[0030] Example 1

[0031] This embodiment 1 provides a buoyancy device for lifesaving in a water tank, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, the specific structure is described below.

[0032] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the water pool rescue buoyancy device of this utility model embodiment mainly consists of four parts: a starting mechanism 1, a buoyancy mechanism 2, an inflation mechanism 3, and a rope net 4. The starting mechanism 1 is used to control the inflation mechanism 3, the inflation mechanism 3 is used to inflate the buoyancy mechanism 2, and the buoyancy mechanism 2 is used to drive the rope net 4 to float up after it expands. The rope net 4 is used to retrieve drowning people.

[0033] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the buoyancy mechanism 2 includes a housing 201 and a float 202. The housing 201 is made of plastic and is divided into an upper housing 2011 and a lower housing 2012, both of which are cuboid in shape. Aligned connecting holes 2014 are provided on the upper housing 2011 and the lower housing 2012, and connecting bolts are inserted into the connecting holes 2014 to securely fix the upper housing 2011 and the lower housing 2012.

[0034] Combination Figure 3 As shown, a cuboid-shaped groove is formed at the center of the top of the shell 201. The float 202 is folded and placed inside the groove. An air passage is formed on the right side wall of the groove. The left end of the air passage is the air outlet, and the float 202 is connected to the air outlet. The right end of the air passage is the air inlet.

[0035] The float 202 is made of high-strength, high-pressure resistant rubber material as the inner lining, and the outer surface of the inner lining is lined with nylon material. This ensures the airtightness of the float 202 while also being able to withstand the impact force during rapid inflation. The float 202 can be rolled up and folded into a cylindrical shape and stored in the groove of the shell 201. After inflation, its volume expands rapidly, providing sufficient buoyancy.

[0036] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the inflation mechanism 3 includes a housing 301, which can also be made of plastic, offering a long service life. A sealed chamber 3011 is formed inside the housing 301, containing a gas cylinder 302 and a firing mechanism 5. The gas cylinder 302 stores compressed carbon dioxide gas. Carbon dioxide is readily available, inexpensive, and physically and chemically stable; its release into the pool will not pollute the water.

[0037] Furthermore, in combination Figure 2As shown, the outer casing 301 is connected to a fixing strap 6, which is made of nylon and is used to bind the gas storage cylinder 302 to restrict its position. The sealed chamber 3011 is connected to a guide tube 3012, which is inserted into and connected to one end of the air inlet of the buoyancy mechanism 2.

[0038] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the firing mechanism 5 includes a storage spring 501, a firing pin 502, a push-pull electromagnet 503, and a claw hook 504. One end of the storage spring 501 is connected to the outer casing 301, and the other end is connected to the firing pin 502. The firing pin 502 is made of hard alloy material, with a sharp tip, and is aligned with the sealing portion of the gas cylinder 302. The push-pull electromagnet 503 is mounted on the outer casing 301 and is connected to the claw hook 504. The claw hook 504 is inserted into the compressed storage spring 501 to lock the compressed state of the storage spring 501.

[0039] It should be noted that the outer casing 301 has a waterproof battery slot, which contains a battery used to power the push-pull electromagnet 503.

[0040] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 6 As shown, the starting mechanism 1 includes a switch 101, which has a start button 102 and a ribbon cable 103. The start button 102 is waterproof and has a non-slip texture on its surface for easy operation. The ribbon cable 103 is a waterproof cable that connects the start button 102 to the push-pull electromagnet 503 to control the push-pull electromagnet 503.

[0041] Rope Net 4 is woven from high-strength nylon rope to form a mesh. The shape and size of the mesh can be customized according to the shape and size of the bottom of different indoor diving pools. Rope Net 4 has good flexibility and tensile strength.

[0042] A clamping groove 2013 is provided between the upper half shell 2011 and the lower half shell 2012 of the shell 201 for clamping and fixing. During installation, the rope net 4 is located in the clamping groove 2013 and is clamped by the shell 201. The outer shell 301 can also be divided into upper and lower halves, and is provided with clamping holes 3013 for clamping the rope net 4, so that it is not easy to fall off when fixed on the rope net 4.

[0043] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer casing 301 has four horizontal through countersunk holes, and the outer casing 201 has corresponding screw holes. Connecting screws 7 are inserted into the four countersunk holes, and the connecting screws 7 are inserted into the screw holes of the outer casing 201. Tightening the connecting screws 7 makes the outer casing 301 and the outer casing 201 tightly connected.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] This embodiment provides an indoor diving pool, including a diving pool body, and the water rescue buoyancy device of Embodiment 1 is installed in the diving pool body.

[0046] The working principle of this utility model's water tank rescue buoyancy device and indoor diving pool is as follows:

[0047] When a drowning person is discovered during operation, the operator presses the start button 102. The start button 102 sends an electrical signal to the push-pull electromagnet 503 via the cable 103. The electromagnet 503 is energized, pulling the claw hook 504, causing it to disengage from the compressed energy storage spring 501. The energy storage spring 501 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the firing pin 502 to rapidly strike the sealing part of the gas cylinder 302, breaking the seal. The compressed carbon dioxide gas inside the gas cylinder 302 enters the air passage of the buoyancy mechanism 2 through the guide tube 3012, and then enters the float 202, causing it to rapidly inflate. The buoyancy generated by the float 202 is transmitted to the drowning person through the rope net 4, quickly lifting them to the surface, facilitating subsequent rescue by lifeguards.

[0048] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
