Description

A small emergency rescue boat Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of emergency rescue boat technology, and in particular to a small emergency rescue boat. Background Technology

[0002] A rescue boat is a small, motorized boat with good maneuverability, used for rescuing people in distress and assembling lifeboats and rafts at sea. To ensure safer and faster rescue of people in distress and assembly of lifeboats and rafts at sea, vessels must be equipped with rescue boats as required by regulations.

[0003] As illustrated in the reference case "A New Type of Rescue Boat" (publication number CN207997964U), when the boat capsizes, the pontoons in the water experience an upward vertical buoyancy, thus righting the boat. This eliminates the need for manual capsizing, saving significant rescue time. The pontoons contain a hollow, waterproof buoyancy cavity filled with lightweight, non-absorbent materials such as wood and foam. Because the filling prevents water from entering the pontoons, they can still function normally even if the rigid waterproof layer on the surface breaks.

[0004] According to the above reference materials, when the rigid waterproof layer on the surface of the float is broken, the waterproof buoyancy cavity is filled with lightweight materials such as wood and foam that do not absorb water, so water cannot enter the float even after the rigid waterproof layer is broken. The float can still be used normally when the rigid waterproof layer on the surface of the float is broken. However, when using this device on an emergency rescue boat, the float can easily increase the drag of the emergency rescue boat and increase the swaying caused by turbulent impact, making it inconvenient to use the emergency rescue boat smoothly and reducing the effectiveness of the emergency rescue boat. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a small emergency rescue boat to address the problem of the inconvenience of using emergency rescue boats smoothly.

[0006] The vessel includes a hull with a canopy at one top end; a support mechanism that improves the stability of the emergency rescue boat and allows for smooth operation; the support mechanism is located on the inner wall of the hull; wherein the support mechanism includes an array of floats evenly arranged and fixedly connected to both sides of the hull, with each set of floats consisting of two floats, one float having a fixed strap fixedly connected to its top end, the other end of which is fixedly connected to the hull, and the other float being located at the bottom end of the first float.

[0007] In one embodiment, the support mechanism further includes several first pontoons that are evenly arranged and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the roof, a second pontoon that is fixedly connected to the front end of the roof, and the other end of the second pontoon that is fixedly connected to the hull.

[0008] In one embodiment, a wedge-shaped block is fixedly connected to the top of the canopy.

[0009] In one embodiment, the wedge block is disposed on one side of the first buoy.

[0010] In one embodiment, counterweight boxes are fixedly connected to both ends of the inner wall of the ship, and the counterweight boxes are located in the middle of the inner wall of the ship.

[0011] In one embodiment, a water filling cover is provided on one side of the top of the counterweight box.

[0012] In one embodiment, a drain pipe is connected to the front end of the counterweight box, and a water valve is installed at one end of the drain pipe. Beneficial Effects

[0013] The aforementioned small emergency rescue boat features buoys on both sides of the hull that provide support and additional buoyancy, ensuring lateral balance and reducing the risk of roll. The securing straps reinforce the buoys, enhancing their usability. The buoys, in conjunction with two counterweight boxes at the center of the hull, distribute the boat's center of gravity, creating a "lighter at the top, heavier at the bottom" structure, which improves stability. The elliptical ends of the buoys smoothly separate water flow, reducing bow wave drag and shape drag, preventing eddy buildup, and further enhancing the boat's stability and rescue efficiency.

[0014] 1. When the emergency rescue boat is in use, the first float on the roof and the second float at the front of the roof form a triangle, which can automatically right the emergency rescue boat and prevent it from tilting during use. The wedge-shaped blocks can reduce the resistance on the roof and improve the stability of the emergency rescue boat.

[0015] 2. Two counterweight boxes are located at both ends of the middle of the hull. By opening the water inlet cap to replenish the water in the counterweight boxes, the weight of the counterweight boxes can be adjusted, and the center of gravity of the emergency rescue boat can be distributed. By opening the water valve and cooperating with the drain pipe to discharge water, the weight of the counterweight boxes can be reduced, which can keep the emergency rescue boat stable.

