[0019] Example 1

[0020] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, the flight lifebuoy proposed in this embodiment includes a lifebuoy body 1, a receiver 2, a flight controller 3, a flight control radar 4, a camera 5, and flight components.

[0021] The lifebuoy body 1 has a ring-shaped structure and is able to float on water. The lifebuoy body 1 has multiple mounting channels 101 distributed around its central axis. Each mounting channel 101 has a slot 1011, the opening of which faces inward and downward. A groove 103 is provided at the outer end of the lifebuoy body 1. The bottom of the lifebuoy body 1 has multiple protrusions 104, providing support and buoyancy to isolate the flight component from the ground or water surface, reducing the probability of water splashing onto the flight component.

[0022] Multiple flight components are provided, for example, six sets, distributed one-to-one at the installation channel 101. The even distribution of flight components ensures balanced control of the lifebuoy's flight. Each flight component includes a mounting cylinder 6 installed at the installation channel 101, a motor 7 housed inside the mounting cylinder 6, and propellers 8 connected to the output of the motor 7. The motor 7 drives the propellers 8 to rotate, enabling the lifebuoy to fly. The mounting cylinder 6 has an insert plate 61 on its outer periphery that extends upwards into a slot 1011, ensuring a secure installation of the mounting cylinder 6.

[0023] Receiver 2 can receive remote control signals from the matching remote controller. Rescuers can remotely control this flying lifebuoy by holding the remote controller. The remote controller has an integrated display screen that can display the images captured by camera 5, enabling rescuers to accurately fly the lifebuoy to the person in distress.

[0024] The flight controller 3 is installed on the lifebuoy body 1 and communicates with the receiver 2 to control the flight of the entire flying lifebuoy.

[0025] like Figures 1-3 As shown, both the flight control radar 4 and camera 5 are communicatively connected to the flight controller 3. The flight control radar 4 receives and processes radar signals to confirm the spatial position and orientation of the flying lifebuoy, achieving precise navigation. The flight control radar 4 can also detect obstacles to assist the flight controller 3 in performing corresponding obstacle avoidance maneuvers. The camera 5 is used to capture images. The camera 5 is mounted in the recess 103, providing it with some protection.

[0026] This embodiment allows rescuers to remotely control a flying lifebuoy to fly to the vicinity of the person in distress via a handheld remote control before it lands in the water. The person in distress can grab the lifebuoy in time, facilitating a quick escape. After the lifebuoy lands in the water, motor 7 is shut off to prevent the propellers 8 from injuring the person in distress.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] like Figures 1-4As shown, this embodiment of the flying lifebuoy, compared to Embodiment 1, has multiple mounting slots 102 evenly arranged around the central axis on the top of the lifebuoy body 1. Batteries 9 and motor drivers 10 are respectively installed in the mounting slots 102. The mounting slots 102 and multiple sets of flight components are spaced apart. The batteries 9 and motor drivers 10 are spaced apart, with each mounting slot 102 housing two batteries 9 or two motor drivers 10 to supply power to the motors 7 in two adjacent sets of flight components and to control the rotational speed of the motors 7. The batteries 9 are electrically connected to the receiver 2, flight controller 3, flight control radar 4, camera 5, and motor drivers 10, respectively, to supply power to each device. The motor drivers 10 are electrically connected to the motors 7 to control their rotational speed. A cover plate 11 is detachably connected to the top of the mounting slot 102 to protect the batteries 9 and motor drivers 10. A sealing ring can be provided at the connection point of the cover plate 11 to improve sealing. The cover plate 11 and the lifebuoy body 1 can be detachably connected by bolts.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, receiver 2 and flight controller 3 are both located inside the mounting slot 102 and protected by a cover plate 11. Flight control radar 4 is mounted on the cover plate 11 for easy detection of the external environment.

[0030] A charging port 12 is provided on the cover plate 11 above the battery 9, and the charging port 12 is electrically connected to the battery 9. The battery 9 can be charged through the charging port 12, which is convenient to use.

[0031] The life ring body 1 has multiple connecting channels that connect multiple mounting slots 102 to mounting channels 101, and the mounting cylinder 6 has through holes that connect to the connecting channels. The connecting channels and through holes facilitate cable routing when connecting various components.

[0032] This embodiment achieves the storage and protection of the receiver 2, flight controller 3, battery 9 and motor driver 10 by setting the mounting slot 102 and the cover plate 11, thus preventing water ingress.

[0033] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
