Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of marine escape capsules, in particular to an electric control device for marine escape capsules. Background Art

[0002] Traditional marine escape pod control systems typically utilize simple manual or semi-automatic control devices. These systems typically consist of a basic control module connected to multiple individual sensors and devices. These modules are limited to simple controls, such as ventilation and exhaust adjustments, based on pre-set parameters and manual operation. Gas processing units, hydraulic control devices, and other components typically operate independently, lacking unified and coordinated control and unable to dynamically adjust based on real-time data. Furthermore, conventional electronic control devices are often constructed from ordinary plastic or metal housings, which are susceptible to damage in the humid and corrosive environment of the ocean, resulting in poor long-term system stability.

[0003] Conventional control systems are unable to achieve intelligent, real-time responses to environmental data. They operate solely based on fixed setpoints and struggle to adapt to changing conditions. Even when equipped with sensors, these data are not automatically transmitted to the control unit for adjustment, requiring manual intervention. This design is not only inefficient but also poses a safety hazard by preventing rapid adjustments to the cabin environment in emergencies. Independently operating devices lack connectivity, leading to independent operations and ineffective coordination of the overall system. Furthermore, the housings of traditional electronic control devices are often constructed of common materials and lack specialized corrosion and waterproofing. In humid, salty, and other marine environments, these housings are susceptible to corrosion and water seepage, damaging internal circuit components and compromising the proper functioning of the entire electronic control unit. This lack of effective protection not only shortens the device's lifespan but also increases system maintenance costs and operational risks, potentially leading to system failure at critical moments.

[0004] In view of this, research and improvement are carried out to the existing problems, and an electric control device for marine escape pods is provided to solve the current problems. The purpose is to achieve the purpose of solving the problems and improving the practical value through this technology. Utility Model Content

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features therein can be combined with each other unless there is any conflict.

[0022] It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0023] The following is combined with Figure 1-Figure 3 Some embodiments of the present invention provide an electric control device for a marine escape capsule.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] The present invention provides an electronic control device for a marine escape pod, comprising a central control unit 100, a communication module 200, a power module 300, and a protective housing 400. The central control unit 100 is configured to receive and process environmental data from detection instruments and automatically adjust the operating state of a gas processing device based on this data. The communication module 200 connects to multiple detection instruments and control devices, such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, and carbon dioxide concentration sensors, to transmit detection data to the central control unit 100 in real time and control the operation of the gas processing device and hydraulic control device.

[0026] The power module 300 provides power for the entire device and is provided with a backup battery. When the external power supply is interrupted, the switching circuit can automatically switch to the backup battery for power supply to ensure that the device continues to work. The protective shell 400 covers the outside of the electronic control device and is made of metal or engineering plastic material. The surface is provided with an anti-corrosion coating and the inside is provided with a buffer pad to reduce the impact of external impact on the device. In addition, a sealing cover 410 is provided on the surface of the protective shell 400, and the sealing pad is used to prevent moisture from penetrating. A number of heat dissipation holes 411 are distributed on the surface of the sealing cover 410, and a waterproof and breathable membrane is provided inside the heat dissipation hole 411 to maintain internal air circulation.

[0027] Working Effect: During operation, the central control unit 100 automatically controls the CO2 absorption unit of the gas processing device upon receiving data from the CO2 concentration sensor, ensuring a consistently optimal cabin environment. In the event of a power failure, the power module 300 quickly switches to the backup battery, ensuring continued stable system operation. The corrosion-resistant and waterproof design of the protective housing 400 ensures the device's long-term operation in harsh marine environments, ensuring its safety and durability.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] In another embodiment, the electronic control device of the present invention also includes a central control unit 100, a communication module 200, a power module 300, and a protective housing 400. The central control unit 100 is connected to multiple control devices and detection instruments, including temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide sensors within the cabin. The communication module 200, through bidirectional communication with the gas processing device and hydraulic control device, monitors and adjusts the operation of these devices in real time to ensure a safe and stable environment within the escape cabin.

[0030] The power module 300 not only provides basic power support but also features intelligent switching capabilities. When the external power supply is insufficient or outages, it automatically switches to the backup battery to ensure uninterrupted operation. Furthermore, the protective housing 400 is equipped with a heat sink to improve the device's heat dissipation efficiency and prevent overheating after prolonged operation. To further enhance the protective effect, the surface of the protective housing 400 is coated with a multi-layer anti-corrosion coating to resist corrosion from seawater. Reinforced cushioning material is also incorporated into the interior to prevent damage to the device from hull shaking or external impacts.

[0031] Working Effect: Through the two-way communication function of the communication module 200, the electronic control device can achieve coordinated control of the gas processing device and the hydraulic control device under different operating conditions. For example, when the temperature in the cabin is too high, the central control unit 100 automatically activates the heat dissipation device based on the data from the temperature sensor to reduce the cabin temperature; and when the carbon dioxide concentration is detected to be too high, the carbon dioxide absorption device is activated to maintain a safe environment. In addition, the power switching function of the power module 300 enhances the system's emergency response capabilities and avoids the risk of equipment downtime due to external power failure. The waterproof and heat dissipation design of the protective housing 400 ensures the reliable operation of the equipment in various complex marine environments.

[0032] Automatic adjustment: In the present invention, the central control unit 100 can automatically adjust the operation of the gas processing device after real-time data analysis with the sensor, including adjusting parameters such as wind speed, temperature and humidity to achieve the best cabin environment.

[0033] Intelligent power switching: Based on the power module 300, an intelligent switching module is designed to automatically switch to the backup battery when the main power fails without manual operation, thus avoiding system downtime caused by power outages.

[0034] Enhanced protection: The protective housing 400 not only has basic anti-corrosion and waterproof functions, but is also equipped with a heat sink and buffer design to adapt to scenarios of long-term high-load work, ensuring that the equipment can still operate stably in high temperatures or severe shaking.

[0035] Through the specific description of the above two embodiments, the utility model demonstrates the actual working principles and improvement measures in the application of marine escape pods, focusing on solving the shortcomings of traditional technologies in intelligence, emergency response and durability, and ensuring that the electronic control device can continue to operate efficiently in complex marine environments.
