Description

{EMERGENCY MEASURE APPARATUS FOR A DISTRESSED SHIP}

The present invention relates to an emergency response device, and more particularly to an emergency response device for a distressed vessel.

In order to confirm the position of the ship when the ship is in distress, the ship is generally equipped with a position information generating device.

However, when the ship is completely submerged in the water, the position information generating apparatus is not normally operated, so that it is difficult to accurately grasp the position of the ship.

Further, when the bow of the ship on which the position information generating apparatus is mounted is separated from the stern, the position of the stern without the position information generating apparatus is difficult to be accurately grasped.

In addition, the distressed victims who fall into the water can not accurately grasp the position where the ship sank and where they are located, and thus are scattered along the water flow. This makes it difficult for survivors to rescue quickly even if a rescue ship arrives.

FIG. If a vessel is distressed, it becomes a distress vessel. Therefore, in the following description, a vessel and a distressed vessel mean one vessel.

The distress vessel emergency apparatus 20 according to the present invention can be mounted on each of the bow 11 and the stern 12 of the ship as shown in Fig.

However, the distress vessel emergency apparatus 20 may be mounted on only one of the bow 11 or the stern 12 of the ship.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described as an example of a ship in which the emergency emergency ship 20 is mounted on each of the bow 11 and the stern 12 of the ship, as shown in Figs.

2 to 4, the distress vessel emergency apparatus 20 includes a position information generating unit 21, a control unit 22, a door opening unit 23, an illumination unit 24, a gas injection unit 25, a balloon 26, a sensing unit 29, a lifeline 27, a buoy 28, and an input unit 30.

First, the sensing unit 29 senses the inclination of the ship. For this purpose, the sensing unit 29 may include various types of sensors capable of sensing a tilt.

Also, the sensing unit 29 may sense at least one of the amount of water introduced into the ship or the height of the water introduced into the ship.

To this end, the sensing unit 29 may further include at least one of a sensor for sensing the amount of water or a sensor for sensing the height of water.

In other words, the sensing unit 29 basically senses the tilt of the ship, and the sensing unit 29 can measure the amount of water flowing into the ship, And information on the height of the water. However, the sensing unit 29 may sense at least any one of the amount of water or the height of the water, and then detect the inclination of the ship.

Next, the gas injecting unit 25 injects gas into the balloon 26.

For example, when the gas injection control signal is received from the control unit 22, the gas injection unit 25 may operate the air pump to inject gas into the balloon 26.

The control unit 22 analyzes the sensing signal transmitted from the sensing unit 29. When the sensing unit 29 determines that the ship is tilted by more than a predetermined angle, the control unit 22 drives the gas injecting unit 25, Gas can be injected.

When the sensing unit 29 can detect the amount of water or the height of water in addition to the inclination of the ship, the control unit 22 analyzes the sensing signal transmitted from the sensing unit 29, Whether or not the amount of water is greater than a predetermined amount, or whether or not the height of water is higher than a predetermined height.

If it is determined that the amount of water is greater than the predetermined amount or the height of the water is higher than the preset height, the controller 22 controls the gas injection unit 25, And the positional information generating unit 21 can be driven.

More specifically, if the inclination of the ship exceeds a predetermined angle, the amount of water becomes equal to or more than a predetermined amount, or the height of the water becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined height, the control unit 22 determines that the ship is likely to be distressed do.

Accordingly, the control unit 22 drives the gas injection unit 25 and the position information generation unit 21 to prepare for a distress.

When the balloon 26 is hermetically closed by the door, the control unit 22 may open the door so that the balloon 26 floats to the sky. To this end, the control unit 22 drives the door opening unit 23 capable of opening the door.

Information on the predetermined angle, the predetermined amount of water, the predetermined height of the water, and the like can be stored in the control unit 22 and stored in a separate storage unit that can be read by the control unit 22 .

Next, the door opening unit 23 opens the door that closes the balloon 26, under the control of the control unit 22. For example, the door opening portion 23 may be a motor capable of opening the door. According to the control of the control unit 22, when the door opening unit 23, that is, the motor is driven, the door can be opened by the rotation of the motor.

When the door is opened and gas is injected into the balloon 26 by the gas injecting unit 25, the balloon 26 can float to the sky as shown in FIG.

In this case, the balloon 26 is connected to the ship by a lifeline 27.

