Description

The invention relates to a technique for saving people in distress.

Rescue devices are known for rescuing people in distress, for example devices for delivering throwing tips for rescue in a fire, containing balloons, adjusting coils with a stopper and cables. Rescue devices are also known, consisting of a rope on which bags are fastened, reinforced with transverse straps.

The disadvantages of the known devices are the complexity of the design and the high cost of time to bring the devices into working condition.

Closest to the proposed technical essence is a complex that includes an aircraft carrying a rescue rope with a device for securing the rescued, made in the form of segments of a rope of smaller diameter, the lower ends of which are fixed to the rope through couplings fixed to the rescue rope fixedly, and the upper ends are fixed through couplings fixed on the rescue rope movably (SU 556817 A1, 05/05/1977).

A disadvantage of the known solution is that when it is used, pieces of rope can cause damage to people, in addition, it is not suitable for saving drowning people.

The problem to which this invention is directed is to create a rescue complex that can provide quick support to victims on the surface of the water, carry them up to the aircraft and transport them to a safe place.

The technical result achieved by the implementation of the invention is the ability to provide effective, quick assistance to people on the surface of the water.

The specified technical result is achieved in that in a complex for saving people, including an aircraft carrying a rescue rope with a device for securing the rescued, made in the form of segments of a rope of smaller diameter, the lower ends of which are fixed to the rope through couplings fixed to the rescue rope motionless, and the upper ends are fixed through couplings, movably mounted on the rescue rope, according to the invention, the lower ends are fixed through short couplings, and the upper ends through long, rescue channels it is wound onto a drum mounted on a bed mounted in the aircraft’s hull, while the drum drive is made through a gear from the winch, while the device has transparent inflatable rubber balls mounted on the necks equipped with carabiners for fastening with the eyes of the long couplings of the rescue rope, the necks of the balls are made in the form of two containers connected to each other by a threaded connection through a transition element having threads on both sides, while one of the containers is made it is sealed, filled with compressed air and has a thin membrane, and the second container has a dry electric current source and an electric bulb, the cartridge of which is made with a longitudinal cut, while the transition element has a needle with an internal channel for piercing the membrane.

The walls of transparent balls after filling them with air have a reddish color.

The bed with a drum and a winch are made collapsible.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, where in Fig.1 shows a complex whose rescue rope is partially lowered to the surface of the water; figure 2 - one of the sections of the rescue rope with stretched along the rope loops; figure 3 is the same, in longitudinal section (enlarged); figure 4 is a view of a section with open loops; figure 5 is a view of unfilled transparent rubber balls; figure 6 is a view of a frame with a drum and a drive winch installed in the body of the aircraft; Fig.7 is the same side view; on Fig - a bulb with a cartridge that can move along the longitudinal axis; Fig.9 is a view of a complex where an airship is used as an aircraft.

The complex for saving people has an aircraft 1, carrying a rope 2 with a device for securing the rescued, made in the form of segments of a rope 3 of smaller diameter, the lower ends of which are fixed on the rope through short couplings 4, fixed on the rescue rope fixedly, and the upper ends are fixed through long couplings 5 mounted on the rescue rope movably and held by friction. The rescue rope is wound on a drum 6, mounted on a frame 7 installed in the aircraft body. The drum drive is made through a gear transmission 8 from a reversing winch 9. The complex has transparent inflatable, for example rubber, balls 10 mounted on the necks equipped with carbines 11 for fastening with the eyes 12 of the long couplings 5 of the rescue rope. The necks of the balls are made in the form of two containers 13, 14 connected to each other by a threaded connection through a transition element 15 having a thread and elastic ring gaskets 30 on both sides. One of the containers 13 is sealed, filled with compressed air and has a thin membrane 16, and the second tank 14 has a dry electric current source 17 and an electric bulb 18, the cartridge 19 of which is made with a longitudinal cutout 20. The transition element 15 has a needle 21 with an internal channel for piercing the membrane 16.

The walls of transparent balls after filling them with air have a reddish color.

