Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of marine search and rescue equipment, and particularly relates to an AIS position marker. BACKGROUND
[0002] When the crew encounters the above extreme situation and falls into the water, the commonly used communication equipment such as mobile phones on the market often cannot be used, so a device that can emit a rescue signal in an extreme situation, i.e. a position marker, is needed to improve the survival probability of the fallen personnel. The current AIS position marker for marine search and rescue of individuals has the following problems: 1. In the extreme situation of personnel falling into the water, the position marker with a cylindrical or cubic shell has a high risk of accidental falling into the water when being held, resulting in a decrease in signal emission efficiency; 2. When the device itself falls into the water, the position marker is difficult to actively float upward quickly and stably, which can reduce the signal emission efficiency of the device itself and increase the difficulty of being held again.

[0025] When the crew encounters the above extreme situation and falls into the water, the commonly used communication equipment such as mobile phone and the like often cannot be used, so a device that can emit a rescue signal in an extreme situation, namely a position marker, is needed to improve the survival probability of the fallen personnel. The current AIS position marker for maritime search and rescue of individuals has the following problems: 1. In the extreme situation of personnel falling into the water, the position marker with a cylindrical or cuboid shell has a high risk of accidental falling into the water when being held, resulting in a low signal emission efficiency; 2. When the device itself falls into the water, the position marker is difficult to actively float upward to achieve rapid and stable floating, which can reduce the signal emission efficiency of the device itself and increase the difficulty of being held again.
[0026] In view of this, the utility model provides an AIS position marker 100, Figure 1 An embodiment of the AIS position marker 100 is provided.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 The AIS position marker 100 includes a position marker body 1 and a signal emitter, the position marker body 1 penetrates a holding groove 11 along the thickness direction thereof, which is used for the hand to pass through the position marker body 1; the signal emitter is arranged in the position marker body 1, and is used for emitting a distress signal.
[0028] In the technical scheme of the utility model, the holding groove 11 is penetrated through the position indicating mark main body 1 for people to hold, so when people fall into water, the four fingers except the thumb of the hand directly penetrate through the holding groove 11 to hold the position indicating mark main body 1, compared with the position indicating mark in the form of cylinder or cuboid, the probability that the position indicating mark is separated from the hand can be reduced, so that the person falling into water can send out a help signal in time, and the rescue efficiency is improved.
[0029] Further, referring to Figure 1 , the holding groove 11 is arranged close to the first side wall 111 of the position indicating mark main body 1 in the width direction; in this way, the hand contacts the first side wall 111, so that the hand is convenient to hold, and the holding stability is improved.
[0030] Further, referring to Figure 1 , the side wall close to the first side wall 111 of the holding groove 11 is provided with four recesses 1111, and the four recesses 1111 are distributed along the length direction of the position indicating mark main body 1; in this way, the four fingers except the thumb of the person falling into water can be buckled in the four recesses, the four recesses can limit the movement space of the four fingers, so that the hand can hold the position indicating mark main body 1 as much as possible, and the risk that the AIS position indicating mark 100 is separated from the hand is further reduced.
[0031] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 , the side wall close to the first side wall 111 of the holding groove 11 is provided with an anti-skid layer 2; in this way, by arranging the anti-skid layer 2, the friction between the first side wall 111 and the four fingers is increased, the probability that the AIS position indicating mark 100 is separated from the hand due to the influence of seawater and other factors is reduced, so that the emission efficiency of the help signal of the position indicating mark is avoided to be affected.
[0032] Further, in an embodiment of the utility model, the anti-skid layer 2 is a rubber layer, more specifically, the anti-skid layer 2 is prepared by rubber particles, and the surface is uneven, so that the friction is greatly increased.
[0033] Specifically, referring to Figure 1, the upper end face 12 of the marker body 1 is arc-shaped, and the middle part of the arc face is convexly arranged away from the marker body 1. In this way, when the AIS marker 100 accidentally contacts the water surface and falls into the water, the arc-shaped design of the upper end face 12 of the AIS marker 100 can quickly respond to the falling into the water, can reduce the resistance caused by the water surface tension when entering the water, and can quickly adjust the direction according to the gravity distribution of the AIS marker 100 after entering the water, so as to achieve the effects of active upward floating, rapid and stable upward floating, and increasing the holding probability. In addition, the seawater on the upper end of the AIS marker 100 can slide off, so that the AIS marker 100 is prevented from accumulating seawater on the upper end, so as to improve the signal transmission efficiency of the AIS marker 100 and prolong the service life of the AIS marker 100.
[0034] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 , the AIS marker 100 further comprises a battery 3, a control switch, a sensor 4 and a controller 5, the control switch is arranged outside the marker body 1, the battery 3, the sensor 4 and the controller 5 are arranged in the marker body 1; the control switch is connected with the sensor 4, and the controller 5 is electrically connected with the battery 3, the sensor 4 and the signal transmitter. In this way, the sensor 4 sends a signal to the controller 5 after measuring the control switch operated by the falling person, and the controller 5 controls the signal transmitter to send a distress signal outward according to the signal sent by the sensor 4, so that the rescuer can quickly determine the specific position of the falling person for rescue.
[0035] Further, please refer to Figure 1 , the signal transmitter is arranged close to the upper end of the marker body 1, and the battery 3, the sensor 4 and the controller 5 are arranged close to the lower end of the marker body 1. In this way, the AIS marker 100 itself has a certain floating performance and can be regarded as a float, and the battery 3, the sensor 4 and the controller 5 are arranged close to the lower end of the marker body 1, so that the center of gravity of the float can be reduced, so as to improve the floating ability and stability of the AIS marker 100 in the extreme case of falling into the water.
[0036] Specifically, in an embodiment of the utility model, the control switch is a press switch, and the sensor is a pressure sensor.
[0037] The above only describes preferred embodiments of the utility model, and does not limit the patent range of the utility model, and any equivalent structural transformation made by using the utility model specification and the drawings, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection range of the utility model.
