Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water rescue technology, and in particular to a remote-controlled unmanned rescue boat. Background Technology
[0002] In various water-related emergencies, such as drowning accidents, water traffic collisions, and people falling into the water at flood sites, timely, efficient, and safe rescue operations are crucial to ensuring the safety of lives. Currently, common water rescue methods rely heavily on manual rowing, inflatable boats, and throwing lifebuoys, typically requiring rescuers to navigate the boat close to the person in the water to carry out the rescue.
[0003] However, in situations with large waves, rapid currents, limited water areas, or when the person in the water is far away, traditional rescue methods often suffer from many problems such as slow response time, difficulty in approaching, high rescue risk, and low success rate, and may even endanger the safety of the rescuers themselves. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to address the numerous problems that traditional rescue methods often suffer from, such as slow response speed, difficulty in approaching, high rescue risk, and low success rate, and may even endanger the safety of the rescuers themselves, in situations where there are large waves, rapid currents, limited water areas, or the location of the person who has fallen into the water is far away. To provide a remote-controlled unmanned rescue boat, the boat includes: a remote-controlled boat with a camera mounted on its top; and a rescue control mechanism located on the outside of the remote-controlled boat to facilitate rescue operations. The rescue control mechanism includes rescue buoys located on both sides of the remote-controlled boat, with rescue components mounted on the outside of each buoy, and a cleaning component mounted on the outside of the camera.
[0005] The rescue assembly includes multiple connecting rods fixedly installed on both sides of the remotely operated boat. Two rescue buoys are located on one side of the multiple connecting rods on both sides. Multiple connecting rings are fixedly installed on one side of each rescue buoy, and each of the multiple connecting rings is slidably connected to the corresponding connecting rod.
[0006] An electric airbag is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the connecting rod, and the connecting ring is located at the top of the electric airbag.
[0007] Both sides of the remote-controlled boat are fixedly equipped with unwinding machines, and a rotating ring is rotatably installed on the surface of the rescue buoy. The rotating ring is fixedly connected to the unwinding machine by a steel wire rope.
[0008] Both sides of the rescue buoy are cone-shaped, and multiple pull rings are fixedly installed on the surface of the rescue buoy.
[0009] The surface of the rescue buoy is provided with multiple water channels, which are arranged in a circular pattern.
[0010] The cleaning assembly includes a rotary motor fixedly mounted on the surface of the remote-controlled boat, and an observation cover is provided on the outside of the camera, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor.
[0011] A guide plate is provided on the outside of the rotary motor. The outer side of the guide plate is set as an inclined surface. The guide plate is fixedly connected to the remote-controlled boat. Beneficial effects
[0012] The aforementioned remote-controlled unmanned rescue boat.
[0013] 1. During the rescue, the remote-controlled boat, carrying a rescue buoy, approaches the person in distress. The buoy is quickly released via a rescue assembly, allowing it to float independently on the water, providing a handhold or support for the person in the water, reducing the difficulty of boarding the boat. A camera captures image information and transmits it back to the control unit to assist navigation and positioning. A cleaning component is located on the outside of the camera to remove water droplets or impurities in real time, maintaining a clear image and preventing obstruction of the view.
[0014] 2. When the remote-controlled boat starts sailing, the rotating motor starts at high speed, driving the fixedly connected observation hood to rotate at high speed and swing water droplets to prevent water or impurities from adhering to the surface of the observation hood, thereby avoiding obstruction or blurring of the camera's field of view. It can continuously cope with the impact of large-area splashing water flow, and is especially suitable for use in environments with high-speed sailing, large waves or frequent splashing.

[0027] The following is combined Figures 1-4 This invention describes a remote-controlled unmanned rescue boat.
[0028] In one embodiment, a remote-controlled unmanned rescue boat includes: a remote-controlled boat 100, with a camera 200 mounted on the top of the boat; and a rescue control mechanism 300, which is disposed on the outside of the remote-controlled boat 100 to facilitate rescue operations. The rescue control mechanism 300 includes rescue pontoons 310 disposed on both sides of the boat 100, with rescue components 320 disposed on the outside of each of the two pontoons 310, and a cleaning component 330 disposed on the outside of the camera 200.
