Description

DESCRIPTION

Autonomous diving equipment with umbilical.

The object of the present invention is an autonomous umbilical diving equipment, that is to say that of supplying surface air to the diver, it consists of a sealed and floating vessel where a compressor, an electric accumulator, a pressure switch, a valve are housed inside non-return, connection tubes and the electronics necessary for its operation and battery charging.

 10

The float vessel, whose design is the main differentiating element of the equipment with similar performance, consists of a sealed hollow ring that acts as a compressed air tank where the compressor that has taken the air passed through an atmosphere filter is installed, injects it in the aforementioned tank and is available for use by the diver through a hose that is connected to a 15 Standard diving regulator, modified for the pressure at which it must work.

Technical sector

Umbilical immersion equipment is known, that is, a 20-surface air supply consisting of a compressor that takes the air from the environment and supplies it to the diver at the necessary pressure, there are more or less bulky with the compressor driven by explosion or electric motor and of installation on land by boat or floating, of these floating and dragged by the diver, all of them require a separate tank where the air is reserved to be consumed by the diver those who do not carry this deposit produce annoying strokes being very uncomfortable to breathe with them, this is where the present equipment differs, because the tank, float and container of the mechanisms is a single piece, getting less weight, being a compact set and easy transport and use, the equipment Complete is easily transported with the built-in handle carrying it with one hand. 30

Background of the invention

Similar diving systems with surface air intake and low pressure are known, among the many that are listed 2 for being the closest similar found: 35

Explanation of the invention.

The proposed invention consists of an autonomous diving device with surface air intake, which is formed by a floating body that performs the function of a container and accumulator of low pressure air, solving the ability to have the container separately where the mechanisms, the float and the air accumulator bottle are installed, surpassing equipment of similar performance in lightness, manageability, compactness and that the set comprises:

 fifteen

.- A compressor.

.- A small cooling fan.

.- An electric accumulator. twenty

.- A pressure switch, responsible for running and stopping the compressor on demand for air.

.- A non-return valve to keep the air in the tank.

 25

.- A vessel that performs the float function, where all components are installed and performs the function of low pressure air accumulator (max 2.5 bar).

.- A filter, whose function is the elimination of any type of particles or impurities that the air can contain, so that it reaches the diver clean; 30

.- A hose that is connected to the float, tank, air accumulator.

.- A scuba regulator connected to the modified hose for the pressure at which it must work 35

.- A harness where the regulator hose is attached to drag the surface equipment comfortably.
