Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship rescue technology, specifically to a multifunctional life jacket light. Background Technology
[0002] Life jackets are essential life-saving equipment on ships, and life jacket lights, which are designed to complement life jackets, are even more indispensable pieces of maritime life-saving equipment. When a ship is in an accident at sea and people fall overboard, at night or in low light conditions, search and rescue personnel can use the light signals emitted by the life jacket lights to locate the person in the water and provide assistance, thereby greatly ensuring the safety of the person in the water.
[0003] Existing life jacket lights only provide a flashing light distress signal to those in distress, offering a relatively limited functionality. Life jackets are also equipped with a whistle that emits an audible signal; the whistle and the life jacket light are stored separately and connected to the life jacket via a rope. This presents numerous inconveniences for those in distress, especially in situations of high tension, where the whistle may be difficult to find when needed. Relying on flashing lights and whistles to transmit distress signals significantly limits the chances of search and rescue personnel locating victims, particularly in complex weather conditions where the distance of light and sound transmission is limited, and sea swells further reduce the propagation distance. In foggy weather, locating victims in a timely and accurate manner becomes even more difficult. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a multifunctional life jacket light, which solves the technical problem that the existing life jacket lights can only provide a light distress signal to the victims by flashing the light, which is relatively simple in function, and in foggy weather conditions, it is difficult for search and rescue personnel to find the location of the victims in a timely and accurate manner.

It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Figure 1 The figure shown is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of a multifunctional life jacket lamp provided in an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 The image shown is a bottom view of a multifunctional life jacket lamp provided in an embodiment of this utility model; Figure 3 The figure shown is a cross-sectional view of a multifunctional life jacket lamp provided in an embodiment of this utility model; Figure 4 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the base and buckle of a multifunctional life jacket light according to an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 1-4As shown, the life jacket light includes: a base 1; a light body 3, which is slidably connected to the base 1; a whistle 6, which is located at one end of the base 1; a Beidou positioning device 13, which is installed inside the base 1; and a counterweight 18, which is located at the bottom of the base 1. By installing the Beidou positioning device 13, when a ship is in distress or a person falls into the water, the life jacket light can automatically connect to the power supply upon contact with water (it can also be manually connected), thus energizing the device and sending a location signal. Search and rescue personnel can then locate the person in the water promptly and accurately based on the received positioning signal and conduct rescue operations. Even at night or in severe weather or sea conditions, the positioning signal can still be emitted, providing relatively accurate location guidance for search and rescue personnel in adverse weather and sea conditions.
[0026] In one possible implementation, the life jacket light further includes: a mounting plate 12, which is fixedly mounted on the base 1; a battery 14, which is mounted on the mounting plate 12, and the Beidou positioning device 13 is electrically connected to the battery 14; a charging port 16, which is located at one end of the light body 3 and connected to the battery 14; and a sealing plug 17, which is inserted into the outside of the charging port 16.
[0027] It should be noted that the bottom of the lamp body 3 is fixed with a mounting plate 12 by bolts, and the upper surface of the mounting plate 12 is provided with a mounting base. The mounting base is respectively installed with a Beidou positioning device 13 and a storage battery 14. The principle of the Beidou positioning device is based on satellite positioning. By receiving signals transmitted by satellites, it performs signal processing and calculation to emit its own position signal. Finally, rescuers receive the position result of the positioning device through a specific device (such as a mobile phone or tablet): precise latitude and longitude position information, and obtain the positioning result. Both the Beidou positioning device 13 and the LED light 4 are electrically connected to the storage battery 14. One end of the storage battery 14 is provided with a charging port 16, which passes through the lamp body 3. A sealing plug 17 is inserted into the outside of the charging port 16 to prevent the charging port from being damaged or blocked by foreign objects. The entire lamp body is designed with a water seal to prevent water from entering the lamp body 3 after the life jacket light falls into the water, which could cause short circuits in the circuit board of the LED light, the Beidou positioning device, and the storage battery.
