[0025] Example 1:

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides an integrated marine life rescue capsule, including a backpack 1 and a folding airbag 2. The backpack 1 is composed of a rear base fabric 4 and a front base fabric 3 connected together. The bottom of the front base fabric 3 is connected to the bottom of the rear base fabric 4. The sides and top of the front base fabric 3 and the rear base fabric 4 are connected by a first zipper 5. The rear base fabric 4 is provided with double shoulder straps 41. A compressed air tank 6 with a valve is installed on the side of the rear base fabric 4. The folding airbag 2 is connected to the rear base fabric 4. The folding airbag 2 is provided with a connecting component 7. The compressed air tank 6 is connected to the folding airbag 2 through the connecting component 7. After the folding airbag 2 expands, it forms a capsule 8 that wraps around the front base fabric 3 and the rear base fabric 4. The front end of the capsule 8 is provided with an opening 81. A transparent film 82 is provided at the opening 81 to seal the opening 81. One end of the transparent film 82 is connected to the opening 81. A second zipper 83 is provided around the transparent film 82 to connect the periphery of the opening 81.

[0027] In use, the backpack 1 is opened via the first zipper 5, disconnecting the front and rear base fabrics 3 and their sides and top. Under gravity, the front base fabric 3 folds down, causing the folded airbag 2 inside the backpack 1 to drop downwards. Then, the valve on the compressed air tank 6 is opened, automatically inflating the folded airbag 2. The folded airbag 2 expands outwards, forming a cabin structure 8 that encloses the front and rear base fabrics 3 and 4. A transparent membrane 82 for sealing the opening 81 is connected to the front opening 81 via a second zipper 83. The opening 81 can be opened and sealed as needed. This structure allows for inflation in emergencies, forming a cabin structure 8 that floats on water. When not in use, the entire folded airbag 2 is folded and stored in the backpack 1 for easy carrying and personal emergency use, offering good safety performance. One end of the transparent membrane 82 is connected to the opening 81, while other parts of the transparent membrane 82 are connected to the opening 81 via the second zipper 83. The first zipper 5 and the second zipper 83 can be single-headed or double-headed waterproof zippers. Single-headed and double-headed waterproof zippers are well-known technologies in the field and will not be described in detail here. The folding airbag 2 of this application is made of TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) material, which has high strength, high toughness, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and good waterproof performance. After the folding airbag 2 inflates into the cabin 8, the front base fabric 3 is located at the user's legs, while the rear base fabric 4 remains at the user's back.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] Reference Figure 1 In conjunction with the technical solution of Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, compressed air tanks 6 are installed on both sides of the back fabric 4, and communication components 7 for communicating with the compressed air tanks 6 are provided on both sides of the folding airbag 2.

[0030] The folding airbag 2 can be inflated simultaneously by two compressed air tanks 6, achieving rapid inflation.

[0031] Example 3:

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In conjunction with the technical solutions of Embodiments 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the connecting component 7 includes a connecting pipe 71, an air supply pipe 72, and an exhaust pipe 73. The air supply pipe 72 and the exhaust pipe 73 are respectively connected to the connecting pipe 71, and a reversing valve 711 is provided at the connection of the three pipes. A one-way valve 721 is provided on the air supply pipe 72, and the air supply pipe 72 is connected to the compressed air tank 6.

[0033] The reversing valve 711 adjusts the connectivity between the connecting pipe 71 and the air supply pipe 72, as well as between the connecting pipe 71 and the exhaust pipe 73. When the folding airbag 2 needs to be inflated, the valve on the compressed air tank 6 is opened, and the reversing valve 711 is operated to connect the connecting pipe 71 and the air supply pipe 72, while the exhaust pipe 73 is closed. The compressed air tank 6 inflates the folding airbag 2 through the air supply pipe 72 and the connecting pipe 71, causing the folding airbag 2 to expand and form the cabin structure 8. When the cabin 8 needs to be recovered, the reversing valve 711 is operated to connect the connecting pipe 71 and the exhaust pipe 73, while the air supply pipe 72 is closed. Squeezing the folding airbag 2 then performs the deflation operation, and the deflated folding airbag 2 can be folded back. The one-way valve 721 at the air supply pipe 72 is only used to allow the gas in the air supply pipe 72 to flow to the connecting pipe 71, which can effectively prevent gas backflow during inflation and facilitate the normal operation of the inflation process.