[0029] In this embodiment, during rescue, a remotely controlled boat 100 can carry a rescue buoy 310 to approach the person in distress. The buoy 310 is released via a rescue component 320, allowing for rapid separation from the remotely controlled boat 100. The rescue buoy 310 can float independently on the water surface, providing a handhold, support, or cushioning for the person in the water, reducing the difficulty of boarding the boat. The camera 200 is used to collect water surface image information and transmit it back to the control terminal, assisting the operator in remote navigation and target identification. The cleaning component 330 is located on the outside of the camera 200 and is used to remove water droplets, foam, or dirt in real time, maintaining the image clarity of the camera 200 and preventing obstruction of the field of view from affecting image recognition.
[0030] It should be noted that existing unmanned rescue boats typically include basic components such as a hull structure for surface navigation, a propulsion system, a remote control communication module, and a camera system. The rescue buoys 310 are located on both sides of the remote-controlled boat 100 and are fixed to the hull when not performing rescue operations, without affecting the normal propulsion and steering of the remote-controlled boat 100. The release operation is controlled by the rescue component 320, which is structurally stable, safe, and reliable. The cleaning component 330 is located outside the camera 200, occupies little space, does not affect the field of view and transmission performance of the camera 200, and its operation is independent of the navigation and control system, without interfering with the navigation control of the remote-controlled boat 100.
[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the rescue assembly 320 includes multiple connecting rods 321 fixedly installed on both sides of the remote-controlled boat 100. Two rescue buoys 310 are respectively located on one side of the multiple connecting rods 321 on both sides. Multiple connecting rings 323 are fixedly installed on one side of the rescue buoys 310, and the multiple connecting rings 323 are slidably connected to the corresponding connecting rods 321.
[0032] In this embodiment, during the rescue process, the connecting ring 323 can be released to achieve rapid descent, enabling the remote-controlled boat 100 to be released at a fixed point near the person in distress, thereby improving the delivery accuracy and response speed of the rescue buoy 310.
[0033] An electric airbag 324 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the connecting rod 321, and a connecting ring 323 is located at the top of the electric airbag 324.
[0034] In this embodiment, in the non-released state, the electric airbag 324 inflates to support and limit the connecting ring 323, so that the rescue float 310 is stably attached to the side of the remote-controlled boat 100. When the rescue float 310 needs to be released to perform a rescue mission, the electric airbag 324 is deflated by controlling the electric airbag 324. The electric airbag 324 quickly contracts and loses support for the connecting ring 323, so that the connecting ring 323 slides down under the action of gravity, which drives the rescue float 310 to quickly detach from the remote-controlled boat 100 and be put into the water.
[0035] It should be noted that the electric airbag 324 is a miniature inflation / deflation device located at the bottom of the connecting rod 321. It is used to control the limiting and release states of the connecting ring 323 under remote control, thereby realizing the switching of mounting and deployment of the rescue float 310. The electric airbag 324 is typically composed of a rubber elastic airbag body, a miniature inflation pump, an electronic solenoid valve, control wires and a power supply module. Its top abuts against the connecting ring 323, and its bottom connects to the connecting rod 321 to form a force-bearing support interface.
[0036] Both sides of the remote-controlled boat 100 are fixedly equipped with unwinding machines 326, and the surface of the rescue buoy 310 is rotatably equipped with a rotating ring 327. The rotating ring 327 and the unwinding machine 326 are fixedly connected by a steel wire rope.
[0037] In this embodiment, after the rescue buoy 310 is released into the water, it is flexibly connected to the rotating ring 327 via a steel wire rope. When the person being rescued climbs onto or grabs the rescue buoy 310, the operator can remotely control the unwinding machine 326 to perform a winding operation, thereby pulling the rescue buoy 310 and the person being rescued toward the remote-controlled boat 100, and finally bringing them back to a safe area or close to the shore receiving platform, thus achieving remote recovery and escape.
[0038] It should be noted that the basic structure of the unwinding machine 326 typically includes a drum body, a micro motor, a braking assembly, a guide wheel, a wire rope, and a housing mounting base. The drum is used to wind and unwind the wire rope, the motor is used to drive the drum to rotate, and the braking assembly is used to control the dynamic stability of the wire rope during tensioning and unwinding.
