The lifesaving device 10 according to the present invention may be installed at the stern of a ship and may be installed, for example, on a ship or boat that can accommodate a small number of people, and may preferably be installed on a single-person operating ship. However, the lifesaving device 10 according to the present invention may be installed on a ship or boat of various sizes by appropriate design changes, and the present invention is not limited by the type of ship. In addition, the lifesaving device 10 may be installed at the stern of the ship, but the installation location may be appropriately selected according to the structure of the ship. In the present specification, the rotation shaft 112 may be operated by various operation units. For example, the operating unit may comprise a device such as a handle 115, a motor or a gear and may be any means or device for manually or automatically actuating the rotating shaft 112. And by the operation of the rotating shaft 112, the life-saving ladder 12 may be wound or released on the rotating shaft 112.

The accommodation drum 111 may be made in a closed structure in a hollow cylindrical shape. However, the opening portion 111a is formed in the receiving drum 111 in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder shape so that the life-saving ladder 12 can be accessed. The receiving drum 111 may have various structures in which the rotation shaft 112 can be installed, and the present invention is not limited to the presented embodiment. A rotation shaft 112 may be installed on the receiving drum 111 by using a rotation induction unit 114 such as a bearing. The rotating shaft 112 may be operated by a driving device such as a motor, a mechanical means such as a spring, or manually operated. As described above, the motor, the mainspring or the handle 115 may be an operating unit. For example, by rotating the handle 115, the life ladder 12 spread out of the receiving drum 111 may be wound around the rotation shaft 113. An automatic release unit 113 having a locking function connected to an operation unit of the rotating shaft 112 such as the handle 115 may be installed on the side of the receiving drum 11. The automatic release unit 113 may have a function of preventing reverse rotation while having a spring structure, for example, and at the same time may have a locking function if necessary. When an operation start signal is received from the communication unit 13, the lock function is released, and at the same time, the rotation shaft 112 can be automatically rotated in a manner that the mainspring is released or by a device such as a motor, thereby opening the open part 111a. Through the life-saving ladder 12 can be unfolded to the outside. Thereafter, the life ladder 12 may be wound around the rotation shaft 112 again by rotating an operation unit such as the handle 115 or operating a driving device such as a motor. An elastic means such as a spring may be embedded in the interior of the automatic release unit 113, and a device such as a reverse rotation prevention gear or a reverse rotation prevention latch may be installed.

The pair of strings 121 may have a shape similar to a string or string made of a synthetic resin such as nylon. The floating member 122 may be made of an elastic polyurethane foam, polypropylene, or acrylic material, or may be made of a material such as rubber or silicone. The floating member 122 may have a sufficiently small specific gravity compared to water or may be made in an empty shape, but may be made of various materials or shapes capable of floating in water, and the present invention is not limited to the presented embodiment.

One or more loosening inducing members 123 may be disposed at ends of the pair of strings 121. The loosening induction member 123 may be made of a material or shape having a relatively large weight compared to the floating member 122 while being made in a plate shape. Due to such a relatively large specific gravity, the life ladder 12 may be easily released by the release guide member 123 at the time when the life ladder 12 starts to be released. Specifically, it may have a function of a weight. However, since it is automatically released by the operation start signal, the release guide member 123 is not necessarily installed. The loosening inducing member 123 installed at the ends of the pair of strings 121 may have a structure that seals the open portion 111a. For example, a step is formed along the circumferential surface of the open portion 111a and the loosening guide member 123 is aligned with the step so that the receiving drum 111 is sealed to the outside. The life ladder 12 does not necessarily consist of a pair of strings 121 or floating members 122. For example, one string 121 may be installed, and a spherical or other suitable floating member 122 may be disposed on the string 121 at regular intervals. And, if necessary, the loosening inducing member 123 may be disposed at the end of the string 121. Such a structure may have a structure similar to a structure in which the life ladder 12 is automatically unwound by a wire or string and manually wound in a device such as a winch. The life ladder 12 may have various structures, and the present invention is not limited to the presented embodiments.

The life ladder 12 may be spread out of the receiving drum 111 by an operation start signal received from the communication unit 13. The start-up signal may be from a device such as a remote control, for example, or may be sent for example by means of a suitable start-up means installed on the ship. The remote control may be carried by the occupant and may have an activation button for operation of the life ladder 12. The remote control is described again below. The communication unit 13 may include an installation box 131 and an antenna 132 in which a communication chip disposed inside or outside the receiving drum 111 is embedded.

A lock operation unit 22 may be installed in the lifesaving device and the lock operation unit 22 may be connected to the communication box 131 and to the ship operation unit 23 as necessary. The ship operation unit 23 is a device for controlling the operation of a propulsion device such as a screw of a ship, and may be composed of a lock unit 231 such as an operation key and a navigation lock unit 232. The locking unit 231 generally refers to a key installed to start or stop the operation of the ship, and the navigation lock unit 232 refers to an operation key that is separately connected to the lock operation unit 22. The navigation lock unit 232 may be installed separately or may be installed in the form of an element in a manner that allows the lock unit 231 to be electrically operated. And the navigation lock unit 232 may be connected to the lock operation unit 22 installed in the lifesaving device by wire (L1) such as a cable or wireless, for example.

When the occupant is separated from the boat and falls into the sea, the operation start button 211 installed on the remote control 21 in possession may be operated. By operating the operation start button 211, an operation start signal may be transmitted to a communication chip installed in the communication box 131 wirelessly via an antenna. When an operation start signal is received from the communication chip 131, the lock operation unit 22 may be operated. The locking operation unit 22 may first unlock the life ladder so that the life ladder is unfolded. At the same time, the operation of the ship can be stopped by operating the navigation lock unit 232. Due to this, the ship is stopped and the passenger who is drowned can re-board the ship using the life ladder. As described above, the apparatus according to the present invention effectively saves life by stopping the operation of the ship at the same time as the operation of the life ladder.

The lifesaving device according to the invention is particularly useful in the case of a single-person ship, but can also be applied to two or more boarding ships.