[0034] Specifically, the compressed air tank 6 is provided with an air outlet pipe 61, and a threaded union 10 is rotatably provided on the air outlet pipe 61. The air supply pipe 72 is provided with an external thread for the threaded union 10 to be threaded.

[0035] Specifically, the backpack 1 contains an air pump 9, and the air pump 9 has an air pump tube 91 connected to its outlet. The air pump tube 91 is rotatably fitted with a threaded union 10 that mates with an external thread.

[0036] Using a threaded union 10 to connect pipelines is a conventional technique in the prior art, and will not be elaborated upon in this application. In order to improve the sealing performance of the pipeline, the threaded union 10 is used in conjunction with a rubber gasket to improve the sealing performance of the pipeline connection.

[0037] Specifically, both sides of the back fabric 4 are provided with receiving bags 42 for holding compressed air tanks 6. By providing receiving bags 42 for holding compressed air tanks 6 on both sides of the back fabric 4, two compressed air tanks 6 can be placed, and when one compressed air tank 6 is in use, the other compressed air tank 6 serves as a spare. The receiving bags 42 can be designed as elastic mesh bags.

[0038] Example 4:

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In conjunction with the technical solutions of embodiments 1-3, in this embodiment, the zipper head of the second zipper 83 is located inside the cabin 8.

[0040] By setting the zipper head of the second zipper 83 inside the cabin 8, it is easy to pull the zipper head of the second zipper 83 from inside the cabin 8 to open and close the transparent film 82.

[0041] Specifically, a microporous waterproof and breathable membrane 821 is provided on the transparent membrane 82. The microporous waterproof and breathable membrane 821 can be made of PE polymer breathable membrane (the middle layer is a PE breathable membrane, and the two sides are PP spunbond nonwoven fabric reinforcement layers. By adding inorganic materials such as calcium carbonate, micropores are formed through stretching to achieve waterproof and breathable properties), ePTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, which is formed by stretching PTFE powder to achieve a microporous structure to achieve waterproof and breathable properties), or TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane, which combines the elasticity of rubber and the processability of plastic, and the microporous structure balances waterproof and breathable properties).

[0042] The second zipper 83 may employ a double zipper head structure. Double zipper heads are conventional prior art and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0043] Example 5:

[0044] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 In conjunction with the technical solutions of embodiments 1-4, in this embodiment, the folded airbag 2 has a double-layer structure, and the interlayer of the folded airbag 2 is filled with an aerogel composite material layer 21 for heat insulation.

[0045] The airbag has a double-layer TPU structure. The inner side of the inner TPU layer is an inflation chamber, and the space between the inner and outer TPU layers is made of aerogel composite material with low thermal conductivity. The thermal insulation effect is achieved by utilizing the low thermal conductivity of the aerogel composite material.

[0046] Example 6:

[0047] In conjunction with the technical solutions of embodiments 1-5, in this embodiment, backpack 1 contains a water storage bag, a first aid kit, a power supply, a positioning module, a signal module, communication equipment, and a small hand-cranked generator.

[0048] The power supply can be used to power various electrical devices, and a small hand-cranked generator can be used to charge the power supply or directly power other electrical devices. People in distress can send distress signals to the rescue center via communication devices (such as satellite phones), and rescuers can determine the location of those in distress using positioning modules (such as GPS locators), facilitating search and rescue operations.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and does not constitute any limitation on this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the technical solution of this utility model, or modify it into equivalent embodiments, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
