[0017] Embodiments of the present disclosure may be understood by referring to the description of the invention and the drawings. The described embodiments may have various variations and may be implemented in other forms and are not limited to the embodiments described herein. Furthermore, the features of each of the various embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with one another in whole or in part. Each embodiment may be implemented independently of one another or in relation to one another. The described embodiments are provided as examples to ensure that the present disclosure is complete and complete, and are intended to fully convey the spirit of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure pertains. The present disclosure is subject to all variations, equivalents, and substitutions within the spirit and technical scope of the present invention. Accordingly, processes, elements, and technologies that are not necessary to a person skilled in the art for a complete understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure may not be described.

[0018] Throughout the attached drawings and specifications, unless otherwise noted, the same reference numerals, letters, or combinations thereof denote the same components, so redundant descriptions are omitted. Additionally, parts unrelated to the explanation have been omitted to clearly explain the present invention.

[0019] In the drawings, the relative sizes of elements, layers, and regions may be exaggerated for clarity. The use of hatching and / or shading in the attached drawings is generally provided to clarify the boundaries between adjacent elements. Therefore, the presence or absence of hatching or shading does not indicate the preferred form or requirements for specific materials, material properties, dimensions, proportions, commonalities between figure elements, and / or other characteristics, attributes, properties, etc., of the elements unless otherwise specified.

[0020] Various embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional examples, which are schematic examples of embodiments and / or intermediate structures. Accordingly, the shapes in the drawings may vary, for example, as a result of manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances. Furthermore, specific structural or functional descriptions disclosed herein are merely examples to illustrate embodiments according to the concept of the invention. Accordingly, the embodiments disclosed herein should not be interpreted as being limited to the shapes of the illustrated areas and include, for example, variations in shape due to manufacturing.

[0021] The areas depicted in the drawings are by nature schematic, and their shapes are not intended to exemplify or limit the actual shapes of the device areas. Furthermore, as recognized by a person skilled in the art, the described embodiments may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present disclosure.

[0022] Numerous specific details are presented in the specification to provide a complete understanding of the various embodiments. However, the various embodiments may be implemented without these specific details or with one or more details. In other cases, well-known structures and devices are illustrated in block diagram form to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the various embodiments.

[0023] To facilitate explanation and to describe the relationship between one element or feature and another element or feature as illustrated in the drawings, spatially relative terms such as "below," "above," "lower," and "upper" may be used. Spatially relative terms are intended to include various directions of the device in use or operation in addition to the directions depicted in the drawings. For example, if the device in the drawings is inverted, another element or feature described as "below" or "lower" will face "above" the other element or feature. Thus, as exemplary terms, "below" and "lower" may include both upper and lower directions. The device may face other directions (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and spatially relative descriptions used herein should be interpreted accordingly. Likewise, if it is stated that the first part is positioned "above" the second part, this means that the first part is positioned on the upper or lower side of the second part.

[0024] Additionally, the expression “viewed in plan” means the case where the object is viewed from above, and the expression “in a schematic section” means the case where a schematic section is taken by cutting the object vertically. The term “viewed in side” means that the first object may be above, below, or to the side of the second object, and vice versa. Furthermore, the terms “overlap” or “superimposition” may include layer, stack, plane, extension, cover, or partial cover, or any other suitable term that a person skilled in the art understands and can understand. The expression “not overlapping” may include meanings such as “away from” or “separated from” and any other suitable equivalents recognized and understood by a person skilled in the art. The terms “plane” and “surface” may mean that the first object may face the second object directly or indirectly. Where a third object is present between the first object and the second object, the first object and the second object may be understood as facing each other but indirectly opposing each other.

