［産業上の利用分野コ
この発明は、−船舶、航空機などが海上で遭難または不

せる救難信号発信ブイに関するものである。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Fields] This invention is applicable to - When a ship, an aircraft, etc. is in distress or makes an emergency landing at sea, a person in distress can throw it into the sea to inform a rescue team of the location of the disaster. This relates to a distress signal transmitting buoy that floats on the sea surface and transmits a distress signal.
［従来の技術］
従来、航空機などで広く使用されている救難信号発信ブ
イの一つとして、トーン信号によって変調された電波を
発信して救助者に位置を知らせる方式のものかある。[Prior Art] Conventionally, one type of distress signal transmitting buoy widely used in aircraft and the like is one that transmits radio waves modulated by a tone signal to inform rescuers of the location.

路がＯＮとなり、バッテリ（］）から装装置体に電源が
供給され、トーン信号によって変調された電波が送信機
（９）からアンテナ（１０）を経て発信される。When a person in distress throws a buoy into the sea, the water landing determination circuit (2) and system control circuit (3) turn on the power supply circuit, and power is supplied from the battery (]) to the equipment body, and a tone signal is emitted. Radio waves modulated by the transmitter (9) are transmitted via the antenna (10).
このブイの捜索は、救助者によって、トーン信号で変調
された電波の発信方向を、方向探知機を用いて探知する
ことにより行われており、従って、この方式のものは、
捜索に時間がかかる欠点がある。The search for this buoy is carried out by rescuers by using a direction finder to detect the direction of transmission of radio waves modulated by tone signals.
The disadvantage is that searching takes time.
また、このような欠点を補うなめに、船体に固定されて
搭載され、常時船内の航法装置から緯度経度座標を入力
しており、遭難時自動的に船体から離脱して着水し、海
面上に浮かんで遭難時の位置座標を発信し続ける方式の
救難信号発信ブイも開発されている。In order to compensate for these shortcomings, the system is fixed to the ship's hull and constantly inputs the latitude and longitude coordinates from the ship's navigation system.In the event of a distress, the system automatically detaches from the ship's hull, lands on the water, and returns to the surface of the sea. A distress signal transmitting buoy has also been developed that floats on the ground and continuously transmits location coordinates at the time of distress.
しかし、この方式のブイでは、遭難位置を直ちに知らせ
ることができるが、遭難者とブイが、風や潮流などで流
された場合に、流されて移動してしまっても発信する位
置座標は遭難時の座標位置のままとなり、実際の遭難者
の位置と異なることになり、捜索活動に支障をきたす恐
れがある。However, although this type of buoy can immediately notify the location of a person in distress, if the person in distress and the buoy are blown away by wind or current, the position coordinates transmitted will not be transmitted even if the person and the buoy are blown away and moved. The coordinates at the time of the accident will remain the same, which may differ from the actual location of the person in distress, which may hinder search efforts.
また、この方式のブイでは、遭難時離脱するまで固定し
ておく装置および常時船内の航法装置から位置座標を入
力する制御機構が必要となり、装置が大型化し、航空機
や小型船での使用には適さない。In addition, this type of buoy requires a device to keep it fixed until it is released in the event of a distress, and a control mechanism that constantly inputs position coordinates from the navigation device inside the ship, making the device large and unsuitable for use on aircraft or small ships. Not suitable.
［発明が解決しようとする課題〕
上記のような従来の救難信号発信ブイは以上のように構
成されているので、トーン信号発信方式のものでは、方
向探知機を使用して捜索しなければならず、捜索に時間
がかかり、特に夜間などの遭難の場合、短時間で遭難者
を発見するのは困難を極めるという問題がある。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventional distress signal transmitting buoys such as those described above are configured as described above, so in the tone signal transmitting type, it is necessary to search using a direction finder. However, there is a problem in that it takes a long time to search, and it is extremely difficult to find the victim in a short time, especially when the person is in distress at night.
また、位置座標発信方式のものでは、遭難位置は直ちに
知ることができるが、遭難者とブイが風や潮流等で流さ
れた場合に、ブイから構成される装置座標が実際に遭難
者がいる位置と異なり、夜間などにおいては捜索が非常
に困難になる。In addition, with the position coordinate transmitting method, the location of the victim can be immediately known, but if the victim and buoy are blown away by wind or current, the device coordinates made up of the buoy may be used to indicate the actual location of the victim. Unlike the location, searching becomes extremely difficult at night.
さらに、装置が大型化し、小型船や航空機での使用には
適さない等の問題点があった。Furthermore, there were other problems, such as the large size of the device, making it unsuitable for use in small ships or aircraft.
この発明はかかる課題を解決するためになされたもので
、遭難者やブイが風や潮流などで流された場合でも、実
際に遭難者のいる位置座標を直ちに知ることができ、且
つ、小型で航空機や小型船での使用にも適する救難信号
発信ブイを提供することを目的としている。This invention was made in order to solve such problems, and even if a person or a buoy is blown away by wind or current, the coordinates of the actual location of the person can be immediately known, and it is small and has a small size. The aim is to provide a distress signal buoy that is also suitable for use on aircraft and small ships.
