Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of ice rescue technology, and in particular to an ice rescue AGV trolley. Background Technology
[0002] A related technology (Announcement No.: CN219545057U) discloses an AGV for ice rescue, including a main body. Tracks are symmetrically arranged on the bottom of the main body. A cable is arranged on the side of the main body away from the camera. A roller is rotatably arranged on the side of the main body near the cable, with the cable wound around the roller, and a retrieval device is arranged on the side of the main body near the roller. Two lifebuoys are arranged on the side of the main body near the cable. A release assembly is arranged on the side of the main body near the lifebuoys, with the two lifebuoys respectively engaged at both ends of the release assembly.
[0003] In the process of implementing the technical solution disclosed herein, it was found that the above technical solution has at least the following problems:
[0004] This ice rescue AGV uses tracks to move its main body across the ice to the location of the drowning victim. A release mechanism then deploys a lifebuoy to the victim's location, facilitating rescues on ice. A retrieval device automatically winds up the cable using rollers, improving rescue efficiency and preventing secondary rescue attempts and dangers on the ice. However, the release mechanism can only deploy the lifebuoy; after the rescue, the lifebuoy must be manually reattached to the release mechanism.
[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0018] The AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) for ice surface rescue provided in this disclosure can achieve the following technical effects:
[0019] This disclosure provides an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) for ice rescue, comprising a trolley, a rotating shaft, a support column, a cantilever, a pulley, a rope, a lifebuoy, a winding mechanism, and a drive unit. The trolley propels the entire device. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the trolley along its height and can rotate relative to the trolley. The support column is mounted on the top of the rotating shaft and is coaxial with it, rotating under the drive of the rotating shaft. The cantilever is mounted on the top of the support column, with its line perpendicular to the axis of the support column, rotating under the drive of the support column. The pulley is mounted on the cantilever and supports the rope, changing the direction of the force. The rope passes over the pulley and is used to pull the lifebuoy, moving it. The lifebuoy is mounted on one end of the rope to support the drowning person and prevent them from sinking to the bottom. The winding mechanism is mounted on the cantilever and connected to the other end of the rope, used to wind or release the rope to move the lifebuoy. The drive unit is mounted between the trolley and the rotating shaft, providing driving force to drive the rotating shaft to rotate relative to the trolley.
[0020] In use, the trolley is moved to the hole in the ice. Controlling the drive mechanism rotates the shaft, which in turn rotates the support column, adjusting the position of the lifebuoy so that it is above the hole. Then, controlling the reel releases the rope, allowing the lifebuoy to fall into the water below the hole, providing support to the drowning person and preventing them from sinking. Controlling the reel again reels in the rope, pulling the drowning person out of the hole and completing the rescue. After separating the lifebuoy from the person, controlling the reel again reels in the rope, lifting the lifebuoy off the ground. Therefore, manual repositioning of the lifebuoy is unnecessary, making it easier to use.

[0038] Combination Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides an ice rescue AGV trolley 10, including a trolley 10, a rotating shaft 20, a support column 30, a cantilever 40, a pulley 50, a rope 60, a lifebuoy 70, a winding component 80, and a drive component 90. The trolley 10 is used to move the entire device. The rotating shaft 20 is rotatably mounted on the trolley 10 along its height direction and can rotate relative to the trolley 10. The support column 30 is mounted on the top of the rotating shaft 20 and is coaxial with the support column 30, rotating under the drive of the rotating shaft 20. The cantilever 40 is mounted on the top of the support column 30, and the line of the cantilever 40 is perpendicular to the axis of the support column 30, rotating under the drive of the support column 30. The pulley 50 is mounted on the cantilever 40 and is used to support the rope 60, changing the direction of the force. The rope 60 passes over the pulley 50 and is used to pull the lifebuoy 70, moving the lifebuoy 70. A lifebuoy 70 is attached to one end of the rope 60 to support a drowning person and prevent them from sinking to the bottom. A retractor 80 is attached to the cantilever 40 and connected to the other end of the rope 60, used to retract or release the rope 60 to move the lifebuoy 70. A drive unit 90 is installed between the trolley 10 and the pivot 20 to provide driving force, driving the pivot 20 to rotate relative to the trolley 10.
[0039] This embodiment of the invention provides an ice rescue AGV 10. Controlling the AGV 10 allows it to move to a hole in the ice. Controlling the drive unit 90 rotates the shaft 20, which in turn rotates the support column 30, ultimately adjusting the position of the lifebuoy 70 so that it is positioned above the hole in the ice. Then, controlling the retractor 80 releases the rope 60, allowing the lifebuoy 70 to fall into the water inside the hole, providing support to the drowning person and preventing them from sinking to the bottom. Controlling the retractor 80 again retracts the rope 60, pulling the drowning person out of the ice hole, completing the rescue. After separating the lifebuoy 70 from the drowning person, controlling the retractor 80 again retracts the rope 60, lifting the lifebuoy 70 off the ground. Therefore, there is no need to manually reset the lifebuoy 70, making it easier to use.
