[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0025] See Figure 1 A novel multifunctional life jacket includes: a jacket body 6, an air cylinder, and a pressure actuator 1. An air chamber is formed within the jacket body 6; the air cylinder is disposed within the air chamber and filled with compressed gas; and the pressure actuator is disposed within the jacket body, with a portion of the pressure actuator extending into the air chamber to form a trigger section. The connection between the trigger section and the air chamber is a sealed structure. A cutting assembly is installed on the trigger section corresponding to the air cylinder. A water inlet detection port is formed on the pressure actuator. The water inlet detection port detects water flow and activates the cutting assembly to puncture the air cylinder, causing the compressed gas inside the air cylinder to fill the air chamber.
[0026] In this invention, a preferred embodiment is as follows: when a person wearing the life jacket 6 falls into the water, the water flows through the water inlet to activate the pressure actuator 1, which in turn activates the cutting assembly to puncture the gas cylinder. The gas inside the gas cylinder overflows and fills the air chamber, thereby allowing the life jacket to float.
[0027] Preferably, the pressure actuator 1 can be based on existing technology (Chinese utility model patent, application number CN2008202164078), which includes a main valve body connected to a compressed gas cylinder, the main valve body being provided with an elastic device, a condition control device and a pin device, the condition control device including soluble roll paper.
[0028] In this utility model, a preferred embodiment is also provided: the pressure actuator 1 includes a housing, a grid hole disposed on the surface of the garment body 6 and connected to the interior of the housing, a sealing cover disposed on the grid hole, a plurality of water inlet detection ports formed on the sealing cover, a sensing chamber formed inside the housing, a water-soluble paper disposed inside the sensing chamber, an actuation component disposed on the water-soluble paper, the actuation component being controlled and connected to the cutting component, preferably, a sealing plate is disposed between the sensing chamber and the trigger section, the sealing plate can prevent water from flowing into the actuation section, and the actuation component passes through the sealing plate to... When a person wearing a life jacket falls into the water and the water depth exceeds 10 centimeters, seawater enters the induction chamber through the water inlet detection hole set on the sealed cover. The water-soluble paper on the activation component breaks under the immersion of seawater, thereby activating the activation component. The butterfly cutter component punctures the gas cylinder, and the gas is released instantly from the gas cylinder and enters the air chamber of the life jacket through the gas channel on the cutter's giant sword base, thus completing the automatic activation inflation process. The pressure actuator 1 is also equipped with a manual pull rope, which can be used to activate the pressure actuator 1 to inflate the body 6.
[0029] In this embodiment, another preferred implementation is also provided: the pressure exciter 1 can also be a gas cylinder, a water-soluble detonator, an automatic inflation valve, a firing pin, and a spring; the automatic inflation valve is connected to an automatic switch pull line. After falling into the water, the life jacket is immersed in the water, causing the water-soluble detonator in the pressure exciter 1 to soften under the action of the water, the firing pin loses its obstruction, and the spring extends to push the firing pin to pierce the sealing diaphragm of the high-pressure gas cylinder, so that the gas in the gas cylinder fills the air bag and generates buoyancy.
[0030] Furthermore, the air chamber is made of a material such as plastic that has a certain degree of flexibility and is airtight.
[0031] Furthermore, the surface of the garment 6 is provided with a waterproof layer.
[0032] Furthermore, an insulation layer is provided inside the garment body 6. This insulation layer enhances the warmth retention of the garment body 6, preventing heat loss due to prolonged immersion in water.
[0033] Furthermore, the garment 6 is equipped with reflective strips 3. These reflective strips 3 increase the probability of a person being spotted after falling into the water.
[0034] Furthermore, multiple reflective strips 3 are provided. Preferably, the reflective strips 3 are respectively provided on the elbows, legs, shoulders, front and back of the garment body 6.
[0035] Furthermore, the garment body 6 has an opening for putting on and taking off, and the opening is equipped with a zipper 5. The zipper 5 facilitates the putting on and taking off of the garment.
[0036] Furthermore, the zipper 5 is a waterproof zipper 5.
[0037] Furthermore, the garment body 6 is equipped with a lifting ring. This ring allows rescuers to hoist the person out of the water by attaching a hook to it after they fall in.
[0038] Furthermore, the garment body 6 is equipped with a companion hook 7. With the companion hook 7 installed on the back of the garment body 6, the user can use the companion hook 7 to secure the person in the water and the rescuer, thereby reducing the difficulty of the rescue.
[0039] Furthermore, a hood 4 is attached to the garment body 6, and the hood 4 is made of rubber elastic fabric. The rubber elastic fabric fits snugly against the skin, effectively preventing water from seeping in.
[0040] Furthermore, the cuffs of the life jacket are made of a rubberized, elastic fabric that fits snugly against the skin.
[0041] Furthermore, after a person falls into the water, a lifting structure is provided to suspend the person. This lifting structure includes a back cushioning and securing strap 8 that wraps around the person's waist, and a hip support strap 9 that is fixed at both ends to the back cushioning and securing strap 8 and positioned at the hips. The back cushioning and securing strap 8 is provided with a connecting strap 10, and a connecting ring is located at the top of the connecting strap 10. By hooking the connecting ring, the person who has fallen into the water can be rescued.
[0042] The following describes the usage process of this novel multifunctional life jacket.
[0043] When a person wearing the life jacket (6) falls into the water, the water flow through the water inlet activates the pressure actuator (1), which in turn activates the cutting component to puncture the gas cylinder. The gas inside the cylinder escapes and fills the air chamber, allowing the life jacket to float. The cuffs (2) and hood (4) use elastic rubber fabric that fits snugly against the skin to effectively prevent water penetration. Reflective strips (3) are installed on the body of the life jacket (6) to ensure the location of the person in the water and rescuers. The zipper (5) is waterproof, ensuring that the user's body will not be penetrated by water when zipped up. A companion hook (7) is installed on the back of the life jacket, allowing the user to secure themselves to the person in the water and rescuers, thus reducing the difficulty of the rescue.
[0044] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications to the present invention based on the above description. Therefore, certain details in the embodiments should not be construed as limiting the present invention, and the scope of protection of the present invention shall be defined by the appended claims.
