Description

Diving Helmet {SUBMARINE HELMET}

The present invention relates to a diving helmet. Specifically, the present invention relates to a diving helmet supplied with air from a surface to allow underwater work or walking.

Diving helmets are equipment used underwater for industrial, military, and leisure purposes, such as workers working underwater or pedestrians walking underwater.

Diving helmets are sometimes used in conjunction with compressed air to allow divers to carry compressed air and act independently, but they are usually used when performing underwater work for aquatic work or underwater walking for leisure purposes. have. At this time, in the case of underwater work or leisure for use by underwater pedestrians, diving helmets are frequently used in the surface during the so-called surface supply for supplying breathing gas to the user through a hose from a surface that is outside of the water.

In the past, such a diving helmet could simply observe the water through the front glass, but according to the development of technology, it is necessary to provide a variety of or organized information to the user to be able to display external images.

The diving helmet according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 is a view schematically showing a diving helmet according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 1, when looking at the diving helmet according to an example of the present invention, the diving helmet is a helmet unit 110, the field of view 120, the mask unit 130, the regulator unit 140, the gas delivery unit ( 150, an image photographing unit 160, and a communication unit 170. Examine each component in detail.

The helmet unit 110 is a portion worn on the user's head. The gas delivery unit 150 is formed at one side of the helmet unit 110, the viewing unit 120 is formed at the front side, and the regulator unit 140 is installed at the lower side of the viewing unit 120.

The view unit 120 is formed on the front of the helmet unit 110 to provide an underwater view. In this case, the view unit 120 may display an image. For example, in one example, the view unit 120 may display an image photographed by the image capturing unit 160 in the entire window or in a partial region or display an image received from the water underwater according to a setting operation. For example, the view unit 120 may display text or other multimedia information in addition to an image received from the outside.

The mask unit 130 is worn on the respirator of the user. The mask part 130 is formed to surround the mouth and the nose. The mask part 130 may be formed inside the helmet part 110 or may be integrally formed with the helmet part 110 and may be formed to surround the user's chin and mouth, for example.

The regulator unit 140 receives the gas for breathing, provides the mask unit 130, and discharges the gas discharged from the mask unit 130 into water. Usually, the breathing gas provided to the outside of the water is a gas of a high pressure higher than atmospheric pressure, so that the pressure is regulated in the regulator unit 140 and may be provided to the mask unit 130. In addition, the gas generated as a result of respiration can be immediately discharged into the water through the regulator 140.

The gas delivery part 150 is formed at one side of the helmet part 110 and transmits a breathing gas supplied from the outside to the regulator part 140. For example, the gas delivery unit 150 is provided with a hose connector 151 connected to the outside and the hose through the water, and supplies the gas for breathing from the gas supply system mounted on the outside of the water, for example, the ship through the hose connector 151 I can receive it. For example, the hose connector 151 is a connector for receiving a normal compressed compressed gas. Although not shown, the gas delivery unit 150 may be further provided with an emergency gas connector for receiving an emergency gas in an emergency situation through a hose from underwater. At this time, the emergency gas may be provided to the mask unit 130 via the regulator unit 140 through the gas transfer unit 150. For example, the emergency gas may be a high concentration of oxygen, but is not limited thereto.

In addition, the gas delivery unit 150 may include an adjustment switch 153. The control switch 153 may adjust the input or blocking of the normal breathing gas and emergency gas.

For example, the gas delivery unit 150 may supply gas provided from the outside of the water into the helmet unit 110 as well as the regulator unit 140.

The image capturing unit 160 is formed on the other side of the helmet unit 110 and captures an image including the front. For example, the image capturing unit 160 may further photograph not only the front but also the rear or / and the side.

For example, the image capturing unit 160 may include an underwater camera 161 for photographing an underwater image and an illumination 162 for providing illumination to an area to be photographed.

Next, the communication unit 170 performs video and audio communication with the underwater world. The communication unit 170 may include a video module and a voice module to perform video and voice communication. The image module may modulate the image signal photographed by the image capturing unit 160 or demodulate the image signal received from the outside. Although not shown, the voice module may modulate a voice signal received through a microphone mounted in the helmet unit 110 or demodulate a voice signal received from outside of the water and transmit the demodulated voice signal to a speaker (not shown) inside the helmet unit 110. have.

For example, the communication unit 170 may perform data communication, and may transmit text information received from the outside of the water to be displayed on the view unit 120.

For example, in one example, although not shown, the communication unit 170 may include a wired communication unit for performing wired communication and an ultrasonic communication unit for performing communication with the outside of the water with ultrasonic signals. For example, the wired communication unit is connected to a communication unit externally underwater, for example, mounted on a ship via a cable. The ultrasonic communication unit wirelessly communicates with the underwater world. For example, the ultrasonic communication unit may be operated in an emergency situation. For example, in one example, the ultrasonic communication unit may perform only communication regarding a voice signal.

For example, in one example, the diving helmet may further include a linker 180. The connecting portion 180 is connected to the outside of the underwater, for example, through the lifeline, such as wire and equipment on the ship, the lifeline, such as wire is fastened to the connecting ring 180 so that in the emergency to pull the diver from the ship underwater underwater. can do.

In the foregoing description, the above-described embodiments and the accompanying drawings are not limited to the scope of the present invention, but are provided by way of example to help those skilled in the art to understand the present invention.
