Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle waterproof cover that provides evacuation facilities for tsunamis and storm surges.

  In recent years, huge earthquakes have frequently occurred in various parts of the world. The storm surge caused by the impact of global warming or the occurrence of massive typhoons and hurricanes also causes major damage. The storm surge is a phenomenon in which the sea level becomes abnormally higher than usual due to strong winds and changes in atmospheric pressure caused by typhoons and low pressures, and is also called “wind tsunami” or “storm tsunami”. In contrast, “tsunami” is also called “earthquake tsunami”.

  Trench-type earthquakes that occur at the bottom of the ocean, especially among giant earthquakes, cause huge tsunamis. In Japan, the Pacific coastal area exists along the belt-like part where a subduction-zone earthquake may occur, and the Pacific coastal area of Japan is always in danger of a huge tsunami. It is a fact.

  Tsunamis and storm surges destroy buildings on the ground by pushing waves and drink things on the ground (people, cars, etc.) and pull them into the sea by pulling waves. In addition, a large wave from the sea has a greater movement in the direction of travel as its height increases, but even when the height is about the position of a person's knee, the energy to swallow the person into the wave have. A tsunami is expressed as a wave, but it is actually a lump of seawater, so it does not shatter and is larger than its energy.

  The arrival speed of the tsunami generated near the coast is said to reach the first wave within several tens of minutes (for example, between about 5 minutes and about 30 minutes) from the time of the earthquake. Moreover, it is said that the tsunami goes up to the inland at a height several times higher than the sea level.

Therefore, in the event of an earthquake, not only the people in the coastal area but also those in areas that are in contact with the coastal area and where the sea level is not so high expects that the tsunami will strike, It is necessary to evacuate as high as possible. However, it is difficult for elderly people, patients admitted to hospitals, small children in nurseries and elementary schools, etc. to evacuate to high ground far away from the coast in a short time. As the number increases, the time required for evacuation becomes longer. In addition, when there is no hill nearby, it is difficult not only for the elderly, children, sick people, and other weak people but also for adults to escape from the tsunami attack in a short time.

  A technology that provides safe facilities during the short time required to secure a safe place in a short time, and prevents it from being swallowed by the tsunami and also being pulled into the sea by the tsunami. Proposed.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a tsunami capsule having a spherical capsule and a chair and a bed inside. Patent Document 2 discloses that a spherical shape is supported by a gimbal structure to ensure stability during rotation.

  Patent Document 3 discloses a technique in which a tsunami shelter that can be moved up and down sandwiched between steel guides moves to the top of the guide when a tsunami arrives to rescue a person inside. Patent Document 4 discloses an invention in which a ship capable of accommodating a large number of people connected to a pile designated on the ground is used as a tsunami shelter.

  To evacuate from the tsunami and storm surges, including sick and elderly people, moving from the place where they live normally to the evacuation facility is a major problem. In order to reduce the travel time, an evacuation facility may be prepared in the immediate vicinity of the place where people usually live, but it is often difficult to secure a location for the evacuation facility. In addition, there is a problem that a considerable cost is incurred in preparing evacuation facilities.
