Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the device of this utility model, which can instantly provide a batch of life-saving devices, includes a high-pressure air source 1, an air supply pipeline 3, a housing 5, a gas control valve 6, and inflatable life-saving devices 4. The number of inflatable life-saving devices 4 is at least two. The outlet of the high-pressure air source 1 is connected to the inlet of the air supply pipeline 3, and multiple outlets of the air supply pipeline 4 are respectively connected to the inflation ports of multiple inflatable life-saving devices 4. The housing 5 is provided with multiple storage compartments 51, each containing one or more uninflated inflatable life-saving devices 4. The high-pressure air source 1 is located inside or on the outer wall of the housing 5. The gas control valve 6 is connected to the high-pressure air source 1.

[0024] The box 5 in this utility model can be a cuboid or cube structure, or a cylinder, a semi-cylinder, a cone, or other structures. The storage compartment 51 can be located on one side of the box 5, or on two or more sides of the box 5.

[0025] The high-pressure gas source 1 in this device may include a high-pressure gas cylinder (such as...) Figure 1-3 ) or an air pump (such as Figure 4 The high-pressure gas cylinder can be filled with various gases such as high-pressure air, nitrogen, helium, and carbon dioxide, and the high-pressure gas source 1 can be connected to a pressure gauge for measuring pressure.

[0026] In a specific scheme, such as Figure 1 or Figure 3 As shown, the ventilation pipeline 3 may include a main pipe 31, a distribution unit 32, and multiple branch pipes 33. The air inlet of the main pipe is connected to the gas outlet of the high-pressure gas source, the air inlet of the distribution unit is connected to the air outlet of the main pipe, and the air inlets of each branch pipe are connected to different air outlets of the distribution unit. The air outlets of each branch pipe are connected to the air inlets of each inflatable life-saving device. The distribution unit includes air dividers, air dividers, air dividers, air dividers, air dividers, or flow dividers, etc., that can divide a single airflow into multiple channels.

[0027] This equipment includes multiple inflatable lifesaving devices, specifically 3, 5, or 8 or more. It is particularly suitable for 10, 20, or 50 or more inflatable lifesaving devices (e.g., Figure 2 (As shown), even 100, 200, or 500 or more inflatable lifesaving devices. Inflatable lifesaving devices include, but are not limited to, inflatable life rings, inflatable airbags, or inflatable life jackets. Each inflatable lifesaving device's air inlet is connected to the air outlet of a separate pipe. A quick-connect duct connector can be provided at the inflation port of each inflatable lifesaving device to allow for quick separation of the inflatable lifesaving device from the duct when needed without affecting the internal air pressure. The inflatable lifesaving devices in this invention can be those with a post-inflation protection mechanism at the inflation port to prevent air leakage when the external pressure decreases after inflation. Alternatively, they can be connected to a quick-connect duct connector to prevent air leakage from the inflation port after inflation.

[0028] The housing 5 of this device contains multiple storage compartments 51, each holding one or more uninflated inflatable lifesaving devices. It is preferable to hold only one uninflated inflatable lifesaving device to prevent them from becoming entangled or obstructing each other during rapid inflation. Each storage compartment has a protective cover at its opening, or multiple compartments may have an integrated protective cover. The cover may be easy to open or easily broken to prevent interference with the ejection of the lifesaving device after inflation. The number of storage compartments 51 can vary, ranging from dozens to hundreds, depending on the number of inflatable lifesaving devices. Each storage compartment has an air pipe hole for branch pipes to pass through. High-pressure air source connectors or fasteners are provided inside or on the outer wall of the housing to secure the high-pressure air source. The storage compartment 51 in this invention can have various grid shapes, such as cubic grids, cuboid grids, cylindrical grids, hexagonal grids, honeycomb grids, etc. The uninflated inflatable life-saving device is very small and can be easily placed inside the storage compartment 51. When the inflatable life-saving device is inflated, its volume increases and it expands outwards. When it touches the easily openable or easily breakable protective cover, it will not be blocked by the cover but will continue to expand. During the inflation process, it can be ejected from the storage compartment 51, completing the inflation process outside and forming a complete life-saving device.

[0029] The entire or part of the container is made of a floating material, or there are floating objects, such as foam boards or airbags, on the inside or outside of the container to provide buoyancy to the container. This design can ensure that the container can remain floating after falling into the water, making it easy to deploy the inflatable life-saving device in time.