[0039] Both sides of the rescue buoy 310 are cone-shaped, and multiple pull rings 325 are fixedly installed on the surface of the rescue buoy 310.
[0040] In this embodiment, both sides of the rescue float 310 are designed with a conical shape, which gives the rescue float 310 a good streamlined shape in the water, reducing water flow resistance. The pull ring 325 makes it easy for the person who has fallen into the water to quickly grab or attach to it, which is suitable for improving the success rate of contact in complex conditions such as rapid water flow or loss of balance.
[0041] The surface of the rescue pontoon 310 is provided with multiple water channels 322, which are arranged in a circular pattern.
[0042] In this embodiment, multiple water channels 322 are arranged in a circular pattern along the outer wall of the float to guide the water to flow rapidly after the rescue float 310 contacts the water surface, thereby reducing water flow resistance.
[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning component 330 includes a rotary motor 331 fixedly mounted on the surface of the remote-controlled boat 100, and an observation cover 332 is provided on the outside of the camera 200. The observation cover 332 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor 331.
[0044] In this embodiment, when the remote-controlled boat 100 starts sailing, the rotary motor 331 starts at high speed, driving the fixedly connected observation hood 332 to swing water droplets at high speed, preventing water or impurities from adhering to the surface of the observation hood 332, thereby avoiding obstruction or blurring of the camera 200's field of view, and can continuously cope with the impact of large-area splashing water flow, especially suitable for use environments with high-speed sailing, large water waves or frequent splashing.
[0045] It should be noted that the observation cover 332 should be made of high-transparency polycarbonate or aerospace-grade acrylic material, which has good optical transmittance and impact resistance, can maintain structural stability and not deform during high-speed rotation, and is also wear-resistant and scratch-resistant.
[0046] A guide plate 333 is provided on the outside of the rotary motor 331. The outer side of the guide plate 333 is all set as an inclined surface. The guide plate 333 is fixedly connected to the remote control boat 100.
[0047] In this embodiment, the guide plate 333 is mainly used to quickly guide the water droplets or impurities that are thrown off by the rotating observation hood 332, so that they are discharged from the surface of the hull in a specific direction.
[0048] Working Principle: During operation, the remote-controlled boat 100 receives commands from the control terminal and navigates within the target waters. It uses a camera 200 to capture surrounding images and transmits them back in real time, assisting the operator in determining the path and locating the distressed target. An observation hood 332 is mounted on the outside of the camera 200. Driven by a rotary motor 331, the hood rotates at high speed, using centrifugal force to dislodge attached water droplets or impurities. During this dislodgement, a guide plate 333 guides the water droplets out, preventing them from falling back and obstructing the view, ensuring the camera 200's imaging area remains clear. When the remote-controlled boat 100 approaches the person in distress, the rescue mechanism 300 is activated, releasing rescue buoys 310 mounted on both sides of the boat 100. The rescue buoys 310 are slidably connected to corresponding connecting rods 321 via multiple connecting rings 323. An electric airbag 324 is mounted at the bottom of each connecting rod 321 to support the connecting rings 323. Upon receiving the release command, the electric airbag 324 deflates and contracts, causing the connecting ring 323 to slip off its support and slide down naturally, propelling the rescue float 310 to the water surface. Once in the water, the rescue float 310 floats stably thanks to its conical structures on both sides. Multiple pull rings 325 on its surface facilitate gripping or hooking by the person in the water. Multiple water channels 322 are arranged in a circular pattern to guide the water flow for rapid dispersion, reduce water pressure disturbance, and enhance buoyancy. Once the person in the water grabs the rescue float 310, the unwinding machines 326 on both sides of the remote-controlled boat 100 activate, pulling the steel cable connected to the rotating ring 327 to rewind, achieving remote retrieval of the rescue float 310 and the person in the water, bringing them away from the danger zone.
[0049] It should be noted that the remote-controlled boat, electric airbag, and unwinding machine mentioned above are all devices with relatively mature existing technologies. Specific models can be selected according to actual needs. At the same time, the remote-controlled boat, electric airbag, and unwinding machine can be powered by built-in power supply or by mains power. The specific power supply method should be selected according to the situation, and will not be elaborated here.
[0050] 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.
[0051] 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.
