Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of DSC communication terminals, and more specifically, to a marine DSC emergency communication terminal. Background Technology

[0002] The DSC (Digital Selective Calling) emergency communication terminal is a core device of the Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS). It achieves efficient alarm and communication through predefined digital coding, ensuring communication in distress. One-button triggering of emergency alarms results in a system response time of no more than 3 seconds. It automatically broadcasts the distress location (GPS connection required), vessel ID, and nature of the distress to nearby vessels and shore stations. It operates 24 hours a day on frequency bands such as MF2187.5KHz and HF 8414.5KHz, replacing the traditional 2182KHz manual monitoring mode and significantly improving alarm reliability.

[0003] However, the emergency buttons on current DSC emergency communication terminals are generally only equipped with a flip-top protective cover. In emergency situations, such as when the wind and waves are large and emergency communication is needed, it is difficult for a person to stand on the swaying hull. After flipping the protective cover, the cover must be kept flipped up in order to press the button, which will hinder operation in an emergency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a marine DSC emergency communication terminal.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] A marine DSC emergency communication terminal includes a DSC terminal body, and an operation panel is provided on the front of the DSC terminal body;

[0007] The operation panel includes a display screen, a numeric keypad, an emergency button, and a protective mechanism. The display screen, numeric keypad, and emergency button are all installed on the front of the DSC terminal body to form the operation panel.

[0008] The protective mechanism includes an integrated protective cover, two sliding blocks, and two springs. The two sliding blocks are mounted on the integrated protective cover and slidably connected to the DSC terminal body. The two springs are respectively fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two sliding blocks, and the other ends of the springs are fixedly connected to the DSC terminal body. The integrated protective cover is placed on the emergency button and does not contact the surface of the DSC terminal body.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: the DSC terminal body has two limiting grooves for sliding blocks, and the spring is located inside the limiting grooves.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the top and bottom of the integrated protective cover are both fixedly connected with protrusions, and the protrusions are hard rubber blocks.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: the integrated protective cover has an elliptical transparent observation block on the surface facing the emergency button.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: two symmetrical arc-shaped push blocks are fixedly connected to the inner side of the integrated protective cover, and the two arc-shaped push blocks are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the emergency button.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: the end of the emergency button is spherical.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0015] This solution utilizes a spring in conjunction with a sliding block to enable the integrated protective structure to be operated regardless of left or right, thereby activating the emergency button. This increases the success rate of operation in emergency situations where the device is unstable, thus achieving the advantages of improving the success rate of emergency button operation and reducing operational obstacles even when the ship is unstable.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model;

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4In this utility model, a marine DSC emergency communication terminal includes a DSC terminal body 1, and an operation panel is provided on the front of the DSC terminal body 1.

[0024] The operation panel includes a display screen 2, a numeric keypad 3, an emergency button 4, and a protective mechanism 5. The display screen 2, numeric keypad 3, and emergency button 4 are all installed on the front of the DSC terminal body 1 to form the operation panel.

[0025] The protective mechanism 5 includes an integrated protective cover 51, two sliding blocks 52 and two springs 53. The two sliding blocks 52 are both installed on the integrated protective cover 51 and slidably connected to the DSC terminal body 1. The two springs 53 are respectively fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two sliding blocks 52, and the other ends are both connected and fixed to the DSC terminal body 1. The integrated protective cover 51 covers the emergency button 4 and does not contact the surface of the DSC terminal body 1.

[0026] In this invention, the DSC terminal body 1 serves as the main body of the device. The digital keypad 3 facilitates routine communication operations, and the information is displayed on the screen 2. When emergency communication is needed, if the ship is not rocking, the protective mechanism 5 can be pushed to either the left or right side in the horizontal direction. As the protective mechanism 5 moves, it will contact and press the emergency button 4, activating it and sending an emergency message for quick operation. If the ship is rocking, it is only necessary to contact the protective mechanism 5 and push it without lifting the cover. It can be pushed from either the left or right side. In an emergency and unstable situation, the success rate of operation is higher. Thus, the device has the advantages of improving the success rate of emergency button operation and reducing operational obstacles when the ship is unstable. It solves the problem of existing technologies that only have a flip-type protective cover. In an emergency, such as when the wind and waves are large, it is difficult for people to stand on the rocking ship. After lifting the protective cover, it is necessary to keep the cover flipped up to press the button, which would hinder operation in an emergency.

[0027] Please see Figure 2 The DSC terminal body 1 has two limiting grooves 6 for sliding the sliding block 52, and the spring 53 is located inside the limiting groove 6.

[0028] In this invention, the movement position of the sliding block 52 is restricted by the limiting groove 6 to prevent excessive force from causing the integrated protective cover 51 to move excessively and misalign with the emergency button 4.

[0029] Please see Figure 2 Among them, the top and bottom of the integrated protective cover 51 are fixedly connected with protrusions 511, which are hard rubber blocks.

[0030] In this invention, the upper and lower protrusions 511 increase the contact area between the hand and the integrated protective cover 51 when pushing, thereby improving the success rate of operation.

[0031] Please see Figure 2 Among them, an elliptical transparent observation block 512 is provided on the surface of the integrated protective cover 51 facing the emergency button 4.

[0032] In this invention, the elliptical transparent observation block 512 facilitates the confirmation of the status of the internal emergency button 4 under normal circumstances, making it convenient to view.

[0033] Please see Figure 4 Among them, two symmetrical arc-shaped push blocks 513 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the integrated protective cover 51, and the two arc-shaped push blocks 513 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the emergency button 4.

[0034] In this invention, the arc-shaped pusher 513 makes the contact and pushing effect of the emergency button 4 better when the integrated protective cover 51 is pushed and moved, ensuring that the emergency button 4 is successfully pushed.

[0035] Please see Figure 3 Among them, the end of the emergency button 4 is set to be spherical.

[0036] In this invention, the end of the emergency button 4 is spherical, which makes the process of the arc-shaped push block 513 moving to contact and squeeze the emergency button 4 smoother, ensuring that the emergency button 4 is pushed smoothly.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
