Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water park equipment, in particular to an intelligent induction raft. Background Art

[0002] The Smart Sensor Raft is a new type of water sports equipment that combines modern sensing technology, automatic control technology, and a magnetic propulsion system. It is specifically designed for use in water parks, allowing visitors to play on slides and surf. While traditional rafts offer good buoyancy and stability, they have limitations in handling complex rides and enhancing the visitor experience.

[0003] Traditional rafts rely primarily on fixed airbags and simple structural designs to provide buoyancy and stability. However, this design has the following limitations: (1) The airbag pressure cannot be adjusted. Once the airbag is inflated, the air pressure cannot be dynamically adjusted during use. This results in the buoyancy and stability of the raft being unable to be optimized in different environments, affecting safety and comfort. (2) Insufficient safety. In other words, during high-speed gliding and complex slide structures, traditional rafts are prone to rollover or loss of control, leading to safety accidents. Utility Model Content

[0037] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0039] It should also be noted that, in the description of this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this disclosure based on specific circumstances.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present disclosure provides an intelligent sensing raft, including a raft body 10, a detection component 20, an adjustment mechanism 30 and a controller. The raft body 10 includes a raft body 11, an airbag 12 and a passenger cabin 13. The airbag 12 is provided inside the raft body 11, and the passenger cabin 13 is installed in the middle of the raft body 11. The detection component 20 includes a first sensor 21, which is provided on the airbag 12. The first sensor 21 is used to detect the pressure difference between the airbag 12 and the external atmosphere. The adjustment mechanism 30 includes an air pressure adjustment component 31, which is used to adjust the air pressure in the airbag 12. The air pressure adjustment component 31 and the first sensor 21 are both electrically connected to the controller.

[0041] The raft body 10, serving as the foundational structure of the entire intelligent sensor raft, consists of a hull 11, an airbag 12, and a passenger compartment 13. The hull 11 is the outer shell of the raft, providing both basic buoyancy and protection for the airbag 12 and passenger compartment 13 within. The airbag 12, located within the hull 11, is a key component in maintaining the raft's buoyancy. The passenger compartment 13, located in the center of the hull 11, provides a comfortable ride for passengers.

[0042] The controller can receive data from the first sensor 21 and, based on the data, send instructions to the air pressure regulating assembly 31 to precisely control the air pressure of the airbag 12. Furthermore, the controller can also include additional advanced functions, such as fault diagnosis and status display, to further enhance the intelligence of the raft.

[0043] Through the above technical solution, by providing a first sensor 21, the first sensor 21 is used to monitor the status of the airbag 12 in real time (i.e., the difference in air pressure inside and outside the airbag 12), which can prevent safety accidents caused by excessively high or low air pressure, thereby ensuring the safety and comfort of the raft. In addition, by providing an air pressure regulating component 31, the air pressure regulating component 31 can automatically adjust the air pressure inside the airbag 12 based on the data provided by the first sensor 21. Such a design not only improves the safety of the raft, but also allows for flexible adjustment according to different water environments and passenger needs, thereby enhancing the user experience. In other words, the intelligent sensing raft provided by the present disclosure can significantly improve the safety, comfort, and convenience of traditional rafts by integrating advanced detection, regulation, and control technologies.

[0044] Optionally, the first sensor 21 may be a differential pressure sensor, a relative pressure sensor, or a MEMS (micro-electromechanical system) pressure sensor, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0045] Optionally, the controller may be a microcontroller (MCU), a programmable logic controller (PLC), or an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0046] In order to enhance the safety and flexibility of the intelligent sensor raft, as an implementation method, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, there are multiple airbags 12, and the multiple airbags 12 are installed inside the raft body 11. Each airbag 12 is provided with a first sensor 21 and an air pressure regulating component 31, wherein the number of the first sensors 21 and the number of the air pressure regulating components 31 correspond one-to-one to the number of the airbags 12.

[0047] The multiple airbags 12 provide increased redundancy. Even if one airbag 12 is damaged, the remaining airbags 12 can still maintain the buoyancy of the raft, thereby improving the safety of the entire raft. Furthermore, the multiple airbags 12 can be independently adjusted based on different water conditions (such as current speed and wave height), ensuring that the raft maintains optimal performance in various environments.

[0048] Each airbag 12 has its own independent sensor and adjustment components, allowing it to independently monitor and adjust air pressure. This allows the raft to quickly respond to anomalies in different areas, preventing overall failure. In other words, each airbag 12 is a separate module. If a problem occurs in a particular airbag 12, only that airbag 12 needs to be replaced or repaired, rather than the entire raft. This reduces maintenance costs and complexity. Furthermore, the independent sensors and adjustment components allow for rapid location of the fault, facilitating timely repairs and minimizing downtime.

[0049] As an implementation method, Figure 3As shown, the air pressure regulating assembly 31 includes a first air pump 311 and a first valve 312. The output port of each first air pump 311 is connected to the inflation port of the corresponding airbag 12. A first valve 312 is provided on each airbag 12. Each first air pump 311 and each first valve 312 are electrically connected to the controller.

