In practical applications, this equipment can provide rescuers and those in distress with more convenient and reliable protection, thereby enabling rapid and effective rescue operations in emergency situations.
[0003] Currently available arm-mounted water rescue equipment typically requires manual inflation when a user faces drowning danger. In emergencies, inflation can be difficult to trigger, leading to poor reliability. To address this issue, arm-mounted water rescue equipment using sensors for electronic triggering has emerged. While this overcomes the manual triggering problem, it is limited by battery power and sensor accuracy. After prolonged storage, battery depletion or sensor contamination can cause malfunction, compromising triggering reliability. Therefore, a new arm-mounted water rescue device is needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0025] An arm-type water rescue device includes a base 21, a mechanical pressure switch, a gas cylinder 19, and an airbag 14. A support wristband 3 is installed on one side of the base 21. The support wristband 3 is detachably installed on the base 21 via connecting bolts 20. The support wristband 3 has an adjustable structure and can be adjusted according to the user's arm circumference, making it convenient and comfortable to wear. A storage box 12 is installed on the other side of the base 21. The airbag 14 is installed inside the storage box 12. The inflation port of the airbag 14 is connected to the air passage of the base 21, allowing compressed gas from the gas cylinder 19 to enter the airbag 14.
[0026] Airbag 14 is made of a three-layer structure. Outer layer: high-strength nylon composite fabric (model) 500D), thickness 0.3mm, tear strength ≥100N / cm 2 The puncture resistance is tested according to ASTM D4833 standard. The inner layer is a polyurethane (PU) coating with a thickness of 0.1 mm. The coating process uses hot pressing to ensure complete waterproofing (hydrostatic pressure ≥10,000 mmH2O). The sealing strip is a TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) hot melt adhesive strip with a melting point of 120℃, used for high-frequency welded joints.
[0027] A mechanical pressure switch is installed on the upper end face of the base 21, and a steel cylinder 19 is installed on the lower end face of the base 21. The compressed gas in the steel cylinder 19 is CO2 gas. The mechanical pressure switch is automatically triggered by water pressure and is used to puncture the sealing gasket 17 at the mouth of the steel cylinder 19, so that the compressed gas in the steel cylinder 19 can enter the airbag 14 and inflate the airbag 14.
[0028] The mechanical pressure switch includes a valve body 1, a push rod 6, and an inner sleeve 8. The push rod 6 is slidably installed inside the valve body 1. The inner sleeve 8 is slidably connected inside the valve body 1. The lower end of the inner sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the push rod 6. An energy storage spring 9 is installed on the inner sleeve 8 and is in a pre-compressed state.
[0029] The valve body 1 has a sleeve ring 10 on its lower inner side. The sleeve ring 10 is made of a flexible rubber material and has a protrusion inside for limiting the lower end of the push rod 6. Its function is to limit the energy storage spring 9 in the pre-compressed state. When the combined force of the water pressure and the energy storage spring 9 is greater than the required deformation force of the sleeve ring 10, the push rod 6 can move downward.
[0030] A gasket 5 is installed on the sleeve 10, and a sealing ring 4 is connected to the lower end of the sleeve 10. A slider 11 is slidably connected to the lower end of the valve body 1, and a valve core 18 is connected to the lower end of the slider 11. The lower end of the valve core 18 has a sharp tip structure, which facilitates piercing the sealing gasket 17. An O-ring 13 is connected to the side wall of the valve core 18, and a return spring 15 is installed on the valve core 18. A swivel cap 2 is connected to the upper end of the valve body 1.
[0031] A top pin 7 is installed on the top of the top rod 6. The top pin 7 is used to manually trigger the mechanical pressure switch. When rescuing others, rescuers can also manually trigger the inflation of the life-saving device. A sealing gasket 17 is provided at the mouth of the cylinder 19. The sealing gasket 17 is sealed and fixed at the mouth of the cylinder 19 by an insert nut 16. The insert nut 16 fixes the sealing gasket 17 to the mouth of the cylinder 19, which facilitates the next replacement of the sealing gasket 17.
[0032] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0033] When using this arm-type water rescue device, first put the support wristband 3 on your arm and adjust it to a tight position. When the user is drowning, the rescue device is immersed in the water to a set depth (about 2-3m) and reaches the predetermined water pressure. The water pressure pushes the inner sleeve 8 and the top rod 6. The resultant force of this thrust and the energy storage spring 9 is greater than the required deformation force of the sleeve ring 10, so that the lower end of the top rod 6 breaks through the limiting protrusion of the sleeve ring 10, thereby pushing the slider 11. The slider 11 pushes the valve core 18, causing the valve core 18 to puncture the sealing gasket 17. The compressed gas in the cylinder 19 enters the airbag 14 through the air passage, realizing the automatic inflation operation of the airbag 14, thereby exerting the rescue effect.
[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
