[0027] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0028] like Figures 1-7As shown, an emergency escape passage device for an offshore oil platform includes an oil platform body 1. A limiting component 4 is fixedly installed on the left side of the bottom inner cavity of the oil platform body 1. An emergency escape passage 2 is fixedly installed in the top inner cavity of the oil platform body 1. A life raft 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the emergency escape passage 2. The life raft 3 has a polygonal structure. The emergency escape passage 2 is made of high-strength wear-resistant material, enabling the device to withstand the impact of extreme weather conditions and emergency evacuation. The emergency escape passage 2 includes an escape exit 25 and several connecting rings 21. The lower surface of the escape exit 25 is fixedly installed to the upper surface of the bottom of the life raft 3. The bottom of the lowest connecting ring 21 is fixedly installed to the top of the escape exit 25. An outer net 22 is fixedly installed between adjacent connecting rings 21. A sliding net 26 is fixedly installed inside the connecting rings 21. Inside the outer mesh 22 of the passage, an escape entrance 24 is fixedly installed on the top of the uppermost connecting ring 21. An installation plate 23 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the escape entrance 24. The lower surface of the installation plate 23 is fixedly installed to the lower surface of the inner cavity of the top of the oil platform body 1 by screws. The limiting component 4 includes an electric push rod 49 and a baffle 41. The lower surface of the baffle 41 overlaps with the lower surface of the oil platform body 1. The fixed end of the electric push rod 49 is fixedly installed to the left side of the bottom inner cavity of the oil platform body 1. The output end of the electric push rod 49 passes through the oil platform body 1 and is fixedly installed to a Y-shaped connecting plate 46 by screws. An L-shaped limiting seat 45 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the bottom of the connecting plate 46. A slot 410 is opened on the right side of the bottom of the limiting seat 45. The inner cavity of the slot 410 is inserted into the left side of the baffle 41. The left ends of both the slot 410 and the baffle 41 are arc-shaped.

[0029] During escape, the connecting plate 46 and the limiting seat 45 are pushed to the left by the electric actuator 49, causing the slot 410 to separate from the baffle 41. This releases the limiting support of the limiting seat 45 on the baffle 41. Under the action of gravity, the baffle 41 rotates, opening the oil platform body 1, allowing the life raft 3 to move out of the inner cavity of the oil platform body 1. This quickly deploys the emergency escape passage 2 until the life raft 3 lands on the sea surface and opens, facilitating the evacuation of personnel on the platform. Personnel on the platform enter the outer net 22 of the passage through the escape entrance 24 and are guided quickly by the slide net 26. The system smoothly slides down through multiple passageways and external netting 22, allowing personnel to safely reach the life raft 3. The first personnel to reach the life raft 3 exit through the escape exit 25, locate and activate the escape equipment on the life raft 3. The installation of lighting 5 and reflective strips 27 provides illumination for personnel on the life raft 3 at night or in low light conditions, facilitating quick location of the life-saving equipment on the life raft 3, thereby improving escape efficiency and safety. In emergency situations such as fires and explosions, it can provide a fast and safe evacuation route for personnel on the platform.

[0030] like Figure 2As shown, three lighting lamps 5 arranged in a ring array are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the bottom inner cavity of the oil platform body 1.

[0031] The lighting 5 provides illumination for people on the life raft 3 at night or in low light conditions, making it easier for them to quickly locate the life-saving equipment on the life raft 3, thereby improving escape efficiency and safety.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, adjacent slide nets 26 are arranged in opposite directions, and several slide nets 26 are arranged in a spiral shape. Both the slide nets 26 and the outer net of the passage 22 are made of flame-retardant materials to facilitate the escape of personnel in emergency situations such as fire and explosion.

[0033] The spirally distributed slide net 26 guides people to slide down quickly and smoothly within the multiple outer nets 22 of the passage. The multiple slide nets 26 are set in opposite directions, so that people slide down the passage like walking up stairs, reducing the impact of people sliding down.

[0034] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, a reflective strip 27 is attached to the inner side of the connecting ring 21 to provide auxiliary lighting for personnel escape and facilitate personnel to slide down inside the outer net 22 of the passage, thereby improving escape efficiency and safety.

[0035] like Figures 2-7 As shown, vertical plates 42 are fixedly installed on the right side of both the front and rear sides of the oil platform body 1. Connecting rods 43 are fixedly installed between opposite sides of the vertical plates 42. The outer side of the connecting rods 43 is rotatably connected to the right end of the baffle 41.

[0036] Under the influence of gravity, the baffle 41 rotates around the connecting rod 43 to open the oil platform body 1, allowing the life raft 3 to be moved out of the inner cavity of the oil platform body 1, thereby quickly deploying the emergency escape passage 2 for easy evacuation of personnel on the platform.

[0037] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the front and rear sides of the left side of the oil platform body 1 are fixedly installed with slide rods 47 by screws. The front and rear inner cavities of the connecting plate 46 are slidably connected to the outer sides of the two slide rods 47 respectively. The inner cavity of the left side of the slide rod 47 is threadedly connected with a locking rod 48.

[0038] The slide bar 47 is configured to guide the left and right movement of the connecting plate 46, thereby ensuring its stability during movement.

[0039] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a housing 44 is fixedly installed on the left side of the bottom inner cavity of the oil platform body 1 by screws, and the housing 44 is located outside the electric actuator 49.

[0040] The outer casing 44 provides protection for the electric push rod 49, preventing damage to the electric push rod 49 when the emergency escape route 2 is stored in the life raft 3.

[0041] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During escape, the electric push rod 49 pushes the connecting plate 46 and the limiting seat 45 to slide on the slide rod 47, causing the slot 410 to separate from the baffle 41. This releases the limiting support of the limiting seat 45 on the baffle 41. Under the action of gravity, the baffle 41 rotates around the connecting rod 43, opening the oil platform body 1. This allows the life raft 3 to be moved out of the inner cavity of the oil platform body 1, quickly deploying the emergency escape passage 2. The life raft 3 opens when it lands on the sea surface, facilitating the evacuation of personnel on the platform. Personnel on the platform enter the outer net 22 of the passage through the escape entrance 24 and are guided quickly and smoothly by the spirally distributed slide net 26. Multiple external channels 22 slide down, and multiple reverse sliding nets 26 are set up, allowing people to slide down the channels like walking up stairs, reducing the impact of sliding down and enabling people to safely reach the life raft 3. The people who reach the life raft 3 first come out of the channels through the escape exit 25, find and open the escape equipment on the life raft 3. The lighting 5 and reflective strips 27 can provide illumination for the people on the life raft 3 at night or in low light conditions, making it easier for people to quickly find the life-saving equipment on the life raft 3, thereby improving escape efficiency and safety. In emergency situations such as fire and explosion, it can provide a fast and safe evacuation route for people on the platform.

[0042] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
