[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides an emergency life-saving vest, which improves emergency response by further optimizing the structure of the life-saving vest.
[0030] The core of this emergency rescue vest is the vest body 1, which contains at least three independent inflatable chambers 101, precisely distributed on the front left, front right, and back panels of the vest body 1. This distribution method can provide stable and balanced buoyancy support to the wearer from multiple directions after inflation, effectively ensuring that the wearer maintains a safe floating posture in the water.
[0031] Each inflation chamber 101 is equipped with an independent inflation valve 102. In actual use, when encountering danger and needing to inflate quickly, the wearer can select the appropriate inflation valve 102 to operate according to their specific situation. For example, if one side of the body is close to an obstacle and it is inconvenient to operate the inflation valve on the corresponding side, the wearer can quickly operate the inflation valve on the other side to inflate. This independent inflation design greatly improves the flexibility and reliability of use.
[0032] The inner surface of the garment body 1 is laminated with an insulation layer 2 made of space cotton, which is lightweight and has excellent heat retention properties. In cold environments, such as underwater operations or outdoor activities in cold weather, the insulation layer 2 can effectively prevent the loss of body heat, providing continuous warmth and protection for the wearer and reducing the risk of hypothermia caused by low temperatures.
[0033] The insulation layer 2 is fixed to the garment body 1 by sewing. This fixing method is simple and reliable, and can ensure that the insulation layer 2 remains firmly attached to the inner side of the garment body 1 under long-term use and various complex movements, thus ensuring the stability of the insulation effect.
[0034] The outer surface of the garment body 1 is equipped with detachable reflective warning strips 3 and a waterproof positioning module 4. The reflective warning strips 3 are distributed on the front left, front right, and back panels of the garment body 1 and are secured with Velcro 6. In low-visibility environments such as dim lighting or nighttime, the reflective warning strips 3 can reflect light, allowing surrounding personnel and rescue equipment to clearly locate the wearer, significantly increasing the chances of the wearer being found and rescued. The use of Velcro 6 facilitates the removal and replacement of the reflective warning strips 3, allowing for quick and convenient operation when the reflective warning strips 3 become worn, damaged, or need to be replaced with different specifications of reflective warning strips for different scenarios.
[0035] The waterproof positioning module 4 includes a waterproof housing 401 and a GPS locator 402 encapsulated within the waterproof housing 401. A mounting base 103 is provided on the outer side of the garment 1 for installing and securing the waterproof positioning module 4. The design of the mounting base 103 ensures that the waterproof positioning module 4 is securely installed on the garment 1, while maintaining a tight seal between the waterproof positioning module 4 and the garment 1 to prevent moisture from entering and affecting the normal operation of the GPS locator 402. In the event of a person being in distress, the GPS locator 402 can continuously and accurately transmit the wearer's location information to the outside world. Rescuers can then quickly and accurately launch rescue operations based on this location information, greatly shortening rescue time and improving rescue efficiency.
[0036] The garment body 1 has its plackets connected by several magnetic quick-lock components 5. Each magnetic quick-lock component 5 includes two housings 501 located on either side of the plackets of the garment body 1, magnetic elements 502 embedded in the opposite end faces of the housings 501, and a locking ring 503 fitted onto the outside of one of the housings 501. When wearing the garment, simply bring the two plackets close together; the magnetic elements 502 attract each other magnetically, initially connecting the two housings 501. Then, rotate the locking ring 503 axially to fit it onto the outside of the other housing 501, achieving a locking and securing effect through the engagement between the locking ring 503 and the housing 501. This connection method is simple and quick to operate. Even in emergency situations, the wearer can quickly put on and secure the vest, and the connection is firm, preventing easy loosening during vigorous exercise or water movement, thus ensuring the wearer's safety.
[0037] When the magnetic quick-lock assembly 5 is connected, the end face of the housing 501 away from the magnetic component 502 is connected to the garment body 1 via a hanging rope 504. The hanging rope 504 prevents the housing 501 from accidentally falling or being lost during operation, ensuring that the magnetic quick-lock assembly 5 remains connected to the garment body 1 for easy access next time. Simultaneously, the outer circumferential surface of the housing 501 has a protrusion 505, and the outer side of the protrusion 505 has an external threaded body 506. The inner wall of the locking ring 503 has an internal threaded body 507 that engages with the external threaded body 506 for locking. After the locking ring 503 is fitted onto the outside of another housing 501, rotating the locking ring 503 causes the internal threaded body 507 and the external threaded body 506 to mesh, further enhancing the connection's strength and effectively preventing the garment from accidentally opening during use, providing reliable safety for the wearer.
[0038] When in use, if the wearer encounters danger such as falling into water and needs to maintain buoyancy, air can be injected into the inflation chambers 101 by operating the independent inflation valves 102 of each inflation chamber 101. Since the inflation chambers 101 are located on the front left, front right, and back panels of the garment 1, inflation provides buoyancy to the wearer from multiple directions, allowing the wearer to maintain a stable floating posture in the water and preventing drowning. In cold environments, the insulation layer 2 made of space cotton plays a role; its special material structure effectively blocks the conduction of body heat to the external low-temperature environment, reducing heat loss and thus keeping the wearer warm, reducing the risk of hypothermia, and buying more time for rescue. In low-light environments, the reflective warning strips 3 on the outer side of the garment 1 reflect light, allowing nearby personnel or rescue equipment to quickly locate the wearer. The GPS locator 402 in the waterproof positioning module 4 continuously transmits the wearer's location information to the outside world after an emergency. Rescuers can use this information, along with professional positioning equipment and systems, to accurately locate the wearer and quickly launch a rescue operation. During the donning process, the magnetic quick-lock assembly 5 at the placket uses the mutual attraction of the magnetic components 502 to achieve an initial connection between the two sides of the placket. Then, by rotating the locking ring 503, its internal thread 507 engages with the external thread 506 of the housing 501, firmly locking the placket and ensuring that the life vest will not easily come undone during use, always remaining securely worn on the wearer and providing reliable safety protection.
[0039] Compared with traditional technologies, the emergency vest provided by this technical solution has multiple independent inflation chambers 101 in the body 1, and each inflation chamber 101 is equipped with an independent inflation valve 102. This not only allows for flexible adjustment of buoyancy balance, but also ensures that even if some inflation chambers 101 are damaged, the others can still inflate normally, greatly improving the reliability of the life vest. The inner side of the body 1 has an insulation layer made of space cotton, which can effectively insulate against low temperatures and provide warmth and protection for the wearer, preventing hypothermia. The outer side of the body 1 has reflective warning strips that serve as a warning in low light conditions. The GPS locator in the waterproof positioning module facilitates rescuers to quickly determine the location and improves rescue efficiency. The placket of the body 1 is connected by a magnetic quick-lock assembly 5. The magnetic component 502 allows the placket to be quickly attracted, and rotating the locking ring 503 can securely lock it. The operation is simple and convenient, and the vest can be put on quickly even in emergency situations.
