Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of diving equipment technology, and in particular to a diving buoy with a retractable reel. Background Technology

[0002] Diving buoys are crucial safety equipment in diving activities. Their main function is to create a conspicuous warning mark on the water's surface to alert passing vessels that there are divers underwater, thereby preventing collisions and ensuring the divers' safety.

[0003] When using such buoys, divers typically need a separate reel with several tens of meters of line wound on it. Underwater, the diver connects the free end of the line to the buoy via a hook, inflates the buoy, and then releases it to the surface. During this process, the reel is either held by the diver or secured in a specific position.

[0004] Currently, buoys and reels are typically separate units. The reel is only attached to the buoy via a hook when needed, which presents several inconveniences. First, the separate reel is easily lost or forgotten during dive preparation and transport, especially with a large amount of diving equipment. Second, when deploying the buoy, divers need to precisely hook the reel's hook onto the buoy's swivel. Due to the darkness and high resistance in the water, this adds difficulty to the diver's operation and can easily delay buoy deployment. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a diving buoy with a retractable reel. This solution combines the buoy body with the reel, allowing the reel to be stored on the buoy body, thus preventing the reel from being lost or forgotten. Furthermore, the reel is directly connected to the buoy body, eliminating the need for underwater connection between the reel and the buoy body, thereby enabling rapid deployment of the buoy.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a diving buoy with a retractable reel, comprising a buoy body and a reel. The buoy body is provided with a storage portion, and the reel is detachably housed within the storage portion. The free end of the reel's line is connected to either the buoy body or the storage portion.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the storage part is provided with a cover for closing the storage part.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the storage part is a storage bag, and the storage bag and the cover are designed to be openable and closable by Velcro, buttons, buckles or zippers.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, both the storage bag and the lid are made of flexible waterproof material.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the storage part is provided with a connecting part, and the free end of the cord of the reel is fixed on the connecting part.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the connecting part is a connecting hole, a connecting ring, or a connecting strip.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the buoy body is made of flexible waterproof material, and a sealed air cavity for inflation and deflation is formed inside it; the buoy body has a columnar structure when inflated and can float on the water surface; the buoy body can be rolled up into a roll structure after deflation.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the storage part is provided at the end of the buoy body, and its position corresponds to the outer side of the roll-shaped structure formed after the buoy body is rolled up.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, the buoy body is also provided with a fixing strap, which is used to bind and fix the buoy body after it is rolled into a roll structure.

[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, the buoy body is provided with a filling and discharging device that communicates with the sealed air chamber.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By incorporating a dedicated storage compartment for the reel on the buoy body, the reel and buoy body are integrated into a single unit. This solves the problems of easy loss, forgetting, and inconvenience in carrying the reel, which are often separated from the buoy in traditional diving buoys. Divers only need to manage and carry one integrated device, eliminating concerns about missing or searching for individual reels, greatly improving equipment management convenience. Furthermore, since the reel pre-connects its free end to the buoy body or storage compartment and is housed within the compartment, divers can immediately retrieve the connected reel and release the buoy in case of emergency. This eliminates the tedious process of temporarily searching for and connecting the reel underwater, significantly shortening buoy deployment time and providing valuable time for divers in emergencies, thereby improving diving safety.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a diving buoy with a retractable reel includes a buoy body 1 and a reel 2.

[0020] The buoy body 1 is a common buoy structure, made of flexible waterproof fabric, such as PVC or waterproof nylon cloth, with an internal sealed air chamber for inflation and deflation. The buoy body is equipped with an inflation / deflation device (not shown in the figure) connected to the sealed air chamber, which inflates and deflates the buoy body 1. When inflated, the buoy body 1 has a long, cylindrical structure and can float on the water surface; after deflation, it can be rolled up into a roll. The buoy body 1 is equipped with a fixing strap 11, which secures the buoy body 1 when it is rolled up.

[0021] Reel 2 is a common diving reel with tens of meters of line wound on it.

[0022] The core improvement of this utility model lies in the fact that a storage part 12 is fixedly provided on the buoy body 1. The storage part 12 is a storage box or a storage bag. In this embodiment, the storage part 12 is specifically a storage bag made of flexible waterproof fabric, which is made of PVC or waterproof nylon. The storage part 12 is preferably sewn to one end of the buoy body, and its position corresponds to the outer side of the roll structure formed after the buoy body is rolled up. This design ensures that when the buoy body 1 is deflated and rolled up for storage, the storage part 12 and the reel 2 inside it will not hinder the winding operation, and the buoy body 1 can still be rolled into a compact and neat roll structure. The storage part 12 is provided with a cover 13 of the same material. In this embodiment, one side of the cover 13 is connected to the storage part 12 by sewing or integral connection, and the other side of the cover 13 is connected to the storage part 12 in an openable and closable manner by a buckle 14, thereby forming an openable and closable accommodating space. The reel 2 can be detachably placed and stored within the accommodating space of the storage section 12. In other embodiments, the storage section 12 and the cover 13 can also be closable via Velcro, buttons, or zippers. The cover 13 ensures that the reel 2 is securely enclosed within the storage section 12 when stored, effectively preventing the risk of the reel 2 accidentally falling off.

[0023] The free end 21 of the line on the reel 2 is connected to the buoy body 1 or the storage part 12. In this embodiment, the free end 21 of the line on the reel 2 is connected to the storage part 12. Specifically, a connecting part is provided on the storage part 12, which consists of two connecting holes 15. The free end 21 of the line on the reel 2 passes through these two connecting holes 15 and is knotted to secure it, thereby connecting the reel 2 to the storage part 12 and pre-"tethering" the reel 2 to the buoy body. In other embodiments, the connecting part can also be a connecting ring or connecting strap sewn onto the inner wall of the storage part 12, and the free end 21 of the line on the reel 2 is tied to the connecting ring or connecting strap.

[0024] The above-mentioned buoys are used as follows: Before diving, the buoy body is in a deflated and wound-up state and secured with the fixing strap 11. The reel 2 is stored in the storage bag, and its free end 21 of the line is fixed to the connection hole 15. At this time, all components are integrated into one unit, which greatly avoids the possibility of the reel 2 being lost or forgotten.

[0025] When divers need to deploy a buoy underwater, they first untie the securing strap 11, unfold the buoy body, and inflate it using the inflation / deflation device. Then, they open the cover 13 and take out the reel 2 from the storage bag. Since the reel 2 is already connected to the buoy body via a line, divers do not need to perform underwater wiring operations. They can directly hold the reel 2 and release the buoy body, allowing it to quickly rise to the surface, significantly improving the deployment speed and safety of the buoy.

[0026] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of this utility model. Any equivalent embodiments made by those skilled in the art without departing from the technical features disclosed in this utility model, and without departing from the technical features of this utility model, shall still fall within the scope of the technical features of this utility model.