Bed 7 with a drum 6 and a winch 9 are made collapsible. The long couplings 5 are made flexible, for example, from rubber, which allows them to bend to pass the wide groove of the roller 22 mounted on the bed 7. The end refinements of the couplings 5, which contain metal washers 23, through which the ends are kept from breaking, also pass through the groove of the roller couplings 5 and the segments of ropes 3 are fixed in them.

The bed 7 has rollers 24 on which it can move relative to the hatch 25, which is closed by the leaves 26. The movement occurs along the guides (not shown in the drawings) in the case when the position of the bed needs to be changed due to the use of the aircraft for other purposes. The parts of the ropes 3 that form the hanging loops are covered with shirts 27 made of flexible heat-resistant material, which significantly thickens the cross-section of the rope loops and helps to reduce injuries that can be caused by people attaching to the rope during a panic. The complex has a sealed container 28 with light and sound intermittent emitters, which helps to pay attention to those in distress on the rescue rope descending from above, and also helps to navigate the crew of the aircraft.

As an aircraft, a modern, reliably controllable airship (Fig. 9) can be used, in a replaceable unit 29 of which a frame 6 with a descent rope is placed.

The rescue complex operates as follows.

The frame 7 with a drum 6 and a winch 9 is fixed in the aircraft body so that it is easy to take the victims on board. In this case, if necessary, then the frame is pre-disassembled.

When rescuing people from a hard surface, for example from the soil of a flooded island, from a flat roof of a skyscraper, from an ice floe, from a mountain range, from a clearing of a burning forest, etc., carabiners 11 do not need to be hung on the eyes 12. This significantly reduces the time for feeding rescue rope in distress. The rope can be lowered with couplings 4, 5 stretched along the rope 1, i.e. in the position in which they were screwed onto the drum 6.

You can lower the rope with the loops already opened. In this case, after the long clutch 5 passes the roller 22, the rescuer during the slow rotation of the drum with his hands grabs the long clutch and quickly overcomes the friction of the clutch 5 about the rope 1, lowers the clutch 5 down to close with the clutch 4, firmly fastened with a rope 1. This can also be done during short winch stops.

During the lifting of people fixed on the rope, continuous winding of the rope on the drum 6 is excluded. When approaching the open hatch, 25 people, fixed on the loose loops of the rope, act on the circumstances. If the person’s position does not impede free passage through the open hatch 25, then the winch is turned off after the person is above the hatch. After that, the hatch is closed and, having replaced the flaps 26, they help the victim to free himself from the hinges. If two people, fixed on the same hinges, approach the hatch, then the lifting speed is slowly slowed down, they help to move through the hatch and after that the hatch is closed by stopping the winch.

When the rope is launched into the water, the balls 10 are pre-filled with air and carabiners 11 as the rope is lowered into the water, attached to the eyes 12. At night, light bulbs are lit in the balls.

To fill the ball 10 with air, push the thread of the transition element 15 onto the thread of the container 13. In this case, the needle 21 pierces the membrane 16 and the compressed air fills the ball through the channel in the needle. To light the bulb 18, the thread of the transition element is pushed onto the thread of the container 14 until the gap in the circuit of the dry element and the bulb disappears.

On a rope, it is advisable to open the loops in advance so that people on the surface of the water can immediately, having swum to the balls, lean on the loops while waiting for the lift.

The containers 28 are always attached to the rope - both when launching the rope into the water, and when launching to the ground.

The proposed complex allows you to save people from both water and land, to lift people on board an aircraft in the air. The reddish-colored balls illuminated from the inside are clearly visible on the surface of the water at night, which makes it easier for those in distress to find them in calm water and among the waves, and makes it easier to navigate the environment and the crew of the aircraft. Intermittent beeps also help distressed people.

The replaceable specialized unit of a modern airship can have a significantly larger area for a bed with a winch, for accommodating injured people, for providing first aid, for storing balloons that are already inflated and prepared for launching, for placing a powerful generator that provides energy to a winch, ball lamps, for a powerful suspended spotlight or spotlights illuminating the field of action while the airship hovering over it.