[0028] In one possible implementation, the life jacket light further includes: a slide rail 2, which is disposed on both sides of the base 1; and a mounting groove 31, which is formed inside the light body 3 and slidably connected to the slide rail 2. Specifically, the upper surface of the base 1 is fixed with slide rails 2 on both sides by bolts, which serve as sliding connections. The slide rail 2 has a T-shaped cross-section and is slidably connected to the light body 3. The top of the light body 3 has a mounting groove 31, which is slidably connected to the slide rail 2.
[0029] In one possible implementation, the life jacket light further includes: an LED light 4, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the light body 3 and electrically connected to the battery 14; and a transparent cover 5, which is semi-circular in structure and fixedly mounted on the light body 3, located outside the LED light 4. Specifically, the LED light 4 with a circuit board is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 31; the transparent cover 5, which is semi-circular in structure and sealed to the light body 3, ensures the airtightness of the LED light 4, preventing water ingress and affecting its use, and is located outside the LED light 4. By using the LED light 4 as the light source, the light has high brightness and stronger penetration, allowing it to travel a longer distance. Powered by a small battery, it ensures sufficient power reserves, providing a longer power supply for the light and positioning device. A testing function is added to the device, allowing for periodic checks on the effectiveness of the positioning signal transmission, testing the light's normal operation, and checking the power level to remind timely charging.
[0030] In one possible implementation, the life jacket light also includes: a sound hole 7, which is opened on the base 1; and a resonance cavity 8, which is disposed in the base 1. The sound hole 7, the resonance cavity 8, and the whistle 6 are connected.
[0031] It should be noted that one end of the base 1 is provided with a whistle 6, and a sealing sleeve 9 is fitted on the outside of the whistle 6. The base 1 is provided with a resonance cavity 8. The sealing sleeve 9 can prevent water from entering the resonance cavity 8. The top of the base 1 is provided with a sound-emitting hole 7. The whistle 6, the sound-emitting hole 7 and the resonance cavity 8 are connected. The whistle 6, the sound-emitting hole 7 and the resonance cavity 8 are provided on the base 1 so that they can be used in conjunction with the LED light 4. When the LED light 4 is damaged due to insufficient power or collision, it can emit a whistle, which can effectively penetrate the complex environment and enable search and rescue personnel to quickly locate the area where the trapped person is located.
[0032] By integrating the whistle 6, LED light 4, and Beidou positioning device 13, the number of life jacket accessories is reduced, making management and use easier. A counterweight 18 is added under the base 1 of the light body 3, ensuring that the light cover always floats upwards after the life jacket light falls into the water, guaranteeing efficient use of the life jacket light and maintaining the normal operation of the positioning transmitter. After a person in distress finds nearby rescuers, they can blow the whistle 6 to provide precise location guidance.
[0033] In one possible implementation, the life jacket light further includes a sealing gasket 15, which is disposed at the bottom of the fixing plate 12. The sealing gasket 15 is used to seal the electronic components inside the light body 3. The sealing gasket 15 is adhered to the bottom of the fixing plate 12. The sealing gasket 15 can seal the electronic components inside the light body 3, and the sealing gasket 15 can block the sound-emitting hole 7 when the light body 3 moves, and can also prevent water from entering the resonance cavity 8.
[0034] In one possible implementation, the life jacket light further includes: a fixing plate 10, which is fixedly connected to the other end of the base plate 1; and a fixing hole 11, which is installed on the fixing plate 10 and is an integrally formed structure for fixing the life jacket light to the life jacket. The other end of the base 1 is fixed to the fixing plate 10 by bolts, and one side of the fixing plate 10 has an integrally formed fixing hole 11. A safety rope is installed in the fixing hole 11, further enhancing the reliability of the fixation and preventing the life jacket light from accidentally falling off even in complex water conditions. (See reference...) Figure 2 The base 1 has a counterweight 18 fixed to the bottom by bolts. The counterweight 18 and the resonance chamber 8 work together to ensure that the life jacket light always floats on the water surface with the bulb facing upwards. This not only avoids the problem of the bulb sinking to the bottom, but also ensures the efficient use of the life jacket light.
