Abstract

It is a system of emergency flotation for vehicles that prevents the collapse of these in the case of floods or accidents in the vicinity of water. It consists of floats located at the bottom of the vehicle that are inflated by gas or by a compressor, the latter powered by the battery of the vehicle or by another emergency. This compressor acts upon receiving the signal from flood sensors. All controlled by a processor (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

Description

DESCRIPCIÓNDESCRIPTION

Sistema de flotación de emergencia para vehículos.Emergency flotation system for vehicles.

La presente invención se refiere a un sistema de flotación de acción automática en presencia de agua en el supuesto momento en que un vehículo se ve arrastrado por una riera, caída a un río o al mar.The present invention refers to a flotation system of automatic action in the presence of water in the supposed moment when a vehicle is dragged by a stream, falling to a river or the sea.

Antecedentes de la invenciónBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Nos encontramos en una situación climatológica donde periódicamente se producen episodios de lluvias fuertes tras largos períodos de sequía. Este hecho provoca inundaciones en rieras y zonas que se han adecuado como pasos y aparcamientos habituales de vehículos.We are in a climatological situation where episodes of heavy rains periodically occur after long periods of drought. This fact causes floods in streams and areas that have been adapted as usual steps and car parks.

En la mayoría de los casos de inundaciones los servicios climatológicos dan diversos avisos de peligro pare les es muy complicado localizar la zona o población que se verá afectada por la tormenta. Este hecho provoca que los habitantes y usuarios de zonas de riesgo no sean conscientes del verdadero peligro y continúan con sus hábitos.In most cases of flooding, the climatological services give different warning of danger. It is very complicated to locate the area or population that will be affected by the storm. This fact causes that the inhabitants and users of risk areas are not aware of the real danger and continue with their habits.

Esta falta de concreción en el momento de definir la zona que se verá afectada por las inundaciones y la poca sensibilidad por parte de los usuarios de estas zonas de riesgo genera un peligro de coste elevado, tanto para las compañías de seguros como para los mismos usuarios. En muchas ocasiones la vida de estos está en grave peligro cuando van a buscar sus vehículos o incluso circulando al atravesar rieras, pasos que pueden inundarse o incluso en una travesía sin mucha complicación la caída accidental a un río.This lack of specificity at the time of defining the area that will be affected by the floods and the low sensitivity on the part of the users of these risk areas generates a danger of high cost, both for the insurance companies and for the users themselves . In many occasions the life of these is in serious danger when they go to look for their vehicles or even circulating when going through streams, steps that can be flooded or even in a passage without much complication the accidental fall to a river.

Descripción de la invenciónDescription of the invention

Para evitar estas situaciones se propone un sistema de flotabilidad de acción rápida controlada por sistemas de detección de inundaciones, brújula electrónica y sistema de detección de vibraciones.To avoid these situations, a rapid action buoyancy system controlled by flood detection systems, electronic compass and vibration detection system is proposed.

Este sistema controlado por procesador combina tres sistemas de sensores para detectar la inundación. Esta detección acciona un sistema de flotación oculto en el vehículo para que éste no se inunde y se mantenga por encima del nivel del agua.This processor-controlled system combines three sensor systems to detect flooding. This detection activates a hidden flotation system in the vehicle so that it does not flood and remains above the water level.

El sistema de flotación se basa en un conjunto de flotadores fabricados en plástico, PVC, neopreno, de un volumen reducido cuando se encuentra recogido en los laterales del vehículo. Estos se inflan mediante gas en bombonas o mediante compresor eléctrico alimentado por batería auxiliar o la propia batería del vehículo.The flotation system is based on a set of floats made of plastic, PVC, neoprene, of a reduced volume when it is collected on the sides of the vehicle. These are inflated by gas in cylinders or by electric compressor powered by auxiliary battery or the vehicle's own battery.

Los sensores se basan en una boya de acción por flotación. Cuando el agua supera un nivel máximo permitido, nivel de alerta, el sensor cierra el contacto activando la señal en el sistema de control.The sensors are based on a float action buoy. When the water exceeds a maximum allowed level, alert level, the sensor closes the contact activating the signal in the control system.

Para evitar falsas alarmas es necesaria la acción de más de tres sensores durante un tiempo de acción superior a 10 seg.To avoid false alarms, the action of more than three sensors is necessary for an action time longer than 10 sec.
