Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an aquatic rescue vehicle, in particular of the type with automatic or semi-automatic operation and without on-board pilot.
  • object of the present invention us solving the above prior art problems, by providing an aquatic rescue vehicle, indifferently for recoveries from braches, in open sea, in rivers, lakes and after floods, which can, autonomously and without on-board pilot, be taken in the recovery area of the person to be saved and take care of loading such person even if he is unconscious or, anyway, incapable of offering an actual cooperation.
  • an object of the present invention is providing an aquatic rescue vehicle that can advance also under water during the steps of searching and reaching the person to be recovered, allowing, with respect to the dislocating advancement, an increase of the advancement speed and a reduction of resistance to motion, above all in case of adverse weather-marine surface conditions.
  • Another object of the present invention is providing an aquatic rescue vehicle, which is able to emerge the person to be recovered from a depth upwards, in a horizontal position, allowing to avoid possible hearth failures.
  • an object of the present invention is providing an aquatic rescue vehicle which is particularly lightweight and with small inertial moments, which is therefore easily controllable.
  • the aquatic rescue vehicle 1 of at least one person immersed into water is composed of at least one multi-hull structure 2 comprising at least one first and one second hull, respectively 3a and 3b, such hulls 3a, 3b being preferably arranged longitudinally with respect to an advancement direction of such vehicle 1 under a catamaran configuration, such as starboard hull 3a and port hull 3b, at least one supporting structure 5 of such person being arranged between such hulls 3a, 3b, such vehicle 1 further comprising forward propulsive means 7 and depth changing means 9.
  • the propulsive means 7 can comprise a different propulsion system for every hull 3a, 3b, independently controlled one from the other, in order to be able to control the vehicle 1 yaw by intervening on the propulsive force of a single motor.
  • the types of propulsive means 7 can be several: in particular, as it is possible to note in the Figures, the propulsive means 7 can comprise two propeller propulsion systems 11a, 11b, each one of which is placed in a stern part of its respective hull 3a, 3b. Obviously, each one of the propellers is rotated by at least one motor, for example with electric supply, by interposing a suitable kinematic transmission chain. In a preferred alternative, the propulsive means 7 can comprise water jet propulsion systems.
  • the vehicle 1 will further comprise directional means comprising, for example, a rudder with vertical axis or orientation-changing means for the propulsion system, and in particular for the propeller or the water jet.
  • the vehicle according to the present invention can be moved both in dislocation (being equipped with ad hydrostatic thrust that allows it to remain surfacing) and under water due to its depth changing means 9.
  • the types of depth changing means 9 can be very different without however departing from the scope of the present invention.
  • the depth changing means 9 can comprise at least one immersion chamber 13 arranged inside each hull 3a, 3b and respective fixtures, comprising for example reversible electric pumps, aimed to fill and empty such chamber 13 to perform immersion, emersion and adjust the immersion depth of the vehicle 1: each hull 3a, 3b is further equipped with appendixes 15 arranged at the ends of the immersion chambers 13 inside which the on-board components are arranged.
  • the depth changing means 9 can comprise at least one immersion chamber 19 arranged along each hull 3a, 3b, each one of such chambers 19 being arranged only next to a substantially central part of the respective hull 3a, 3b, obtaining great advantages in terms of reduction of the inertial moment of the vehicle 1.
  • the appendixes 15 for storing the components are arranged at the ends of each hull 3a, 3b.
  • the depth changing means 9 can comprise portions 21 with variable volume arranged along each one of such hulls 3a, 3b: the vehicle 1 attitude is then adjusted by changing the section of the portions 21 with variable volume.
  • Figure 3a shows the vehicle 1 according to the present invention in which the portions 21 with variable volume have a reduced volume to allow immerging the vehicle 1
  • Figure 3b shows the vehicle 1 according to the present invention in which the portions 21 with variable volume have an increased volume to allow emerging the vehicle 1.
  • the appendixes 15 for storing the components are arranged at the ends of each hull 3a, 3b.
  • the depth changing means 9 can comprise inflatable/deflatable chambers 23 whose inflation for emerging ( Figure 4b ) and whose deflation for immerging ( Figure 4a ) allow changing the attitude of the vehicle 1 according to the present invention: in particular, such chambers 23 are arranged along each respective hull 3a, 3b and are inflated with a fluid, for example compressed air, contained inside at least one tank arranged inside at least one of such hulls 3a, 3b. Below the hulls 3a, 3b, two appendixes 25 allow storing the on-board components. Each one of such appendixes 25 is further equipped with at least one snorkel 27 to exhaust the vacuum generator, stored inside such appendixes 25.
  • a fluid for example compressed air
  • the depth changing means 9 can comprise at least one immersion chamber 29 arranged inside each hull 3a, 3b and at least vertical propulsion means 31 composed, for example, of at least one propeller 33 with vertical rotation axis: the vehicle 1 attitude is then regulated by emptying the immersion chambers 29, and by actuating the vertical propellers 33.
  • the immersion chambers there are as many appendixes 15 for storing the components.
  • the propellers 33 are preferably protected by a cage, while the immersion chambers 29 are connected two by two by a tubular structure 35.
  • the depth changing means 9 can comprise at least one rear diving rudder 37 and at least one front diving rudder so that the attitude of the vehicle 1 according to the present invention is regulated by slanting such front and rear rudders.
  • the hulls 3a, 3b allow at least storing the battery packs 39, while the four appendixes 41 below them contain the motors for moving the rudders and advancing the vehicle 1.
  • the vehicle 1 further comprises driving means cooperating with the forward propulsive means 7 and the depth changing means 9 to control the operation and navigation of the vehicle 1, as well as the movements performed thereby to recover the person in water.
  • the driving means comprise at least geo-positioning means, such as for example an GPS emitter/receiver system, to be able to be interfaced with the standard global system for managing emergency and danger signals, and allow the vehicle 1 to be traceable by a remote operator or by the driving means themselves.
  • the vehicle 1 according to the present invention is therefore able to operate also when the person in difficulty to be recovered is capable of sending a GPS signal: this obviously does not imply that the vehicle 1 cannot be used for searching lost people, not equipped with any traceability device.
  • the driving means can comprise and cooperate with various sensors present on board, as well as at least one video-camera that operates with the help of lights, above and below the water surface.
  • the driving means are controlled by a tele-operation system substantially known in the art: in particular, such tele-operation system is a mobile tele-handling device, used for high risk operations, composed of a receiving station housed inside a floating structure connected through a rigid cable to the vehicle 1.
  • the command signal cables run parallel to the rigid cable, and are the reference for the drivers of the various actuators.
  • the applications of the vehicle 1 according to the present invention are numerous and, for example, it can be used as automatic or semi-automatic rescue means as equipment in boats, for surveying coast areas and lakes, as help of intervention forces in case of natural calamities.
