Description

A new type of vehicle-into-water emergency escape and snorkeling recreation device Technical Field

[0001] A new type of vehicle submersion emergency escape and snorkeling entertainment device is involved in the production and manufacturing of vehicle submersion emergency escape equipment and swimming and snorkeling entertainment equipment, as well as the production and manufacturing of vehicle headrest cushions. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the fields of water rescue and escape products and swimming and snorkeling products, the dry breathing structure products used for choking prevention mostly employ a technology that uses floats to block the air intake. Moreover, cars are an important means of transportation, and sudden car accidents into water are not uncommon. Due to the low design, manufacturing, and availability of emergency escape products for cars falling into water, the injuries caused by such accidents are extremely serious. Furthermore, to alleviate driver and passenger fatigue, car seats are made of soft padding for comfort, and people also carry soft cushions such as headrests, lumbar pillows, bolsters, and backrests in their cars to relieve fatigue when in use. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a novel device for emergency escape from a car falling into water, and it is also suitable for swimming and snorkeling recreation.

[0004] The technical solution it adopts is as follows: It has an airbag made of soft, non-breathable fabric, and the inside of the airbag is filled with elastic soft pillow core filling material; a one-way air inlet valve is connected to the upper part of the airbag, a one-way air outlet valve is connected to the bottom of the airbag, there is an air inlet on the airbag, and an air guide tube is connected to the air inlet. One end of the air guide tube extends upward along the inner wall of the airbag to the top of the airbag, and the other end of the air guide tube is connected to a waterproof mouth and nose mask. A one-way air outlet valve is connected to the bottom of the waterproof mouth and nose mask.

[0005] Furthermore, the filling material of a soft pillow can be an elastic frame.

[0006] Furthermore, the airbag may have a one-way air intake valve connected to the upper part and a one-way air exhaust valve connected to the bottom of the airbag. The airbag has an air intake hole located at the top of the airbag and is connected to an air duct located on the outside of the airbag. The other end of the air duct is connected to a waterproof mouth and nose mask, and a one-way air exhaust valve is connected to the bottom of the waterproof mouth and nose mask. The bottom of the airbag is connected to the wearing part of the waterproof mouth and nose mask.

[0007] Furthermore, the one-way exhaust valve can be an opening at the bottom of the airbag.

[0008] Moreover, the airbag is an airbag without a one-way air intake valve and a one-way air exhaust valve; the airbag has an air intake hole, which is connected to an air duct, and the other end of the air duct is connected to a waterproof mouth and nose mask, and a one-way air exhaust valve is connected to the bottom of the waterproof mouth and nose mask.

[0009] Moreover, waterproof mouth and nose masks can also be used as diving masks.

[0010] Furthermore, waterproof mouth and nose masks can be used as breathing mouthpieces for diving.

[0011] Furthermore, the one-way intake valve can be a switchable one-way intake valve, and the one-way exhaust valve can be a switchable one-way exhaust valve.

[0012] Furthermore, the air duct can be connected to a switch valve.

[0013] Furthermore, the airbag can be a semi-closed airbag with an opening at the bottom, and the diving mask is connected to the inside of the opening at the bottom of the airbag.

