Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fall protection technology for high-altitude operations, and in particular to a full-body water rescue safety belt. Background Technology
[0002] In the working environment of inland hydropower, offshore wind power, ships and offshore platforms and other water facilities, workers face the risk of falling from heights and falling into the water at the same time, or these two risks may occur frequently due to changes in the environment and location.
[0003] However, the commonly used method is to wear the life jacket directly over the outside of the full-body harness, or to alternate between the life jacket and the full-body harness depending on the specific risk encountered. This method has the following disadvantages:
[0004] 1. When the risks of falling from heights and falling into water exist simultaneously, the large life jacket will obviously obstruct the connection points of the full-body safety harness worn by the worker, making the connection points unusable or affecting their effectiveness.
[0005] 2. When the risks of falling from heights and falling into water coexist, the frequent donning and doffing of full-body safety belts and life jackets by users not only results in low work efficiency, but also poses a danger during the donning and doffing process in some working conditions. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a full-body water rescue safety belt that can protect the life safety of workers working under conditions of high-altitude water or high-altitude fall risk and drowning risk, and has functions such as fall prevention, area restriction, reduction of drowning risk, and traction and rescue of people who have fallen into the water.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, a full-body water rescue safety belt is provided, characterized in that it includes a shoulder and back assembly, left and right chest assemblies and leg assemblies, and the various assemblies are connected and sewn together by quick-connect buckles, adjustment buckles and elastic fabric to form a whole full-body water rescue safety belt;
[0008] The shoulder and back assembly consists of a back buoyancy foam assembly, a back anti-fall and drag connection point, a double shoulder vertical rescue connection point, a lower back limiting connection point, an abdominal limiting connection point, left and right waist side connection points, a split plate, and a first connecting webbing.
[0009] The left and right front chest components are composed of left and right buoyancy foam components, front chest anti-fall and drag connection points, and a second connecting webbing.
[0010] The leg assembly consists of a joint ring, leg guards, and a third connecting webbing. It is equipped with eight attachment points of four types, including fall protection and towing rescue points, vertical rescue points, work limit points, and pole operation points. This provides a more reliable and safe way of use for high-altitude workers while meeting the requirements for rescue and relief after falling into water.
[0011] According to the aforementioned full-body water rescue safety belt, the back fall protection and towing connection point, the shoulder vertical rescue connection point, the back waist limiting connection point, the abdomen limiting connection point, the left and right waist connection points, and the front chest fall protection and towing connection point are all integrally sewn to the shoulder and back components, the left and right front chest components, and the leg components via webbing strips.
[0012] According to the full-body water rescue safety belt, the outer side of the back buoyancy foam component is covered with a layer of abrasion-resistant fabric, the first connecting webbing is sewn to the inner side of the abrasion-resistant fabric of the back buoyancy foam component, and the back anti-fall and drag connection point and the back waist limiting connection point have corresponding through holes in the abrasion-resistant fabric and are exposed on their outer side.
[0013] According to the full-body water rescue harness, the buoyancy foam in the back buoyancy foam assembly and the left and right buoyancy foam assemblies can provide 100N to 200N of buoyancy for the full-body water rescue harness.
[0014] The above-mentioned solution has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] The full-body water rescue safety belt provided by this utility model provides sufficient buoyancy when the user falls into the water, allowing him to wait for rescue or providing protection for rescuers.
[0016] The full-body water rescue safety belt provided by this utility model is equipped with a total of 8 attachment points in 4 types, including anti-fall and towing rescue connection points, vertical rescue connection points, working limit connection points, and pole operation connection points. While meeting the requirements for rescue and relief after falling into the water, it can also provide a more reliable and safe way of use for high-altitude workers.
[0017] The shoulder straps and waist straps serve as the main load-bearing components in case of a fall from a height or when personnel need to be restricted in a certain area. They also connect the foam buoyancy components on the front chest and back.
[0018] Equipped with quick-connect buckles as the main connecting parts when wearing it, users can put it on by simply attaching four quick-connect buckles at the chest, waist and leg rings, without even having to lift their legs, making it efficient and convenient.
[0019] The leg strap assembly is connected by four longitudinal webbing straps tightly sewn into the front and back of the foam assembly. When a person accidentally falls into the water, the foam part floats up, and the buoyancy is transmitted to the leg assembly. While ensuring normal buoyancy, it stops the entire set of equipment from moving upward. The full-body water rescue safety belt fits the body more closely, preventing the foam from coming off above the trapped person or causing the person to suffocate or even fall completely into the water due to the foam floating too high.
[0020] Due to its unique structural design, the exposed surface is made of more eye-catching red-orange fabric, making it less likely to be obscured by webbing and other connectors, thus making the rescued person easier to spot.
[0021] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Reference Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a full-body water rescue safety belt, characterized in that it includes a shoulder and back assembly 1, left and right front chest assemblies 2 and leg assemblies 3. The various assemblies are connected and sewn together by quick-connect buckles, adjustment buckles and elastic fabric to form a whole full-body water rescue safety belt.
[0033] The shoulder and back assembly 1 is composed of a back buoyancy foam assembly 101, a back fall prevention and dragging connection point 106, a double shoulder vertical rescue connection point 104, a back waist limiting connection point 108, an abdominal limiting connection point 102, left and right waist side connection points 103, a split plate 107, and a first connecting webbing 105.
[0034] The left and right front chest components 2 are composed of left and right buoyancy foam components 201, front chest anti-fall and drag connection points 203, and second connecting webbing 202. The whole is equipped with a total of 8 connection points: front chest anti-fall and drag connection points 203 and back anti-fall and drag connection points 106 are used for fall protection after falling from heights and for personnel traction and rescue after falling into water; double shoulder vertical rescue connection points 104 are used at the same time to connect and rescue with the vertical erection device in the direction of the head; back waist limiting connection points 108 and abdomen limiting connection points 102 are used to fix personnel to move within a certain range to prevent them from reaching dangerous positions; left and right waist connection points 103 are used for pole operation connection to prevent personnel from falling when climbing at heights.
[0035] The leg assembly 3 consists of a joint ring 302, a leg guard 303, and a third connecting webbing 301.
[0036] The back fall protection and dragging connection point 106, the shoulder vertical rescue connection point 104, the lower back limiting connection point 108, the abdomen limiting connection point 102, the left and right waist connection points 103, and the front chest fall protection and dragging connection point 203 are all sewn together with the shoulder and back component 1, the left and right front chest components 2, and the leg components 3 by webbing strips.
[0037] The outer side of the back buoyancy foam component 101 is covered with a layer of abrasion-resistant fabric. The first connecting webbing 105 is sewn into the inner side of the abrasion-resistant fabric of the back buoyancy foam component 101. The back anti-fall and drag connection point 106 and the back waist limiting connection point 108 have corresponding through holes in the abrasion-resistant fabric and are exposed on their outer side.
[0038] The buoyancy foam in the back buoyancy foam assembly 101 and the left and right buoyancy foam assemblies 201 can provide 100N to 200N of buoyancy for the full-body water rescue harness.
[0039] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this full-body water rescue safety belt are as follows:
[0040] 1. The full-body water rescue safety belt of this utility model has the functions of preventing falls, restricting the area, reducing the risk of drowning, and pulling and rescuing people who have fallen into the water.
[0041] 2.