[0028] The small emergency rescue boat of this utility model is described below with reference to Figures 1-4.

[0029] In one embodiment, a small emergency rescue boat includes a hull 100, with a canopy 200 at one end of the top of the hull 100; a support mechanism 300, which enables the emergency rescue boat to be used smoothly and improves the stability of the emergency rescue boat, is disposed on the inner wall of the hull 100; wherein, the support mechanism 300 includes an array of floats 310 evenly arranged and fixedly connected to both sides of the hull 100, the number of floats 310 in an array is two, the top of one float 310 is fixedly connected to a fixing strap 320, the other end of the fixing strap 320 is fixedly connected to the hull 100, and the other float 310 is disposed at the bottom of one of the floats 310.

[0030] It should be noted that the emergency rescue boat consists of a hull, an inflation system, a canopy, a hull bottom, a balance bag, lifting straps, a safety rope, a passive sealing device, warning lights, a counterweight bag, an electric motor, and a rotating propeller. The inflation system first inflates the main air chamber, and after the main air chamber is full, it inflates the side floats and the bottom tank in sequence. Then the emergency rescue boat is lifted into the water. The manual operator is located at the stern to control the direction of power. The electric motor drives the rotating propeller to move the emergency rescue boat and can be used to rescue people. The floats 310 are installed on both sides of the hull 100 through the fixing straps 320 to increase the buoyancy on both sides of the hull 100. The counterweight box 360 can balance the center of the hull 100, forming a structure that is lighter at the top and heavier at the bottom, without affecting the normal use of the emergency rescue boat.

[0031] As shown in Figure 2, the support mechanism 300 also includes several first floats 330 that are evenly arranged and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the canopy 200. A second float 340 is fixedly connected to the front end of the canopy 200. The other end of the second float 340 is fixedly connected to the hull 100. A wedge block 350 is fixedly connected to the top of the canopy 200. The wedge block 350 is located on one side of the first floats 330.

[0032] In this embodiment, multiple floats 310 are evenly installed on both sides of the hull 100, which can provide additional buoyancy to the hull 100. The floats 310 are then reinforced by fixing straps 320. The floats 310 and the counterweight box 360 cooperate to distribute the center of gravity of the emergency rescue boat, which can improve the stability of the emergency rescue boat. The first float 330 on the canopy 200 and the second float 340 at the front end of the canopy 200 cooperate to automatically right the emergency rescue boat, prevent the emergency rescue boat from capsizing, and improve the use effect of the emergency rescue boat.

[0033] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a counterweight box 360 is fixedly connected to both ends of the inner wall of the hull 100. The counterweight box 360 is located in the middle of the inner wall of the hull 100. A water supply cover 370 is opened on one side of the top of the counterweight box 360. A drain pipe 380 is connected to the front end of the counterweight box 360. A water valve 390 is installed at one end of the drain pipe 380.

[0034] In this embodiment, by opening the water inlet cover 370 on the counterweight box 360, the weight of the counterweight box 360 can be adjusted. Then, by opening the water valve 390, the drain pipe 380 can discharge the water in the counterweight box 360, reducing the weight of the counterweight box 360, adjusting the center of gravity of the rescue boat, and cooperating with the float 310 to improve the stability of the rescue boat and prevent the rescue boat from tilting.

[0035] Working principle: The hull 100 provides additional buoyancy through multiple floats 310 on both sides in cooperation with the fixing belt 320. Manually opening the water inlet cover 370 adds water to the counterweight box 360, increasing the weight of the counterweight box 360. Manually opening the water valve 390 allows the drain pipe 380 to discharge the water in the counterweight box 360, reducing the weight of the counterweight box 360 and adjusting the center of gravity of the hull 100. The first float 330 on the roof 200 cooperates with the second float 340 between the front end of the roof 200 and the hull 100 to achieve self-righting.

[0036] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0037] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