[0025] When an element, layer, region, or component is referred to as being "formed," "connected," or "combined" to another element, layer, region, or component, it may be formed directly on the element, layer, region, or component, formed on the other element, layer, region, or component, or indirectly formed, connected, or combined to the other element, layer, region, or component. Additionally, "formed," "connected," or "combined" may collectively refer to direct or indirect combinations or connections of elements, layers, regions, or components, as well as integral or non-integral combinations or connections, so that one or more elements, layers, regions, or components may exist. For example, when an element, layer, region, or component is referred to as being "electrically connected" or "electrically combined" to another element, layer, region, or component, it may be directly electrically connected or combined to the other element, layer, region, or component, or the other element, layer, region, or component may exist. However, the terms "direct connection" or "direct coupling" mean that one component directly connects or combines with another component without an intermediate component, or is located on another component. Furthermore, in this specification, when a part of a layer, film, region, guide plate, etc. is formed on another part, the direction of formation is not limited to the upward direction, but includes cases where the part is formed on the side or bottom. Conversely, when a part of a layer, film, region, guide plate, etc. is formed "below" another part, it includes not only cases where the part is "immediately below" the other part, but also cases where there is another part between the part and the other part. Meanwhile, other expressions describing the relationship between components, such as "between," "immediately between," "adjacent to," and "immediately adjacent to," may be interpreted similarly.Also, when an element or layer is referred to as being "between" two elements or layers, it may be the only element between the two elements or layers, or there may be other elements in between.

[0026] For the purposes of this specification, expressions such as “at least one” or “any one” do not limit the order of individual elements. For example, “at least one of X, Y, and Z”, “at least one of X, Y, or Z”, and “at least one selected from the group consisting of X, Y, and Z” may include X alone, Y alone, Z alone, or any combination of two or more of X, Y, and Z. Similarly, expressions such as “at least one of A and B” and “at least one of A or B” may include A, B, or A and B. In this specification, the term “and / or” generally includes any combination of one or more related list items. For example, expressions such as “A and / or B” may include A, B, or A and B.

[0027] Terms such as "first," "second," "third," etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers, and / or sections, but such elements, components, regions, layers, and / or sections are not limited by these terms. These terms are used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or section from another element, component, region, layer, or section. Accordingly, the first element, component, region, layer, or section described below may be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer, or section without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Describing an element as the "first" element does not require or imply the existence of the second element or other elements. Terms such as "first," "second," etc. may also be used herein to distinguish different categories or sets of elements. For clarity, terms such as "first," "second," etc. may each denote "first category (or first set)," "second category (or second set)," etc.

[0028] The terms used in this application are used merely to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the invention. As used herein, singular expressions are intended to include plural expressions, and plural expressions are intended to include the singular form unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The terms “include,” “comprising,” and “have” mean to specify the presence of the features, integers, and steps specified herein. These expressions do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other functions, steps, operations, components, and / or groups thereof.

[0029] Where one or more embodiments may be implemented differently, a specific process sequence may be performed differently from the described order. For example, two processes described consecutively may be performed substantially simultaneously or in the reverse order of the described order.

[0030] The terms “substantially,” “about,” “approximately,” and similar terms are used as terms of approximation rather than terms of degree, and mean satisfying the range of implied deviation of the measured or calculated value (e.g., the range of deviation due to the limitations of the measurement system). For example, “about” may mean within one or more standard deviations or within ±30%, 20%, 10%, or 5% of the specified value.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with that meaning in the context of the relevant technology and / or this specification, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless explicitly defined herein.

[0032] An emergency escape system (1) of a transport equipment according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.

[0033] FIG. 1 is a drawing showing an emergency escape system (1) of transport equipment according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0034] The emergency escape system (1) of the transport equipment is a system that assists in emergency escape when the equipment malfunctions or sinks during water operation or maneuvering of the transport equipment (V).

[0035] Transport equipment (V) may include all vehicles related to water. Transport equipment (V) may include combat equipment such as tanks, self-propelled guns, and amphibious armored vehicles, as well as civilian transport equipment such as passenger ships and amphibious buses. Transport equipment (V) may include equipment that performs water maneuvers such as wading, crossing, and landing, as well as wing-in-ground effect vehicles or aircraft that take off or land on water.

[0036] Referring to FIG. 1, the emergency escape system (1) of the transport equipment may include an escape path guide (100), a low voltage detection unit (200), an escape time detection unit (300), an output unit (400), an emergency power supply unit (500), and a control unit (600).