[0014] Car accidents involving falling into water are sudden events, and timely access to rescue and escape equipment is crucial for successful rescue and escape. The time required to leave the car and surface is relatively short, and the oxygen demand is low. This invention employs a technical solution that connects an automatically inflatable airbag-type soft pillow core to a waterproof mouth and nose mask, a diving mouthpiece, or a diving mask. Its advantages are: it maintains the function of a soft car pillow in relieving driver and passenger fatigue while adhering closely to the body; in addition, it provides timely protection against choking, buoyancy, and short-term oxygen supply in the event of a sudden car accident. Specifically, based on the principle that air always resides at the top of the airbag, the invention utilizes a technical solution where the top of the airbag connects to the waterproof mouth and nose mask air inlet, the upper part of the airbag connects to a one-way air intake valve, and the bottom of the airbag is open to the outside. This provides a novel dry breathing structure for preventing choking while simultaneously providing buoyancy and short-term oxygen supply in water. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Any modifications or substitutions made based on the teachings of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] As shown in Figure 1, a novel emergency escape and snorkeling entertainment device for cars falling into water includes a soft pillow core 1. The soft pillow core 1 is composed of an airbag 11 sealed with soft, non-breathable fabric and filled with elastic soft pillow padding material 12. A one-way air intake valve 111 is connected to the upper part of the airbag 11, and a one-way exhaust valve 112 is connected to the bottom of the airbag 11. An air inlet 13 is located on the airbag 11, and an air guide tube 2 is connected to it. One end of the air guide tube 2 extends upwards along the inner wall of the airbag 11 to the top of the airbag 11, and the other end is connected to a waterproof mouth and nose mask 3. The waterproof mouth and nose mask 3 is connected to a... It has a one-way vent valve 31; the daily new type of car water-falling emergency escape and snorkeling entertainment device is used as a soft core in car headrests, pillows, lumbar pillows, seat cushions or car seat backs, and is covered with a pillowcase, etc., to relieve car driving and riding fatigue while closely adhering to the body of the driver and passengers. In the event of a sudden car falling into water accident, people can get this device immediately, open the pillowcase or other outer packaging, take out the waterproof mouth and nose mask 3 and wear it over their mouth and nose to prevent water from choking. The airbag 11 is filled with soft filling materials such as artificial cotton, so that the airbag 11 is always automatically filled with air, which can provide people with buoyancy and oxygen in the water. After people put on the waterproof mouth and nose mask, After the mask 3 is installed, when there is still air inside the vehicle, this device can provide protection while allowing people to breathe air from outside the airbag 11. When people breathe, air from outside the airbag 11 enters the airbag 11 through the one-way air inlet valve 111 on top of the airbag 11, and then enters the waterproof mouth and nose mask 3 through the air duct 2, providing oxygen for people to perform operations such as opening car doors and breaking windows. In extreme situations where there is no air, such as when the car is full of water after breaking windows and opening car doors, or when people leave the vehicle and float to the surface to escape, this device can provide people with a new type of dry breathing method in water to prevent choking and provide oxygen for breathing, providing buoyancy. In extreme situations where there is no air in water, when people inhale... Water enters the airbag 11 through the one-way air inlet valve 111 at the top of the airbag 11. Since water is denser than air, the water flows to the bottom of the airbag 11 after entering it. The air inside the airbag 11 is always at the top of the airbag 11 and enters the waterproof mouth and nose mask 3 through the air duct 2 at the top of the airbag 11 to supply oxygen to people. When people exhale, the exhaled air enters the airbag 11 through the air duct 2 and the water inhaled during inhalation that is located at the bottom of the airbag 11 is discharged through the one-way exhaust valve 112 connected to the bottom of the airbag 11. When people breathe underwater, the waterproof mouth and nose mask 3 and the top of the airbag 11 are always filled with air and will not allow water to enter, which is a dry breathing structure for diving.Furthermore, the dimensions of the universal cushion are approximately 45cm × 45cm × 7cm, so the airbag 11 has a volume of about 14 liters, providing about 14 liters of air for breathing and about 14 liters of buoyancy for water displacement. In the event of a car accidental submersion in water, it can provide the necessary protection against choking, buoyancy, and oxygen supply for water rescue and escape. After surfacing, one can breathe outside air through the one-way air inlet valve 111 on top of the airbag 11, swim to shore, or await rescue. After surfacing, the waterproof mouth and nose mask 3 can also be removed and used as a flotation device. The one-way air outlet valve 31 at the bottom of the waterproof mouth and nose mask 3 is used to expel water accumulated inside the mask, making it suitable for snorkeling masks and diving masks. This device utilizes methods commonly found in diving equipment to drain internal water; furthermore, when used as the inner core of a car headrest, it can be a dual-airbag structure with interconnected front and rear headrests; moreover, this car water-fall emergency escape and snorkeling entertainment device is also suitable for swimming protection and underwater snorkeling protection; furthermore, the soft pillow core filling material 12 can be an elastic frame composed of N elastic strips of elastic materials such as rubber, used to support the airbag 11, allowing the airbag 11 to inflate automatically; furthermore, the outer pillowcase can be made into various dolls to enhance the water activity entertainment performance; furthermore, the waterproof mouth and nose mask 3 can be a diving mask or a diving breathing mouthpiece; the one-way air intake valve 111 can be an on / off one-way air intake valve, and the one-way exhaust valve 112 can be an on / off one-way exhaust valve.

