflate and shape, so as to ensure that the life raft floats on the water surface.

[0030] Furthermore, a connecting shackle 5 is provided on the raft frame 6, a connecting rope is provided between the lashing rope and the connecting shackle 5, and the bow rope 10 is fixed to the connecting rope. Preferably, the connecting rope is provided between the connecting shackle and the manual shackle, and the connecting shackle 5 and the connecting rope can ensure that the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 do not fall out of the raft frame 6. When the life raft is needed, the lifeguard can bring the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 to the designated position, uncover the connecting shackle 5, and release the lashing rope 3, so as to release the life raft.

[0031] Furthermore, a weak ring 7 is connected between the connecting rope and the connecting shackle 5, and the painter rope 10 is arranged on the weak ring 7. When the life raft is deflated and floats on the sea surface, and the hull sinks below the sea surface, when the pulling force of the hull on the painter rope is greater than the strength of the weak ring, the weak ring will break, so that the painter rope 10 is separated from the hull, thereby preventing the life raft from sinking to the bottom of the sea together with the ship.

[0032] Furthermore, a hydrostatic pressure releaser 8 is provided on the connecting rope, and a heat preservation box is provided on the outer cover of the hydrostatic pressure releaser 8. The hydrostatic pressure releaser 8 will automatically be activated when it encounters water and cut the connecting rope through an internal cutter, and the heat preservation box can ensure that the hydrostatic pressure releaser 8 will not be unable to operate or operate slowly due to the influence of the external temperature.

[0033] Furthermore, the heating device 12 is covered with a protective cover, which can prevent the heat of the heating device 12 from being lost, and can also protect the life raft, preventing the life raft from being too close to the heating device 12, thereby causing damage to the life raft.

[0034] Furthermore, the heating device 12 is fixed to the inner wall of the storage space by bolts.

[0035] Furthermore, the heating device 12 is connected to a power cord 9 , and a portion of the power cord 9 extends outside the storage space. The power cord 9 can continuously supply power to the heating device 12 .

The upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are separated due to the turbulence of the raft, which not only takes up space, but also the heating device 12 arranged inside the box body cannot heat the life raft, which makes it difficult to heat the life raft in cold areas; when the life raft is arranged in the box body, the heating device 12 will continue to heat the internal space of the box body to ensure that the inflation system of the life raft will not freeze. Preferably, the heating device 12 is an electric heating device 12. In the utility model, the electric heating device 12 used is an electric heating tube, which can continuously heat the electric heating The heat pipe is powered to ensure that the electric heating pipe continuously heats the space inside the box body. Preferably, the electric heating device 12 is also provided with a constant temperature system. By providing a suitable temperature range for the constant temperature system, the constant temperature system detects whether the temperature inside the box body is within the temperature range. If it is higher than the temperature range, the heating device 12 is controlled to stop heating. If it is lower than the temperature range, the heating device 12 is controlled to heat. When it is needed, only the binding rope 3 needs to be released from the binding of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2, and the storage The life raft in the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 is released and inflated by the life raft's own inflation system (such as an inflation cylinder or a squeeze-type air pump carried by the life raft itself); in case of emergency, the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 sink into the sea, and the hydrostatic pressure releaser 8 is automatically activated when it comes into contact with water to cut off the connecting rope through an internal cutter to prevent the life raft from sinking to the bottom of the sea.
