Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary suspension armor technology, specifically to object-assisted suspension armor. Background Technology

[0002] Object-assisted levitation refers to the use of certain technologies and methods to keep an object suspended in the air or water without physical contact support. This technology is widely used in many fields, including but not limited to transportation, scientific research, and entertainment displays. Passenger cars are equipped with airbags to protect the driver or passengers and reduce injury in the event of a collision.

[0003] For example, inflatable air cushions for fire rescue are used to rescue people jumping from heights and reduce impact injuries; inflatable escape slides are used for emergency evacuation from high-rise buildings or ships; some vehicles are equipped with multiple sets of thrusters around their sides, and when the vehicle is detected to be in water, the thrusters help adjust the vehicle's posture and escape by adjusting its direction angle; and inflatable life rings or foam life rings are used to prevent people from drowning when swimming.

[0004] Currently, when a car or other object accidentally falls into water or is accidentally immersed in a liquid environment, there is no mature real-time protection system to provide buoyancy protection. If a car or other object accidentally falls into water, it will automatically sink, causing personal injury or property damage. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides an object-assisted suspension armor, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides an object-assisted suspension armor, including an airbag shell. A central controller is fixed to the lower part of the middle of one side of the airbag shell. A second gas generator, a first gas generator, a first position sensor, a second position sensor, a first attitude sensor, and a second attitude sensor are fixed to the side of the airbag shell near the central controller. A wiring harness is electrically connected to one side of each of the second gas generator, the first gas generator, the first position sensor, the second position sensor, the first attitude sensor, and the second attitude sensor. The other ends of the multiple wiring harnesses are electrically connected to the central controller. A first airbag and a second airbag are respectively provided on both sides of the airbag shell.

[0008] Furthermore, the second gas generator and the first gas generator, the first position sensor and the second position sensor, the first attitude sensor and the second attitude sensor are all located on the same side of the airbag housing.

[0009] Furthermore, a first mechanical connection and a second mechanical connection are respectively provided on both sides of the airbag shell, and the first airbag and the second airbag are connected to the airbag shell through the first mechanical connection and the second mechanical connection, respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, a power source is fixed in the middle of the bottom of the airbag housing near the central controller. The power source is located directly above the central controller, and the central controller and the power source are electrically connected via a wiring harness.

[0011] Furthermore, a second inflation tube is sealed and connected through one side of the second gas generator, and the other end of the second inflation tube is sealed and connected to the bottom of one side of the second airbag.

[0012] Furthermore, a first inflation tube is sealed and connected through one side of the first gas generator, and the other end of the first inflation tube is sealed and connected to the bottom of one side of the first airbag.

[0013] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the known prior art:

[0014] This application involves installing the airbag shell on the outside of the protected object and connecting it to the power supply. The power supply provides power to the central controller and various components. Under normal conditions, it does not significantly affect the external parameters of the object. When the protected object is accidentally immersed in a liquid environment to a certain extent, the central controller activates and uses the airbag inflation principle to provide additional buoyancy to the protected object, thereby reducing or mitigating the damage to the protected object from the external environment and creating favorable conditions for subsequent search and rescue.

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0023] This application discloses an object-assisted levitation armor, including an airbag shell 16. A central controller 1 is fixed to the lower part of the middle of one side of the airbag shell 16. A second gas generator 2, a first gas generator 3, a first position sensor 8, a second position sensor 9, a first attitude sensor 10, and a second attitude sensor 11 are fixed to the side of the airbag shell 16 near the central controller 1. A wiring harness 12 is electrically connected to one side of each of the second gas generator 2, the first gas generator 3, the first position sensor 8, the second position sensor 9, the first attitude sensor 10, and the second attitude sensor 11. The other ends of the multiple wiring harnesses 12 are electrically connected to the central controller 1. A first airbag 4 and a second airbag 5 are respectively provided on both sides of the airbag shell 16. When working, the first airbag 4 and the second airbag 5 expand to increase the volume, and have a certain buoyancy in water.

[0024] Reference Appendix Figure 2The second gas generator 2, the first gas generator 3, the first position sensor 8, the second position sensor 9, the first attitude sensor 10, and the second attitude sensor 11 are all located on the same side of the airbag housing 1. The second gas generator 2 is connected to a second inflation tube 6 through and sealed on one side, and the other end of the second inflation tube 6 is connected to the bottom of the second airbag 5 through and sealed on one side. The first gas generator 3 is connected to a first inflation tube 7 through and sealed on one side, and the other end of the first inflation tube 7 is connected to the bottom of the first airbag 4 through and sealed on one side. During operation, the first position sensor 8, the second position sensor 9, the first attitude sensor 10, and the second attitude sensor 11 continuously feed back the position and attitude information of the protected object to the central controller 1. The central controller 1 judges the collected information. When the information exceeds the intervention value of the central controller 1, the central controller 1 simultaneously controls the first gas generator 3 and the second gas generator 2 to work, and quickly generate airflows that enter the first airbag 4 and the second airbag 5 from the first inflation tube 7 and the second inflation tube 6, respectively.

[0025] Reference Appendix Figure 3 The airbag shell 16 has a first mechanical connection 13 and a second mechanical connection 14 on both sides. The first airbag 4 and the second airbag 5 are connected to the airbag shell 16 through the first mechanical connection 13 and the second mechanical connection 14, respectively. After inflation, the second airbag 5 and the first airbag 4 have a certain buoyancy. This buoyancy is transmitted to the airbag shell 16 through the first mechanical connection 13 and the second mechanical connection 14 between the airbag and the object, and then to the protected object through the airbag shell 16.

[0026] Reference Appendix Figure 1 The airbag housing 16 has a power supply 15 fixed in the middle of the bottom of the side near the central controller 1. The power supply 15 is located directly above the central controller 1. The central controller 1 and the power supply 15 are electrically connected through the wiring harness 12. The power supply 15 can be an external power source. If the object to be protected has a power output device inside, the wiring harness 12 on the top of the central controller 1 can be connected to the power output device of the object to be protected.

[0027] The workflow of this utility model is as follows:

[0028] First, the airbag shell 16 is connected to the object to be protected. The position and attitude information of the protected object are continuously fed back to the central controller 1 via the first position sensor 8, the second position sensor 9, the first attitude sensor 10, and the second attitude sensor 11. When the object is accidentally immersed in a liquid environment to a certain extent, the position and attitude parameters of the protected object trigger a preset program in the central controller 1. The central controller 1 then simultaneously activates the second gas generator 2 and the first gas generator 3 according to the preset driver's startup mechanism. The second gas generator 2 inflates the second airbag 5. The first gas generator 3 inflates the first airbag 4. During inflation, the second airbag 5 and the first airbag 4 gradually acquire a certain buoyancy in the liquid environment. This buoyancy is transmitted to the airbag shell 16 through the first mechanical connection 13 and the second mechanical connection 14 between the airbag and the object, and then to the protected object through the airbag shell 16. This allows the protected object to gradually adjust its height and posture in the liquid (or gaseous) environment, so that the protected object is partially exposed on the surface of the liquid (or gaseous) environment, reducing or mitigating the damage to the protected object from the external environment, and creating favorable conditions for subsequent search and rescue.

[0029] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
