AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing lifebuoys are difficult to control in aquatic environments and are easily torn, making it impossible to approach a safe area or causing them to lose buoyancy.

Method used

A biomimetic life ring inspired by a ray was designed to withstand flood waves. It uses a LiDAR sensor and a swing arm device to drive the fins to mimic the movement of a ray. It moves on a circular track by a servo motor to cope with flood waves. Combined with LED lights and a waterproof motor cover, it ensures stability and safety.

Benefits of technology

It effectively helps trapped people stay stable in floodwaters while awaiting rescue or moving to a safe area, improving the controllability and damage resistance of lifebuoys.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a life buoy especially to a ray bionic life buoy that can resist flood wave. BACKGROUND

[0002] Life buoy is common lifesaving equipment in water rescue, usually made of light materials such as foam plastic, used in many occasions such as flood control and disaster relief, marine rescue and water employment.

[0003] The prior art life buoy has the following problems in water environment: first, the water flow speed makes the life buoy difficult to control the direction, so that the trapped person cannot approach the safe area; second, the life buoy is easily cut by debris, resulting in loss of buoyancy. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0004] The utility model aims at providing a life buoy that can resist flood wave impact and help approach the safe area.

[0005] Technical scheme: the utility model discloses a ray bionic life buoy that can resist flood wave, including life buoy and its peripheral fixed shell body, the shell body surface is equipped with the LIDAR sensor connected with the internal control panel, the annular groove in the shell body periphery is equipped with the swing arm device, the swing arm device includes the annular track fixed in the groove bottom, the slider in the track and the support plate fixed in the slider top, and the motor rotating along the annular internal rack and the steering gear driving the fin surface of the swing arm rod are fixed on the upper surface of the support plate.

[0006] Further, the steering gear is connected with the swing arm rod through the U-shaped assembly.

[0007] Further, the swing arm device is waterproof and rustproof.

[0008] Further, the life buoy surface is coated with reflective paint.

[0009] Further, the support plate is fixed with a protective cover sealing the motor.

[0010] Advantages: compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages: the swing arm device in the peripheral shell body drives the fin surface to imitate the moving mode of ray, and through the steering gear moving in the annular track, the flood wave in different directions is coped with, and the trapped person is helped to stabilize and wait for help or go to the safe place.
