Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a device that enables unmanned marine rescue operations, and particularly to a robot capable of performing marine rescue operations using a remotely controlled robot. Regarding marine rescue equipment.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, when sea conditions are bad, a capsizing accident of a fishing boat or the like occurs and a rescue operation is required, but conventional rescue boats cannot perform rescue operations at all in bad weather. Also,
Even if the weather subsides somewhat, rescue operations will have to be canceled after sunset.

By dispensing drugs quickly, rescuers can increase the chance of survival for the victims and narrow down the scope of the disaster.

On the other hand, as time passes, the chance of survival decreases;
Moreover, the range will also be spread out.

Therefore, the reality is that when rescue operations become extended, the task changes from rescuing survivors to recovering bodies. One of the reasons why rescue operations are running out of steam day by day and ending with the victims still missing is partly due to the delay in the start of rescue operations.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

When a marine accident occurs due to bad weather, the rescue boat itself is in danger, and in order to avoid being involved in a marine accident, work must begin after the sea conditions have subsided to some extent, which delays initial rescue. Therefore, not only does the probability of survival of the victims become low, but also the efforts to recover bodies become difficult and the cost of such activities becomes enormous.

The reason for this is that initial rescue operations cannot be carried out quickly and rescue operations cannot be carried out safely.

The present invention aims to solve these problems by making the rescue work unmanned (robotic) and allowing it to be carried out remotely, so that initial activities can be carried out quickly and safely. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a robotic sea rescue device with the following features.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the robotic sea rescue device of the present invention includes a plurality of front robots as unmanned submarines placed in front, and a front end connected to these front robots so that the robots can communicate with each other. The system includes a rescue net that is spread out over a rescue net, a plurality of rear robots connected to the rear end of the net, and a plurality of unmanned offshore boats arranged at the rear. It is characterized by being constructed as a hq with a control system that can be used vertically.

[For production]

In the above-mentioned robotic sea rescue device of the present invention, for example, 2
A front robot as a submarine and two rear robots as offshore boats are used, and when these are fixed to the four corners of an underwater net and navigated, this net will be able to travel from a predetermined depth to the ocean. It is deployed to encircle the ships, so survivors floating on the ocean can be rescued.

These four robots and a net are combined into a set, which can be dropped onto the sea surface by aircraft or launched from land, and in this way, initial rescue operations can be started immediately after a marine accident occurs. .

Moreover, by firing several sets or more of such sets in a certain direction and angle, the probability of rescuing survivors can be increased.

〔Example〕

Below, a robotic sea rescue device as an embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing its operating state, FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view showing its state during rescue work, and FIG. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the control system.

As shown in Fig. 1, there are two front robots 1.1 as two unmanned submarines placed in front, and two robots 1.
A rescue net 2 is provided between the rescue nets 2 and 2.
Rear robots 3 as unmanned offshore boats are connected to the left and right sides of the rear end of #I42, respectively, and are arranged so as to be able to lift the net 2.

Each robot 1, 3 is controlled by a control system as shown in PIS3 diagram. That is, a control signal is sent from a control signal transmitter 10 on an aircraft or on land to a receiving device of the rear robot 3 by radio waves 11.
Additionally, a cable 2 integrated into the wires on both sides of the net 2
A control signal is also sent to the front robot 1 via a.

These control signals control the propeller 5 and rudder 6 of the rear robot 3 as well as the propeller 5 of the front robot 1. The horizontal wings 4 with rudders 6 and 7 laps are controlled, and in this way each robot 1, 3 is controlled remotely.

The forward robot 1 dives to a required depth according to the rescue operation program, and at the same time navigates while keeping a constant distance in order to deploy w42. Regarding the rear part of this net 2, the rear robot 3 followed it while keeping a constant distance so as to suspend and expand it, and as shown in Figure 2, the IA2 was expanded diagonally from a certain water depth to the ocean. In the form of,
Survivors and floating objects floating on the ocean can be recovered.

Note that the left and right front robots 1, 1 work to spread the net 2 by sailing slightly outward, and similarly, the rear robots 3 also work to spread the net 2 by sailing slightly outward from each other.
The net 2 can be fully expanded.

The rear robot 3 is equipped with a lighting device 7, a television camera (not shown), a tQ device, etc., which allows it to work at night, and the lighting device 7 provides reassuring encouragement to survivors floating at sea. It inevitably climbs onto the rear robot 3 at the base of the net 2, increasing the probability of survival.

By attaching a tension switch to the base of the net 2, if any force is applied to the net 2, the flow resistance will increase, so when this is detected, the front robot 1 will levitate and stop navigation.The same rear robot 3 By stopping the rescue operations, the rescue location becomes clear and concrete effective activities can be started immediately.

In addition, the front robot 1. Since the rescue net 2 and the rear robot 3 can be dropped from an aircraft or launched from the ground as a set, several sets of angles and directions can be set in the area where the marine accident is expected to occur. Rescue operations can be carried out more effectively by operating the system.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As detailed above, according to the robotic marine rescue system of the present invention, the front robot as an unmanned submarine, the rescue net, and the rear robot as an unmanned offshore layer can be dropped by an aircraft or launched from the ground. This makes it possible to carry out initial rescue operations quickly, even in bad sea conditions or at night.This allows for rescue operations with a high survival rate, and allows operations to be carried out at an early stage, thereby increasing the range of rescue operations. Since it does not need to spread, it also has the advantage of reducing the cost and duration of rescue operations.

Furthermore, by changing the mesh of the net, this device can be used for fishing, or it can be used to investigate the temperature and distribution of tidal currents.
