Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine safety technology, and in particular to a quick-fill foam lifeboat raft. Background Technology
[0002] As is generally known, a ship is a man-made means of transportation that primarily operates in geographical waters. Its interior mainly comprises a carrying space, supporting structure, and drainage structure, and it possesses a propulsion system that utilizes external or internal energy sources. However, when navigating through areas with strong currents or reefs, ships may suffer various forms of damage under the influence of external forces. Therefore, existing ships are equipped with airbags or other buoyancy-enhancing devices on both sides to increase buoyancy and cope with minor damage. They also need to carry lifeboats and rafts for escape in the event of severe damage. However, existing buoyancy-enhancing devices and lifeboats and rafts each have only a single function.
[0003] To address this, we designed a quick-fill foam lifeboat / raft. Utility Model Content

[0027] The present invention will be explained in detail through the following embodiments. The purpose of disclosing the present invention is to protect all technical improvements within the scope of the present invention.

It should be understood that if terms such as "end", "side", "end portion", "side part", "lateral", "longitudinal", etc. indicate orientation or positional relationship, they are only corresponding to the length and width of the corresponding component. That is, "end" indicates the head and tail area in the length direction of the corresponding component, and "side part" indicates the head and tail area in the width direction of the corresponding component. They are used for the convenience of describing the present invention and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation.
[0028] Example 1, in conjunction with Appendix Figure 1-7 A quick-filling foam lifeboat raft includes a vessel 1, with molded bags 3 in the shape of a lifeboat raft installed on both sides of the vessel 1 via detachable structures 2; it also includes a filling device 4 for filling the molded bags 3 with foam; it should be noted that: under normal conditions, the inner cavity of the molded bag 3 is vacuum treated, and is in a compressed and easily unfolded folded state; when the inner cavity of the molded bag 3 is filled with foam, the molded bag 3 is expanded under the action of the foam to form the shape of a lifeboat raft.
[0029] If necessary, the mold bag 3 can also be placed inside the vessel 1. When needed, it can be filled with foam adhesive by the filling device 4 and then thrown into the water for use.
[0030] As required, the molded bag 3 is made of Oxford cloth.
[0031] Combined with appendix Figure 2 The detachable structure 2 includes a vertical slide plate 21 and a sliding member 23. The vertical slide plate 21 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the vessel 1. The middle of the outer side of the vertical slide plate 21 has an opening 211, the lower end is closed, and the upper end is provided with an opening and closing structure 22. The sliding member 23 is provided on the outer wall of the mold bag 3. The side of the sliding member 23 facing away from the mold bag 3 is adapted to be provided in the slide cavity of the vertical slide plate 21 so that it can slide out from the upper end of the vertical slide plate 21 after the opening and closing structure 22 opens the upper end of the vertical slide plate 21.
[0032] As needed, the vertical slide plate 21 can be C-shaped or U-shaped with inwardly extending portions at both open ends.
[0033] This design allows foam adhesive to be filled into the molded bag 3 via the filling device 4 when the vessel 1 is slightly damaged and tilts, causing the molded bag 3 to unfold into a life raft shape to increase buoyancy and correct the tilting of the vessel 1. When the vessel 1 is severely damaged and unusable or about to sink, foam adhesive can be filled into the molded bag 3 via the filling device 4, causing the molded bag 3 to unfold into a life raft shape. At this time, personnel can enter the unfolded molded bag 3 and disassemble the detachable structure 2, allowing the unfolded molded bag 3 to detach from the vessel 1 for escape. The design of the detachable structure 2 and the molded bag 3 allows the molded bag 3 to act as a buoyancy-increasing device when the vessel 1 is slightly damaged, and when the vessel 1 is severely damaged, the unfolded molded bag 3 can be used as a life raft by disassembling the detachable structure 2, achieving a dual function.
[0034] As needed, to increase the stability of the mold bag 3 installed on the vessel 1, at least one pair of vertical sliding plates 21 are provided at intervals along the length of the side wall of the vessel 1.
[0035] Furthermore, the opening and closing structure 22 also includes a limiting rod 221 that is radially inserted into the upper port of the vertical slide plate 21. The two vertical slide plates 21 in pairs are each inserted into the opposite side of the limiting rod 221. A driving member 222 for driving its axial movement is provided between the two limiting rods 221 so as to open the upper port of the vertical slide plate 21.
[0036] As needed, the drive component 222 can be a bidirectional threaded sleeve, with each of its two threaded portions engaging with the corresponding end of the limiting rod 221. To prevent axial movement of the drive component 222 during rotation, the drive component 222 is connected to the outer wall of the vessel 1 via a rotating seat 5.
[0037] If necessary, the drive unit 222 can also be an electric telescopic cylinder with a bidirectional telescopic head, that is, the two telescopic heads of the electric telescopic cylinder can retract simultaneously.
[0038] As needed, the filling device 4 includes a pressure tank 41 and a valve body 42, with the pressure tank 41 connected to the injection port of the molded bag 3 via the valve body 42. Preferably, the valve body 42 is a solenoid valve. In this example, the pressure tank 41 stores polyurethane; specifically, different curing speeds of polyurethane can be selected according to the specific application environment to ensure that the polyurethane can be completely and fully filled into the molded bag 3.
[0039] In one possible implementation, combined with the appendix Figure 3The pressure tank 41 is located inside the vessel 1. The pressure tank 41 is connected to all the injection ports of the molded bags 3 through a valve body 42. That is, the outlet of the valve body 42 is connected to multiple pipelines, which are connected to the injection ports of the molded bags 3 one by one.
[0040] In one possible implementation, combined with the appendix Figure 4 The pressure tank 41 is located inside the vessel 1. The pressure tank 41 is connected to all the injection ports of the molded bags 3 via two valve bodies 42. Specifically, one valve body 42 is connected to all the injection ports of the molded bags 3 on one side of the vessel 1, and the other valve body 42 is connected to all the injection ports of the molded bags 3 on the other side of the vessel 1.
[0041] It should be noted that, in order to allow the mold bag 3 with its unfolded opening to detach from the vessel 1, the valve body 42 is connected to the injection port of the mold bag 3 via a quick-connect interface. It should also be noted that the quick-connect interface is a commonly used existing structure in gas and liquid pipelines, and its structure will not be described in detail here.
[0042] In one possible implementation, combined with the appendix Figure 5-6 Each mold bag 3 can also correspond to a pressure tank 41. In this case, the pressure tank 41 can also be wrapped inside the mold bag 3 when the mold bag 3 is folded, or it can be fixed or detachably installed on the ship 1.
[0043] Depending on the needs, the inside of the molded bag 3 can also contain a matching foldable solar panel, battery, and small electric water turbine propulsion unit. For example, secured by bandages, when the molded bag 3 is filled with foam adhesive and unfolded, the foldable solar panel, battery, and small electric water turbine propulsion unit (not shown in the figure) are located inside the lifeboat-shaped molded bag 3 and will not fall off due to the bandages, thus preparing for escape.
[0044] It should be noted that detachable structure 2 requires waterproofing treatment.
[0045] The parts of this utility model not described in detail are prior art. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that this utility model can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and are intended to include all changes that fall within the meaning and scope of equivalents within this utility model.