[0037] The escape route guide (100) can serve to select and guide an escape exit appropriate to the current situation when escape from the transport equipment (V) is required. The escape route guide (100) may include a direction measuring unit (110). The direction measuring unit (110) can measure the direction in which the transport equipment (V) is overturned or flipped over based on gravity.

[0038] In one embodiment, the direction measuring unit (110) may include a direction recognition sensor such as a gravity sensor or a 6-axis gyroscope sensor. The direction measuring unit (110) can recognize six directions to determine whether the transport equipment (V) is in a situation where it is not overturned or flipped over, a situation where it is flipped forward, a situation where it is flipped backward, a situation where it is flipped to the left, a situation where it is flipped to the right, or a situation where it is flipped over.

[0039] By continuously measuring the direction of the overturned or flipped transport equipment (V) through the direction measuring unit (110), the escape path guide unit (100) can continuously select an escape exit as the direction of the overturned transport equipment (V) changes.

[0040] The escape route guide unit (100) can be electrically connected to the control unit (600) to be described later. The escape route guide unit (100) can convert the selected escape exit into an electrical signal and transmit it to the control unit (600).

[0041] The method by which the escape route guide (100) selects the escape exit is described later.

[0042] The low voltage detection unit (200) can check the low voltage state of the transport equipment (V). A low voltage state refers to a situation in which the main devices of the transport equipment (V) do not operate within a normal range because a problem occurs in the power system or power generation system of the transport equipment (V), preventing the generation of the voltage required for the operation of the transport equipment (V). When a low voltage state occurs, the engine or drainage pump, which are the main devices of the transport equipment (V), do not operate, which can cause problems such as sinking.

[0043] In one embodiment, a low voltage state refers to a state in which the voltage of the transport equipment (V) becomes lower than or equal to a first voltage. The first voltage is the minimum voltage magnitude at which the main devices of the transport equipment (V) can operate within a normal range. The low voltage detection unit (200) may include a voltage measuring unit (210). The voltage measuring unit (210) can measure the voltage of the transport equipment (V).

[0044] The low voltage detection unit (200) can be electrically connected to the control unit (600) to be described later. The low voltage detection unit (200) can convert whether it is in a low voltage state into an electrical signal and transmit it to the control unit (600).

[0045] The escape time detection unit (300) can indicate when escape is required in the event of sinking or flooding. The time when escape is required refers to the time when the transport equipment (V) sinks or floods beyond a certain level and becomes unrecoverable. The time when escape is required may include cases where water fills the transport equipment (V) above a first water level.

[0046] The first water level refers to a water level at which the amount of water flowing into the transport equipment (V) cannot be handled by the drainage pump of the transport equipment (V). The first water level can be determined in advance by considering the number of drainage pumps, the discharge volume of the drainage pumps, the internal area of ​​the transport equipment (V), etc.

[0047] The escape point detection unit (300) may include a water level measuring unit (310). In one embodiment, the water level measuring unit (310) may include a rain sensor or a water recognition sensor. The water level measuring unit (310) may be positioned at a distance of a first water level from the bottom of the transport equipment (V).

[0048] The escape time detection unit (300) can be electrically connected to the control unit (600) to be described later. The escape time detection unit (300) can transmit an electrical signal to the control unit (600) when escape is required.

[0049] The output unit (400) can visually inform the occupant of a selected escape exit. The output unit (400) can inform the occupant of a low voltage state and that it is time to escape. The output unit (400) may include a visual display unit (410) and a noise generating unit (420).

[0050] The visual display unit (410) can visually indicate the location of the escape exit, whether the voltage is low, and whether escape is necessary. The visual display unit (410) may include a lighting element. In one embodiment, the lighting element may include an LED light with a waterproof function. The visual display unit (410) may include an escape exit indicator and other guidance indicators.

[0051] The escape exit indicator may be installed adjacent to each of the entrances (E) within the transport equipment (V). In one embodiment, the escape exit indicator may include red as the color when illuminated (see FIGS. 4 to 6). Red has excellent visibility even in water and has a low degree of outward spreading. Accordingly, it is possible to effectively inform the occupant of the escape exit while simultaneously preventing the risk of exposure to external enemies.

