Abstract
Description
Field of technology:
[0001] The present invention relates to an autonomous flying rescue cabin with which hard-to-reach places can be reached quickly and the injured person can be transported to a hospital after the procedure. State of the art:
[0002] Many accidents happen every day. Some of these accidents occur in remote areas between cities. Sometimes accidents happen during extreme sports. Most of these sports are practiced in uninhabited environments, such as fast-flowing rivers, mountains, and plateaus. Response times for accidents that occur in areas without nearby settlements are very long when traveling by land. In an air rescue, the nearest rescue helicopter takes off and heads to the accident site. In this case, a pilot and a first-aid team must be on standby at all times. Furthermore, preparing the helicopter is very time-consuming, and the costs are high due to its high fuel consumption.
[0003] Patent application EP0274696A2 describes an "ambulance." According to the invention, the attendant seat, positioned next to the head end of a stretcher or stretcher platform, is continuously adjustable between low and high, and also moves longitudinally along the vehicle. In the raised and rearward position, the attendant can easily see the head of the patient lying on the stretcher without turning their own head. The lowered and forward-positioned position guarantees a high degree of comfort, while still allowing the patient to be observed from the side.
[0004] Patent application GB2390579A describes a "field ambulance for the recovery of injured persons." According to the invention, a stretcher support frame is arranged to provide support for a stretcher oriented to extend longitudinally along one side of the ambulance. A first seat is attached to the ambulance and arranged to provide support for a seated medical officer at one end behind the stretcher support frame. The footwell is lower than the stretcher support frame and has an area in front of the seat suitable for receiving the medical officer's feet. The seat is adapted to accommodate the medical officer's feet.
[0005] Ambulances responding to accidents are described above. Since these ambulances operate from land, they cannot easily navigate difficult terrain. Reaching locations without roads during an emergency response from land is challenging. Furthermore, traffic congestion and other factors can prevent a sufficiently rapid response.
[0006] Therefore, there is a need for a new technology that can overcome the aforementioned disadvantages. Definition of the invention:
[0007] This invention is an autonomous flying rescue cabin that can overcome the aforementioned disadvantages, characterized in that it can fly autonomously, navigate to hard-to-reach places, take off and land under difficult terrain conditions, contains first-aid equipment and can be powered by electricity.
[0008] The invention can reach the injured person's location quickly and autonomously, eliminating the need for an operator. Thanks to its design and equipment, it can also reach difficult-to-access locations quickly, often in conjunction with a paramedic. After the paramedic provides first aid, the paramedic ensures the injured person is placed in the cabin and transported to a hospital. The control room's equipment allows for the immediate monitoring of data such as location, the injured person's condition, and arrival time. It can land and take off in challenging terrain. All the necessary equipment for the paramedic's deployment is housed within the frame and cabin. The propellers are driven by an electric motor, and the rescue cabin is powered by a battery.
[0009] Thanks to the simple attachment of the parts that make up the invention, it is easy to install and the costs are also low thanks to the short assembly time.
[0010] Furthermore, the invention has a robust structure. Description of the drawings:

Description of the reference list: 1 frame 2 Health cabins 3 Chassis 4 propellers 5 electric motor 6 Tax Chamber Description of the invention:
[0014] The present invention comprises a frame (1) containing the battery and treatment devices, an opening and closing medical cabin (2) arranged on the frame (1) in which the injured person is treated and transported, a landing gear (3) arranged under the frame (1), 2 propellers (4) arranged on the projections at both ends of the frame (1), 2 electric motors (5) arranged on the underside of the propellers (4) to operate them, and 2 control chambers (6) containing the control devices required for the autonomous flight of the rescue cabin and arranged on both sides of the frame (1). Detailed description of the invention:
[0015] The parts of the invention essentially consist of a frame (1), a health cabin (2), a landing gear (3), a propeller (4), an electric motor (5) and a control chamber (6).
[0016] The frame (1) contains a battery that stores the electrical energy required for flight, as well as various treatment devices. A medical cabin (2) is located in the wide opening in the center of the frame (1). This medical cabin (2) can be opened and closed and is used to treat and transport the injured person. The landing gear (3) is located on the underside of the frame (1). Two propellers (4) are located on the projections at both ends of the frame (1). Two electric motors (5) are located on the underside of the propellers (4) and drive them. The electric motors (5) are powered by the battery inside the frame (1). Two control chambers (6) are located on both sides of the frame (1), below the propellers (4). The control chambers (6) contain control units that enable the autonomous flight of the rescue cabin.