[0035] In one possible implementation, the life jacket light further includes: a buckle 19, which is rotatably connected to one end of the bottom of the counterweight 9, and the counterweight 9 and the buckle 19 are fixedly connected by a torsion spring; a protective protrusion 23, which is located at the other end of the bottom of the buckle 19; and an anti-slip protrusion 20, which is located at the bottom of the counterweight 18 and is an integrally formed structure, engaging with the protective protrusion 23. The buckle 19 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the counterweight 18, and a torsion spring is provided at the connection between the buckle 19 and the bottom of the counterweight 18. The anti-slip protrusion 20 is integrally formed at the bottom of the counterweight 18. The addition of a protective protrusion at the buckle 19 ensures that the life jacket light is firmly locked, preventing instability caused by external shaking, thus effectively avoiding potential safety hazards caused by the light detaching from the life jacket. Furthermore, the anti-slip protrusion 20 engages with the protective protrusion 23.
[0036] The base 1 features a buckle 19 and a protective protrusion 23, ensuring the life jacket light is securely fastened to the life jacket during normal storage. This prevents the light from falling off due to external shaking or other reasons, effectively avoiding loss or damage caused by the light detaching from the life jacket. The base 1 also has a fixing hole 11. By attaching a safety rope to the fixing hole 11 and then to the life jacket, the reliability of the connection between the life jacket light and the life jacket is further enhanced. Even in complex water conditions, this prevents the life jacket light from accidentally detaching from the life jacket.
[0037] In one possible implementation, the life jacket light also includes a power switch 21 and a power indicator light 22, which are mounted on the other end of the light body 3.
[0038] In one possible implementation, the life jacket light also includes a sealing sleeve 9, which is fitted onto the whistle port 6.
[0039] The working principle of this utility model: The main structure of the life jacket light consists of a high-density plastic shell and internal circuitry. Before use, the life jacket light needs to be clamped to the shoulder area of the life jacket using the bottom buckle 19 to ensure a tight fit between the light and the wearer's body, thus not hindering movement. After securing it to the shoulder, a safety rope is then attached to one side of the fixing hole 11 on the life jacket light, connecting it to the life jacket and effectively reducing the risk of the life jacket light falling off. When a person falls into the water and is in danger, the life jacket light will come into play. First, the LED light 4 on the top of the life jacket light will automatically emit a red light. Red light has strong penetrating power, and in the dark, this red light can effectively attract the attention of search and rescue personnel, making it easier for them to quickly locate the person in the water. In addition, the LED light 4 emits light electronically, featuring a long lifespan and stable brightness, meeting the requirements for long-term use. The life jacket light also has Beidou positioning function. The Beidou positioning device 13 can accurately locate the person who has fallen into the water by receiving satellite signals, providing accurate rescue basis for search and rescue personnel. In emergency situations, it can greatly shorten rescue time and improve rescue efficiency.
[0040] However, in actual use, if the LED light intensity decreases due to insufficient battery power or impact, the life jacket light can still ensure the safety of the rescuer. In this case, the user can release the buckle 19, pull out the sealing sleeve 9 on one side of the whistle 6, and then push the light body 3 to expose the sound hole 7. After blowing the whistle 6, the sound will be transmitted through the sound hole 7 and the resonance chamber 8 to produce a loud whistle. This sound signal can be transmitted to the ears of the search and rescue personnel, reminding them of the location of the person in the water, further saving rescue time. The design of the life jacket light also fully considers the principle of buoyancy. In order to keep the light body floating on the water surface and avoid the impact of sinking to the bottom on the rescue effect, the life jacket light is equipped with a counterweight 18. The counterweight works with the resonance chamber 8 to ensure that the light body remains balanced underwater and that the person in the water is always within the rescuer's line of sight.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
