In the following, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, but the embodiments are for a clear understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. In the following description, components having the same reference numerals in different drawings have similar functions, so if they are not necessary for the understanding of the invention, they will not be described repeatedly, and well-known components will be briefly described or omitted, but the present invention It should not be understood as being excluded from the embodiment of.

1 shows an embodiment of a danger signal generator of a separation structure according to the present invention.

Referring to Figure 1, the danger signal generator of the separation structure is an operation module 12; A transmitter module 11 which is separated from the operation module 12 and generates a danger signal when a predetermined condition is detected while being coupled to the operation module 12; And a hazard detection sensor installed inside the operation module 12, wherein the transmitter module 11 includes a display means that is recognizable from the outside while being able to move to a predetermined position according to an external environment.

The danger signal generator includes an operating module 12 for detecting an operating condition; And a transmitter module 11 that is separated from the operation module 12 when an operating condition occurs. The danger signal generator may have a structure that can be worn on the human body, and may have a structure that can be worn or attached to, for example, a wrist, ankle, a waist, or a similar body part. For example, it can be made of a wristwatch, bracelet or similar wearable accessory structure. The operation module 12 may have a box shape as a whole, and may include a hazard detection sensor for detecting a predetermined external environmental condition in the operation module 12; A microprocessor that processes information detected by the risk detection sensor; And a separation operation means for separating the transmitter module 11 according to the information transmitted from the microprocessor. The danger detection sensor of an external environmental condition may be, for example, a pressure or a pressure change. For example, when the danger signal generator is submerged in water, the pressure may increase due to water pressure, or the pressure may change into a sudden fluctuation form. If the pressure rises above a certain level, it indicates that the user or the danger signal generator is at the depth corresponding to the danger situation. Alternatively, the danger detection sensor may be such as a touch detection unit or a temperature detection unit. For example, if the danger signal generator is in the operating state and the state of no contact continues for a certain period of time, it is likely that a safety accident has occurred. In addition, if the user's body temperature is outside a predetermined range, there is a high possibility that the user is in a dangerous situation. In this way, the risk detection sensor can recognize a dangerous situation by detecting an external environment or various environments for a user, and is not limited to the presented embodiment.

The danger signal generator according to the present invention can be applied to prevent various safety accidents occurring in a water playground, river or sea, and in particular, can be applied to prevent water safety accidents of children. For example, a danger signal generator may be worn on the wrist or ankle of a child, and pressure may be detected by a danger detection sensor when there is a risk of a drowning accident or a similar accident. When the detected pressure becomes higher than a certain level, or when a pressure change appears rapidly, a separation operation means may be operated to separate the transmitter module 11 from the operation module 12. The separating actuation means may comprise, for example, a motor, a gear or similar mechanical means, and may be actuated by the actuation initiating means to separate the transmitter module 11.

The transmitter module 11 may include a signal generating means for generating a danger signal and a signal transmitting means for transmitting the generated signal. Additionally, the transmitter module 11 may have a structure capable of moving the transmission position. The signal generating means may be, for example, a communication chip capable of generating a wireless communication signal, a light emitting means such as an LED element, or a sound generator that generates an alarm sound, but is not limited thereto. A structure in which the transmission position can be moved may be, for example, a structure capable of floating above the water surface by making the specific gravity smaller than that of water. For example, in a situation where a dangerous situation occurs to a child playing in the water, the danger signal generator may be located underwater, and the transmitter module 11 may be separated when the pressure rises above a certain level. In addition, the separated transmitter module 11 rises to the surface due to buoyancy, and when it reaches the surface, a signal generating means is operated to transmit a wireless signal, emit light, or generate an acoustic signal. When the transmitter module 11 is located underwater, it is difficult to transmit a wireless signal, the emitted light is difficult to be recognized from the outside, and an acoustic signal is not transmitted to the outside. On the other hand, when the transmitter module 11 floats above the water surface and generates a signal, transmission and recognition may be possible, and accordingly, a response to a dangerous situation may be quickly performed. Movement of the transmission position of the transmitter module 11 may be performed in various ways and is not limited to the presented embodiment.

The danger signal generator may be made in a waterproof structure as a whole, and the operation module 12 or the transmitter module 11 may be made in a sealed structure in which water does not enter. In addition, at least the transmitter module 11 can be made in a structure that has a small specific gravity compared to water. Wearing means (13a, 13b) can be coupled to both sides of the operation module (12), the locking means (14) is formed at the end of the wearing means (13a, 13b) to the wrist, ankle or other part of the body Can be worn. In the present embodiment, the danger signal generator has a wearing structure, but the danger signal generator may be made with an attachment structure. For example, the danger signal generator may be made of a structure that can be attached to a human body or a swimsuit. The danger signal generator can be made in a variety of wearing or attachment structures, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
