[0002] Water rescue refers to the process of rescuing people or vessels that are trapped while engaged in water activities. With the continuous development of society and the economy, people's safety awareness is constantly improving. To enhance the safety of water activities, various rescue and prevention facilities have emerged on the market, such as lifeboats, life jackets, and life rings. However, for some emergencies, how to quickly provide rescue equipment to people who have fallen into the water becomes a key issue.

[0003] Currently, the most common rescue equipment includes life rings and life jackets, but their effectiveness in actual rescue operations is relatively limited. Firstly, life rings and life jackets need to be thrown manually to the vicinity of the person being rescued. However, for drowning victims at a distance, this is not only difficult to throw, but also cannot guarantee that the life ring will land accurately near the victim. Secondly, if the environment is unfavorable for the rescue boat's navigation, it severely impacts the rescue work, and may even prevent the rescue from proceeding smoothly. If multiple people need to be rescued simultaneously, it is necessary to repeatedly move to the vicinity of each victim and then throw life rings or life jackets separately, resulting in a slow rescue speed. Thirdly, life rings are generally quite heavy, and there is a certain probability that they will land upside down in the water when thrown manually, requiring rescuers to turn them over. This process takes time, delaying the optimal rescue opportunity and increasing the risk of rescuers falling into the water.
