Smart life saving apparatus {Smart life saving apparatus}

The present invention relates to a smart life-saving device, and more particularly, to a smart life-saving device that is wearable on the body and provides buoyancy when an emergency occurs during water activities so that life-saving activities can be performed.

In general, a life-saving tube is a life-saving tool made of a resin material filled with gas to save a person in distress at sea or on the water, and is thrown around a person in distress from a safe location outside the water so that the person in distress can rely on the life-saving tube. to make the activity happen.

In particular, safety accidents that occur while playing in the water can prevent life-threatening accidents only when lifesaving activities are performed within a very short time, within a few seconds or tens of seconds after the accident occurs.

Therefore, in case of a safety accident on the water, in most cases, if there are ropes or tubes nearby, you can quickly throw them and rescue people. In reality, it is very rare to have life-saving devices such as tubes or ropes nearby when an accident occurs.

In addition, life-saving tubes used to rescue survivors at sea or on water must be thrown around the victims in a gas-filled state due to their characteristics. Since it is short and it is not easy to throw the tube from a safely secured throwing position on the ground to an accident site far away, there are many difficulties in rescuing the victim.

In addition, since a plurality of life-saving tubes are bundled with ropes at regular intervals on the ship, lifesaving tubes are used to rescue people in the event of an accident, but personally, it is very difficult to carry them during water activities.

Therefore, the volume is reduced to be portable and provided to be worn, and the volume is selectively expanded to provide buoyancy only when an emergency occurs during water play at sea or on the water, so that the device that enables lifesaving activities by themselves is popularized. It is essential.