[0052] Other guidance displays can visually indicate whether a low voltage state exists and when escape is required. Other guidance displays may be installed within the passenger's line of sight when the passenger boards the transport equipment (V). In one embodiment, other guidance displays may be provided with a separate display indicating whether a low voltage state exists and a display indicating when escape is required. In another embodiment, other guidance displays may provide guidance by distinguishing between the two cases by displaying different colors corresponding to whether a low voltage state exists or when escape is required on a single display.

[0053] The noise generating unit (420) can generate noise of a magnitude greater than a predetermined level when in a low-voltage state or when escape is required. In one embodiment, the noise generating unit (420) can generate noise greater than the operating noise during the operation of the transport equipment (V). Accordingly, the passenger can perceive the generated noise even while the transport equipment (V) is in operation.

[0054] In one embodiment, the noise generating unit (420) may generate a buzzer sound. In this case, the noise generating unit (420) may generate different buzzer sounds corresponding to a low voltage state or a time when escape is required, thereby distinguishing between the two cases and providing guidance.

[0055] In another embodiment, the noise generating unit (420) may play a pre-recorded human voice, such as "It is in a low voltage state" or "Discard the equipment and escape."

[0056] The output unit (400) may be electrically connected to the control unit (600) to be described later. The output unit (400) may receive an electrical signal from the control unit (600). The output unit (400) may be controlled by the control unit (600).

[0057] The emergency power supply unit (500) can supply power to the escape path guide unit (100), low voltage detection unit (200), escape time detection unit (300), output unit (400), and control unit (600) to be described later when the power supply from the main power supply unit of the existing transport equipment (V) is cut off due to a low voltage state, sinking, or flooding.

[0058] In one embodiment, the emergency power supply unit (500) may include a battery. The power supply capacity of the emergency power supply unit (500) may vary depending on the purpose of the transport equipment (V) or normal operating conditions. In one embodiment, if it takes approximately one hour for a rescue ship to be dispatched and to rescue the occupants in the event of sinking or flooding of the transport equipment (V) during landing training, the power supply capacity of the emergency power supply unit (500) may be sufficient to maintain the operation of the transport equipment's emergency escape system (1) for one hour, or more.

[0059] The emergency power supply unit (500) can be electrically connected to the control unit (600) to be described later. The emergency power supply unit (500) can be operated by the control unit (600). When operated, the emergency power supply unit (500) can supply power to the control unit (600).

[0060] The control unit (600) can control the emergency escape system (1) of the transport equipment overall. The control unit (600) can be electrically connected to the escape path guide unit (100), the low voltage detection unit (200), the escape time detection unit (300), the output unit (400), and the emergency power supply unit (500).

[0061] The control unit (600) can receive information regarding a selected escape exit from the escape path guide unit (100) and operate the escape exit display unit of the output unit (400). The control unit (600) can receive information regarding whether a low voltage state is detected from the low voltage detection unit (200) and, if a low voltage state is detected, operate the time display unit (410) and the noise generating unit (420) of the output unit (400). The control unit (600) can receive information regarding the time when escape is required from the escape time detection unit (300) and, if it is the time when escape is required, operate the time display unit (410) and the noise generating unit (420) of the output unit (400).

[0062] FIG. 2 is a drawing showing an example of a transport equipment (V) with an emergency escape system (1) according to embodiments of the present disclosure applied, viewed from the front. FIG. 3 is a drawing showing an example of a transport equipment (V) with an emergency escape system (1) according to embodiments of the present disclosure applied, viewed from the rear. FIG. 4 is a drawing showing an example of the operating state of an output unit (400) according to embodiments of the present disclosure when the transport equipment (V) of FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 sinks without tipping over or overturning. FIG. 5 is a drawing showing an example of the operating state of an output unit (400) according to embodiments of the present disclosure when the transport equipment (V) of FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 sinks in an overturned state. FIG. 6 is a drawing showing an example of the operating state of an output unit (400) according to embodiments of the present disclosure when the transport equipment (V) of FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 sinks in a tipped state to the right.

[0063] The method by which the escape route guide (100) selects an escape exit may be as follows. The escape route guide (100) may guide at least one of the multiple exits (E) as an escape exit when the transport equipment (V) is overturned or flipped over, based on the direction of overturning or flipping and the direction in which the hatch (H) is opened.

