Description

A marine lifesaving smart buoy system

The present invention is a marine lifesaving smart that is selectively attached to a life jacket so that the rescuer can quickly and accurately recognize and rescue the person in distress by arbitrarily performing tasks such as light emission and location information transmission when an accident occurs. It is about the buoy system.

Specifically, it relates to a marine lifesaving smart buoy system that is supplied with power through a charger and photovoltaic power generation to realize high-resolution LED blinking operation and location information transmission work through GPS-based satellite coordinate tracking, respectively.

More specifically, when a person in distress is obtained in the water through a customized response of the coupling structure to the life jacket of the survivor, the system body that performs the distress light emission and location information transmission floats on the water while physically and physically with the life jacket of the survivor. It is related to a marine lifesaving smart buoy system that is connected (wires, etc.) to secure the position of the survivor.

In general, it is not easy to identify and rescue people in the sea in case of being in distress in the open sea or in distress due to sea fishing, etc.

Moreover, when it gets dark, it is usually not difficult to identify a person's life in the open sea.

On the other hand, there is a life jacket as a life jacket that is very useful in case of distress at sea, and the life jacket is filled with a light material having an air layer inside or is filled with several air packs, etc. to generate strong buoyancy when submerged in water. .

Accordingly, the life jacket can float the wearer on the water surface, and the survivor can rely on the life jacket to survive.

However, in the ocean, the survivors do not stay at the accident site and are drifted by the waves.

In other words, when the rescue operation is performed quickly, the shipwrecked by the wave can be found at a point not far from the accident site, but it can be found in a situation where the rescue operation cannot be carried out quickly or when the waves around the accident point are very strong. Under certain circumstances, they may drift far away from the accident site, making rescue difficult.

Therefore, the rescue team will carry out additional search operations to find the survivors, which may make the rescue operation difficult.

This difficulty in identifying the survivors is aggravated when the accident site is not close to the land, so the drift distance of the survivors has to be relatively increased, or at night when visibility is extremely limited. There is a problem that obstructs and jeopardizes the life of the distressed in an urgent situation.

Recently, various devices and systems have been proposed to solve the problems of the life jacket as described above, and to identify the position of the victim through emission of light emission and location transmission data.
