Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dry suits, specifically a dry suit that is convenient for rescue. Background Technology

[0002] Diving is an activity involving entering the water below the surface, with or without specialized equipment, for underwater exploration, salvage, repair, and underwater engineering operations. During diving, divers wear wetsuits, which are essential diving gear designed to prevent rapid heat loss and hypothermia, while also protecting divers from reefs and harmful plants and animals. A wetsuit is a professional garment for diving, typically consisting of a jacket, trousers, boots, and gloves. It is worn before diving and primarily provides insulation, protection, and flexibility. Currently, wetsuits are divided into wet and dry types, both providing protection for divers. In diving operations, dry suits are the core equipment for ensuring diver safety; their buoyancy and rescue adaptability directly affect operational efficiency and personnel safety.

[0003] Current drysuits have the following drawbacks: The buoyancy of traditional drysuits relies primarily on the inherent properties of the material itself (such as the closed-cell structure of foamed rubber or neoprene rubber), resulting in a fixed buoyancy value that cannot be dynamically adjusted according to environmental needs. For example, buoyancy is controlled only by material thickness or density, making it unsuitable for varying water depths, load changes, or emergency rescue scenarios (such as when carrying rescue equipment or rescuing others, requiring additional buoyancy). If a diver experiences insufficient buoyancy due to physical exertion or increased equipment load during operations, traditional drysuits cannot supplement buoyancy through external means (such as inflation), easily leading to loss of body position or drowning risks. The buoyancy of existing drysuits is concentrated in the torso area, while the limbs (arms and thighs) lack targeted buoyancy support: As the primary movement areas, the arms and thighs require frequent paddling or lifting of the trapped person during rescue operations. Traditional designs lack localized buoyancy units, causing the limbs to easily sink due to fatigue, reducing rescue efficiency. Existing drysuits typically only provide a fixed level of buoyancy, unable to be flexibly adjusted according to the diver's specific needs and the underwater environment. Divers require different buoyancy support at different depths and for different missions. However, the buoyancy systems of existing wetsuits are usually quite simple and cannot precisely adjust the buoyancy, making it difficult for divers to maintain neutral buoyancy underwater, which affects the diving experience and safety.