[0064] Referring to FIGS. 2 and FIGS. 3, an example is described as follows. FIGS. 2 and FIGS. 3 illustrate an amphibious armored vehicle, which is an embodiment of a transport vehicle (V). Referring to FIGS. 2, the transport vehicle (V) may include a first entrance (E1), a second entrance (E2), a third entrance (E3), a fourth entrance (E4), and a fifth entrance (E5).

[0065] The first hatch (H1) of the first entrance (E1) and the second hatch (H2) of the second entrance (E2) may open in the rear direction. The third hatch (H3) of the third entrance (E3) may open in the right direction. The fourth hatch (H4) of the fourth entrance (E4) may open in the left direction. The fifth hatch (H5) of the fifth entrance (E5) may open in the right direction when viewed from the rear of the transport equipment (V) that is not overturned or flipped over, as shown in FIG. 3.

[0066] In the event that the transport equipment (V) sinks without tipping over or overturning, the first entrance (E1), second entrance (E2), third entrance (E3), and fourth entrance (E4) located at the top of the transport equipment (V) can be selected as escape entrances because they are in the opposite direction of sinking. The fifth entrance (E5) located at the bottom of the transport equipment (V) can also be selected as an escape entrance because it is not in the direction of sinking and is not obstructed by gravity when opening the fifth hatch (H5). That is, the escape entrances can include the first entrance (E1), second entrance (E2), third entrance (E3), fourth entrance (E4), and fifth entrance (E5).

[0067] The output unit (400), which receives such information from the control unit (600), can illuminate the escape exit indicator installed adjacent to the first exit (not shown), the second exit (not shown), the third exit (E3), the fourth exit (E4), and the fifth exit (E5), as shown in FIG. 4, to notify the occupant of the escape exit.

[0068] In the event that the transport equipment (V) sinks in an overturned state, the first entrance (E1), second entrance (E2), third entrance (E3), and fourth entrance (E4) located at the top of the transport equipment (V) cannot be selected as escape entrances because they are in the direction of sinking. The fifth entrance (E5) located at the bottom of the transport equipment (V) can be selected as an escape entrance because it is not in the direction of sinking and is not obstructed by gravity when opening the fifth hatch (H5). That is, only the fifth entrance (E5) can be included as an escape entrance.

[0069] The output unit (400), having received such information from the control unit (600), can light up the escape exit indicator installed adjacent to the fifth exit (E5) as shown in FIG. 5 to notify the occupant of the escape exit.

[0070] When the transport equipment (V) sinks while tilted to the right, the third hatch (H3) of the third entrance (E3) and the fifth hatch (H5) of the fifth entrance (E5) can be easily opened by gravity because the opening direction is the same as the sinking direction. Therefore, the escape entrance may include the third entrance (E3) and the fifth entrance (E5).

[0071] The output unit (400), having received such information from the control unit (600), can light up the escape exit indicator installed adjacent to the third exit (E3) and the fifth exit (E5), as shown in FIG. 6, to notify the occupant of the escape exit.

[0072] FIG. 7 is a drawing showing an example of a main body kit (700) according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0073] As an example, the emergency escape system (1) of the transport equipment may be implemented in the form of a main body kit (700). Referring to FIG. 7, the main body kit (700) may include a power connection part (710), a water level measurement part connection part (720), an escape exit / exit indicator part connection part (730), other guidance indicator part (740), a noise generating part (750), an emergency power supply status indicator part (760), an escape time indicator part (770), a tipping or overturning direction indicator part (780), and a manual selection part (790).

[0074] The power connection part (710) can be connected to the main power supply part of the transport equipment (V) to receive power. The water level measurement part connection part (720) is positioned at the bottom of the main body kit (700) and can be connected to the water level measurement part (310) positioned at a distance of the first water level from the bottom of the transport equipment (V). The escape exit indicator part connection part (730) can be connected to the escape exit indicator positioned adjacent to each exit (E).

[0075] The other guidance display unit (740) is the time display unit (410) of the aforementioned output unit (400) and can indicate the low voltage state and the time when escape is required by illuminating.