[0050] Each first air pump 311 and first valve 312 is electrically connected to a controller. The controller can send instructions to control the start and stop of the air pump, or send instructions to control the opening and closing of the valve, based on the detection results of the first sensor 21, to achieve automatic regulation of the air pressure of a single airbag 12. Specifically, when the air pressure of a particular airbag 12 is lower than a preset value, the controller can send an instruction to start the corresponding first air pump 311 to inflate the airbag 12 until the air pressure reaches the preset value. When the air pressure of a particular airbag 12 is higher than the preset value, the controller can send an instruction to open the corresponding first valve 312, releasing the gas in the airbag 12 until the air pressure drops to the preset value.

[0051] Since each air bag 12 has an independent regulating assembly, not only can very precise air pressure regulation be achieved to ensure the best performance of the raft under different conditions, but the air pressure adjustment can also be completed in a short time, which can improve the response speed of the air pressure regulation.

[0052] Optionally, the first valve 312 may be a solenoid valve, a pneumatic valve, or a one-way valve, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0053] As an implementation method, Figure 3 As shown, the detection component 20 also includes a second sensor 22, and the adjustment mechanism 30 also includes an angle adjustment component 32. The second sensor 22 is provided on the raft body 10, and the second sensor 22 is used to detect the angle between the top surface of the corresponding raft body 10 and the horizontal plane. The angle adjustment component 32 is provided on the raft body 10, and the angle adjustment component 32 is used to adjust the inclination angle of the raft body 10. The angle adjustment component 32 and the second sensor 22 are both electrically connected to the controller.

[0054] In an embodiment where there is only one second sensor 22, the second sensor 22 can be mounted in the middle of the raft body 10. When the second sensor 22 detects that the angle between the top surface of the raft body 10 and the horizontal plane is greater than 60°, it transmits data to the controller. The controller can then directly adjust the raft's tilt angle by controlling the angle adjustment assembly 32 using mechanical devices (such as an electric push rod, a stabilizer, a buoyancy bag 321, etc.). In other words, by detecting and adjusting the raft's tilt angle in real time, the raft can be effectively prevented from capsizing in waters with large waves or turbulent currents, thereby improving the safety of passengers.

[0055] For the embodiment in which the number of the second sensors 22 is multiple, as shown in FIG. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, there are multiple second sensors 22, and the multiple second sensors 22 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the raft body 10; there are multiple angle adjustment components 32, and the multiple angle adjustment components 32 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the raft body 10, wherein the number of second sensors 22 corresponds to the number of angle adjustment components 32 one by one.

[0056] Multiple second sensors 22 are evenly distributed around the raft body 10 to ensure comprehensive coverage of different parts of the raft. Each second sensor 22 detects the angle between the top surface of the raft body 10 and the horizontal plane at its location, thereby detecting the tilt angle at different locations on the raft. Furthermore, each angle adjustment assembly 32 independently adjusts itself based on the detection results of its corresponding second sensor 22, ensuring that each part of the raft maintains an optimal tilt angle. This allows for real-time monitoring and adjustment of the raft's tilt angle, effectively preventing the raft from capsizing in rough or turbulent waters and improving safety.

[0057] Optionally, the second sensor 22 may be an accelerometer, a gyroscope, or an inclination sensor, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0058] As an implementation method, Figure 3 As shown, the angle adjustment assembly 32 includes a buoyancy bag 321 and a second air pump 322. The buoyancy bag 321 can be detachably connected to the outer surface of the raft body 10. The output port of the second air pump 322 is connected to the corresponding vent of the buoyancy bag 321, and the second air pump 322 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0059] Specifically, the second sensor 22 detects the tilt angle of different parts of the raft body 10 in real time and transmits the data to the controller. When the tilt angle of a certain part exceeds a preset value, the controller sends a command to activate the corresponding second air pump 322, inflating the buoyancy bag 321 in that part, increasing the buoyancy of that part and thus adjusting the tilt angle of the raft.

[0060] Optionally, the buoyancy bag 321 may be made of PVC, TPU, etc., which have good weather resistance, wear resistance and waterproof properties.

[0061] It is understandable that the vent of the buoyancy bag 321 can be used as an inflation port or as a deflation port.

[0062] Optionally, the first air pump 311 and the second air pump 322 may both be micro air pumps, DC air pumps, or brushless DC air pumps, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0063] As an embodiment of a detachable connection between the buoyancy bag 321 and the raft body 10, the smart induction raft also includes hard-hair Velcro and soft-hair Velcro. The buoyancy bag 321 is connected to the hard-hair Velcro, and the outer surface of the raft body 10 is connected to the soft-hair Velcro.

[0064] Specifically, align the hard Velcro on the buoyancy bag 321 with the soft Velcro on the outer surface of the raft body 10 and gently press to complete the installation. To remove the buoyancy bag 321, simply tear the Velcro apart to remove it from the raft body 10. This design facilitates maintenance and replacement of the buoyancy bag 321 and allows it to be removed when not in use, reducing the weight of the raft.

[0065] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0066] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any appropriate manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not further describe various possible combinations.

[0067] In addition, the various embodiments of the present disclosure may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present disclosure, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present disclosure.