[0021] As shown in Figure 2, a novel emergency escape and snorkeling recreational device for cars falling into water includes a soft pillow core 1. The soft pillow core 1 is composed of an airbag 11 sealed with soft, non-breathable fabric and filled with elastic soft pillow padding material 12. A one-way air intake valve 111 is connected to the upper part of the airbag 11, and an opening 113 is located at the bottom of the airbag 11. An air inlet 13 is located at the top of the airbag 11 and is connected to an air guide tube 2 located outside the airbag 11. The other end of the air guide tube 2 is connected to a waterproof mouth and nose mask 3, and a one-way air outlet valve 31 is connected below the waterproof mouth and nose mask 3. A wearing accessory for the waterproof mouth and nose mask 3 is connected to the bottom of the airbag 11. This novel emergency escape and snorkeling recreational device for cars falling into water... This emergency escape and snorkeling entertainment device is used as a soft core in car headrests, pillows, lumbar pillows, seat cushions, or car seat backs. The outer layer is covered with a pillowcase, etc., to alleviate driver and passenger fatigue while fitting snugly against the body. In the event of a sudden car accident involving falling into water, people can immediately access this device, open the pillowcase or other outer covering, take out the waterproof mouth and nose mask 3, and wear it over their mouth and nose to prevent water inhalation. The airbag 11 is filled with soft materials such as artificial cotton, ensuring it is always automatically inflated with air, providing buoyancy and oxygen in the water. After wearing the waterproof mouth and nose mask 3, while there is still air inside the car, this device provides protection while allowing people to breathe air from outside the airbag 11. When breathing, the air outside the airbag 11 is drawn through the airbag. The one-way air inlet valve 111 above the airbag 11 allows air to enter the airbag 11, which then flows through the air duct 2 into the waterproof mouth and nose mask 3, providing oxygen for operations such as opening car doors and breaking windows. In extreme situations where there is no air, such as when the car is flooded after a window is broken and the car door is opened, or when people leave the vehicle and need to float to the surface to escape, this device provides a new type of dry underwater breathing method to prevent choking and provides oxygen and buoyancy. In extreme situations where there is no air in the water, when people inhale, water enters the airbag 11 through the one-way air inlet valve 111 at the top of the airbag 11. Because water is denser than air, the water flows towards the bottom of the airbag 11, keeping the air inside the airbag 11 at the top. The air then enters the waterproof mouth and nose mask 3 through the air duct 2 at the top of the airbag 11. The mask 3 provides oxygen to people. When people exhale, the exhaled air enters the airbag 11 through the air duct 2, and the water inhaled during inhalation, located in the lower part of the airbag 11, is expelled from the airbag 11 through the opening 113 at the bottom of the airbag 11. When people breathe underwater, the waterproof mask 3 and the upper part of the airbag 11 are always filled with air and will not allow water to enter, forming a dry breathing structure for diving. This prevents choking on water while providing buoyancy and oxygen. After surfacing, people can breathe outside air through the one-way air inlet valve 111 on the top of the airbag 11 and swim to the shore or wait for rescue. The bottom of the airbag 11 is connected to the wearing part of the waterproof mask 3, which ensures that when the waterproof mask 3 is worn in the water, the one-way air inlet valve 111 and the air inlet 13 are always in the upper position, maintaining the breathing method of upward inhalation and downward exhalation.

[0022] As shown in Figure 3, a novel vehicle-into-water emergency escape and snorkeling entertainment device includes a soft pillow core 1, which is a semi-closed airbag 11 with a lower opening, sealed by a soft, non-breathable fabric. The airbag 11 is filled with an elastic soft pillow filling material 12. A one-way air inlet valve 111 is connected to the upper part of the airbag 11, and a diving mask 4 is connected to the inner side of the lower opening of the airbag 11. The diving mask 4 has a wearing accessory 41 connected to the lower opening of the airbag 11, and a duct 2 is connected to the diving mask 4. The duct 2 extends along the inner wall of the airbag 11 to the top of the airbag 11, and a one-way air outlet valve 31 is connected to the lower part of the diving mask 4. This new type of everyday car submersion emergency escape and snorkeling entertainment device can be used as a soft core in car headrests, pillows, lumbar pillows, seat cushions, or car seat backs. The outer layer is covered with a pillowcase, etc., to alleviate driver and passenger fatigue while fitting snugly against the body. In the event of a sudden car submersion accident, people can immediately access this device, open the pillowcase or other outer covering, take out the diving mask 4 and wear it on their face. The head is enclosed within a semi-enclosed airbag 11, preventing water inhalation. The transparent lenses of the diving mask allow for observation of the external situation. The airbag 11 is filled with soft materials such as sponge and cotton, ensuring it is always automatically inflated with air. This device provides buoyancy and oxygen to people in the water. After people put on their diving masks 4, when there is still air inside the vehicle, this device can protect them while allowing them to breathe air from outside the airbag 11. When people breathe, air from outside the airbag 11 enters the airbag 11 through the one-way air inlet valve 111 on top of the airbag 11, and the air duct 2 enters the diving mask 4, providing oxygen for operations such as opening car doors and breaking windows. In extreme situations where there is no air, such as when the vehicle is full of water after breaking windows and opening car doors, or when people leave the vehicle and try to escape into the water, this device can provide people with a new type of dry breathing method in the water to prevent choking and provide oxygen for breathing, as well as buoyancy. In the extreme case of no air, when people inhale, water enters the airbag 11 through the one-way air inlet valve 111 at the top of the airbag 11. Since water is denser than air, the water flows to the lower part of the airbag 11 after entering the airbag 11. The air inside the airbag 11 is always at the top of the airbag 11 and enters the diving mask 4 through the air duct 2 at the top of the airbag 11 to supply oxygen to people. When people exhale, the exhaled air enters the airbag 11 through the air duct 2, and the water inhaled during inhalation that is located at the bottom of the airbag 11 is discharged from the bottom of the semi-closed airbag 11. When people breathe underwater, the diving mask 4 and the upper part of the airbag 11 are always filled with air and will not allow water to enter, which is a dry breathing structure for diving.