[0030] The gas control valve in this equipment can be located at the outlet of the high-pressure gas source to control the gas discharge. Depending on the specific situation, the gas control valve can have various configurations. For example, when the high-pressure gas source is an air pump, the gas control valve may include a safety valve at the outlet of the air pump, or a control valve to control the start and stop of the air pump.

[0031] When a high-pressure gas source uses a high-pressure gas cylinder, the gas control valve may include a cylinder head valve. The cylinder head valve is connected to the outlet of the high-pressure gas cylinder for directly closing or opening it, and its outlet is connected to the inlet of the main pipe. In this invention, the cylinder head valve refers to a valve located at the head of the high-pressure gas cylinder, used to directly open or close it. The cylinder head valve can be any existing valve capable of controlling high-pressure gas. The gas control valve may further include a solenoid valve (such as...). Figure 1-3 As shown in the figure, the solenoid valve is used to receive external signals and transmit the signals to the bottle head valve to control the opening of the bottle head valve.

[0032] The gas control valve may further include a pressure reducing valve (such as...) Figure 3As shown, this is used to adjust the outlet pressure of a high-pressure gas cylinder that is too high to a pre-set pressure value, preventing the inflatable life-saving device from exploding due to excessive outlet pressure. The inlet of the pressure reducing valve is connected to the outlet of the cylinder head valve. If the pressure inside the high-pressure gas cylinder is filled with a set amount of gas, and the pressure inside the cylinder after a short period of deflation balances with the pressure inside the fully filled inflatable life-saving device without damaging it, then a pressure reducing valve is not required.

[0033] This device may further include a water immersion sensor, which can be connected to a gas control valve, particularly a solenoid valve. When the device falls into water, the water immersion sensor detects the immersion and sends information to the solenoid valve, automatically controlling the release of gas from the high-pressure cylinder to quickly inflate the inflatable life-saving device. The water immersion sensor in this invention refers to various existing sensors that, upon immersion in water, can emit electrical signals or undergo mechanical transmission through mechanical, electrical, or electrochemical structures.

[0034] This equipment may further include an emergency lighting device installed on the housing 5, which is connected to the gas control valve via wiring to provide illumination or location for emergency rescue at night or in low light conditions.

[0035] This equipment may further include an alarm device installed on the housing 5, which is connected to the gas control valve via a line and provides an alarm to personnel when the gas control valve is activated.

[0036] This equipment may further include a positioning device installed on the housing 5, which is connected to the gas control valve via a line and provides positioning for the housing after the gas control valve is activated, or provides positioning for subsequent rescue.

[0037] This equipment may further include a video device mounted on the housing 5, which is connected to the gas control valve via wiring. The video device can be turned on normally or activated when the gas control valve is started, providing real-time video or monitoring to the backend.

[0038] This equipment may further include an infrared scanning device installed on the housing 5. When the light is weak or at night, the infrared scanning device can scan for high-temperature objects in the surrounding water to provide guidance for emergency rescue.

[0039] This device may include one or more batteries housed within the housing 5, which provide power to one or more electric devices within the housing when no external power source is available.

[0040] The device of this invention can be started manually, automatically, or remotely. Manual start includes directly opening the solenoid valve or the bottle valve to instantly fill each inflatable life-saving device with gas through the vent pipe. Alternatively, the air pump can be manually activated to inflate each inflatable life-saving device. A user-friendly manual button can be provided to control the solenoid valve or bottle valve, or the air pump. In automatic start, the solenoid valve can be controlled by the control system or immersion sensor to automatically open the bottle valve or air pump to inflate each inflatable life-saving device. In remote start, a remote control device connected to the gas control valve can be installed on the housing. This device allows remote control of the solenoid valve to open the bottle valve or air pump to inflate each inflatable life-saving device.

[0041] When activated actively or passively, the high-pressure gas source begins operation. Controlled by a gas control valve, high-pressure gas is rapidly supplied through the ventilation pipes to multiple uninflated inflatable life-saving devices stored in various compartments. Each device inflates within 2-5 seconds and automatically ejects from its compartment or pops out of the container under pressure, releasing them around the container. Dozens or even hundreds of devices can be deployed simultaneously for emergency use by large groups. In critical situations, the entire container can be submerged in water. The high-pressure gas source inflates the device, rapidly releasing life rings and other inflatable life-saving devices in batches, which then float around the container. A person in the water can easily retrieve one. Alternatively, individual inflatable life-saving devices can be disconnected from their respective pipes via quick-connect fittings, allowing the user to survive with the aid of these inflatable devices. This equipment is particularly suitable for scenarios requiring the rapid deployment of a large number of life-saving devices.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