A light-emitting material may be applied to the lifesaving line 27. The luminous material can output light at night. Accordingly, the survivors who have fallen into the water can stand on the lifeline 27 after confirming the light emitted from the luminous material.

Next, the balloon 26 may be injected with the gas by the gas injection unit 25 as described above. The gas may be a lighter gas than air, for example, hydrogen.

When the gas is injected into the balloon 26 by the gas injecting unit 25 and the door is opened by the door opening unit 23, the balloon 26 can float to the sky.

Since the balloon 26 is connected to the distress vessel, the position of the distress vessel can be accurately determined by the balloon 26.

Also, the distressed persons who have been distressed while boarding the distress vessel can collect around the balloon 26 after confirming the balloon 26.

Thus, when rescue vessels or rescue helicopters arrive around the distress vessel, they can be easily grasped and thus, the rescuers can be quickly rescued.

The size of the balloon 26 may be such that it can support the weight of the distressed vessel. Therefore, the time that the distressed vessel is immersed in water may be delayed.

The life line 27 may be formed deeper than the depth of the sea or the river, and may be formed as long as possible considering the depth of the sea or the river.

In the case where the emergency relief device 20 according to the present invention is mounted on the bow and stern of the ship, respectively, even if the bow and stern are separated as shown in Fig. 4, The device 20 can be driven.

Accordingly, after the at least one of the balloon 26, the life line 27, the buoy 28 and the illumination unit 24 is confirmed, You can stay near the stern. Thus, the victims can be quickly and accurately rescued by rescue vessels or rescue helicopters.

The location information generating unit 21 may be mounted on the lifeline 27 connecting the balloon 26 with the ship or may be directly mounted on the balloon 26.

The position information generating unit 21 may generate position information according to the control signal transmitted from the control unit 22 and transmit the generated position information to the emergency response system 40.

For example, the position information generating unit 21 may determine its position using at least three artificial satellites, and then transmit the detected position information to the emergency response system 40 by radio.

The emergency response system 40 can transmit the positional information received from the positional information generating unit 21 to a rescue boat or a structural helicopter to be rescued.

Accordingly, the rescue ship or the structural helicopter can quickly go to the distressed position of the ship.

The lighting unit 24 may be mounted on the lifeline 27 connecting the balloon 26 with the ship or directly mounted on the balloon 26.

The illumination unit 24 outputs light under the control of the control unit 22.

The position of the balloon 26 can be accurately grasped even at night so that the position of the distressed vessel can be accurately determined.

Also, the distressed persons who have been distressed while boarding the distress vessel can collect around the balloon 26 after confirming the light output from the illumination unit 24.

Thus, when rescue vessels or rescue helicopters arrive around the distress vessel, they can be easily grasped and thus, the rescuers can be quickly rescued.

Next, at least one buoy 28 floating in water may be mounted on the life-line 27.

The buoys 28 may be formed of a material that can float in water, such as, for example, plastic or styrofoam.

However, like the balloon 26, gas can be injected into the buoy 28 by the gas injection unit 25. [ For example, gas may be injected into the buoy 28 after the gas is injected into the balloon 26.

Convicts gathered around the balloon 26 may hold the lifeline 27. Particularly, since the buoys 28 are formed so as to float on the water, the survivors holding the lifeline 27 can support and support the buoys 28.

Finally, the input unit 30 receives the emergency response control signal from the user.

The input unit 30 may be mounted to the steering chamber 13 of the distressed vessel or may be mounted at a position where the emergency assistance apparatus 20 for the distressed vessel is provided. In this case, the input unit 30 may include a button for inputting an emergency response control signal.

Further, the input unit 30 may perform wireless communication or wireless communication with a communication device provided in the wheelhouse 13.

For example, if it is determined that the ship is not normally controlled due to an accident that is not detected by the detection unit 29, for example, a fire or a chemical attack, etc., the source of the distressed vessel may be controlled via the input unit 30 The emergency action control signal can be input.

In addition, the crew can input the emergency action control signal through the communication device provided in the wheelhouse 13, and the inputted emergency action control signal can be transmitted to the input unit 30 through wireless or wired.

The control unit 22 controls the gas injection unit 25, the position information generation unit 21, the door opening unit 23, and the illumination unit 24, when the emergency action control signal is input from the input unit 30, .
