Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rescue equipment, and specifically relates to a drone for drowning rescue. Background Technology
[0002] Although lifebuoys are currently placed along the shore of most waterways, their deployment distance is limited. When the drowning location is far from the shore, it is impossible to quickly deploy the lifebuoy to the drowning person, thus affecting the rescue speed. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a drone for drowning rescue to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] This utility model is a drone for drowning rescue, including a drone host, with multiple extendable arms fixedly installed on the outer ring of the drone host, and a motor fixedly installed at the end of each extendable arm, with a rotor installed at the top of the motor.
[0006] An electric gripper is installed at the bottom of the extension arm, and an air cylinder is clamped on the electric gripper. An air nozzle is provided at one end of the air cylinder, and a folded inflatable life ring is connected to one end of the air nozzle. A trigger valve is installed on the air nozzle, and the trigger valve can be automatically triggered to open when the air cylinder is detached from under the extension arm, so that the compressed gas in the air cylinder can be delivered into the inflatable life ring.
[0007] Furthermore, a loudspeaker is fixedly installed on the top surface of the drone host, and a camera is installed on the bottom surface of the drone host.
[0008] Furthermore, a parking bracket is fixedly installed below the outer end of the extendable arm.
[0009] Furthermore, a telescopic valve stem is installed at the top of the trigger valve, the bottom end of the valve stem is fixedly connected to the valve core inside the trigger valve, a top plate is fixedly installed at the top of the valve stem, and a spring is fitted around the outer ring of the valve stem, which abuts against the bottom surface of the top plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the air nozzle is also equipped with a manual valve.
[0011] Furthermore, the inflatable life ring is rolled up and folded, and then secured with Velcro.
[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. In this utility model, a lifebuoy is installed on the drone. When a drowning occurs in a water area, the lifebuoy can be quickly transported and deployed to the vicinity of the drowning person by the drone, thereby increasing the delivery speed of the lifebuoy and thus increasing the survival rate of the drowning person.
[0014] 2. In this utility model, the lifebuoy is an inflatable lifebuoy, which can be folded and placed under the drone, thereby reducing the size of the lifebuoy and ensuring that it does not affect the normal flight of the drone. When the drone flies to the location of the drowning person and drops the lifebuoy and air cylinder downwards, the trigger valve on the air cylinder nozzle can be automatically triggered to open, so that the compressed gas in the air cylinder can be delivered to the inflatable lifebuoy, thereby inflating the lifebuoy and making it float on the water surface for the drowning person to use.
[0015] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the utility model embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model is a drone for drowning rescue, including a drone host 1. Multiple extendable arms 2 are fixedly installed on the outer ring of the drone host 1. A motor 3 is fixedly installed at the end of each extendable arm 2. A rotor 4 is driven to the top of the motor 3. An electric gripper 8 is installed at the bottom of the extendable arm 2. An air cylinder 9 is clamped on the electric gripper 8. An air nozzle 7 is provided at one end of the air cylinder 9. A folded inflatable life ring 10 is connected to one end of the air nozzle 7. A trigger valve 13 is installed on the air nozzle 7. The trigger valve 13 can be automatically triggered to open when the air cylinder 9 is detached from under the extendable arm 2, so that the compressed gas in the air cylinder 9 can be delivered into the inflatable life ring 10.
[0023] The system is equipped with a motor 3 that drives the rotor 4 to rotate, which in turn propels the drone into flight. When a drowning rescue is needed, the rescuer controls the drone to fly quickly toward the drowning victim's location using the control handle. Once the drone reaches the victim's location, the electric gripper 8 is activated, and the gas cylinder 9 and the inflatable life ring 10 are dropped onto the drowning victim's location. At the same time, the trigger valve 13 is automatically activated, allowing the compressed gas in the gas cylinder 9 to be delivered into the inflatable life ring 10, which then inflates and floats on the water surface for the drowning victim to use.
[0024] Specifically, a loudspeaker 5 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the drone host 1, and a camera 6 is installed on the bottom surface of the drone host 1. During rescue, the loudspeaker 5 can play voice messages to guide and comfort the drowning person, thereby improving the rescue effect. The camera 6 can capture and locate the drowning person, making it easier to understand the situation and specific location of the drowning person, thus facilitating the precise positioning and deployment of the lifebuoy.
[0025] Specifically, a parking bracket 11 is fixedly installed below the outer end of the extendable arm 2. The parking bracket 11 can provide auxiliary support when the drone lands, thereby improving the stability of the drone during landing.
[0026] Specifically, a telescopic valve stem 15 is installed at the top of the trigger valve 13, the bottom end of the valve stem 15 is fixedly connected to the valve core inside the trigger valve 13, a top plate 14 is fixedly installed at the top of the valve stem 15, and a spring 16 is fitted on the outer ring of the valve stem 15 and abuts against the bottom surface of the top plate 14.
[0027] Initially, the top plate 14 abuts against the bottom surface of the extension arm 2, so that the valve inside the trigger valve 13 is in the abutting closed state, and the spring 16 is in the abutting compressed state. When the electric gripper 8 opens to drop the gas cylinder 9 and the inflatable life ring 10 downwards, the top plate 14 separates from the extension arm 2. At this time, the top plate 14 moves upward under the elastic force of the spring 16, and drives the valve stem 15 and the valve core to move upward, opening the trigger valve 13. At this time, the compressed gas in the gas cylinder 9 is delivered to the inflatable life ring 10 through the trigger valve 13 and the air nozzle 7. The opening and closing control of the trigger valve 13 by the spring 16 and the top plate 14 makes it easier to open the valve, thus facilitating the rapid inflation and use of the inflatable life ring 10 when it is deployed.
[0028] Specifically, the nozzle 7 is also equipped with a manual valve 12. When the gas cylinder 9 is not installed on the drone, the manual valve 12 is in the closed state, thereby sealing the nozzle 7 and preventing gas leakage from the gas cylinder 9. When the gas cylinder 9 is installed on the drone and the trigger valve 13 is closed by abutment, the manual valve 12 is opened, so that the manual valve 12 is in the normally open state.
[0029] Specifically, the inflatable lifebuoy 10 is folded and secured with Velcro. The Velcro secures the folded inflatable lifebuoy 10, keeping it in a folded state for easy delivery and deployment. When the inflatable lifebuoy 10 is inflated, the expansion of the inflatable lifebuoy 10 stretches the Velcro, allowing it to fully expand and unfold.
[0030] The preferred embodiments of the utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of the utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize the utility model.
